It’s already late night (It’s 01:30 right now that I’m posting this chapter. I started TL’ing at 11:00). As I said that I will get sowhat free ti today for TL’ing the chapters, but looks like I wasn’t able to as the Chapter 12 is even bigger than Chapter 10. So it will be in parts....That’s why you will have to wait so hours as I will sleep and then after waking up TL it. After all it is Sunday for and btw most of the people who are in Europe or North & South Arica will get this chapter by night or evening. I guess (not much confident in ti differences). Anyhow today only Chapter 11 and Chapter 12 Part 1.be happy.
Chapter 11 – Raw Materials and Inn and Prospects and Secret eting
[ET: Tense is always changing.]
So ti after the attack from Goblins (from both sides). We both decided to continue investigating the ‘Labyrinth’.
After that, we t various types of monsters en route.
But they all were different from the ones in the forest or it’s surrounding areas. Just what I expect from a Dungeon.
For example,
‘Wolf’. It was just like it’s na says.
‘Lizard’. This one is a big skink lizard. It’s over-all length is about 1-2 tre.
‘Rabbit. This one is a wild rabbit about the size of dog. By the way it is edible.
For so reason, these all are demons which don’t give the monster like feeling. If you ignore their largeness and body color then they can be found on earth too.
Doesn’t sothing like......erm, dragon appear here?
When I asked that to Elk, I was punched and yelled at ‘You got a death wish? Idiot’
No but everyone wants to see it once right? Fighting it is......you know.
Anyhow, after defeating those guys, we completed the established practice of ‘Tearing Off’ in this world which is the sa in hunting gas too.
The fangs or fur for Wolf, skin for Lizard and like that the useful parts are teared off and then sold within the city.
......or so Elk was saying.
And after we both grabbed so resources (I can call it that,right?), we both left the dungeon.
It was already Evening outside. Well, ain’t that fine?
☆☆☆
After that,
When I asked Elk ‘Isn’t there any good inn?’ she replied that the inn she is staying at is good. Her inn is the ideal inn with ‘Safety’, ‘Cheapness’ and ‘Tasty Food’.
And so, it ended up heading there.
I thought if it is fine to let one unknown man live in the sa inn in which she is living. But then I recalled the incident of the morning.
Even so, when I asked about it indirectly,
“It will be good until you try to do sothing?”
Fast Reply.
There are also girls like this who are frank or act manly.
Or else, am I being trusted? or am I being underestimated......
Rather, the talk just went too smoothly!
I if object her words, won’t I be thought as a man who can self-constrain himself?
That......yep, it will definitely be hard to live on afterwards.
No well it’s a complete truth that I can’t sef-constrain myself, but I want to avoid letting a girl I’ve just t know about that fact.
And the inn has favorable terms so I really don’t want her to reject living there.
And so, I accepted her and let her guide .
The inn Elk is living in is called ‘Bermuda’.
......I thought ‘What if I went in there and can’t ever co back out’ for a mont......anyhow, putting off the first impression I got from the na,
I enter the inn thinking that it would be good if it’s a comfortable place.
“Welco! To Bermuda where ‘Once you enter you can’t leave out!’”
We are welcod by an excessively energetic girl.
Her age is maybe 2 years lower than mine? She has brown pony tail hair reaching her shoulders. Her face is childish and is fair-skinned. More than anything her smile is really bright for my eyes!
I ignore the welcoming lines which actually are the sa as what I thought before entering.
“By the way, I’m Tanya, the self-proclaid poster girl of this inn! Welco Custors♪”
Self-proclaid hell with it. But she really is girl full of spirit, to the extent that it will irritate most of the people.
I don’t hate it, though
“Ah, Yes Thank you. Er, is there any room vacant? I want to live here for so ti.”
“Yes, with pleasure~!”
Is this a bar or what. [ET: ‘with pleasure’ is said mostly at bar or love hotels, that’s why MC says as such.]
When I glance at my side, Elk is face palming with a worn-out expression.
“The only flaw of this inn......”
I see, so this girl is always full of spirit.
From what I heard, looks like Tanya-chan who is also the daughter of the owner of this inn helps from being a poster girl to being a waitress in the dining hall.
She is good-looking and has cheerful personality, so she is popular among the custors, but looks like Elk is not good with noisy places.
“Ah? Isn’t it Elk-san. Eh, What, you brining a man here, is spring finally going to co for you?”
“It’s not that, you don’t need to pry to any further.”
“Aw, boring. I thought I will be getting the chance to choose the na of the future child.”
“Just how many steps forward are you thinking about, idiot! Stop speaking ridiculous jokes in front the person himself! I’m sorry Minato, you don’t need to pay attention to this girl at all!”
“Hmm, so he is called Minato? Is it beginning of a love story?”
“I’m telling you it’s fricking different! ......Minato let’s change this inn, ‘kay? I know other good inns too!”
“Aww, don’t say sothing so lonely, Onee-sama♪”
“Who is the Onee-sama you creep! Geez, it’s good that you are popular right now, but if you keep on serving them with this attitude soon enough they will disappear?”
“It fine, It’s fine. I only serve and tease Elk-san to this extent.”
“What the !!”
Elk, your character is changing.
I’m curious that why Elk beca like this, but for now let’s ignore it.
But well, if she is always being teased like this, it’s natural for her get fed up.
“Incidentally, which is your room, Elk?”
“My room is in the inner part on the second floor.”
“Is that so, I see. Then Tanya-chan if you can do it then I want my room to be......—”
“Understood~, You want your room next to Elk-san’s room,right?”
“—On the first floor.”
Well, I want to have the floor different at least. It’s not like I would do sothing if it is the sa floor.
Tanya-chan made a face saying ‘Tsk’ but she does her work ‘honestly’ because she quickly brought out necessary docunts.
“Fill the na and number of days you want to stay here. The rest we will write. A-And if possible write the type of girl you prefer here.”
I take back what I just said.
And from what I hear, there are not many rooms vacant on the first floor......the ones that are vacant are big sized rooms and dium-sized rooms.
The dium-sized rooms are about the size of a normal room in a Japanese-lodging. 50 copper coins for 1 night.
The big sized rooms are almost the size of a room in a high-class hotel. 1 silver coin for 1 night.
Well from the currency values I heard from Elk, I have a lot of money with . I’ll go with the dium-sized room, it isn’t like I desire a high-class room.
In truth they also have small rooms around the size of ‘small rooms’ in a business hotel. It’s price if also pretty reasonable, 30 coppers for 1 night, by the way Elk is also living in this type of room.
But unfortunately, these rooms on both floors are full and only the other types of rooms are left. Can’t be helped.
Incidentally, there is a common bath. The people living in small rooms have to give extra fees but the people living in big-sized and dium-sized rooms don’t have to.
I pay the price for a dium-sized room on the first floor for 1 week. In total it is 3 silver coins and 50 copper coins.
I take the key for the room and when I glance at my behind, Elk was getting red due to the jokes by Tanya-chan. It seems like she will throw her anger towards if I say anything, so ignore for now.
Elk spoke ‘Good grief......!’. Thank you for your hard work.
☆☆☆
A little later, Elk asked to co to her room saying ‘I have to talk about sothing’. So, I lock the room which I just now took and head towards her room.
Though I lock it, it’s not like there is anything valuable inside the room.
Anyhow, every adventurer including and Elk moves here and there with their personal belongings......or perhaps I should say, equipnts. And those equipnts mostly are of good quality.
So, there are most people who don’t leave their equipnts in the inn and keep on wearing it to prevent theft.
And above all I have gotten the ‘Hyperspace Backpack’ from mom. And if I have this I don’t have to worry about my living space.
It has limits, but still it has the capacity as that of a large storage room.
And should I say as expected? because Elk doesn’t has much belonging inside her room. The only things there are things needed for daily life and things needed for adventurer work.
It sohow feels just too low things......well, it can’t be helped even if I think about it.
Elk puts away the bag filled with the raw materials brought from the labyrinth and gives an eye signal saying ‘Sit’. I accept her offer. I sit on a chair while Elk sits on her bed.
“Minato, the raw materials we brought is it alright to sell them at the guild tomorrow?”
“Eh? Ah, Yeah it alright. Is it sothing you can sell just by bringing it over there?”
“More or less. Though it takes ti for investigating the origin of the raw materials, but these are of low-level so it will be over in so minutes. And, erm......”
“?”
“Erm, the distribution of profits from selling it......”
Yeah, the money cos after selling the raw materials.
Well it will be good with 50-50, it is the basic,right?
Elk was also saying that, but right now her words seem evasive.
And keeps on murmuring to herself.
“......No, it will be good if I speak it out straightforwardly.”
? What does that an?
Elk takes a deep breath while I’m trying to find the aning of her words and—
“You see, Minato. I have so troubles going on and so I need money. And that’s why......can you increase my share even if a little bit?”
–sincerely requests.
Ah, I see, this really is sothing that is hard to say.
“Yeah, it’s fine with .”
“That’s right, you won’t increase......EH!? i-Is that fine!?”
For what reason are you freaking out?
I thought she will happily accept my words, but what ca back was an expression full of surprise.
“N-No, but can you that easily......”
“After all, Elk has taught many things and you see, I don’t have any need for money right now.”
“B-But is it fine? You were the one who killed most demons?”
That much is nothing for .
Surely, I did kill the most of the demons, but rather, I requested her to let fight them.
After all, all the monsters(The animal types were more though) we t were full of spirit and ca at us in large crowds.
And so, I fought against them to my heart’s extent. There is no need to worry about it.
Argh, it was a let down.
I speak to Elk who doesn’t seem like she is digesting my words at all.
“Elk, you can take the whole profit for yourself?”
“No, T-That, I can’t do it!?”
Why? You need money, right?
She doesn’t seem like she will tell the reason for it, so I won’t ask about it.
Just like I said before, it’s not like I have a need of money right now, so it’s completely fine with even if Elk takes all the money.
To put it bluntly, I can earn that much every ti. Only the prey is needed for it.
“You really gonna give all that? Aren’t you being too nice?”
“I don’t know if I’m being to nice, well, there is no reason to reject your request. Just think that I’m doing it on a whim.”
“I-I see, Thank You.........It’s difficult for to say............I already have a feeling of guilt from before (depress)......”
She shows a sowhat depressed face, but a little after shows a happy expression.
Taking all the money does feel awkward.
Anyhow, we talked for a little while and then made our way to eat al together.
In this dining hall, only the breakfast is free. Well for the guests there are discounts.
And I have a lot of money in my purse, so I ate a lot of food.
When I asked that why the dinner isn’t made in sets, though breakfast is. The reply that ca was that adventurers in general like to eat and drink as much as they want in night and so the dinner in sets is not made.
And after eating, I bid farewell to Elk and return to my room.
Well anyhow my first day as an adventurer went smoothly. I lie on the bed which is the first bed I lay down on after leaving the ho.
Well then,
For the first ti I fought against demons different from the ones in the forest, honestly speaking......
No, let’s leave it.
It’s not good to think about sothing that will lead to carelessness.
Even Elk said that only ‘weak’ demons appear in that labyrinth. There will be many chances to fight against strong monsters from now on.
Though I don’t know if Elk will be there with at that ti.
Well I can’t do anything by thinking. Let’s sleep.
I turn off the lights.
I’m one of those people who can’t sleep in a complete dark room. And so, I set the candle in the candle-stand.
And when I bring my palm near there.
The candle catches up the fire in an instant.
“......I didn’t even had chance to use ‘this’ today.”
I mutter words to myself.
Today I didn’t use this and only took care of demons with normal ‘Taijutsu’, but......chances will co to use ‘this’ which I used always in the forest.
I want to fight against those guys before my instincts beco blunt. It might be imprudent, but I’m itching to use my skills.
I close the curtains and close my eyes.
Ah, by the way, the share distribution ended up with being 8:2 of Elk and mine.
It feels like not much changed.
☆☆☆
In late night,
Elk left the ‘Bermuda’ inn and entered the small dark alley behind the inn.
In general, the so-called back alleys are dangerous places for a woman in night. The usual Elk always stays on her guard and doesn’t leave the inn at night-ti.
But, today she went inside the back alley.
And the one she is eting is there.
She entered the back alley and after turning on so corners reaches a place with so light.
The n gathered there all had dangerous and grim expression. They all turn their line of sight towards Elk who just ca in.
But, Elk knowing that they will not attack, starts walking while pretending to be calm.
One of the n from that suspicious group of n steps forwards towards Elk.
“You know what to you have to say, Elk?”
“......You guys got problem with the incident in morning?”
“Of course. Just what were you thinking by bringing that monster......though no one is dead but everyone is injured and now can’t move.”
“I can’t do anything about that. ......Even I didn’t knew that he would be so strong......And furthermore, you guys were the ones who made this plan, it would’ve been fine if you used your minds?”
“What did you say bitch......”
“Stop it, nothing good will happen if you argue here....... And I now understand that it’s not only your responsibility this ti. But casualties did appear and we all are right now angry. So stop from speaking in a provocative tone. For the sake of both of us.”
Another man cos in and calms down the man who got worked up due to the argunt.
He speaks in a soothing tone. He warns everyone and all shut their mouth.
When he sees that both parties have cald down. He then faces towards Elk.
“So what are you going to do? I will regard this ti as bad luck but what about your older problems that are yet to be solved?”
“You gotten friendlier with that man,right? He has so good equipnts, snatch a single weapon from him!”
“It’s impossible. At a glance he does seem like soone who isn’t thinking about anything, but he has ridiculous physical strength. If I make a blunder while doing that, I might be killed.”
“That is troubleso. But what are you gonna do, go for so other adventurer?”
“......I reject. I really don’t want to involve unrelated people in this.”
“You say that after doing it, huh, did you go blind by the money he has? I won’t let you say that it’s wrong?”
“......!”
“......Let’s say you don’t do that. Then how are you going to make money? You won’t make it with proper ans, even you should know it, right?”
“......I might be able to make it from those proper ans. If I can get him to fight for ......”
“Hmm, I see. In that case, well, good luck. I’m telling you once again that I won’t increase the deadline.”
He steps near Elk and then whispers in her ears.
“You know what happens......if you don’t make it?”
Saying that the man turns back and leaves the place.
The other n follow after him.
There are those who are cursing Elk, so are clicking their tongues and those who don’t have any intention to both are looking at her with lustful eyes,
After they all disappear in the darkness after following the man at front,
Elk clenches her fist very tightly that blood starts flowing from it.
