Chapter 186.1. It’s A Trip!
Mii-chan and others left their luggage at a ryokan in Kamakura and decided to stay overnight. Everything was going according to plan.
The beautiful town, adorned with blooming holy flowers, showcased a picturesque landscape as other flowers bloomed in springtime.
Even though the town had only been rebuilt for half a year, it was bustling with many people. With spring break in progress, numerous families with children were among the tourists.
There were plans to turn this place into a tourist destination, so the ruins of houses and buildings were demolished, and now souvenir shops and hotels stood side by side.
There were also izakayas and inexpensive apartments for adventurers who earned their living in the direction of Tokyo.
This place feels like a world of magic. They can construct a hotel in just one month, including the interior. Houses, on the other hand, can be built in a matter of days.
It’s even possible to build something in a single day with magic. It’s like a fantasy world.
Mii-chan, who has been here multiple times, but Yamiyo and the others are gazing at bustling Kamakura with curious expressions.
Fantasy-adorned adventurers, such as warriors wearing metal armor or magicians wielding staffs, walk the streets.
Beside them, families and couples are amazed by the spectacle of flower petals swirling as they gaze at the flower fields.
Children in school uniforms choose souvenirs from souvenir shops, while the shopkeepers energetically invite many customers.
It was a lively and chaotic world full of hustle and bustle.
The crowds were so intense that it was difficult to walk. This town is a popular tourist spot this year and serves as a base for adventurers, exuding an atmosphere of ongoing development.
“It’s been a while, but it’s completely different from last time.”
“Yeah~. We might get swallowed up by the crowd. Gurgle~”
.
“So, this lively town is managed by the Takano family and the druids, huh?”
The three of them looked around with curious expressions. Seeing them like this, I think they’re just children of their age.
Mii-chan, being an adult, wears a calm smile and acts composed.
“Welcome! Try our famous Kamakura-style manju!”
“How about cookies with holy flowers? Perfect as souvenirs!”
“Would you like some soft-serve ice cream?”
“Try our specialty Kamakura crepes! They’re delicious! How about Kamakura crepes?”
Stores lined the roadside, and there were food stalls as well. Mature for her age, Mii-chan nodded approvingly, keeping her composure.
“Oh, they have manju! Can we try it? Are the cookies freshly baked? Oh, soft-serve ice cream. Let’s start with the famous Kamakura crepes.”
I darted around, peeking into various shops. Since I would need manju to eat at the ryokan, I bought a box. The cookies were for papa, mama, Hoku-chan, and the servants. They would have the soft-serve ice cream tomorrow, so for now, it was time for Kamakura crepes.
The petite girl hurriedly ran around, buying things left and right. Mii-chan, the mature girl, was focused on selecting souvenirs for everyone.
“Here are your Kamakura crepes. Please leave it to me! One Kamakura crepe, coming right up!”
The young shop staff skillfully prepared the crepes with nimble hands. Mii-chan was captivated, watching eagerly as the shop staff made the crepes with superb skill.
The staff added cream, layer it with chocolate cream on top, and sprinkle of nuts followed before folding it.
“You’re quite skilled, aren’t you?”
“Hehe, I’ll whip it up in no time. I’m accustomed to it, you know.”
“But what makes it Kamakura? Miss, can you explain?”
It looks like an ordinary chocolate cream crepe.
What makes it Kamakura?
Tilting my head in curiosity, I gaze with ice-blue eyes.
“This is the famous Kamakura Crepe!”
On top of the crepe, they place a scoop of vanilla ice cream from the freezer and hand it over with a proud expression.
“The inside of that ice cream is hollow. Kamakura, Kamakura Crepe. Haha, it’s the best as a specialty, isn’t it?”
With a hand covering their mouth, the staff member laughs amusingly. I see.
It’s Kamakura. It’s Kamakura. It’s like a snow hut.
“The famous Kamakura Crepe! I see. It’s because of Kamakura! That’s awesome!”
They hollowed out the inside like a Kamakura snow hut. The idea of combining Kamakura and Kamakura snow hut is genius.
Our face lights up with a twinkle, satisfied with the explanation.
The two of them chuckle together.
It will surely become a well-established specialty in Kamakura.
“Yamiyo-chan, Tamamo-chan, Se-chan, it’s delicious! Let’s eat!”
With cream sticking to Mii-chan’s lips, she munches on the crepes.
They must have carefully selected the crepe skins.
The crepes won’t be complete without quality skins.
Turning into Takano Mii-zan, I continue munching. Maybe I’ll have another one.
“I’ll have the same as Mii-sama.”
“Yay, Tamamo wants the one with strawberries!”
“As for me… Hmm, what should I get?”
Everyone places their orders for crepes, creating a heartwarming atmosphere.
Nimue casually joins in and tries to order as well.
“Well, well, we’re still far from reaching the inn.”
“It’s a good thing we reduced the guards’ number…”
Kongou-neesan and the martini man say with exasperated looks.
Having nearly a hundred guards in this crowd would be incredibly troublesome, so I reduced it to a few.
“It’s like rush hour, huh?”
“Not to that extent, but it’s still an incredibly crowded place. Guards have it tough.”
While munching on ham and crepes, I understand that guards have a difficult job.
It wouldn’t be surprising if pickpockets appeared. I hope the public safety is alright.
Observing the crowd, the three of us absentmindedly wonder what crepes to order.
When I was standing absentmindedly on the street, it happened.
Sensing a presence, I swiftly move aside.
“Ouch!”
Someone passes by Mii-chan and collapses backward. Ouch, that looked painful.
