Chapter 11 – Raw Materials and Inn and Prospects and Secret Meeting (1/2)

It’s already late night (It’s 01:30 right now that I’m posting this chapter. I started TL’ing at 11:00). As I said that I will get somewhat free time today for TL’ing the chapters, but looks like I wasn’t able to as the Chapter 12 is even bigger than Chapter 10. So it will be in parts….That’s why you will have to wait some hours as I will sleep and then after waking up TL it. After all it is Sunday for me and btw most of the people who are in Europe orNorth & South America will get this chapter by night or evening. I guess (not much confident in time differences). Anyhow today only Chapter 11 and Chapter 12 Part 1.be happy.

Chapter 11 – Raw Materials and Inn and Prospects and Secret Meeting

[ET: Tense is always changing.]

Some time after the attack from Goblins (from both sides). We both decided to continue investigating the ‘Labyrinth’.

After that, we met various types of monsters en route.

But they all were different from the ones in the forest or it’s surrounding areas. Just what I expect from a Dungeon.

For example,

‘Wolf’. It was just like it’s name says.

‘Lizard’. This one is a big skink lizard. It’s over-all length is about 1-2 metre.

‘Rabbit. This one is a wild rabbit about the size of dog. By the way it is edible.

For some reason, these all are demons which don’t give the monster like feeling. If you ignore their largeness and body color then they can be found on earth too.

Doesn’t something like……erm, dragon appear here?

When I asked that to Elk, I was punched and yelled at ‘You got a death wish? Idiot’

No but everyone wants to see it once right? Fighting it is……you know.

Anyhow, after defeating those guys, we completed the established practice of ‘Tearing Off’ in this world which is the same in hunting games too.

The fangs or fur for Wolf, skin for Lizard and like that the useful parts are teared off and then sold within the city.

……or so Elk was saying.

And after we both grabbed some resources (I can call it that,right?), we both left the dungeon.

It was already Evening outside. Well, ain’t that fine?

☆☆☆

After that,

When I asked Elk ‘Isn’t there any good inn?’ she replied that the inn she is staying at is good. Her inn is the ideal inn with ‘Safety’, ‘Cheapness’ and ‘Tasty Food’.

And so, it ended up me heading there.

I thought if it is fine to let one unknown man live in the same inn in which she is living. But then I recalled the incident of the morning.

Even so, when I asked about it indirectly,

“It will be good until you try to do something?”

Fast Reply.

There are also girls like this who are frank or act manly.

Or else, am I being trusted? or am I being underestimated……

Rather, the talk just went too smoothly!

I if object her words, won’t I be thought as a man who can self-constrain himself?

That……yep, it will definitely be hard to live on afterwards.

No well it’s a complete truth that I can’t sef-constrain myself, but I want to avoid letting a girl I’ve just met know about that fact.

And the inn has favorable terms so I really don’t want her to reject me living there.

And so, I accepted her and let her guide me.

The inn Elk is living in is called ‘Bermuda’.

……I thought ‘What if I went in there and can’t ever come back out’ for a moment……anyhow, putting off the first impression I got from the name,

I enter the inn thinking that it would be good if it’s a comfortable place.

“Welcome! To Bermuda where ‘Once you enter you can’t leave out!’”

We are welcomed by an excessively energetic girl.

Her age is maybe 2 years lower than mine? She has brown pony tail hair reaching her shoulders. Her face is childish and is fair-skinned. More than anything her smile is really bright for my eyes!

I ignore the welcoming lines which actually are the same as what I thought before entering.

“By the way, I’m Tanya, the self-proclaimed poster girl of this inn! Welcome Customers♪”

Self-proclaimed hell with it. But she really is girl full of spirit, to the extent that it will irritate most of the people.

I don’t hate it, though

“Ah, Yes Thank you. Er, is there any room vacant? I want to live here for some time.”

“Yes, with pleasure~!”

Is this a bar or what. [ET: ‘with pleasure’ is said mostly at bar or love hotels, that’s why MC says as such.]

When I glance at my side, Elk is face palming with a worn-out expression.

“The only flaw of this inn……”

I see, so this girl is always full of spirit.

From what I heard, looks like Tanya-chan who is also the daughter of the owner of this inn helps from being a poster girl to being a waitress in the dining hall.

She is good-looking and has cheerful personality, so she is popular among the customers, but looks like Elk is not good with noisy places.

“Ah? Isn’t it Elk-san. Eh, What, you brining a man here, is spring finally going to come for you?”

“It’s not that, you don’t need to pry to any further.”

“Aw, boring. I thought I will be getting the chance to choose the name of the future child.”

“Just how many steps forward are you thinking about, idiot! Stop speaking ridiculous jokes in front the person himself! I’m sorry Minato, you don’t need to pay attention to this girl at all!”

“Hmm, so he is called Minato? Is it beginning of a love story?”

“I’m telling you it’s fricking different! ……Minato let’s change this inn, ‘kay? I know other good inns too!”

“Aww, don’t say something so lonely, Onee-sama♪”

“Who is the Onee-sama you creep! Geez, it’s good that you are popular right now, but if you keep on serving them with this attitude soon enough they will disappear?”

“It fine, It’s fine. I only serve and tease Elk-san to this extent.”

“What the !!”

Elk, your character is changing.

I’m curious that why Elk became like this, but for now let’s ignore it.

But well, if she is always being teased like this, it’s natural for her get fed up.

“Incidentally, which is your room, Elk?”

“My room is in the inner part on the second floor.”

“Is that so, I see. Then Tanya-chan if you can do it then I want my room to be……—”

“Understood~, You want your room next to Elk-san’s room,right?”

“—On the first floor.”

Well, I want to have the floor different at least. It’s not like I would do something if it is the same floor.

Tanya-chan made a face saying ‘Tsk’ but she does her work ‘honestly’ because she quickly brought out necessary documents.

“Fill the name and number of days you want to stay here. The rest we will write. A-And if possible write the type of girl you prefer here.”

I take back what I just said.

And from what I hear, there are not many rooms vacant on the first floor……the ones that are vacant are big sized rooms and medium-sized rooms.

The medium-sized rooms are about the size of a normal room in a Japanese-lodging. 50 copper coins for 1 night.

The big sized rooms are almost the size of a room in a high-class hotel. 1 silver coin for 1 night.

Well from the currency values I heard from Elk, I have a lot of money with me. I’ll go with the medium-sized room, it isn’t like I desire a high-class room.

In truth they also have small rooms around the size of ‘small rooms’ in a business hotel. It’s price if also pretty reasonable, 30 coppers for 1 night, by the way Elk is also living in this type of room.

But unfortunately, these rooms on both floors are full and only the other types of rooms are left. Can’t be helped.

Incidentally, there is a common bath. The people living in small rooms have to give extra fees but the people living in big-sized and medium-sized rooms don’t have to.

I pay the price for a medium-sized room on the first floor for 1 week. In total it is 3 silver coins and 50 copper coins.

I take the key for the room and when I glance at my behind, Elk was getting red due to the jokes by Tanya-chan. It seems like she will throw her anger towards me if I say anything, so ignore for now.

Elk spoke ‘Good grief……!’. Thank you for your hard work.

☆☆☆

A little later, Elk asked me to come to her room saying ‘I have to talk about something’. So, I lock the room which I just now took and head towards her room.

Though I lock it, it’s not like there is anything valuable inside the room.

Anyhow, every adventurer including me and Elk moves here and there with their personal belongings……or perhaps I should say, equipments. And those equipments mostly are of good quality.

So, there are most people who don’t leave their equipments in the inn and keep on wearing it to prevent theft.

And above all I have gotten the ‘Hyperspace Backpack’ from mom. And if I have this I don’t have to worry about my living space.

It has limits, but still it has the capacity as that of a large storage room.

And should I say as expected? because Elk doesn’t has much belonging inside her room. The only things there are things needed for daily life and things needed for adventurer work.

It somehow feels just too low things……well, it can’t be helped even if I think about it.

Elk puts away the bag filled with the raw materials brought from the labyrinth and gives me an eye signal saying ‘Sit’. I accept her offer. I sit on a chair while Elk sits on her bed.

“Minato, the raw materials we brought is it alright to sell them at the guild tomorrow?”

“Eh? Ah, Yeah it alright. Is it something you can sell just by bringing it over there?”
