Unwanted in Isekai Chapter 80. Back in the Royal Capital Again

 

 

After Chris-chan, I mean, Chris-kun came, we had lunch and I teleported to the Royal Capital.

This time, I’ll be away from Euphy and the group for two days again, but I trained them well so they’re happy to send me off.

However, I couldn’t escape the courteous send-off, being hugged before teleportation.

Well, Nia was amused so she joined in, and the two beautiful girls are clinging to me and I have no intention of running away from the beginning.

Upon arriving in the capital, I asked the soldier to send a message to meet the prime minister tomorrow.

Doing that, I showed him the metal plate that looks like an ID card I got the other day, and it was powerful.

He was doubtful at first, but right after handing it to the soldier, he straightened his posture and treated me like a guest.

Someone who looked like the soldier’s superior came out and was happy to pass on the message.

I could pass through the wall separating the noble and commoner districts in one shot, but I might get more than what I bargained for.

With just one of these, I could do a face-pass in many places in this country.

With that said, I enjoyed strolling around the capital.

Now that I’ve met the prime minister and have a better understanding of the situation, I could walk around with a big smile on my face.

When I find a store that interests me, I buy something that seems useful at random.

I spent a good deal of money at a store I saw on the way, where an adorable girl about Euphy’s age was tending the store because I had some extra money.

A set of recovery medicine, an antidote set, a magic bag, and so on.

I have one magic bag, but I want to get another one and let Euphy have it for now.

I want them to have the recovery stuff I just bought and carry their daily necessities with them.

After that, I also bought some skill orbs, I’ve been holding off since I couldn’t afford them recently. This is pretty much…rather, I bought as much as I could.

There aren’t many skills covered by the three of us, so there are more types that fall under purchase.

I got skill orbs for basic combat skills such as sword arts, spear arts, archery, and martial arts, and I also purchased a large shield arts skill orb which I purchased for the first time.

This is a little difficult to use, but I bought it thinking that one of these days, I could give Euphy all the shield skills I have and I could use the large shield arts.

It might be hard to switch so suddenly so I think I’ll have to wait until I have all the skill orbs for large shield arts.

One more thing, I got a very nice skill orb.

I got a teleport skill orb, the one I want the most.

I bought a skill orb at a store I had been going to for a while and they bought it out from the back.

But, it was expensive.

They asked for 20 gold coins for one.

Orbs with a skill level of 1 can be purchased for less than gold, and even the rarer ones require less than 10 gold.

I thought for a moment that I was being ripped off, and I tried to negotiate a lower price with the owner, but they didn’t accept it, saying that the teleport skill is useful in its own right.

I had no choice but to pay for it.

If you ask me, I could get it for that much, it was a cheap deal and that’s fine.

I didn’t lose.

While I was doing that, it turned night.

It was a fun stroll, but thinking back, it was hard to have fun alone.

I can’t wait for my teleport to get up.

In terms of skill orbs, I need two more, but at this pace, I think I’ll be able to gather them sooner than I thought.

The next messenger sent from the Adicilton could bring it back.

The next day, after breakfast, I went to the castle.

Normally, one would send a servant to confirm or something, but I don’t have one so I have to go there directly.

As I entered the noble district from the commoner street, I went straight to the castle, and a few soldiers approached me.

「 You must be Kotori-dono. Let me take you to Knight Gerber 」

It scared me when he suddenly stood in front of me, but it seems that he was waiting for me.

When I offered to visit yesterday, I was told to come back tomorrow to check, but I had no idea that I would be greeted like this.

Surrounded by soldiers, I made my way through the castle, passed through the gates, and entered finding the knight who guided me last time there.

I don’t know their name or sex, but their name is Gerber-san.

This person attends to me, is he a knight serving exclusively as the prime minister or something?

When I entered the prime minister’s office, I’m greeted by the old man with a smile.

「 Kotori-dono, I’ve been waiting 」

「 Prime minister, thank you for opening your time 」

「 What are you saying, you’re always welcome, Kotori-dono 」

The prime minister’s showing one hell of a smile.

Sure, that welcome is passionate, but you just want some otherworld items, don’t you?

That’s scary.

Well, I decided that it was better than being treated poorly, so I gave him a sake drink comparison set as a souvenir.

There’s not much meaning to it.

I went to the station to get some food and bought it because they had it.

「 I see. A drink from the other world? And the bottle’s a magnificent one. There’s no bubble in it. And these must be the characters used in Kotori-dono’s world. And this paper? It sticks to the glass and doesn’t come off… 」

I told him it was alcohol, but he seems more interested in the container than the contents.

Oh well, it’s not surprising since you can’t drink it.

After handing over the souvenir, we had a light conversation and put several things on the table.

Small things like wallets, belts, and fountain pens.

It’s unclear whether the prime minister is interested in things other than the watch, so for now, I put out a variety of items and see what his reaction is.

There are other things I can bring out, but this is enough for now.

「 I see. This is great. Is this leather? But, what’s this luster? And this must be a belt? What do you put in this? Oh, coins? What else, this is thin so it can only hold a limited amount.

Thinking about it, this world uses coins, so a modern wallet doesn’t have much use,

There’s no paper money, and no need to put cards.

Even so, the wallet and belt got a favorable reputation.

It’s a processing method they never saw before.

I wasn’t sure if it would be accepted because there are so many leather products in this world, but I was right about taking it out.

That time, he asked what kind of leather it was, and when I answered “horse,” he was surprised.

He’s telling the knight to capture a bicorn. Maybe he’s trying to recreate it?

Why are you telling him to get something that seems like a monster when I told you that was a horse?

「 Is this a pen? I see, you don’t have to put ink in to write…ooh, this is lovely! This is practical! And how easy it is to write here? 」

It seems that he likes the fountain pen.

I can see the quill pen on his desk, so I guess we’re not at that stage in this world.

However, he looks like a child so happy with his new toy.

This is a mix of what I prepared and what the gang boss prepared.

The wallet and belt were mine, and the fountain pen was from the boss.

I got other stuff from the boss, but this is the only one I’m showing for now.

Still, the wallet and belt I provided were single-digit items at best, and the fountain pens were at double digits.

I’m not asking to give something good, but I guess we have different common sense.

These items put him in a good mood.

I usually get 200 gold coins or so, but this seriously bugs my sense of money.

I’m afraid that I might have an inexhaustible amount of money in the future.

That aside, I might’ve brought out a bit too many items?

I regret that I should’ve saved a little more if I was going to be such a pleaser.

We have to keep things in moderation.

But you know, there’s something to be said if I visit with only one item.

As I collect the gold coins I received with that thought in mind. The Prime minister glances and speaks up.

「 Kotori-dono, have you…uhm, that watch… 」

「 Oh, I’m sorry. I wasn’t able to procure one this time. I’ll be sure to bring one on the next visit, so please look forward to it 」

I said that, but I actually have a watch.

I had the boss prepare that as my main item, which I plan to use for negotiations next time.

But you know, I could tell that this one was a super high-end product at first glass, and the boss said that it costs about 8 million JPY.

Almost the entire dial is skeletonized to reveal the mechanism inside, and the watch is a work of art in it’s own right

He also is very interested in the mechanics of the fountain pen so he’ll definitely take it.

And so, I’m a little hesitant to put it out there…

The timing is hard.

「 Haa, I see. The items you handed me today were quite lovely. However, I wonder if there’s anything out there that can top this one? 」

The prime minister says while staring at his watch.

「 A watch? I seem to be getting a good response, so if you give me some more time, I’ll get it 」

「 Response? Ooh? can I expect it? 」

「 Yes, I feel the quality of what I’m able to grab has definitely improved since acquiring a teleport skill orb. I’ll be able to bring over another one soon, please expect it 」

「 Ooh, Kotori-dono. I see. That’s great. I believe you 」

「 Yes, and also please help me with Mirai… I saw her face the other day and it got me more eager to get her. Let me take her as my own, and I will bring something that will surely please you, prime minister, 」

I say while fumbling my hands, then the prime minister smiled.

「 Of course Kotori-dono. That case is already in discussion, so please bring a lovely timepiece to me 」

You want a watch too much.

「 And so, Kotori-dono. Are you going to meet with Mirai today? 」

「 No, not now. My lust might become uncontrollable that I make a move on her. Even if she can’t kill a monster, I still fear that she’ll fight back if she’s about to be assaulted 」

The truth is, I could, but I have nothing to tell her.

I have no positive topics, and I feel sorry for getting her expectations up, so I don’t want to fuss her up.

「 I see. I heard from the maid that Mirai wanted to see you again, so it must be fine. But if Kotori-dono says so, I won’t blame you. We’re done for today. Kotori-dono’s leaving. Lead the way 」

That’s the end of our meeting today.

The commercial deal was a huge success.

If I can bring something of interest in the future, they’re willing to buy it from me.

However, there’s no progress with Mirai’s case.

It wasn’t a bad reaction when I poked him, but I don’t know how true that was.

How many times do we have to make an exchange?

If I bring a watch next time, can he do something about it?

But you know, he might be the prime minister, but his power is unknown to me.

The heroes were summoned in front of the King, and so the royalty’s looking after them.

Can I expect them to let her go because the head of political affairs of this country?

Hmm, although, I have no other connections except the prime minister, I’ll just have to get that guy to make a move.

Man. This is getting troublesome.

I already have been in her room once, so I think I can just kidnap her when I get a higher level of teleportation.

Following the knight with that thought in mind, he suddenly stopped.

「 Kotori-dono, please stop 」

The knight speaks a little tensed, and I saw several knights at the end of the path and a woman standing in front of them, hiding her face with a fan and standing in front of us.
