Chapter 543 – [God Is Watching!]
Again, here on the continent as well as in the Demon World, there is no caste system other than humans.
That’s why demons in the days of the mass market are strong when they go up in rank, and there are cases where they are like that, but it seems not here. Even if there is a representative existence called the Demon King, he is worshiped because he is strong, and there is no separate class system.
Thanks to this, other races form a tribal society, not a state, and in the past, it is said that there was a time when they were enslaved through slavery because they could not form a proper power.
However, the first king of a kingdom appeared at that time. He rose from slavery, gathered forces by shouting for the abolition of slavery, and rallied human slaves at the time, including heterogeneous slaves, to rebel.
And the rebellion became a revolution. The continent, which had no country except two empires, collapsed one empire due to the revolution.
…….Hmm, the first king of a kingdom is quite resourceful. I wonder what kind of guy he is. Should I buy a separate book?
Anyway, the area from the middle to the south of the continent was part of the territory of the fallen Holy Empire in the past. The Frontier Empire also gave away land in the eastern part of the continent where a kingdom is now located, and only after a kingdom was established, the revolution came to an end.
From the point of view of the empire, the past was a little disgraceful, but now historians say that it was a history to be ashamed of now that slavery was thought to be a barbaric system.
“Studying history is a lot of fun.”
From my point of view, it feels like reading a fantasy novel, so it’s quite fun. Looking at many histories, I think that there is no difference between where people live.
Anyway, the three countries coming this time. Urca Great Forest, Garuna Plateau, Han Kingdom. These three characteristics are:
First, the resident races of the Great Forest of Urca are mainly elves and fairies. It is a place where two species live in cooperation with each other. Basically, it is a matrilineal society, where one of the ten continental elves leads the way.
If it were human, I wonder if there would have been discrimination issues or something like that, but elves are not human. It is said that they coexist without any problem because it is reasonable.
The person visiting this time is the eldest daughter of such an elf chief. In other words, a candidate for the next chief.
If you’re a human, you’re the crown prince, or since you’re a woman, you’re the crown prince? He is an honored guest, roughly in that position.
“It’s kind of good for human circumstances, so etiquette works, but be careful if you make a mess of it because it’s pretty… No, it’s okay to use this so blatantly, what is it?”
Next is the Garuna Plateau. It is a place where the beastmen of various tribes live in the highlands by pastoralism. There are many beasts, but they have a common tendency not to stay in one place, so they are one of the races that are often seen in other regions besides Garuna and the Highlands.
Among the tribes, the warrior class has the most power, and among them, the beast tribe, called the Great Warrior, has the command authority over the entire tribe, so it is practically no different than a king.
However, it is difficult to connect, it is belligerent, and its tactics are biased. These are the guys whose status is biased to one side.
In addition, the infrastructure is not developed, so we are dependent on imports for this and that. Of course, what they sell there is mainly meat. Garuna highland meat is very delicious.
“Basically, because of Suin’s unique personality, he is honest and has no pretense.
One last kingdom.
It is a country founded by the first king of a kingdom from slaves who led the revolution. After the revolution, it was established by ceding the eastern part of the continent from the Korean Empire.
At first, there were many twists and turns because it was built by a person from slavery, but now it has become an influential nation on the continent enough to blow the head of the guy who said that.
The main export is sugar. Sugarcane can be grown in an empire, but it is expensive to buy because it does not produce the same quality as one kingdom. However, the quality of salt in the empire is higher, so it is rather exported.
Necessities on one side, luxury items on the other, a delicate balance is maintained and exchanges are taking place. It’s going to be a mess if you stray a little, but it’s still ok.
“Well, I roughly memorized this, so it’s okay. The problem is that there’s still plenty of time.”
“Then why study a little more?”
“Heroes don’t study!”
“Even a hero must study to become a great person in the future!!!”
To be honest, it’s true, but there’s no benefit to studying like that. I’d rather study history.
Because I am a reincarnated person, or rather, a reincarnated person, the importance of knowledge cannot be denied. However, the importance of that knowledge is inevitably different, and there is knowledge that benefits me as a reincarnated person even if I remember it, and knowledge that does not.
And the reaction or personality between people is not knowledge, but something to be judged by actually experiencing it.
“Let’s go secretly for a while. I’ve been in the palace lately, so I need a change of mood.”
“Yes?!”
“It’s because I want to hear what my evaluation is like. I’ve been messing around with the empress in my own way. Should I curse or praise?”
Surprisingly, public support is an important law even in a social caste system. Even if it is not to the extent of a democratic society where people’s support is power, if you do not win public support to some extent, even the lord will find it hard to live.
The original job of a lord is to collect taxes instead of guaranteeing the protection of the land by being entrusted with power by the king. If there is no support from the people, it will be difficult to collect taxes.
Besides, since there are no slaves here, there are no serfs, so there is also the freedom of commoners before their residence. It means that if you act like a dick, move to the next town and that’s it.
“Come to think of it, I haven’t even thought about the future yet. What should I do?”
“Well, since I don’t know Your Highness’ intentions, I can’t answer hastily either.”
“Would you like to receive a domain and even become a duke?”
“Ah”
It is rare for a male brother who is not the emperor to survive in the original imperial family.
The female siblings are used for marriage and blood ties, and the male siblings are killed in consideration of future repercussions because they have the right to succeed no matter how concubine they are. However, if neither of the two leading emperor candidates intend to kill me, and there is no one who can try to kill me in the present situation… It is better to think about the future.
I’ve played SimCity in my previous life, so I’m not very reluctant to run the estate, but I’ll try it if I’m given a position as the king.
I finished preparing to leave and left the palace. I don’t know if it was before, but since he’s an important person now, there were knights who wanted to serve as escorts…
“It’s better to have a knight with you for safety…”
“Will the knight be stronger, or will I be stronger? Rather, wouldn’t it be safer to stand out like that?”
“Ah, that’s right”
Hans, the soldier commander of the Emerald Palace, and his soldiers stand guard over the Emerald Palace, not my personal escort. I would say the difference between the royal guard and the royal guard.
It sounds like a similar word, but the guards are personal escorts, and the guards have a military feel. The former is a bodyguard, while the latter is a private soldier.
“We don’t have a separate intelligence organization, and there’s no one to cover up, so if you leave, rumors will spread quickly and someone with quick feet will approach you.”
“It’s okay. I won’t be around for long anyway.”
The situation is different from before. It would have been better if he was a prince just by name, but he became famous for no reason and it’s a mess.
In any case, the main purpose of this outing was inspection without any particular purpose. I plan to look around the market and watch the lives of ordinary people without visiting a separate place.
I originally belonged to a commoner rather than an imperial family, and since Leticia was also a commoner, it wouldn’t be too difficult to hide her true identity.
“What, it’s like a date.”
“Isn’t that something you have to do with the lady of Count Bistra?”
“If you don’t like it, I’ll bring an attendant separately, don’t you like it?”
“You’ve already left the palace, isn’t it too late to bring someone else?”
“What are you going to say?”
On the outside, no matter how well they hit, they are at the level of siblings who went out with her brother. With a body that has not yet undergone secondary sexual characteristics, it is not too big to compare with a normal adult woman.
Perhaps Shion will say he likes it and attack, but… The important thing is not size, but technique, so there’s no problem!
“For now, they’re selling red bean bread to the street vendors in the market, so let’s go take a look.”
“I know business has been going pretty well.”
What is important is market research. The recipe I sprinkled is just something that seems to work, and the dishes and ingredients that are not here should be judged based on the reaction of the locals.
Actually, it should have been done a long time ago, but it was rather late. Hmmm…… Shall we make a restaurant that serves test dishes separately from the third royal? I don’t think it’s bad.
“Oh! Is this the market!”
Mayor of the capital. It is not a place used by nobles, but a crowded place used by the common people.
I have seen many markets in many worlds, but each place is new. Various smells are mixed together with the loud sound.
It’s nice to be crowded like this, but it’s nice to see the types and numbers of products. It’s because you can understand the level here.
“Ah, there’s also fish. Being able to sell fresh fish in a market like this in the inland capital is a good thing, but it’s a bit unexpected.”
“If you’re a decent upperclassman, you’ll have a self-fancy that allows you to store groceries for a long time. Or, a special fancier might build a caravan with his own fancy.”
Here, there is no particular sense of superiority or discrimination as a fancier. Hagisa, if there was such a thing, you wouldn’t be able to awaken your fantasy.
Like [The Pride of an Insignificant Coachman] I saw before, even people with imagination abilities did things like a coachman. In the end, it gave birth to the result of realizing self-fantasy into a carriage. That’s why there is a difference between a fancier and a professional noble.
Is it natural that results come out according to a sense of purpose, not individual skills or talents? It’s a skill I really like.
“I know that our street vendors were around here…”
“Isn’t that it? Standing in line over there”
“…The line is quite long.”
“I’m happy to see you’re doing well.”
Absorb-Family.
At the red bean bread vendor, which was located in a good spot, cooks with the faces you saw in the Emerald Palace were busy selling bread.
Pour the batter on a hot iron plate and cook it, then roll the cooked pancakes off the plate and cool them down for a while, then add red bean paste and cover to finish. It seems that he has gotten used to it, and his skillful movements stand out.
There were countless people in line in front of him, but at a glance, it looked like there were close to 20 people.
“Is this the snack that the 3rd prince said came out of the palace?”
“It’s sweeter than just a pancake, so it’s good for a casual meal, right? It’s delicious, too.”
“Aristocrats eat at street vendors like this?”
“I heard that they are not selling even to nobles yet?
“My family bought one of these, so I really liked it so I came to buy another one. But there are more people than last time.”
“You should be lucky at least. I ran out of ingredients the other day so I couldn’t buy them.”
“The black stuff in this is delicious. It’s sweet and goes well with pancakes!”
“Hmm, I don’t like it because it’s a bit sticky and sticks to my teeth…”
Every time I hear people’s reactions, my heart is satisfied. It’s not that there are only good reactions, but it’s not like you can’t be full on the first drink.
Besides, people’s tastes are different. If you don’t like it, don’t eat it. Everyone deserves to eat delicious food, but on the contrary, everyone has the right to refuse bad food.
It’s not my taste to force-feed food I don’t like. However, what I want to see is the preference of the absolute majority. Like mint chocolate or pineapple pizza, I just want to figure it out, as if there is a firm fan base even if people like or dislike it.
“Shall we wait a minute and eat one?”
“It’s going to take some time. Will you be okay?”
“It won’t take too long. And things like this are worth the wait.”
Hmmm… It’s like that. Things like deli manju and walnut snacks at rest areas.
What? Come to think of it, can’t you make both? Since the content of Deli Manjuya is custard, it was originally possible to make it, and walnut snacks can be used to make red bean paste, so you just need to get walnuts.
The feeling of eating a cup of milk with warm walnut cookies! Big! Kill Carbohydrates!
“The business is doing well, but seeing as there are no fly flies, I must have sold my name.”
“Yes, even in a place like this, there are ruffians who try to collect the rent.
“Besides, my name value is the highest right now.”
My dog chaban personality, armed force, position of the royal family. Thanks to this, I have a greater position than any nobleman or continental 10. Among the 10 continents among the races and humans, I think there is probably no one with better conditions than me.
At least there are some people who are higher than me in terms of social status… To be honest, from the point of view of someone who can kill them all, that’s it.
“Hey, I’m sorry. Is this the end of the line at that street vendor?”
“Ah, yes. That’s right… Huh?”
Someone lined up behind us to answer our questions. At the same time, we had no choice but to face each other, and I felt a sense of deja vu from the man standing in line there.
Where did you see this man, where did you see him?
Not too old, but not too recent. Even if I couldn’t do it, every few months… And that reminded me of that stood out.
The outfit he wore was the one worn by the Institute of Science and Technology staff. In addition, the name tag is also stuck, so even if you deny that it is not, you cannot deny it.
“……Have you seen it anywhere before?”
“Well”
“You were at our lab during the previous explosion…!!!!!”
Things are different now and then. A me with only the name of a prince, and a me with a force equivalent to that of the Ten Continents. The other person’s curiosity is also curiosity, but it’s enough to look like madness at first glance.
But most of that madness is curiosity. There is no malice or hostility, so it is only a driving force for human development.
“Kuhmm, I really didn’t expect to meet you in a place like this, I…”
“Okay, that’s it”
I shut his mouth for once. I don’t see anything good when the word ‘highness’ is mentioned here.
Once we moved, I thought we should talk separately. It’s a bit reluctant, but there’s a good chance that the other side won’t let go until we talk.
Threat? Appeasement? This type of person does not turn around even if they search immediately if they do not achieve their goal. I know it well because I’ve been through it.
But not bad. Because such a person develops and leads the world.
However, just in case, I tried to express a slight rejection.
“Working at a research institute would be busy, but I don’t know if I don’t have time for this.”
“You can leave the chores to the research assistants!”
No! A graduate student here too… I can’t believe there’s someone who was hanged!!!!
