Unwanted in Isekai Chapter 13. After Hunting

 

 

「 Kaaaaah! Now that soaks in your tired body! 」

I voiced out from the bottom of my heart as my body sinks down into the bathtub.

That’s the worst fatigue I had for years, and so my body’s melting in the hot water.

「 Euphy, come here. You’re getting cold 」

「 O-Okay 」

Euphy who scrubbed me then cleansed herself, comes into the bathtub, looking a little nervous.

I thought we had grown much closer since I revealed my identity, but when it comes to getting naked and touching, she’s still stiff in embarrassment and fear.

Well, that doesn’t mean that I’ll hold back.

She showed me her beautiful back and sat on top of me, I hugged her from behind.

「 Man… This heals me twice as much. Euphy’s entrance must’ve changed it to sacred water 」

「 That’s not the… U-Uhm, your hand…it’s touching… 」

My right hand is grabbing both her breasts and my left hand is at the base of her legs, that’s why she’s looking a bit agitated.

「 I just put it there because it fits. Don’t mind it. I mean, get used to it 」

「 Uuu, I understand 」

Hmm, she’s a good girl who doesn’t go against her lord.

Even so, having a bath with a beauty is a healing experience.

It’s healing me so much that my lower half has regained life.

I kissed Euphy lightly on the nape of her neck and calmly speak to her ears because if I didn’t, I know that it’ll grow bigger.

「 I’m going to start asking questions again, can you teach me? 」

「 Hahiii…W-What is it? 」

「 About skills, is there a skill that can do the dismantling on its own? 」

「 Hmm, I think I never heard of any skill like that 」

「 I see. I thought that would be convenient 」

Cutting goblin ears and taking out wolf guts and skinning them was a lot of hard work. It was Euphy who did most of the work with her sword dexterity, but it was hard even for me as a helper, and I wish I had a skill for that.

「 We hunted monsters in the army, and I believe we stored them using a magic tool and took them home, then we leave the dismantling to people whose jobs were to do it. I suspect the adventurers do the same 」

「 That means…that there’s a tool to carry all those wolves? 」

「 That’s right. It won’t even need some intermediate-rank magic tool for that amount. If we can store it, then the weight we only need to carry is the magic tool, making it easier

「 Haa, what’s that. I want it. But, that’s expensive, right? 」

「 Indeed. It costs several dozen gold coins in Mugdam. The gold coins are almost equal in value so I think it’s about the same in this country 」

「 I knew it, it’ll cost a lot. It’s normal for how convenient that is 」

I was excited to see a super convenient item, but it seems that I can’t get my hands on it so easily.

「 Speaking of which, why doesn’t the country just send soldiers to take down those goblins and wolves? 」

「 Let’s see, in our territory, we regularly send soldiers to patrol the streets and neighborhoods of towns to take down bandits and monsters, but even so, it’s hard to take out the small packs that are sensitive to their presence as they quickly flee. Therefore, we request the guilds to take down the monsters we missed. Adventurers who act on a small scale are better suited to dealing with smaller numbers. Soldiers have other jobs, such as maintaining the security of the city and guarding the castle 」

As expected of a former noble daughter.

She has a good understanding of how the world works.

Oh well, she’s right about it.

I can’t comprehend why a country would not want to maintain its security.

「 I see. Giving them orders means that the guild is run by the state? 」

「 Yes, it’s the same in this country 」

In a country where the king is in power, how can an armed organization not under his rule set up buildings in the streets?

「 Next, do you know how much skill orbs cost? 」

「 You can buy something with a skill value for as little as five silver coins unless it’s rare 」

「 I see. So it was cheap. I thought they were worth a little more 」

「 Skill orbs are scarce, but skills with only 1 level won’t have that many uses 」

「 Oh right, you cried back then 」

「 It would be weirder if I didn’t 」

Euphy who’s showing her side to me puffed her cheeks and showed her sulky face for the first time.

Cute.

I would’ve liked to hear more, but now my body’s warm, and my tired mind is soothed, it’s time to eat.

I went downstairs and let myself be guided by the manager to the seat.

Euphy sits right in front of me like normal.

Seems like they don’t force slaves to eat on the floor.

After a short wait, a thick steak meat, and bread were brought to the table.

「 Hmm? That’s a surprise. Are they using fresh meat? I haven’t tasted meat like this in a long time! It’s so delicious! Thank you Daiki-sama for giving me, a slave, something like this 」

「 I’m happy if Euphy’s pleased with it. But, you don’t have to thank me every time for that 」

She’s smiling and chewing on the steak meat that’s called a bicorned cow, but I’m not that pleased.

Well, it’s delicious, yes.

The taste is basically beef, as the name implies.

It’s got a slightly distinctive odor, but the herb counteracts it with a nice flavor, and the moderate firmness makes it a full meal that fills your belly.

But, honestly, my impression is more like this:

This feels like something I could make myself if I went to a local supermarket.

I’ve been thinking that the wagyu beef I had at a teppanyaki restaurant I went through with my colleague was many times better than this one.

I even paid an extra silver coin for Euphy and I thought that this was an expensive place to stay in terms of market price, so I wonder…

No, I’m not comparing red meat to marbled ones.

Returning to my room and sitting on the bed, Euphy sat next to me, who was having trouble looking for a place to sit.

「 We’ll start by securing an inn tomorrow. After that, I’d like to go to one of the places that sell skill orbs 」

「 Yes, I understand… 」

「 At this rate, we might be able to buy one a day, but today’s results from herb collecting turned to hunt. I don’t think we’ll earn the same amount, so it’ll be like one every few days 」

「 It’s great if we could hunt beasts and monsters tomorrow 」

「 Well yeah, but, Euphy’s the only fighter…it’s hard to make it work 」

「 I don’t mind. Leave it to me 」

「 You want to be the only fighter? 」

「 N-No 」

She shook her head, denying it, but that impatient look on her face meant that I was right.

「 Oh well. Let’s head to the forest again tomorrow. We’re basically gathering, but we’ll adapt to the situation 」

「 I’ll do my best! 」

「 So which is it? Your enthusiasm worries me… 」

Just how eager are you to go out and fight now that you have the power?

She must be a muscle-brain.

「 So, I’m going to make it my policy to get skill orbs first, the rest is to stabilize our livelihoods here 」

「 Yes, I’ll do my best to help Daiki-sama! 」

Euphy’s face firmed up and she looked with such determination even though I thought that what I said were some low int lines.

The fright she had until I had shown my true self to her is gone, and I’m getting a feeling of trust, or more like some longing.

But, if you make such a passionate look with your cute face, I won’t be able to resist it you know?

I embraced her and then said.

「 Then, I’ll have to ask Euphy who wants to help me, to go along with training so I won’t get into trouble when I get the skill orb, okay? 」

「 Ah… Y-Yes… I’ll do my best… 」

Perhaps sensing the change in the atmosphere, her serious face turned bright red as I push Euphy down the bed.
