Chapter 28 The meat had a slightly unique, milky smell, but it was incredibly tender and seasoned with a wild, primal flavor. I devoured five bone-in steaks, then downed a fizzy, spicy, and slightly bitter drink — not alcoholic, but still satisfying. After devouring that well-matched combination, I followed it up with three sandwiches. Damn, […]
Chapter 27 Melt and her group safely returned to the General Guild. However, the atmosphere was completely different from when they had left. People hurried about in a frenzy, and the air was filled with tension, urgency, and shouted orders. It was a scene one might call a battlefield—or even a living hell. “W-What the
Chapter 26 “Noisy.” Swinging the greatsword in a full-body spin, I unleashed a sweeping attack that cut through everything in a full 360 degrees. As a result, all the monsters that had just begun to go berserk— “…So, what exactly was ‘unexpected’?” —lay submerged in pools of blood. Aside from the man standing amidst the
Chapter 25 “Around here, huh… It’s my first time going further upstream than the cave.” To fulfill a request posted by the Adventurers’ Guild—a request that seemed to be a kind of test—I was heading upstream, following the river toward the summit of the mountain, where sightings of a “mysterious, giant monster” had recently been
Chapter 24 “What’s a party?” At the Adventurer’s Guild. Melt had been invited by the trio of rookie adventurers, but she didn’t know what a “party” actually was. “Wait, you don’t even know that…?

No complaints, right?” “Senpai, maybe we should check on this later. Hey, you, you know we can verify your claims instantly, even if you
Chapter 22 “I’m truly sorry, but the truth is… we originally belonged to a certain traveling troupe. This whole time, we’ve been testing whether Melt should be added to the group. However, Same, who was conducting the test, has been summoned by the main unit and had to leave the city. As a replacement, I
Chapter 21 “I see… it looks like we can order tea and pastries.” After arriving at the salon, we first checked to see if food was available. At the entrance to a floor with scattered table seating, we discovered that you could indeed place orders. From what I could tell, staff members would later deliver
Chapter 20 “Hey, why are you closing your eyes? Did the soap get into your eyes?” “This is called shampoo. The reason I’m closing my eyes is… to protect the dignity, common sense, and the last pride I have within me. Sorry, please escort me to the bathtub.” A public bathhouse. I came early this
Chapter 19 “Yes, it really is such short notice… I’m sorry. There’s no need to refund the payment—when the new girl arrives, I’ll have her pay again. Please take care of her.” “It’s fine, really. Same already paid for a whole month. If the replacement girl uses the room, that’s no problem at all.” “Really?
