Chapter 30
030 . Two teachersSEPTEMBER 6, 2018 / TEMPUSINFINITUM
Today is the day [phoenix company] has its intermediate level training course with Patty acting as the lecturer .
Patty has been in high spirits since the morning .
She came to my hotel room early and invited me for breakfast . Even while eating she was in a good mood talking about our schedule all the way through .
“We’ll get to the 5th ward before the end of the day and camp there, then tomorrow morning we’ll hunt in the 2nd level . ”
She’ll teach us about the topography of the 2nd level, what kind of demons there are and things to be careful about as well as personal experiences she had there .
After returning to my room she even helped me pack .
The two of us set out and walked together to the labyrinth gate .
Throughout all of this, she had a smile blooming on her face .
Even though I’m off to the labyrinth I can’t help feeling happy and excited .
This ended at the labyrinth gates .
“Ossan! Over here, over here!”
In our usual meeting spot, a monkey is jumping around .
Meg was also waving energetically at his side .
Although we are off to the labyrinth they have the atmosphere of people going on a picnic .
I might also be the same though .
I can feel the breathing of Patty right beside me which makes me feel really good .
Just as I was thinking about calming down a person appeared from the shadow of a building behind Meg and raised their hand .
“Good morning……… . . ”
Without even having to look you can feel the atmosphere around Patty change .
“Are you surprised!? I asked Bonnie-san to come along!”
Jean is looking at me with eyes that say
please praise me .
Argh! This type of innocence should be a crime!
He’s guilty .
Guilty!
“I’m sorry . Jean had invited her before I realised what he as going to do…… . ” Meg apologises in a whisper .
It’s okay Meg . You haven’t done anything wrong .
Patty and Bonnie-san face each other .
They don’t seem to see the other members .
“Good morning . I’m 7th rank adventurer Patricia Cherryc.o.ke . ”
“Bonnie…… . . 6th rank………”
Their eyes are probing each other as they name themselves .
“What’s your relationship with Ippei?”
“Ippei is my student…… . I’m raising him to be my porter…… . ”
This is the first time I’m hearing this Bonnie-san .
“Oh, Ippei is already my porter and has been for some time . ”
Was I in such a position?!
“When did I become your porter Patty?”
“Oh, didn’t you say you wanted to adventure together but since you were too weak being a porter was fine?”
“Umu, Battles are impossible for you……”
Both of you are mean .
“Oh well, this time both of you can train Ippei-san . ”
Peace was brokered by our youngest member Meg .
Certainly, with recovery magic, life magic and various other skills I’ll make an excellent porter but I want to be an adventurer if I can .
Moving on .
I’m not a thick-headed main character from some hero series when it comes to Patty . I understand we have a delicate relationship right now .
Patty was looking forward to exploring with me today then a person named Bonnie-san abruptly shows up . It’s easy to understand her feelings .
I also like Patty and want to push our relationship one step further but Patty is a n.o.ble .
n.o.ble ladies are not allowed to interact socially with commoners .
Marriage is even more
more outrageous .
Even if we ignore the social aspect it’s expressly prohibited by law .
It seems male n.o.bles can lay their hands on common women though .
It’s complete male domination over women here .
On the other hand, if a commoner falls in love with a n.o.ble they are punished .
The lady is sent to a monastery and forced into becoming a nun while the man is either executed or sent to the mines as forced labour .
Forced labour turns into an execution if they had s.e.x .
n.o.ble women and common men falling in love is relatively common but those cases where it develops into a s.e.xual relationship are surprisingly few . (TN . Not really surprising when the price for having s.e.x is death . )
Basically, if I confess to Patty it’s off to the mines for me and if we have s.e.x I better prepare for death .
This is the reason Patty is also hesitating and the reason the appearance of Bonnie-san has made her more anxious than necessary .
Everybody finishes their preparations .
“Good morning everyone . This time we are exploring the 2nd level with Patty and Bonnie-san as our instructors . Let’s all greet our sensei’s . My best regards for today . ”
“”Thanking you in advance . ””
Jean and Meg both have smiling faces .
I hope both sensei’s get along for the sake of those 2 .
Along with his usual backpack, Gobu also has 2 long parcels under his arms .
Those are the weapons I remade for Meg and Jean .
Because Patty was against it I decided not to hand over the degraded holy sword and imitation holy mace .
I asked Onkel-san to send them to auction for me .
The new weapons are more robust than normal ones
normal ones and though reduced they still have high attack power .
I have also given them the holy attribute . This should be okay, right?
“Okay, I made you new weapons as promised . ”
“Oh! It’s a good sword!”
“This mace seems easy to use . ”
How can you both handle such heavy weapons?
If I equip the mace my attack power only goes up to 10 even though the weapon has an attack power of 189 .
As usual, I cannot seem to satisfactorily draw out the performance of a weapon .
Since the last time with Meg, I made a mace for Gobu as well .
I considered letting him use the imitation holy mace but as Gobu is a golem that can level up I made his mace the same as Megs so his growth won’t be hindered .
“Well then, let’s get to the 5th ward by the end of the day!”
Guided by the energetic voice of Patty we descended the stairs into the abyss .
Our 4 days and 3 nights search has begun at last .
The hummingbirds and Hikaru-kun that were useless before the skeletons had the fastest enemy extermination rate of anyone on the 1st floor .
There was no enemy that could withstand being blinded then shot from 3 different directions .
Our formation is Jean and Meg in front, Bonnie-san using hit and run tactics and me and Patty at the rear .
That was our winning formation but I rushed through the 1st level with a plus alpha (TN . plus alpha is a wasei-eigo term [and Korean apparently] for something extra/extra special . )
We entered the 4th ward in the morning and by 3pm we were in the 5th ward .
“Shall we have a break soon?” Patty suggests after looking at the status of the other members .
As expected.
As expected of the leader of [angel wing] . Shes really admirable .
Newcomers rarely notice that their fatigue is building up and though slight their movement dulls .
Patty is always keeping an eye of the fatigue of all the members as well as making sure they stay hydrated, eat properly and treat any injuries .
“Alright . I’m preparing a special snack today . Please look forward to it . ”
I enter a small suitable room and prepare the snack which today is a crepe .
I make it a different way to restaurants though . It’s often made with caramel sauce, orange juice and orange zest .
Today, however, I am outdoors and in a labyrinth not to mention oranges are out of season so I decided to make a simple one .
I had already made the dough back at the hotel so I placed the iron pan over the fire, melted the b.u.t.ter and added the dough . I sprinkled sugar and orange liqueur on .
The alcohol in the liqueur evaporated after catching fire . Flambeed to completion .
“It’s like fire magic! The orange smells wonderful!”
Meg who loves meat and sweat things lets out an entranced voice .
That’s right . Sweets and cakes are enjoyed with the 5 senses .
After enjoying the sight, sound and smell please enjoy the warmth and taste .
It’s cold in the labyrinth today so the warm snack was popular with everyone .
After eating the snack Bonnie-san brings her body close to mine .
Patty’s eyes open wide .
“Ippei……the usual… . . do it…… . . ”
“Wh, what?!”
Patty stares at us .
I know how you feel .
“Cleaning magic… . . ”
“Right… . . ”
Un . I also misunderstood at first .
