"Well then, thank you for your help."
"What the heck? I'm the one who's grateful that you solved this case. I know it's presumptuous of me to worry about you, but be careful on your way there."
A few days after solving the Guildrum mass coma incident.
After gathering information about the surrounding area at the guild, we said goodbye to the guild master and then decided to leave town.
"Ahh... Even though I was in heat, what on earth was I asking of you, Erio...?! Thank you for all your help... Ah, and please continue to help me from time to time..."
Bernie, whose mating season had finally come to an end, saw us off while hiding behind a pillar, and with his panicked voice behind us, we set off from the town of Guildrum.
We headed north towards Lacent, the capital of the Fang King Federation.
--That said, I didn't head straight for the capital.
The reason he had stopped by the city of Guildrum, home to a large guild, was to get information on the strange incidents and accidents that had recently occurred within the Fang King Federation.
Based on this information, we made detours to several cities.
A money-worshipping female fox beastman who was causing trouble in a certain port town is taught to have joys in life other than making money, and ends up having a sperm showdown with a mermaid...
He gets involved in a variety of cases, from those suspected to be church sabotage to those not, and solves the strange incidents using his Incubus' shameful ability. Meanwhile, he continues his journey, busy with other things, such as working with the ant queen Regina using his Local Wife's warp ability to supply food to Seadoor.
And so, about two weeks had passed since they had traveled to various towns and left Guildrum.
"We've arrived, Erio! This was quite a long-distance journey, so I'm looking forward to the bonus!"
At the same time, Carrie-san, who was carrying us with wind magic, shouted that.
A huge city came into view.
"Wow..."
"...Big."
Sophia and Alicia came out of the "sex room" and let out exclamations of admiration.
Spread out before his eyes was a metropolis that was clearly different in size and grandeur from any of the towns he had visited so far.
The capital of the Fang King Federation - Lacent.
It is a huge royal capital where many roads leading to various regions intersect and the port town is relatively close, so many people and goods gather.
After Sylvia and Sister Claire leave the "sex room" and undergo a rigorous physical check, they enter the city, where they are met with a thronging crowd of people.
In a city this large, in addition to the wide variety of beastmen, there was also a fair proportion of elves, dwarves, humans, and other races, and there were so many different kinds of people roaming around that a party of children like us would get lost in the crowd and not stand out.
"So this is the capital of the Beastman Kingdom... The castle is a bit different from the one in the Imperial Capital and quite unique."
Looking up at the magnificent castle, which can be seen clearly from the entrance to the town, I couldn't help but let out a yell.
They form an alliance with the Fang King Federation to oppose the corrupt church that is targeting the lives of the Holy Knight Alicia and the Oracle Priestess Sister Claire, as well as plotting to invade other countries.
The grandeur of the big city, which is a fitting stage for achieving this great goal, is enough to make one feel a little intimidated.
We were feeling a bit nervous about visiting the capital of a different race for the first time, when...
"What does this mean...?!"
As soon as you enter the town.
Sister Claire's voice trembled.
I wondered what was going on,
"Well, there's a lot of delicious looking alcohol all over town... and it's almost all being handed out for free!"
"Now that you mention it..."
Just as Sister Claire said, alcohol was being served everywhere in the city.
If you look closely, you'll see that the buildings are decorated in a colorful way and the people there are in a cheerful mood.
It seemed like some kind of festival was in progress.
Looking at the unexpected state of the Fanged Federation's capital, Sister Claire let out a whisper .
"Alcohol... local sake served at festivals in the capital..."
"Lady Claire."
Then, Sister Claire, who was drooling, was stopped by her bodyguard, Sylvia.
"Needless to say, our top priority right now is to meet with the current queen of this country, you know?"
"I, I know....kuu."
Sister Claire, as expected, was not so crazy as to prioritize alcohol before the audience. She glanced at the drink reluctantly, but ran through the bustling town as if to shake off the temptation, leading us straight to the royal castle.
*
At the base of the soaring royal castle, there was a counter where representatives of the various guilds and townspeople could apply to see the king. I showed up at the counter with a favorable impression of the Fang King Federation, which had a system in place to listen to petitions from the people other than just royalty and nobility, but...
"Excuse me, is it okay to request an audience with the Queen here?"
"...Huh?"
Even though commoners are allowed to apply for an audience, we were a party of children under the age of 18. Moreover, everyone except for Sophia, a werewolf, was human. The boar beastman man at the reception desk looked at us suspiciously, and it looked like he might kick us out at any moment.
Well, that's only natural...
So I immediately took out the two important items I had prepared.
One is a guild card showing that I am an S-class adventurer.
The other was a letter from Olivia, the tiger beastman and lord of the frontline city of Seadoor.
Of course, this letter is no ordinary letter of introduction.
The letter was sealed with wax using a special magic item , and the letter itself served as some kind of identification sealIng
"Huh...?!"
When the receptionist was handed it, his eyes widened in shock and he froze.
"A-a prank...!? A-no, but if you forge something like this, even a child would know it's no joke... Wait a moment! B-Chief! Corpse Chief!"
The man at the reception let out a shriek-like yell and retreated deeper into the building.
