Chapter 153 – Chapter 153 the Orc Champion’s Meat Dish

◈

After finishing her bath, Noah and I greeted Tina, who was cleaning, and sat down to make food, waiting for Elsie and Niña to come down.

Niña came down to the first floor before the food arrived.

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

When Noah went upstairs and tried to call him, Elsie came downstairs to the first floor.

Seeing me and Noah sitting in her seat, Elsie blushed and lowered her head.

Why are you doing this?

Niña-san was looking at Elsie with a smirk, as if she knew why.

When I tried to talk to her, Mr. Niña put her index finger to her lips her, signaling her to stay still.

If Niña-san was sending such a signal, I thought there must be a reason, so I didn’t talk.

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

When Noah asked if he would go straight to the fifth floor today, Mr. Niña shook her head.

“It’s only been a day since Noah and Elsie were promoted, right? She hunted a lot yesterday, but today, while hunting on the 4th floor, let’s get more used to the promoted body.”

To make the adventure even safer.

Me, Noah, and Elsie agreed to this policy.

Certainly, it wasn’t bad to hunt on the 4th floor for another day in order to get more used to the increased physical abilities of the promotion.

After finishing their meal, Elsie and Noah Niña went up to the 4th floor to get ready.

I also handed Miranda the lunchbox she ate yesterday.

When I apologized for forgetting to hand over the lunch box yesterday, Miranda smiled and said it was okay because there were plenty of lunch boxes anyway.

Then I went up to the 4th floor, changed my clothes, and gathered with everyone on the 1st floor to receive the lunchbox Miranda had prepared in advance and Tina to send me off before heading to the adventurer’s guild.

Upon entering the adventurer’s guild, Mr. Kelvan, who was sitting in an empty seat, ran to us as soon as he saw us.

“Ohhh, Rant! You’re here!”

“Hello, Mr. Kelvan.”

Mr. Kelvan must have been very happy yesterday, and his face was full of life.

“Rant! Thank you so much for yesterday! Thanks to you, I was able to dismantle a fresh Orc champion… Hee hee hee hee…”

Maybe you enjoyed it so much, the feeling of excitement still lingers.

“That’s fortunate.”

“Heh heh heh! It’s all thanks to you. Oh, it’s a reward here.”

Mr. Kelvan handed me a money bag containing the unpaid wages from yesterday and two days ago from his inventory.

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

“Huh? Mr. Kelvan? Isn’t that a lot?”

Certainly we caught a bunch of Orcs two days ago and yesterday, and even an Orc Champion.

But maybe 20 gold is too much?

“Ah, most of them are because the meat of Orc champions was sold. Orc champion meat is a famous ingredient among gourmets, enough to be called the delicacy of gourmets.

However, because it is the meat of a special monster, there are few opportunities to get it, but there are many gourmets who want it, so it was sold at a high price.”

The meat of an orc champion.

How delicious is it that you can get so much money?

Honestly, I’m very curious.

Come to think of it, Mr. Kelvan said he was preparing the meat of the dragon orc champion for us yesterday.

“Hey, Mr. Kelvan, the meat of the Orc Champion…”

“Ah, don’t worry about that. We’ve properly prepared your portion. Rant, are you planning to hunt on the 4th floor of the dungeon today?”

“Yes. Both Noah and Elsie were promoted yesterday. Today, I will stay on the 4th floor and get used to the promoted body.”

“Okay. Then stop by my warehouse when you return. I’ll give it to you when you give me the bodies of the orcs.”

“Yes.”

After talking with Mr. Kelvan, we went to Mr. Lenny and received the request like yesterday.

After receiving the usual greeting from Mr. Lenny, who prayed for safety, we headed to the 4th floor.

◈

Arriving on the 4th floor, after hunting down orcs with Noah like yesterday, I took out the magic stone and returned it to the inventory along with the weapon.

“Hey, Mr. Niña. Have you ever eaten the meat of an orc champion?”

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

“Really?”

“Yes. It’s not that easy to meet special monsters. According to rumors, all I know is that they are sooooo delicious.”

Niña said with a wink.

“So I’m really looking forward to being able to get the meat of an Orc Champion today. I wonder how delicious the meat of such a well-known Orc Champion will be.”

“Hey, Rant. What will Rant do with the orc champion’s meat? Will he eat it too?”

After hunting the orc and putting the dagger back in the scabbard, Noah asked with a grin.

“Yes. I’m going to ask Miranda-san to cook it once I get the Orc Champion’s meat.”

“Really?”

Noah tilted her head.

Is there any problem?

“Really?”

“No. It’s not that Miranda-san’s cooking skills are bad… But wouldn’t it be better to entrust it to a professional chef? If it’s the meat of an Orc Champion, there must be a professional chef.”

“Is that so, Mr. Niña?”

“Yes, the meat of an orc champion is absolutely delicious, so even if Miranda-san cooks it, it will definitely be delicious.

Oh, then, when you get the Orc Champion’s meat, let’s go to a shop with a cook I know and ask him to cook it for you!”

“Nina-san, did you have any acquaintances as cooks?”

“It’s not exactly me, it’s my fellow succubus regulars. But since I know them, they’ll listen if you give them some money. Rather, they’ll be excited to cook the meat of an orc champion, right?”

If that’s the case, after receiving the Orc Champion’s meat, it might be a good idea to go to a restaurant with a chef Niña-san knows.

It is a high-quality food obtained at a long time.

I want to eat the most delicious food possible.

At that time, Elsie asked Nina a question.

“Hey… Niña-san. When I ask the cook, can we take it as a wrap?”

“Packaging? Why Elsie? Alas, it’s definitely a restaurant where the chef works. But don’t be too pressured.

Both Elsie and Noah will rise to C rank and earn more money, right? So, you don’t have to be afraid to eat at a fancy restaurant.”

Mr. Niña thought it was burdensome for Elsie to eat at a luxurious restaurant, so she kindly patted Elsie on the shoulder and said,

But Elsie shook her head and said.

“Ah, no. It’s not like that… If you wrap it up, you can deliver the food to Tina and Miranda-san. Tina, Miranda-san, and me, and later, everyone will… Become a family , so I think we should share something happy and delicious.”

“Ah…”

Elsie said it because she wanted to eat oak meat with Miranda and Tina, not because she was afraid to eat at a luxurious restaurant.

Elsie was right.

It may be a bit of a future, but I will take responsibility for everyone and live happily.

Then, in the end, Elsie, Noah, Niña, Tina, and Miranda are all one family.

Sharing delicious and happy things with family is the right idea.

Miss Niña stopped her words for a moment at Elsie’s words her and then hugged Elsie.

“Ah~ Elsie. I didn’t even think of something like that… I was mistaken! I’m sorry! As expected, Elsie is a gentle and kind-hearted saint!”

“Ni, Niña-san! Please, don’t call me that nickname!”

Seeing the shy Elsie, Noah smiled smirkingly and stretched out his hand high.

“Hee hee hee, Conscience Saint Elsie!”

“Noah!”

It seems that Niña and Noah, who have been left behind, will unite and continue to call Elsie her conscience her.

“Then, let’s get the Orc Champion’s meat from Mr. Kelvan, and then go straight to a chef Niña knows and ask for take-out.”

“Yeah, then. Oh, how about renting a plate for a while without having to wrap it up? Then put it in your inventory so Tina and Miranda can eat the freshly prepared dish, right?”

“Oh, that’s good!”

“Surely that would be better!”

After accepting Niña-san’s idea, the policy after leaving the dungeon was decided.

◈

“Hey, Rant! Which weapon is the most comfortable for Rant?”

After the policy was decided, Noah asked me while continuing to hunt the orcs.

“The most comfortable weapon?”

“Yeah! Yesterday, you used a variety of weapons. Did any of them fit your hand the best?”

Even if it is the most comfortable weapon, there is no weapon that I think is like this.

Most monsters will die anyway if I wield it with my own power.

“Everything was normal. It’s these iron gloves that can pull out magic stones without being dirty.”

“Hmm~ I’m glad you like what I picked out… Oh, then what’s your favorite weapon, Rant?”

“Um…”

I crossed my arms and thought about it for a while.

A weapon you like that isn’t convenient or fits your hand.

In other words, aside from convenience, I mean a weapon that suits my taste.

I have a lot of erotic delusions of my previous life, but I also enjoy cartoons, animations, and action movies.

So yesterday, I made the shape of a weapon I thought of most of the time and tested it.

The problem is that if you ask me to pick just one of them, I can’t pick one.

Greatswords, hammers, halberds, chain scythes, twin swords, and longbows.

It’s all stuff I’m going to go to the middle of the day.

I also thought that if I could make magic into a weapon, I would like to make something like a gun.

However, since we only know the appearance of a gun and not its structure, even if we make it, it is no different from a toy gun.

In the first place, it is unknown whether something like gunpowder will be reproduced.

Now, most of them break their neck bones to get good quality Orc meat, but it will be very rare to need all the corpses of other monsters.

If so, there are no restrictions on how to destroy magic stones, so it is not bad to hunt mainly using mana weapons.

So, what is your favorite weapon to use as your main?

Even after thinking about it, everyone liked it.

As I continued to ponder, Elsie spoke from the side.

“Rant isn’t good with two-handed swords? So when he first made mana weapons, he made swords.”

“Ah, that’s probably because it’s just the basic among weapons.”

“Gee, I think even the basics can be your favorite!”

“You didn’t look bad wielding Rant’s spear yesterday. How about Rant? Would you like to learn spearmanship from me later?”

Private spearmanship instruction with Niña-san!

While seriously learning spearmanship, I think I will be able to enjoy time with the spears of the lower body during breaks.

After thinking about it for a while, I opened my mouth.

“As expected, I like everything. The two-handed sword, the spear, and of course the dagger. Besides that, the weapons I made yesterday.”

In the first place, it is also a romance to master various weapons, not just a specific weapon.

It’s good to stick to one thing, but isn’t it cool to be able to use a variety of weapons?

“I see~ Then, will you use the Rant alternately when making weapons with Mana Weapons in the future?”

“Maybe I’ll use the weapon I want to use when I’m in the mood?”

“I think that’s cool too! Because the warriors of the Huin tribe handled a variety of weapons, they were even called weapon masters!”

“Hee hee, Elsie really likes to compare Lant to old warriors.”

At Noah’s words, Elsie blushed shyly.

“That, that’s…”

Niña smiled kindly and said to Noah.

“It can’t be helped, Noah? Didn’t Noah say that? Rant is a hero to Elsie, so it’s natural for Elsie to naturally liken Rant to the warriors. Besides… Rant is really strong like a hero.”

“Hee hee, that’s right. Hey, Rant! Then what weapon are you going to use today?”

“I’m still wearing iron gloves today, Noah. Yesterday I tried it, but I want to catch the orcs without damaging them as much as possible.”

“Che~ It’s a pity. Then Rant will start using mana weapons in earnest from the 5th floor.”

“Hehe, since the monster on the 5th floor is antra, you can use your mana weapon as much as you like.”

Antra.

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

“What kind of monster is Antra, Mr. Niña?”

“Antra is a big red ant monster. Its skin is hard, so unless you promote on the 4th floor, you won’t be able to cut off its shell. Also, the jaw is enough to collect, so you can destroy it without breaking the magic stone.”

“Then I guess we can test various weapons.”

Elsie said, her eyes twinkling.

“I want to see Rant wielding various weapons and defeating monsters like a warrior.”

Seeing Elsie full of anticipation, I thought of going to the 5th floor as soon as possible.

The image of Elsie running around excitedly after I defeated Antra with a mana weapon.

It looks very cute, I want to see it soon too.
