Chapter 401: I Said, It’s a Misunderstandiiiinnnnnnggggg!!!

Translated by Zzonkedd

“Alright, time for meat!”

“”Yeah, meat! Meat! Meat!”

“Goodness, yes, yes, I know~”

[5]

““Meat~? Sui wants meat too~~””

Thanks to all the fuss by Fer and Dora-chan, even Sui popped out of her bag.

“Of course, after being harassed by those children, we must have meat!”

“”That’s right! They were devils, energy-sucking devils, I tell you!””

“Yes, yes, I understand. You want lots of meat, right? Well, I can’t make anything too elaborate if you want it quick, so it will have to be something simple.”

“What do you mean by simple?”

“Hm, stir-fried food. How about a vegetable stir-fry? A nice, healthy stamina stir-fry with lots of meat and vegetables. It’s always good to have a balanced meal, don’t you think?”

[5] Fer wrinkled his nose and his lips curled back to expose fangs, “I said I want meat!”

Hey, surely you don’t have to be so angry?

“Well, how about Ginger Fried Pork with Orc meat or Dungeon Pork?” [3] Ginger Fried Pork could be easily made with store-bought ginger sauce.

“Oh? Hmm, I supposed Ginger Fried Pork is good too,”

Just ‘good’? Fer-san, you are drooling. Ugh, that’s dirty.

[5] Sui and Dora-chan were both on board with the Ginger Fried Pork idea.

“Right, good to know. For the meat, hmm, let’s use Dungeon Pork. We have loads of those. Also, I still have cooked rice, so, let’s have a Ginger Fried Pork Bowl.”

On its own, Ginger Fried Pork is a bit too strong tasting for me. However, it is one of the best kinds of sidedish with rice.

“That’s fine with me, but I don’t want any vegetables. Just meat and rice.”

“It tasted better with finely sliced cabbage, you know? More refreshing.”

“No, I want to load up on meat today. Pile on the meat.”

“”Hear, hear, meat over here!””

“”Sui wants lots of meat too~””

Yes, yes.

I guess it can’t be helped. [1] I piled on the meat over the rice for my familiars. No cabbage, as requested.

“Oi, put on more.”

“More? I’ve put loads already,” [7] I protested.

“That’s not enough, more.” Fer demanded. [5]

“About this much?”

“More!”

[8] I piled on more and more meat over the rice until it turned into a meat tower.

“Is this alright now? If I put on anymore the meat tower will collapse.”

“Umu, this is fine,” [3] Fer was finally pleased with his tower.

[8] Of course, Sui and Dora-chan also wanted their own meat towers. [5] [8] “”Now this will fill me up nicely!””

“”Looks delicious~””

[8] The three of them began to attack their meat towers.

[4] “Hey, slow down! You’ll choke yourself!”

[8] However, nothing I said seemed to stop them. [1] Finally, several meat towers later, my familiars were finally satisfied.

Fer and Dora-chan immediately went to sleep, probably tired out from half a day of playing with the children. [1] Dora-chan even forgoes his nighttime bath.

Sui and I had our bath before heading to the master bedroom.

Ggooo— ggooo–

Fushuuu— fushuuu—

Well, looks like someone’s sleeping soundly tonight. [5]

“”Funny sounds~~”

“Hehe, indeed.”

Sui and I laughed quietly together before we too snuggled into bed and fell asleep.

After breakfast, our party went to the Merchant’s Guild to return the key to our rental house. Then, we went to the Adventurer’s Guild.

My familiars were all clamouring to go to the dungeon and were pretty annoying as [6] they telepathically bombarded me with noise about dungeon, dungeon, dungeon.

Anyway, we made it to the Adventurer’s Guild and a staff member immediately escorted us to Isaac-san’s [6] office. [1] The guy was in the middle of tackling his paperwork.

“Welcome, Mukouda-san. Sorry, could you hold on a minute?”

[8] It was clear that he was in the middle of something urgent, so I said, “Sure, I’ll wait,” [6] and sat down amidst grumbles from my familiars.

A staff member served me tea and I sipped at it as [6] I contemplated the towers of paperwork around Isaac-san. I certainly don’t miss this part of life back in Japan.

[6] A final flourish of signatures later, Isaac-san moved his chair back and took out four heavy sacks from his drawer and thumped them onto the table.

“Sorry to keep you waiting,” he said. “Let’s see, 230 gold for the subjugation of the Tyrant Forest Python and 180 gold for the materials. So, a total of 410 gold coins.”

Then, he retrieved something that looked like a rolled-up carpet that had been leaning against the wall and dropped it in front of me. [1] Curious, I leaned forward to study it. It took me a moment to realise the pattern on the ‘carpet’ looked rather similar to the Tyrant Forest Python...

“And here’s the skin you wanted, a third of the Python.”

Wait, really? [2] This is just a third of the snake skin? Should I have asked for less? [5]

It looked kind of big, but I guess I could give it to Lambert-san as a souvenir. [1] I could... get him to use the skin to make some small useful items for everyone back home.

Yeah, let’s consult with him on that.

With that in mind, I put away the gold coins and python skin into my magic bag.

“Well, I’ll be going now.”

“What a shame, I had hoped you would stay a little longer.”

[4] “Well, my familiars are looking forward to challenging the dungeon...” [3] Also, I get the feeling that if I stay any longer, I’d be given all kinds of various missions...

With a forced smile, I continued, “See you again.”

Taking the hint, Isaac-san escorted me to the exit on the lower floor.

“Thank you for your care,” [7] I said.

“No, no, I should thank you for your help. Thank you very much indeed for taking up the urgent request. Do drop by this city again. Well, it’s possible that by the time you return, I would have been sent to another city. Hahaha...”

Isaac-san, your life sounds pretty depressing...

Ah, that’s right! There’s that!

I have just the thing to cheer you up. [1] I sneakily remove a set of Divine Medicine, Hair Power from my [Item Box] and presented it to him.

“Isaac-san, please take this as a token of my appreciation for your care,” [7] I said as casually as I could as I presented the hair tonic and shampoo set to him.

“This is...?”

“Well, it’s a special medicine for hair growth. First, wash your hair with shampoo from this bottle. After towelling your hair dry, [6] well, so long as it is mostly dry and not dripping with water is fine. Anyway, once your hair is somewhat dry, put a bit of this medicine on your hands and massage it onto your scalp carefully.”

“... ...” Isaac-san stared at the two bottles with wide eyes. [3] “C-could this be the most talked about medicine among the nobilities of Leonhart Kingdom...?”

[4] “Oh, so you know about it? [5] I’m kind of close to the merchant who sells it and happened to have a few in my possession...”

“Mu-mukouda-saaaaan! Y-you are a friend of my heart! A great friend!! Thank youuu, thank youuu, uuuuu, waaaahhhh!!!”

“Eh? Wait, tears? Wait, stop- stop hugging me!”

“Mukouda-saannnn!!”

“No, wait, stay away, Isaac-san!” [3] Let me tell you, there is nothing good about being hugged by a balding man!

“F-Fer! Help!”

Fer was standing right in front of the Guild. However, when he heard my pleas, he turned away with a muttered, “This has nothing to do with me.”

Wait, you, is this revenge for leaving you with the children yesterday?!

“Dora-chan!”

Dora-chan, [6] that traitor, also did the same. [5]

As for Sui, she was still sleeping peacefully in her bag.

I did my best to push Isaac-san away, but he was unexpectedly strong! [6] I thought he was just a paper pusher!

“Thank you–! Thank you so much—!”

“Yes, yes, now go away!”

Unfortunately, it was morning now. One of the busiest times for the Adventurer’s Guild. [5]

We were attracting attention from everyone.

[5] “Hey, is this a lover’s quarrel, Guild Master?” [7] someone snickered.

No way! [1] Impossible! I would never involve myself with a balding old man!

“It’s a misunderstaandinggg!”

............

......

...

“Haa... that was just too horrible...”

After getting out of that sticky situation, [8] I got onto Fer’s back and we quickly high-tailed it out of Hirschfield.

“Fuhahaha, now we’re even.”

“”That’s right, [8] who was it that abandoned us to the demons yesterday?””

Gunununu.

“Right, time to head over to the dungeon!”

“Curse you–! I hate to agree but we really do need to leave this stupid town,” I muttered.

Thus, we departed for the Dungeon City of Brixt.

[Gumihou: Not much misunderstanding here, just a minor comedic moment. Oh well.]
