Orc Harem Vol 2 Chapter 8

Chapter 8: Orc-san And Holy Land

.

My bait had caught a big fish, so I returned back from the traveling market in great satisfaction.

Tita was looking around curiously.

「Strange, everyone can just use the carriage to sleep, so why are there people renting tent equipments here?」

It was just as Tita said, there were tents set up around the market for rent. The business was quite bustling.

「There are two uses of them, first is the people who scrimped on the admission fee thinking that even just the third class is fine just learned that the trip is harsher than they imagined, so they rent the tent because they want to at least stretch out their body at night. But if they’re going to do that, then they should buy the second class seat from the start. The expenses will be cheaper that way. It’s a failure that they only realize after trying it for the first time.」

After all it would be really torturous to be packed like sardines inside the horse carriage in this season.

「Hee, so that’s why. What’s the other reason?」

「It’s obvious if you look closer. Like that tent, the people inside are moving around intensely, and there is also coquettish voice coming from there.」

「……R-right, I get it now. They must have it hard riding in the carriage where everyone is jam packed.」

There wasn’t enough entertainment in a long trip, so there were many couples who vented stress like that when night came.

「Aa, I don’t plan to do it even in our own room okay? Although our carriage has good quality, it’s still a carriage in the end. It’ll be obvious from the outside if we’re doing it, and our voices will also leak out.」

「If it’s you Ork, I thought that you wouldn’t mind that kind of thing and still do it.」

「I’m the only one who is allowed to hear Tita making that kind of voice.」

「……You are really possessive even though you’re fully motivated to lay your hands on other girls one after another.」

「Do you dislike that?」

「Nope, I’m happy that you want to monopolize me for yourself! Then, let’s go back.」

We returned to our room.

「Also, what kind of business you are planning to do with that uncle Ork? I didn’t understand it because the document got a lot of difficult words.」

「You will learn it soon. It’s a business with really big scale.」

After all it was using a method that was discovered in my previous world.

Of course, there was no way I could be successful in this world just by having knowledge from my previous world. I could make use of that knowledge only because I had gotten trained by the merchant god Randall, learned the knowledge of this world, and had the ability to put my knowledge into practice.

「Is that so, I’m looking forward to it then. I have to study hard so that I can quickly help out.」

Tita was a studious person.

In elf village something like currency wasn’t used. A part of the elf didn’t even know about the concept of money itself.

And yet, Tita was able to understand the gist of things from listening to my story.

Unexpectedly, she might be able to become first class merchant if she was trained.

In the first place she already had a great weapon……merchant occupation was unexpectedly a job where appearance was important. Sadly human was a creature that felt good appearance outside was a good indicator of what was inside.

In other words, the prettier someone was the easier it was to trust them. That was why first class merchant would polish their senses, dress immaculately, and decorate themselves further.

◇

A week after we left the city.

We were being shaken by the horse carriage too today.

「Uuu, I’m sick of this bread already.」

Tita nibbled on the bread that had jam spread on it with a grimace.

She didn’t have much appetite today.

「Yeah, there are many kinds of food at night, but there are only a few of them that can last to still be eaten the next day.」

The stalls of the traveling market had abundant variety. They could eat something different every night, but they couldn’t do so for the lunch.

「They should just hold the market at noon too.」

「The trip will get even longer if they do that.」

Quite some time was needed in order to stop the caravan and set up the market.

「……It can be helped, than just this once.」

I cut the rye bread that had long preservation time like it was a loaf of bread.

Then I put a cheese slice on it, and gouged the center to make a hollow in it.

In addition I dropped an egg on it and called for fire spirits.

Sizzling sound could be heard gradually. The cheese melted and the egg was fried.

I stopped the fire when the fried egg was half fried, sprinkled salt, and it was finished.

「Here, a freshly baked egg cheese sandwich ~sky castle style~」

「Uwaa, it look delicious. Can I eat it?」

「I made it for you.」

「It’s tasty. The half cooked egg and the melty cheese are the best.」

The cheese stretched and formed a bridge between Tita’s mouth and the toast.

It looked unbearably delicious.

Cheese wasn’t used in the original recipe, but it looked like the right decision to use it.

「But, how is this sandwich a sky castle style?」

「Well, that’s just the feeling.」

I’m lying.

I had wanted to eat this all this time after watching that masterpiece.

I even stuffed knife and lamp inside my bag for that.

Pa○u split his bread into two, but I was a well prepared orc, so I had the ingredients for two people properly.

I quickly the portion for mine too.

Yep, it was tasty.

I wonder just why Ghi○li’s food looked that delicious.

Next time let’s bake herring pie or pumpkin pie, no, it was also hard to discount meatball spaghetti.

Cagli○stro wasn’t Ghi○li, but in my mind it was categorized among the Gh○bli family.

「You are thinking of something strange again.」

Tita was staring fixedly at me. She found me out huh. I was an orc whose thought would show up on my face.

「I’m not thinking of anything strange. I’m just thinking what kind of delicious food I should give to Tita next.」

「You’re unexpectedly thinking of something decent Ork. Or rather, I’m happy that you’re thinking of something like that. Sorry to accuse you strangely like that. I’m looking forward to it.」

「Yeah, look forward to it. You still haven’t tried all the Gh○bli food after all.」

「I won’t ask you what that mean. You won’t tell me even if I ask anyway.」

「You will understand it one day.」

If my ambition came true, than Ghi○bli food would also spread out in this world.

Publishing past famous works as my works in this world. It wasn’t like I would do that because I was craving for limelight or money, I just wanted people to know about those wonderful tales.

I also wanted to have a passionate discussion with my beloved women about those masterpieces.

It would become a war when talking about what was the most interesting thing about Gh○bli, but it would be really fun too.

By the way, this wasn’t the plan that I was working together with Zacharic to do.

The hurdle to publish light novel was high in this continent that had low rate of literacy. It would be difficult to propagate it, and it was technologically impossible to turn it into movie.

And so I pondered between turning those works into manga or picture book before choosing to make them into picture book due to the reason of the people in this world didn’t know the way to read manga.

At present the progress of this project was rough going. It was difficult to create a picture book that wouldn’t harm the charm of Gh○bli.

However, if this project was completed, I would make full use of money to distribute it through the city for free, or hire people who could read to read the book for other people in the middle of the city.

「I won’t stop you Ork if you are having fun. After all it will surely make me have fun too.」

「That’s a promise.」

If it was Tita than she should like it, absolutely.

We finished eating and tidied up the place. It was then the carriage was starting to slow down.

I looked outside from the window.

「It looks like we finally arrived. At the holy land where the sword of oracle is, the city where the divine steel tribe is living, Slavar.」

There was a mountain at the center of that city. The city was extending as though to surround that mountain.

That mountain wasn’t just a mountain. It was the only mine in the world where orichalcum could be mined.

The divine steel tribe was the only tribe in the world that could process orichalcum.

……Though strictly speaking, the great sage Merlin Enlight could also do it if he used a secret trick.

The divine steel tribe was the only tribe that could process the orichalcum wasn’t because of a matter of skill, but because their special bloodline contained power that reacted with orichalcum. That was what my teacher told me.

I was extremely interested.

「The city is pretty. All the houses are created from white stone.」

「The special stone that can be mined from that mountain is called chalk stone. It’s tough with extremely high heat resistance. It’s the best material for a house. And most of all it’s beautiful. Just this scenery is already enough to justify coming here.」

「Yep, it’s really lovely. I want to try living in that kind of house one day.」

「I see, then perhaps I should buy a mansion like that. I can also buy the stones to build the mansion myself.」

「You sound like you aren’t joking but speaking seriously.」

「Yeah, that’s because I’m serious. I want to have good thing, and if it can make Tita happy than all the more so.」

Either way, our mansion right now was a rental. I planned to build our own mansion when the contract expired.

Buying chalk stones and building my own house was a good idea.

「You really can do anything Ork.」

「I was trained to be like that……even so, I don’t have the money to buy enough chalk stones to build a house, so that will be for quite later in the future. More importantly, let’s get off from the carriage. It will be faster to walk from here.」
