Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 323 Education

It was already mid morning when we set off, so there were quite a few people that were on the streets as we headed out.

With people on the streets like this, I was able to fully see the results of Rose's efforts in raising this town.

When they saw that it was my carriage that passed, many people gathered and cheered. There were many children that also came to watch as we set off.

Seeing them like this, I looked out and waved at them to receive a happy cheer.

In this world, children should have been working on their parents' farms or doing other work, so they weren't as free as in my previous world.

But I had changed that with my school plan.

I knew that knowledge was the best way to pave the future, so I had proposed this plan to Rose back then when we first took over this town.

Now the kids were allowed to go to school and learn what they needed for the future.

Of course to get the parents on board, we had made all of this free of charge and we even offered them a free meal.

With this, we were able to get most of the kids in the town to come to school.

Of course there were some that were just too old, which was a pity. I had other plans for them, along with the adults of our territory.

There were also some that held out against free education for personal reasons, but we were working on measures for that as well.

Though most kids only started school in the middle of the day for the free lunch and then studied in the afternoon, this was still better than nothing. Especially since we couldn't make them come early since they had chores that they still had to take care of.

Just getting them in class for half a day was already enough.

It was also why they were here on the streets now as they were heading to school.

I really had big visions for this territory of mine and it would all start with these kids.

I hoped that they would all grow up well when the time came.

But after going through the town, we had properly set off on the road.

There really wasn't much to do while traveling, so I took this time to take a nap.

But as I went to lie down with both Cecilia and Haley, we received a few strange looks from both Veronica and Moon.

With the way that they were looking at me, it was almost as if they were suspecting me of something.

As far as I could remember, I didn't seem to do anything that warranted this kind of suspicion.

However, that wasn't the worst glance that I got.

The one that hurt more was the understanding look from Shaka.

It was as if he understood what I had been through, which just made it embarrassing for me.

It was fine if they didn't know, but if they knew…then it was awkward.

After all, we were doing that the night before a big trip and now we were resting in the carriage…

That was just very awkward!

Still, the trip went off without a hitch.

It took several days of traveling before reaching the border and then, it took several more days of traveling before reaching the Dwarven Kingdom.

Unlike the elves that only had a single capital, the dwarves had gathered together and created a large kingdom that could rival the human kingdoms.

So in addition to needing ores and crafted items from them, the humans were cautious about fighting the dwarves because of their kingdom.

Though if several human kingdoms worked together, the dwarves wouldn't have been able to stand a chance.

This was a problem of quality vs quantity.

Once they reached the borders of the Dwarven Kingdom, they were easily allowed to pass.

In fact, there were quite a few humans that were traveling across the border of the Dwarven Kingdom.

They didn't seem to have a problem entering the Dwarven Kingdom, but that wasn't surprising at all.

There was a zone right by the border that the dwarves had built to handle the humans that came to visit.

It was in this zone that humans were able to move freely.

Beyond that zone…that was the land of the dwarves and a place that humans weren't able to set foot in easily.

That was where we were planning on going since it was only there that we would be able to meet Rondo's family.

When we arrived at the gate, the guards were surprised to see that there was a dwarf with us.

Haley had made sure that Rondo's carriage arrived along with our carriage so that the guards could see that Rondo was with us.

At first, the guards were curious why Rondo was with us, but they immediately stopped asking questions once he showed them his token.

This was the token of the Silvermine Family, one of the great families of the Dwarven Kingdom.

In human society, this would be equal to a noble of the highest ranking.

With the status that the Silvermine Family had in the Dwarven Kingdom, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to compare them to a human duke.

So once this token came out, they were immediately let into the Dwarven Kingdom.

However, that wasn't where the problem started.

The real problem came when they wanted to enter the real Dwarven Kingdom, not just the part that was set aside for the human visitors.

On the other side of the human welcoming zone, there was another border that was much more strictly guarded.

It was clear that this was the real border of the Dwarven Kingdom.

This time, even with the influence of Rondo and the Silvermine Family, they were stopped and kept out.

We were detained and then there was an important dwarf that came to meet me and Rondo who were waiting in this room.
