Survival in Another World With My Master

Episode 397 - Under the Castle

"Looks like you're at the theme park. I'm so excited."

Is it a-a-a-a-ku?

It's an unfamiliar word to hear, isn't it?

After a luncheon featuring canned and instant noodles, I took the Fox Beastman Byak and the Horse Beastman Shen from among the Beast Maids and took them on a stroll through Dragonis, the king's capital in the Mountain Kingdom.

Doriada is not good at walking around the city, so she doesn't participate. Isla also did not participate in the lecture because she watched the magic airship and she was asked by the royal family of the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom to ask questions about the regenerative medicine using Grande's blood, and she lectured to the alchemist of the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom.

That's why I decided to take the Beast Maid for a stroll through the streets by myself. The Dragonis Mountain Kingdom told us to escort them, but we didn't need them, so we came out alone.

It is obvious that I am a maid who walks with two people, and whoever sees it, is a person with a corresponding status. If you are unfamiliar people who are going out on this day, you can understand that you are a guest from another country to a certain extent. Not many people mess with those people. Mines in sight - like the "sleeping dragon's tail" in this way.

"It's a tight one." Lots of ramps and stairs. Moreover, it's bent and curved. "

It's a city built to stick to a rocky mountain, so I don't know what to do about it.

“Maybe it's anti-slip to bend the staircase right away and make it a dance floor without making it too long.”

Oh, I see.

It's a long staircase or a ramp, and once it's rolled down, it's completely upside down. Moreover, it's basically a stone or rock staircase or ramp, so it seems to be in a pretty splattered state by the time you get down there as a normal person.

I've heard that slipping in the mountains can make you feel like you don't even know your gender... Look at the gear scattered around you and wonder if you know if this is the body of a slipper. That's because you can keep rubbing against rocks at high speeds.

In other words, it's a safety measure.

"Even so, if you fall down the stone staircase at this distance, it looks like you won't be able to make it, but..."

If you're a reptile animal with a strong skin, you might be able to take a minor injury.

Looking closely, the wall of the dance floor down the stairs was the wall of the house, but in front of it was an implanted shrubbery. Maybe it is a replacement cushion. Much better than being hit by a stone wall.

"Let's walk carefully... but it's still pretty lively, isn't it?"

"Yes, I guess it's because I'm planning to hold the National Day festival tomorrow."

Shen nodded as she looked around. The streets with many slopes and stairs were very busy with the flags of the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom and decorations made of colorful cloths. Even so, is it cloth? I imagine using paper lanterns at such festivals, but isn't there much paper production in the Dragonine Mountain Kingdom? Well, I don't think it's an environment rich in vegetation.

“You seem to be serving behavioral alcohol and food.”

"I guess so." Hmm? It looks like the castle used to drink liquor and wine from around the world, but it looks like there's a different kind of liquor in the castle. ”

Behavior When I approached the place where alcohol, food and beverages were served, I was called by the residents who seemed to already be drinking.

Hello, are you a guest from another country?

"Oh, I stayed at the castle." I want to feel the buzz of the castle, so I'm touring it. "

"If you want to celebrate a beautiful day together, even foreign guests are very welcome." Come on, taste the behavioral alcohol. "

That's why he calls out to the people around him and prepares something like a brown cloudy liquor in a wooden cup.

"It's hard for me to get it." It would be nice to have Biku and Shen as well. "

"Um... yes"

I'll take it.

The sour taste is effective. I can feel the alcohol, but it's not that strong. It feels like grape juice, but I don't think it's grape juice... What is the raw material?

What kind of liquor is that?

Hmm, I don't know.

“I don't feel much tannic like wine.”

The next dish served was like "Chimaki", which was wrapped in some kind of leaf and steamed. Sweet, spicy and exciting. But there was a crop that came to mind when I ate this dish.

“Corn, isn't it? The wine is made from the same grains that we use in this dish?”

"Oh, that's right, guest." This cornu is the staple food in our country. I use it for cooking, and I also make sake in Cornu. "

I see.

By the way, a lot of corn has been grown since ancient times around the Andes mountains in South America. The Dragonis Mountain Kingdom is a mountainous kingdom, so are corn crops often used in the same way? It seems to be called Kornu here.

In return for enjoying the cuisine, I offered three barrels of ale from the Merinado Kingdom and decided to quit. I was surprised that I took out three large sake barrels from the empty space, but it was a magical thing to deceive. Even if you're drunk, well, magic is amazing. It was like a reaction.

"I'm glad my booze has weakened."

That's right.

"That steamed dish was delicious. Ask the castle chef and he'll teach you how to make it.”

Looks like Shen liked Cornu's steamed dish. I think we used to grow corn in the Merinado Kingdom, but it was basically ground into flour and used to be the ingredient for thinly baked bread. Yeah, but there's an image of corn clearly separating its uses depending on the species. We hear that seeds used as feed for livestock don't taste good at all when eaten by humans.

I'll go back to the castle and ask if you can give me the seeds of a variety that suits that purpose.

Yes.

When she told Shen what she remembered, she nodded frankly.

I wonder what's going on with the water?

Is it made up by magic, or is it rainwater?

At the end of the day, you can see water tanks and rain collectors on the roof of the house.

"Rain collector?" Well, it's good for the short term, but I'm afraid of bugs and bird carcasses and shit. Maybe there's a filtration device somewhere, or maybe it's not drinking water, but domestic water. "

Maybe the tank itself is equipped with a filtration device, or it's doing some magical processing. I don't think they had expensive purification magic equipment on each house, and maybe they had some kind of magic ceremony stamped on the tank.

"Maybe you don't care about that, and you're using it as drinking water."

I think it's about as simple as filtration and boiling.

"Yeah... my stomach and intestines are strong."

Two of the former pioneers were half as stubborn in their opinions. Well, in this world, even if my stomach hurts a little, it can become magic and alchemy, and there's a real possibility that I won't pay attention to it. You don't have to worry about the endless water sources I make, because they keep flowing.

"But it's lively and good." I hope one day we can hold such a festival in the Kingdom of Merinado. "

Yeah, I think so too.

From now on, right?

It might be a good idea to celebrate the day we reclaim Merinethburg, or the day we reach a truce with the Holy Kingdom. I thought I'd talk to Sylphy and Melty when I got back to Merinethburg.
