Day 20: Tooru
It’s been resolved.
Just some random bullying.
Makia here.
I don’t know what’s going on or what had been resolved, but it looks like he has cracked the ‘Crayfish Case’ despite having suspected me of it.
“... Well, looks like things aren’t going too well for that guy.”
On my side, after seeing Tooru’s pitiful appearance at Karted, I decide to cease throwing acorn bombs at him and to behave like a proper young lady f...

“Wow, they worked really well.”
While thinking about what to make for dinner, I observed how the Vampire Mosquitoes just fall out of the sky as they approached us. Their fallen bodies disappeared and were replaced by more Drop items once they, er, expired.
“We’ve already picked up so many Drop items, but even more are piling up outside…” I muttered.
“”Aruji~ should I pick them up~?””
“Thank you, Sui~ But there's no need.”
By the way, the D...

When we stepped off the stairs for the 39th floor, we found ourselves in a forest filled with lush green trees.
“I-it’s a forest,” I said redundantly.
“Umu, looks like a field-type dungeon.”
“”Like the one in Doran, right? That’s the city where that pervert lives.”
“Ahahaha,” I can’t refute that… [5]

“Hm?” I squinted in the direction Sui’s tentacle was pointing. It look...

Gumihou: …well, that escalated. Here’s the aftermath, nice and realistic-ish.
We rested all night.
At dawn, or what passes as dawn here, we made our way back to the heavy door leading towards the Boss Room.
“Let’s go,” said Fer as he pushed the door open with his forepaw.
“Ugh, 12 of them…”
[5a]
““Fuhahahah! The chances of getting a meat Drop has just risen!””
“”Meat~!””
Yeah, worrying ...

Day 15: Makia
Hey, isn’t this enough?
Come back, I’m not angry anymore.
This is Tooru.
Makia had suddenly changed her attitude, I wonder if she is starting to feel a little lonely.
Also, there is a dead crayfish in my bag.
“..... Woah ……..”
Is this harassment?
It is harassment, isn’t it?
I can’t say that I reacted well. Rather, thanks to the build up of everything that has been happening, a ...

The orange glow of the sunset is reflected from the waves of the sea.
The dusk is short, and as I listen to the seabirds calling to each other, I stood there like a wrung out rag, a little depressed and uncharacteristically melancholic.
“... …”
I sit on the embankment without stepping onto the beach, just staring at the distant waves. I am relieved to have reached the end of the day without dying. I’m really tired.
Tired and… sleepy.
I’m so exhausted....

Gumihou: …it’s alright, Gumi’s here.
““Hey, Fer. Shouldn’t we go to the lower floors soon?””
“Muu, I suppose so. We have a decent amount of meat now, but…”
““You say that, but we’ll never leave this floor if we keep on hunting for meat.””
“Fine, this is a good floor for gathering meat, but it lacks excitement.”
“”Heh, you’re right. Ou! Onwards to more excitement!””

Fer, Dora-chan and Sui were very devoted to their Gigantic Minotaur Hunt.
Every single Minotaur we came across was immediately hunted down and their meat Drops gathered with great enthusiasm. Even so, they were still not satisfied.
Especially when the monsters they hunted were duds or gave out ‘only’ hide, mace or magic stones.
“”Ehh, no meat again?!”” Dora-chan sounded both outraged and disappoint...

To Fer and the rest, the Gigantic Minotaurs might as well be walking pieces of meat. As soon as a group of Gigantic Minotaurs stampeded over, they immediately took damage from three different sides.
Once the barrage of firepower was over, the only ...

A well-dressed young man is standing right behind me.
Somehow, he manages to get behind me without making a sound. The guy looks kind of shady with his silver chained monocle and a thin pipe extending from his lips.
Strong smelling smoke wafts from the pipe, rising up to the church’s high ceilings. [1] The fact that I had not detected him coming up behind me even with him smoking something strong is kind of concerning.

The city centre church in Karted is a pretty tranquil place, contrary to the busy and bustling [1] merchant town.
There is a beautiful stained glass window overlooking the church centre from the building.
It depicts the nine gods in a row in accordance with the Maydea myths. However, whenever I see this stained glass window, I always wondered: Why is it that only the Ninth God faces forward while the rest look to the side.
The stained glass has a rather cold quality to it, w...

When our group descended to the 36th Floor, we heard a cry from the distance.

It was getting closer.

A pack of dogs appeared. They looked like giant Doberman dogs about the size of Fer.

The Adventurers and I were both stunned to see each other.
I, I’m sorry?
This was a dangerous dungeon where Adventurers often risk their lives and limbs to make a living while I… I was cooking food on a magic stove…
I felt like I should rethink some of my life choices…
On the other hand, Fer was impatient for his food.
“Oi, hurry up.”
That woke me up from my daze. The random Adventurers who had just arrived looked a little surprised to see a tal...

Little children should just eat lemon cake.

I am this close to tearing up the note left by Tooru.

Isn’t that guy the worst?
How is it that someone going to Karted to work ended up stuffing himself with delicious seafood?

You can stop coming.
Let me put it simply, I want someone more handsome and obedient.
“....”
I return to the Odille mansion exhausted and find this note on Makia’s door.
It has been seven days since our big quarrel, but she still refuses to appear in front of me.
Still, she would make sure to throw acorn bombs at me in the morning just when I am leaving the building. She had been setting up all kinds of traps lately....

Another unique western inspired Japanese recipe. Even then, it’s pretty rare. This one is more like an easy pie hack.
There was also a rather out of place interaction which Gumi later realized was created just to explain why Mukouda suddenly decided to make the Pirozhki Bread Pie recipe.

After our mission from God was completed, we returned to the Teleportation room.
“Right, into the Magic Circle everyone.”

After chanting the appropriate words to return to the starting floor, there was that familiar sensation of floating just as a roller coaster was about to dip down… the next second later, we were...

A long month stretches out before me.
After the actual setting up of the Karted school, they requested Delia Fields to support their canteen-related operations.
Karted has been around for a long time and is now a lively port city that is very different from the idyllic Delia Fields. There are a lot more people for one thing, and with goods coming and going all the time, lives move pretty quickly here.
It’s a town where everything seems to be on the go all the time.

Hey, it’s been a long time, Makia here!
I had a scuffle with Tooru just now.
After he left the room, I stood behind the door, waiting for him to leave. When I judged that he was far enough, I finally let go.
“Fufufu, ufufufu”
With my left hand clenched tightly, I made my way to the wooden desk, pulled out a drawer with my right hand and withdrew a white handkerchief.
After that, I open my hand and drop Tooru’s hair [1] onto the handkerchief.

We teleported to a dimly lit stone room.
The mossy stone walls emitted some kind of neutral light that was neither too bright nor dark, peculiar to dungeons. It certainly gave off the RPG dungeon atmosphere.
This dungeon kind of reminded me of the one from Avering. Although, from what I had heard, Brixt’s dungeon was easily twice the size of Avering’s.

Tooru Suffers a Direct Hit
Tooru here.
Recently, I have decided to visit Karted with Master.
After Makia’s big tantrum, we ended up deciding to travel back and forth between Delia Fields. Even so, Makia was still fiercely opposed to me making the trip.
She rarely screamed or throw tantrums in front of the Master and the lady, [1] they clearly don’t know what to do when she eventually stomped off to hide away in her room.

I am Elena Odelle.
Today, I’m going to talk about something strange and interesting that is happening within our mansion.
It all started about a month ago.
The neighbouring town, Karted, wanted to build a large school in their town and asked us to cooperate regarding matters related to the school cafeteria.
As Ruskia’s most important food-producing region, Delia Fields have a lot of people who specialize in food-related industries so it made sense for them to appro...

When it comes to energy replenishing dish, the general idea would be a ‘Stamina Dish’ or an energy replenishing dish.
In short, a bold and classic Pork Liver Stir-Fry.
