Chapter 380: Nothing Happened. Yeah, Thats Right.

Oi, isnt todays breakfast too shoddy?

Is this it?

Sad

[5] I blinked, todays breakfast was premade Soboro Bowl with plenty of minced meat on top.

However, I had forgotten to include some extra toppings, so everyone looked like they were eating brown kibbles or something. It certainly did not look appetising.

Even after realising this, it took me a moment to respond. Reading Kazukis diary was really tiring in all sense of the word.

Ah, no, that is, I was wondering what to put on top and decided to just let you choose. So, onsen egg, raw egg yolk or sesame seeds, which do you like?

A reasonable sounding excuse crawled out of my mouth somehow. [5]

Really? [3] Fer looked at me with suspicious eyes.

I-its true. Well, rather than that, what do you guys want?

Humph, very well, I want the usual soft eggs with firm cooked yolks,

Oh, Hot Spring Eggs are pretty mysterious that way, right? Good choice. What about Dora-chan and Sui?

Ill have the same thing as Fer, said Dora-chan.

Sui too~~ and the nice smelling grains too~~

Right, Hot Spring Eggs for everyone and some toasted sesame seeds for Sui.

I bought the eggs off [Net Super], its too late to make my own now, and scattered some sesame seeds over Suis portion.

Finally, while everyone was busy eating, I warmed a [9] retort pouch of Chinese food as I stared into s.p.a.ce again. After staying up all night and getting metaphorically sucker-punched in the guts multiple times, I needed something light.

Haahhh Im a bit lost over what to do with the information I had just received.

What kind of torture is this? Having to shout the names of someone elses wives just to get around.

What is this stupid system?

Stupid Kazuki.

Moreover, that Kazuki punk also wrote:

If youre a worthy person deserving of this item, you can probably use it.

Probably?

If I read this right, the Teleportation Tool would take the user to Demon Lands, Isle of Giants or deeply hidden magical wood. In fact, it would probably land me somewhere filled with monsters, like a dungeon or a forest filled with high-ranking monsters.

Technically, if I were to say [Teleport] in j.a.panese it would take me to the last location that this Teleportation Tool had been. Still, who knows what kind of place that would be?

[6] While the incantation is somewhat acceptable, the fact that I have no control over where I would be landing is definitely not a plus point.

Also, why would I want to go to another continent, anyway? Especially since I havent even visited a third of the countries here.

I would much prefer to visit the Kingdom of Elman or its neighbour, the Kingdom of Leonhart.

There was absolutely no reason to travel to another continent.

Thats right, its only natural.

Yes.

Ahahaha.

Moreover, that tablet was in terrible shape. After all, it was dumped under a pile of stuff. It was one of the things the Bandit King has in his treasure hall. He probably got it because it was an important-looking magical tool, but never knew what it was for.

Anyway, since it had been so badly treated, it is probably close to useless or problematic now. If thats the case, I should just put it somewhere out of sight and let it slowly trickle out of my mind.

If Fer or any of the others knew about it, Fer especially, hed probably say something like Lets go to the Demon Lands and fight them!.

There, Ive decided.

We never found any weird thing like a Teleportation Tool.

No diaries filled [6] with a j.a.panese mans boast about marrying three wives.

Nope.

[6] Never.

Oi, what are you doing there talking to yourself?

Eh? Wh-what? I wasnt doing anything of the sort.

Youve been standing there s.p.a.cing out. Ive been calling you for a while now.

[6] Oh, er, let me guess. You want your seconds?

Yup! Seconds!

Sui wants seconds too~~

[5] Right, right, coming up!

While I was busy filling up their bowls with rice and minced meat, as well as various toppings, Fer unexpectedly asked, Oi, are you sure youre alright? You were up really late last night.

Oh, fine, fine, I just couldnt sleep for some reason.

The reason being that playboy Kazukis stupid [6] adventure stories with his stupid wives and their heaving bosoms.

Whatever, lets forget about it. [5]

Ill rest properly once we get back to Carelina, so Ill be depending on you, alright?

Lets go home and sleep on a nice fluffy bed.

Please read this at dot com~

Oh, I can see it!

Finally, the nostalgic line of Carelina came to view.

The rest of our journey after the Bandit King Mountain, courtesy of Demiurgos-samas oracle, was thankfully devoid of drama.

Thanks to Fer, we arrived faster than antic.i.p.ated.

At the gate, I showed the guards my S Rank card and we pa.s.sed through into the city properly. [1] Looks like the guards were used to seeing Fer and Dora-chan by now, there was no big fuss or anything.

After entering the city, Fer bounded towards our mansion.

[9] A real mansion mansion. Not a luxury apartment mansion like the ones in j.a.pan. Hah, back in my previous life, I could not even afford the rent for one of those, but now I own a real, European style holiday getaway mansion filled with nice things and servants to take care of it.

At the entrance, Bartel and Peter waved at us.

He~ey!

h.e.l.lo, Bartel, good to see you again. Did anything happen while I was away?

Welcome back. Nah, it was totally peaceful. Teaching was hard though, but its fine overall.

Ah, that sounds wonderful.

Looks like everyone kept busy and improved themselves while I was away. Thats great.

Costi and Tabasa are very enthusiastic about learning, but those stupid twins

[8] Oh? Tabasa too? I thought she already knew how to read, I said.

[8] Oh, she can up to a point, but she wants to improve and learn more words, said Bartel cheerfully. Then, he sighed the sigh of a disappointed teacher, Unlike those twins

Haha, from their brash and lively behaviour, [8] Id be more surprised if they turned out to be good at studying.

Gahaha! True! Peter here though, is a real hard worker.

[8] Math is hard, said Peter shyly. But learning words is not too bad. Writing is very hard, I have to practice a lot. [5]

I see, good job! Anyway, Ive brought souvenirs for everybody. Lets have a banquet tonight. You two come with us.

Eh? What about the gate? asked Bartel.

Haha, Fers here, if they are stupid enough to dare come in, well, it would be the last thing they do.

Bartel and Peter looked at Fer, before nodding enthusiastically.

[8] Yup,

[8] I wonder if anyone would be that stupid

Anyway, lets go. Ive collected all kinds of meat from the Meat Dungeon and bought loads of stuff from the food stalls there too.

Mu, skewered meat is delicious.

[6] Fer, youre drooling.

Yaho! Hurrah for [Item Boxes]!! Dora-chan zoomed above us, doing loops.

Sui wants skewered meat too~~

Right, tonights dinner theme would be food from stalls, I said as I walked down the cobblestone path to my house. [10] Ahem, my incredibly large house in a land so vast that theres an actual path from the gate to a free-standing mansion house.

Big Brother Mukouda! Welcome home! [3] Lotte-chan cried as she ran up to me. [5]

Mukouda-sama is back! [6] cried the gardeners.

Im gonna tell mom! Lotte-chan cried, running off again.

Tell everyone well be having a banquet tonight, I called after her. Lots of meat souvenirs!

Yay!! Meat! Meat! Meat!

Yep, Im finally home.

[Gumihou: Adjusted the ending so that its a series of welcome back and less of tell everyone I brought meat. Also, whats the deal with Lotte running back to the house to call people? Where are the gardeners?]
