52. A shabby person in a noble place
Of course we promised to help Alud, but we didn’t have to do anything right away. Whether it’s a hero’s support or a family symbol, it’s only at the decisive moment that you exert your power.
But you never know when that decisive moment will come. For the time being, I had no choice but to stay near Hair, so time flew by.
[Are you going to stay at home?]
“The futon, outside, is dangerous.”
And it seemed that our hero would stay still during that time. In the comfort and comfort of a privileged room in an adventurer’s inn that had been upgraded to a gold grade.
No, it’s expensive. It’s a waste of money! Of course, no matter how affluent and wealthy Cream is as the owner of an ice firm, my adventurous spirit can’t stand such luxury.
Of course, I was just an unemployed person in modern times, but this place is a different world! A world where magic and dragons exist, and a new adventure unfolds with every step.
[So let’s go!]
Of course, if you get caught up in the wrong adventure, you will die. I am the sword, and Cream is the warrior. Who the hell could threaten us?
“Like last time, again, strange, thing.”
[No, nothing happened in the end! And I’m not trying to go far.]
Apparently, Cream seemed greatly intimidated when he faced a situation he couldn’t intervene. However, I, the party, said it was okay! More than anything, I am very bored right now.
I’m not asking you to explore a dungeon where an ancient demon is sealed, I’m just going to take a look around the busy streets of a city that I haven’t seen properly.
Unless a ninja suddenly pops out and annihilates them all, the only thing that will happen in the downtown area is a couple breaking up during a date or a public confession and then being brutally kicked out.
[Die, Couple.]
Of course, that example is by no means an experiential story. Never! I am Mosol. He had never really played with her female friends, let alone dated.
“Do you want to go out?”
I don’t know why, but Cream asked me a question carefully, as if he had changed his mind. I expressed my joy with an invisible but vigorous nod.
[Let’s go! Let’s go!]
“Haam, bother.”
When the start was confirmed due to the atmosphere, Choco, who had been lying on the bed like cream, stretched out and woke up. Cream spread his palm toward the chocolate.
“Sit down, wait.”
“Huh?”
“You don’t have to go together. Here it is.”
Choco’s expression hardened at Cream’s ruthless refusal. Soon, the guy showed amazing speed and clung to Cream’s ankle, and started to use herd.
“Master! What did i do wrong Don’t abandon me!”
“Oh, no. That’s not it.”
How embarrassed Cream stuttered her. Cream pushed Choco’s forehead, which was clinging to her, and sighed.
“Alone, time, I need it. Rest here.”
“Hey, okay…”
“Get this too.”
Cream’s tone was so determined that Choco quietly followed her words even though she pouted. Cream, who lightly stroked Choco’s hair, handed her chin something.
That’s right…
[Me too?]
“Alone, time.”
It was a holy sword.
Didn’t Cream hate having his hands touched? Even if Choco tried to touch me right away, I used to spray her eyes so much that I would faint.
Choco bewilderedly accepted her holy sword. In the meantime, Cream, who had adjusted her clothes, naturally kicked me around the waist and went out the door.
“I’ll be back.”
“Wait, it’s time to be alone. Why are you taking that sword?”
Crim slammed the door without answering.

“So, where are we going?”
[Did it really come out without any countermeasures…]
I thought I had a place I wanted to go because I suddenly agreed to go outside. As I spoke in a pitiful tone, the cream begged me so that it wouldn’t hurt.
“You said let’s go out.”
[Ouch, I get it. Hmm. Well, wouldn’t there be something in downtown?]
There were quite a few things to enjoy in the downtown area of the other world, if not as much as the modern downtown area. Even if the development of technology is slow, there are all kinds of different abilities in this world.
The three main powers of martial arts, magic, and faith, and all kinds of unique powers represented by characteristics. Of course, not all of them were useful in battle.
However, if you have a power different from others and a uniqueness, that alone will open up a way for you to live.
“Now, now. Go see it once!”
“This is not an opportunity that comes every day! Courage Theater Company, finally opening for the first time today!”
As the interests of wealthy commoners, poor nobles, and halfway talented people aligned, such downtowns were created one by one in the city.
A street created solely for the purpose of entertainment. The solicitors use evil, and even in broad daylight, all kinds of bright lights are hung in each store and shine. Just to catch the footsteps of the audience.
It was difficult to distinguish between commoners and nobles because all the citizens who came and went had bright faces and extravagant clothes. Between the busy footsteps, small and cheerful footsteps form an off-beat.
An elderly gentleman catches the pickpocket, but she is pushed from behind by another child. The pickpockets quickly steal the hats and run away, and giggles soar like birds into the blue sky.
[It’s a memory.]
Looking at it, I was soaked in the faint scenery. Hundreds of years have passed, but this world has not changed amazingly.
When I was an adventurer in my lifetime, I used to visit places like this with my friends. However, it has been a long time since I came to such a ‘bright place’ after becoming a demonic sword.
Because most owners of demonic swords have desperate and bloody circumstances, and from the moment they grabbed me, they could no longer lead their daily lives. Even these times were extravagant.
[Come to think of it, have you ever been to a place like this?]
“At the store, when buying, sometimes. Not much, no fun.”
Well, Crim’s Company is richer than most nobles. However, contrary to the words that it was not fun, Cream’s steps into the downtown area were light.
[If you don’t have a place you really want to go, let’s go around lightly.]
“Yes.”
I didn’t have a specific plan, but just enjoying my free time like this was fun. Yeah, I’ve had this happen before. I bought some chicken skewers with my colleagues and ate them…
Now that I think about it, they must all be dead. Well, it was close, but it was just a relationship in the past. I was swaying lazily with Cream’s movements, lost in her thoughts, when suddenly she stopped her steps.
[Hmm?]
“Two, please.”
I thought you could say something respectful! No, this is not it. The place where Cream stopped was in front of a stall selling yakitori.
Of course, it wasn’t an ordinary stall, but the vendor selling yakitori was performing tricks with fire blowing from his mouth. Because the firepower was weak, I didn’t think I could burn the sauce on it, let alone the chicken skewers, but it was an eye candy.
“Come on.”
[Hmm?]
Cream bit off one of them and thrust the other into me. No, I’m a sword first. Above all, it’s in the scabbard now.
[No, don’t pick that up!]
I can’t eat it anyway. Besides, if you pull out a real sword out of nowhere on the street, people around you will really like it. Well, it might seem strange that I care about the people around me.
I want to enjoy this energetic atmosphere, at least for now. Could this be the nostalgia of human days?
[I can’t eat it anyway, so put it in.]
Cream sighed and devoured the two chicken skewers. Did you really buy it to eat me? Ay, no matter how stupid Cream could be. Ouch.
[Why hit me!]
“Huh.”

Cream tossed the two skewers on the floor and walked away. Anyway, at the level of another world, the streets were already full of trash and filth thrown away by everyone other than Cream.
This is why real nobles don’t visit this place. It’s because I don’t like to fight with lowly commoners, and the environment is dirty. Real artists have already entered the aristocracy.
In the end, both those who enjoy this place and those who make it are chaff. Oh, except for us, of course.
“Over there.”
[Let’s see, a fortune teller? Were you interested in that?]
No matter how much a seat makes a person, at least for us, a person makes a place. If we were to enter such a shabby tent… Huh?
It’s really different here. The moment I walked through the tent and went inside, the chatter from outside disappeared in an instant. Inside the tent it was quiet and dark.
Even in broad daylight, not a single light leaked in, and only the soft light of the crystal ball illuminated the tent. At the end of it sat an old woman wearing a black robe reminiscent of a shroud.
“You have a special guest. Even two of them.”
Most of the face is covered by the cast shadow. But I didn’t miss the golden eyes shining in the shadows.
The tip of her gaze was exactly at Cream’s waist, towards me.
“Now, the guests must have come to reveal the tail of fate, right? Just in time, this old man’s small talents matched well.”
As the old woman closed and opened her empty hand, as if by magic, a card was drawn out of it. Spreading it out on the table, the old woman continued.
“Fortune luck, wealth luck, love luck. Which would you like to see?”
No, this feels kind of strong. However, Cream said in a calm voice.
“All.”
