Starting Today, I'll Work as a City Lord

Chapter 127: West Sun Citys Citizens Privileges

Lord Father, those buns are delicious. I want to eat more, especially the big meat buns. Gale said. He no longer had the discontent that he had when he first entered the city.

Okay, well go and buy some later. Youve already eaten more than enough, Solo said, looking at Gales bulging stomach. The meat buns were delicious, and the cheap price of three copper coins per bun was a really deep hole that was extremely hard to get out of.

If it wasnt because West Sun City was really far from the capital, he would have bought hundreds of meat buns to bring back to the capital to sell to the gluttonous nobles. Unfortunately, because it was so far, the buns would have long gone bad by the time he took to travel from West Sun City to the capital.

Okay, thats what you said. I want two, no, I want three meat buns, Gale said. He put up two fingers and immediately put up another finger.

Okay, well buy as many as you want, Solo said, stroking Gales head. He scanned the surroundings but still couldnt find the Public Bathhouse.

Lord Father, what are you looking for? Gale asked.

A place where we can take a bath, Solo responded. He had heard that the merchants were going to take a bath in the Public Bathhouse, so he had been searching for one the whole day, but he still hadnt found it.

Lord Father, why dont you go and ask someone? Gale asked.

Hh Solo didnt know what to say. He had already asked others for help, but he just couldnt find the public bathhouse. He wasnt going to admit that he was directionally challenged. Sigh. If I knew that this would happen, I wouldnt have sent the servant away. Now I cant even go back to the inn.

Lord Father! Gale tugged on Solos sleeves and pointed at a building not far behind them. Theres a lot of smoke coming from that house.

A lot of smoke? Solo turned around and immediately saw the sign on the building, which read: Public Bathhouse.

It was the exact building that he was looking for!

Didnt I just walk past that building? Why didnt I see it? Could I be blind? No, that cant be it. It must be because the sign was too small to see. Yes, that must be it!

Come on. Lets go over there! Solo said, running to the Public Bathhouse while pulling Gale along. Huff Were here!

Solo looked at the three-meter wide sign above his head and turned his head away. This sign is too small!

Solo and Gale walked in. There was a counter with two men and women behind it, and they all seemed to be in their thirties. They were currently folding towels.

A female attendant looked up just in time to see Solo and Gale, and she quickly asked, Guest, are you here to take a bath?

Yes, Solo said, nodding. I finally found the right place!

At this moment, a man came in with a clean set of clothes in his hands.

Guest, are you here to take a bath? a male attendant asked.

Yeah. My mother-in-law just kicked me out of the house because Im too dirty, the man said.

He he Being able to take a bath at the end of the day was unthinkable in the past, wasnt it? the male attendant asked.

Yeah! It was unthinkable! Its all thanks to Lord Liu Feng, the man nodded.

Ok, do you want the public bathroom or the private bathroom? the male attendant asked.

Ill use the public bathroom. The private one is too expensive, the man said, taking out an ID card from his pocket and handing over three steel coins.

The male attendant looked at the ID card carefully and then nodded. Okay, go to public bathroom number 1. A group of customers had come in earlier and we changed the water after they finished.

The man took back the ID card and felt that it was strange. Thats weird. They dont usually change the water during this time of the day.

The female attendant looked at Solo and asked, Guest, do you want to use the public bathroom or the private bathroom?

Pulich bathroom, Solo said.

Okay, do you have an ID card?

ID card? Whats that? Solo was confused. You need an ID card to take a bath?

Its the proof of identity of citizens in West Sun City. Its fine if you dont have one. You can still take a bath at five steel coins per person.

Didnt that person only get charged three steel coins? Solo asked. Why are you raising the price so blatantly?

The female attendant laughed. You can take a bath for three steel coins if you have an ID card. Thats the benefit given to the citizens of this city by Lord Liu Feng.

.. Solo didnt know what to say, and could only take out a copper coin and hand it to the attendant. Two people!

Okay! the attendant said, taking the copper coin. You can go public bathroom number 1.

Solo walked inside and saw two doors. One had the word male while the other had the word female. Solo took Gale inside the male door, looked around, and saw a door marked with the number 1.

That should be public bathroom number 1.

Solo pushed the door opened and saw the man from before. The man was undressing and was soon naked. He stuffed his clothes into a wooden box and walked into a door with the wooden box.

Wait, we undress here? Solo turned his head and looked around. Good, no one here! Solo soon stripped Gale and then stripped himself. He copied the man and stuffed his clothes into a wooden box, and walked inside the door.

Solo looked inside the room, and there were three pools inside, each about a dozen meters long.

The man from before was inside one of the pools and was currently rubbing his body. He saw the naked Solo and Gale and smiled at them kindly.

Solo nodded at him and led Gale into another pool. So comfortable!

The warm water made him extremely comfortable, but Solo immediately became embarrassed. The water around him had turned mirky. How dirty am I?

Solo silently moved to somewhere else in the pool, and the water became mirky again. Just like that, Solo had to move three times before the water stopped becoming mirky. Huh. For those merchants that didnt bathe for three months, would the water have to be changed as soon as they take a bath?

Half an hour later, Solo took the dizzy Gale out of the bathroom. If an attendant hadnt been urging them to get out, they probably would have stayed in the pool until they fainted.

Outside, Solo turned his head and looked at the door of the Public Bathhouse. He was envious. This bathhouse is so good. Why isnt there one in the capital?

Quick! Lord City Lord is going out to crush the horse thieves and is now preparing to go out of the city. Lets go and take a look!

Hearing the shouts, Solo turned and saw a group of people running.

City Lord? The noble of West Sun City? Solos eyes lit up and he pulled Gale as he chased after the group of people. I need to take a good look at the genius noble that could invent public restrooms and public bathhouses. I need to see what he looks like. Is he an old scholar with a beard or a wise old noble with white hair?

Translators Notes:

I am pretty sure that the author had set a different price in one of the previous chapters.

Announcement. Uh, well, as much as I dont want to do this, Im sorry, but I will have to decrease the number of chapters I translate each week. I know, I know, Im trash since I dont even translate that much compared to some others who do like 5 chapters a day, but look, as much as I like translating, I have other things that I also like to do. On top of that, I have assignments to do, and while I dont really care that much about grades, I would still like to have enough time to do work and pass, and maybe even get a decent grade while Im at it.

So, the translation schedule will change from 5 chapters a week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday) to 4 chapters a week (Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday).

My usual translation breaks will be on Wednesday and Sunday.

It usually takes me about 1.5 to 2 hours to translate one chapter (not accounting for the time I spent to fact-check things when I deem it necessary), which, might not be that much compared to other translators, but it is still a lot of time I could really use to focus on other things, like homework or even sleep. Ive been late to my morning class like almost every other day recently, and I really need the time. I also dont want to set any unrealistic expectations which I know I have no way of upholding.

Okay, so since this is near Thanksgiving and since there is no school, I guess I can use that time to translate. Yeah, but after that, I need to cut down on the amount of chapters I translate each week.

Oh, and I might have to cut down on the time even more in December since I uh have even more classes scheduled for that term. Yay! Its just a possibility, okay, so dont uh, be too disappointed in me.

Oh, and I have a C (in math) right now, and it doesnt seem that bad until you consider the fact that my parents are Asians

I mean, Ill probably be fine. Probably, Ive gotten a lot of Bs and even some Cs before (I know Im trash, dont gotta remind me), just never in math, and I was fine.

Well, if I suddenly disappear one day yeah

Once again, I apologize for the change, and thank you for reading.
