Chapter 10-Trauma and Dungeon Lunch 

(TL:By Rafael)

"I'm sorry for the delay but  It's okay now."(Yuki)

After a short break, I apologized to everyone with a clear head.

"It's okay! I was  just a little surprised. ......"(Marina)

"I didn't know you were so tired. I'm sorry, I didn't realize it beforehand."(Silk)

I smiled lightly at Marina and Silk, who were looking at me with concern, and turned my head to the top of the stairs.

"Uh, ...... actually, it's a little bit like the shade of light when I cursef Simon, you know?So I was mildly traumatized by it."(Yuki)

I look at the light coming in and let out a small sigh.

It had been on my mind for a long time, but it came out of my mouth easier than I thought it would.

Maybe it was because I had told Rain and Nene earlier, or maybe I was less afraid of exposing my weakness.

...... On the contrary,  the two of them fell silent when they heard it.

"It's not a problem once I've calmed down and I've gotten used to it. The location in the labyrinth has shaken me a little too hard, but ...... I'm fine. Let's start checking the situation."(Yuki)

I moved my mouth in a half-hearted attempt to deceive, but the next thing I knew, ,......, Marina and Silk embraced me from both sides.

Oh, come on, .......

It was a good thing I had turned off our live stream.

If I deliver this kind of thing to a national audience, We are going to have a big problem later.

Even though there will be just a lot of jealousy.

(TL:Well we are jealous)

"I didn't know you were in so much pain."(Silk)

"Why didn't you tell me?"(Marina)

I gave them a light hug and apologized, 

"I'm sorry."(Yuki)

"It's not that I didn't trust you. It's just that I knew I had to take care of my own heart for what I did."(Yuki)

But I was traumatized by doing so, and it was easier to talk about it this way.

In other words, I must have been wrong.

"Next time, you're going to have to talk to me about it, okay? Yuki."(Silk)

"You have to tell me, too, right?You promise?"(Marina)

"I'll do that next time."(Yuki)

I nodded at them with a wry smile, and they released their embrace with a satisfied look on their faces.

Feeling a bit of regret for the loss of warmth, I switch my mind.

We are still in the middle of a dungeon.

"Now that we've settled down, let's have a meeting. Should we continue to explore the first floor or go up to the next floor?"(Yuki)

"I think we should investigate upstairs."(Nene)

"Me too!"(Marina)

Nene and Marina raised their hands.

Marina was probably just curious, but what about Nene?

"I think I'm also for going up there, too. I think it's a little different from other dungeons."(Rain)

"What do you think, Yuki-san?"(Yuki)

I was going to give my opinion at the end, but if it's almost unanimous, I guess it doesn't matter.

"I'm also concerned about the upper floors. To be honest, the underground canal area doesn't seem to yield much, and I think we should check out the end of this staircase before we prepare for the second dungeon attack on the labyrinth."(Yuki)

"I'm of the same opinion. I can feel the disturbance of environmental mana and spirit power after this staircase, and I want to check what's ahead."(Silk)

I looked around at everyone and nodded.

Worst case scenario, we can take the time to map out the underground canal on our return and check for the reappearance of the chain man.

I'd rather check out this strange atmosphere I'm getting from the top of the stairs.

"But first, let's get  ourselves some food."(Yuki)

I smiled at the nervous faces as I took out the cooking utensils and desk from my magic bag.

It's already been five hours since we entered. If I don't get something in my stomach soon, I won't be able to hold on in case of an emergency.

"Oh, what about delivery? Are you not going to live stream?"(Marina)

"I don't mind if you do, but ......"(Yuki)

"Hooray!"(Marina)

Marina took out a small "Gopuro-kun" from her luggage and made it float in the sky.

Marina, who is surprisingly handy, knows how to use some magic artifacts, and she even has her own magic artifacts for delivery (live stream) that she is particularly interested in.

"Are you going to film this?"(Yuki)

"We need to separate it from the delivery of the court-appointed missions, don't we?"(Marina)

And yet, she is surprisingly aware of TPO.

"Let's start the broadcast!"(Marina)

"Okay."(Yuki)

I laughed lightly and began to prepare the meal as usual.

First, I put a frying pan on the stove, which was heated by a magic stone, and melted some butter.

"What's today's soup?"(Rain)

Rain looks at me expectantly, so I chuckle and lightly ladle the edge of the [Always Ready Soup Stock].

As soon as I saw it, I was filled with the rich aroma of beef stew.

Yes, it was quite a hit this time.

"It's a meat stew!"(Marina)

"This is my favorite!"(Nene)

Marina and Nene clapped their hands together in delight.

Rain seems to be pleased with the results. ...... She looks like she's a pretty big eater.

In the meantime, the frying pan was getting good, so I threw in the herbs and chicken, cooked them lightly, ...... poured a splash of white wine on them, and put the lid on.

Today it's steamed chicken with herbs.

"The more I look at it, the better your cooking skills get."(Marina)

"It's my job as a supporter to make sure you have a good meal."(Yuki)

I cut up the cheese, tomatoes, and oranges as I heated up the bucket on the stove.

The cheese is very nutritious, and if you don't eat fruits and vegetables, it's bad for you.

...... Okay, it's done.

The steamy chicken steamed with herbs and garnished with other ingredients made for a very presentable dish.

Next to me, Silk was serving the stew and laying it out for everyone.

"Come on, eat up. There will be more stew and bread."(Yuki)

"It looks so good!"(Marina)

Marina smiled as she brought the plate closer to Gopuro.

It's worth the extra effort if it makes you happy.

"I'm going to eat it then."(Marina)

As soon as Marina finished showing off to Gopuro-kun and took a bite of the meat, the friendly dungeon lunch time began.

TL Note- Welcome to A rank Kitchen where you can only watch (read) cute girls eat and I swear when I say I am not making the titles.
