I Was Reincarnated as a Commoner. I Can’t Stand Living Like This, so I’ll Become an Aristocrat!

Volume 1-: Children of the Commoners

Chapter 45-: Preparation for the Trip

(TL By GUST)

It was the day to go to the Duke's house.

　Roger picked me up in a carriage and I was in the duke's carriage to the mansion.

　After all, the ride quality is different from that of a horse-drawn carriage. This soft chair absorbs the shock. You can ride comfortably without hurting your hips. But the place where it shakes is the same.

　Can you somehow improve the carriage? I feel like I'll be able to do something with magical tools, but ... well, do you think if you have time?

　With that in mind, I immediately arrived at the Duke's mansion. I'm taken by Roger and guided to my usual room.

"Leon, I've already put all the clothes I ordered from the tailor and everything else I think I need in my baggage, so I'm ready to go. Please take your time today."

　Are you ready now? I'm grateful because I don't know what to bring.

　Speaking of which, where is the Duchy? I've never seen a map of this world in the first place. I'm going by carriage, but how long will it take?

"Thank you. I'm sorry, but do you know where the Duchy is? I haven't seen a map of this country, so I'm not sure."

"I've heard that it takes about three days by carriage to reach the Duchy's capital. However, the map is confidential and cannot be shown to anyone without the permission of the master."

　By the way, I've heard that maps are military secrets on Earth. Can you show me that?

"However, Leon may get permission. Today, my husband is in the mansion, so why don't you ask if you can borrow a map?"

"Really !? Then can you ask me?"

"I'm clever. Please wait a moment."

　Roger said so and left the room.

　I want permission! I've always wanted to see a map of this country. I don't even know where this country is or where the royal capital is. If you can see a map of this world, I would love to see it. Is this a big continent?　

　

　When I was excited and waited for a while, Roger brought me two large pieces of rolled paper.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I got permission from my husband, so I brought both a map that includes neighboring countries and a map that is only for this country."

　Did you get permission! I'm very grateful. You trust me quite a bit. I will do my best for the Duke's family so as not to betray my trust.

　While I was thinking about that, Roger spread the map on my desk.

"This is a map that includes neighboring countries. This country, the Kingdom of Las Lasia, is here."

　Roger first showed me a map of this world.

　As far as the map shows, there is only one continent, and it seems that the Kingdom of Larsrasia is located in the lower left of that continent.

　The south and west of the country face the sea, and there are many countries on the north side. This country seems to be the biggest power, and it is long from side to side.

　On the eastern side of the country, there is a large forest, and it is not stated whether it is unknown or not. This is probably a monster forest. The eastern side of this continent seems to be a forest of monsters as a whole, and beyond that is not marked.

　You may not even know how long the monster forest has already continued.

　Even so, when I look at it again like this, it's not really the earth. I thought so strangely for some reason. Is it because I often saw the world map in Japan?

　With that in mind, Roger also expanded the map of this country.

"And here is a map of this country. The royal capital is here and the Duchy is in this range."

　The map of this country was written in a little more detail than the map of the world. The royal capital seems to be a little southwest of the center of the country.

　The Duchy was a vast territory facing the sea, southeast of the royal capital. It seems that the territory is also near the sea.

　Maybe you can eat seafood too! !! In this world, I ate a little river fish and almost only meat. I'm looking forward to going.

"Have Roger ever been outside the royal capital?"

"No, I was born and raised in the royal capital and have never left this city. I am very grateful to be able to accompany Leon to the Duchy."

　Roger said so and relaxed his face a little. Oh! I'm really looking forward to Roger making such a face.

　I wish I could get along on this trip. It will be a long relationship after this.

"I want to see the sea"

"Yes! Oh, I'm sorry. I'm certainly interested ..."

　Roger seems to have answered reflexively, and he is repairing it in a hurry, but it seems that the usual iron mask has collapsed and he is in a hurry. Are you looking forward to the sea so much?

　I laughed unintentionally.

"Huh ... I'll ask you to see it."

"Yes, thank you"

　Roger replied with a slight red face. I hope I get used to it and get ready for it.

　It's stiff because I don't like it.

　After that, it was time to take a leisurely cup of tea and get a map in mind.

　Then around the evening. I got ready and went to the cafeteria and now I'm having dinner with the dukes.

　Richard, Catherine and Frederick are together today.

"Leon, I'll be out early in the morning tomorrow, so take a good rest today."

"Yes. Thank you. Who is going to the Duchy?"

　I haven't heard who will go with me yet.

"Oh, didn't you say that? I, Catherine, and Frederick are supposed to go to the Duchy."

"That's right, but is your job okay?"

　I was wondering if Richard and Frederick would only go to Catherine because they couldn't take time off from work.

"Work is okay. In this country, you can take a long vacation to return to the territory. You should be okay without me for a while."

"There is such a convenient system, isn't it?"

"Oh, knights also have that system, so I can go with them this time. Well, it's also an escort."

　Frederick said so. Is escort dangerous along the way? I inadvertently stuck the meat in the fork and it got stuck.

"Is there anything dangerous?"

"No, almost none. Just in case."

　That's right, that was good. I ate the meat with confidence. Mogumogu ………… It ’s delicious.

"You're going to pick up Lucian in the territory, right? Do you have any other plans?"

"No, I have no special plans. I just want to show Leon the territory. Is there any place I want to go?"

　Will you take me to where I want to go! ?? Then my answer is an option.

"I want to go to a city with the sea. I'm also interested in seafood."

"Then, let's go there because there is a port town near the territory. The food is very delicious because there are fresh seafood in that city. I like it too."

"Are you going to that city? I'm looking forward to it. The food is very delicious."

　Do you like Catherine too! Don't raise expectations.

　Delicious seafood is the best!

　Or will it be possible to eat seafood in the royal capital if ice machines become 

widespread? Even if it's pickled in ice, will it be useless after many days?　

　No, it would be fine if it was pickled in ice. I'm looking forward!

　First of all, it's a genuine seafood. I remembered the seafood barbecue, and I almost drooled.

　Dangerous dangerous. When I come up with it, I don't have a sharp edge, so for the time being, I'll keep a lot of delicious dishes in the corner of my head.

"I'm really looking forward to having such delicious food."

"Oh, look forward to it."

　Then the supper with a peaceful mood was over. Then, on that day, I went to bed early and fell asleep early.
