Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

099 New Construction Celebration

The night I moved into my new house, on the table I had just bought, there were tons of dishes lined up.

Grilled crabs and shrimp, pork shabu-style pans, from salted rice noodles to tonkatsu.

There is no unity, but the women waved their arms, and the dishes reminiscent of Japan smell good.

"Well, say hello, Nao."

"What, me?

Come on, let's eat, I just got to the table, and suddenly Hulka shook me.

When the other members did their gaze, they nodded in alignment, so I got up with the cup in my hand.

"- Uh, thanks to all the hard work we've all done, we've been able to have our own home in this way. Sometimes it was somewhat dangerous, but I still think it's because I've chosen my job carefully that I can stay five bodies satisfied. Let's keep up the good work. And thanks for the Halka, Yuki, Natsuki, and delicious looking dishes. Cheers!"

"" "Cheers!

We all chant and mouth the cup.

Yeah, yummy. It's juice, not liquor, but thanks to the ceramic cup, or because of the atmosphere, I feel it tastes better than usual.

"Let's start with what..."

Put the cup down and look at the table.

They all look delicious...... do you want to go from Tongkatsu?

It is served on a large plate for each dish so that it can be eaten, so I divide it into dishes for myself.

Tap homemade inspiration sauce from the top.

Pinch it with chopsticks and put it in your mouth.

At that point, the aromatic aroma spreads in your mouth, and when you bite it, the cucumber and gravy overflow, and the crisp clothes and sauce mix together, loosening your cheeks.

Fruity compared to the sauce I used in Japan, but that's not bad either.

The thickly chopped meat is so soft and full of gravy that it is not seen in ordinary tonkatsu shops.

"What do you say?"

Looks a little worried, that's what Yuki asked me.

"Yummy. Clothes are crispy, juicy inside. The sweetness and spiciness of the inspirational sauce is just right. Did Yuki make this?

"Yeah. Lard on fried oil (?) This was the first time I had used it, so I was a little worried, but not persistent?

"No, are you rather rusty?

"Oh, unlike salad oil, it's solid at room temperature, so it could be"

"What lard, by the way..."

"Oak meat fat. The meat is also oak. By the way, that pig shabu-shabu over there is also oak. That's a nutcase, though."

There is no tabletop stove, so you can't shave it yourself, but the pan with thinly sliced meat and vegetables simmering looks delicious again.

Divide into vessels and sip soup.

"... oh, classy flavor. Delicious."

When I said so and gazed at Natsuki, he looked at me and smiled nicely.

It's basically salty, but with a slightly sharp pepper and exquisite taste of vegetables and meat.

Meat and vegetables with the soup are also likely to be eaten as much as they want with a gentle flavour.

"Then Hulka..."

"I'm in charge of baked goods. You know, shrimp, crab, salt grill. And I baked your bread."

Halka noticed my gaze pointing to the bread served in a cage placed at the edge of the table.

Ho ho ho. Crabs and shrimp are silently twitched by Toya, so should I try some bread?

Take one from the basket and it's... soft.

The bread sold around here is heavy, even soft, but this bread is quite light. Yes, to the same extent as the bread sold in Japan.

"I've used natural yeast to secondary fermentation. Not bad. It takes time, so I don't want to make it very often."

Take a bite of bread as you watch Harka smile at you for saying that.

Oh, soft. I have the toothpaste I'm selling here. And that's delicious, but soft bread is still delicious with soft bread.

And a slight smell of flutter and fragrance.

"This smells good..."

"Because it's a yeast made with dried fruit. There's some bread with walnuts, so try that too."

"Oh, thank you."

As recommended by Hulka, also mouth bread with walnuts.

This one is delicious too. I can't say much about the fragrant walnut aroma and teeth.

"Steady, when I came over here, the first time I ate a stall mesh, I didn't think I'd be able to have a delicious meal so far"

"Really. I was desperate in Sarlstadt, to be honest."

"Maybe that's what it is in this world, but that wage is terrible."

Everyone snorts at my words.

I don't know if it's the least I can really survive, or live to work, because it was such a wage.

"The Hulkas did well, didn't they? I respect that."

"Yes, I also thought I'd try to change the situation..."

"Because we were three. Toya, who can be entrusted with the avant-garde, and me and Nao, who can fight magically without weapons. Because it was this combination."

"Your skill structure is working well together."

... No, should we assume that Hulka adjusted it so that we can engage each other?

If Hulka's skill structure, maybe if he had one companion who could be avant-garde, he would have managed.

You can heal, you have common sense of different worlds, you have auxiliary skills, and you have ranged attack skills.

On the contrary, it's so strange that I don't have melee skills, and if it wasn't for me or Toya, I'd likely have a hard time with that...

He smiles nicely when he sees Hulka.

Hmm.

"Guys, can you listen to me because it's good while you eat?

The food was also more than half gone, and when everyone's hands began to stop, Hulka spoke up like that.

"I think it's time to give the Alliance a report on the annihilation of the Oak Nest, okay?

"Oh, or an oak. The number of oaks stocked in magic bags has been greatly reduced, isn't it good?

"Right. You don't have to put it off for nothing."

"I generally agree, but before we do, why don't we go check the orc nest again? It's been a while since I last went, and if the oak had lived there again..."

"Could it be judged a failure… or could it be considered a false report"

Two weeks have passed since the destruction of the nest?

Sure, if that's all, it's possible that some orcs are coming out of the back of the woods.

The orcs we annihilated are just some of the orcs that nested in the shallows of the woods, and deeper into the woods there are more orcs, apparently. According to the materials.

At the end of the day, the oak crusade request is to keep the oak from appearing in the streets.

Totally annihilating from the woods is a groundwork impossible story.

"I have an oak leader demon stone, but you should follow it. Let's go check tomorrow."

We all snort at that Hulka proposal.

It has been a long time since I thought I would enter the East Forest.

"But it would help if you came out in moderation, and the orcs,"

"It's a better prey than goblins, tastefully or financially."

"Ah, oak meat, let's leave one or two. for ourselves to eat."

"Agreed! - Speaking of which, what about deliveries to Mr. Aella? If you sell the oak to the guild, you're in trouble, aren't you?

"Was it there..."

Aela's shop is well received, and I think she can probably run it without any problem if we stop wholesale meat, but I'd like to assist her wherever possible. He's a pretty elf, and more importantly, he owes me an inspirational sauce.

It's only with this sauce that delicious tonkatsu is available. There are many other uses, which are truly worth a thousand gold.

"Right...... let's not sell much meat and decide to give him the Demon Stone? In the first place, I was delaying the report to mislead our magic bag capacity."

"That's good. We have nothing to lose."

"Is that good for everyone?... Yeah, well, let's do it."

Based on Aela's store consumption, she will probably keep it in stock for a few months.

Besides, it would be a little more extended if you told Mr. Aela the circumstances and asked her to reduce the percentage of meat dishes now.

Sometimes the orcs will come out, and you don't have to carry unnecessary magic bags because you got the house.

All you have to do is put it in a magic bag and keep it at home without selling the material you're going to need.

"Then, in terms of future compensation, but I'm going to divide half into common costs and half into distributions for each, what do you think?

Until now, it has been a policy of not wasting, spending everyone's money together and spending it efficiently in order to stabilize their lives anyway, but we have obtained a first degree of stability in life.

Hulka said, "Let's take this opportunity to manage our own money," he said.

"Um, what's the range of common costs?

"Things needed for an adventure in general, including weapons and protective equipment, as well as food, home repairs, and furniture for common areas... maybe? Clothes are… you can wear your own clothes and underwear. And your own furniture."

Hmmm... if only I could buy underwear and clothes, would I be free to spend the rest of it?

You don't seem to have any problems at all. The basics would be savings, though.

"Yes, I think that would be good. I'm not going to be that extravagant."

"Me too. I would only use clothes and I would only buy and eat them occasionally."

Hulka sighed and opened her mouth to Toya, who said that with ease.

"Toya, let me tell you something, save your old age money, okay? Tips and"

"Oh, you need to worry about old age even though you're not even twenty years old Ha..."

"In Japan, pensions and premiums are automatically saved as a social system, but this way, it's all my fault"

To the white-nosed Toya, Hulka sticks to reality.

While there's criticism, it's still the health insurance system that's thankful to the average person.

My mother also said 'premiums are high,' but if you look at American medical bills, if you do poorly, you can just go to the hospital once and get the source of the premiums for the rest of your life.

Even for a pension, it's not so bad if you think of it as accrued injury insurance.

In the unlikely event of injury caused by an accident, if you are paying your pension, you will receive a disability pension for the rest of your life.

Plus, there's a treasury share, so it's actually a loss not to pay by saying, "I don't have a lot of money."

That said, there's not a lot of money you can get, so if you don't save up properly yourself, you'll have a hard time living.

Needless to say, this is the world.

There is no social security system, so if you don't plan to calculate the necessary funds and save all of them yourself, you will have a very hard time when you can no longer work.

If you do poorly, old age ceases to exist. Because you're going to die.

"- If you haven't saved quite enough money in Japan, you'll be in trouble in old age. That's not the point, is it? Unless you're retiring your life on the way."

"Got it! Got it! I won't waste it!

He was Toya, who was told reality by Hulka and had a slightly ungrateful look on his face, but in Hulka's next words he turned a blink of joy.

"Then it's good. Toya, you're gonna have a beast-eared daughter-in-law, right? I told you before, I need to save up to that girl's share."

"Oh, yeah! That's it! Good living, I have to let you! I'll be a saving ghost!

You're paranoid even in some happy newlywed life, as you wouldn't have guessed, Toya with a sloppy grin "So hehe" and the women watching it with a shaky look on their face.

I hope that motivates you... will the day come when Toya will get a lovely daughter-in-law?

When life is a painful world, the emphasis is, in a way, on life over love. I feel it's possible if I have the money, but I don't see many beasts in this city.

I don't see so many young women themselves rather than a pretty daughter in the first place......

The scope of our activities and that of young women in general is likely to be uneven.

I couldn't find my daughter-in-law and I was going to buy her a slave...

In this country, he is not technically a slave, so he is in debt on his shoulder, but that is not in itself reprehensible.

Instead, those who lend money are appreciated because they can surely collect it, and they will not be forced to labor and die by those who have been entrusted to them. I wonder what will happen after that each, but do you think that even money often goes pretty well?

I also feel subtle from our generation with the feeling of 'marrying because I like', but in the end I wonder what that is because I can afford life.

In the original world, there are other countries that marry for a living, have many children for old age.

Even in Japan, with a little bit of history, there were times when there was nothing unpleasant about hiring women, but rather respected.

I guess it's just a polarity, a difference between culture and times.

By the way, being an adventurer and buying slaves but being able to marry can be a success.

Most of them die old without being able to marry, or even old. There is no such thing as a relaxed and graceful old age.

... uhm, I still can't think about getting married, but before I say this about Toya too, should I save some money?
