64 To the Norm Village (1/2)

”Can allspice, green pepper, sansho, huabei pepper, pepper, vanilla, garlic, ginger, chili, and even onions be classified as spices? .... What are you talking about?

”What are you talking about all by yourself again?

Oh, Adelina, good morning. I was just watching the oracle. I asked her to look into spices and it seems that there are quite a few different types of spices that can be found around here... many of them are a little different in form and nature than what I know, but I thought I'd make a better meal out of it. I thought I might be able to eat a little better.

”Why are you using God as a convenient research tool... you'll get punished. ...Why are you all wet? It's already stopped raining... what the hell have you been doing?

Actually, Masaru had realized that crabs are hard to find when it doesn't rain, so he had spent the whole night wandering around, trying to catch them. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for and what you can do to help.

The number of skills has been increasing secretly, but Masaru, who's been searching for crabs all night and hasn't been getting enough sleep, hasn't noticed. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do, and how you're going to do it.

So we'll just go to the gnome village today as planned, right?

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure you'll be able to do it. I hope the gnomes are okay.

How did we not get eaten? .... I don't know.

I'm sure it's because I look so bad!

Isn't that sad to say?

Hey, .......... Aren't you sad to say it?

I'm sure you'll be able to understand why I've been so impressed with your work.

And to the gnome village: ....

This is a land that has nothing to do with beastmen! This is a land that has nothing to do with beastmen! We can't have you in this village!

I'm not going to let you into this village!” For some reason, Goro, who has zero communicative power at a time like this, is negotiating with the Nome men... What are you doing, Kiva?

”Hey, Goro, sit down!

I'm not a dog! I'm not a dog! I'm a cat-man!

I'm not a dog! I'm a cat-man! It's time to change negotiators. Time to switch negotiators.

He grabs me by the back collar and leads me towards the beastmen in the rear to negotiate. They're still making noises like ”You're treating me like a dog! You idiot! I hear the voices of the beastmen and some kind of blows, but I pretend not to know them.

I'm Masaru, a member of the human race. I'm Masaru, a member of the human race, and I was taken care of by Mr. Botts the other day. If you don't mind, I'd like to speak with Mr. Botts.

”Who would want to deal with a shady guy like you?

This is a troublesome type of person. I'll have to threaten him. ....

I'm sure you're not the only one who has a problem with this.

A deal?

I trusted him and gave him some salt and dried fish, but the gnome betrayed my trust like that. I understand, I'll just take it as a learning experience this time. I understand.

Masaru's voice was getting louder and louder, and because of the large number of beastmen crowding the entrance to the village, a number of other gnomes had also gathered. A gnome had just run off somewhere, and he would probably talk to old Botts or the head of the village. Adelina was holding her mouth in a smile.
