After being transferred to another world I became a magical - 98 Episode 97 Cards and Fruits

The town of Khazaneeq was quite busy.

However, most of the vehicles on the road were wagons, and there didn’t seem to be many adventurers.

I wonder if adventurers don’t travel much even though trade is active.

First, the …… guild.

From the bundle of boards given to me at the Photoren, I took out something about leaving the country.

According to it, I should go to the Kazaniak branch of the Adventurer’s Guild, not the merchant counter.

It seems that the guild handles the departure procedures for adventurers on behalf of the country. It also says that a letter of introduction is required.

This may be the reason why you don’t see many adventurers going to other countries.

I received a letter of introduction in Photoren, so that’s not a problem.

The guild office I went to was a small building.

There were only a few request boards, and only one counter of the type you would find in a normal guild.

Instead, there is a counter labeled “Border Relations” that is not found in other guilds, indicating that the procedure is carried out here.

…… Not many adventurers use that counter, though, and the receptionist who handles it seems to be bored.

“To Neurel?　Unfortunately, without a letter of introduction from the branch manager, permission is …… denied.

When the receptionist noticed me approaching the counter, she assumed I was here to leave the country before I could say anything, and told me I needed a letter of introduction.

The fact that he assumed I didn’t have a letter of introduction suggests that there are a lot of adventurers who try to leave the country without one.

Or perhaps there are not many adventurers who have a letter of introduction.

I have a letter of introduction. Are you okay with this?

“Referrals!　…… I’m sorry, that was rude. May I have your guild card and letter of introduction?

When I present the card and the letter of introduction, the receptionist places them both on some sort of device and begins to compare them.

The name is Kaede, and the home base is Photoren ……. The rank is ……S!　I’m sure you’ll be happy to hear that.

I’m not sure if you’re asking me that, but ……

I don’t know any other maple trees.

I don’t know of any other maple trees. There might be one or two other maple trees in this country, but not me.

Well, it looks like you already have permission, so I’m going to give you what you need. First of all, there’s this, ……, and then there’s this.

The receptionist handed me a letter of introduction (different in design from the one given to me at the photo-ren) and an ornate container that looked like a slightly larger version of a potion jar.

“…… What’s this?

The letter of introduction is for the purpose of getting a guild card made at the Neurel Guild. Please submit it to the guild branch in Neurel, wherever you are. You can’t get an S-rank, but you can get a B-rank when you leave the country if you have an A-rank ……, so you should be able to get that when you register.

I see.

You may be able to register without this, but it would be troublesome if you start with the lowest rank.

I guess they are trying to avoid that kind of trouble.

Also, this shows that the Kingdom of Basis is backing you. In short, it means, ‘If you do anything strange to this person, Basis won’t keep quiet.

On the side, in addition to the decoration, there was a large carving of the national emblem of the Kingdom of Basis.

It’s the same kind of thing they use in period dramas when they say, “Can’t you see this crest? I guess it’s a relative of those used in period dramas when they say, “Can’t you see this crest?

…… I don’t want to use it as much as possible, because if I actually use it, I might get into trouble with the government.

But it’s not very well known, so many people may not know what it is even if you show it to them. In such cases, please remove the lid from the tube and use the document inside.

Isn’t …… well known?

Well, I didn’t even know these things existed until now.

I guess it’s not something you see very often, even in Ortheon or Neurel.

If you are a nobleman, it may be common knowledge.

However, I would be a little worried if I was given such a thing when I was about to go abroad.

Is there a situation where this would be needed often?

Let’s just ask.

Is this a place where you’ll need it often?

It’s not frequent, but it’s far more frequent than …… the Kingdom of Basis. The …… Neurel identification system is not as advanced as the one in Basis.

Identification system: ……

I’m sure you’ve heard of it.

So please be careful, especially in town. It’s not like Basis where criminals can’t enter the city. It’s not like Basis where criminals can’t get into town. You should be careful with your luggage at cheap hotels, but …… you don’t need to worry about that.

It is possible that the innkeeper could be a criminal and still be in business without being discovered?

I’m not sure if it’s a good idea, but it’s a good idea.

Also, it’s not advisable to trust just because someone is a big shot. Unlike Basis, the central power is weak.

If we have a bad politician, can’t we just get rid of him?

Is it corrupt?

I wouldn’t want to stay in a place that’s crawling with people like Radomcos.

I’d rather stay out in the open than stay in a place like that.

Most of them are fine. But, for example, there was a big guy from Neurel who tried to get into Basis last year. ……

What did he do in Basis?

“When I tried to make an ID to enter the country, I got a bandit check. I was never allowed to leave Kazaniak and I was repatriated.

…… was the problem before that.

The guild card also covers crimes committed outside the country.

And then what happened to him?

You’re not just going to let him walk around in Noirel, are you?

They’ll find embezzlement and execute him immediately. As long as they have an excuse to investigate, they move fast.

In other words, if you don’t have a pretext, you can’t even investigate.

I guess it’s tough to be in a country where there is no overwhelming power.

Well, if it’s embezzlement or something, it’s not really my problem. You can’t even get a tell from me if you fight with me.

It’s best to stay out of it.

If you use [Information Manipulation Analysis], you might be able to find criminals, but it’s going to be a hundred percent trouble.

On the other hand, if you don’t go into it yourself, you’re unlikely to get into trouble. If you don’t go into it, you are unlikely to get into trouble.

That’s what I’m talking about. …… That’s about all you need to be careful about.

Thanks for the heads up.

After receiving the necessary items, I headed for the border.

The border is not a huge barrier. It seems to be larger than the gates of Photoren, with two gates, one for wagons and one for people, but the structure of each gate seems to be the same as the gates of the town.

Well, that’s understandable. The borders outside of the town don’t even seem to be guarded, and there’s no reason to go to the trouble of guarding only the borders of this town.

The gates are probably more procedural and symbolic than a physical separation of countries.

I don’t know what kind of judgment the guild card or the country will make if you break through the border from the outside.

I.D., please.

When I presented my guild card, the guards let me through the gate easily.

I was prepared for the hassle of airport procedures, so I was quite disappointed.

Well. That’s how I got into Neurel. ……

There was one problem here.

I didn’t know where I was going.

Sure, I already know where I’m going to end up. It’s a town called “Soyl”.

But the outbreak won’t happen for about a week.

It won’t take long to get there, and even if we arrive the day before, we still have six days to spare.

I wonder if I should have checked out some of the popular tourist spots.

Well, I’ll ask around.

Just as you start walking, you see a sign.

About ten kilometers to Dillmere.

The text itself is just a plain guide.

However, I was strangely curious about something that looked like a fruit.

I don’t know why. But my intuition is telling me that this fruit is good.

At any rate, I know where I’m going.

I stop looking for someone to ask questions and start running in the direction of the sign.

Ten kilometers away, it’s as good as nothing.

In less than five minutes, I arrive at the gates of Dilmere.

And as usual, I present my guild card to the gatekeeper. …… The gatekeeper doesn’t take it, and smiles.

You’re from Basis. In this country, you can just walk right through. If you’re suspicious, we’ll stop you and check your luggage, but it doesn’t look like it.

…… That was it. This is no longer a basement where criminals are judged by their IDs.

You can get a new guild card from the Dilmere Guild.

But first, ……

One of these, please.

In a store next to the road, there is a fruit.

I spotted it and went to buy it without hesitation.

It’s a seuil. Three hundred limes.

…… lire?

What I’m holding in my hand is a tell.

I forgot to change it.

Oh.

Seeing the look of disappointment on my face, the old man at the stall looked into my hand and nodded in agreement.

He nodded in agreement.

“Oh, you’re from Basis. Don’t worry. You can use that in Dillmere. How about fifty Tel?

Can you use …… Tel?

It’s a city near the border.

“Yes, sir!

Give the man some money and take the fruit.

The fruit looks like a darker version of an apple, and is quite tasty.

As I walked along, I took a bite of the fruit, which I heard was called seiyuu.

“Boom!

And then I blew up.
