《Furthest Town》
「Aahh-, I’ve finally arriveeeed-. For now, let’s eat~!」
ă€Œăƒ»ăƒ»ăƒ»ă€
「Ara? You ain’t gonna eat? Food?」
「
 Itadakimasu.」 [TN: I haven’t seen a direct translation for this phrase, cause it’s an expression of gratitude for food.]
Ah, she’s eating.
Rather, what do spirits eat?
After she transforms into a dragon then
 Maybe humans?
「What is it
 What’s with that look of contempt

?」
「Ah, it’s nothing, I thought that maybe we should go to a slave market, is all.」[TN: Fuuu
 I almost put “I thought you wanna BDSM” XD]
「I do not eat humans.」
「Right~」
We were in the middle of town and facing  a『Taotao hanten.』 [ TN: This is a Chinese restaurant along the way like those ramen places]
‘Cause of the delicious smells that permeate the air, whenever I come here I’ll always eat at 『Taotao hanten,』this is what I swore in my heart.
「Konchyassu.」 [TN: Konnichiwa but an informal greetings to places like this.]
「Haaiâ™Ș Welcome are-â™Ș Chief! For 2 people areyo-!」
It’s the poster girl from Tao.
There’s no one more suited for Chinese styled clothes than her, right~.
Especially with that large bosom that’s lasciviously bold and organically arranged, ah~ ain’t china clothes dangerous.
Half of the crowd’s gazes are directed towards that bosom, right~.
Well, it’s different for me, ’cause I came here for the Chinese-style fried rice that I love.
「Chief~. The usual 2-」
「

 Dear guest? This is your first time, right? Coming to this store
」 [TN: Has “Are” at the end of her dialogue, haven’t encountered it in anime so don’t ask]
「Ah.」
A careless mistake.
「Ah~, N, Ah-ah-! 2 Taotao Cha-han!」  [TN: Chinese-style fried rice] [EN: Those sounds effects
]
「A half Cha-han please」
Eh? Half will suffice?
Rather, the spirit also ordered Cha-han


「Aiyo! Chief~! One and a half Cha-han!」
Oishi!
For the mean time, let’s take a break and eat this grub
◆◇◆◇
「Haaaa~! Delicious~. So happy~」
「

」
After leaving the Taotao Hanten, we searched for the cheapest inn and finished lodging procedures.
Eh? I have nearly 200 million G, so why am I still looking for the cheapest hotel, right?”
However, because I need to save money I don’t want to spend it uselessly.
Furthermore, after adding Ruru to my party the inn fee will be doubled.
Ah, and by the way, from 《Etherclan》 through the ~ mountain district ~ until 《Devil road,》during the three days I have been traveling I have only spent approximately 4000 G

I opened up my stats window to check how much money I had.
,,ïŒ’ïŒ‘ïŒ•ïŒ§ă€‚
As always, I can’t tell if there’s been any change at a glance

 .
But whatever!
I’ll immediately finish my deal with Alzein by stealing the best sword of the demon lord. Then, I’ll convince a king from some kingdom to hire me as a『Mercenary』 and get rich!
「

 What’s this about money?」
「N? 

 Aah, what about it?」
After she finished eating, Ruru broke the silence by asking.
「Is Kazuha
 Using that 《Power》 to earn money
」
「Yeah.」
「Why are you thinking in such a shallow way?」
Hey, that shallow way of thinking just fed you Cha-han.
Why is it that the good people of the world get a negative reaction from others when they say『To save money.』
If you have money you can do anything.
If you have A LOT of money, then you can even save the poor ones.
I’ve just said something cool!
「Hey, Ruru?」
「What is it?」
「Can I cuddle you?」
「Come again?」
Ah, nope.. It’s just that a spirit, with the appearance of a little girl, that is bound by my magic, 《Bind,》
in five areas and restrained by magical means who is strongly saying「You’re the worst」 with upturned eyes is somehow

「
」
「Ah, it’s nothing, it’s useless to look at me as if you’re looking at trash.」
「I don’t really understand what Kazuha is saying
」
I pull on the magic restraint, drawing the little girl with a confident attitude near

Shit! Isn’t this like a request!?


 I felt nauseous due to the sudden change in my mind

 .
「In any case, until I rehabilitate you I will not leave your side!」
「Ah, fine. Please do.」
「
Good grief
 I really don’t know what’s on your mind at all
」
After saying that, Ruru heads towards the door.
「Ara? Where are you going?」
「To take a bath. It’s a waste to stay inside because they have a really good onsen here.」
Spirit’s also use onsens!
「Ah, then I’ll go with you too!」
「No.」
「Hey!」
Why the immediate reply!?
Why not~!
I also want to go take a bath with a li-ttle-girl-!

This is bad, me
 I’m worse than scum

「No means no.」
「Eh? It’s dangerous if you’re alone

」
「I YA DE SU」 [TN: This sounds better
. ]
「



 Fine.」
The door went *crash/batan* when Ruru closed it.
I reached the door only to be clobbered, falling down with tears of regret staining my knees.
What is this

Inside this feeling of despair buds a faint uplifted feeling

?
Figuratively speaking, if you lost your wallet somewhere and a cute onee-chan asks about your student card, and you suddenly feel like your wallet will be returned to you, maybe a feeling kinda like that?
(

Yoishotto. I can only think of stupid things right now so, I’ll work on polishing the plan
)
I got up from my place on the floor, prepared some tea cakes and relaxed into a chair.
(There still 2 days left until I arrive in the Demon Castle

 . But the problem is how I will obtain the 『Demon Lord’s Sword』

)
