Quiet Story 2, Daily Life in Oligor part 2

 Author Note:


The characterization doesn't work well and a quiet story is going on.......

Nn...... it's difficult.



Now, I can't wait to see who this wealthy merchant in the reception room is.

I hope it's someone who enjoys engaging in a verbal battle, but I'm not sure.

But still, Amatsukuni .......

They wear “Wafuku” and their culture is so different from other independent countries.

And I heard that the tribe called “Musha” and “Samurai” are good at fighting and eat anything that moves.

...... Don't tell me he's a scary guy, right?


"I am sorry to keep you waiting. My name is Meira. I am the manager of this trading establishment"

"No problem. You are very young to be the manager at your age. And who is that young lady over there?"


A beautiful girl sitting on a chair with a beautiful appearance and drinking tea from a round tea cup.

A beautiful girl!

She has black hair but her eyes are a different color, so she doesn't look like a “drifter,” but her affiliation is similar to theirs.

Her hair is pitch black, yet long and tied back in a single strand.

And above all, she has big twin hills!

She has big breasts, though not as big as Wendy's.

Is she a good match for Aina?

I see.

So this is the famous “Yamato Nadeshiko” of Amatsukuni.


“Hello, I'm Oliglor, 11 years old.”

“Your age and tone of voice are out of balance, my lord”

“Tsk. What's the point if you reveal it too early?"

"It's better to reveal it early than late"


It's not very interesting.

The timing is important for this kind of topic.


"My goodness, it is you, my lord. My name is Yuki. I am an adventurer from Amatsukuni"

"An adventurer? Not a wealthy merchant?"

“I will be participating in the upcoming martial arts tournament in Royal Capital, and I have brought with me a letter from my family and the items needed for the tournament, so you don't have to worry"


Then I glanced at the small bag attached to her waist.

Perhaps it was a magic bag.

I wondered if the adventurer was strong enough to have a magic bag.

Or did her parents, who are wealthy merchants, give it to her?

I think it is probably the former.


"Oh of course it was. I assumed Gouki-sama would be here"

“Gouki is my father. I'm sorry, but I said it would be more efficient if I went myself, considering the trouble of making two trips"

"I do not mind.  If I can get a large order, there will be no problem at all"

"Of course. But the journey will be very difficult, and we will have to take into account the price"

"I understand. In addition, the lord here is also working hard on the maintenance of the highway. This is a chance for me to show you how important it is to have a road to the west"

“Nyonya?”


Delicious snacks for guests at Meira's place!

What is this? Where are these sweets from?

Where is it from?

I've never tasted such delicious sweets in this city.

I guess the artisans are still concentrated in Royal City.  

I wish we could bring more people here.


"Yes, it is. I visited here directly without passing through the royal capital, and I was surprised to see that the road was well maintained from the halfway point! If possible, it would be better if the road was maintained as far as the border with the empire......."

“I don't think it's possible to go that far, as expected. If we were to extend it to the west, there would be a lot of noisy investors”


While munching on a snack, I make sure to answer the questions.

If Soma had been around, she would have been warned not to talk while putting food in mouth.


"Don't talk while putting food in your mouth, my lord. And those sweets are for Yuki-sama”



...... little girl.

You've grown beyond my expectations.


"Now, since it is enough to give this lord some sweets, let's have a quick business meeting, shall we?"

“Oh, may I? You can't treat a lord like that......"

“Right now, she's not here as a lord, but as an individual named Oligor. Therefore, I can make personal purchases, but there is no need to pay attention to her"

"Exactly! I am a lord, but right now I just want to personally buy Amatsukuni's goods! You don't have to be afraid of me either, Yuki-chan"

"Ha, OK......"


Now, I wonder what I should buy!

As a lord, I'm starved for entertainment, and my appetite is as high as Riet's.

My savings is depleted from rewarding big brother, but I'm sure it's enough to pay for all the hard work I've put in since then, right?


"Then, since we're on the topic of sweets, let's start with sweets"

“Oh! Amatsukuni sweets!"

“That's not very modest. Oligor-sama. Please don't take such a blatant interest in it"

I am afraid I do not understand merchant's delicate nature. I have no intention of watching your step, so I hope you will feel free to enjoy it"


With that, Yuki pulls a plate out of a magic bag, and from another cloth bag, she puts a thin, light-colored, fox-colored pastry on top of it.

Hmmm. The color of the pastry is similar to cookies.

But I can't imagine what it tastes like just from its appearance.


"Can I try it?”

"Yes, of course. It is recently made from Amatsukuni, and although it is not sweet, it has a reputation for being appetizing"

"Then, let's get started! Bon appétit!"

“Oh, hey! I'm negotiating here!"

"The first one to get in wins! Hmmm? It's pretty hard, isn't it?"

"Yes, it is. I don't think I'm used to eating this kind of food. ......"

“Hmmm. Some people are used to eating this food, but we process it a little bit"

"Oh, I get it! I know what it is! It's rice!"

"That's right. It's called “Okaki. Actually, we would like to export not only rice, but also processed rice"

"I see. ...... This is very appetizing"

"I think it might be a little hard for me. But it is delicious!"


It's by no means because of my age that my teeth have deteriorated.

It's just really a little hard.


"Oh, but is this the rice you usually export?"

"No, it is not. This is glutinous rice, which is the rice used to make mochi. And"


With that, she took out a flat, round “Okaki” with black grains on it.


“Is this different from ’Okaki‘?”

"This is 'Osenbei ( rice crackers )'. It is made by mixing flattened rice with salt and black sesame seeds and baking it"

"Oh, these are savory and delicious, too"

"There are also sweets that aren't sweet. ...... This might go popular"

"I'm glad you like it"


Rice crackers, huh.

I like it.

It's hard, but the more I chew it, the better it tastes.

I can keep eating it while stamping my seal.


“By the way, what is ‘Mochi’ made from glutinous rice?”

"Mochi is like this ...... a sticky mass of rice...hmmm......... Seeing is believing, right? Try this one too”


The next one she took out was wrapped in a large bamboo leaf, so I couldn't see what was inside.

But my intuition is telling me that this is something sweet!


"This one is called daifuku. It is made by wrapping 'Anko (a sweet bean paste)' in a rice cake.”


I've never heard of anko, but it looks pure white and puffy.

This is .......


“...... what are you doing?”

"No, because this is exactly what it looks like, with the shape and the elasticity. I can see all the boys in the world being tempted by this Daifuku and ...... I feel so sad about something. ......"

"If you play with food, you will be punished by the goddess"

"Then, you can try to touch it. Anyway, you going to have the same impression as I do!"

"No way, that's ...... not true. I'm sure this is ......"


Yuki looks bitter as we touch the “daifuku” with our index fingers, but she doesn't know that!

Because Yuki is the one who has it!

We who don't have it cannot feel it!


“...... I doubt that these softnesses are modeled after Yuki's breasts”

“Hey, you can't say anything strange! I'm so sorry !"

"No, no. Of course not. Would you like to try some?"

“Yes, yes. Then I will eat it"

“Farewell, breast. I wish that I could eat it and it would become my breast"

"That would be ...... difficult......"


Don't give me that pity look!

I know what I'm doing!

I know I'm asking for something I don't have!

But it's fine for me to long for big boobs too!


"Wow, the texture is amazing as well as the feel.

It's stretchy! 

Stretchable! And the filling is sweet, too! It's sweet and delicious!"

"Is this beans? But why are the beans so sweet?"

“Yes. Because the anko is made from a special sweet bean called 'sweet-ripe Azuki Beans'. They are very sweet even without sugar"


It's interesting to see the texture of the beans, both the original texture and the crushed texture.

The color of the filling, purple, is almost black, which is a little scary, but the sweetness is still surprising.

And I can't believe that this is the natural sweetness of beans, not sugar.

I mean, really. Amatsukuni is very interesting.


"By the way, the price is ......"

Well, this time it's 2,000 Nors for one, but next time I'd like to charge 3,000 Nors......"

“Wow. That's quite a lot"

"In Amatsukuni, the price is less than half. I think it's a little more than that, considering the transportation on the way......"

“If we place a bulk order, we could get it a little cheaper, right?”

"Yes, of course. However, the Daifuku is not so easy to preserve. When it comes to rice crackers, you can use a fire magic stone to prevent moisture, and if you are careful about mold and mildew, you should be fine. So we would like to sell you glutinous rice and sweet-ripe azuki beans and teach you how to make them. We would have to charge extra for that. Or we could send a craftsman from our country to open a store"


Hmmm.

If I want to eat daifuku, should I either ask how to make it and train artisans over here, or should I call in specialized artisans ......?

Normally, the former would be better for the city for a long time, but I think I'll choose the latter.


“Hey, Meira-chan. I have one thing to discuss with you.......”

“I have a bad feeling about this......."


Ha ha. You hit the jackpot.


“Yes. If possible, I would like to invite a craftsman from Amatsukuni, but I'm not sure"


For Meira, I'm sure she would love to know the manufacturing process and even open a store in her own place.

That way, she would have a monopoly on the profits.

I don't really care which way it goes.

But in that case, only Meira will get the profit.

If I think about the future and the other stores, I need the people of Amatsukuni to become more familiar with this town.


“That's right. ....... Your face is back to the way it used to look when you were doing the lord's work”

"Well, it's something I think would be good for the city"

"Oh, all right. You can do whatever you like about Daifuku. In exchange, we will have exclusive rights to Senbei and Okaki"

"Of course! Thank you, Meira-chan!"

"Don't hug me, please!"


She is so smart and nice that it is hard to believe that she is Darwin's daughter-in-law.

I think hearing one and knowing ten is exactly what she is.


"Are you sure?”

"Hmm? What?"

"No, if you know how to make it, you can sell it here exclusively. But you leave it in the hands of those in our country. ....."

"No problem. If it is possible to eat authentic artisanal “Daifuku” at any time, it is fine. I know it is not proper for a merchant. I also love this town, and if the lord asked me with a serious face, I could not refuse if I am a merchant who loves this town"

"I'll make sure I'll do what's best for the city"

"Of course I will. If not, I will not forgive you!"


Huh. ...... It's a great thing to be a lord when people say they love this city. ......

I'll do some serious work when I get home.

I'm sure I'll be able to figure out the location of the store on my end.


"Don't worry. When big brother comes back and Amatsukuni's store opens, he will love it! And I'll tell everyone that this is all thanks to you!"

“Oh, no, you don't have to do that!”

“Is he your brother?”

"Yes. He's in royal capital right now, but he's the love of her life. I'm sure he'll love the rice crackers and the Daifuku because he's a 'drifter'!"

“Oh, you are not related to him by blood, are you? It's true that many of the 'drifters' for some reason get all teary-eyed when they come to our village. ......”

"Oops, but you stay away from my big brother! He's definitely going to make you fall first!”

“Fell in ...... mean, is he seducer?“”

"He's just loyal to his desires"

"Isn't that worse than being a flirt ......?”


Yes, well, that may be true for some people, but once you cross the line, it can be refreshing to see!

In fact, I don't mind the eroticism of a man who is faithful to his desires!

It's not vulgar, and it's much better than being lecherous!


"If he is a “drifter” ......, then he must be very strong. Then perhaps he will be participating in the martial arts tournament in the capital?"

“No way! He's weak and timid, so there's no way he'll participate"

"That's right. If anyone knew him, he would laugh it off as a joke"

“What? Does it all 'drifter' strong,right?Shouldn't he have great power?"

"Big brother is just strange, you know"

“Yes, he is. He sure is strange"

“’Strange drifter‘’ is it? ....... I'd like to meet him"


Oops.

I may have raised another strange flag without my brother.

I'll just blow this achievement out of the water and say it's all thanks to me!


"Well, so, as for Daifuku, would it be all right if I call someone from a certain country?”

"Yes, that's fine. I would like to keep in touch with you and Gouki-sama"

“Well, I will tell him that you have been very kind to me"

"Thank you very much. Now, this business meeting is not going to be just about sweets, is it?"

"Of course. I have also prepared a “Wafuku” that will make the “drifter” you are interested in fall in love with you. Perhaps you would like to have an “Arre” with him? I'm sure he'll be happy to oblige!"


What? What did you say?

It wasn't just sweets, was it?

And what's the deal with the “Arre”?

I'm sure it's an indecent thing that I can understand!


“'Arre'? What? What is that?”

“Yes, yes, yes! I'll buy it! I'll give it to you as a present because you did a bad thing to Meira-chan! And we can both have 'Arre"!”

“I don't mind anymore. The most important thing to remember is that every time we do business, there's always something wrong with the way we do it......."

"It's all right. This is still a healthy game!"

"Is that so?"

“In my home country, such a culture has developed so much that it has taken root in the neighborhood as ‘H’. The name ...... itself is not a problem, but because of that, sometimes women from Amatsukuni are attacked because they are thought to be “H.”  However, Amatsukuni women are strong, so they are usually able to fight back. Of course, if anyone tries to force them to do so, it is a serious crime. They often have their parts cut off"


Wow. It's a country of “Samurai” as they say.

What they do is so cruel.

Well, I don't intend to be on the side of criminals.

I don't know what “H” stands for, but I guess it's like erotic in the sense.

I guess there must have been some men who would have jumped at the chance to see such a beautiful woman when they heard she was erotic.

I wonder how many men got castrated....…


“It's a very extreme country in many ways, isn't it ......?”

“Is it? I think it looks like a fun country"


'Wafuku”, ‘Samurai’, ‘Sembei’, ‘Daifuku’ and even ‘H’... Amatsukuni is a very strange and interesting country.

I'm definitely going to visit there with my brother when I retire as a lord!



Author Note:


That's the end of the Oligor story for now.

Next up is ...... again, depending on how well I can set up the ...... character.


Added on 2017/08/18 22:57


I didn't have to be concerned about ohagi (rice cake). ......

So I decided to go with “Daifuku” as usual.

I also modified the exchange between Oligor and Meira a little!
