Chapter 153 – The Orc Champion’S Meat Dish

◈

After finishing our baths, Noah and I greeted Tina, who was cleaning, and sat down to order food, waiting for Elsie and Ms. Ninya to come down.

Ms. Ninya came down to the first floor before the food arrived.

However, even after the food arrived, Elsie didn’t come down.

Just as Noah was about to go up and call her, Elsie hesitantly walked down to the first floor.

Upon seeing Noah and me sitting there, Elsie blushed and lowered her head.

Why was she acting like this?

Ms. Ninya seemed to know the reason, as she was grinning and looking at Elsie.

When I was about to speak, Ms. Ninya put her index finger to her lips, signaling me to stay quiet.

If Ms. Ninya was giving such a signal, there must be a reason, so I didn’t say anything.

And while we ate, we talked about going to the dungeon again today.

When Noah asked if we would go straight to the fifth floor today, Ms. Ninya shook her head.

“It’s only been a day since both Noah and Elsie were promoted, right? Although you hunted a lot yesterday, let’s hunt on the fourth floor again today to get more used to your promoted bodies.”

It was all to ensure safer adventures.

Noah, Elsie, and I all agreed with this plan.

Indeed, spending another day hunting on the fourth floor to get more accustomed to the increased physical abilities from the promotion wasn’t a bad idea.

After finishing our meal, Elsie, Noah, and Ms. Ninya went up to the fourth floor to prepare.

I also handed the lunchbox I had finished yesterday to Ms. Miranda.

When I apologized for forgetting to return the lunchbox yesterday, Ms. Miranda smiled and said it was fine since she had plenty of lunchboxes.

Then, I went up to the fourth floor to change my clothes. After that, I gathered with everyone on the first floor, received the lunchboxes Ms. Miranda had prepared in advance, and headed to the Adventurer’s Guild, seeing Tina off.

As we entered the Adventurer’s Guild, Mr. Kelban, who was sitting in an empty seat, rushed over to us as soon as he saw us.

“Oh, Rent! You’ve come!”

“Hello, Mr. Kelban.”

Mr. Kelban was full of energy, as if he had a very enjoyable time yesterday.

“Rent! Thank you so much for yesterday! Thanks to you, I was able to dissect a fresh Orc Champion… Hehehehehe…”

He was still feeling the excitement, as if he was still in the moment.

“I’m glad to hear that.”

“Hehehe! It’s all thanks to you. Oh, right, here’s your reward.”

Mr. Kelban handed over a money pouch from his inventory, which contained the rewards he hadn’t given us from yesterday and the day before.

Looking inside the pouch, there was at least 20 gold.

“Huh? Mr. Kelban? Isn’t this too much?”

Certainly, we had caught many orcs the day before yesterday and yesterday, and even an Orc Champion.

But wasn’t 20 gold too much?

“Ah, most of it is because the Orc Champion’s meat sold well. The Orc Champion’s meat is a famous ingredient among gourmets, known as the gourmet’s gourmet.

However, it’s a rare monster’s meat, so there aren’t many opportunities to get it, but there are many gourmets who want it, so it sold for a high price.”

Orc Champion’s meat.

How delicious must it be to bring in such a large sum of money?

Honestly, I’m very curious.

Come to think of it, Mr. Kelban said he would prepare some Orc Champion meat for us yesterday.

“Um, Mr. Kelban, about the Orc Champion’s meat…”

“Ah, don’t worry about that. I’ve properly prepared your share. Rent, are you planning to hunt on the fourth floor of the dungeon again today?”

“Yes. Noah and Elsie were promoted yesterday. Today, we’re going to stay on the fourth floor to get used to our promoted bodies.”

“I see. Then, stop by my warehouse when you come back. I’ll give it to you when I give you the orc corpses.”

“Yes.”

After finishing our conversation with Mr. Kelban, we went to Ms. Lenny and received a request, just like yesterday.

After receiving Ms. Lenny’s usual well-wishing, we headed to the fourth floor.

◈

After arriving on the fourth floor and hunting orcs with Noah as usual, I took out the magic stones and put them into my inventory along with the weapons. Then, a question popped into my head, so I asked Ms. Ninya.

“Um, Ms. Ninya, have you ever eaten Orc Champion meat?”

“No, I’ve never eaten Orc Champion meat either. Actually, yesterday was the first time I even encountered an Orc Champion.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. It’s not easy to encounter special monsters. According to rumors, it’s supposed to be incredibly delicious, but that’s all I know.”

Ms. Ninya said with a wink.

“That’s why I’m actually really excited that we can get Orc Champion meat today. I’m curious how delicious the rumored Orc Champion meat will be.”

“Hey, Rent. What are you going to do with the Orc Champion meat? Are you going to eat it?”

Noah, who had finished hunting orcs and put his dagger back into its sheath, asked with a grin.

“Yeah. If I get Orc Champion meat, I’m going to ask Ms. Miranda to cook it for me.”

“Really?”

Noah tilted his head.

Was there a problem?

“What do you mean, ‘really’?”

“No. It’s not that Ms. Miranda’s cooking skills are bad… but wouldn’t it be better to leave it to a professional chef? I think there would be professional chefs who know how to cook Orc Champion meat.”

“Is that so, Ms. Ninya?”

“Yeah, the Orc Champion’s meat is definitely very delicious, so it will surely be delicious even if Ms. Miranda cooks it. But I think it would be even more delicious if a professional made it.

Ah, then when we get the Orc Champion meat, let’s go to a restaurant where a chef I know works and ask them to make it!”

“Ms. Ninya, you know a chef?”

“Well, it’s not exactly me, but a regular at my succubus colleague’s place. But since I know him too, he’ll do it if we give him some money. He’ll probably be excited to cook Orc Champion meat.”

If that’s the case, it might be a good idea to go to the restaurant where the chef Ms. Ninya knows works when we get the Orc Champion meat.

It’s a high-quality ingredient that we got after all.

I also want to eat it as deliciously as possible.

At that moment, Elsie asked Ms. Ninya a question.

“Um… Ms. Ninya. When we ask that chef, could we get it to go?”

“To go? Why, Elsie? Ah, I see, the chef works at a restaurant. But don’t feel too pressured.

Elsie and Noah will also be promoted to C-rank, and you’ll earn more money, right? So, you don’t have to feel pressured about eating at a fancy restaurant.”

Ms. Ninya thought that Elsie was feeling pressured about eating at a fancy restaurant, so she patted Elsie’s shoulder gently.

But Elsie shook her head and said,

“Ah, no, that’s not it. It’s just… if we get it to go, we can share the food with Tina and Ms. Miranda too. Tina and Ms. Miranda are, well, eventually going to be family, so I think we should share happy and delicious things.”

“Ah…”

Elsie wasn’t feeling pressured about eating at a fancy restaurant, but rather, she wanted to share the orc meat with Ms. Miranda and Tina.

Elsie was right.

It’s a bit in the future, but I’m going to take responsibility for everyone and live happily.

Then, eventually, Elsie, Noah, Ms. Ninya, Tina, and Ms. Miranda will all be like one family.

It’s the right thing to share delicious and happy things with family.

Ms. Ninya stopped talking for a moment at Elsie’s words, then hugged Elsie tightly.

“Ah~ Elsie. I didn’t even think of that… I was mistaken! I’m sorry! You’re such a kind and virtuous saint!”

“M-Ms. Ninya! P-Please don’t call me that nickname!”

Seeing Elsie embarrassed, Noah grinned mischievously and raised his hand high.

“Hehehe, the virtuous saint Elsie!”

“Noah!”

If I left them alone, Ms. Ninya and Noah would team up and keep calling Elsie a virtuous saint.

“Then, let’s get the Orc Champion meat from Mr. Kelban and go straight to the chef Ms. Ninya knows and ask them to make it to go.”

“Yeah, let’s do that. Ah, how about borrowing some plates as well, instead of getting it to go? Then we can put them in our inventory, and Tina and Ms. Miranda can eat freshly made food, right?”

“Oh, that’s a good idea!”

“That’s definitely better!”

Accepting Ms. Ninya’s idea, the plan after leaving the dungeon was decided.

◈

“Hey, Rent! Which weapon do you find the most comfortable?”

While we were continuing to hunt orcs after deciding on the plan, Noah asked me.

“The most comfortable weapon?”

“Yeah! You used various weapons yesterday. Was there one that felt the best in your hand?”

Even if you say the most comfortable weapon, there isn’t a weapon that I particularly think of as such.

After all, most monsters die when I swing with my strength.

“They were all ordinary. If I had to say, it would be these gauntlets that allow me to extract magic stones without getting them dirty.”

“Hmm~ I’m happy that you like the ones I chose… Ah, then what kind of weapon do you like, Rent?”

“Hmm…”

I crossed my arms and thought for a moment.

Not a convenient or comfortable weapon, but a weapon that I like.

In other words, a weapon that suits my taste, excluding convenience.

Although I had many lewd fantasies in my past life, I also enjoyed manga, anime, and action movies, so I like cool weapons.

That’s why yesterday, I created and tested most of the cool weapons I had in mind.

The problem is that if I had to pick just one, it’s hard to choose.

Greatsword, hammer, halberd, chain scythe, dual swords, great bow.

They are all cool items.

If I could create weapons with magic power, I would also like to create something like a gun.

But I only know the appearance of a gun, not its structure, so even if I made one, it would be no different from a toy gun.

In the first place, it’s uncertain whether something like gunpowder can be reproduced.

Right now, I’m mostly breaking the orcs’ necks to get good quality orc meat, but it’s very rare that I need the entire corpse of other monsters.

If that’s the case, there won’t be many restrictions on how I defeat them as long as I’m careful with the magic stones, so it wouldn’t be bad to mainly use mana weapons for hunting.

Then, what would be my main favorite weapon?

Even after thinking about it, I liked them all.

As I continued to ponder, Elsie spoke from beside me.

“Don’t you like two-handed swords, Rent? That’s why you made a sword when you first created a mana weapon.”

“Hey, that’s probably because it’s the basic weapon among all the weapons.”

“E-Even if it’s basic, I think you could like it the most!”

“Rent’s appearance wielding a spear yesterday wasn’t bad either. How about it, Rent? Would you like to learn swordsmanship from me later?”

Personal spear training with Ms. Ninya!

I could seriously learn swordsmanship and enjoy some “thrusting” time with the lower half of her spear during breaks.

After thinking a little more, I opened my mouth.

“I like them all. Two-handed swords, spears, and even daggers. And the other weapons I made yesterday too.”

In the first place, it’s also a romance to master not just one specific weapon, but various weapons.

It’s good to be devoted to one thing, but isn’t it also cool to be able to use various weapons?

“I see~ Then, when you make weapons with mana weapons in the future, will you use them alternately?”

“Maybe I’ll use the weapon I want to use at that time, depending on my mood?”

“I think that’s cool too! The Hominid Hero was called a Weapon Master because he wielded various weapons!”

“Hehehe, Elsie really likes to compare Rent to the heroes of the past.”

At Noah’s words, Elsie blushed and became shy.

“T-That’s…”

Ms. Ninya smiled kindly and said to Noah.

“Isn’t it inevitable, Noah? You said it yourself, right? Rent is a hero to Elsie, so it’s natural for Elsie to compare Rent to heroes. Besides… Rent is really strong like a hero.”

“Hehehe, that’s true. Hey, Rent! Then what weapon are you going to use today?”

“Today, I’ll keep using the gauntlets, Noah. I was testing them out yesterday, but I need to catch the orcs without damaging them as much as possible.”

“Aww~ That’s too bad. Then, Rent will start using mana weapons in earnest from the fifth floor.”

“Hehehe, the monsters on the fifth floor are ants, so I can use mana weapons to my heart’s content.”

Ants.

It’s the first time I’ve heard of that monster’s name.

“What kind of monsters are ants, Ms. Ninya?”

“Ants are large red ant monsters. Their skin is so hard that you can’t easily cut through their shells unless you’ve been promoted from the fourth floor. And the only part you need to collect is their jaws, so you can defeat them however you want without breaking the magic stones.”

“Then, we can test out various weapons.”

Elsie’s eyes sparkled as she said that.

“I want to see Rent wielding various weapons and defeating monsters like a hero as soon as possible.”

Seeing Elsie’s expectant face, I thought that we should go to the fifth floor as soon as possible.

Elsie jumping up and down with excitement as I defeat the ants with mana weapons.

It seems very cute, and I want to see it soon.
