How To Live In A Different World Volume 2 Chapter 12

The 12th Story: The Valles Plains

"Ni-chan, that was an amazingly long bath" [Elban] [1]

—In the blink of an eye I stopped being a customer and now I am a Ni-chan.

I will stop thinking about it.

And I will accept it.

I will stay in good terms with Elban to secure the bathroom.

"Yes, it was very comfortable. I am sorry for taking too long" [Yoji]

"No, no, no, it is okay. I see, I see, you like it, I used a lot of money to make it" [Elban]

"Is there something?" [Yoji]

"No, it is just a little bit luxurious around here, it is an imitation of the aristocrats, so the people speak ill of me, honestly it makes me depressed" [Elban]

Elban says with a dejected expression.

"They don't understand the good points of this bath. I think one is necessary for a family. When I buy a house, I will make one without a doubt" [Yoji]

I spoke well about the bath, exaggerating a bit to flatter Elban.

"I see, I see, you are good talking! You are a really good guy" [Elban]

It seems that Elban was extremely happy when I praised the bath.

This guy is pretty easy too.

Inside my heart I made a big Gut pose. [2]

"Then, Ni-chan, for tomorrow's breakfast, please be careful as it will only be served from 6 to 8, aside from that we will not serve breakfast" [Elban]

"I see. Then, can I ask for it to be served at 6?" [Yoji]

"Oh, it is okay. It is early, but…" [Elban]

"I will go to sleep for today, tomorrow I will go to the guild and after that for monster hunting" [Yoji]

"Oh, I will have it ready at 6 in the morning" [Elban]

"Thank you" [Yoji]

"Then, good night" [Elban]

"Ou, good night" [Yoji]

I returned to the room just as it is, confirmed the equipment and the items just in case, and as it was around 7 in the night I decided to go to sleep.

As I sleep quite early yesterday I woke up around 4 in the morning.

It is still dark even when I open the room's window.

I bring a chair near the window and look outside.

Outside I can see the Count Garren's Castle.

"Haaa, what would I do, and in a moment 4 months pa.s.sed by" [Yoji]

I came to another world so suddenly, and I have come so far.

While thinking about such a thing, I was watching the Valles' streets from the room until it was breakfast time.

When it was around 6 in the morning I went downstairs to the first floor. Elbin put the breakfast on the table and he was waiting.

"Ou, good morning" [Elban]

"Good morning" [Yoji]

"You came right on time" [Elban]

"Yes, it was awful waiting; I have been looking outside the window while waiting" [Yoji]

"Well, when you are done eating you can leave the dishes as they are and call me with a loud voice" [Elban]

"I see. Then Itadakimasu" [Yoji] [3]

"Ou, go ahead" [Elban]

The breakfast was French bread with b.u.t.ter, accompanied with milk, bacon and fried eggs.

It was a simple meal, but accompanied with the meat I kept from last night it was a good meal.

After finis.h.i.+ng the food, I return to the counter and hand the room's key to Elban.

"Well, good luck!" [Elban]

When I was leaving, Elban said so and saw me off.

I headed to the guild, but because I didn't want to take too long, I put my skill points into physical fitness and agility.

Thanks to that I arrived at the guild in 20 minutes.

The adventurer guild is open the 24 hours of the day.

There are parties leaving at 2 or 3 in the morning, so they are always open.

Anyway, when I look at the reception counter, Celine wasn't there.

"It is regrettable, was I too early?" [Yoji]

Since it cannot be helped I sit in front of a male receptionist.

"I would like to do a monster subduing quest, can you tell me about it?" [Yoji]

The somewhat dandy receptionist-san smiles and answers.

"Okay. Could you show me your adventurer's card?"

I show the adventurer's proof that I have on my neck.

"Hmmm, it is rank G. It is possible to receive monster subduing requests of rank F and G, but it is a little dangerous, is it good?"

"Oh, it is okay because I have been doing subjugations before registering" [Yoji]

"I see. When you leave the Valles castle it will be on your own responsibility, you can receive requests one rank higher or lower than yours, so you can receive up to requests rank F, in which case you can accept to subjugate goblins, orcs and kobolds"

"Okay, then that please" [Yoji]

"These are with no time limit, so please bring the right ears as proof, you will receive the cash at the guild headquarters"

"I see. I have to bring the right ears" [Yoji]

"Well then, please hand over the adventurer's card so I can write an entry of the start of the subdual"

I handed the adventurer's card to the dandy receptionist-san so he can check the start of the request.

"The Valles plains are after the west gate, the plains start after you cross the wheat field"

"Okay. Then, see you later" [Yoji]

"Be careful"

I hear the voice from my back when I was leaving the guild.

The west gate is found as soon as I left the guild.

When I showed the adventurer's card to the gate's guards I could leave quickly.

Crossing the gate's bridge there is a big extension of wheat field to my right and left.

From here I start to run.

Running around 3km, the wheat field disappeared and I reached the gra.s.sy field.

"Okay, I will do my best to hunt up to 40 before afternoon" [Yoji]

With that spirit I started looking for a prey with hawk's eyes.

This Ni-chan is a way some men use to call younger boys; it is a bit rude though. Return to reading

Itadakimasu is something almost every j.a.panese say before eating, it is "Thanks for the food". Return to reading
