Chapter 200 – Germania (7)
The road to Germania was peaceful.
It was because there was not a single noteworthy event in the days leading up to going to the port and boarding a boat to the trading city of Kudoses. I thought it wouldn’t be strange if things like pirates popped out according to the fantasy country rules.
‘Especially because there are many pirates in Germania.’
Vikings, nationally recognized pirates, existed in this country, like the Seven Warlords.
Of course, it is more like a temporary navy that robs the ships of hostile countries or partner pirates similar to private ships, but the fact that they are raising pirates directly in the country was a big shock to me, who was in the first year of another world. Was enough for
As it was such an impressive country, I thought that there would be incidents of unofficial criminals and pirates attacking to loot.
The reality was a peaceful boat trip.
Anyway, to visit this country that gave me a different world reality shock.
Is the expression “Immeasurable” Used in such a situation? I laughed at the sea breeze as I unloaded the boat with my party members.
“The Roadbrick University we are stopping by is in this city.”
Dana explained, wearing a doctoral certificate in archaeology on her chest. It was a noisy port, but in a very low voice, as if taking care not to let other people hear it.
“We will go there and investigate in the name of finding information about the rune stones.”
“It’s not just a name. It’s actually a thesis material.”
I added my words while putting the rune stone in my pocket. That was the excuse for Dana, the head of the Sargadis Archaeological Institute, on a business trip to Germania.
─The handover is over. It’s because they’re salary earners, so it didn’t seem like they hated it too much.
10 days ago, Dana, who finished preparing for the business trip in 4 days, told us that.
Even in rural research institutes, all researchers had a master’s degree or higher.
However, even after graduating from college and enrolling in academia, not all of them were enterprising. Their positions, so to speak, can be said to resemble those of a corporate researcher who gets a job after obtaining a master’s degree or a civil servant in a secluded countryside.
People who want to get a decent salary every month rather than the will to succeed!
So Dana easily went on a business trip. Since business trips for research are at personal discretion, he did not have to report to the academic world, and he came all the way to Germania lightly after telling the researchers.
─Nod. Dana nodded and explained.
“Let’s go to the lodging we knew beforehand and unpack. We’ll only hold the inn and go to college, so you guys should go around in groups of at least two when moving. A lot of bad guys gather in trading cities.”
The party agreed without saying anything. All of them were experienced people who had traveled the world, so they all knew the dangers of a city with a large floating population.
Having lived in the 21st century Korea, where security was said to be good, it was a little less realistic, but I heard that even on Earth, pickpocketing and pickpocketing were very common in countries with poor security. Talking about a different world that becomes infinitely savage when it becomes uncivilized only hurts.
We went to the inn, taking great care not to have our luggage stolen.
Walking down the street, I asked Veronica (Cat Mode), who I held in one hand.
【Veronica. Can you hold on?】
【It’s hard to say, but it’s better to be in the arms of you who are not pure.】
【That’s really pointless to say.】
I don’t know if it’s a compliment or a curse. It’s not that I’m in a bad mood, but it was a bit difficult to answer.
Just as a unicorn feels relieved when held by an innocent person, does a bicorn like this feel safe around a man or woman who has taken off her ada?
When I put it into words, it looks so damn lewd.
【However, dear. Because of my curse, even you have suffered a lot every day.]
【That’s not wrong.】
【… Heh.]
When I affirmed as an old woman, Veronica groaned as if she had nothing to say.
The reason why he transformed into a cat and hugged me.
It was because Kudoses was a city with a lot of fucking people.
Think about it. Veronica in bicorn mode walking around in such a crowded place?
It will be fortunate that the attention is gathered and it is over. Bicorns aren’t such a rare species, but I was just saying that you should be careful about your actions in foreign countries.
Poachers have their eyes shining in the backstreets of cities like this, looking for animals to sell and people to live on.
‘It would be a big deal if I bumped into a virgin while walking around in god mode.’
So Veronica had to give up her god form on her way back and forth.
At that time, the transformation type was different, but all of them registered as ‘cattle’ and rode on wagons and boats, and that’s how they came to this point. But, of course, Veronica seems to have been very dissatisfied with that.
【… I must get rid of the curse as soon as possible.]
The cat Veronica lamented through rune magic telepathy that only I could hear.
【I didn’t know when I was traveling alone. How could human society have developed so complex and diverse? Not only do I cause trouble to you because of the curse, but I am very angry with myself.]
【Are you angry? What?】
【See. Isn’t this city full of life just by looking at it? There is nothing that is clogged up like the holy places of our species and remains unchanged even after hundreds of years. Originally, our family should have been able to wander around freely in a place like this.]
After saying that, Veronica pointed her cat’s hand at an elf or dwarf shopping on the roadside.
As befits a guy who takes the initiative in lifting the clan’s curse, he seems very upset that his clan was kicked out of the flow of history. Though she might have been taking her own life, her horned man and woman, somewhere in this city, had it not been for the curse.
I stroked Veronica’s hair.
【Cheer. That’s why you came all the way here. Let’s get rid of it quickly and go back.]
【Well. I’m sorry for leaving Theresa alone at home forever.]
【Leave her alone. She was originally from a stray cat, so what?]
Teresa, brought in by Veronica, has already completed her employment as her house cat, much to the delight of her wives.
Because I was sensible—because I understood her words—she didn’t look at her wives as can openers. That seemed very good to me.
He’s a smart guy who eats the food he has stored at home, so he won’t starve to death since we’re away for a few months. I also told the hired housekeeper.
“By the way, senior? Why are universities only in these ports?”
It was a question from Lalilura, who was piloting Unit 3.5 by Ringling.
Lingling was wearing a robe, so at a glance, it looked like our party, which was a little bigger. It’s all the more so because I can’t see the threads of 〈 Puppet 〉 thanks to the enchantment magic.
“Because the infrastructure is good. Trade cities are convenient for relics and research equipment.”
“Ah— So it was! For some reason, I thought there were a lot of smart-looking people coming to see the performances in a big port, so I skipped over it, but there was a reason for that♡!”
Lalilura counted her fingers. She seemed to be picking out the cities she had been to.
“Ah, here it is!”
Frank, who had been checking the road with the map in the first place, stopped. It was an inn that our Nunna had found in advance, but it was an inn that had connections with the archaeological community, so I was able to receive DC and use it.
【Welcome! Is it okay to have 1 pet in a party of 4?]
【Yes. Here’s your ID.]
When I went to the reception desk, a Germanian lady helped me check in with a businesslike smile.
Since everyone had their identities verified during the immigration process—with the exception of Veronica, a cat—Nunna Uri, an archeology doctor, signed as a representative.
【Pet… Pets…】
Veronica, who couldn’t even be included in the number of people, was greatly hurt and depressed when the word ‘pet’ followed by ‘livestock’. I comforted her by touching her behind the ear. Live strong as an animal.
“Senior~? I told you before I came, but I can’t speak Germanic either.”
Lingling, named Lari Lu, put her number 3.5 in her storage room and noticed me.
“I didn’t understand what you said when you booked the room~. Maybe I’m single here too? Are you in the pity of having to eavesdrop on the laughter of Lari Lura in the next room with her ears against the wall today?”
“I got a room for four. The bed is also a bunk bed, so there are two.”
“Hurray! As expected, our sunbae♡! It’s the best!!”
Lalilura who is happy and cheers. She gave the impression that Dana was dumbfounded.
“What? I got the room, but why is her husband’s bastard being praised?”
“Originally, the bear does tricks and the money comes from the bear.”
“Am I a bear? You crazy bear.”
“Nor. If that’s the case, it’s a complete pillar west.”
She was also comfortable unpacking her luggage as Lari Lura, who had escaped bullying anyway, energetically unpacked her luggage. It was a good inn for long-term stays, so we brought a lot of luggage.
“Okay, tidying up! I will go to work with my husband.”
“Already? Get some rest and then go.”
As Dana grabbed her travel pass, her francs pointed to the seat next to her.
But I shook her hand for Dana. It was a fact that she was tired from the boat trip, but Dana and I were both tired of her life confined to her room during the six days spent at sea.
“I’m going to come back late after I’ve been feeling cramped and getting some fresh air. I’m planning to return with a book before nightfall at the latest, so I’m not eating dinner. If you’re going to go get snacks, be careful and go together.”
I repeat, comrades in a foreign country are essential. Me and Dana became the investigation team, Fran, Lalilura, and Veronica became the housekeeping team. Larry Lura raised her tension, mimicking her learned salute to her crew.
“Aha♡! All right! I’m going to steal information from the first floor with my sisters! Don’t worry, I’ll come up to your room at night and play with Veronica.”
“Hmm? It’s larilu Do you like cats too?”
Veronica in cat mode asked as she lay on the bed. Larry Lura blinked her eyes.
“No, how far? I prefer baby elephants!”
“… It’s an elephant It is an unusual hobby.”
“I miss the baby elephant I used to work with♡!”
“… Well, it happened It was to develop curse resistance. Training… It’s all training… Ugh…”
I closed the door listening to Veronica’s groans, who had become a sandwich between a virgin and a married woman. Dana took a deep breath as if nervous.
Of course, I thought it was because I had to visit someone else’s university as the head of a research institute, but Dana calmed herself down with another world Ramaz breathing and crossed her arms around mine.
“… Sister, what are you doing?”
“Date.”
With the corner of her mouth twitching in her shame, she smiled awkwardly, and Dana let out a glee.
“Can I monopolize you sometimes?”
There’s nothing bad about it.
***
The fashion sense of this world sometimes rivals that of modern times.
The reason why I established this hypothesis today is that Dana’s fall fashion seemed to work well in Korea in the 21st century.
Skinny jeans and a black turtleneck knit, finally a coat!
For Dana, who is a bit tall and skinny, it was a suit that suited her like a tailor-made suit. It’s humiliating.
“Heh, heh. Huh.”
But would such a cold, city girl-like atmosphere have any meaning if the arms and legs went out together? Arm in arm with me, Dana started to walk like a broken nutcracker in the eyes of people.
Well, although the three of us have never had a decent date. I put the pod in Dana’s hand and put it in my pocket.
“What do you do? Shall we take a look around before dropping by the university?”
I asked Dana because she had something in mind about the date Dana brought up, but Dana giggled as if she was joking.
“The cub takes a break for a month or two and then falls out. Are you kidding from day one?”
“Not idle, but faithful to her husband’s duty. I’ve known you for four years, but today is the first time I walk around arm in arm with you.”
“Quit it. I’ll be here for a few weeks, so take it slow.”
“That’s right. If it was summer, I would have bathed in the sea.”
Even if it was a port, there was a beach at least. The problem is that it has come at the end of autumn. If you go into the sea in this weather, you will catch a cold and become a human shaved ice in an instant.
“It’s about splashing around with each other, we do a lot of shit in the bathroom.”
“It doesn’t taste good without a swimsuit.”
“A fucking pervert from one to ten.”
“There’s aesthetics in a coward, and there’s innocence in a macho too.”
Instead of waves in the sea, we went to college through crowds.
I went through the same process everywhere, authenticated my identity, and was guided to the library. Although Britannia was a weaker country than Germania, the prestige of Carmina University was that it did not yield to even the top universities in Germania.
【Thank you for the guidance. Work hard.】
Dana sent back the person who guided her in Germanic with a slightly awkward pronunciation. I stood at the entrance to the library and whistled at its enormity.
‘The amount of books is no less than that of Carmine University.’
The library even had a shoe cabinet with a lock. A large daejabo was visible from the entrance.
[Please change clothes so that the hallway does not get dirty. All the librarians.】
Is it because it’s annoying to clean? Archaeologists’ shoes are dirty with dirt. Dana must have found it too, so she picked up slippers from the shoe rack and handed them to me.
“Hey, here’s your foot size.”
“Uh? Ah oh. Here’s your sister’s.”
I also gave Dana the slippers I picked up. We noticed that each of us was looking for something to give to the other before putting on our own slippers.
“No, why didn’t you start looking for yours…”
I received the slippers and tried them on in a fish-eyed mood. I was beaten like a ghost on my feet.
Dana’s feet also fit like the slippers I gave her.
“… …”
“… …”
My husband and I exchanged glances as if we were looking at each other.
“Crazy guy. How do you know my foot size?”
“A sister like that. I remember it because I also took care of fixtures when I was a slave, but I don’t remember telling anyone my foot size.”
“… Fuck I don’t know Just go in.”
Dana ran away from her, hiding her face with her forearm.
Her coat fluttered in the wind, revealing her slender buttocks. Feeling my wife’s infinite love, I chased after Dana’s delicious bread.
Also, skinny jeans are the truth.
Dana. Pants suit you better than skirts…
