Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.
Episode 148 Tavern
After the skin of the horn rabbit bounces sharply in your mouth, the pale white but deep flavor spreads wooshly.
How about the finest chicken... no, I might like it more.
Moreover, even without chewing, the fibers of the meat peel off, slightly elastic when chewed, pleasant tooth cuts.
When the taste spreads into the mouth with the oil of the skin, I want to enjoy this taste forever.
"This is delicious..."
"What a deep flavor..."
"The skin is crispy and delicious!
It's a little small, but it's delicious!
It fits the size of our bite, so it's small for Rats.
"The saltiness is good, but..."
I put Dentobi (daikon radish) wholesale (grated) on top, put soy sauce on it and carry it to my mouth.
Hmm! This is the best!!
"Would you like me to try it?!
"I'll do it myself!
"Hmm!
Blessed are you both! She has the face she said.
Me and me!
I'll put the same thing in Rato's mouth.
Hmm! This Dentobi is a bit spicy but delicious!
"It's better to be painful. After eating this...."
It is slightly different from Tokuri, but from a pottery container like a vase containing liquor, pour the liquor into a container slightly larger than the pork mouth.
"This is it..." And this is sake?
It looks like a clear liquid with a slightly sweet smell of rice.
"Nihonsh? I've never heard that word before... this is a farther name liquor.
"Pharus..."
I'll try to put the poured liquor in my mouth.
Hmm. I see. "
It's totally sake, definitely sake made from rice.
Japanese sake was one of my favorite sake, so I soon understood it.
"Great. Really great.
"It's true... it's a little alcoholic, but it's delicious because of the sweetness of rice.
Nil... that's a good mouth.
I didn't go to the liquor store today, so I decided to definitely go and buy a lot soon.
"I'm glad you like it!
Gonzo is also sipping and laughing.
"Nil, if you pour babies over the soy sauce and eat them, they'll taste good again.
I'll show Nil how to use the bait. However, there are feelings that horn rabbits want to eat rare meat.
"It's delicious! Awesome!"
"It's true! You actually bought this baby today, didn't you?
"Oh, a lot.
"It seems like it can be used for a variety of things..."
"I'll think about it later, and now I'll just enjoy dinner. Here. Drink Nil, too.
"No! Master! If you pour so much..."
I pour Pharus into Nil's vessel next door. I won't force you to drink it, but I'll save it again anyway, so I'll have to pour some more.
"Ooh! I'm doing it!
Genjiro enters the room when he says it's time to enjoy other dishes.
"Master?!
Gonzo tried to get up, but Genjiro took control and sat down again.
"I'd like to have a drink with you, okay?
That's what I'll show you the bottle in my hand.
"This is Genjiro territory, and this food and liquor belong to Genjiro. Do you need confirmation? Besides, you promised me a drink earlier.
"Common sense. I can't do such rudeness on my own.
"Four demons seem pretty tough, too.
I urge you to sit down with your hands and sit next to Genjiro or Gonzo.
"Well, I don't deny that you have a lot of responsibilities.
"Master..."
Gonzo shook his head sideways with a sigh against Genjiro's words.
"What?
"There's something called" Tamen "..."
"I don't want Gonzo to tell me.
Gumu...
"Besides, I feel like I've talked to you, and I don't think we need anything like that for the singers.
Look at me, Genjiro.
Sure, me, Nil, and of course Rat, it's easier to get rid of without such a cumbersome face. If you're distanced, they're great people on this island, and we have to take that attitude...
Besides, I don't know about Gonzo, but he was so flashy. There's nothing more decent about it now. That would be the actual situation.
"We don't care, and it's easier.
"See?
"Master..."
"Never mind! Hahahahaha!"
Genjiro laughs with her mouth wide open. Gonzo also seems to have a hard time being an apprentice.
In the end, Genjiro also mixed and enjoyed dinner with the five of them and drank alcohol.
When Gonzo fell asleep when he was getting drunk enough, Nil was confused and it was time to go to sleep...
"It's Sinya.
"What?
"I need to talk to you about a few things, and I need to ask you something, okay?
Genjiro suddenly cut out the story.
"I don't mind. Answer what you can.
"... first of all, the purpose of the singers.
I also told Genjiro why we came to this island. I need your help.
I was waiting for a reply from Genjiro when he told me that he would meet with his superiors. I didn't expect to hear back so soon...
"In conclusion, I can't reply right away...
"Well, that's true. I don't know if I can trust anyone who comes here all of a sudden.
"However, I was interested in the idea of having a place for us on the continent.
In fact, when I told Prithhu about the demons, I had permission to build a city of demons on the mainland side. Not exactly Prithhu, but only permission from allied kings such as King of the Beast and King of the Elves...
The permission also naturally included support for the demons when they came to the mainland. This is our expired card.
I thought it might be impossible to negotiate if you showed me this...
"There seems to be hope that it wasn't rejected.
"If I told my teeth not to wear clothes, I'd want more in return..."
"In return for helping us...?
Despite alliances, it is difficult to divide evenly what can be offered, which is a gathering of kings of each race. There will surely be a clash somewhere.
"What's the matter..."
"This is my idea, but now that the evaluation of Sinya has not been determined, I think we are trying to see how much we can and can do.
"Ah... is that so?
"Was Sinya now a continental... ally? I'm aware that you're here as a representative, but it's a defined period of time... how much of a representative you can use.
"You mean if I show you something, you'll give me a good answer?
"If it is judged that accepting Shinya's offer is enough to be beneficial to us demons, we will take advantage of selling favors to our alliance, including Shinya, rather than immediate things.
The people up there love to find out about each other's bellies.
"I'm not good at that..."
"Hahaha! I'm sure you understand that, and there's nothing you can't do?
Well, I used to work for the company, and I lived in a time when I was more vocal than violent... I don't think there was much I could do... but I'm not good at it, I'm troublesome, and I hate it.
"Well, the negotiation itself has to be done by Sinya, but I'll make the journey there. However, my ability to speak alone is not that great.
"Really?
"Even though Shiki is not so deeply involved in politics (every festival).
Military and politics are different...
"But if all four demons say so, it's different. If four people say the same thing, you can't ignore it.
"If the four men at the top of the military give the same opinion and ignore it, the people won't shut up...
"That's what it is.
I'm not proud of it, but we Shiki, who are moving closer to each other, have more trust from the people than those who are all sperming out at the government and clinging to the desk.
"Don't say that.
"That's because it's the Four Demons.
"I see..."
Does it mean that you also have the significance of treating officials as signs?
"So, what I do is... I draw the Four Demons to my side...
"It's not that simple.
They always have one or two habits.
Well, I think Shinya can handle it.
"If we don't do something about it, there's no point in me coming here.
"I have Gonzo, and I don't care if you think I'm on your side... but just listen to me for one thing.
"Wish?"
"... I want you to play a game with me.
Genjiro's eyes glitter and blunt.
"Can I do that?
I don't know how many apprentices there are here, but I can't believe the four demons and the tribes that popped out play a game...
"I'm not going to gather another audience. Gonzo and... a few others. I'll just show it to you for the after-school. Besides, no matter what happens, I will never let you out of your mouth.
"... are you saying you have to accept it or you won't tell me about your allies?
"That's not true. I'm already with the Sinja. It doesn't matter how you fall there.
So, what a wish.
……………
There is a way to deny it here... but to be honest, the strongest part of this island is the Four Demons. I want to know the strength of the genjiro.
Sometimes I decide if I can use it to fight the Knights of the Holy Order in the future... but I simply want to see how much it is.
"Okay. Let's take it."
"Really?! All right!"
Genjiro looks really happy.
"We, even the Four Demons, have trampled the dungeon in half the time in two weeks... I can't help but expect it!
"Really?
"If you hurry, you won't have to... but you don't have to hurry that fast.
In my case, there was an event... that made me look weird...
"I'll do my best not to disappoint you.
"Hahahaha! That's good!
Drink up and pour the next Genjiro.
"So, what else do we have to talk about?
"Oh, that's right. There are two things I want to talk about. One is about Rato.
"Rato?"
"He said the Holy Spirit... but it's different from the Friend Demon we have a contract with, right?
"Maybe. I don't think it's in the form of a contract... I'm relying on you unilaterally.
Still...
Genjiro touched his beard with his fingers and looked down diagonally before looking into my eyes.
"Friendly demons are basically one person. When borrowing power, it consumes equivalent magic.
Spend magic on Friend Demon and borrow help. That's what I mean.
There are many other constraints... Anyway, from our perspective, the Holy Spirit is a huge power that can be used without cost...
"I'm sure it will..."
"It's a good power... but it's too good.
I'm sure anyone will want it. If you use it in public, it is likely to be a spark of trouble. That's what I always felt. That's why I usually hide my crest and try not to use it much in public.
"If you intend to stay on this island for the time being, you should treat Rato as a friend demon. They use their magic to fight together...
If you say that you are a friend demon on the continent side, everyone will be satisfied. I don't know if you're consuming magic from the outside.
"Well... thank you for your advice. That's what I'm going to tell the people around me.
Wow.
"Speaking of which, is Friendship Demon basically always with you? It doesn't look like it's near Genjiro...?
"Ah, they usually hide out.
Genjiro pointed his palm up towards the front of his chest...
Pom!
After a communal sound, a creature like a fist-sized dwarf suddenly pops up on Genjiro's palm.
It is human in shape and has eyes, nose and mouth, but the whole body is made of blue flame. Hair, body, everything.
"This is my friend, Onibi.
Ooh...
I'm moving my hands a little bit.
It's super cute...
"Mm-hmm."
Looking back at Genjiro's face, when the fire opens its mouth, it sounds like an audio when it is advanced quickly.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
"What did you say?
"Say hello.
Just because you're invisible, you're always with me, so I know all the exchanges you've had so far.
Really? Tell him I said hello.
"Say hello.
When Genjiro told me what I said, the wildfire looked at me and waved a small hand.
It's cute. Hey!
Suru...
A little later, the Oni-Fire disappeared again.
I wanted to see a little more...
"Let me tell you something else..."
"Ah, ah. What is it?"
Genjiro keeps talking to me.
"If you've trampled that dungeon, do you have a few beads?
"The resonance pearls?
"That's it.
I put the wooden beads I took out of the inventory on my desk.
"Is this a confirmed item?
"That's right. You'll get it. Does that mean that Sinya has Gonzo?
"Ah, I've just redeemed some of my materials, but I have some beads left.
I decided it was better to keep it with me than sell something I didn't know what to use. The accumulation of a large amount of supplies in the inventory is due to a habit that can be called a collection habit, but people who have done RPG will somehow know it.
"That's good. I forgot to tell you, but it's pretty important.
"Really? I don't know what to use it for..."
"It's used to bring out the power of God.
"I'm sure it's magic..."
Gonzo told you when I fired the flying slash.
I also heard that all four demons can use force.
"These beads will help you wake up the power to sleep in your body, pull it out, and handle it.
"Handling help?
"Sinya has certainly been liberated to a certain extent. The slash will fly.
Ah.
"The power of God is something inside your body that is different from magic. There are a number of conditions, but they can be quite a powerful weapon if they are used.
There are various ways to use it. It's not just the power to fly.
"Really?!
It felt like I had left it on my own, and I thought that if I could handle it as I wanted... but I didn't think that what I needed for that was these beads...
I certainly didn't fly a slash with this.
"If you can use the power of God, it is easy to understand as a guide to our strength, and I think it would be better to learn a lot about the operation of the power by using it.
"If that's possible, I'd love to.
"Only a limited number of people can use their powers. If we talk about the terms at a later date, there's a match tomorrow... and I'll tell you the day after tomorrow?
Are you sure?!
It's up to you to take a boat proposal like that.
"If it's me, I'll tell you.
"Please!"
"Haha! Okay!
You may stay here as long as you are on this island.
Practice at the dojo in the morning. What do you think? "
"You're exhausted! I really appreciate it!"
"Compared to the favor I received, it's so trivial.
Genjiro smiles and drinks again.
"Mhh... Master..."
Nil has already fallen asleep and is putting her cheeks on her desk to make her feel good.
"Nil, you'll catch a cold sleeping here.
"Yes...."
Nil finds a futon nearby with his thin, open eyes, and enters it and breathes.
"Nil was a slave...?
"I hate to call you that... but I guess so.
"It's not so obvious on this island, but it doesn't exist like this... it doesn't change on an island or a continent...
Genjiro has a dark face.
"... actually, Gonzo was originally one of those guys.
"What?!
I heard you were in a low position... but I didn't expect you to have had such a terrible life... no, if you think about it, there's only that much under civilians...
Gonzo's past is unimaginable.
"I'm not going to stop talking about the details from my mouth, but as a friend of Gonzo's... please continue.
"I'm your friend even if you don't ask me to. I'm not taking Nil with me if I change my identity.
"... I was relieved to hear that. You really are all good people.
"Even if you just call a friend a friend and they treat you like a good person..."
"Hahahaha! That's right! Whatever! Drink, drink!"
The water surface of the poured liquor flutters.
"It's time to go to sleep, or I'll be able to make a difference tomorrow. Tomorrow is important, isn't it?
"That's right... it's time to go to bed..."
Genjiro leaves the room with a bottle with a sad face.
It was a little fluffy, but are you still going to drink it?
"Gonzo looks hot..."
Gonzo is sleeping on the belly of a lying rat.
"Even though I have a corner futon... why don't you just hang it upstairs so I don't catch a cold?
Just a thin duvet sits on Gonzo's belly and enters the futon next to Nil, who sleeps well.
"The power of God...."
There have been more things I don't know since I came to this island, such as the past of God, Gonzo, and Rato, but there are many things I have learned.
I think that the power of God is like the breath in the original world. It really works like in a movie, not as a brow saliva.
I'm sure it's because I'm actually using it.
Rather, it was really good that there was room for negotiation.
If I hadn't cut my card early, I would have paid in advance.
"I'm glad I didn't make a mistake...."
I slowly fell asleep, feeling my awareness of going to sleep.
