Ore no Ongaeshi: High Spec Murazukuri

Episode 36: The City of the Other World

A few days to leave the village of Uld and be rocked by a carriage.

We arrived in the city of Orn.

"Is this the streets of Orn?"

"Yes, Mr. Yamato. It's the famous city of Orn."

After completing the process at the castle gate on the outer wall of the city, we will enter the city with a cargo wagon convoy from Uld.

Lisha, the girl sitting next to your podium, asks for Orn's description as she goes down the boulevard.

"Is it a big city category, what is this place?

"Yes, it is one of the leading cities in the northern part of the continent"

Here in Orn, where the three streets intersect, is an urban state that has flourished in trade. Taisho is ruling the city with a hereditary system, not a royal system.

Sometimes the closest city from Uld, Riesha, the village chief's granddaughter, said she had visited Orn many times.

I'll leave what happens in the city to her.

"Let's head to the Inn with the Horse Shop first, Mr. Yamato"

"Village chief's letter of recommendation will work."

"Yes, there's no need for cumbersome procedures over there"

We'll take a carriage down the city's boulevard to one of our lodgings.

The story of the village chief before his departure said that it was an inn where the people of Uld had long stayed when they visited the city.

It is also run by a master who is kind to the people of Urd, a different people of the North.

After completing the accommodation process at the Inn, we plan to head to the market (Bazaar) in the Grand Square in the heart of the city of Orn.

The purpose is to sell the specialties of the village that are loaded in the wagon, and it also combines my market research.

"All right. Let's go, then."

"Yes, Brother Yamato!

"Yeah, brother Yamato"

The children of the Uld and Han tribes are not tired of long journeys at all.

As always, with healthy children, they went first for the inn.

We came to the main square of the city of Orn after we proceeded safely in our permanent residence.

"Is this the market in Orn (Bazaar)"

"Yes, it's a free city where anyone can buy and sell if you pay for a place"

"I see."

Orn's market (Bazaar) was vibrant.

Small, private shops are laid throughout the square, and a variety of products are arranged.

Rare fruit and oriental glossy fabrics from the South. Rare ceramics and groceries are piled high and bustling with the voices of energetic sellers.

"This is where we sell today, Mr. Yamato"

"It's a lot at the edge of the square."

"We arrived late so we'll be aiming for a better place tomorrow"

"Oh."

After all, places to sell will be popular.

For today, like any other seller, prepare it by laying it across the market (bazaar) for each wagon.

The pulling horse is kept at a nearby horse shop, the laying cloth is spread out and Uld's specialty products are arranged.

"Line up the products and do the rest, Mr. Riesha. I'm gonna do a little inspection."

"Yes, Mr. Yamato. I'll take care of the rest."

Leave it to Risha and the kids if you are preparing products or selling customer service. I'm not good with people.

It would be wise to leave it to them.

(Well, what is it...)

I'm on my own heading to market research in the square.

Anyway, having moved from modern Japan, I am unaware of the political and economic situation in this world.

In fact, with your own eyes, check on the market (Bazaar) and the city of the other world.

Stroll through the city and market (Bazaar) of Orn, a different world.

"Exactly medieval civilization."

Crush one person while inspecting the city. Of course I speak with my voice down so that no one will hear me.

"Medieval European-style world."

The city of Orn has a resemblance to such a civilization on Earth.

Stone and colorful painted wall buildings are erected, and the clothes and ingredients of those waiting are often western-style.

Riesha's story says the northern part of the continent has this kind of atmosphere.

"Trading is the monetary economy through unified coins. Is language unified in a common continental language?"

In the story of the village chief, the currency and language of the continent have long been united.

This is said to be a remnant of the era of the "super empire”, which united the entire continent in ancient times.

The ruling class of the super empire was a nation with special abilities (one or the other), dominating the continent by overwhelming force.

Forced commonality of all languages, religions, currencies, units, etc.

They say there is still commonalisation because of the age of the super empire over the years.

"You really have different races. But the“ subhuman ”..."

Orn is sometimes a trading city, with different skin and hair colors and facial races.

But "subhuman" to the genus… we have not seen mixed races such as beasts and reptiles so far.

The Gatons and the Mountain Hole tribe are also different races from people. But they look like people, and they're friendly.

"Nevertheless... the products lined up are of much lower quality"

This is my honest opinion of the products lined up in the market (Bazaar).

Specifically, the level of materials and workmanship is clearly lower than that of folk art and workmanship in the village of Uld.

"'The skill of the people of Uld is excellent'... I see, is this what you mean"

Talks about Riesha and the old blacksmith Gaton say that processing and crafts in the village of Uld have long been traded at high prices in the city.

Leather products, fabric textiles, iron products and furs were also popular with pedestrians, he said.

"I see... this is your chance to make a deal"

Looking around at the market (Bazaar), I grasped the economic situation in the city of Orn.

The value (brand) of Uld is higher than you can imagine.

Uld's products, which I thought were on the periphery and less civilized, are actually of high quality and rare value and will be sold.

Based on this, I was confident that the resumption of the transaction would make life in the village better in the future.

"All right... it's time to go back to everyone"

Rough market research has also been completed and it is decided to return to where Uld's merchandise is sold.

It's been a while since I opened the store, so I'm just curious about selling it.

(... hmm?

But something is wrong.

There's a crowd in front of the Wood store, and it's kind of noisy.

"Yamato, help me!

The girl Risha is back. She wants my help.

While I was away, the children of the village were in some kind of trouble.
