9, Curry Rice of Anger (Part 2)
To labe is the person I love the most in the world
Since we first met, countless battles and time has passed
Fighting to protect and be protected
Froe
From your hand that holds mine, I feel warm and safe
However, the person I lovehappen to him
The fear of separation has
Even though the s are always close next to me
I, Ahrius have a fiance
Right now he hasn’t suggested a wedding yet but, he’ll suggest it one day
That person is Ganglabe
Recently one of our equipe and it’s boggling me
Magic crystals are sediments formed naturally from the abundance of mana in the ato, which are then crystallized
It has a strange quality given that it absorbs the surroundingit
Magic engineeringit asso will allow for a semi permanence i Spell disappears Because of this things like rain is a powerful enemy
Using it to aic, it raises your ic crystal, gradually extinguishi+ng and losing the function It’s different fro in the end
And ic allows for the interference of atoic crystals disappear after a short while
So for the sake of replenishment we journey towards Alturia
Alturia by itself is not a big country Because in addition to being a snow country, their food self-support is not good and they are not blessed with trees
It’s just that they have wealthy em resources
Further out like Yuyubi Naturally, the iron and copper may run out eventually
The industry which does best here is, ic crystals
Magic crystals can only be taken from places where it is naturally in abundance or is naturally dense but here, if you dig you’ll find as ic crystals in theshafts are restored in a week
It isfro in this place but, anyhow because of that that was how Alturia was established as a country
Of course, because of that land theirtechniques are top quality
During that journey, Shuri wasmysterious
When I first noticed, it hen I sleeping at night and a delicious s reached me tent
However, that night I just continued to sleep Perhaps because I thought that it was so coldweird
The next night, and the night after After this continued for several days, I realised that, isn’t this a bit strange
Following the origin of the scent, I crashed and came across Riru
“Riru What’s wrong, it’s so late”
“I can s Ha Steak”
This kid, isn’t she slowly treating the world as if it’s just ha steak?
I have to warn Shuri about this next ti
Swinging around behind Shuri’s tent, he waswith the pot
“Is it that?”
“No doubt about it Riru can feel it too That is truly, the co Steak”
The words of a junkie
However, what is this fragrance
How should I say, such a savoury smell…
Just the smell makes me feel like I’m full
“What do you think that is?”
“Itdish Riru’s Justice(intuition) is shouting out”
(TL: It see, so i’ll put the kanji in brackets next to it)
Let’s just ignore Riru’s slightly strange appearance I’ll lose if I care about it
Looking from afar I can see a soup It looks sort of brown
I can also see potatos and carrots but I can say any more than that
“Beco”
Riru performed a suicide attack When I noticed, she wasn’t next to me
“Ah Riru-san Sorry Did it stink?”
“No, it was a good srant And, what is that?”
“This? Just a little so new, I couldn’t h ability or knowledge”
“I’ll help sample”
Ah! Riru, that’s not fair!
I want to eat it as well!
“I’m sorry, the one Ifor people to eat”
Shuri looked sorry and laughed bitterly
How surprising Shuri failing his dish
Grabbing hold of the subordinates and teaching the perfectly with no mistakes
I haven’t seen so like a failed work from him, he has never delayed dinner because of a failure
Despite this, it’s rare for hies
“I won’tme to eat it”
Isn’t Riru’s use of Justice funda?
“No, I’ll let you after I can make it properly Until then please wait”
Towards Shuri sently refused, I felt that this is impossible
That face of Shuri’s is saying that he won’t let us eat it no matter what
Rather than being surprisingly stubborn, it’s more like Shuri who’s obsessed with food won’t allow that to pass
It was near time for me to leave, and I left that place behind
However, the next day, and the day after that, Shuri continued his trial and error
At first I had left it alone Thinking that it’ll be done soon and I can eat it so, well I’ll wait
However, nohad passed, he didn’t produce the completed product
Night after night, a delicious smell wafts by
After dinner I fell into a feeling like I was hungry again
Finally, I hid under the shadow of the tree so I could go and sample at any time
It seems that everyone else was the same
Before I realised, Teg was on top of the tree
“What are you doing Teg”
“Ah, well, I’ distance vision exercise on top of the tree, su”
His eyes were totally swi as he let out that excuse
Idistance vision exercises in the ht on top of a tree
Before I noticed, Riru was underground
So a hole, waiting for an opportunity
“Riru What are you doing?”
“Riru isn’t here Riru is not here”
Even if you gave an excuse, you have your way of speaking
Noticing a presence, Cougar inging his sword far away
If it was just that then it’s obvious it was just ordinary practice
However frohts were obvious, wanting to s to train doind of Shuri
“Cougar, are you training again”
“Ah, cause I still have a long way to go”
“If you go over there, there’s a watering place and the footing should be good though”
“Ah, well, I feel like doing it here Hahahahaha”
So forced
Naturally, I was peeping through the shadow of the tree
On top of the trees or under the ground or going doind is too much
Besides, a civilian like Shuri probably can’t do so like sense our presence
“Ahrius-san What are you doing over there?”
I was caught!?
N-no, there’s no way
Most likely, he thinks I’ to trick me, there’s no doubt about it
“H the curry powder is hard…”
Oh? The direction the wind’s blowing is strange
“Ahh… it’s no good again…”
W-what!?
If Shuri fails then he eats it by himself and cleans up
He won’t allow others to eat his failed works
I get that but, it’s fine if it’s a failure, I want to eat it, even one bite is fine
As I was thinking that, Shuri serves the failed work onto his plate
Then eats it himself
“””Ahh~…!!!”””
Without thinking sounds of disappointment were let out
Everyone synchronised together so there’s no doubt that everyone holds the sas
Ah, I wanted to eat some
“When I called out earlier there was no response so~, since there’s no one here there’s no need to be feeding anyone then~”
W-as that!?
Shuri ue, basically said he found out about us
D-does that mean if we had replied, we could’ve eaten?!
Ah, the ground, tree and tent is shaking
They’re angry…
It seems I can see hell tomorrow…
“Well, earlier was just a failed product anyway There’s no way I can let you eat it anyway~”
Shuri added a follow but, that isn’t enough as a follow up!
In the end, without letting us try it afterwards, we continued on
Ganglabe casually got hiree to pro other than unfair
However, even that thought
Ended up beco the audience
“There are no es like you Leave”
During the audience, the King, Flu’re Alturia said to us
During the luxurious and gorgeous audience, just as us five cootiation place, Flu’re-dono told us straight up
Indeed last year, because ere on the opposition side of the battle, there’s no denying the feelings of hostility
However, we couldn’t have iotiate
It’s an obvious fact but, if iance to whoever paid, assisting them for the sake of victory Due to that, they have a friendly allegiance during the time they are hired as well as a hostile relationshi+p
Basically, saying it badly we are no different fro opponents, it’s obvious that even talking is out of the question
Naturally, the ht make this country hostile but, even then these words andis just too much
However I wonder if Ganglabe expected this, he is calm
Given that Shuri doesn’t know this from that he was in a daze Well, in this place if he can just stay like that it’ll help
“Please do so about that It’s necessary for our work As for compensation”
“Right I’ll sell it if those two girls there are given as my son’s slave bitches”
…Haa?
What exactly is this person talking about?
To be a slave bitch for this father and son pair of fat pigs?
“Papa, I don’t want to embrace those country bimbos”
“It’s alright son They’ll be properly sterilized with medicine, ok”
Snap
Everyone here made a sound as if they snapped
Teg-san’s nape stood on end, Cougar’s haki surged, and Ganglabe’s anger was as if had dominated this space
Riru was indifferent While expressionless
No, this is her holding down and condensing all the anger inside of her
This is what Shuri said before, the wave of killing intent thing
Naturally, I was angry as well
Because if I don’t look at everyone objectively then,sentiment
Somehow I could feel the presence of a cat froination?
“King, Flu’re-sae If the surrounding royalty or feudal lords were to knoould they look at you”
Even up to now Ganglabe was trying his best to be calotiations
However Flu’re-dono would not stop his vulgar smile
“If it’s like that, it’s fine to just stop the sale of ic crystals to that territory
In this territory, there are just that many resources after all”
Ganglabe clicked his tongue a little
Indeed that’s hoas, ic crystals are an indispensable resource in this day and age
This area which is able tocan be said to be precious
If you negotiate with that, no matter which country it is, will find it difficult to refute
However, I’m suspicious of his nerves which intentionally talk of this area
“Papa The little girl with the thin figure is good”
“Hirl over there”
Me?!
Me beco that sort of person’s mistress?!
“It’s decided If you send that girl over there here then for ten times the ht?”
D-don’t joke around
Such a negotiation is unnecessary It’s better to just leave immediately
However Ganglabe endures his anger and sootiations
That’s praiseworthy but…
To be honest, I want to say that the reason we’re angry here is because of me
I understand If we can’t get ic crystals here then in the future it’ll be troublesome
In other places there are even places which can’t sell it
Getting it in this territory where it sells with stability, is the most efficient
“That’s too excessive… even if it’s a joke I can’t laugh”
“There’s no need to laugh You want otiation”
However, the responsibilities as a leader and
The position as my fiance
As if it was hanging on a balance, I felt like crying
“Well that’s that I’ll give those girls to h they stink of the countryside they’ll do”
“… That’s”
“Ganglabe…”
So angry his shoulders were shaking, Ganglabe
So it back with reason but
At this rate I don’t knohen he’ll explode
“Well well, excuse me for a sec”
At that time
Suddenly, Shuri stood up and started to act as if he was a clown
Given that it was so sudden I couldn’t prepare anything, neither I nor anyone else couldn’t do anything to stop him
Teg somehow reached out his hand to try stop him but it was impossible
“What is it you”
Flu’re-dono also at his sudden rude actions, brought together the wrinkles at this brows
It’s obvious If you take such an attitude to a feudal lord, then even if they cut your head off you can’t complain
“I alabe’s Mercenary Corp, my name is Shuri
Excuse
The fascinating candy that the prince is eating, where exactly did you get it”
Candy?
What is Shuri talking of all of a sudden?
Indeed the prince is eating a strange candy but… what about it I wonder?
“…At Newbyst What about it”
“No no, justsure”
Newbyst?
What exactly did Shuri want to confirm?
“For one thing, won’t you letto eat”
What is he saying all of a sudden, Shuri?
Did he plan on switching fro diplomacy
It’s true if it’s Shuri’s skill, it’s possible he can break down this situation
“Whyfor us to eat”
Exactly, it’s just like the annoyed Flu’re-dono says
The food of royalty, isn’t so a cook of mercenary corp can make
In the case of Newbyst, given that it was so the royalty wanted there were no questions about it but, using that scenario in this situation is closer to impossible
I wonder where Shuri’s absolute confidence comes from?
“No no, it’s the prince’s candy
Letdish which surpasses that”
Everyone of us commanders Looked at each other perplexed
Making a dish with candy? I understand if youdish?
“A captivating dish, you say”
However Flu’re-dono took the bait
An obvious appetite
However, I think I also want to know
What will he make with that brown candy
“Yes, potato, carrots, spring onions and meat That’s all I need
Let me show you a dish which taste so much better than the candy with just that”
Eh? Could it be those ingredients…
“…Interesting Having a meal with chocolate and that? Fine show me
If it tastes bad, I’ll cut off both those arms”
“As you wish In that case I’ll start preparing”
Cutting off both arms?!
How preposterous All of a sudden it beca shon
Even Ganglabe’s face is beco pale Of course Because if he loses, then it’s possible everyone here will have to receive that punishment
Right now, our lives are in both of Shuri’s hands
And just like that, Shuri started cooking
Bringing out the knife he carried and the portable stove, borrowing a pot and a cutting board, and evenly cutting up the spring onions, carrots and potatoes into appropriate sizes
I have a bad feeling So absurd
And then, sure enough he started to fry the spices he had hiddenly brought
As expected it’s the dish hecandy to that dish?!
Previously Shuri has a record ofcandy to cooking is a bit!?
Just like that, he adds the butter and flourthe pot with one with a deeper botto it
Heating it for tenin the soup base and the candy, then closed the lid
“…What is that disgusting looking dish”
Flu’re-dono asked with a dubious expression
To be honest froht tiht that the soup would be that brown
Looks… sorta dirty
“No, just try one”
“…Well, alright I guess”
Confir that it has been heated for ten minutes, Shuri opened the pot lid full of confidence
