The Daily Life of a Middle-Aged Online Shopper in Another World

I'm an ordinary man nearing 40 who ended up in another world.

My goal is to enjoy the slow life.

Yet now, my group has an audience with the royals of this nation.

It's time to set my life ablaze.

The Daily Life of a Middle-Aged Online Shopper in Another World

Episode 13

To Sa-Kura...

That's the mage?

He doesn't look like one.

Allowing beastfolk and animals into the audience chamber?

His Majesty is taking his games too far.

Everyone, silence!

Silence!

We have come in response to the summons from Your Majesty.

I am Kenichi, the mage from the frontier, and this is my family.

Kenichi the mage, you shall now take part in a match before His Majesty.

Huh?

Mother! What's this about?

Your opponent will be the royal capital's resplendent rising star,

Lady Melissa Lana Nasturtium!

I did wonder why he'd gathered so many nobles here,

but I guess it was to put on a show.

They said an incredible mage from the frontier was coming, so I agreed to this out of curiosity,

but you're just a plain old man.

Sorry for being an old man.

And you've gotten your family involved, you foolish man.

You should all hurry back to the sticks.

Heed my plea...

minion of darkness!

Grant the enemy that stands before me...

your dark judgment!

It's a Lesser Dragon, meow.

Crap. Summon Omatsu-san.

Y-Yours is all bark, no bite.

Kenichi.

Get him!

Right off the bat?

Protection.

Protection!

Protect—

P-Prote—

Hey, is this okay?

It's their fault for bringing second-rate mages.

Disgraceful.

Still, she missed.

I wonder what color that summoned beast will turn when it burns.

I wonder how many shots it'll take for one to land.

What's wrong with them?

Hey, mister.

We'll take this thing on.

Let's do it, meow.

Damn it. I can't land a decisive blow.

Leave this to me.

Hey!

Oh, edge of the abyss connected to the empty void,

grant me power from the passing, fading souls.

Explosion!

Crap. It's even more resistant to magic than that spider was?

Incoming! Damn! The controls aren't—

Oh, stone of light that created all things...

answer my call with fitting power and become the shield that stops all hostility.

Please.

High Protection!

You can use High Protection, too?

I knew it would stick in its eye.

We got it, meow.

Damn it.

Keep going and crush them!

Looks like this is almost settled.

I wanted to see them burned alive.

Hey now. It'd be a waste if the bobcat burned to a crisp, too.

Heed me, you who are connected to all of grand creation...

Is that... How?

Grant this small stone temporary life!

A golem core?

A commoner's child can use such high level magic?

Unbelievable.

An arm?

We were surprised over nothing.

She's just a commoner after all.

Incredible.

It's still incomplete, huh?

Even so...

That was plenty.

Finisher...

Omatsu Big Spin!

The yellow whirlwind that blasts away the darkness from this world.

Its foes die.

Super Finisher: Omatsu Crush!

A raging blow that defies all absurdity.

Its foes are left super dead.

Store.

We won, meow.

We're incredible.

Thank you, Anemone.

Sure.

I'll now conduct a mic test.

The weather today is sunny. The weather today is sunny.

Hand Megaphone: 3,500 Yen (After Sales Tax)

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

Now, Your Majesty...

I would truly like to thank you for inviting me to such a wonderful, elaborate show.

After seeing my family endangered, I find myself livid with rage,

so I shall use the might of my summoned beast to collapse this entire audience chamber.

Then, once I have made my spectacular escape from here,

I shall use every ounce of my ingenuity to ruin this country of yours.

Ruin this country?

He couldn't possibly do that.

He's getting all full of himself after defeating just a single lesser dragon.

I shall use every ounce of my ingenuity to ruin this country of yours.

Kenichi?

I'm sorry.

In my anger, I made an outrageous declaration.

The royal family awaits me, and I have no idea what danger lies ahead.

I'm one to talk. Ultimately, I'm the one dragging everyone into danger.

Kenichi, I told you, didn't I?

It's fine. Do as you please.

I'll follow you wherever you go.

I won't run away.

It's in our nature as beastfolk to be drawn to strong men.

Don't go thinking you can escape from my nose, meow.

You said we'd be together forever.

We haven't even gone adventuring yet!

I'm really grateful hearing all of you say that,

but if we run now, we'll never know peace again.

Plus, who knows what kind of trouble we'll cause for Mallow and the others around us.

Neither my father nor I...

no, even if anything happened to the Mallow Trading Company, we'd never blame you.

Wait right there.

I see what you are saying.

Even if we are royalty,

it doesn't give us the right to make a spectacle of someone for our own amusement.

Your precious family was placed in danger, too.

It's natural you would be furious.

But running away from here now would mean giving up on the peaceful life you seek.

The nobles would also direct their resentment at you.

So what say you? There is a good way to settle all of this, but will you accept it?

And what way is that?

Good.

Kenichi the mage,

you shall become mine.

I politely decline.

An instant answer?

You could've at least thought it over and debated it a bit, you know.

I absolutely refuse to become the royals' plaything.

I-In that case...

I have a small request as a young girl that you should grant.

A request?

My birthday is coming up soon.

So get me a present.

What say you? If it's good, I may plead with my father to let this transgression pass

and grant documentation that absolves you and declares that no grudges remain.

I-I see.

What she wants to see from me is something none of the nobility could hope to obtain.

However, it will be impossible to surprise me with jewelry.

Hearing that just makes me want to give her jewelry to challenge her.

Although...

Kenichi.

Your products may be wonderful due to the great skill involved in making them,

but at the same time, I was always surprised

that many were the exact same shape, like your clothespins and your axes.

I believe it'd be best to give something like that as a present.

Double Strand Pearl Necklace: 3,300,000 Yen (After Sales Tax)

Wh-What's this?

You're not familiar with them?

They're called pearls.

I know what pearls are!

But these things?

A necklace composed of huge beads all sharing the same color doesn't exist in this world.

It can't exist.

Here. Take it. This officially sanctions all of your activities.

I'm grateful and delighted.

I can't claim to feel all that satisfied with this outcome,

but if this settles things peacefully, I should just accept it.

Still, this document may actually be what I've wanted all along.

Yikes! She's super scary!

She's more dangerous than that lesser dragon.

Kenichi, was it?

Yes, ma'am. What do you need?

So you don't have anything for me after presenting my daughter with that necklace?

Huh?

But that was a present for Lady Lilith's birthday.

My birthday is also coming up.

Huh?

My birthday is also coming up.

My mother can be quite fussy. When I make her mad, it can be a nightmare.

Oh, no, that'd be absurd.

I have a gift for Your Majesty as well, naturally.

Double Strand Large Pearl Necklace: 5,500,000 Yen (After Sales Tax)

Those pearls are huge. How much did they cost?

Standing Mirror: 13,990 Yen (After Sales Tax)

If the queen requested such a thing, it would financially ruin a domain.

Your Majesty, they look magnificent on you.

Indeed they do. You are correct.

However, I cannot accept a great gift like this for nothing.

What's this?

The key to my bedroom.

Huh?

Do you find my body lacking?

Lady Canaan did exactly the same.

Do the nobles of this world believe offering their bodies

is how you repay someone for something money can't buy?

And is it all right for her to do that in front of the king?

No, it's not!

Mother! You shouldn't jest so.

Your Majesty, I believe Lady Lilith is correct.

That right there.

What do you mean?

Why do you address Lilith by her name but address me by my title?

Huh?

Um, because this is my first time meeting you, Your Majesty.

Wh-What should I call you, then?

Amaranthus. Amara is also acceptable.

In that case, Lady Amara, do you have any old, unused furniture in the palace?

Old furniture? I believe we do, but what of it?

Might I take some of that in place of this key?

Please?

Kenichi.

Take this as well.

What is it?

It's the desk I used when I was a young girl.

Seeing it just reminds me of those hellish days.

Store.

What a simple thing.

Say, Kenichi...

Would you take me out of here with you, too?

Mother!

Well, that's real antiques used by actual royalty for you.

Back in my old world, you'd only see these in museums.

Oh, it's the vase.

Oh, yes.

I've enjoyed marvelous sleep, thanks to you.

That's wonderful to hear.

Then, you're in no doubt that this flower vase was the cause.

When we interrogated the noble who sent it to me,

he confessed he'd gifted it to me knowing full well it was cursed.

Cursed? Why would they?

To kill me, of course.

The one who presented it to me...

Oh, yes.

Remember those nobles the lesser dragon's breath killed? I believe he was among them.

Did you intentionally dispose of him for trying to assassinate you?

It's a mere coincidence that people burned to death due to that breath attack.

Right?

R-Right.

That man was one of the nobles in the anti-royal faction.

The anti-royal faction?

People who oppose the royal family's rule.

Lately, the actions of Thunbergia from Achimenes have caused the most irritation.

Thunbergia?

He's in the lowest ranks of the anti-royal faction.

I hear he's conducting all kinds of schemes to take over his neighbor, Astrantia.

Including sending his pawn, a merchant, there.

A merchant? Wait, is that Thogalum?

The anti-royal faction also keeps numerous thugs and bandits as cat's paws.

As well as Astrantia, they've been trying to add Dahlia to their territory.

Wait, even Shaga's men?

He was the bandit hiding out in an old castle near Dahlia, right?

So you're the one who defeated that man.

Huh? You know about that?

Ruling a nation requires one to stay well-informed.

This incident has allowed us to put a temporary halt

to the anti-royal faction's expansion.

You have our gratitude.

This woman really is super scary!

Hey, young lady.

Where did you learn that High Protection spell from?

Uh, from a grimoire.

I heard it belonged to someone named Armeria.

Huh? The Silver Armeria?

Did you know her, Lady Nasturtium?

Well, she was famous.

Young lady.

Anemone, was it?

Y-Yeah.

Tell me of your mother.

I don't remember her. I heard she died.

I-I see.

And magic writing?

I haven't learned it yet.

"I leave this for my daughter, Anemone."

"May it find her, if destiny wills it."

So that's how it is.

You should treasure this. It's a memento from her.

Oh. Sure.

I'm sure we'll meet again someday.

Next time, I won't lose.

Some days later, I was granted the land of Astilbe Lakefront as a further reward.

Astilbe Lake was the body of water that stretched out in front of my home.

Astilbe Lakefront (Later known as Kenichi Hamada's barony, Sa-Kura)

Since land was bestowed to me, I couldn't remain a commoner.

Therefore, I was made a life peer and granted the rank of baron.

I'm part of the nobility now.

Low Ace Commuter (Used): 3,200,000 Yen (After Sales Tax)

And with that, we made our way home.

Why did I purchase a new van, you ask?

Because Lady Lilith and Mailen wound up coming with us, too.

When Lady Lilith asked to come with us,

her doting father, the king, refused to allow it.

If you won't grant me permission, I'll leave the royal family!

Apparently, she threatened him quite vehemently.

So she ended up coming under the pretense of monitoring me, Baron Kenichi Hamada.

After all, we can't have a mage as powerful as you joining the anti-royal faction.

Let's enjoy our time together, Anemone.

Sure.

But I'm not letting you have Kenichi, Lilith.

Naturally, Mailen came as her attendant.

I couldn't help but feel her hot gaze on me, and I wondered if she was recalling that night.

What's that? A-A monster?

Fuyou!

Oh, Kenichi!

You're a noble now? Then I've been incredibly rude to you.

Oh, no, treat me like normal.

There's more of them now.

Huh?

Am I wrong?

You're not wrong.

Not quite everyone here is, but they're family.

Wherefore did he come here?

Did you achieve your dreams here, O magic tamer of the iron summons?

Wherever you may go...

The Sacred Knight.

...is what all will think when they see you.

Now, this really is the start of my slow life.

This is "mayo," right?

Oh, that reminds me. The mage in the other empire.

I wonder when I'll get to meet that mayonnaise guy.

(The Little Girl Empire)
