Chapter 417 Fate of Gungho Party and Sukiyaki Eating Laidback Team

Gumihou: haha

Hey, Fer. Shouldnt we go to the lower floors soon?

Muu

, I suppose so. We have a decent amount of meat now, but

You say that, but well never leave this floor if we keep on hunting for meat.

Fine, this is a good floor for gathering meat, but it lacks excitement.

Heh, youre right. Ou! Onwards to more excitement!

As you may have noticed, I, Mukouda, their supposed master, have no say whether to proceed or not. Im just extra luggage to them when it comes to dungeon challenge related decisions.

Shall we head for the Boss Room? I asked rhetorically.

Umu

, well hunt down as many as we can. Dora, Sui, Ill leave it to you!

Ou!

Yay~ meat~

Haha, yes, yes,

Naturally, we mow down all the Gigantic Minotaur we saw until we reach the Boss Room. Which was closed.

[8] Hm? How odd, I studied the heavy door and tried to push it open. It refused to open no matter what I did, not even with Earth Magic. Hey, do you think someones in there?

[8]

Umu

, theres that one party,

[8] Oh yeah, those guys, Dora-chan snickered.

[8] If they are in there, we have no choice but to wait for the door to open, Fer grumbled.

[8] Theres no saying how long the door will stay close after the battle is concluded either, I sighed.

Indeed, cool-down time is something rather inconvenient, but I guess it cant be helped. We already had to wait about two hours on one of the floors, who knows how long well have to wait for this one.

[8] Hmm, well, since we have to wait anyway, theres no point hanging about here. Lets keep hunting.

Umu

, lets take a break instead and come back here tomorrow.

I know I said hunting, but really, Im basically just the local litter picker. Even so, it was quite tiring picking up Drop items after my familiars, so I was happy to have a break.

Wheres the nearest safe area?

As soon as we reached the safe area, I checked my [Item Box].

Hmm, what should I make?

We dont have a lot of premade food left since it was all made before we even set out for this trip. While it is unlikely for us to meet encounter too many Adventurers from this point onwards, my familiars like to run through the dungeon as quickly as possible, which meant meal times had to be quick too.

Still, since we took a break early, I have time to make more stuff after dinner.

Everyone wants Gigantic Minotaur again, right? Should I make Sukiyaki? Well, I want to eat it, so lets go with that.

Having decided, I opened up [Net Super] and bought the necessary ingredients for a Sukiyaki, aside from the meat, of course. Lets see, scallions, Chinese cabbage, fried tofu, s.h.i.+rataki noodles and a few other stuff hmm, as for the sauce, lets go with this one. Its the one I usually use anyway.

Although it is considered red meat, Gigantic Minotaur meat does not have too much fat on it, which makes it a good candidate for Sukiyaki.

[9] After cutting the vegetables to the standard hotpot sizes, cutting the fried tofu into half and slicing up the meat, I melted some Dungeon Beef tallow on a pan. First, grill the scallions a little before pus.h.i.+ng them to the side and add the sliced Gigantic Minotaur meat. After the meat had browned a little, add the Sukiyaki sauce straight from the bottle and reduce the heat. Move the meat to the side, it should take up about half the pan, with the grilled scallions taking up 15% of the pan.

Next, add the Chinese cabbage, fried tofu and the s.h.i.+rataki noodles in the remaining s.p.a.ces. The noodles should not touch the meat, otherwise, the meat would become too hard. At least, thats what I have always been told.

Anyway, once the shallow hotpot started to boil, lower the fire.

The fragrance of soy sauce and meat filled the room, making my mouth water. Aahhh, this smell, its almost unbearably delicious

Aruji~ It smells delicious~~

Eh? Its just you, Sui?

[10]

I looked around and found the other two huddled together, evil grins on their faces.

Oi, what are you two doing there? Foods almost ready.

Umu

, coming,

Yay! Plotting makes me hungry!

Plotting? What are you two up to now?

Nothing,

Nothing,

I looked sharply at them, but they were both grinning at me, trying to look innocent. I sighed, Whatever, eat first and dont make trouble for me.

Of course not,

Wed never~

They were still grinning evilly at each other, but it was not like I have the time to interrogate them. Besides, what kind of trouble could they get into here?

I quickly served up the Sukiyaki onto bowls of rice, cracking a couple of eggs on as topping before handing them out.

Right, here you go.

Mu

, this smell is familiar.

I served it to you before. Its Sukiyaki, I think I made it with Wyvern meat last time. Minotaur meat seems like a good choice for this dish.

Ooh, I like it, especially with the raw eggs.

Its sweet and salty and creamy~~ Sui likes it~~

Umu

, its good.

Well, cant go wrong with Sukiyaki when I have good meat and good sauce at hand.

My personal Sukiyaki had a lot more rice and a lot less meat. I cracked a single egg on my portion, mixed the runny eggs in with the meat and scooped up a good mouthful of rice, meat and eggs and delish~~

Kuuh, delicious! It might be a little low-cla.s.s but I cant stop eating it!

The umami of the meat, the sweetness of the sauce and vegetables, the creaminess of the egg all on a lovely bed of rice

Oi, seconds! Eggs and meat only. No, meat only!

Hold it, Fer.

It might be delicious, but Sukiyaki meat only is a bit

Sounds awesome! I want meat only too!

Sui too~

No way, the vegetables would just go to waste if you eat like that. Ill give you less vegetables, alright?

They grumbled, but I maintained my stance.

Eat the vegetables, they are delicious too!

[As for what went on between those two earlier]

[10]

Oi, that guys looking at us,

So what? Its not like we have done anything.

Fufufu, exactly,

Hohoho,

People who challenge dungeons should be prepared for death.

People who challenge dungeons should stay on floors that match their strength.

Stupid people who decide to kill others should be prepared to be killed.

Eh, Im all for that. That why you didnt open the door?

Umu

, if they havent tried to kill our Master I could have tried using Lightning Magic on the door.

Oh? Lightning magic works?

Perhaps, according to the magic lines.

Eh, its not like we make them enter the room, hahaha!

Its not like we trap them inside either, kukuku,

Mwahahahaha~!

Oi, what are you two doing there? Foods almost ready.

[Side Character Adventurer Party~]

While Mukoudas Party was enjoying Gigantic Minotaur Sukiyaki

n.o.body said anything about this! Where are all these monsters coming from?! Its nothing like the reports! Determined Looking Female Adventurer was looking very terrified as she screamed hysterically at the room in general.

This is impossible, we have to escape! Female Elf had already run back on swift feet to the door. However, when she tried to tug and push at the door, it would not move. It wont open! Its not opening!

Put your back to it! Determined Looking Female Adventurer threw herself at the door.

Its useless! The door would not open until the fight ends, Leader shouted. He had not taken his eyes off the Gigantic Minotaurs in front of him.

There were 12 Gigantic Minotaurs in the Boss Room.

Somehow, they had already managed to destroy one Minotaur each. However, it was not without some major sacrifices.

Cold sweat was dripping off Leaders head.

If we cannot escape, our only hope is to defeat these monsters. For those who wish to leave this place alive, brace yourselves.

Gumooo!!!!

The roars of the Gigantic Minotaurs echoed in the room.

Ill kill you, Ill kill you! Large Beastman Adventurer howled as he tried to psych himself up. His hands tightened around the handle of his axe.

I wont die here! Ill clear this dungeon and take the honour and money I deserve! Slender Adventurer with the one-handed sword yelled.

Well definitely survive this. Lets do it, alright? Tamer said to the red-furred tiger.

Gauu

I dont want to die I dont want to die.. I refuse to die in a place like this Not so Determined Looking Female Adventurer muttered to herself.

.. I need to calm down. I wont die, definitely wont! Female Elf took a deep breath as she tried to work out a way to survive the situation.

Well definitely win!!!

The leader shouted.

The Adventurers and the Gigantic Minotaurs collided.

There was an explosive sound of iron clas.h.i.+ng against iron, the howls of the monsters mingling with the screams of the Adventurers.

Finally

Within the centre of the Boss Room, only four Gigantic Minotaurs remained standing.

[Gumihou: Yeah, Gumi totally adjusted the ending.]

[1] Structural Change: Combine 2 paragraphs

[2] Structural Change: Combine 3 paragraphs

[3] Structural Change: Combine paragraph & dialogue

[4] Structural Change: Change pa.s.sive sentence to dialogue

[5] Delete Repet.i.tive or Pointless Information starting to delete pointless scenes now

[6] Additional Information for Aesthetic Purpose

[7] Add Dialogue Tag

[8] Creative Licence Taken Rather long and rather meandering talk that showed a lot of oddly unnecessary incompetence

[9] Adjusted the cooking method to something that made sense.

[10] The Conspiring Duo scene is a little absurd, but will try to make it make sense.

It was originally done as Fer & Dora-chan speaking to each other via telepathy after Fer said, Oi, oi, hes looking over here and proceeded to outline every single detail of what they did before patching back to Mukoudas point of view.

I decided to just do the scene from Mukoudas point of view first before cutting it to an aside scene.
