The Sage Summoned to Another World: The Cheat Items of the Unneeded Storage - Volume 3

The village chief called out for the other villagers, and those who arrived first began to cut up the Forest Boar that I had offered.

The village with this much meat will have some dried meat in reserve, since it is unlikely that the villagers will eat the whole Forest Boar in a day.

–There’s still plenty more where this came from……

I have dozens of Forest Boars stowed away in Dimensional Storage.

My Dimensional Storage works the same as in the game, the same material can fit up [x99] in a single frame, but does not weigh a thing.

I talked about it with Natalie in Lian and she jumped at me with her eyes wide open, saying how she had never heard anything like that.

Over the course of the next hour or so, some villagers dismantled the meat and others brought ingredients and prepared supper.

For some reason, all the villagers gathered to welcome me.

I was a bit against the idea, seeing how I was going to be in the spotlight, but I was told that with the food I had given them, there was no way they would not show their gratitude to me.

The village chief handed out alcohol to everyone, and the villagers proceeded to roast the meat and eat.

As I looked around, one thing was clear; I was the only man my age in this crowd. There were old men and small boys.

As I ate the meal and watched the villagers, the village chief sat down next to me.

「Well, have a drink. It’s been a very long time since we had an occasion to have some.—So what do you think? Has any girl caught your eye yet? 」

The village chief in an indirect way asked in a suggestive way that I stay because of the loss of all the  young men in the village, but I shook my head no, and drank from the cup he had offered.

There are many young and beautiful women here, but I am on a mission at the moment and I would not think of jeopardizing it because of such.

「I have a request I must complete…… I’ll be leaving as soon as tomorrow  」

「I see, but……. It’s a shame  」

The village chief turned his head ruefully, took a drink of the alcohol he had in his hand and sighed.

The most important thing right now on my mind is gathering information about the Imperial Capital. Not only that, but also to confirm the well-being of Char’s parents.

After finishing the meal, I pardoned myself from the gathering before I got drunk, and fell into bed in the room prepared for me in the chief’s house.

Morning came quick enough.  After an early meal and a farewell to the village chief, I left the village.

Two days north of here, I should be arriving in the Imperial Capital.

I double-checked the map of the Lunette Empire I had been given in Lian and set off down the road at a brisk pace.

In all honesty, it would have been quicker if I rode Kokuyou, but he had trampled over the Generate Kingdom soldiers in Salandir, and then again in Lian. It might be dangerous to let him out.

I was also told by Natalie and everyone else to not let him out, as he might catch too much attention.

That’s why I think it’ll be best if I let him out as the last resort, probably if I have to escape.

The fields on sides of the road were ravaged as I got closer to the Capital, scarred by the war.

This further opened my eyes to what being in war is like. I continued on my path, and came upon an intersection of several roads that formed a single road to the Capital.

I walked a little slower with my dagger hanging lightly by my waist. You can never know who might be watching in a place like this.

On the way,  a few merchants’ carriages came up from behind me.

The adventurers that were escorting them were very wary of me as they passed me by.

About half a day of watching carriages pass me by, I arrived in the city of Torres.

The city of Torres, which is just before the Imperial Capital , is already occupied and under the control of the Generate Kingdom.

The Generate Kingdom flags are hung above the gate.

I joined the queue that was for the checkpoint to enter the city.

There were several groups of people in line.

I held my guild card in my hand, and was ready to pull out a few silver coins in case of emergency.

「Next  」

It was my turn to present my guild card to the gate guard.

The silver guild card is a high rank, B rank card, common in all countries.

「…… From Salandir Kingdom, what is a B rank…… doing here? 」

The soldier’s face twisted slightly.

「I figured I’d get more requests here since the country is under Generate Kingdom now. As you can see, I’m a Recovery Priest  」

I’m just assuming that being a Recovery Priest will garner less suspicion.

A normal Recovery Priest in nothing more than a rear guard, supporting the other party members.

Unlike me, a Buster Sword using-used-to-be Recovery Priest.

「That’s for sure. Well, there’s no problem for anybody from the Salandir Kingdom entering this city. You may pass  」

I took my guild card from him, casually gave him a wave with my hand, and walked through the gate.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

I need to find an inn. I should also check in with the guild here…… If there is a request to Imperial Capital, that will help me sneak in more easily.

The city was not desolate.

Torres has many human tribes and a few beastman tribes.

The market place was not too busy though, and the owners were calling out to people as they walked by, to try some of their products.

I bought two skewers from a stall that sold them, and there, I was told where to find the Adventurer’s Guild and a recommended inn.

The inn was close by, and as I entered, I found a middle-aged woman standing behind the reception desk.

「Welcome. Are you staying the night? If you’re here for supper, it is not yet ready  」

「Staying the night, please. One night  」

「With breakfast and supper included, it’s only one silver coin. I’m sorry if you find price too high, I had to raise it because of this city’s situation  」

「I understand, and the price is fine  」

Countries defeated in war can’t help but be exploited in some way. In addition to the exploitation, there are less customers.

I took out a silver coin and placed it on the counter.

「Thank you. Your room is on the second floor at the far end 」

I took the key and walked up the stairs, where there were four rooms. I inserted the key into the door of the room that was at the far back of the building and opened the door. The room was quite spacious for one person.

It was about eight tatami mats in size. The bed was not a single, but a double size. There was also a closet, a table, and a chair, and for a single silver coin, I had no complaints.

Thanks to the fact that I had received a request before I left Salandir Kingdom, my pockets had some heft to them, so this was very cheap.

After checking the room, I let the receptionist know that I was going out to the guild, gave her back the key and left the inn.

I headed for the guild, thinking how it’ll be fantastic if I could get some useful information about the Imperial Capital there.
