CH 29.2

After breakfast, the day begins as usual.

Mireina and Kirie were at the reception desk, and Shiny and I were carrying packages to the truck.

When we finished carrying the bags and got into the truck to head out for deliveries, Shiny was holding her head like she was in a bad state.

“Ugh… my head hurts.”

“You’ve been drinking too much. Tama, do you have any of those sobering drinks? If so, give me two.”

“Purchase completed. Here you go.”

A small bag pops out of the dashboard with two small bottles inside. I quickly opened the lid and chugged it down.

Shiny, holding her head, also opened a bottle and downed it in one gulp.

“I didn’t mind drinking, but it’s been a while since I’ve had a drink, so I’m not sure how much I should have taken. I remember rubbing Mireina’s b*****s …….ummm.”

“I don’t remember it either. What happened after that?”

To be honest, I’m quite curious.

I wonder if they were having a little yuri action with each other. Damn it, why did my consciousness give up at that point!? I might have been able to see a great scene!

“Ummm, I was in bed before I knew it, so I don’t remember.”

“Oh, I see.”

It was a shame. Oh well, I have to work anyway.

Today, too, I have deliveries to make within Zenimouke and to neighboring settlements. There are only a few of them, so we should be done before the evening.

“Speaking of which, Shiny’s cooking dinner today?”

“Oh, she’s serious about that!?”

“I don’t know. I’ll ask Mireina.”

“……….. Do you want to eat? My cooking?”

“…”

“Why are you quiet?”

Now, let’s get on with today’s work!

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

“Agatsuma Shipping Company” has started to get on track.

The company began to be known within Zenimouke as a fast, cheap, and reliable transporter, and the number of requests for work gradually increased.

Above all, the company’s employees began to be known for their cuteness, and people began to come to the company just to see what Mireina and Kirie had to offer.

If someone were to do something immoral to Mireina or Kirie, my Desert Eagle would surely shower them with bullets. I knew I should keep Shiny in my company as a guard, but there was an unexpected relief.

One day. We had just finished our morning deliveries and were all having lunch together.

“Oh, thank you for your time. Hello, Niramana-san.”

“Hello, Niramana-san. Thank you for coming in earlier.”

“Hello, Mireina, Kirie. How are you?”

“…What are you doing here?”

“I was just passing by. Do I need your permission to say hello to Mireina and Kirie?”

“What did you say!? You’re a shrewd guild leader.”

“Oh, calm down, Shiny.”

Yes. The guild leader, Niramana, started coming to check on us. And she even showed up in the morning. I’m sure Shiny might not like it, but I’m grateful for it. I could understand somehow why Nina had gone to such lengths.

“Shiny Blue, I’ve heard of you and your reputation. I hear you’re a cute little carrier who brings packages.”

“Are you making fun of me!?”

“I don’t know. Fufu.”

I wondered if maybe Nina was concerned about Shiny. I had the impossible fantasy that she was worried about the fact that she had been disqualified as an adventurer and was coming to check up on her.

“I heard rumors about your truck, President Kota. I talked to an adventurer from Sugedaro who said he had never seen anything like it and was amazed.”

“Oh, I see.”

It’s hard to reply. I can’t say it is a lie.

I’m the only one who can drive the truck, and I don’t think it will be stolen. Besides, if I have an earpiece, I could give Tama instructions and make the truck go berserk. I don’t want that to happen, though.

“The guild may send out a request in the near future. I would be grateful for your help.

“Yes, thank you.”

Saying that, Nina left.

If it’s a request from the guild, I wonder if it will be for transporting monsters or carrying letters. If it’s in a distant place, it will take days, so I’ll have to close the office to go there, which is a problem. We’re getting customers, but we don’t want to have to close for a long period of time here.

“Moo~, that Niramana is so arrogant!”

“I’m the adventurer of “Blue”, you know. Isn’t that great?”

“The “Adventurers of the Seven Colors” sometimes receives requests from the king of the “Kingdom of Heroes, Ore Sanjo,” right? Hasn’t Shiny had one before?”

“No, there is “Orange”, and the king loves that obnoxious high spirited young girl, so she takes all the requests.”

“Adventurer of the Seven Colors…… Hey……”

I thought as I sipped the tea Mireina made me after dinner. I guess it’s a cool title in this world, but in modern Japan, it’s something like “The Four Heavenly Kings of Comedy”.  And if “Red” is such a goofy old man, I wonder what kind of characters the other ones are.

Shiny, perhaps hearing my muttering, grinned.

“What is it? Do you want to know about the Adventurer of the Seven Colors?”

“No, not really.”

“I have no choice. I’ll explain it to you. The Adventurers of the Seven Colors are seven of the strongest adventurers in the world. Each of them is strong enough to defeat a dangerous species on their own.”

She is starting to explain even though I didn’t ask.

“Each of the “Seven Color Adventurers” symbolizes one of the seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple. There are several ways to inherit the name. In my case, I inherited the name from Niramana, the previous “Blue” but there are also other ways, such as by defeating another in single combat and taking the name, or by the recommendation of another of the “Seven Color Adventurers”.”

“More tea, Mireina.”

“Yes.”

“President, I’ve peeled some apples for dessert.”

“Thank you, Kirie.”

“Kota, listen to me!”

“Oh! I’m listening!”

Shiny is pissed at me. I didn’t ignore her, but it wasn’t the right way to approach it. I’m sorry, I’m sorry.

After listening to Shiny’s nonsense for a while, the break comes to an end.

“Now it’s time for my afternoon deliveries. Let’s go, Shiny.”

“Whew, I’m tired of talking.”

“You two take care.”

“I’ll make dinner tonight. I’ll be looking forward to your early return.”

“Oh, Kirie’s cooking tonight. I’m looking forward to it.”

“Yes, I’ll put my best effort into it.”

Kirie smiles, but Shiny is silent on the subject. Seeing Shiny, Kirie smirked.

“Shiny, would you like to join me?”

“Ugh…”

“Ki, Kirie, that’s…”

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”

Shiny had cooked once before, but the food was terrible. The meat and fish were raw, the stir-fried vegetables were burnt, the rice was soggy because she used the wrong amount of water, and the soup was so sweet because she used the wrong amount of salt and sugar.

Shiny, perhaps reflecting on her past, stopped cooking after that.

Mireina tried to teach Shiny how to cook, but Shiny refused and even Kirie occasionally stirred up Shiny.

“Well, we’ll see about that.”

“I don’t really care about it. Portable food is delicious.”

“That’s true. I agree with that.”

“Oh, calm down, Shiny, I’ll teach you how to cook, okay?”　

“Muuuu ~ tsu”

Shiny puffed up her cheeks like a squirrel and got angry.

Apparently, Kirie often teases and messes around with Shiny. It’s understandable that she reacts in a funny way when teased, and it’s certainly interesting to watch.

“Come on, let’s go to work!!”

“Yes, let’s do our best, Kirie!”

“Okay, then.”

“Guu, I’ll remember that, Kirie!”

This is the normal operation of “Agatsuma Shipping Company”.

I think we are doing somewhat well. Besides, I’m having a lot of fun every day surrounded by beautiful girls. Life as a trucker in another world is not so bad. My life is more fulfilling than in Japan.

But there will always be someone who tries to destroy such peace.
