Chapter 347


(347) Should I take my time to enjoy myself?


Translator: Tseirp


“So Neete is staying in the hotel with beautiful night view that Carol found?”


“Yeah, it’s her vacation after all . ”


Although the fee for making soy sauce was not that great, the price for the yeast seemed to have been quite considerable .


Even though there’s no idea if the j.a.pan yeast could even survive in this world – – it was not surprising that it would fetch a high price .


I wanted to refuse the money but Suzuki said that it would be better to receive the money instead because it would reduce future problems .


If I pa.s.sed it to them without charging them, the work to grow yeast would s.n.a.t.c.h the profits of the sprout shops .


Because of that, I let Neete use that money to enjoy a vacation .


With Pionia’s permission, of course .


“I feel bad for Pionia-neesan but I’ll let her enjoy a luxurious stay . Does Master want a spare key? It’s amazing, the whole floor is reserved and there’s even a guest room . ”


“I don’t need it . ”


It would be a ha.s.sle to specially make my way there to get and return the key .


Even though I said that, it seemed that she was prepared for that as she said ‘You can just pa.s.s the key to Lana’ and pressed the key to me .


I glanced over saw Carol looking at me with expectant eyes .




I see, so Carol was encouraging her .


“ … All right . Well, I’ll go over to play if I have time at night . I’m interested in the hotel room service too . ”


“Also, although you taught them how to make soy sauce, why did you not teach them the method to make j.a.panese sake?”


“Hn – I was a little concerned about the national system and for the environment . It may be groundless but I fear that it might not have a decent outcome . I’ll investigate before I teach them . ”


System and environment?


I didn’t understand but I guess it’s fine if Neete teaches it in the way she wants to rather than not teach because she felt it was troublesome . I’m sure it was probably because the rice of this world is not suitable for making j.a.panese sake .


Incidentally, soy sauce production originally takes over half a year but as expected of the Otherworld .


There seem to be skills that encourage aging . Just like in My World, the plants grow or ferment in the blink of an eye – – or not to that extent but they would have soy sauce by a week so even Suzuki was looking forward to it .


And just like how Suzuki was looking forward to soy sauce, Haru was eager too .


The yukata Haru was wearing didn’t have a hole for her tail yet so her tail was wagging excitedly below her yukata .


“ … Haru, I know you are excited but don’t forget your training to control your tail . ”


“ – – ! I’m sorry . ”


It seemed that Haru did not notice that her tail was wagging .


I could tell that she was focusing on her tail as it was throbbing . It still trembled with slight movements .


I guess controlling her tail was more difficult than expected .


We pa.s.sed through the Otherworld Street and reached Magic Street .


I imagined a mysterious district with tons of magical tools aligned since it was called Magic Street but I was completely wrong .


It was closer to a factory street instead .


Just looking at the smoke coming out from the chimneys was enough to make one feel sick .


“Magic Street is the street with many blocks of factories dedicated to the production of magical tools . ”


Carol looked at the smoke as she commented .


I recall she mentioned that only the j.a.panese Street was a location suitable for sight-seeing .


“I guess we won’t be able to sight-see much here . ”


“Only the observation tower would fit as a sight-seeing spot . There’s a restaurant on the highest floor of that tower there and it overlooks the entire town . ”


Carol pointed at a tower that was about as tall as a regular radio tower . I guess about 30 meters high?


“Climbing up seems troublesome . ”


Although seeing the scenery from a high vantage point was pretty but I have the Hawk-Eye skill and could look down on from the sky from not only 30 meters but a couple of hundreds of meters high so it didn’t hold much appeal to me .


“There’s a vehicle called an elevator that will automatically bring you up . ”


“There’s an elevator!?”


It wasn’t that bizarre considering there was a flying ship but they actually had such a thing as well .


“Yes – – it’s called a hydraulic elevator and it is apparently powered by water that flows underground . There are many other facilities among the Magic Street facilities that utilize groundwater flow as power . ”


Was it something similar to hydropower?


Haru glanced at me,


“Well, the observation tower won’t go away so let’s follow our plan to check out the dungeon today . ”


And so I prioritized the task she wanted to do .


We had to spend time just waiting for Neete after all .


“Carol, where is the dungeon?”


“It is below that observation tower . ”


“Ah, okay . Then let’s take a look at the observation tower once we are done with conquering the dungeon . ”


““Okay . ””


Haru and Carol nodded .


There were two entrances to the observation tower and we headed to the entrance to the right .


There was a guard beside the door but we were let through easily after Haru showed her Adventurers Guild registration card .


“Shouldn’t they examine a little more strictly?”


I thought to myself and turned around . But the entrance was already shut and we could no longer see the man .


“The examinations to enter a dungeon is only there to a certain extent . They are only on the watch to prevent criminals from entering the dungeon after all . ”


“Criminals entered the dungeon in Florence though . ”


“It’s rarer for there to be full day guards for small towns . ”


Haru explained . I didn’t say it with the intention that Norn-san and other’s work was shoddy .


“If anything, the guards are there to prevent people from bringing monsters out from the dungeon without permission . ”


Carol continued after Haru .


Ah, that is certainly important as well .


I guess they also make sure the monsters don’t overflow?


I thought of what happened at Dakyat and shivered .


A huge number of monsters appeared in a herd .


That time it was thanks to Carol’s skill and it in fact functioned as a bonus stage . My level went up a lot .


But just thinking of what would have happened if Carol wasn’t there or if it did not happen at night frighten me .


Would we have been able to protect Ferruit?


No, it would have been impossible .


It would be impossible even at my current level .


“But that doesn’t mean I have to push myself now . ”


“Master?”


Carol looked at me with a slightly suspicious expression to my monologue .


“It’s nothing, I’m just talking to myself . ”


Now then, it’s been some time since we could explore a dungeon with no time limit .


Let’s take the time to enjoy it .
