Chapter 31: CH 31

「Hey, wait. When was there such a rule… Actually, I know what you mean now. It’s not just stripping off your clothing, it’s… tch. You’re too young to know what that rule means, but anyways, it’s not what you think!」

Well, I knew exactly what the rule meant. The only one who didn’t understand was Kirika-chan, yes.

Still, that diffused the situation for me.

「Anyways, my bad. Guess I should follow the dungeon rule.」

Rofas-san then went into a room to change. That’s proper conduct, yes.

I relaxed once the danger was gone from my eyes.

「The food looks good today too.」

Once everybody gathered around the dining table, we began eating.

Ah, I was the only one who put my hands together though. 

(TL: When people do “itadakimasu” you clap your hands together)

「Rofas-san, Bryce-oniichan, you can’t eat.」

The two of them had extended their forks towards the food, but Kirika-chan stopped them.

「Ahh, it’s because they didn’t clear the requirements to be allowed to eat.」

Kurtz-kun tapped his fist onto the palm of his other hand.

「W-what?」

Rofas-san went pale.

「You’re telling me I’m not allowed to have any of this delicious food in front of me? How can that be…」

「You can’t eat if you don’t help with the cooking. Dungeon rule says we have to help each other!」

As soon as Kirika-chan said the dungeon rule, Rofas-san slammed his forehead against the table.

「Ugh!!!」

Even if he cried out loud…

But still, the dungeon rules sure were strict.

「But Bryce-niichan helped us get this meat, so it should be okay if he eats, right?」

Kurtz-kun asked. Rofas-san rushed out of the hut once he heard that.

Huh? Where was he going?

Rofas-san returned within two minutes, out of breath.

「F-for… dinner… you can use these…」

His eyes had become bloodshot.

In his hands were three blood-dripping mountain birds.

There were a lot of things I wanted to say, like…

How did you catch three mountain birds in only two minutes?!

Your bloodshot eyes are scary!

But at the very least, I had to tell him this:

「You’re getting the floor dirty! Go outside!」

And do something about all the blood dripping from the birds!

Making things dirty was simple, but cleaning it up was a lot of trouble! That was why housewives abide to the law of staying as clean as possible!

I pointed at the door a bit angrily, and Rofas-san walked back outside with a dejected look on his face.

「Yuuri-san, it’s okay.」

Bryce-kun chanted【Purification: Remove all stains on the floor】several times, and his spells made the floor sparkling clean.

「A-amazing! Bryce-kun, you’re great!」

Bryce-kun had a bright smile after I openly praised him.

Magic was so cool! I have to learn how to use it!

「Hey, can we eat yet?」

I calmed down my excitement after hearing Kurtz-kun.

That’s right. We should have eaten before the food got cold, but it was too late… But it was okay, since the rice was still warm.

「Rofas-san, please hurry. We’re going to start eating.」

I went outside and said.

「Eh? I can eat?」

The gleam in Rofas-san’s eyes returned.

「Rofas-san, you helped us polish the rice, so it’s fine.」

「O-oh! That’s right, I helped turn the bad wheat into the white grains! You hear that, Kirika? I helped out too!」

Rofas-san got to the table with a big grin on his face.

「If you want to help, then please supply a fire magic stone to be used for cooking. Everyone is doing it.」

「O-oh, a fire magic stone? I’ll supply a hundred, even two hundred!」

I didn’t need that many.

「Today’s meal is thinly sliced grilled meat, huh?」

Rofas-san quickly stuffed himself with some pork (actually boar) shogayaki.

「Uwah!! It’s great! The flavor goes so well with the bad wheat. I think I’m going to get addicted!」

Yes, it was quite good.

I ate the pork and onion while having rice in between bites.

Mm, it was good.

Eating shogayaki together with rice was the best! That was why I made it have a strong flavor.

Ah, that was not exactly accurate. The shogayaki was delicious together with the shredded cabbage too. I quickly changed over to the healthy shogayaki combination.

……

In any case, it was hard to eat the shogayaki with shredded cabbage using a fork…

I wanted chopsticks really badly!

Unn… I held back my urge to run to the forest right now to grab two branches.

It was rude to suddenly leave one’s seat during a meal.

「Ahh, I can feel my body getting replenished today too. My stamina must be recovering… Status open.」

Rofas-san checked his status.

「Potion dishes are really great, huh? My HP is recovering quickly. Hey, if we keep doing this, wouldn’t we be able to level up really quickly?」

Rofas-san said. Bryce-kun frowned at him.

「By “this”, are you talking about me rapid fire magic spells at you so that I could supposedly train my magic? Aren’t you just using me to raise your magic resistance?」

Eh? Was that what they were doing outside?

「No no, isn’t it good practice for you, Bryce? If you keep using your magic over and over, you’ll be able to predict your opponent’s movements when you fire your magic. How about another round after we eat?」

Rofas-san asked with a big smile.

I could hear from his voice things like, this is fun, I’m so happy, I love training, I can level up, muscles, muscles.

「Unfortunately, my MP is almost completely out. At least Yuuri-san’s cooking can recover your HP, Rofas-san.」

Bryce-kun made a cold comment towards Rofas-san, but Rofas-san continued smiling.

「Oh, in that case, here!」

Rofas-san took out a small bottle from his waist pouch.

「Isn’t this a high-grade MP potion? What are you plotting?」

Bryce-kun did a cold glance at Rofas-san. 

「I’m not plotting anything. Now drink up, then we can do another practice match.」

「Rofas-san, do you see me as an adult? I still have the body of a child, you know. What are you going to do if I pass out from drinking a high-grade potion?」

The body of a child…

Huh? Did Rofas-san know about Bryce-kun’s actual age?

Wait, no, that wasn’t the problem. Didn’t we have a conversation about the amount of potions that a child was allowed to drink?

Like caffeine, an adult’s medication would be too strong for children to consume, so maybe potions were similar. For example, potion grades were separated in a similar way to how medication was portioned depending on your weight.

Right.

For children, the amount of medication they could take increased along with their weight.

Huh? If that was the case, then wouldn’t it be dangerous if I drank a high-grade potion? I was an adult, but I was physically tiny. I should be careful.
