Surviving a Harsh Fantasy with Cheat Items - Chapter 107.1: Honeymoon

Finally, the schedules of my six wives were met and we decided to go on our honeymoon.

Even so, it was only a trip around the royal territory, which is not very big.

In fact, I would have loved to travel all over the Kingdom of Silesie but the local nobles in the south are still disobedient to Queen Silhouette’s royal authority.

As long as I am backing her up, they won’t dare show it publicly but we can never tell what they would do if we went around in a horse-drawn carriage. That might provoke them to launch a coup.

Lyle-sense did say that she would eventually do something about the problem with the local noble faction.

Either way, it was still too early, especially now that the scars of war with the Germania Empire had not healed yet.

「It would be faster if we could fly.」

Oracle-chan complains about that every time when it comes to carriage trips.

But we can’t satisfy her wish since only she and Kaara can use flight magic.

「A leisurely carriage trip from time to time is also good.」

I get into the new royal carriage. I was so excited that I could not stop myself from stepping on the carriage.

The carriage was lined and fixed with springs underneath and sensei asked me about it with a serious look on her face.

「Takeru-dono, was this the suspension you are talking about? I had them made because you said they would decrease vibration.」

「Well, it’s better than the lifting type, isn’t it?」

When the four-horse carriage started, everyone felt that the vibration was indeed lesser.

However, I kept in mind that there is still instability in the carriage, probably due to the fact that the suspension system is different from the real suspension system. It still needs further improvement.

The Kingdom of Silesie has both wood and horses which are used for carriages. The blacksmith and crafting guild that will process and build the carriage are not as advanced as those from the Duchy of Lanct but they do exist.

「If we can perfect this, we can sell it as a specialty product.」

「Even this doesn’t pass to your standard?  Takeru-dono is quite strict.」

If you make a half-baked product, there’s no way that it can be a specialty product.

We must also consider the industrial development of Silesie.

We will go around the towns and villages of the royal territory to appeal for the inauguration of the new queen.

After all, the more rural the area is, the less they know the new queen.

I was surprised to find that everyone knew about me, the hero of Silesie.

It seems that the commoners are not so interested in kings and nobles but they like to hear stories about the hero.

The story of Sawatari Takeru, a farmer who became a hero, married the queen, and rose to the position of king(a rumor spread by Sara-chan that has spread throughout the kingdom), was well received by the peasants so I was welcomed with open arms in every village.

「You are very popular.」

Silhouette laughed at me when she saw a farmer’s child, holding a wooden sword, following our carriage forever.

「I’m sorry. I seem to be the only one who stands out.」

「No no, this lady is proud as your wife.」

「Takeru-dono being very popular in farming villages made it very convenient to gather volunteer soldiers.」

Sensei seemed to be thinking about this as she looked around the farming village.

「Are you still gathering soldiers?」

「The south part of the Kingdom of Silesie is still in a state of trouble and we need soldiers to keep it under control. Also, the coalition of duchy headed by Lanct has separated from Germania Empire and is relying on the kingdom.」

Rather than training knights and soldiers who are hardened by old tactics, a simple volunteer peasant soldier is easier to train on using guns and cannons.

The system of volunteer soldiers initiated by the Kingdom of Silesie may change the common sense of warfare in the future.

「Sensei, we’re on our honeymoon so let’s not talk about work.」

「My apologies. So, what should I do then?」

What should you do? The best way to soften her head is through skinship.

I can attack sensei right away but later, I have to attack the rest of my wives equally which makes things difficult.

It’s pretty challenging to maintain equality in a harem.
