Chapter 112: After the Banquet

Chapter 112: After the Banquet

On the morning after the banquet, the drunk passed out men sprawled all over the plaza looked like heaps of corpses. These men were dragged back home by their wives.

We withdrew from the banquet late into the night, but it was a rare entertainment for everyone in the village, so they seem to have enjoyed themselves well into the morning.

While brushing my teeth outside the carriage, I watched Vanga-san being forced along by Martha-san.

「......G, good morning. Urp.」

「Morning. Are you okay? Got a hangover?」

Who came out of the carriage unsteadily was Akane-san. She looks like she’s suffering from a hangover. Should I bring out some medicine?

「Uuoh, last night, did I say anything weird?」

「Un, it’s alright.」

「Ho, t-then that’s fine.」

「A, awawa, g-good morning!」F0lloww new chapters at nov/(e)l/bin/(.)com

「Lulu-chan, good morning. Did you sleep well?」

Lulu-chan woke up in a fluster.

Yesterday, she seemed to have been having fun with the village children. She was probably so hyped up until night that she went to bed late and overslept.

「Y-yes, I ended up waking late. I’m sorry!」

「It’s okay, it’s okay. Everyone woke up late today, after all.」

I told Lulu-chan, who kept bowing her head in apology, to come eat breakfast.

Lulu-chan hasn’t yet broken out of the customs and values of her slave life in Sydnia. That’s why we must gradually acclimatize her.

I went back into the carriage and ate breakfast with everyone at the table. Today’s breakfast was made by Maria and Marnie. It was a simply bacon, eggs, salad, bread, and soup, but it was more of a luxurious breakfast in this world. Truthfully, I wanted coffee after the meal, but that’s impossible right now so I’m enduring.

Even though Lulu-chan displayed her opposition to eating at the same table with us at first, she’s now able to eat with us. She eats silently, but it’s clear to see from her happily wagging tail that she was enjoying it.

「Now then, what are your plans for the day?」

As we were drinking tea and relaxing after having finished breakfast, Sophia asked for today’s plans. I didn’t have anything planned specifically so I gave it a little bit of thought.

Incidentally, Akane’s hangover was fixed when I casted 『Cure』 magic on her and she drank hangover medicine.

「I’ve already achieved my goal of meeting with Vanga-san and Martha-san, so I think I’ll spend my time leisurely later. That’s why, you girls can spend your time freely if you have something you want to do.」

「Kaede is requested by Martha-san and the others.」

「A-ah, don’t over do it.」

It would appear Kaede was being asked for thread by the village wives.

「U-umm, would it be alright if you could teach me how to cook as well?」

「Yes, of course. Then how about we make Horned Rabbit stew together?」

「I’ll make the salad then.」

「I will be making grilled horned rabbit skewers, so may I ask you to take out some soy sauce please, Master Husband?」

「Will soy sauce, sugar, and mirin be okay?」

It seems Marnie will be skewering the horned rabbits and then grilling them. The meat of a horned rabbit has a similar texture to chicken so it would go well.

When dinner was complete, Kaede finally came back.

「Master! So pooooped~!」

She plopped on my back and embraced me.

「Good job. Martha-san and the village wives demanded threads from you. huh?」

「Uh huh~ “We don’t know when you’ll be back again” they said, and stuck to Kaede really stubbornly.」

「What is Kaede-chan’s “thread”?」

While I was gently stroking Kaede’s head, Akane-san’s curiosity had been piqued by the thread.

「Spider Silk is the highest class fiber in this world. In particular, Kaede can produce threads varying in properties like strength, thickness, and elasticity, and she also weaves stretchable cloth so it’s in great demand here and there.」

「Does that mean all of Iruma-san and everyone’s clothes areー」

「Yup, it’s all Kaede’s spider silk.」

Akane-san’s eyes sparkled.

I learned from our conversation that the clothes we were wearing, from the materials to the design, had caught her eye ever since we were in Volton.

「All of our underwear are like that too.」

「!! M, me too, may I have some too?!」

Akane-san took Maria’s hand when she mentioned underwear, appealing that she wanted them for herself too. The underwear Akane-san was wearing in Japan had already disintegrated, and she despaired at the underwear sold in this world.

After that, when she learned that the girls’ underwear were just like those sold in Japan and that they weren’t inferior, it seemed like a force made her prostate herself to Kaede and Maria. Far from inferior, they were applied with various enchantments, so they were far more efficient than the underwear in Japan.

In the end, Akane-san and Lulu-chan’s underwear would be made starting tomorrow while they discuss designs and color.

At dinner, Vanga-san’s family came and everyone enjoyed dinner together.

The second night at Bohd Village went far into the night.
