Status Meister

Episode 25: Boyfriend

Once we reached the city, we headed for the guild first.

Because I only have one silver.

Early on arrival, I decided to get a quick cash exchange because my grandfather was there yesterday.

Something, you lost Miriam's energy the minute you got to the guild.

"Oh, Miriam. And your boyfriend, another cash exchange?

"I'm not your boyfriend."

"Uh, I'd like to sell an item"

Miriam was denying it again, but both me and my grandfather go ahead and smile through it.

"Yes, sir. Well, can you get me out of here?

My grandfather has put out a tray, so for one thing, I'll put a rabbit, pig and herb on it.

"Yeah, 21 ravens, 13 pigs, 86 herbs, right?

"Yes, please do this first"

Grandpa takes the tray in several parts and back, after the cash change, comes back with the money.

"Please wait. Yes, 44 silver and 86 copper."

"Thank you"

I just moved the money you brought me on the tray to the inventory, and my grandfather got involved.

"That's good money. Miriam, if someone like this could be her husband, wouldn't her nose be expensive?

"I'm not your boyfriend."

"We'll still hang in there to make Miriam happy!

"Boyfriend, you sound like you're in love with Miriam, don't you? Good for you."

"I'm not your boyfriend."

"I'm already in love with Betta. You can do anything for Miriam. Ha ha."

"It's nice to be young. Miriam and your boyfriend, we're gonna get along, right?

"I'm not your boyfriend."

"Naturally! I can't think of a fight with Miriam!

"We're not left laying on our asses. If we were as conscious of each other as Miriam and her boyfriend... oops sorry"

"I'm not your boyfriend."

"No, then we're going to have lunch, so now you'll excuse us!

Miriam was like a broken toy, so I decided to cut the story off.

I decide to leave the guild and get in the mood.

"Miriam."

"I'm not your boyfriend."

No, I'm in some weird mode.

"Mealy-ah!"

The mode is ongoing, so I mommy my butt as I call my name.

"Not my boyfriend. Ahhhhhh!?

"It's Miriam's boyfriend Takashi, right?

"No! I'm not your boyfriend yet!

How dare you deny it? But that means it's possible. Is boyfriend denial ahead of butt...

"All right, all right. Let's make it a meal."

"Already..."

As usual, stroking Miriam's head, I ask her about the store where she serves a delicious meal.

"Speaking of which, what is this city's specialty dish?

"This city is famous for its Ox meat dishes. It's a little pricey, so I don't eat a lot of people living in this city."

"Really? Then let's go eat there."

"What!? Do you have that luxury from lunch!? I can't have such an expensive meal!

Miriam was raised as the daughter of an inn, but she is also a slave. I guess I can't think of an expensive meal from noon.

"I know Miriam feels luxurious, but from now on, you make your own money as an adventurer. So you don't have to shy away, do you?

"Ugh... is that okay? I feel bad about something."

"It's okay. It's like I'm making money for it!

That way, I'll be led to a famous store that serves ox food in this city that Miriam knows.

"This store."

The store is a tavern, no matter how you look at it, but Miglia says it's a tavern at night but a restaurant that serves food by day.

"Is it really good?

"That's okay. Look, I'm coming!

I reluctantly pull Miriam's hand as she stops and enter the store.

"Yes, there you are. Oh, Miriam? I can't believe I'm holding hands. The rumors were true."

"I'm not your boyfriend."

Miriam's not my boyfriend anymore.

Stay relaxed for a little while. After being guided by your sister, sit at the table in the corner.

"but I've never eaten out, so I'm nervous"

"Really? Well, if the house is inn and the food is served, why don't you go out on purpose to eat?"

"Yes, and your mother's food, because it's delicious!

Sure, Mr. Meer's food is delicious. But from now on, we're going to a different city. Let's get used to it.

Looking for delicious food is also fun.

"I've never seen Miriam come to eat before."

"Yes. I became an adventurer the other day."

"Oh, my God, Mr. Meer has forgiven the adventurer so well. So, what, that man is your rumored boyfriend?

"Not your boyfriend." Yes, it's your boyfriend "

I thought it would be this exchange again, but this time I succeeded in wearing words. I mean, how fast is the flow of information in this city?

"Really? Then we have to put more on our arms than usual in commemoration."

"Already! So... my boyfriend..."

"Then I'd like the most recommended ox dish in this store because it's a corner. You don't have to worry about the budget."

"Oh, my boyfriend Miriam the boulder chose. You're gonna be a big shot in the future, huh?

I got some compliments. For Miriam's sake, let's be big guys!

Because the customer arrived, her sister backed off to the kitchen with a slightly skipping foothold.

From the kitchen ahead toward your sister, say hello! I hear voices that temper me, for example. You expect good food, don't you?

"By the way, Miriam. He said he'd never eaten out, but is it true?

"Yes, dining out is a luxury! I'm a slave, and I'm just happy to serve you a meal."

"From now on, eating out is fundamental, so let's get used to it."

"No! I don't have a body! Let's make our own!

Are you going to have an adventure while self-catering? Sure, when it comes to Nojuku, it might, but you can't self-cater in the city. I don't have a place to cook in the first place.

"Miriam, can you cook?

"Wow, even I can cook!... a little"

"So, as self-catering in other cities, where do you cook?

"Uh, borrowing from a lodging house?

"I don't want to eat this inn because it costs money to eat. I'll make it myself, so lend me a cooking place. Or do you fight and sell?

"I'm sorry."

She's just the daughter of an inn, and I guess she noticed too much out of common sense behavior in an instant. I immediately apologized.

"And because adventurers stay in the inn with the money they earn from their adventures, or eat outside, they can go on staying in the inn and the diner, right? Nobody's staying, nobody's eating. So the store's gonna crumble, right?

"Yes...... right. Indeed, residents, they don't use it very often. That's the only thing I learn when I'm talking to Takashi"

"That's just the thing...... I usually only see Miriam, so I only talk about Miriam, but if you ask me, I'll tell you anything, okay?

"Is that true? Uh, well..."

That's what I'm talking about, your sister brought the food.

"Thank you for waiting. Our prized ox steak set Yikes? I used the best meat specially today."

"Oh, this looks like it!

"Wow! Meat! Wow! I've never seen anything so big!

"Isn't it? There's no meat here, per one, it's a precious area where you can only take this one slice, and it's very tasty.

The iron plate with fat meat on it has a juju sound and stimulates the appetite with eyes and ears.

The meat is still visible frosting and seems to be a specification that can be baked on a plate according to one's taste.

I've never eaten a steak like this in the original world.

And don't you just bake more than hang it on your arm! Thought so, but you served the best meat, and let's just not ask.

"Come on, Miriam. Eat before it cools!

"Yes!... but how do you eat this!?

"First of all, I'm not doing this. Cook meat according to your taste. And eat it by cutting it to the size of a knife in your mouth."

And then my boyfriend says hello. And I said, it went down the back. You saw me prepare to eat normally, and you decided it was okay.

"Miriam. I'm not fooling around with anything, but you know how to use a fork and a knife when eating?

"The knife... I've only used enough to cut bread"

"Well, look at that, huh? This is what we do."

The meat is cooking just fine for the rare feel, so use a fork and knife quickly to cut the meat into bite sizes and make it look like Miriam. And pakuri.

"Oh, melt! I've never had such delicious meat before. Would you like some Miriam, too?

"Yes...... here's the thing, here's the thing. Here, all right! Amu."

"How's that? It's delicious."

"Uh-huh! Mmmm!?

I'm cheeky with meat all over my mouth. - I'm telling you. Lovely.

Miriam seems to have liked it.

I wanted rice, but all I have is bread. I've noticed over the last few days, and I'm so sorry to hear that you're apparently not in the habit of eating rice!

"Miriam, this soup over here is delicious, too. Also, this salad dressing tastes unusual and delicious"

"Yes! It tastes like I've never eaten it! Yummy! Amazing!

Wow, wow. I'm eating it with great words. Don't feel happy just eating with someone who looks delicious.

But by the time I finished eating, Miriam was slowing down. I guess there was a little too much for the little body.

"You don't have to eat it because you can't. I'll eat later."

"No, it's the meal you served at the corner! We need to eat them all..."

The smile gradually collapsed. I guess it's really close to the limit. It's just torture to eat a meal that you can't eat or be fed.

I think so, and take away and eat the meat that is a little in front of Miriam.

"Ahhh! No, I have to eat!

"A delicious meal should not be a painful memory when I remember it."

"Ah yes...... sorry......"

"That's not about apologizing, is it? Welcome! It's okay."

I was done eating before Miriam finished, so we both finished eating by taking Miriam's meat and take a breath.

There was a drink like tea after the meal, so I drank it and talked a little bit.
