Arrived in Karkassa!!

That was a close one!

"Isn't it weird that the pots aren't broken?" — somehow, by dodging retorts like that with Karina-chan's quick wit, we made it to Karkassa.

Thank you, Mr. Healer! It's all thanks to Mr. Healer!

That's right, the magic engine car 'Star-kun No. 2' can shrink thanks to Mr. Healer's mysterious magical power. Mr. Healer is seriously convenient.

I also had Dea develop a magic circle that looks like it's responsible for the shrinking, but it's purely decorative and doesn't actually work. In reality, I'm just swapping it with a model.

As expected, I lack the knowledge to generate mysterious phenomena. I want a new textbook.

"Is Karina-oneesan praising Healer considered singing one's own praises?"

"Since it doesn't change the fact that Master is the best, isn't it fine?"

Anyway, arrival in Karkassa!!

Karkassa is a town isolated in the wasteland. It has double walls, and there is a dungeon inside the inner wall. The place with residences and shops is a donut-shaped town.

Houses made of earth magic bricks and stones line the streets, and while fields do exist, vegetables are mostly imported from other towns. Meals seem to be mainly monster meat from the dungeon.

Well then, I guess I'll get an inn room for now.

… Hmm? Come to think of it, I haven't… stayed at an inn in this world yet??

Even though it's been over a month since I came to this world…!?

That's all because Spatial Magic is just too convenient, thank you very much.

Since I don't know how to get an inn, I decided to leave it entirely to Aishia, who probably has plenty of experience.

"Aishia, can you get a private room at a good price? How much is the budget?"

"One silver coin should be enough. Ah, Master, should we get separate rooms?"

"No, the same room is fine. Since I have the storage space anyway, I'll just place the door leading there. A single room is fine."

"Ah. That's right. Master's magic is convenient, isn't it!"

Right? Spatial Magic is the strongest and most convenient!

"Then I'll sleep on the floor. We can take a single room under the pretext that Master and Lord Dea share the bed."

"Ah, I want to try the local specialties for food, so it would be good if there's something like that."

"Karkassa's specialties… If things haven't changed since I came here long ago, there's nothing notable. Grilled Crawler is a specialty, if you can call it that…"

Crawler. Basic Knowledge returned a single result… Isn't that the giant caterpillar that appears in dungeons? Can you eat it? Eh, you eat it? So you can actually eat that…

"… What is it like?"

"It's not inedible, but it is an acquired taste. Dried ones resemble Kraken fillets. As for the taste, hmm, it's like cheese without the saltiness. Poorly processed ones still have poison in them and can be spicy. It's not a poison that causes stomach aches, but it numbs you."

"Some people say the numbing feels good and leave the poison in on purpose."

Hmm, one bite to satisfy my curiosity should be enough.

"I'd rather eat Orc meat, Master."

"Honesty is good. I'll prepare some Orc steak for you separately. Anyway, I'll head to the Merchant Guild to find a good place to sell off the honey, so can I ask Dea-kun and Aishia to find an inn?"

"Understood. We'll prioritize safety in our search, Onee-san."

"That's right, at a glance, we're all girls."

For now, Dea-kun is wearing his boy outfit today. Yeah. He just looks like a ponytailed girl cross-dressing as a boy.

"I'll keep track of your location, so call me if anything happens. I'll rush over immediately!"

"Yes. Please take care too, Onee-san."

"Then Master, see you later."

Ah, come to think of it, I also have a delivery for a porter request at the Adventurers' Guild.

I'll deliver it while I'm at it and complete the request too.
