Chapter 378.1. Changing Everyday Life
After finishing breakfast, Mii-chan used the teleport portal to move to the imperial capital.
“Teito~. Arrived in the imperial capital~”
Mii-chan, like a train conductor, stepped out of the portal connecting spaces and looked around outside.
Several teleport portal towers stood tall, and many people lined up with their luggage. They also prepared cargo, creating a bustling atmosphere similar to an airport.
These teleport portals are built in various parts of Japan and even in foreign countries.
Specifically, the foreign country is Ninny’s hometown. Since Ninny’s alma mater, the academy she grew up in, was there, the deal went smoothly because the academy’s magicians vouched for it.
“The gates won’t close immediately. Those who want to move safely should use them.”
Ranko-san, who was holding my bag, squinted her eyes to block the sunlight while observing the outside.
“Yeah, I’m thinking of having our honeymoon abroad.”
“Has old man Martini not gone on a honeymoon with Kongo-oneesan yet? If it’s the escort’s salary, you can afford it, right?”
“Abroad, huh... There’s a possibility of being attacked by monsters on ships and airplanes, so I didn’t like it.”
“We know how terrifying monsters can be.”
Old Martini, Mii-chan’s escort, scratched his head while responding. Kongo-oneesan also seemed to agree. Indeed, if ships or planes got attacked, there would be no escape.
Because they make a living through combat, only the disadvantages seem noticeable to them.
There are many troublesome monsters unlike on the ground, so many people hesitate. However, with teleport portals, it’s a straight shot.
If we’re talking about airplanes, there’s still the issue of whether you can afford the first-class price for a few minutes.
“Two years ago, this place was a slum. I don’t think anyone would believe that. Amazingly, you could have such a large facility.”
“Yeah, we’re planning to keep expanding the teleport portals and turn this into a hub harbor connecting various parts of the world. It’s not enough yet! Still a long way to go!”
The surroundings used to be a slum. They cleared the area and transformed it into a towering harbor facility with teleport portals.
We bought up vast land, and the people from the slums now live in apartments built nearby. Since the people managing this harbor needed a workforce, we hired many people from the slums too.
The slums that existed in the Imperial Capital disappeared, and the number of people in extreme poverty has significantly decreased.
This is a skill made possible by Mi-chan becoming a bit stronger in magic.
Even Grandpa Odin can’t do it. After all, the material used for the towers is the indestructible substance, Wafer Ore.
Grandpa has been strangely holed up in his room lately, happily conducting various experiments with Mimir-chan, who now has a physical form.
It’s definitely not because Mii-chan messed up. There are just so many unknown magics to research. The god of magic seems satisfied with fulfilling his curiosity.
“But was it okay? Couldn’t you have built the Teleport Harbor in Mii-sama’s Tokyo? Why the Imperial Capital?”
“I plan to construct a small hub harbor in Tokyo too, but since the Imperial Capital is the capital, I didn’t want to do anything that might leave a future problem.”
I answered with a proud expression to Yamiyo, who tilted her head in wonder.
It’s fine for now, but problems will arise after Mii-chan is gone. Trying to take over Tokyo by finding fault with it is something history has taught us.
People in power tend to try various methods to obtain what they desire, and the possibility of that happening is high.
“As expected of Mii-sama. No one can defeat such foresight and planning.”
“Thank you, Yamiyo-chan. Mii-chan will go to high school now, so I need to do my best a little.”
I chuckled and blushed, squirming a bit. Yamiyo, with a gentle smile, continued snapping photos of me with her at a speed that even Mi-chan’s Eyes might not catch. I just hope the doesn’t break.
