Hi Guys
There’s nothing interesting in this chapter *whistles suspiciously*…. nothing interesting at all….
Stead Bread.
“This is good, we’ll buy it and go ho.”
I was excited after finding a bamboo stear in a shop in the Imperial Capital. Though it seems to be intended as a colander, and not a stear.
“Ah, yes.” “Let’s make so dessert with this today.” “What kind of dessert?” “Look forward to it.”
There doesn’t seem to be many kinds of dessert in this world. Fruit and a hard biscuit at best. Though people like the Duke & Cassia may have sothing.
There’s probably no helping it for commoners. Roxanne really enjoyed the caral too.
We went ho first, and then out to buy eggs and milk. Sugar is a good price in this world. High level kobolds seem to drop kobold sugar.
I haven’t made dessert so far. I could make crepes with milk, flour, egg & sugar, but I never made them in Japan, so I haven’t tried it here either. However, if I have a stear, I can do sothing.
Like crepes, I’ve never made pudding either, but I suddenly have a craving for it. Pudding will require milk, egg, and sugar. Vanilla essence is impossible. I can get caral by boiling down the sugar, so I’ll manage sohow.
Will there be problems with the quantity and steaming ti? Perhaps I’ll have to try it several tis.
I have previously made stead bread in a class at ho. The raw materials were flour, sugar, milk, egg, and bicarbonate soda. For bicarbonate soda, there is the shell powder that I use to make soap.
First of all, the dough is made and placed down. Roxanne watches as I make the dough. Water is boiled in the wok, and the steaming basket is placed over the water. The dough is wrapped in a cloth, and placed in a cup in the steaming basket, and a wooden board is placed on top. While it’s steaming, Roxanne watches the low fla to maintain the temperature.
In the anti, I went to et Sherry in the Imperial Capital.
“There’s a sweet sll.”
Sherry slls like sake, but Roxanne isn’t comnting on that. I can’t sll it, is it sweet? People who can sniff out demons are different.
After dinner, the steaming basket is removed from the wok, and Roxanne takes a pudding. It’s soft when you remove it from the cup. It stead well, and has increased in moisture.
“Let’s eat.” “Yes.” “Let’s.”
When I bite into it, it has a springy texture. It’s not bad. Maybe a little too much sugar.
“Oh, it’s delicious, Master.” “This is great.”
It seems to be quite popular with these two. They put the stead bread in their mouths with a smile. I will increase the harem mbers. This might have atoned for my sins a bit.
I’ll make it sotis from now on. It’s inconvenient that the stead bread is high in calories.
“Well then, Master, this is a gift from . Please continue to look after in the future.”
When the al ends, the clothes that Roxanne bought today are handed out. I stand up and receive it gratefully.
“Thank you. Please continue to look after as well.” “Yes. Next, this is a present for Sherry from .” “Ah, thank you. I’ll take good care of it Roxanne.”
Sherry stands and receives so clothes from Roxanne. Sherry seems to have reduced the amount of sake she drunk at the library. I handle the work after dinner properly. Sherry’s kiss still slls a little of alcohol.
The next morning, after adventuring in Haruba’s labyrinth, we deliver the tenth mirror.
“We should complete so fras for the mirrors soon.” “I see.” “Michio, have you known the broker Luke long?”
When I put the gold coin away in the item box, Gozer is there.
“Not really that long.” “He seems to be quite an excellent broker. I employed his father who was also a broker.” “You did?”
Luke’s father was a broker? For a broker, a connection with an order of knights and nobles is a lifeline. It’s understandable that he could inherit acquaintances.
“He’s a broker I can trust. If I have work for you, is it alright to contact you through Luke?”
A broker as a middleman.
“Through Luke.” “I hear that you live in Quratar, Michio. It’s difficult for to go there, but Luke often has ssengers here on errands.”
Ten mirrors might not be enough. If they use them as gifts, they’ll need to replenish them. They’d like to make contact whenever they have business. So they’ll use Luke?
“If that’s alright, it’s fine with .”
I okayed it and left Bode.
After breakfast, Sherry fuses a monster card. I was a bit worried about her state after drinking sake, so I didn’t let her do it last night. Would it be alright even if she was drunk?
Is there a chance to fail because of sake? Since it’s a skill, does it matter? If you get too drunk to use the incantation, the skill will fail to start. It’s not sothing I need to forcefully try out.
“It worked.”
Without alcohol, of course it succeeded.
Rod of Offerings: Skill slots – 2xIntelect, empty, empty.
It’s a Rod of Offerings. There are still two remaining empty skill slots as well.
“Great, as expected of Sherry.” “Thank you.”
Sherry exhales greatly. She still seems to be uneasy about fusing monster cards. There were two monster cards at stake this ti, so it can’t be helped.
Imdiately, we went to Haruba’s labyrinth to try it out. First, a group of two NT Ant’s and a Mino appeared. I use a [Water storm].
Water magic is the ants weakness, and I use a second shot. They are annihilated before they get to us. I use a fireball on the remaining cow. Roxanne dodges the mino’s attack, and I use another fireball.
The demon falls. Two water spells on the NT Ant Lv11, plus an additional two [Fire ball]’s on the Mino, so four spells total? Mino was five before, and is now four. Even if they say 2X, it doesn’t seem to an double damage.
Since the spell amount decreased, our hunting improved. If I double it, it’s eight for the demons on the 12th floor. That should be enough.
We advanced quickly, and arrived at the boss room. When you open the door, there’s just another room with a door at the other side. The standby room.
“Should we try the 12th floor today?”
The 11th floor boss is poked full of holes with Durandal. It tried to use it’s skill several tis, but everything was cancelled. After the boss, we set foot on the 12th floor.
“The demon on the 12th floor is the Grass Bee. It flies and shoots needles from a distance. You might get poisoned because there is poison in the needles.”
Poison attack from a distance. Seriously?
“As expected, the demon on the 12th floor is strong.” “It doesn’t have magic resistance, and has a weakness to wind magic. That’s not just limited to Grass Bee, any flying demon seems to have a weakness to wind.”
After the explanation from Sherry, Roxanne leads us to a place with a Grass Bee. One huge bee is flying. Is it the bee version of NT Ant? It’s body is black, and it’s legs are yellow.
I use [Breeze storm] from a distance. If I used a single target magic from this distance it would be avoided. I could hit it if I let it get a bit closer, but it’s the first ti facing this type of demon so I want to attack as early as possible.
When the [Breeze storm] hit, the bee was tossed around, up, down, left & right very intensely. It looks to be effective. If it was a human, the brain would be shaken up. It might not be that serious since it’s a bee.
The second shot is the [Breeze ball]. The 3rd is used straight after. The Grass Bee did not use it’s distance attack as it approached. It makes a strange buzzing sound as it approaches.
Roxanne takes the lead, and dodges a sword like dash from the bee. Sherry thrusts her spear. Because of Roxanne, I get a good chance and use another [Breeze ball].
The buzzing stops, and the bee falls. It was hovering, and then suddenly fell with a crash. A yellow leg is lying on the ground.
Four? It’s the sa number as the demons on the 11th floor. Demons on the 12th floor are twice as strong as demon on the lower floors, but wind magic is it’s weakness and is twice as strong against it.
I only need to use wind magic on Haruba’s 12th floor. Four will be alright even if NT Ant appears. It seems we can fight on Haruba’s 12th floor.
Before long, the Grass Bee becos smoke and disappears leaving Beeswax behind.
“It’s beeswax? Can you make candles from it?” “If you sell it to the guild, craftsn will turn it into candles. It’s not a very precious material, so the guild is the only place that really buys it.”
Sherry tells us. There doesn’t seem to be a skill to make candles from beeswax. They can still make them despite that.
“It is useful for maintenance on leather equipnt. If you don’t mind, can I use so?” “Sure.” “Thank you.”
You use it just as wax? Giving so to Roxanne will be good. I put it in the item box for now, but I’m running out of space.
Now that I know we can fight here, that will do for today. It’s ti to visit the slave trader in the Imperial Capital.
“As I ntioned earlier, I’m going to the Imperial Capital. Do the two of you want to co as well?” “Yes. I’ll co.” “Um, is it alright?”
Sherry hesitated.
“It will be a new companion for the two of you, so I want to hear your opinions.” “It’s alright, Sherry.” “Oh, Roxanne was there when you t . Please let co as well then.”
Roxanne and Sherry will co along, so the three of us go to the adventurers guild in the Imperial Capital. Towards the business of the slave trader. I heard about the place from Alan.
There’s a place surrounded by a wall. An amazing building cos into view. The gate is beautiful. It seems they are quite profitable.
“This must be it.” “It looks like it.”
Is the wall to prevent people from getting out? The gate is opened, and we went in. A man ca out to et us straight away.
“I have co by a referral, and I would like to speak to soone about a purchase.” “I understand. This way please.”
I pass over the letter of introduction, and the man guides us into the building. The man left us in a room near the entrance.
“Welco, I am the master of this business.”
After waiting a while, a different man cos to us. He is a slave trader Lv6.
“I look forward to doing business with you.” “Co with please.”
The slave trader guides us to one of the back rooms. I sit on the sofa, and three herbal teas are prepared. Since I gave him a letter of introduction, there shouldn’t be any misunderstanding about selling Roxanne & Sherry.
“Thank you.”
I drink a bit of the herbal tea. If I consider that this place trades people, I can’t trust them that much. Though I shouldn’t comnt, since I’ve bought slaves.
“I saw the letter of introduction from Alan the slave trader in Vale, and that you’re looking for a master smith.” “No, I no longer need a master smith.” “Okay.”
The slave trader looks at Sherry for a mont. You can tell she is a dwarf just by looking. I am not selling her.
“I’m looking for a woman who can fight in the labyrinth.” “A combat slave, an adventurer, or explorer?” “And soone who can speak Brahim.”
Young and beautiful would be good, but I won’t say that.
“In the Imperial Capital, a beautiful female combat slave is in high demand because there are a lot of people who explore labyrinths in the capital. We have prepared a lot of them, so surely we can find one that is to your satisfaction.” “I hope so.” “Lets go to their room for a look then. If there is any you are interested in then you can have a talk with them.”
He seems to have realized even if I didn’t say it. Are they sorted by looks?
“I understand.”
I follow the slave trader to the third floor. Roxanne and Sherry can co along since it’s the room for females.
“The second floor has won who are older, or not suited for combat. If you are interested we can have a look through there afterwards.” “That probably won’t be necessary.”
There is a sign for war potential on the frawork. I hope they aren’t recomnding sothing strange. The slave trader went in, I looked to Sherry and then went into the room.
“An explorer is looking for party mbers. Will everyone that understands Brahim please line up here.”
The slave trader arranges the slaves. There’s about ten people. It’s not really much.
There are people with no motivation, and so interested, with various different expressions. All the mbers seem better than the unmotivated ones in Vale. It must be true that there is a lot of demand for combat slaves in the Imperial Capital.
Even so, it’s over quickly because there is only a few. Is a woman with a nice face, or a motivated face better?
We cross the room, and are guided to the next room. As expected, there are more than ten people. They spread them out instead of packing them into one room.
There isn’t anyone extrely beautiful in the next room. We went around other rooms, and there wasn’t any there either. Is it impossible for to expect the sa level as Roxanne and Sherry? I’ll have to compromise a bit.
“Is that all?” “The following room has people without any experience with n. They are a bit expensive for a combat slave.” “That’s alright.”
They had a category like that. The ones that understand brahim arrange themselves. There is one beautiful woman in this room, but she is obviously unmotivated. They don’t want to look at .
I see. They are the ones aiming for a wealthy man like Sherry ntioned. They know they are beautiful. If they have good looks, they can lead their master around by the nose.
It’s troubleso and dangerous to go into the labyrinth, and they want to avoid it. Beautiful won are aiming for rich n. A woman aiming for a rich man can’t aim to be a combat slave? Roxanne and Sherry are beautiful, and wanted to be combat slaves.
If I bought them, would they fight? Would they help our war potential?
“On to the next room.” “Ok.”
We enter the next room. So won line up. After they have lined up, a cat girl who stood up late lines up.
Ah, she’s beautiful.
