Watashi Ga Betsu No Sekai De Umarekawatta
10-10: Explorer 1
"Then, thank you to everyone for their rescue…!"
"And for those of us who return safely, today let's drink all night…!"
"Yes…"
The party began with the greetings of leader shi…
His name was Koshin and he seemed to be the leader of a group of veteran explorers named [White Horse Mane]…
Gathering multiple parties and then going into the labyrinth to the deepest like this was not their first time…
The party is located in the square where stalls gather in front of the street with bungalows 300 meters east of the west gate. About 30 food stalls and 10 beverage stalls lined up…
The light from the light signs was brightly lit…
Apparently, life magic witches use magic to illuminate it…
Besides us, there were also other explorers and people who were like day laborers like the ones who enjoyed the food and liquor from the stalls…
Among them, there were young women in sensual clothes and strange and sexy young men here and there and sprinkling their charms…
They both look like prostitutes…
One part of the square has been occupied today…
Looks like they've already ordered one tavern and three food stalls for the party…
There were no chairs and tables, it seemed like we were going to eat and drink in a circle, sitting on the ground…
Totona put a piece of cloth in the corner for where we are sitting now…
The menu for this party is grilled meat, dried meat, boiled beans and boiled potatoes…
They may not be shabby since Koshin-shi said as he joked, “This is a party” before the party starts…
"Witch san, thank you for her clothes back then…"
"Mwu…?"
The two people from [Beautiful Wingss] came to Mia while carrying something that looked like folded clothes…
Since Mia who looks troubled seeks help from me, I act on her…
"Please wear that outfit if there's no problem with you…"
"If you expose too much skin, insects can come…"
The two seemed to wrap some cloth around their bodies, although they could hide important places, their shoulders and stomachs were exposed, it was quite sensual…
"Is that okay…?"
"Thank you very much, same Chevalier…"
They both must be embarrassed, they started wearing cheap clothes…
They let their coats fold because of the heat…
"Hard…"
"This meat is quite heavy…"
"Haha, chibi-chan, you wouldn't chew it if you ate like that…"
"You sliced it with a knife and ate it…"
Ciel biting meat with sound “pssh”…
The person who seemed to be the owner of the stall giving him advice looked at him in wonder…
"Is that tendon meat…?"
Totona cut a thin slice of meat, placed it on a plate and gave it to me…
I chewed that meat in my mouth, it's hard…
It can be softened if boiled in a pressure cooker…
With a strange foul smell, it's hard to say that it's delicious, but also not bad enough to make you vomit, it's soft…
"It may not be his taste for Nobles alike since it is monster meat…"
"Insect Meat is cheap, and you'll get used to it when you eat it every day." - WEB…"
It seemed like this roast and dried meat were made from insect-type monsters…
It was pitch-black meat even before it was roasted and it was as strong as animal tendon meat…
What kind of insect they are, even explorers just call it [Insect meat] or [Meats] because supplies change every day…
It's so cheap, one skewer of meat costs only a penny…
"When I had just become an explorer, I often followed the powerful entourage from behind and collected monster meat after they finished taking the materials…"
"Despite it being cash, it's pretty sneaky, huh…"
There seemed to be many explorers who only collected shells or claws that could be money from insect-type monsters and then there were also explorers who specialized in collecting meat from the remains…
The people who gathered the monster meat were called [Corpse Retrievers (Looter)] and were seen as the lowest…
How strange the story is considering this is a good job supplying food like this…
Some of the young explorers showed off acrobatics like sword dances in the middle of the explorer circle…
When it was over, Ciel came to the center…
"Ciel…"
I wonder if someone instigated him, he demonstrated the jump just like they had done on the mantis…
Whoomph, towards the place that jumped five meters upwards, cheers came from the surroundings…
Cronoa caught Ciel who fell…
Ciel and also the audience who begged the two to make the leap were scolded by Lina as they made dust enter the food, she was desperate…
"These nuts and potatoes are soft…"
"Mrs…"
There are many vegetables though expensive in the labyrinth city…
"It's also monster meat…"
"It's not a piece of meat, you know…"
"They came from the bodies of plant-type monsters named Walking Bean and Hopping Potato…"
Looks like these beans and potatoes were taken from monsters…
The labyrinth is not only a mine, but also a garden and a farm…
Beans have a hard skin and a strange grassy smell…
There is a white fiber that looks like orange in it, this part is rather bitter…
When I peeled off the part and then scooped the inside and ate it, it tasted like a normal bean…
"As expected of the same Nobles…"
"You're smooth…"
"Maybe I should also use a spoon…?"
Oops, I didn't mean to look polite…
Even though I just wanted to take part in it and taste it, I instead got a strange admiration…
Potatoes have a thin sweet taste of potatoes and a sticky rice flavor…
They told me that the purple part inside the potato was poisonous so I didn't have to eat it…
Although it seems that it only causes stomach pain, there is no danger to life…
<< Walking Bean >> is a 30 cm tall pod with hands and feet and there are 2-3 nuts inside the pod after you beat it…
Since it's four times bigger than a normal bean, it looks like you can get a penny out of that 20…
Hopping Potato was a strange potato-type monster that leaped up and down with a spring, as big as a Walking Bean…
You can get 10 kilograms of potatoes from one monster…
Because a kilo is a penny, you can get money from it…
A middle-aged spearman told me that you could easily defeat them by just setting up your spear as they attacked by bumping themselves…
This man had been excitedly talking about Lina and Tiane along with the spear since a while ago…
Both of them were area 14 monsters and explorers who had lost the competition for monsters in the first large area often hunted them…
Surprisingly, these two monsters neither gave Exp at all nor gave away a little…
They were monsters no doubt because they had magic cores the size of a grain of rice, but there seemed to be people who did not level up despite hunting them for a year…
Therefore, they told me the theory of the poor explorers, which is to earn income in that area until you have enough money to buy equipment and then move to another area…
"Now, now Chevalier's the same…"
"Let's pour a little for you…"
"Thank you…"
I tasted the beer I received in the cup…
It's sour and it's not tasty…
It tastes like diluted beer mixed with vinegar…
According to him this was a luxury item, everyone drank it deliciously…
The strength of alcohol is less than 5%…
"Ara, Chevalier alike, you can't drink ale in a subtle way…!"
"You should drink it like this, so, in one gulp…!"
It seemed like beauty san [Beautiful Wingss] changed when she drank liquor, she excitedly talked about how to drink ale…
I forbid our members to drink alcohol because it would be as chaotic as ever…
Everyone drank the fruit water I brought…
There were also a few small barrels of wine and spirits between them and then a quick contest of drinks occurred not long after the start of the party…
Although the liquor was just a normal item I bought from the liquor store along the way here, it was nice that they happily accepted it…
The soldiers who were patrolling with red hard leather armor came about 3-4 hours after sunset…
They ordered us to disband in a loud voice because there was a ban on doing business late at night in this city…
Since I couldn't leave the [Beautiful Wingss] completely unconscious and I didn't know their address, I decided to let Lina and Tiane take them to the mansion…
The living room was empty, so they could sleep there…
We said thanks to Koshin shi who couldn't even articulate the words properly from his drunkenness and returned to the mansion…
"We were so troublesome to you yesterday…"
"We're so sorry…"
[Beautiful Wingss] apologized for last night while enduring the headache from the hangover…
They usually didn't drink too much at the bar, but they left last night because Koshin shi was going to treat him…
I offered them magic potions to get drunk and invited them to breakfast…
They were very touched by Totona's cooked breakfast, perhaps it was to their taste…
Totona who looks proud when embarrassed by the compliment is impressive…
I heard at the party yesterday, their fine for the ant plague case was two gold coins for each…
It seemed like they were borrowing money to pay for it, but the debt increased by 30% every 10 days and they would be sold as slaves if they could not pay interest every month…
I thought it was a usury, but if I were to think about the high death rate of the explorers who died in the labyrinth, it might be appropriate…
I offered them both to let me take over their debts…
Of course, this is not out of sympathy…
Briefly speaking, this was part of the goal for the labyrinth city orphanage plan…
I thought of something lately for this matter and I concluded that training the [Baggage Carriers] children who wanted to become explorers in the labyrinth to become independent explorers was the fastest…
They should be able to protect themselves once they reach a certain limit level and if they want stability, I can refer them to be soldiers or subordinates of BaronetMuno in his territory…
The former children [Baggage Carriers] who had become independent explorers could then raise the children of the next generation and become a nice circle…
The problem with maintenance is that if following our training regime, they will level up without gaining the minimum knowledge…
As a result, they will become arrogant, careless and think that they will not die…
Then I heard stories about their debts when I was looking for a teacher, so I stalked them…
These girls are qualified because they have gone through hardships as explorers…
Both should be enough for a while, but since the three beastkins from the ant plague case are also suffering from interest rates, let's think about raising personnel right away…
I can't go with Lina and the others for the next two days…
During that time, I will ask everyone to train both…
