Isekai Nonbiri Nouka

Chapter 311

There is a certain distance from my mansion to Big Tree Dungeon at the south part of the village .

It is roughly a little more than 2 kilometers .

Is it near or is it far? It depends upon the person in question .

For me, it’s a little far .

From the entrance of Big Tree Dungeon to the teleportation gate of either Village Five or hot spring area, it will be a 15-minute walk .

Is it near or is it far? It depends upon the person in question .

For me, it’s a little far .

I’ll be honest .

During winter, going to Village Five and the hot spring area were a bit of a hassle .

I think it should be more convenient .

However, that will sacrifice our crime prevention measures .

That’s the first thing we talked about before .

I won’t complain because of that .

However, there are those people who go to Village Five to work and at night, there are people who’ll go to the hot spring .

I can’t think of anything but consider those people’s round trip as a waste .

Therefore, I would like to propose a stagecoach .

First, the round trip from my mansion to the entrance of the Big Tree Dungeon .

I want regular service at a fixed schedule .

Next, from the entrance of Big Tree Dungeon to the two teleportation gates .

There will be a coach waiting by for each route at the entrance of the dungeon and they will move as soon as the commuters arrive .

When they arrive at the location of the teleportation gate, they’ll drop off the commuters and return to the entrance even without anyone else riding .

Considering crime prevention, there’s only one route in the dungeon .

I want it to have a total of three routes .

I called for a race meeting and confided my idea .

After repeated discussion, I thought that it would be good if we can start if we can operate one route starting next year .

But that wasn’t the case .

We suddenly started making a carriage .

Me and the mountain elves already have the hang of it so we will be able to complete it in no time .

… .

Areh?

We don’t have to build a new carriage, don’t we?

There are several carriages in Big Tree Village .

There are four wagons for carrying crops, two carriages without hood, one luxurious carriage, and one camping coach .

As for me, I originally planned to use a carriage without hood as it is .

「Let’s make a proper carriage . 」

I guess it’s okay since the mountain elves are making it with passion .

Within a few hours, one was completed .

It is a passenger type carriage with suspension .

It has a roof as an anti-rain measure and the walls were removed to make getting on and getting out easier .

As for the size, it is a seven-seater including the coachman .

Test drive .

But before that, there was an argument whether to have a horse or a centaur to pull the carriage .

The horse seems to have won this time .

The satisfied-looking horse pulls the wagon .

Yeah, there seems to be no problem .

Next, making a carriage for the dungeon .

No roof is required because it will be used inside the dungeon .

Considering sharp curves, we made a smaller one .

It’s a four-seater with no coachman seat .

… . .

It looks like a bicycle-drawn cart with four wheels and chairs installed on it .

It’s simple so it only took an hour to complete .

Test drive .

This time, instead of a horse or a centaur, a lamia from the dungeon will pull it .

「Is it alright?」

「Yes . We find it encouraging to play a role . I mean it . 」

I was thinking of leaving the carriage pulling to the centaurs since they love it but if they are this motivated, let’s leave it to the lamias .

Instead of pulling the carriage using hand, the lamia used the end of her tail to grip the carriage .

There’s enough power .

Hnn… . what’s this?

The vibration is different .

It is very comfortable .

The carriage arrived at the place where the teleportation gate is in about five minutes .

The kuros and the spiderlings took the lead . Although we took the shortest route, they get rid of all the obstacles so it’s fast .

I’m satisfied .

With this, we will be able to go to Village Five in ten minutes .

The ones who are most pleased are Yoko and Celes who go there every day .

Or so I thought . The most pleased was the females of Big Tree Village .

It is now easier to go to the hot spring area .

It looks like everyone thinks that it’s far .

Thus, the number of bicycle-drawn like carriage that’s used inside the dungeon has increased . Eight of them are now in operation .

The lamias are not enough so the big spiderlings and titans pulled them too .

Next time, let’s gather those carriage pullers and have a banquet as acknowledgment of their hard work .

A little while after the commuting carriages became operational, Village Five received guests .

Those guests came over to pick up the dwarves in the prison .

They are also dwarves .

First of all, they apologize for the lawlessness and rudeness of the dwarves who are currently imprisoned .

As a nuisance fee, they paid the village four large casks of ore .

As for Youko, since the dwarves in the prison also expressed remorse, she agreed to release them .

Or not .

The dwarves who came over did not demand the liberation of the imprisoned dwarves .

「They didn’t come here to take the imprisoned dwarves?」

「They want them to be punished according to the law of the village . 」

「Then, what did they come here for?」

「To apologize and to pay nuisance fee . That’s it… . . 」

One of the dwarves offered his ax to Youko .

「This is wonderful . 」

「I forged it myself . 」

「Really? Are you gifting this to me?」

「I don’t mind but I have a request . 」

「What is it?」

「I heard that in this village, there are weapons that are forged using magic iron powder, is that true?」

「Yes . It’s a little pricey but you can buy them in a store . 」

「Were they forged here?」

「…… . you can say that . 」

「Then, I want you to show this ax to the person who made those weapons . 」

「Is that all?」

「Yes . We are staying at the inn on the south, it is called… . . what’s the name again?」

「If it’s the one near the foot of the mountain, it is called “Cat’s Eye Pavillion” . If you’re hungry I recommend “Firefox Pavillion” . 」

「 “Cat’s Eye Pavillion”, we’ll stay there . 」

That said, the dwarves group who were supposed to pick up the imprisoned dwarves, left .

In Big Tree Village, the beastkin Gutt and his two apprentices are forging an armor using magic iron powder .

Gutt was on fire after seeing the ax brought by Youko .

「 Village Chief! That’s a challenge!」

It looks like a normal ax tome but it seems like there’s a hidden message .

「 We need a place to have a match!」

That’s what happened .
