Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero chapter 5

EP.5 Thing, a hero, do it one more time.

To be honest, after that day, Frilite and I never met again.

why?

That’s because I got out of the imperial capital the very next day.

Some may say that such a beauty cares and should be gratefully accepted, but to such a person, I want to say this.

Then you become possessed

I don’t want to do the hero job again.

It won’t be really enjoyable, and there’s nothing left for me to have to go through that hardship, right?

Well, if I put my mind to it, I can defeat the Demon King and eat well and live well with that achievement…

‘What is the joy of living in a place like this?’

I don’t even have a computer,

I don’t even have a cell phone

no netflix,

no chicken,

No cola.

there is nothing

What makes it better than Earth is that the average level of appearance of people is high.

Even the face of the person I possessed right now was a face I had never seen when I was on Earth.

‘It’s hard to look good with red hair, though.’

If I could return to Earth with this face, I would be able to make a living as an idol for the rest of my life.

I’m sorry.

“So, let’s move slowly then.”

I got up out of bed.

Since leaving the imperial capital, I have been on a gastronomic tour to other cities.

With the hope that even in this world, there will be at least one delicious thing.

But it’s also the last for today.

If what I ate today doesn’t taste good, I’m just going to kill myself.

Once my soul escapes from this body, Leah will do something about it.

He has that kind of ability.

I wandered the streets whistling.

Although not as much as the capital of the empire, once it is an empire, the streets are clean and the security is good.

If only the food was delicious, it would be really good.

‘The skewers over there were soggy, and the tavern over there had a very fishy smell. That house fruit had caterpillars in it. Ummm, what?’

As I was walking around the streets looking for restaurants, a shabby shop located in the corner of the street caught my eye.

‘What, was there a store there?’

I’ve been to this area a few times, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a store like that.

…It smells.

The smell of the restaurant…!

I smiled and entered the shabby shop. The inside of the store was shabby to match the exterior. But that doesn’t mean it’s dirty. Rather, the tables and chairs were clean enough to not have a single particle of dust.

That means the owner is sincere.

The smell of the restaurant grew stronger.

However, the owner of the store who should take the order is nowhere to be seen. Didn’t you hear the door open?

“Hey. Is nobody there?”

-Ah yes! Wait!

The answer came right away whether it was true that I had not heard the door open.

With a loud bang, a girl appeared from the inside. The girl with long pink hair is neither pretty nor ugly.

“…are you the owner of the store?”

“Is it me?”

“Oh, I see.”

He turned his back without hesitation.

I thought it was a restaurant owned by an artisan chef with decades of experience, but it was just a shop run by a kid with no money.

I was expecting it, but I just lost it.

“Come on, wait!”

The girl caught my pants dancing as I was about to leave.

Why are you still there even if you catch me?

“Why?”

“It’s been a while since I’ve been a guest… I can’t send it off like this!”

“Whether you just go or eat, that’s the customer’s mind, not the store owner’s mind, right?”

“That’s the case… well, good. If our food doesn’t taste good… you don’t have to pay to go!”

“Aren’t you going to report it to the security guard if you don’t do it anyway?”

“I never even thought of that!”

The eyes of the pink-haired girl contained that of a craftsman.

Are you serious about this?

I was so cold that I finally sat down at the table.

“great. I’ll believe you. Bring me the most delicious thing here.”

“Yeah!”

The girl smiled and entered the store.

Where, let’s see what that little girl is making.

It was very shocking to me that the girl came out to me after waiting with such a heart.

“This…?”

“Fufu, this is it. Not an ordinary skewer… ah…! Wait. You’re explaining…!”

Is that explanation important now?

It doesn’t matter whether this is the food I thought it was or not.

I took a large bite out of a skewer covered in red sauce.

Then, a slightly spicy yet sweet taste taunted my tongue.

He ate the skewers quickly, then looked at the black liquid in the glass of ale.

The black water bubbling with bubbles reminded me of something…

‘Please… I think you’re right…’

I swallowed my saliva, lifted the glass of ale, and drank the black water.

Tock tock tock tock!

A tingling sensation is felt in the throat. It’s a little weak, but this is exactly what I thought.

It’s carbonated!

Cola!

“how about it? tasty? brother? Why, why are you crying?!”

The girl panicked, but I couldn’t stop crying. Although it was a little weak… because carbonation was present.

It was as if I had found a small light in the dark abyss.

“With this… I can live…”

I decided to live in this world.

* * *

After the meal, I asked a girl named Lina how she made these.

Lina had a difficult expression on her face to answer, but I was so curious that I ran into the kitchen without Lina waiting for her to stop.

In the kitchen, there were not only cooking utensils, but also what appeared to be alchemy ingredients.

Yes.

This little boy was not only a cook, but also an alchemist.

“Why do you, as an alchemist, study cooking in such a backward place like this?”

“What about culinary research! I’m going to get rich from this!”

“Wealthy?”

I glanced around the inside of the store. Would a visitor come to such a shabby place?

It’s me, I’m just pretending to be deceived for the last time, but I don’t think ordinary people with no money will eat out in a place like this for a while.

“If you want to become rich, you must first start with the interior design, right?”

“interior..?”

“I have to fix the store. Who comes to such a shabby place?”

Lina pointed at me with her finger.

“…Yes, I did come. So before that? How many people have come?”

“…”

Lina turns her gaze away and smokes.

“Neither did I.”

“Ugh..! Do you know that I, I, want to do business in a store like this?! I also want to do business in a better shop! But what if you don’t have money?! Right now, I’m in a situation where I’m struggling with research funding alone…! Because of that, I can only eat one meal a day?!”

Whether it was a tantrum or not, Lina shouted out every single thing I didn’t know about.

I stroked my chin as I listened to her sad cry.

“I’m tired of money… So you’re saying that if you have money you can make something better than this?”

“Yeah?”

“This is it. stinging in this black water. If you have the money, can you make it a little louder?”

“I do not know. I’ve never done it, but I think it’s possible.”

“yes? Then take it.”

I took out the money bag I had in my arms and threw it at Lina.

“Eh?”

Lina, who received the money bag, was puzzled, then opened the pocket and glanced inside.

“Hey eh…?!”

He even opened his eyes wide in shock.

“Hey, why are you giving me such a large amount of money..?”

“What is big money? It’s only 3000 gold.”

I haven’t adjusted to the price of this world yet, but 3000 gold is not a huge amount. It’s not even a small amount, though.

“Is that all you have right now? I’ll send it to you later when I have money, so for now, I’m satisfied with that.”

“Yes Yes..? No, wait. Can’t you keep up with the conversation?”

“Do you need research funding? That’s what I support.”

“Who, support!”

Lina’s cheeks trembled.

“Are you really going to support me?”

“Huh. Instead, there are conditions.”

“What, what is it..?”

“For now, let’s name that black water cola, and let the tingling sensation be called carbonated water. Make that carbonic acid stronger than it is now.”

“Cola… Carbonated…!”

Lina took out her notebook and pen and started taking notes.

What, when did you bring that out again?

“And normally, research is what you want to do, but if there is anything I ask for, give priority to that research. That’s it.”

“Eh.”

“Why? What are you complaining about?”

“Um… Thank you for your support… Interfering with research is a bit… I’m afraid it’s absurd as an alchemist…”

Lina spoke with a submissive attitude like a business man persuading the business owner’s boss.

“no? Then there was no support…”

When she reached out for the 3000 gold she had thrown at her, Lina quickly hid her money bag behind her back.

“But I am a culinary researcher, not an alchemist! I will accept that offer!”

“Wise judgment.”

Me and Lina shook hands.

It is worth living in this world.

So what you need to do from now on is simple.

A spec-up to defeat the Demon King.

I remembered the contents of the notebook that Cloud had left.

Since you have subjugated Goblin Lord, you have already surpassed the first half of the game.

The three heroines have also been passed on to other heroes, so it can be said that we are almost halfway through.

‘No, but Cloud, how did this bastard usually live and get NTR already?’

All three of them get NTR in the middle part of it, but it’s almost impossible unless you pick one.

However, the original Cloud did it naturally as if it were breathing.

He really can’t be that great.

‘…that’s not what’s important right now.’

Putting aside how stupid Cloud was originally, what matters now is how much power this body has.

If you know exactly that, you can decide whether to spec-up or farm equipment.

‘For once, it’s okay to be weak.’

You can tell just by feeling your body. But I don’t know how fragile this is.

Just as people know that ants are weak, they don’t know how weak they are, so I am now.

Therefore, it is necessary to look at the status.

Because it accurately quantifies the level of this body. As I’ve played this game about 3 times, just looking at the status, I can tell just how crazy he is.

‘If I had known this would happen, I would have asked the butler about the status when the party was disbanded.’

In fact, it is written on the back inconveniently.

How do you see it?

After thinking for a while, I got up and left the inn.

It was somewhere I was going anyway, so I guess I could ask there.
