Otherworld Dagashi Shop Yahagi

Chapter 105: Residence Change Greetings

It’s been two weeks since we moved here, and the pioneering of Luganda has been going well.

The dungeon has been conquered up to the 2nd Underground Floor, and recently, some teams have begun to challenge the 3rd Underground Floor.

The amount of magic stones collected has also increased accordingly.

Also, new pioneers sent by Baron Essel have arrived.

Most of them are the third or fourth sons of farmers, who have no land to inherit from their parents.

They came to Luganda because they heard that they would be given free land and even livestock.

We immediately asked those farmers to take care of the cows and chickens, so our supply of milk and eggs has become somewhat stable.

Roads and other facilities are gradually being built, and the appearance of the neighborhood is being improved.

Surprisingly, Titti has been working hard and helping us with her magic.

She is currently working hard with Michelle to build a defensive wall to protect our settlement, even though she’s grumbling complaints about it.

Everything seems to be going well in the pioneering project, but there is still one problem.

Food.

Most of the residents are young adventurers, so they all eat a lot.

We had expected our stock of wheat to last for 4 weeks, but we are about to run out.

At breakfast, Michelle and I discussed our plans for the day.

[It would be bad if the situation continues as is, so I’m going to go shopping.]

[Then, I’ll go with you! It’s been a while since it had just been the two of us.]

My Dagashi Shop, which also serves as the Lord’s Manor, sees a lot of visitors.

Because I also need to prepare a room where Nakaram-san can perform his duties, the time I can spend alone with Michelle has become limited.

We had been working all day, so it would be a nice change of pace to go shopping in a neighboring town.

[Let’s go to Betzel Town then.]

Betzel is a town about 15 kilometers from Luganda.

It’s a big town, so we will have no trouble shopping there.

[However, are you good with money? If you want, I can put down my money, you know?]

Michelle, being a Grand Mage, is very rich.

However, I’m not gonna be her sponger.

[Thanks to everyone’s hard work, we have a lot of magic stones. If they buy our stock, I won’t have any trouble purchasing items. Also, since I haven’t done our greetings after moving to Luganda yet, I should also pay a visit to Lord Betzel’s place. I’ll introduce Michelle as well. As my fiancee.]

Yes, we were finally engaged.

[Yuusuke~~!]

Michelle, rubbing her face against my chest like a cat, was so cute.

To get to Betzel, we used horses.

My shop could be used as a dimensional storage, so it was easy to transport our luggage.

Michelle insisted on the two of us riding together, but I felt sorry for the horse, so I asked her to give that up.

[Even so, the road sure is terrible. With it being like this, circulation of goods won’t become prosperous.]

[Right. We have to widen the road, little by little.]

Along the way, Michelle used Wind Cutter to clear away overhanging branches and underbrush.

That alone made it much easier for us to walk through here.

We will have to do some expansion work soon to make it easier for people to come and go.

After about an hour and a half, we arrived at Betzel.

It’s a magnificent town surrounded by stone walls, with a population of about 4000 people.

[Let’s go greet the lord of the town first. Perhaps he can introduce us to a merchant who sells food.]

Lining up our reins, we proceeded to the center of the town.

Leymus-san, the lord of Betzel, whom I met, was a gentleman of about 40 years old.

He had a large belly and looked like a pretty laid-back fellow.

His wife is also a chubby and kind person, and she was happy to see me and Michelle-san.

Leymus-san’s family has been the lords of this town for generations.

[Thank you for coming, Yahagi-san. Come on, please sit down. I will bring you some cold cream.]

I gave him a bottle of wine I had bought in the Royal Capital as a souvenir, and they were delighted.

[This is much appreciated. Wine becomes a precious commodity when it comes far away from the Royal Capital, you know?]

This area was apparently too cold to grow grapes in.

Instead, they are famous for their apples, which they often use to make cider wine.

[Hansel, Gretel, you two, say hello to Yahagi-san.]

Leymus-san introduced me to his children.

The older brother Hansel-kun is 10 years old and the younger sister Gretel-san is 8 years old.

[Hello, Yahagi-san.]

[Good day to you.]

As social interaction is highly valued in aristocracy, even though they were still young, the children were able to give their greetings properly.

They were both so docile and cute.

[Hello. I have a present for you both, Hansel-kun, Gretel-san.]

I took out the Mobile Forces Gungalf and Gyan and handed it to them.

[Thank you very much. However, what is this?]

[It’s a toy that’s very popular in the Royal Capital.]

After explaining about the Mobile Force, the children immediately started assembling it.

Mobile Force is still growing in popularity in the Royal Capital.

With us migrating to Luganda, my promise to Baron Essel changed to me sending 200 boxes of these to his place a month.

[When you are finished, have the machine touch your forehead.]

Michelle was teaching the children how to operate the MF.

As a former teacher at the Magic Academy and the 1st Tournament’s Champion, they are in reliable hands.

The children cheered as their Mobile Force began to move.

[It’s moving! My Gangulf is moving!]

[My Gyan is moving too!]

The children were so excited to see their puppets move with their own power.

Leymus-san also looked very interested.

[That is the Mobile Force I’ve heard so much about huh. I heard that there was a tournament held for it in the Capital?]

[Leymus-san also heard about it huh.]

[I’ve heard rumors about it, but this is the first time I’ve actually seen one. It’s really interesting!]

The children adapted quickly and are already playing with each other, doing what looked like sumo wrestling.

[Just playing with them like that is a great way to train in magic. There are a number of people who, by using Mobile Force, have learned to use new magic.]

A prime example of this is Regal.

Regal was able to use Fire Magic thanks to practicing with Mobile Force.

[That’s amazing. Hey, let Dad try it out a bit.]

[Mom would like to try it out too.]

Leymus-san and his wife borrowed their children’s Mobile Force and started playing with it.

[This is quite……]

[Darling, want to have a match?]

This time, Leymus-san and his wife became fascinated with the Mobile Force.

Hansel-kun and Gretel-san waited quietly at first, but they got impatient when their parents wouldn’t stop playing on their own.

[Dad, give me back my Gungalf!]

[My Gyan……]

[Just wait a minute there. Oops!]

[Yes, we’re in the middle of something. Urya!]

Hmmm, Leymus-san and his wife seem to have gotten deeply hooked on Mobile Force.

It can’t be helped. I’ll just give them a Gufufu and a Zako as well.
