Tausen Kingdom was a country located in the southeast of the Western Continent.
The easternmost kingdom on the Western Continent was the Column Kingdom, which previously made a fuss with the Central Continent. Tausen Kingdom was located south of it.
Geographically, it was the second-closest kingdom to the Central Continent after the Column Kingdom, and was a maritime nation with many port towns.
Therefore, although not as much as the Column Kingdom, it also trades directly with the Central Continent.
The port town of Tausen Kingdom was the first place that Kousuke and his group landed on when they left the Central Continent by boat, calling it a recreational trip.
This time, they didn’t fly or use magic, but came to this port town by proper boat route.
In this world where transportation was not very well-developed, travel was also one of the best parts of traveling.
Kousuke, who had no financial problems, rented a first-class room and enjoyed an elegant voyage.
The food that was served was well-prepared, considering that they were on a ship.
After thoroughly enjoying the boat ride, Kousuke and his friends finally set foot on the land of Tausen Kingdom.

“It’s a pretty atmospheric port town.”
“That’s right.”
The city of Sauri is one of the three largest cities among the many port towns in the Tausen Kingdom.
The townscape, in Kousuke’s opinion, was unified with mud-walled buildings with a Middle Eastern white and yellowish color scheme.
As expected of a large port town, many people gathered at the shops lining the main street and the outdoor stalls spread out here and there.
Incidentally, Crown had not yet established a branch office on the Western Continent, but it was expected that the first one to be established would be in Tausen Kingdom.
This was because the Column Kingdom had been messing with the Central Continent in the past, and its relationship with Razequa Amamiya was not so good.
For this reason, Crown was paying attention to the Tausen Kingdom, which was the next place they wanted to focus their trading with.
Meanwhile, Tausen Kingdom’s economy was improving as its trade with Razequa Amamiya increased.
The good relationship that had continued until now was leaning towards the discussion of establishing a branch office.
As Kousuke’s group walked through the port town, they bought food at the outdoor stalls lined up.
Meanwhile, Kousuke was being subjected to nostalgic gazes.
The same stares fixed on Kouhi and Mitsuki, and in contrast, jealous glares towards Kousuke.
When he thought about it, while Nana was with them, it had been a really long time since the three of them had walked around town like this.
Despite becoming a living god, Kousuke’s facial features did not change so much, so in a way it was only natural that he would be subjected to such stares when he walked with two women who could be called peerless beauties.
In particular, the men’s gazes seemed to be filled with resentment, as if to say, ‘Why you?’.
If a gaze had the power to kill a person, Kousuke would undoubtedly have been killed a hundred times over.
Fortunately, there was no one with such power, so he was able to walk safely while ignoring the glares.
Of course, the two beside him would never allow such an attack to actually occur.
Keeping an eye on the shops and stalls on the main street, the group looked for a place to stay for the night.
If they were in a familiar place, they would have searched for a hidden Inn in the backstreets, but in a new place, they could not afford such an adventure.
“Well, what should we do about lodging?”
“Why not ask after you’ve updated your adventurer registration while you’re at it?”
Mitsuki suggested, and Kousuke pondered.
It was true that the Adventurer’s Guild introduced lodgings that match each person’s rank.
However, they might get introduced to lodgings that didn’t match that rank.
Kousuke and his group were pretty high-ranking as adventurers, but not high enough to be introduced to luxury lodgings.
Although Kousuke’s rank as an adventurer was a little low, he had a huge fortune just from the materials and magic tools they sold through Schmitt.
In a way, there was no problem for them if they decided to stay in a first-class luxury lodging for several nights.
Kousuke was also interested in what it would be like to stay in a luxury room at a luxury lodging in this new town anyway.
“If we go by that route, they might not introduce us to any high-end inns, right?”
“Well, I suppose so. Should we simply look for a luxury place to stay?”
“I thought it would be nice to do once in a while.”
“But don’t most places like that turn away first timers?”
Kousuke agreed with Kouhi’s remark.
An inn that lets anyone just show up and get in like Kousuke and his group was likely to be taking advantage of their customers.
“Well, it can’t be helped this time. Let’s just ask the guild to introduce us to one.”
Both Kouhi and Mitsuki nodded in agreement at Kousuke’s words.
In a way, Kousuke was simply curious about staying at a high-end inn, but he was not that picky.
In the end, just like Mitsuki said, they had to renew their adventurer registration first, and then the guild would introduce them to an inn.

“This completes the update process.”
The receptionist at the Adventurer’s Guild said this and took out a card.
There was no Crown branch in Tausen Kingdom, but the guilds were still connected, so if they had a Crown Card, the Guild could use that as a basis to issue a Guild Card that could be used on the Western Continent.
This time, they were issued Guild Cards based on the Crown Cards that each of them had.
They had three Crown Cards that were ranked C, but to Gazeran, he could only call this
rank fraud’.
However, when Kousuke and the others took out their cards, the receptionist was surprised at their rank.
The surprise of the receptionist was that Kousuke and the others have risen to C rank at such a young age.
However, that was only in appearance, and it did not really determine their age since the three had hardly changed in appearance at all since they met.
By the way, the moment the receptionist saw Kousuke’s Crown Card, she looked like a beast stalking its prey, but Kousuke ignored her.
After that, he saw her sigh when she saw Kouhi and Mitsuki, and he did not miss it.
“Thank you. So I’d like to ask, can you recommend us a good inn?”
“Inn, huh? Why of course.”
Kousuke concluded that such requests must have been quite common, as the receptionist immediately introduced several inns.
As expected, the inns she introduced were places that matched the rank.
These Inns were characterized by being affiliated with guilds, so there was no chance for them to be a bad inn.
On the other hand, if the inn was bad, it would be removed from the partnership, so the inn would become desperate to survive.
That said, it was normal for them not to be removed unless they are awfully managed.
After listening to the receptionist’s story, they narrowed down the options to a few inns and headed there.
Kousuke also received a proper guild introduction letter.
He had multiple copies because there were times when there were no rooms available when he went to an inn.
The receptionist also followed with, “There are no big events around this time, so I think it will be fine.”
Fortunately, the Inn the receptionist had recommended the most was not fully booked, and he was able to enter right away.
Compared to Inns of the same rank, the price was set higher, so the receptionist was reluctant to recommend it, but when Kousuke said he didn’t mind, the receptionist strongly pushed for it.
“I see, it’s certainly a nice Inn judging by the room.”
“That’s right.”
Mitsuki agreed with Kousuke’s impression.
Judging from the interior of the room, it seemed like it was worth the price.
The next problem was the food, but the receptionist had especially recommended it, so judging by the room, it looked promising.
After a short break, the group headed to the dining room full of anticipation.
