CH 106

The next day, I logged in, and did the first matter of business. As I thought, I have to pull the Queen, who’s stuck to me, off.

“German Suplex! One, two, three-!”

And, I threw her. Of course, I didn’t have something like a Throw Skill so, although there was a large sound, there was absolutely no damage.”

“You’re so horrible, first thing in the morning!”

The Queen vehemently protested, but your Bonus Time has ended! I declared, and she became quiet. In this world, things like adult interactions are inferior by a bit. When you speak, if you don’t CLEARLY say it, it won’t come across, and ideas like, “Read the mood,” will become oppressive to the one you’re speaking to.

“Without holding back, you grope a person’s body all you want… do you not have any shame?”

I try asking the Queen, who seems that she’ll continue pursuit, but she brushed it off with the retort, “None when it comes to you, you know?” and I was immediately taken aback. Nono, what will you do if you receive a Counter Punch from me?

“Anyway, I’ve paid my loser’s fee, so I’m leaving.”

So saying, when I tried to leave the room, riding on the mood she said, “A little more~♪”, so I brought out the rose whip, tied her up with <Restrain>, and threw her on top of the bed. I’m going to have to buy a new whip.

“This kind of play isn’t in my taste-!”

Saying that and the like, the Queen struggled, but she couldn’t get out. For crying out loud, even though I’d be more comfortable for the cold interactions she has towards other people.

────────────────────────

Finally I exit the castle (this time I properly walked out the main door), thinking to take stroll around town. It’s about time for me to want to properly raise the levels of Assaulting Kick and Whip, so first I’ll want buy a whip in place of the one I parted with. So thinking, I was about to head towards town when an old man carrying a cane with green hair drew closer.

“I beg your pardon; are you Earth-sama?”

“Wrong person.”

Kaa- Kaa- Kaa-

<t/n: crow noises = awkward comedic silence>

“That shouldn’t be… I had heard that Earth-sama has black hair, black eyes, and carries a bow.”

“Like I said, wrong person.”

A~ho- A~ho- A~ho-

<t/n: more crow noises, this time specifically mocking noises>

I feel like I can hear some weird crow calls, but I will absolutely deny this with all my might. As for why, this person in front of me isn’t a player or a fairy… I understand he’s a dragon. I can tell that the air that was around the green dragon that dropped by yesterday is also coming from this old man.

“In the first place, there are a lot of people that have black hair and black eyes, and there are also a lot of people carrying bows, you know?”

I forcibly push my reasoning. It’s one of the methods of negotiation; I will have my way here.

“And so, it’s inconceivable that you would mistake me for this Earth person.”

A liar? A coward? Say whatever you want. If a dragon comes, there’s already no doubt that it’s for cooking. But there’s no compensation, and it uses up my herbs. If I service the dragons any more than this, I’ll go bankrupt.  A, that’s right, I have to add herbs to the list of what I have to buy.

“Then, excuse me.”

While saying that, even while being flustered inside, I manage to feign my usual calmness and maintain my poker face, leaving casually. Here, I can’t look back, nor can I run off. Just one of these movements would greatly unravel everything and the guy will realize it’s a lie.

Even so, according to the legend, they’re supposed to be existences who live in isolation, but have these isolated existences (laugh) come into society before we knew it?  Can you fill your stomach with pride!? are famous words; such a change might be occurring among the dragons. The origin of that is … something I know, huh?

But it’s a fact that I cannot continue to offer dishes one after another. If there’s someone who’s doing chef play then it would be fine, but I’m an adventurer so I should be going on adventures. Please spare me from continuing to cook any more than this. That food as well, the previous day I made it for that little lady; if she ate it as if it was a dessert, it will probably last her 2 weeks. We used the fairies’ specialty heat insulation box, after all.

────────────────────────

I buy a new whip in the form of a chain, the Chain Whip, and buy herbs and vegetables at the grocers. I was in a situation where I was worried about the daily meals, so with this I can rest assured. I still have plenty of seasonings that I bought from Faust.

In the first place, my cooking isn’t food that’s to be eaten in the restaurant; at the beginning my goal was eating food made from the game I caught that day, out at a campsite; before I realized it, all of a sudden I’ve gone astray. — I’ve also felt that it’s not quite at the level to say I’ve gone astray, but if I think about it, I’ll lose.

Now I have to find an inn to stay at today. As long as it has a decent price and decent beds, I’ll have no complaints. In the worst case, I’m even willing to sleep in the stables. Previously, when I had been escaping from the Queen, the inn that I was running to was a good inn, but now where would that be?

When I looked around, searching for a suitable inn, the old man I’d met in front of the castle and the Queen appeared. I tried to pass through with an innocent look, but … my shoulder was grabbed.

“You really are Earth-sama!”

“Restraining me with the Rose Whip is too cruel!”

The two are rushing at me from my left and right shoulder, but I only have one response.

“Wrong person!”

I immediately chant <Fly> and <High Jump>, shook off their hands, and soared off into the sky, landing on top of the roofs.

“You will not escape!”

“Hold it!”

From behind there are voices, but I can’t hear you, I can’t understand anything you’re saying, I don’t want to. I use <Wind Booster> and dash off in one go. I catch a glimpse of an inn in the corner of my eye, so I run towards it.

“If he enters an inn, we’ll have lost!”

“Understood; let us catch him!”

Dudes, what am I, a criminal? Retorting so in my heart, I run through to the inn’s roof. A loud noise, *dakadakadakadaka* sounds from the roof; I feel apologetic towards the people who are below in the inn.

“Fast!”

“How unlucky!”

With <Wind Booster> I leap successfully into the inn at the very last second. Towards the startled innkeeper I ask, “How much is it for one night here?” “Even while he’s startled he respondes, “F,fifty Glo,” so I hand over 50Glo and quickly receive the key. Using <High Jump> once again, I leap up to room 204, that is a room on the second floor, and put my hand on the doorknob.

“Waaaaaait!”

“I will be scolded by His Highness!”

I hear that, but there’s no way I’ll wait. Just like that I open the door, slip into the room, and lock the door.

“Victory….-!”

Because I just barely managed to escape, the strength left my body. I no longer want to be in the Fairy Country; because of today’s matter I might be treated like a wanted man. If I don’t immediately leave tomorrow…
