Otoko Nara Ikkokuichijou no Aruji o Mezasa Nakya, ne? Chapter 235

And then,

"Nn..But I feel something is a bit off right..I thought it was opium but.."

And she said while putting her hand to her jaw while thinking. But, on the identify window not even the "na" in "narcotics" appeared. Rather~ why suddenly something like opium...when I tried asking Miduchi in the middle of the night when we changed lookout shifts after that and,

"I mean, it says it was made from the flower of a plant and it even says it's a pain reliever, an ork that wouldn't easily be able to get it's hands on tobacco was carrying a pipe right? If you mix them together isn't that already "opium" right?"

And that sort of reply came back. There's no way that's the case right, I honestly find your brain to be a menace for arriving at opium based on just that amount of information. When I said that sort of sarcasm,

"Eh? You've never tried looking up how to manufacture narcotics?"

And replied with a serious face. No. In the first place, I never had any interest in narcotics at all.

"I think there's a lot of people interested in those sorts of things during middle and high school. I didn't read those sorts of books in the classroom either but I read it at home."

That's the reason why you didn't have any friends right...That's dark after all. Other than studying brats should be playing outside. In the first place middle and high school students should be busy with club activities.

"Umm..I think I mentioned in the past~ but..I was the bookworm-type so.."

Was that the case? But you at least had friends to play with right? Like shopping with other girls or things.

"..That's why I said, I didn't have many friends...Rather than playing outside with anyone I would read books, games..like SuFami, 32X Mega Drive with added Mega CD, SuperGrafx, Neo Geo, Towns Marty, LaserActive, PiPPiN, PCFX, Playstation, Saturn, ah, though it was the High Saturn that shows MPEGs but, 3D0, 64, DD, Gamecube, Dreamcast, X-box, 360, PS3, Wii, things around that area particularly after finding a job huh..In any case the only ones I didn't have when I was a student was the Virtual Boy and Playdia and we had the net, I got into the computer when I was in elementary school after all..even after entering college no one talked to me so I couldn't say I wanted to enter a circle..It's fine since I had friends on the other side of the screen! I was the indoor-type! All of the indoor-type kids were interested in these types of things at that age! Someone who was in the swimming club and went to self-defense university, or let alone mar..marri... married wouldn't know understand!! I hadn't even played with my PS4 for two years since I bought it!! Even though it was expensive!!"

Partway through she snapped and started going on about things that I couldn't understand almost like some kind of incantation. No, I have no clue what you're saying. I can somehow figure out that it's the name of games but..Eh? It's not games? Game consoles? Ah, is that so. Were you playing just games that much? Did you have that much free time?

"Ha~? There's no way I could buy all of the games right!? For each console at best about 2-4 games, at most 7-8 games!! Since there's no time to be playing shitty games!!"

I have no clue...

"Hmph. Even though you didn't even know about orks..I..I..I knew about all of the monsters we've encountered up until now! I know a bunch more other than that! That's why it's useful!"

..Yeah, I guess so. Rather~ it's only obvious both Gwine and Angela would wake up with how much noise she's making late at night.

In any case, according to Miduchi this pain reliever called nokkusu is a type of narcotic that's additive like opium or close to that. Furthermore, while keeping an eye on things during combat I used Identify on the living orks but their Condition was Normal. There was no suspicious sort of display like Addict. "It didn't look like it was addicted though" and when I pointed that out,

"Ha..This is why amateurs are.."

And I was looked down on,

"Even if it's opium if they don't absorb a reasonable amount of a reasonable period they won't turn into something like an addiction. There's pretty much no narcotic that would result in addiction in just a single try and in the first place we're not discussing humans from Earth, on Orth who knows..furthermore they're monsters after all. Also, mixing up addiction to drugs and the symptoms shown from withdrawal of an addiction is typical of an amateur."

And I was told that, I guess that is true. I mean, I am an amateur after all. After that we talked about ti when Angela and Gwine really weren't listening but my Identify might not be able to determine chronic addiction, is the conclusion we came to. Certainly even if I use Identify on a person with an illness if the symptoms haven't appeared it doesn't show up.

In any case, since we were saying a number of dangerous terms like "narcotics" and "opium" Gwine was persis~tently trying to ask about it, we decided to talk about it with these two. Well as expected if I heard Gwine talking about those words I wouldn't just ignore it either.

That's the end of this discussion for now.

Our horses ascended the outer crater's of Baldukk and climbed to a place where we can look down at the town. It's a time that's still before lunch.

"I wonder if we can eat Baldoggie for lunch?"

"If they're in the dungeon then I'm sure we can."

I replied to Gwine who was controlling the reins in the front while we started the descent to the town of Baldukk. In regards to the holiday over Golden Week I left it to Zenom and Toris so how long of a period they decided to take off or explore I don't know, whether today is a holiday or if they're in the dungeon is unknown.

It's something we could tell form above but nothing at all had changed with the town of Baldukk since before and after we departed, it's still the same town with a population exceeding 30,000 people.

Along the way, we let down Angela at Shuni and just as we arrived at Boil Manor we were able to catch Cathy as she was climbing the stairs with some Baldoggie that were finished being stuffed and boiled. It was as she was making round trips between their room and the rooftop to smoke them.

"Ah, Greed-san. Welcome back!!"

While Cathy was energetically greeting us I asked her, "Is everyone in the dungeon?" and her reply was that everyone would probably return tomorrow.

"Eh? They aren't coming back every day?"

And Gwine asked. I thought the same thing.

"Yeah, it seems that everyone is going down to the 4th floor now. It sure is amazing right~"

And Cathy smiled while replying.

"So everyone was able to pass through the 3rd floor in a single day? Even the {Exterminators}?"

Miduchi and Gwine were surprised as they talked but if they're going to the 4th floor then that should be the case. Putting that aside, while going up the stairs to the second floor I asked Cathy about something different. This is something I need to confirm.

"Was there any changing of members between groups?"

"There was not. I heard that they had a test at the end of April but.."

He~

"Hn, I see, thanks. After changing we're going to get some lunch but how about it? You still haven't had any right?"

After asking Cathy and she said she still hadn't so we quickly got changed and during that time she, John, and Terry filled up the smoker with sausages. We waited for Angela to come after changing and then went to ear lunch with everyone.

.....................

Ah, so they were eager. Most of them made expressions like a glare while lifting the sides of their lips. So I was the only one feeling frightened?
