Episode 110. Eating in this world (modified)
Episode 110. dining in another world
We went down to the small restaurant below the inn. In a noisy atmosphere of travelers, we ordered a reasonable amount of food, and the food was quickly served on the table.
Seeing them with a healthy body and holding a spoon makes me happy for some reason. While everyone was eating, the female wizard was the only one who looked at him with a frown.
“So, the master has that kind of power. Well. We bought it because it was cheap!”
“Master, I’m sorry.”
The fox-beast girl pricked her ears and spoke brightly. Seeing this, the man gave a bewildered expression and pressed the child’s head firmly.
“… Right. I used my abilities to the fullest and hired a high-quality manpower.”
I’m not saying it’s wrong, well, I didn’t really think about cost performance, but I thought it was an excellent choice.
From the looks of it, even the old gentleman, the slave owner, didn’t seem to be happy. He, too, had a chance, so he would have sold it.
They also had inherent abilities and luck, so they were able to withstand the harsh environment despite serious injuries. If it was an environment where treatment was easy, it would have been impossible with the gold I had paid.
“Hey. Uncle, why are you pressing? By the way, the owner is really awesome. Is not it… .”
“Be as calm as a still lake. Grant me peace with quiet silence. Silence.”
“… town?!”
At the same time as the woman’s soft voice was heard, the child’s mouth immediately closed. Then he shook his head in embarrassment and looked at the food with tears in his eyes.
By the way, the spells that use skills are a bit long here. how do i memorize that It seemed quite different from the Hunters of the world I live in.
“I apologize on your behalf. sorry.”
“no. it’s okay. Well, I think you can release the magic. You have to eat.”
The child’s head nodded. Even the wagging tail was quite harmless.
“If these words ever leak out, they might be caught in the temple. So you have to be careful.”
“… Is that enough?”
I expected it, but it wasn’t that bad. I dipped one slice of bread on the bowl into the soup.
“Probably so. Of course, we never open our mouths, so don’t worry. main… .”
“Just call me Seo-Jun Lee.”
It was quite embarrassing to keep calling him the master. Although it was a hierarchical world, it was because his face was hot and cramped. However, they had a bewildered face as if it was an unwilling proposal.
“… Well, if you don’t like it, there’s nothing you can do about it. Just do what you feel comfortable with.”
The man who had already emptied the bowl asked me in a serious voice. It was a much more polite attitude than before.
“I have a question. May I ask?”
“What?”
“Is your master’s power available to anyone? Even to myself.”
“… Well, yes.”
I nodded and answered. The man nodded with an understanding of whether he was satisfied with my words.
“Once the urgent fire has been put out, let’s make a common name. Everyone still have dessert boats left, right? Makes me want to drink.”
I patted my bloated stomach and laughed. It was because the gold pocket was still thick.
In the past, I was planning to save it, but maybe today will be fine. You can think of it as just a casual dining experience.
“Because you don’t have to. How are you?”
Looking at the menu, the meat cooked with monsters looked delicious. It also looked great as an appetizer.
Did my exaggerated hand gestures work? It was a suspicious expression, but he raised his hand and began to place additional orders.
A squeaking noise is heard in my ears. Delicious food under the yellowish ceiling lights. There, the story flower began to bloom.
⁕⁕⁕
“What? To be honest, I don’t know.”
“Still, he seemed like a good person. It’s so different from what it used to be.”
“… Hmm.”
Meal time has passed. The owner, Seo-joon Lee, who had purchased them, moved to the upstairs bedroom. He said that it would be inconvenient if he was confident, and he paid for the food in advance.
Doesn’t it look too defenseless than you think? Of course, they belong to the owner and cannot escape.
Was it because we went through hardship together in the iron cage? Although the paths and circumstances that each entered the slave market were different, there was something strange about them.
Despite the initial conversation, the common interest of ‘the owner’ is spoken profusely. It’s because it’s harder than a miracle for your body to fully recover and to eat together.
“I honestly can’t believe it. I am in this situation right now.”
Carly touched her neck and then her mouth in turn. It was because he thought he would never be able to speak and lost his magic forever.
If he had wanted his own body, he might have committed suicide. It could be said that it was close to a miracle in her life, which was devastated by betrayal.
“Sister, it’s the same with me. I will never steal again!”
Luka smiled, revealing her white teeth. But Hermann tapped the child’s forehead with his finger.
“Aww. Why are you hitting me?!”
“Do not lie. Little boy, make sure you give it back to him when he sleeps. Otherwise you will die.”
It wasn’t that he killed him. The imprinted slave loses his life when he inflicts damage on his master or intends to kill him.
“no. This was given to me by the owner. I couldn’t drink alone when I was young, so I’m telling you to eat some sweets next time. If I had stolen it in the first place, would I have vomited and died sooner?”
Luka, with a wounded expression on his face, replied sternly. His tail clattered on the chair as if in anger.
“… That’s right. sorry.”
Hermann’s apology calmed the mood. Carly opened her mouth again to clear up the situation.
“As everyone knows, our injuries were in a state of irreparability that even the saints of the Empire could not heal. What’s more, to come back to such a perfect body… .”
Carly muttered in disbelief. Hermann and Luka also agreed, saying it was unbelievable that they had a healthy body.
“right. And big, the owner didn’t look particularly sick. It’s speculation, but it’s probably here for a specific purpose.”
“I was told that I couldn’t stay in this world for long.”
To Hermann’s words, Luka answered with a grunt of grilled meat. Seeing it with a slightly absurd expression, he spoke again.
“… And then he said he would let me go.”
“The master even said that he would kill the Demon King!”
Their expressions become serious and hardened infinitely. The three of them looked into each other’s eyes and immersed in thought as if exploring.
“Hmmmm.”
The silence was broken when the man coughed. Carly sighed and spoke first.
“Once it was good for us, I don’t think it would hurt us. In the first place, I have no regrets about living now.”
“Anyway, I have nowhere to go, I will follow you! In fact, it makes sense.”
“… I am also a combat slave, not a knight, so I do what I am told. It’s full of questions now, but one day we’ll find out.”
Hermann swallowed hard. A small whisper pierces my ear amid the delightful heat of food.
“I can only guess, but never say it out loud. First of all, we have received favor from the owner.”
At Kali’s words, Luka nodded her head. Hermann’s eyes were also gloomy, but his cheeks were slightly warm.
⁕⁕⁕
the next morning. After waking up early, I just finished washing my face. It was a very poor environment for taking a shower, so I was satisfied with this.
We went out to the streets to get the things we needed. What caught my eye was the robes people were wearing.
“Get along well. master!”
Luke raised a thumbs up and smiled. However, using it by myself was somewhat inconvenient.
“You really don’t need it?”
“We are fine. Rather than that, the owner’s appearance stands out, so I recommend that you keep wearing it if possible.”
Hermann replied as if it was really okay. In fact, I think it would stand out more if I wore a robe alone.
“Then, how much is this, sir?”
When I called, the owner of the store rushed over to me. The shopkeeper glanced at my face and opened his mouth.
“You have eyes to see. Thirty thousand gold. The fabric itself is of good quality, so there is a price. It comes from afar, so you will never regret it.”
I remembered the money in my pocket for a moment. I could buy it, but the price was higher than I expected.
I have to buy weapons for not only me but also my kids. After thinking for a while, I made a decision.
“Maybe cheaper… .”
Herman was grimacing strongly in a bad mood. Embarrassed and following the end of those eyes, he was the owner of the store.
“Why, why are you looking at me like that?”
“Do you really think a piece of cloth is worth that much?”
Callie asked in a cold voice. The shop owner was very frightened by the voice muttering as if he was speaking an order.
“If my uncle cheated on him, his hands would be cut off… ?”
At Luka’s last words, the shopkeeper, who was completely defeated, answered the exact price. Quite an outrageous amount.
“… 3000 gold. Please report it.”
In fact, I also thought that I was confident in choosing a weapon because there were not many hunter activities. However, since I am a foreigner, it seems difficult to grasp the market price.
10 times as much puff pastry. This person is the one who shouldn’t be.
“ha. Next time, don’t do this.”
“yes. Yep!”
I didn’t want to get involved with the guards here, so I made a verbal promise. I didn’t like it, though.
“I want you to keep that promise.”
Carly looked at the shopkeeper and murmured. I was a little scared to open my mouth with an expressionless face.
“… What order is that?”
“ah. Yes. Master, this is the magic of keeping your promises.”
“ah. is that so.”
After a bit of understanding, I continued to look around the market street. Looking at the direction in which their eyes were shining, it was possible to understand roughly what they wanted.
“Then, do you need any more weapons? Is that enough?”
Hermann had a sword and shield, and Kali had a suitable staff. And Luca has two small daggers.
“I wanted to buy a better one, but I can’t. Let’s change it to something better next time.”
They said it with regret, but in fact, the quality of the weapons they bought was very good. That’s because you can see the corners of his mouth twitching.
“It was just great. Thank you very much.”
“you’re right. I don’t know if I’ll be of any help.”
“I really like it. Actually, I’ve never really used a knife. Uncle Hermann will teach you well.”
I am very happy to see that you are satisfied. Seeing Luca happy, I smiled as well.
“Then shall we go now?”
“But are you really leaving? To defeat the Demon King… .”
Luca opened her mouth and widened her eyes as if in disbelief. Herman and Kali were also called Demon Kings, and their nervous expressions were evident.
“Not now. Look at the situation.”
For the time being, I plan to stay in the capital. maybe you know Whether a new hero will be summoned immediately. Because I had to pay some money in the first place.
“Shall we go to the Adventurers’ Guild first? Luca, do you know where it is?”
“Of course. master.”
We started to lead our steps following Luca’s guidance. For some reason, I felt that the people around me were shivering away from me, but that didn’t matter.
