How the Reincarnation Seat Destroys the Original - Chapter 122
Only Noblemtl
Episode 122. Impersonation is a crime (2).
The coastal town of L’Ewen.
Also called a port town, it was also a town where ships and people from neighboring countries across the sea stayed to interact with the empire.
Perhaps because the sea was right next to him, Kael looked out at the port of Lwen, where various large and small ships were anchored, while feeling the salty wind unique to the sea.
The world was heading towards destruction, but perhaps it was because the main stage in the original work was the Tius Empire? Regardless of the destruction, trade was still very active.
When I see this peaceful village that wasn’t even mentioned in the original work, I can’t help but think that this world is going to end. I think I understand why this village became the target of the salty idea.
Kael clicked his tongue inwardly, thought about it for a moment, and turned slightly toward those following him.
The gazes of Lars and Tariq, who had come to Rwen with him to eliminate the salty ideas in Group 1, were directed at the port and ship he had headed to, as well as the people walking around in various clothes.
Kael slowly opened his mouth at the reactions of the two people, as if they were seeing this sight for the first time.
“Is this your first time seeing the port?”
At his voice full of doubt, both of their bodies simultaneously jumped up like springs as if they had been hit right in the face.
“This is my first time being in a place where the sea is this close.”
Lars hesitated for a moment before speaking carefully, and Kael looked at Tariq, who had not yet answered.
I thought it was possible because there was no mention of a village by the sea in the original Larsya, but didn’t Tariq travel all over the empire as a mercenary?
As if he had noticed the question he was having, Tariq’s lips parted as Kael’s gaze turned to him.
“I’ve been in a town with a sea and a port among the commissions I’ve taken on, but this is the first time I’ve seen such a peaceful and bustling place. I apologize for looking so lost in the excitement.”
The apology that was added naturally was a bonus.
Well, how often would a peaceful village like this entrust a task to mercenaries?
Even if there were, it would have been at most an escort mission, and since the nature of escort missions required a lot of time but did not bring in much money, it would not have been suitable for Tariq, who was looking to make a lot of money.
“I see. Well then, let’s get started now.”
Kael, who was easily convinced by his words, looked at the two people who were still moving busily, then spoke and walked away.
As if he had been here before, Lars and Tariq followed him without hesitation, and the place Kael led them to was none other than a restaurant in Rwen.
The restaurant was located in a fairly tall building, and the view of Lwen could be seen straight through the window. Tariq and Lars, who were looking down outside the window, soon looked at Kael, who was ordering dishes with familiar and unfamiliar names, with bewildered expressions.
After finishing his order, Kael met the two bewildered gazes looking at him and shrugged his shoulders.
“They won’t invade right away, so let’s fill our bellies first. It’s been a while since we got here, so it’s past lunchtime.”
As he said, the three of them arrived in Luwen after lunchtime, and since they had set off early in the morning, they were starting to get hungry.
After a while, the food that Kael had ordered began to fill one table after another through the hands of the waiters.
“This is sashimi made with freshly caught fish this morning. You can enjoy it in a different way by dipping it in the red or brown sauce we prepared for you.”
Starting with the unfamiliar dish called ‘hoe’ to Lars and Tariq, their eyes were fixed on the table with a variety of foods such as fried seafood, fish stew, and black pasta, and they did not think about leaving.
“Don’t eat.”
Kael picked up his chopsticks and said.
He first reached for the unfamiliar food, hoe, with his chopsticks. He picked up a piece of raw, opaque white hoe that was clearly uncooked, dipped it lightly in red sauce, and put it in his mouth.
“It’s refreshing. Don’t just sit there blankly. Try eating it.”
In the Empire of Tius, fish is usually eaten either grilled or steamed. Kael said to the two who couldn’t easily reach out for sashimi, and Lars and Tariq reached out for sashimi with expressions that were somehow solemn.
“Ugh… .”
Lars, who dipped the sashimi in red sauce as Kael had demonstrated first and brought it to his mouth, felt relieved by the sweet and sour taste of the sauce that was slightly spicy, but frowned at the unfamiliar, mushy texture he felt when he chewed the sashimi.
“It’s quite tasty. The texture is a bit unfamiliar, but it seems quite sweet.”
Unlike Lars, who couldn’t even chew it a few times and just swallowed the sashimi, Tariq seemed to like the taste of the sashimi and started dipping it in brown sauce as well as red sauce.
“It is said that people from the Eastern Continent mainly eat freshly caught fish like this.”
“Come to think of it, the master and the young lady enjoy food made with ingredients from the Eastern Continent.”
“That’s right. Even at the top of Damie, we handle ingredients from the Eastern Continent. Compared to the past, the types and quantities of ingredients imported from the Eastern Continent have increased significantly.”
“Lily said that among the Eastern continent foods she ate with the young lady, tteokbokki was the most delicious. She said it was the first time she felt stress relieved through food.”
Lars watched Tariq and Kael chatting. Kael, sensing his gaze on them without eating properly, picked up an empty plate and placed fried and steamed food in front of him.
“It might be hard to eat raw fish, but this, Lars, is good for you. Rather than dipping it in red sauce, try dipping it in soy sauce. So, try dipping it in brown sauce.”
“…thank you.”
After a short pause, Lars spoke, and soon he took a bite of the fried food Kael had handed him, dipping it in a sauce called soy sauce.
Crispy – The sound of the fried food breaking apart while still being warm, the chewy texture, the unique savory taste mixed with the taste of soy sauce, made Lars blink his eyes quickly several times.
“It’s delicious… yes.”
“The fried squid is quite tasty. The fried crab meat would also suit your taste.”
The food on the table was quickly emptied, and after finishing the meal, Kael led the two of them out of the restaurant and walked around here and there in Lwen.
In the bustling Rwen Square, where those who came to Rwen for trade set up stalls to sell goods and food, Kael also put another meal into the hands of two people who had just finished eating and whose stomachs were full.
At first, Tariq and Lars were worried that they would have to wipe out those impersonating Ideas who would raid this place, but they found themselves enjoying the time apart from each other as they encountered various objects and people with new vitality.
In particular, Lars stopped in front of a stall and couldn’t take his eyes off the item being sold.
“Isn’t it beautiful? It’s a hairpin made from processed shells and pearls! It’s a very popular product among women these days, so the pin you’re looking at is the last one!”
Kael approached Lars, who was staring blankly at a hairpin with pale pink seashells and small pearls attached to it.
“It would suit Flora Youngae well.”
“Right… .”
Lars’ body flinched as he responded to Kael’s voice, and his white face turned bright red in an instant.
“No, I wasn’t thinking of you specifically!”
“I guess so. Well, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to buy gifts for Lady Flora and Lord Adrina. Tariq is also buying various gifts for Lily and Mabel.”
“We didn’t come here to play.”
Lars spoke to Kael in a rather firm tone, and Kael nodded calmly at his tone.
“I didn’t come here to play, but I thought I could buy something. Oh, by the way, I came here to give you this.”
Kael handed Lars a small pouch, and Lars took it absentmindedly. It didn’t take long for him to realize that the pouch contained money, along with the rustling sound.
“I don’t need this. I have money too.”
Lars’ words were a lie.
Of course, it wasn’t that I didn’t have any money, but it wasn’t enough to buy the items on the stalls that looked quite expensive.
The temple didn’t give him much money, but Lars didn’t like receiving money from Kael.
Kael’s eyebrow rose at Lars’ expression, which seemed strangely hurt.
“Why am I giving you my money? This is money I gave you as a business trip expense. You are free to use it however you want.”
Although he didn’t directly mention it, the only person who would pay for their travel expenses was the Emperor Bastian of this empire. A look of embarrassment crossed Lars’ face at the mention of the money being given directly by the Emperor.
“Then I’ll look around a bit more, so let’s meet in front of the hotel where I’m staying in about an hour.”
After telling them the name of the hotel where they would be staying, Kael left without a second thought, and an hour later, Lars met Kael and Tariq in front of the hotel with a small envelope in his hand.
Entering the triple room of the dorm, Kael washed up faster than anyone else and took the bed right next to the window in light clothing.
Lars asked him, looking unfit to go out.
“Shouldn’t we start getting moving now?”
“It moved, didn’t it?”
“What I mean is, shouldn’t we move towards the purpose for which we came here…?”
“Are you saying that the three of us should guard this vast village of Rwen all night? Because of those who could invade at any moment?”
It was clear that the next place those impersonating Idea would attack was Rwen, but no one there knew when they would attack.
If today were the day of the raid, it wouldn’t matter.
Lars’ mouth snapped shut, speechless at Kael’s words, who pointed out that it could have been a day later, or the day after that.
It wasn’t wrong for him to fulfill the purpose of coming here, but he was too honest. His honest actions felt so tiring to Kael that he sighed lightly and waved his hands.
Following the movement of his hand, screens that seemed to rise into the air and fill the empty, bare walls showed them real-time images of the various places in Luwen they had seen that day.
“Since we don’t know the power of those we’re going to eliminate, we decided that it would be dangerous to move around recklessly, so we’ve hidden an artifact with magic that allows you to see your surroundings while you’re walking around. We’ll take turns checking the screen and wake you up if we see anything strange.”
Kael said as he went into bed with those words.
“Oh, by the way, only two people need to take turns. Unlike you two, I am a normal person with normal dynamic vision, so I can’t see all those screens at once.”
It was a moment that left Lars and Tariq speechless.
