Luxury is the Enemy
It is sudden, but!
"May I take some time off to travel with Wince for a while?"
Easter is over and all is well
I asked Delna that.
"You have work, though? No, in the first place, it would be a problem if you asked me as I'm just a priest."
"Is that so?"
Or rather, what is Delna's rank?
"What are the ranks of the priests in the Empire?"
"From the bottom, deacon, priest, pastor, and bishop. Above them is Yukikaze-sama."
"What is Yukikaze’s position?"
"God?"
"God, huh."
"God. Above Yukikaze-sama is Wince-sama, and above that, Lute-sama stands."
Isn't Delna a pretty high-ranking person?
Also, before I went to sleep, the priesthood was divided into lower, intermediate, and upper class, but apparently, that has been revised.
"Then who should I ask?"
"What about Yukikaze-sama and Emperor Elberait?"
"Then I'll ask them."
"I understand. By the way, lunch will be [stir-fried beans and venison with horse milk cream], [bread mixed with spices], and [leaf vegetable soup]."
"Okay, I'll ask them quickly. Don't eat everything, okay?"
"If you come back early, there will be plenty left over."
That's what he said, but.
You guys have bigger appetites than I do.
If I'm a little late, my refill always runs out.
----------
"So, I'd like your permission to travel."
"It's too sudden, Lute-sama."
That's Elberait's response
I'm not leaving right now.
When I can afford it.
Also, there's no need for an escort.
I want the two of us to travel to the empire undercover.
"Is Wince-sama okay with it?"
"No problem. We won't be running, I'll carry her on my back in case of an emergency."
"No, did you get her approval?"
"Yes."
What time? It's the night of the festival.
[There's a nice place], Wince invited me, and when we headed there, I found a beautiful puddle.
The two of us, who don't know anything about dance, came up with something similar to that.
"Where are you going?"
"Well, first we're going to Edgeworth Territory."
It has been completely abandoned for 80 years.
I mean, I understand from the information, but I haven't seen it.
And Shisu...
I'd like to at least say hello to my son-in-law's descendants.
"After that, it's Bardonacia territory and the Dragon Mountain."
"Is that it?"
"Of course not."
"That's right..."
After that, we'll head to the territories of Ulfrika, Kusuof, and Suitka.
"The Empire will have no problem with that. It's all in the Empire's territory."
"Then what's left is Yukikaze."
"Well, I think you can get permission... Ah, I thought of something good."
Elberait comes up with something with a big smile.
"Did you know that a new locomotive will be put into operation in 35 days?"
"No, I don't know."
"It's a luxury train for wealthy people and nobles. It's a locomotive which prioritizes comfort over speed."
"Heh..."
"I would like to hear your impressions."
"Isn’t it expensive?"
"It's expensive. Quite a bit."
"How much?"
Let's learn a little about imperial finances here.
When I first woke up and met Wince
Lodging costs 8 copper coins and meals cost 3 copper coins.
No, Wince was just saving money, it actually costs a little more.
That's a day's expense
So what about now?
The expenses of a typical three-parent family
30 copper coins in one day
The cost of staying at a cheap inn is one silver coin.
Inflation is happening
However, it does not mean that they are living in poverty.
A typical daily income is about 5 silver coins.
Well, that's a matter of personal preference.
It seems that the number of poor people is definitely decreasing. It's not zero, so we still need to make an effort.
Let's get back to the topic
"That's 25 gold coins per station."
"It’s expensive!"
If you were a commoner... five silver coins a day...
"Will 50 days of work be blown away in one day?"
"Well, it’s for nobles."
"I'd better walk. I'm too scared to ride it..."
I'm sorry, but I have to decline.
Or a regular locomotive is fine.
It must have cost 10 copper coins per station.
"No, of course, the Temple and the Empire will pay for it."
"That's a luxury."
It is impossible to go out to play with tax money.
It's a trip completely unrelated to work.
"I see, I understand."
"You understand?"
Yes, walking is important too.
