The Hero and Meat

Maybe two billion three hundred million yen is too much after all?

I thought that while collecting the chips and dice placed on top of the table, but I decided it was fine after all when I saw the table hed destroyed.

Its troublesome even using [Create Golem] to mend it, it has decoration, and its strength is a problem too.

However, that means Kehma-san thinks of her as a comrade, so why did you name her [Meat]?

Hero Wataru asked with a curious look.

It was at her own request. It was the name shed had when I picked her up.

But even so, that name has such an obscene meaning

Nn? At worst doesnt it just mean [Meat Shield] or [Meat Wall]? Thats what I was told at least.

When I said that, the hero struck his palm with a fist, making a small clap sound.

Aaah I see, I thought something was off. Thats normally for male adventurers. This child, since shes so small, its seen as an absolutely different meaning you know? Well, the slang is really different depending on the region though

Fumu? That so?

Then I want to confirm, what does [Meat] mean?

Goshujin-sama, [Meat] means tool. Mainly as wall or shield.

Meat answered even though I asked the hero. Yep, Ill ask Ichika later too.

Ah, umm even though thats not wrong But thats when its applied to men, for women its usually

Wa! Wa! You hero! If you, to Goshujin-sama! Ill be your opponent!

Meat with the interception! The hero is shot down! Hey, oi!

Meat? Could you quiet down for a moment?

Meat slumped forward, looking as though she lost her energy.

Its the first time Ive heard Meat use that loud of a voice. In other words, Meat knows the meaning that the hero is trying to say. And that it looks like she doesnt want me to know it.

Hey perhaps, is the meaning really bad?

Its not a mistake to say it means tool either. However, with a sexual meaning attached to it.

I looked at Meat.

As for her, she was showing her usual expression, but her complexion had reddened, and while tearing up, trembled as though she were ashamed.

Why did you want to keep the name if it was that shameful!?

So, that meaning is generally the most famous. Of course, the sexual meaning.

Oi, Meat?

This time, Meat trembled with a start, paling.

Meat, go to my room with Ichika. We have some talking to do.

Y-yes.

Meat seemed to be considerably afraid with her ears and tail lacking any energy as she went to get Ichika.

Seeing it all happen, the hero asked me timidly.

Umm, what are you planning on doing?

Ill definitely scold them. And have them write written apologies, and punish them.

Ah, thats really gentle. Im relieved you didnt say something like youd kill or sell them.

Theres no way I could do something like that. Meat and Ichika are both indispensable existences for the dungeon.

Well, I should probably make their punishment more or less severe, but I dont want to interfere with their schedules.

Yeah. And maybe you should give her a new name.

Maybe.

Though I said that, its a name that she persisted in keeping the meaning of from me, her Goshujin-sama. I dont know why she would want to, but she likes it. Its troublesome for me to change Meats name at this point too, but I dont intend to use her as a [Sex Tool] either

Aaah its already getting annoying. Maybe I could give her a proper family name? Then I could just call her with that in front of people.

For now, I have the hero owing me the huge debt of twenty-three hundred gold coins. Me being Japanese? I kept avoiding his suspicions and successfully left the heros room.

For that broken table, lets have a maid golem move it later. Maybe Ill give it to Kinue-san?

Then, when I returned to my room, there were two people below my line of sight. Yep, Meat and Ichika were dogezaing.

The two are doing beautiful dogezas.

S-sorry, Goshujin-sama

Im soooo sooooorry~~~~!!!

Alright, how about you guys raise your heads? For now lets hear why you guys did something like that.

Even when I said that, Meat kept her head down. It couldnt be helped so I decided to hear about it from Ichika, who raised her head while desperately forcing a smile.

Well its~, un. I knew [Meat]s meanin. I knew it. But, its a bad meanin to say. Hey, you wanna make a woman say somethin like that? Its embarrassin yah? Umm, I was also called [Meat] where I was before~

However, couldnt you have pointed it out?

I mean I thought Goshujin-sama wouldve guessed it yknow? Hey, ya bring Meat-senpai in every day I thought ya definitely wouldve known the meanin.

Uu, thats my bad. Im just using her as a hug pillow, but I definitely bring her into my room.

After that, Meat looked up timidly and answered.

Goshujin-sama definitely hasnt made a mistake. Thats why, Ill do my best as Meat, and

Then why did you try to keep the hero from telling me what [Meat] means?

Huh? W-why?

Meat answered it with that; it looked like she seriously didnt know.

It looks like even she doesnt know why she didnt want him to. It feels like a child lying to cover up their mistake.

Wait I forgot since shes able to do just about everything, but Meat is still a child.

Aah, right. Its probably that, a beastkins instincts. Beastkin value their names a lot, she mayve thought itd be bad if he said somethin. And that yad throw her away if it got exposed, so her body moved immediately, or somethin?

Ah, so that was the reason.

With Ichikas explanation, I agreed.

I didnt intend to be hostile about it, so its probably fine. Id go into shock if she bore a grudge against me because of this. I dont have the courage to use someone with that as a hug pillow.

First of all, I dont plan on abandoning you. Keep working hard, the same as always.

When I said that while stroking Meats head, she looked a little relived.

Its alright. After all, Im human. I dont know what I dont know, I can make mistakes too. Say something if you notice. Alright?

Yes.

Got it. Then next time Ill say it without holdin it back.

Then Ill forgive it this time Im still punishing you both though.

Its that. Compulsory loose socks OR knee-highs should be fine. Of course, those socks will be prohibited from having [Cleanup] used on them for two, no three days. Furthermore, loafers while theyre working. Lets let them use sneakers when theyre doing physical training.

Kukuku, this is a tremendous punishment if I do say so myself. Only fellow comrades (foot fetishists) will understand how tremendous it is though.

And well for around a month, compulsory stepping massages and a ban on gambling. And the quality of their meals will drop to this worlds standard, that should work.
