Lazy Dungeon Master

So it takes five days to get from Zia to the next town by carriage.

We were taking a carriage down the plain road that lasted a long time. On the right you can always see the forest far from the road, and on the far left you can see the mountains. It's a different mountain range from Mount Zia.... I was tired of the irreplaceable landscape.

There are so many people in the carriage that I can't lie down, even as I sleep. Should I have at least arranged another carriage?

"Hey strawberries. What's the name of the next town? Speaking of which, I hadn't heard yet."

"The next town is Meekan. It's a town in the meadows, where sheep and animals flourish."

"Sheep... I see, Zingiscan... Shishikebab..."

"Take the hair, take the hair. Well, I'll take the meat. And then not as much as Zia, but agriculture is there, too."

I see.

"I'm free to move the carriage."

"Master, is this because this is a flat road in your aristocratic carriage? Ordinary riding carriages rock more with the momentum of cracking asses, and unfamiliar guys get gebbed first"

"You're motion sickness... you sure are tight"

"This carriage is so comfortable because it's anti-wobble."

"Whoa, can I have that story mixed up, Mr. Kama!

And when I was chatting with strawberries, Wataru got mixed up.

"Actually, I have a suspension on me, this carriage."

"Heh, there's a suspension.... Is suspension the anti-wobble process?

"... Yep, they're keeping the shake down by pinching a decent spring. It's produced in the valiant workshop in Teito."

Phew, it's dangerous. Wataru, insignificantly I'm the brave one. I thought you'd given up.

"Speaking of which, how does Wataru always come to our village? Is that a carriage or [transfer]?

"No, no, no. You can't ask for [metastasis] or anything like that easily. It's about as easy as Haku's, isn't it? I wish I could remember, but scrolling is extremely rare. So I usually use horses. Leave it with Zia and walk from there."

Wouldn't a wattage be faster on foot than a horse?

"... that? So you left your horse this time?

"Oh no, I'm renting at the Adventurer Guild. It's convenient because you can return it to your local guild."

"Heh."

"How did Mr. Kama get to the village of Gorene? Oh, before you build a village,"

"On foot, I guess."

Though it's actually a summons for a thousand DP gacha. Well, you can't go wrong on foot, especially since you're not using a vehicle.

"We wrapped up in slave transport and did a carriage."

"Oh, Mr. Strawberry is a Pavela, did you make it over there?

"Hmm, I played a little too luxuriously in the Imperial Capital... I got collared with debt and all that"

"I see, are you a debt slave? So when this bounty comes out, you buy yourself back?

Hmm?

"Hey, seriously, are you talking about buying yourself back?

"Huh? Don't you know, Mr. Kama? There are several kinds of slaves, and debt slaves can buy themselves back. Most of the time, slaves are rarely bought back because they work unpaid."

"Uh, wait. We're in a bit of a situation and we're not debt slaves. Besides, we're not gonna quit your husband's slavery, are we?

Oh, did you? I didn't know, if I was buying a debt slave, would it have been possible that the dungeon's secret was leaking... it was dangerous.

"Hmm? So how many slaves are strawberries?

"... criminal slavery, ya. I'm a little fucked up."

What the hell did you do to him?

"Did I tell you before that we're buying quite a bit of grudge? I was framed. We're innocent."

Speaking of which, like you said that when you bought it?

...... hmm? Seriously, then how many slaves is Nik? Doesn't seem like a debt, criminal slave? Sure enough, a bandit took him.

"Given my background, I'm an illegal slave. Maybe you're a war slave. He's a slave caught in what's called a war. When people enslave their children, well, they don't."

"Uh, he's the one to be treasured by adventurers, isn't he, war slave? I've never used it before."

It seems to the adventurer that it is the man of war slaves who is used as a so-called meat wall or flesh shield. I'll wake him up regularly (...) I'm replenishing him a little in the war or something... The Ravelio Empire, that's unforgiving.

"I think the world of Kako, once the slaves fall, has too high a hurdle to go back to the ordinary people. Can't you just go back to being a contract slave?"

"Contract slaves, do you have that too?

"Yeah. This is the one who predetermines the terms and becomes a slave, isn't it? Sometimes there's a mistress contract or something, right?

They have periods, they're redeeming for rewards, they're starting to release their husbands when they die, and so on, depending on the conditions.

Hmm, strawberries aside, should Nik turn into this contract slave?

But, well, there's no inconvenience at the moment, and I don't know if I can keep doing this.... the slave trader will find out if he "won't talk about the dungeon elsewhere" at the time of the contract. If I blur it, I'm anxious to be effective this time. And I have a hand to ask Mr. Haku, but I'm scared when I borrow it.

"I mean, why do you know me better than Mr. Kama, who has slaves? Mr. Ichika was bought, didn't he get an explanation when he bought it?

"... there it is. 'Cause Wataru's a muzzle, and you looked into the slaves who do the night's work, right?

"Hey, well, that's not why I thought you should keep your knowledge as an S-rank adventurer, so that's, uh, common sense on that side?

"I'll keep my mouth shut for Nerne."

"... I don't know, I feel like I have to say thank you for nothing backwards. Thank you."

Still, right? There were a lot of slaves too...

I look at Nik all the time. Rokuko was holding me and moffing my ears and tail. Lily lily. Lop and Shikina are smiling at it - no, does that face of Shikina feel weird delusional? It feels like a mess.

Nik and I have eyes. Nick lacking expression, but this is that, my eyes in trouble. I feel like I don't know what to do.

... Yeah, it's important to hang out, isn't it? I prayed for a good fight.

"Hey, monster discovery, it's a miscellaneous fish. What do we do? Let's go hunting."

And Gozo, who was watching next to you, says.

When I heard it, Wataru moved one foot to your table.

"Oh, you're a miscellaneous fish. Let's also hunt to improve the security of the streets. Oh, just fine, let's take a bathroom break."

"Wow, I'm coming"

"Oh. There you go, Nik."

"Shall I go, too, I toiled. Gozo, stop the carriage!

We're going to talk about a flat toilet break even though the monster came out.

Is it as cluttered as a goblin that came out?

"It's just an oak, Mr. Kama. The number is five. It's a clutter-free fish."

Wataru says plainly, is oak really a clutterfish? From the brave, it would be cluttered fish, though.

"Don't be the first to see an oak or something. How strong is that?

"Speaking of crusade difficulty, it's a little below Iron Golem. A party of rushing adventurers would be an escape option, but we wouldn't lose a hundred of them, because we beat the dragons anyway."

I see, then even Nik could go alone. Though I seem to have to push Wataru to say it's just a hundred opponents.

"That's right, Dr. Wattall! Master, you are going too!

"... sit down, Shikina"

"Why is it! This is a good opportunity to see how strong you have become!?

This unfortunate elf, I'm guessing you're not even compatible with humanoid monsters. Besides, it's an oak. Though the combination of oak and elf would no longer be an iron plate.

"Mr. Kama. Why don't you and Crowe just leave one behind and give it a try? If it's dangerous, you can just get in there and help."

Hmm......, well would that be training?

"All right, let's do that. Nik, can we go?

"Yes."

"All right, we have oak grilled meat for dinner today. My stomach's ringing!

Oh, strawberries, are you eating orcs? It's a bipedal pig, right?... Speaking of which, you usually eat minotaurs and stuff in this world, so if you can eat oak too, don't eat it.

As for the taste, Wataru says it tastes like pork, and the strawberries say it's better than pork (bore) meat? I'm getting a little hungry too, let's go hunting.

By the way, Sikina lost miserably to Oak. Of course Wataru came in to help and got nothing, but you can't.

'Cause when I stood in front of the oak, I was screwing with my inner crotch. I couldn't see it from behind, but my face must have been red too. It's Oak Fetish, you elf.

Oh, speaking of which, we had a goblin fetish, too. You don't laugh about Shikina.
