Raising Slaves on the Other World While on a Journey Chapter 16

「Delicious」

「I’m so happy that I can eat such delicious food」
「Delicious, this is delicious!」

After tasting the curry, I got these reactions.

For some reason, the vegetables of this world are almost all the same, so I was able to cook a curry similar to the one from Earth. I’m satisfied.

In Japan, I would use pork or beef, and sometimes even some chicken meat, but there’s no such meat here, so I ended up using Red Dragon meat instead.

There was also another discovery.

This is probably because, when I put the treasure chest into the item box for the first time, the item box named the chest the “Treasure Chest filled with Curry Roux” and it “fixed” the chest when it was emptied.

Tomorrow, let’s test this to see if it’s only possible with treasure chests.

After we finish eating dinner, I check my blacksmithing list to see if there’s anything I can make from the Combustion Stones I got in the dungeon.
In the end, I made a sword with Combustion stones and Red Dragon fangs.

– Burning Sword rank 8

STR+115
Increases damage done to insect and plant type enemies.

I used 5 Combustion Stones and 8 Red Dragon Fangs to make this sword with a crimson color. There shouldn’t be many people with a sword of such rank.

– Burning Claw rank 8

STR+100
Increases damage done to insect and plant type enemies.

There isn’t anyone who uses a claw weapon, but I made one for Charlotte just in case.

「Here, this is for you」
「Eh, is that really alright?」

I hand the sword, which I had just created in the tent, to Sara, which she received with quite the surprised expression.
Why are you so surprised? The only one who uses a sword is Sara, so of course she’s the one who would receive it.

「Well, but the sword I have is good enough for me」
「Just in case your sword breaks, it’s better to have a backup or two right?」

I persuade Sara to take the sword.
Was there such a need to be so afraid?

「This sword is most likely on an entirely different level than the ones used by a knight commander or royalty. Is it really alright for me to receive such sword?」

She went somewhere with an unpleasant face while mumbling something, but I’m glad she accepted the sword.
Afterwards, I talk to Charlotte, who is lying in the carriage because she ate too much.

「Mu, this is for me? I’m sure I told you that a lady like myself doesn’t require a weapon」

「… You leave me no choice, I will accept it. However, don’t expect any gratitude」

「Why the hell are you saying thanks」

Charlotte looks the other way.

I would prefer it if she used it instead of selling it, but I will leave that up to her.

The next morning, I once again dive into the dungeon alone. Everyone else stays at home.

However, even if I’m being selfish, I’m the master, so those four have to listen to my orders. When this happens, and I’m going into high ranking dungeon by myself, the four blame themselves for being weak. 
Everyone became quite strong, so they won’t lose to the monsters around town. However, I’m still worried about them. I’ll return as soon as possible.

On the first floor, I searched the collection points and treasure chest locations that I had discovered yesterday, but I didn’t find anything. Seems like they don’t respawn in a day.

When I got to the second floor, I experienced the biggest change I’ve ever seen in a dungeon so far.

Furthermore, the same kind of flower also blooms closely on the ceiling. They are so packed together, that there are no gaps in between them.

Honestly, it would be troublesome to take on such a large number of enemies that don’t move, so I thought I would leave them be and explore but…

「Maa, that’s not possible, is it?」

As soon as I set foot on the second floor, the flowers blew fire at me all at once.

As soon as I return to the stairway, the flowers stop their attack. Their petals close and they return to their state as a bud.

Because the flowers are tightly packed together, there doesn’t seem to be a gap a person could pass through.

I bought these clothes in a town, but then I learned the sewing skill, so I still have some clothes available.

Moreover, advancing across those flowers, while being under bombardment would seem to be a bit too hot aswell.
Isn’t there anything I can do?

「Ah, that’s right」

I use [Coercion] to the max, and step onto the second floor once again.

With an intimidating skill on, the flowers won’t attack me.

Although there are many flowers, it seems that they are not a strong monster.
Now then, let’s explore the second floor while picking a few flowers.

This dungeon’s second floor can boast the same size as the first floor.

My [Detection] and [Search] skills are always on, so every corner of the dungeon is thoroughly searched.

I stand in front of the hidden door I found during the search.

I don’t know whether the enemy behind this hidden door is strong or not, so let’s be careful.

After I carefully entered the hidden door, I notice this room was much wider than the one I was in before.

Suddenly, the armor starts to transmit an aura.
This armor is quite strong. Maybe even stronger than the troll.

I draw only one of my katanas.

After the armor drew its katana, I thought it would be a waste to draw the second one. I have that kind of feeling.

「－－tsu!?」

At that moment, I kick off the ground to avoid the katana that was aiming at my neck.

Yet, I certainly felt a katana aiming at my neck.

Which ever it was, it doesn’t change the fact that this is troublesome.

Thanks to the [Perception] skill, I could barely see the katana move and was able to avoid the attack, but still, the attack itself was invisible and it made evading it difficult.

「Gu」

The katana blurred again. I rolled away to dodge the slash.

「Air blade!」

After rolling away, I took a posture and used one of my sword skills, and unleashed an air blade.
However, just when I think I see the its katana blur again, a sound of clashing metal echoes around the room. The air blade I used vanished.

Meanwhile I put some distance between the two of us.

Perhaps that slashing attack cannot be used while moving.

However, that armor didn’t do it.

Even that small amount of time is enough for me.
I cover about 10 meters with one step.

「Thunder!」

It’s my fastest sword skill, a thunder-type skill that allows me to approach the armor at a lightning fast speed.
It doesn’t have a neck, so I aim at the torso.

However－－It doesn’t reach.

A high pitched sound echoes around. The our katanas collided.

「Thunder Strike」

I unsheathed my other katana.

Now it has nothing to block my attacks with.
I break the armor with Thunder Strike.

「That was dangerous」

My arm that was cut off・・・・・・grows back while I mumble.

If I had been just a second slower, it may not ended with just an arm.
Because it was very dangerous to have taken that slash from so close, I’m glad it was defeated with this.

I pick up its katana from off the ground.

Maa, this katana is of the highest rank, so I don’t need to worry.

After all, my fights were usually finished bare handed. It won’t be problem to use only 1 sword.

– The demon sword – Muramasa rank 10

STR+420

Puts the wielder under a 『curse』.

Fumu, a curse.

I don’t know what curse this is, but the curse must be fairly strong because of this katana’s rank. It wouldn’t be possible for anyone besides me to use this katana.

I thought the armor might have been high quality, so I’m kinda disappointed.

Just in case the armor is useful for something, I pick it up anyway.

Now, it doesn’t seem like anything else is in this room, so let’s continue exploring.
