Isekai Sagishi No Consulting Chapter 2 Part1

Chap 002: Sweet scent floats in the night (part 1)

All Bloom is the amazing big city.

Before the gate, there is a big square. From that, there is a one-way road with 12 lanes, go into the city. In the square, there is a guide map to show all the districts of the city, but… in a moment, I suspect my eyes.

If the guide map is accurate, the city will be as large as 23 districts in Tokyo. It is like 23 Tokyo’s districts are surrounded by a thick wall 30 meters high.

Unbelievable!!!

How much has it cost, money and time? Or, was the progress accelerated by the magic?

Basically, I always thought that a city was surrounded by walls only contained about 10,000 people…

All Bloom is divided into 42 districts in total. In the middle of the city, there is a district what is called “central district”. Starting from that, the districts from 2 and above are distributed outward as the geometric radial. By the way, the place where I am standing is District 30.

Districts from 30 to 42 are located close to the wall, and the most of them have gates leading out of the city. When talking about District 30, it looks like it is being ruled by a n.o.ble clan – Wishart home.

And, it seems that if you follow this road, you will reach the central district. Because the way is built to serve the transportation of luggage through each district, so this road is very big.

The streets are beautifully built, with brick or stone houses. Among them, there are wooden buildings too, but they are not bad at all, while the beauty of them is highlighted in the street.

A beautiful, bustling street, make me think about the word – “the modern”.

I do not know just the district 30 is special or other districts similar this. But the level of culture must be said to be relatively high.

Although I feel unhappy because of bad food and unskillful outfits. But if I can get acquainted this, then I will live here well.

First of all, I need to change the spices into money and find a place to stay.

If the spices should be delivered to the lord of district 30, is sold in district 30, I can be in danger.

Okay, I’m going to District 29 next. Although it is a bit far, if I just think about 5,000,000 yen, my feet will light up.

So I go ahead to District 29.

–o0o–

Strange!!!

This city is so strange.

There are many people with animal face walk on two legs in the city. And the fried weed is cla.s.sified as food for people. And someone looks beautiful from the back, but the face is a snail.

No matter what, the city is so strange. No, the snail girl must be said that “the horrible”, right.

But there is one thing is stranger than the above!

It is in this city you cannot lie!

Honestly, It’s absolutely impossible.

When I was planning to sell spices to the spice shop in District 29.

I was told that in order to buy and sell in the city, a certificate of the district was required what was granted by the guild. If not, you must trade in the Guild. It seems that in addition to adventures and traders, anyone who needs to transact suddenly, always go to the Guild.

But, this is the spice that originated from the gloom in front of the gate not long ago. If I bring it to the guild to transact immediately, I will definitely be noticed.

At that time, I was negotiating with the spice shop owner but… it was weird.

At first, he asked me, “Where did you find these spices?”

Because of “Spiritual judge” who had been called by Norbert before. So, I thought that should not lie, I made the unclear expression and replied:

“I ‘got’ it from a kind businessman.”

‘Get’ includes the meaning of theft. So it doesn’t count as lying.

I thought it would pa.s.s, but… the shop owner immediately turned into demon face and scolded me. He said:

“I do not deal with thieves! Get out of here, otherwise, I’ll take you to the police!”

In front of that angry expression, I ran out of the store.

Because of the curse of the shopkeeper was resounding behind me, it seemed like my story had become a hot topic in District 29.

Quitting the deal in District 29, I headed to another district.

I thought of going to District 28 or 27, but the city is divided into a circle with the center was Central District.

Next to District 29 is District 28, and next to District 28 is District 27, but the distance from 29 to 28 and 27 is quite far because all three districts are located in the circle border. So, if I go into the center of the circle, I will go to other districts faster.

From the outside, the first circle is the districts from 30 to 42. The second circle is the districts from 23 to 29. The next is from 11 to 22, from 6 to 10, from 2 to 5, and the central location is the Central district.

That means, if I start from District 29, District 22 in the center will be closer than District 28 next to. Because of that, I went ahead to District 22.

Got back the morale and prepared to take a large amount of money! Fufufu…

That’s what I thought, but the same thing happened in other Districts.

Instead of trading advantageously, I was cursed by the shop owner. And then, the shop owner started to chase me with an axe in his hand.

Lies are not effective.

On the other hand, if lies are revealed, it will definitely become troublesome…

– Dammit…

In this city, I cannot really lie …?

The possible reason is because of “translation magic”.

Although the words themselves were very ambiguous, when they were translated into the enemy’s language, they become clear.

As in j.a.panese, “Watashi”, “Ore”, “Boku”, “Sessha”, when are translated into English, all of them became “I”.

Maybe “get” had been translated into “steal” or “burgle”.

What a troublesome city.

In the end, despite holding a spice bag is worth 5,000,000 yen, I still do not have a coin in my pocket.

I tried to convince people that the Yen currency was a regular currency, but … it seemed that the city did not use any money other than the Ruben currency. I was told to exchange money in the Guild, but this time I did not want to go there at all…

Moreover, the rumors of a thief in the city have already begun to spread.

I cannot stay in District 22 any longer. Must be withdrawn quickly.

However, the speed of spreading rumors is faster than I thought. When I arrived District 21, the rumor had already penetrated. Although I rushed to District 10, the rumors had arrived there, too.

Fast. Too fast!

It was possible that the information transmission system had been established. Or the Guild was also involved in this.

The Guild is an organization. The colleagues create an organization and help each other in information exchange or lending. Generally, benefiting each other.

But there are also obligations. Such as contribution funds or rules.

In short, I cannot stay around anymore.

Now, I have to go somewhere far… As Central District for example… Ah, wait.

I look back at the around scene.

The place where I’m standing is in District 10. I quickly moved from District 30 into the inner city and… the streets became more and more beautiful. Compared with District 30 which I think is very beautiful, the scene here is more subtle.

Think a little!

The Central District is the center of this city and is the most beautiful District… That means “the smaller the District’s number is, the higher District’s position is”

District 20 is richer than District 30, District 10 is richer than District 20. Perhaps the wealth ranking is so that.

On the road of District 10, streetlights are installed, while District 22 is not available.

Moreover, in District 10 there is a big building like the theater. The costumes of the walker are also very luxurious.

My guess may be right.

If that is the case …

If I want to run, the District, which has a large number as 4x, will be the best ideal.

If the District has a small number, is where the n.o.ble lives, then the District has a large number, will be the bottom of the society.

The District has the largest number in this city is District 42. And on the map, it is located right next to District 30.

I turned back to the road I had walked through before.

My excitement goes down, I try not to sigh on the way.

–o0o–

– What … Cliff … Ah!?

After returning to District 30, I headed to District 42.

And when I reach the border of District 30, I met a cliff.

Below the cliff, I see a dilapidated neighborhood. The cliff is about 20 meters high – is the same as a small building.

That’s it. Although, the most desolate District is located right next to District 30 which has a much higher position,… if its this case, people in District 30 will not feel dissatisfied.

If the cliff is as high as this, then no one will be foolish to climb. That’s almost impossible.

However, if you just climb down, then it will be possible.

And now, I’m going to adventure my life to go down the cliff.

As I went back and forth in many districts, the sky was dark.

I have not found any place to stay and have not eaten anything, too. But, I have no money, so I can’t think about it, right.

Anyway, go into District 40 first.

Starting from now, I have no time to hang around outside.

The rumors about me were spread everywhere. If my face is recognized, definitely I will be in danger.

– Suddenly throwing me to another world is like being driven to suicide… But, if I come to another world, I want to be given supernatural power by G.o.d! Only with the health and the stamina of high school students, what can I do?????

The superpower or the divine power, I have nothing.

Maa, although the movement is more flexible than the 36-year-old body …

– Definitely, I will have muscle aches…… Ah, if it’s a teenager body, I may be in pain tomorrow … Ah, whatever!

The fear of the sheer cliff.

Add to the terrible hunger and the exhaustion after walking continuously.

My stamina is going to be limited.

And then…

Suddenly my mind is stunned, my body slips off the cliff and fell into the air.

… f.u.c.k, I will die.

With the feeling of death through my mind, I become depressed.

G.o.d, do you hate me so much like that?

Time of flight is very short. Because I’ve fallen half way.

And then, my body prepared to kiss the ground…

Farewell, everyone!

*Kaboom!*

…Kaboom?

The sound that I just have heard is the sound of water.

Where I fall is a pond.

I am saved…?

When I sit up, the moss fills in my ears.

I remove the moss and look around.

Um. I’m alive.

I feel the smell of the pond. My five senses are still normal.

Ah … A ~ a, my clothes are wet then … I have to find somewhere to dry it. I only have this outfit… oh s.h.i.t!

The pond that I fall deep to my knees, the bottom of pond fills with the soft mud.

Thanks to that I am saved. Although being rotten. Maa, this is still better than the dead. Although being rotten.

When I get up to leave the pond … there is something moving in the pond.

What’s up?

There is something …

When I am holding my breath and watching the pond … a frog appears.

Fuu, just a frog ……………………. Ah, ah, why is it so big?

The frog is about 80 centimeters high, and somehow, it is dressing.

Ah, this is the Frog man, right. Like the Parrot man I have met before.

Well, is he living here?

Maybe, I should say “h.e.l.lo”, right …?

Suddenly falling from the sky, I am like a suspicious person.

Oh no, from an objective standpoint, the frog man is suspicious, right? But, should I respect senpai, right? Because of that…

– H, h.e.l.lo! Nice to meet you!

I’m stiff, but I smile and say h.e.l.lo.

Then, the frog turns toward me and calls out “oop oop”.

It cannot speak?!

What’s this, this city!? The birds can speak, but the frogs cannot? I don’t understand at all.

Okay, whatever.

I have no interest in frog life.

I ignore the frog and get out of the pond.

At that moment, the frog is still staring at me…. Oh my G.o.d, I feel so uncomfortable.

After going to sh.o.r.e and looking around… I am petrified with amazement.

Frogs,…. So many frogs.

Several hundred frogs are around the pond are staring at me.

– Gy, ………………….. gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I scream.

Because that scene is too afraid, right!

Several hundred sticky frogs are 80 centimeters high, stand with two legs and stare at this direction.

It’s the same creepy as the horror movie!

I leave the pond immediately and run for my life.

If I stop, I definitely will be caught by the frogs. I have that feeling.

If I am caught, I definitely will be drowned in the bottom of the pond. No kidding!

In the middle of the road, I hit a wide river.

Although the flow seems quiet but dark, do not know how deep it is.

However, I do not have time to make a detour. Or more exactly, I do not have enough calm.

The frogs can catch me, right.

– Well, jump, ok jump, I am not scared, ok? My outfit will also be cleaned! Killing two birds with one stone, right!

Because of the fear of frogs and darkness, I did not hesitate to jump into the river and try my best to swim… The river is relatively deep.

After going to sh.o.r.e, I start to run without stopping to rest.

I keep running, keep running, and suddenly, I remember my hunger.

And, my energy is exhausted.

I fell on the dirt road.

I’m exhausted.

Looking up at the sky, I see a crescent moon.

Even the moonlight abandons me, too.

… Aa, so bad. What is this, this world.

I am not given a beautiful partner, have no superpower, too.

Scamming the good man who saved me and appropriates their spices. Then, I was treated like the culprit …

Ah, that’s for sure, right.

After all, I am the man who had lived a life that just scams others.

People like me that is blocked lie. Nothing left, right?

Suddenly… I smell the scent in the air.

What a nostalgic scent!

When I was a kid, when I came home late, the smell of dinner floated from the kitchen window to the main door.

That is a warm scent that reminds me of my childhood.

I push the last of my strength o lift myself up and move towards the scent.
