Vol 9 Chapter 288

(288) Cow secure!

Translator: Tseirp

I said I would think about it but after that, I didn’t find any monsters worth mentioning .

Nevertheless, perhaps thanks to the 400x experience points blessing, adding up just small number of monsters was enough to raise my levels .

In summary,

【Ichinojo leveled up】

【Dark Magician skill: 「Magic Defense Strengthening (Lord)」has skilled up to「Magic Defense Strengthening (King)」】

【Light Magician skill: 「Magic Defense Strengthening (King)」has skilled up to「Magic Defense Strengthening (Emperor)」】

【Samurai skill: 「Iron cutting」acquired】

【Job: Samurai General is now available】

【Outdoor Chef: Preservation acquired】

【Outdoor Chef: Disinfection acquired】

Using Preservation would make food rot less easily but I have an item bag so it was meaningless . Disinfection was a lower tier of Clean so it was not needed either .

Well, Preservation would be convenient if I wish to sell food so I might have a chance to use it .

Job, Samurai General huh … I have very little information on jobs at the moment .

And then ― earlier than scheduled, on the third day evening .

“I see it! That is Goats Rocky!”

Kikkori voiced out .

I knew since I was checking the surrounding occasionally with Hawk-Eye but it was a joy seeing with my naked eye as well .

It has been a long time since I’ve seen a large town surrounded by a wall . Well, it was a city-state after all .

” … Hn? Are they moving house?”

In a group that seemed like a large family, there were three Sugyu pulling respective carts . The carts were laden with sets of household goods but it seemed that they were having difficulty moving .

“That’s unreasonable . Sugyu meat and milk are delicious but they are not meant for pulling carts . They migrate in search of water but that is their nature and it is difficult to make them move according to orders . They probably gave up . ”

“Ooo, I see . ”

I guess there were different kinds of cows too .

So Sugyu meat and milk are both delicious .

I wonder if it is sold anywhere? I really want to keep a few as livestock in My World .

It would have been good if I caught two or three of those from the herd a while back .

Moving was a ha.s.sle but there was nothing I could do so I sent them off with a sideward glance and continued toward Goats Rocky .

What was probably the last trouble was waiting for us there .

In short, we couldn’t enter .

The cow was too big .

It wasn’t an issue with the size of the door . Letting such a huge cow enter the town would purely cause unease within the residents .

Thankfully, the delivery of the frozen dragon was complete the moment we pa.s.sed it over to the soldiers at the town entrance .

We received 200 silver coins or 20000 Sense as reward .

We split it equally among the four of us so each of us received 5000 Sense .

That was supposed to be the case .

“Hey, what’s this? Goat’s bill?”

We received a bundle of bills .

Insep looked at the bills suspiciously .

“Insep, you don’t know? These are Goat’s bill, the currency used by this country . The rewards we receive from jobs come in the form of these bills too . Of course, it is possible to exchange it in the town’s exchange . Incidentally, 100 Goats equals to 1 Sense so 5000 Sense will be 50000 Goats . ”

“50000!? Wow, I suddenly feel like a rich man . ”

Insep joyfully looked at the paper bills just after listening to the amount .

As a j.a.panese, I was also a little excited to see the 50-odd paper bills .

Well, I have to keep in mind to exchange the bills when I leave this country .

“Fuu, the request is done … but what do we do with this cow?”

“Do you want to roast it?”

“—This cow isn’t among the group of good-tasting cows . ”

… That’s right!

“Hey, as a reward for defeating the Roc bird, can I have this metal cart and cow?”

“Ha? Did you not hear me, Ichinojo-san . This cow is not tasty … ah! you saved the Roc bird meat as well, Ichinojo-san, you are a man with strange taste!”

“No no, that’s not the reason why . ”

Rather, I don’t wish to eat its meat .

“I’ve enjoyed these few days . I have some business to attend to so I’ll be taking my leave now . ”

“So soon!? Ah, I see, so it’s for that . Sheesh, you’re such a good person, brother . Yeah, I don’t mind if you take the cow and cart . If anything happens, contact us through the mercenary guild — well, we will be drinking in this town for some time so drop by if anything happens . ”

“Yeah, I’ll do that . ”

I thanked them and pulled the huge cow Us.h.i.+ and cart back the way we came from .

I quickly chased up to the large family that I was looking for .

“Oi~!”

“Hn? What is it?”

“You’re moving, right? You won’t reach your destination anytime soon by relying on Sugyu . Use this cow instead!”

” … Sorry but we don’t have money . ”

“I don’t need money . This cart should be able to hold the luggage from all three of your carts?”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, in exchange, could I have those Sugyu? At this rate, you’re probably planning to leave them here, right? Of course, I will pay you . ”

“N-no! You don’t need to! With such a large cow and cart, I can start a different business even if I return to the countryside! Moreover, just like you guessed, at this rate I would have no choice but to kill these Sugyu . Although they are monsters but they have been with me all this time so I treat them as family and can’t bear to kill them . ”

“All right, the deal is settled then!”

“Yeah, I’m really thankful . Be at ease, these Sugyu do not suffer from any diseases . ”

Disease? I didn’t really understand but he probably meant that they were healthy .

I helped with the transfer of the luggage to the metal cart .

“Now, Us.h.i.+ . Although you tried to attack me, I hope you have an enjoyable journey . ”

I gently stroked Us.h.i.+’s chin and said my goodbye .

Then, I received three Sugyu in exchange and saw the large family off .

“Fuu, I’m finally back . ”

I returned to My World bringing the three Sugyu with me .

My own home is the best after all .

Just as I thought to myself, Neete came to greet me while wearing a maid uniform .

“Welcome home, Master! Did you change job from Jobless to Cowkeeper?”

“I did not . Is there actually a job called Cowkeeper?”

“Shall I make them into steaks? For sukiyaki? Or me‧at‧st‧ew?” (TL: Her sentence is a play with the stereotypical maid phrase: Do you want to have dinner? bath? Or me?)

“I’m not eating them — well, I am going to eat them eventually but I plan to keep them as livestock here . ”

After I said that, suddenly Pionia in a nurse attire appeared — nurses no longer wear nurse caps nowadays, I retorted in my head — and started examining the Sugyu .

Pionia’s cosplay repertoire was seriously large . It was all the more surprising given her hikikomori personality .

“No disease infection detected . Master, please give permission to create a barn and marsh that Sugyu likes . ”

“Ah, sure . ”

“Then, please prepare some aquatic seeds . ”

“All right … It feels troublesome to go out to gather them so maybe I’ll put in a request at the Adventurers Guild . For now, please let them eat the vegetables we have been growing . ”

“Understood . ”

We headed to the pasture for Fuyun .

New cows would be devastating his territory soon but Fuyun only drank water gracefully without any particular concern .

The Sugyu walked toward the nearby spring instead of going for the gra.s.s .

“Pionia, have anything changed while I was not around?”

“Wh-why don’t you ask me, master?”

Neete asked with a sidelong glance but Pionia with her secretary-like tone was the better person for a report .

“I have three matters to report . ”

“Please tell me in sequence . ”

“First, the black chicken that master prepared have laid 50 eggs in total . Among them, there were 8 that were non-inseminated and have already been consumed . We plan to allow the remaining 42 inseminated eggs to hatch and become the second generation of chickens . ”

“50? They laid so many?”

“Because I fed them the best feed . ”

“Hoo, good job, Neete . ”

“Ou! They pecked at my prided ponytail countless times though . ”

“Are you all right then?”

“Master, look at my status! I am unbeatable! If you want to defeat me, you’ll have to bring a rocket launcher … ah, but I’ll probably die if master uses Boost Ancient Nova . ”

Relax, I don’t plan to use such a spell .

” … Well, that’s quite an extraordinary magic after all . I don’t want to use it if possible . ”

“I agree, if you can spare magic to use it then I would prefer if you replenish our magical power instead . ”

“Agreed . I request for magical power replenishment . It is possible for the Dark-Elves to provide magical power but it tastes completely different . This ties into the second report, I do not have enough magical power for the renovation of My World . Master, please replenish my magical power . ”

“Ah, all right . Do you want the replenishment through a ma.s.sage?”

“No, in order for an efficient magical power transfer, I would like master to convert your magical power into body fluids for my replenishment . ”

“Wha! Body fluids? What do you plan to do!?”

Don’t tell me this Pionia wants to do something strange to me .
