Vol 2 Chapter 1 (1/2)
Sati becomes an apprentice adventurer
“We are going shopping Come with me”
Taking Sati with ht since her eyes got better, but that wasn’t the case She didn’t fall over any here and there It was very unsettling how unsteady she was Since it can’t be helped I take her hand once again
Are slaves supposed to be this handful?
“Having fun?”
“Yes, it’s fun Also, it’s a strange feeling somehow The smells and sounds are the same, but it’s like I’m in a different place”
We arrive at the shopping district First we should procure a shopping basket for Sati Perhaps they have one at the general store
A store selling baskets was found quickly While ere there, we also bought a bucket, a pot, and a water jug A basket for shopping and a bucket for the kitchen Right, we also need one for the bath One water jug for general use and another one for drinking water, also I should buy a few more pots and frypans Ah, there is also soap There are various kinds According to the shop clerk, there are two types, one for general use and one for bathing, so I got both
Ladle and long chopsticks? This is a rolling pinmade out of who-knohat? A pot stand There is also tableware Porcelain and metal, there are also wooden ones Spoons, forks, and knives Cups There are also brooms and brushes I take all that catchesthem to the shopkeeper
I asked the shopkeeper to wrap up the large heap of merchandise, then I walked around the store onceIt looks like we could get most of e need I can’t look down on a different world either I thought it would be more inconvenient, but aside from a small part, I feel that it’s not that different Well, there is the fact that ic
I pay, then I have Sati hold the shopping basket, but the rest I put in the Iteht
Hmm, what’s left is a kitchen knife and towels, maybe a dust-cloth I have to also remember firewood
There was also a hoe at the shop where we’ve found a kitchen knife, so I bought one for the kitchen-garden Where do they sell seeds, I wonder? I didn’t see any florists and there are also no greengrocers, I think Maybe there is an Agricultural association somewhere?
I bought firewood There were also huge unsplit logs so bought some those as well I went back to the previous store and also bought an axe I wanted to try wood-splitting a bit
When I asked Sati if she had anything she wanted, she shook her head Well, she didn’t do any housework yet, so no wonder if she doesn’t know Let’s buy soredients after this
There is plenty wild rabbit etables that were similar to the ones I was familiar with from japan There is also wheat flour, bread, and pasta Oil …this is lard, maybe Oil is expensive, huh Maybe this is why they don’t really make deep-fried stuff It’s a bit pricey, but I want to eat soar and sugar Sugar is also expensive, but I still buy about 1 kg
It’s a shame that there is no miso, soy sauce, and rice
There are beans, solike natto?
Eggs are also expensive Fro, there were ht from every kind I think I will also buy soon anyway I have Sati carry all she can and the rest I put in the Item Box
I could’ve put everything in the Ite basket felt lonely, so I have her carry sos instead As expected, she doesn’t look around helplessly any, instead, she has an earnest expression while she follows me
In the ice shop, they were also selling refrigerators It’s just a sierator If you put in a big block of ice, then it apparently lasts for 3 or 4 days I buy one together with sos in it from now on
“You must be tired Should I carry the basket?”
I would just put it in the Iteh
‘It’s alright’, said Sati shaking her head However, the basket looks clearly heavy Let’s just take a rest here The Dragon’s Breath Pavillon is close anyway
The restaurant was quite packed since it was lunchtime I order fruits juice for two froht us the juice
“How is the new home, Masaru-chan?”
“Well, it’s not bad”
I responded half-heartedly I onlyelse
“Then, who is she?”
I guess this is why the proprietress brought the order over herself, even though the shop is this busy
“Weell, I thought I would have her do the housework and such”
“Oh, a slave Did you buy one? She is cute, isn’t she?”, she broadly grinned
The proprietress returned to hile saying ‘You take care of her!’ It’s a bit e However she didn’t particularly criticizea slave is not unusual Perhaps that’s why she was grinning that h, perhaps it’s a problem if people can immediately tell that she is a slave by the crest on her ar sleeved clothes
As I glanced towards Sati, I see that she is looking this ithout drinking her juice I guess she aiting
“Mn It’s okay to drink”
When I said that she started to gulp it down I also drink Maybe it’s a fruit close to a peach or o There is plenty of flesh of the fruit in it and ice has also been added, it’s sweet and cold and really delicious Saying that ‘It’s delicious’, Sati is also drinking while savoring it
“I’ve been in their care before here The second floor is for lodging The food here is very tasty, you see Let’s come here to eat next time”
“Yes”
It looks like Sati already drank all of it She is rolling the ice around in her mouth
“Did you like the juice? Want to drink this one too?”
Saying that I handed the juice that had about half of it left to Sati, by doing that she had a wide s on her face as she accepted Mn, I row more
We returned hooods to their place with the help of Sati I’ve put water created byIt would’ve been bothersome to make round trips between the house and well anyway After we’ve put the refrigerator and everything we bought to their places I declare to Sati
“Froed by Sati I’ll leave it to you”
“Yes Please leave it to me! I will do my best!”
I’m really uneasy about this, but it looks like she is at least motivated, well, it will probably be fine It will be fine, right?
It’s just after noon, it’s still early to start preparing dinner, so there is nothing to do I don’t want to work either, in japan I would boot up the PC at times like this I miss the net
It seeht piece by piece with a serious expression Ah, she picked up the kitchen knife She did it very cautiously, but she is touching the blade part with her fingers I’m scared I wanted to stop her, but I fir the kitchen knife means she will no doubt cut herself from time to time, but it can be immediately fixed by Heal
It looks like the test run of the kitchen knife ended safely She moved on to the next item
I think I will go outside the city to test-fire some spells
Even though I ic Level 4, I didn’t even use it after that time that ended in a misfire I have to properly practice it
“Sati I’ outside the city to test-fire so, or do you want to come with me?”
“I’”
“It erous?”
Although, probably only wild rabbits coht outside the city
“It’s alright I’”
I worry about leaving her alone house-sitting anyway, so I think
I wear e too I thought that skirt is not really fitting for the fields, so long sleeves and full-length trousers it is I properly told her to change in a different room!
We got held up at the gate I wanted to bring Sati outside, but she doesn’t have any identification papers
“Ooh, isn’t it the Dragon Slayer Are you going wild rabbit hunting today too?”
It’s a proot pro Wouldn’t you just call me by my name already…
“No no, I just helped a little, what Dragon Slayer Also, today I just thought I would practice ic outside the city today She is a potential party member and apprentice adventurer”
I couldn’t say that she is slave I bought with indecent intentions, so I left it at that She herself is greatly delighted by the sound of ‘adventurer’ It s she wants to do
“A beastkin, huh She will be a great asset after she’s grown”
So, it caht that she doesn’t have identification papers It doesn’tback So for the ti to the Adventurer’s Guild
When I told the old fellow at the reception desk that I wanted to register Sati into the guild ere led to the place where the vice-guild-head and Tilika-chan were, just like last time
“Ooh, if it isn’t Masaru! What do you need today? What? You want to register her into the guild? Hohoo, a slave, I see You just got your reward yesterday, aren’t you a fast one!”
‘Gahahahaha’, he laughed as he patted th It’s always this reaction The examination finished in no time The usual questions and what she wants to do
“I also wanted to be an adventurer! And cooking too, there are s I want to do And, and, I want service Masaru-sama a lot and have him be pleased!”
“Wahahahaha Masaru, you are loved, huh! You take care of her!”
After that there was the explanation about the guild, then got a card issued after paying 100 gold I asked if it was unusual for a small child to become an adventurer, but they said it’s also not uncommon for children around 10 years old to become adventurers A slave’s rewards are all received by their master It’s written on the card that she is a slave and my name as her owner Rank is, of course, F By the way, o up just froation Finally, there is the oath to Tilika-chan
“With this, I’ at the Guild Card dangling fro
“That’s right But only after you train for a while and get stronger So, an apprentice adventurer for now”
“Yes, I’ll do my best!”
Since she now becaet her a set of equip appropriate A leather armor and a small shi+eld, a short sword and leather boots, the same equipment as the one I had first Yeah, it’s cute, it’s cute We had the hole on the bottom part for her tail and the holes on the leather hel out and twitching She doesn’t look like a fighter adventurer at all, but she look good in them The store clerk watches Sati with a s the equipment
“Thank you very ht with my life on the line!”
Just with moderation, it’s fine if you do it with moderation…
Is what I thought, but I just couldn’t say it in front of the fired up Sati
