Chapter 171
Year 7444, Month 12, Day 28
We finish up making deliveries and it was when we were taking measurements for next time. When I returned from the inner citadel to a room in the outer citadel where the measurements were being done the squires of Bakuddo were politely taking measurements of the sizes of people from the knight group. Reynolds was helping Rozural with the male knights and Jamie was helping Wendy with the female knights measurements. Sean was writing down the sizes Rozural and Wendy spoke out while sister-in-law Shani was smiling and overseeing that.
Miduchi seemed bored on her own but from a slight distance away she was restlessly looking around the castle with interest. When I went to Miduchi's side she started talking to me.
"Hey, this place is amazing..It's even larger than the largest lobby in Lail's royal palace and the ceiling is reasonably high as well..It really has the feeling of a castle.."
What is she saying? While I'm confused since I heard something strange she continued talking.
"Really~ Rombert's castle is amazing. The roof is gilded as well and there was some castle towers as well, this is the "outer citadel" right? It's really big and the inside is extravagant as well.."
"That is, since it seems Rombert has the highest national power around this area after all..I'm sure they would make the castle huge. I don't know about other countries but I'm sure they aren't as big as here..Most likely it's on the level of "Osaka Castle" or "Edo Castle"."
"Ah, if you put it like that..if I remember correctly Osaka Castle had gold leaf used for it's roof tiles at first as well..Did you already know?"
"Yeah, I've heard about it. I thought the same thing the first time I saw it."
It seems the measurements are almost over. The only one remaining for measurements is the Wolf-people of the second knight group, Viscount Rakkusu. I can't afford to be standing around here. I get Miduchi to help me out as we count the money. I pay sister-in-law Shani the cost of the rubber protectors and then sign the proof of sales before handing it over.
We were able to finish up the deliveries without problem and able to take orders for next time as well. After this we just need to return to the company once more and fill the empty carriages with the provisions and military supplies I had prepared in advance and we're done.
...............
"Then, sister-in-law. I'm praying for your fortune on the battlefield."
"Thanks. Miduchi-san, please take good care of Al."
"..Wa, yes!!"
After all the provisions, spare underwear and such, and military supplies were packed away sister-in-law and the other four in total from Bakuddo village's Dirt Plains dispatch task force departed the capital of Rombertia.
After I went to the government office to finish paying the luxury tax and then returned to the company again, I started organizing the stock that sister-in-law and the others carried in last night in the back yard. It seems that Dianne has recovered quite a bit as well and wanted to help me out but I just used the spell {Cure All} on her in exchange for her feelings and chased her back up to the second floor before taking care of the job with Yotlen and Miduchi.
