Chapter 270 It Seems Like my Talking Skills Isnt Worthy Enough Yet (1/2)

After staying the night, this is the second day here in the Hydra Kingdom.

I woke up pretty early, and since I don’t have anything much to do, I thought I should take a stroll, so I’m currently walking along the shore in the dim morning light.

As expected of a port city, many people seem to be working early in the morning, and the city is quite lively.

While listening to the noisy but enjoyable hustle and bustle, as I continued with my leisurely walk…… I arrived at a slightly different place.

There were a number of people here and there, all holding a long, thin stick…… fishing pole in their hands and were fishing in the sea.

It seems that this place is a fishing spot and there are all kinds of people of differing ages fishing here.

Hmmm. Fishing huh…… I’ve never tried fishing in the sea before, but it looks fun. If I had the chance, I’d like to try it out.

[Nuooohh, mmnngghh, this is…… a big one!?]

[……Unnn?]

[Nuooohh, kuku….. T- That young man over there! Help me out for a bit here!]

[Eh? Ah, yes!]

As I walked along watching the scenery, the rod of a white bearded old man in the corner of my eyes shook a lot, and the grandpa seemed to be desperately pulling it back but…… It seems to be a pretty big one, as he struggled to pull it and asked me for help.

It looked like a grave situation, so I quickly ran over to him and helped the grandpa.

[A- Alright, well then, by the count of two, pull!]

[Y- Yes.]

[One- two- pull!!! ……Mnnghh, it really won’t be pulled over with just one tug huh…… Alright, one more time!]

[Yes!]

Not having the time to think about how this could have happened, I was struggling to hold the rod being pulled with great force, I matched my breathing with the grandpa and together, we grappled against the fish.

[Well~~ You helped me out there. I give you my thanks, young man.]

[Ah, no, I’m just glad that you safely caught it.]

[Umu, this is the biggest one I snagged in a long while.]

After a few minutes of struggling with the fish, we managed to catch it…… I don’t really know what kind of fish it was, but it was very big and splendid.

The grandpa seemed happy to catch the big fish, as he slapped me on the back with a smile on his wrinkled face.

Hmmm, how should I say this…… What an energetic old man.

[However, umuuu…… I don’t think I’ve ever seen your face before? I fish around this area a lot, but I don’t think you’re familiar…… Are you a tourist?]

[Y- Yes.]

[Ahh, I see, I see, you’re in luck, young man! I heard that the God of Fate-sama and the Hero-sama have arrived in the city, so if you look for them, you might be able to meet them.]

[I- Is that so.]

I’m sorry, I’ve already met both of them. No, on the contrary, rather than just meeting, I came here with one of them……

It seems that this grandpa loves to chat, and he happily laughed as he continued to talk to me about all sorts of stuff one after another.

[Well~~ However, especially for a young man these days, you got quite a nice expression on your face. It’s just like when I was young!}

[T- Thank you.]

……Grandpa, are you Japanese? No matter how I look at him, he looked like someone from this world…… Though I desperately swallowed that tsukkomi back into my mind.

[Speaking of which, umu, if you have come to sightsee, have you seen the “House of Parliament” yet?]

[House of Parliament?]

[Umu, the center of this country…… the place where the congress is held. If you’re in the city, you should be able to see it.]

[I- I see.]

Amazing…… It doesn’t seem like this grandpa would stop talking at all. What tremendous communipower he has…… I wonder if this is the result of life experience……. I think Magnawell-san was like him too.

And then, with the grandpa’s talking skills are unstoppable, he continues to speak more.

[This country is a good country, as it’s broadminded and accepts the opinion of us populace.]

[……I- Is that so?]

[Umu, we have a parliamentary system of government in this country. Eight members are chosen among the commoners and eight members are chosen among the nobility…… These people who would decide the direction of this country are chosen by the votes of the public.]

[Fumufumu.]

I see, it seems that the politics of the Hydra Kingdom is similar to the politics of my previous world.

The members that are elected by the people were the ones discussing the policies to make the country better.

Naturally, the people who want to be senators value their popularity among the populace, and since half of them are commoners and the other half are nobles, they can share their opinions with each other from different points of view.

It seems to me that the country is becoming more and more comfortable for the people.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that everything will go smoothly, but from what the grandpa says, the people have a high opinion of those in authority.
