Isekai Tensei no Boukensha
Chapter 3-15: The Reunion of Fate?
The reunion with him was sudden. I was able to finally meet what I was eager to meet.
He was standing quietly in front of a shop. The figure looked divine, as if it were a painting depicting a saint.
When I realized, I stood in front of him and stroked him...
"Auntie! There's no more rice!
I heard rice in a 10kg or so hemp bag pointing to my aunt at the store.
This rice is not indica rice, which we have seen before in this world. I ate like every day in my previous life, very similar to Japonica rice.
"I still have 50 kg in the back. How much more do you want?
Yes, my aunt asks, but that's decided...
"All!"
For me, ex-Japanese, Japonica rice is whatever it takes!
My aunt was surprised, but she would be happy to have all the inventory. I hurried to speak to the employee in the back and brought five hemp bags similar to what I had in my hand.
In total it was 60kg, 1800G for the amount, but because I bought it in bulk, or my aunt gave me a 100G discount.
I guess it's unusual for a guy to buy so much at the top. Auntie was laughing.
When I finished accounting, I heard that this rice is grown in some parts of the north and is not very popular because it is less circulating than indica rice and is also sticky, and this time a merchant I happen to know asked me to buy it, but I was just worried about what to do because I couldn't sell it.
My aunt waved at me, and we (...) left the store behind... actually it's the dungeon home now.
Jeanne and Aura seemed surprised by my sudden behavior and just didn't say a word.
"Dear Tenma, what are you going to do with buying so much rice... I have never cooked this type of rice..."
Aura seems to think she can be made to cook, and asks anxiously,
"It's okay, I'll cook this!
I won't let any of you get in the way of this monumental encounter! And I had made up my mind, so I'm not going to let Aura do it either.
But my footsteps since I bought rice seemed lighter than I thought, and Jeanne and Aura, who were coming behind me, were letting me breathe a little.
I suppressed my feelings and consciously decided to slow down.
Shortly afterwards, I went to my room and took the pot out of my bag.
When we were in Kukri Village, this was a dish we all made ourselves to eat pot, and it also has a proper lid.
When I say rice, I have the image of cooking in a feather pot, but I have never cooked, and I have no feather pot, so I decided to substitute it in a dirt pot.
First, grind the rice and keep it on the water, pull it out of the water after thirty minutes and add the rice to the earthen pot, pour the same amount of water to flatten the rice.
Then apply your hand to the pizza kiln so that you can set the earthen pot and magically set it on fire intermittently.
At first heat it over a high heat until it boils guzzly, when it boils, heat it over low heat until it stops making noise, then let it down from the fire and steam it...... that's it!
First, I'll make sure the rice I cooked tastes like that thing...
"Good......"
The nostalgic flavour spreads to my mouth. Perhaps the rice quality will be lower than that of the previous life. But that doesn't matter... No, I don't care! Because we eat the same kind of rice as we had in previous life, the taste comes second.
The thing that bothered me the most about the rice I'm eating was, unexpectedly, Aura.
"Dear Tenma, may I have a sip?
Jeanne and Aura are having a different dinner than me. It was prepared by Aura, lined with bread and stewed meat in soup.
Recently, we were losing extra reluctance from Jeanne and Aura, and this one was getting weirdly unnoticed, so we were spending time together and without pain.
"Ho."
I gave it to Aura for every plate (I don't have a tea bowl, so I serve it on the plate). Aura is bewildered, but mouths the rice...
"Delicious..."
And I was surprised. Maybe cooking rice like this is unusual in this world.
Besides, this cooking method is one I learned in my previous life, so much so that I self-admire myself for being deliciously cooked.
You were inspired by me and Aura, and Jeanne seems to have shown interest, too, and she pulls a plate over here.
In the end, there wasn't enough cooked rice and I decided to cook extra.
The Shilowmals initially showed interest, but took a bite to marvel at the heat and stopped wanting it.
In the future, if you see this rice, decide to collect it with the momentum to buy it up!
Anyway, if I have a magic bag, I don't have to worry about rotting, and now my bag can be stored without difficulty where it was 1-2t.
I enjoyed the taste of dinner for a long time and dived into the futon that night in a very easy mood.
The next day is a continuation of the dungeon offensive. The starting location is from eleven levels.
Convince the two of them to start the offensive because they destroyed the G's nest the day before, so they won't see each other that way.
Thirty minutes after the start, so far, as expected, I haven't seen what G looks like.
Moreover, perhaps because after seeing the large group of G, the two did not pull a single step by their opponents, even demons such as Yasde on spiders and muckades, rather than the immortals.
Immediately after that, he discovered the stairs and went for the lower floor.
Twelve tiers...... lots of bats and spiders, but the two use magic to distance themselves and add attack. Attacks had begun at first, but gradually it seemed to be clear where attacks such as joints and abdomen were easy to get through, so that they could be won dangerously.
Thirteen tiers...... here Aura eats the attack. The two were moving forward vigilantly around the area, but they didn't seem to know what their properties were, and were about to get bitten by a spider sticking to the ceiling.
But I didn't get hurt badly because I noticed the spider existed, and Aura kicked it on the verge of getting bit.
The insect type may also stick to the ceiling, so be careful and resume the teaching strategy.
Fourteen tiers...... Now Yasde had attacked from the ceiling, but the two men, who were also on guard against the ceiling as earlier cautioned, avoided this without difficulty, and Jeanne was feeding the counter.
We both seem to have been able to handle weapons for the most part, and if it's a demon that's not that big, it can be slaughtered in one blow.
Fifteen tiers...... I began to see the color of much fatigue in both of us. Seems to have started to lose focus, eating demonic counterattacks more and more. I've pinched a break along the way, but it's time for the limits to be close.
I've already started diving and it's been about five hours. It's a calculation that's breaking through in roughly an hour per tier to this point.
You can go back here, but there should have been a staircase near here, so I'll let the two of you use the potion and then let it go a little further.
Sixteen hierarchies...... This hierarchy was a surprise to both of us because things were different than before. But the hierarchy I met the two of them was on the lower floor, so I asked them if they thought it was strange, apparently the Viscount of their previous husband told the adventurer on the road guide that he couldn't do it, hitchhiked to the thirtieth floor, then started the offense, and was attacked by Mukade during a break at the immediate end of the stairs.
Then you won't have to be surprised at this place. But I guess the Viscount was stupid, too. It's like I went out of my way to feed the demon (Mukade) without knowing who I am.
Aside from that, I dug up the roots of nearby trees and started collecting sirloins a long time ago.
Jeanne seemed to wonder what she was doing, peeking into my hand, but the moment she saw the eel and heard its use, she got a great deal of momentum and distance from me.
Aura seemed to know that the sirloin would be edible, and she didn't say anything, but she had a bitter laugh on her face...... the eel, even though it was delicious...
Finally - I secured your share and ended it today.
That night, I enjoyed the Immortal dish for a long time, but Jeanne's rejection was strong and she didn't listen to me for a while afterwards.
Aura seemed interested as a cook, mouthed the soup terribly and was surprised at its deliciousness, but could not bake butter. Jeanne was stunned that Aura had spoken of the immortal dish.
The chicks at Amy's are getting bigger these days, and they can eat without having to rinse down the eels, which reduces Amy's mental burden, she said.
By the way, I had Amy do my room cleaning and so on at the price of giving Amy an eel and a demonic nucleus, but since Aura came, I don't need it anymore, so now I'm in the dark... I don't really need the money, but I have a worldly body, so I'm a disciple, so I'm in the dark.
I felt that my distance from Aura had shrunk with the imobes, but vice versa I felt that my distance with Jeanne had opened.
I decided to get ready for a bath thinking it wouldn't work... by the way, there's no bath-related and lucky sketchy event happening at the moment... I'm not going to let it happen more than that!
Was it bad you were thinking about that... the bath event finally happened... well, I'm the victim!
Rarely when I first tried to get in, Jeanne, who hadn't noticed I was there, came into the carriage and locked my son on perfectly... I had nothing to do with being bare in the middle of the carriage...
But until you scream, don't you have to call Aura!
Because of that, we've broken into the carriage as far as Aura and Amy!
Well, I hid myself in the bathroom then, but then I had a hard time solving Amy's misunderstanding...
Ultimately Aura explained it to me, but until then the mental damage was amazing...
By the way, Amy heard Jeanne when she came to say thank you to me for the eels, so she followed Aura reflexively.
But, Jeanne... you screamed, but you didn't take your eyes off my son... I won't pursue it with samurai compassion, but it was the night I vowed to take care of everything in the future.
The next morning, it's also a dungeon offense today...
"Jeanne, how are you..."
The moment I spoke to Jeanne, she disappeared from my sight... no, not even on the futon.
Even then, I try to look at the fold and talk to Jeanne, but hide behind Aura, behind Shiloumal, hide my face with Solomon... I can't hide my body with Solomon, Mr. Jeanne...
Jeanne keeps avoiding me.
That's the same even if you're diving into a dungeon. Even to talk to Aura,
"Jeanne...... you're adorable"
And with a grinning smile, he didn't get on with my consultation...... does Aura enjoy this state of affairs, or occasionally, he smiled compared to me and Jeanne.
The Dungeon Attack continues while the Pledge of Request does not function...
On the eleventh tier, we proceeded with vigilance in the raid of G, but we can't even see its shadow so far as to see if we were able to exterminate most of it yesterday.
When that happened, Jeanne and Aura got back on track and the offensive speed went up.
The strength of the two is considerably higher than it was when we met, and enhanced with weapons and improved magic skills will probably make them comparable to C-ranked adventurers.
However, if you fought with magic from the front, and only in combat, you can still do it as a D-rank adventurer, even if you subtract it.
Even on the twelve tiers, I didn't see a G, and the two of them (me, too) were clearly relieved.
I'm relieved, but don't forget to pay attention to your surroundings as before. Now, from directly above the two, a spider-shaped demon tried to strike, but the two intercepted this without difficulty.
By the way, it was a spider I had eaten before, so I recovered the body responsibly.
After that, it took time, but we were able to break through the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth hierarchies,
"Jeanne, it's time to take a break..."
And when I speak, I still hide behind Aura...
And Aura is smiling, alas, as always...
Not to mention getting here breaks my heart... and sending a thought like that, I had eyes with Jeanne looking at this one from behind Aura... but she hides again. He looked either heartless or red in the face, but couldn't afford to care less.
Enough, and I'm going to make a break in the middle of giving up.
As she always went along and built the wall at the stop, taking out and placing the new bed for rest inside, Jeanne hurried to widen the distance between the two beds... recessed in the boulder...
Seeing how it was, Aura pulled Jeanne toward the corner and started discussing it.
I don't know what happened to the outcome of the discussion, but Jeanne was blushing and Aura was more niggered than usual.
Both of you don't seem to be willing to tell me what you're talking about, so I decided not to listen to this one and eat.
It was all sold in the street today, but it was quite delicious.
After the meal, I put Jeanne on a pill mixed with my blood and went into a break... I decided to give her something colored the same color for Aura because Aura might be suspicious that the only pill was Jeanne...
The two of them are given medicines to speed up their physical recovery. I have made three other types of medicines that speed up magic recovery and increase resistance, and I have not lied because they also have the right effect.
After a frequent break, he attacked the rest of the sixteen tiers, breaking through the seventeen and eighteen tiers, and today's offense is over.
When I went outside the dungeon, I realized that there were a number of people who looked at us and whispered.
Some of them were talking with their fingers pointing at us, and I was worried about the boulder, but when I got a little closer, it would take a distance from us, so I couldn't be sure. The only thing I know is that it feels more like you're paying attention to us than making fun of us, so I don't think you're worried about getting into trouble at the moment.
When I went straight to the guild, I just bowled with Jin and the others, so I told them what happened earlier.
"What, you don't know! You guys are talking about being the most prominent young party in the city, the most powerful adventurer in the city."
I couldn't hide my surprise in Jin's words. Somehow I know it's a prominent young party, but I don't see why rumors are circulating that I'm the strongest.
Sure, Jeanne and Aura seemed to be talking about diving solos and following dragons before they got in, but because rumors never got around that they were the strongest.
Jin and the others who saw how it was,
"That would be because Tenma made the nobleman's son bogged down or scared the Auga"
"In addition to that, Mr. Tenma was stunning Mr. Jin or burying Mr. Jin in the dirt, and Mr. Jin was often foolish in the tavern because he was afraid of Tenma, he didn't defy Tenma, he didn't want to deal with Tenma and die,"
"You're the reason!
Leena's snitch found out who spread the rumors...... so as usual I tried to get Jin to eat Stan,
"Farewell!
and Jin fled the scene with all his might.
There was some surprise at the speed of action, but as Jin ran out, Shiloumal chased him, so less than fifty meters later, Jin had been crushed by Shiloumal... for the record, new rumors spread that he could not escape the tenma from those who watched this sight.
"Well, it's time for that. But aren't the tents doing well these days? I have a reputation for taking two girls and diving back at an early pace without serious injury."
Menace was nagging, emphasizing the fact that she had two girls, but I didn't change my expression.
"Were you..."
and ignored it. somewhat boring looking menace. Approximately, now Galat is
"With that said, will the Tenma and the others participate in the militant tournament?
I've been swinging stories about
"What is that, my first ear..."
It didn't sound familiar, but I can only imagine it by name. Galat looked at me like that unexpectedly.
"Well the tenma these days, I wouldn't have had time to be interested in that. Wouldn't it be strange not to know?"
to Menace's words with, oh well! I was convinced.
"What, that martial arts tournament?
I asked Menace and the others honestly, and somehow Leena came from the side,
"To be precise, the Royally Hosted Martial Arts Festival in front of the Victory Prayer,"
It's nice of you to tell me that, but I can only tell it's a somewhat oblivious name.
The Menace I saw,
"It's a hard name to say, so they're all saying 'martial arts tournament'. Once upon a time, when this country was still small, mock warfare by the knights who used to do it for the sake of the landscape changed shape, and now it's a form of entertainment. But even when it comes to entertainment, this tournament is only hosted by the Royal Family and it's easy to align the strong players, and some of the top contestants are often awarded titles or appointed knights, so it's a big tournament with over a thousand participants every year."
and explained it clearly to me.
"Plus this tournament is divided into three divisions with individuals, pairs and teams, so don't get a bunch of adventurers wanting to sell their names"
and also added Galat. He fights up to five people with the team in this case, and one replacement personnel is allowed as an alternate.
"So, are you going to join Tenma?
"You don't think about joining... or tenma (...)"
I react to some of the words, and when I look at Menace,
"Oh, we, the Dawn Sword, are going to be in the tournament too!
And I said that with my chest up. Dawn Sword was in a team match with Deceit last year, and the Deceit lost the qualifying round, and last year he made the main battle appearance with Reena's membership, but Reena just joined. There was also a lack of cooperation, and he lost the first round.
By the way, last year, there were roughly four hundred and fifty individual fights, two hundred pairs of fights, and about a hundred team fights.
The number of participants is slightly over a thousand, but this is because there are no restrictions on participation, so even a pair or team took part in the individual battle.
Some of them said that those who participated in the pair participated only in two of the same pairs in the team battle.
Preliminaries will be held in individual fights in several battle royal ways, with two remaining to the end competing in the main battle, up to thirty-two being elected.
The pair likewise elected up to thirty-two pairs in the Battle Royal way.
Only team matches are played in the tournament method from qualifying to splitting all teams into sixteen blocks, with winning teams from each block competing in the main game.
The match is tournament style and the opponent is determined by a scratch before the match begins.
However, only for individual matches, seed rights will be granted only to those who have advanced to the semi-finals or higher in the last tournament and will compete from the main race with exemption from qualifying.
The tournament has a schedule of nine days, with each qualifying in the first three days, until the semi-finals of the game in the next three days, and then a two-day break in the final day at the.
There seems to be an approved, unauthorized bet going on at this tournament, and there's a lot more to it than winning or winning to third place, or winning the main contestants.
The event is about two months from now, and they're going to have an auction at that time.
On the inside, I think I'll go. Because if we go to the King's Capital, we'll hear about the village's survival, and the kings will know I'm alive.
I decided to discuss this with you this evening.
But now I think it's a priority to undo my friendship with Jeanne, and I look at Jeanne, but when I still see her, she hides. It's getting better than in the morning, but it still didn't make a difference that we're still being avoided.
I made dinner easy today and finished it early before discussing the future.
Even though we discussed it, since Jeanne and Aura do not have the veto in their position, they simply decided on routes and departure days when going to the King's Capital.
At that time, I told the two of them that I was going to see them because I knew someone, but it was hard to say that the king of this country knew him on the boulder, so he deceived me to go and meet someone from my hometown.
"Um... Dear Tenma, perhaps the King's Capital has Jeanne's relatives..."
And Aura says,
"Well, I guess that's where we say goodbye"
and when I said I was going to turn you two over to that acquaintance,
"I absolutely don't like that!
Jeanne disagreed uncommonly loud.
If Jeanne was surprised at the shouting and her reluctance to free herself from the status of slave, Jeanne continued,
"If you're going to go to a man like that, you'd better die! Tenma...... your slaves are happier!
and tried to hear the translation because of his fierce dislike, but Jeanne didn't even seem to like to talk, and instead Aura,
"The relative is Jeanne's mother's cousin's wedding partner, and her name is Associate Viscount Podro Il Chloride, and she's the worst."
Not only Jeanne, but Aura also hated that podlo and do it, which showed clear disgust.
Continuing Aura's story, the Podro and Ya said that they had entered Jeanne's house of division muscles but abandoned Jeanne's house first when it tilted, and they saw Jeanne and the others with nasty eyes every time they met before, they had a pretty bad femininity, and they had about ten mistresses.
Furthermore, Podro's wife was mentally weak because of Podro's femininity, and she almost fell asleep because she abandoned her home lightly.
"I don't mind going to Wang Du for that reason, but please don't just give us to that man"
and Aura has bowed her head and begged. Even for me, I didn't think I was going to turn you two over to a guy like that on a boulder, and I clearly agreed that I wasn't going to turn you in no matter what.
Look at me like that, Jeanne.
"Um... Tenma, dear..."
"Tenma's fine."
And when I said call it off, Jeanne thought for a while before
"Well, Tenma...... that, thank you......"
That's what I said, I was embarrassed.
Aura tried to be careful that Jeanne had dumped me, but convinced me that it was because I authorized it myself.
I tried to tell Aura to call it off, too.
"I am a maid of honor before I am a slave, so I cannot be disrespectful to my husband."
And they turned me down...
After discussing it like that, I decided to leave for Wang Capital a week from today to secure the lodging early, the militant tournament has no plans to compete so far, I will not hand them over to Podro, in case of need, I can do everything I can to escape to Seigen, etc.
When he went to Wang Capital, he also promised the two of them to have a special Golem nucleus instead of an escort.
The two seemed pretty relieved, especially Jeanne, who went into the futon and fell asleep early.
Tomorrow, in addition to the dungeon attack, I will also start preparing to go to Wang Du, so I thought it would be a good idea to go to bed early, and me and Aura went to bed early... without even knowing that would lead to the noise the next morning...
