When I wake up and wake myself up, I am surprised at how different it is from what I was used to.

　I thought the sand beds were pretty good, but I guess that's only compared to sleeping on the rocks. A bed is a completely different kind of burden on the body. I didn't wake up in the middle of the day, and I woke up in the morning refreshed. Civilization is very important.

Good morning. Yuta. You're in a good mood.

"Good morning Sylphy. The bedding is very comfortable. It's nice to have a proper bed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm. I see. I don't know about you, but I'm glad it's good for you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... It's a genie, isn't it? They said something about Sylphy dissolving in the wind...you never know.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah. "Yeah. That's good. So where's Belle and the others?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Usually they greet me cheerfully.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, they're out exploring. I couldn't wait for Yuta to wake up. I'm sorry."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sylphy shouldn't be apologizing. Well, she seemed to enjoy looking at ...... meat in the city yesterday, so I guess she's interested in it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sure she's interested in it.　Maybe you overslept a little?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm, maybe so. Breakfast time is almost over and I was just about to wake you up."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh, no. I fell asleep as soon as I laid down after dinner last night. I must have slept pretty well. You slept over ten hours. No wonder I feel so refreshed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess I wasn't completely exhausted from my bed of sand. I feel light.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm sure Belle and the others will be fine, so if they don't come back after breakfast I'll summon them."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I head for the cafeteria with Sylphy. I rinsed my mouth a few times before I went to bed yesterday, but I could smell garlic on my breath ....... It's pretty bad if you can feel it yourself. I'm going to rinse out my mouth again. Etiquette is important.

"Good morning. Did you have a good night's sleep?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Good morning, Martha. You slept so well, you almost missed breakfast.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ha-ha-ha. Oh, yeah. Did you sleep well? If you slept well, eat well and keep up the good work.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I get a hard slap on the back. It hurts a lot. We are shown to the dining room and wait for our food to be served. Breakfast is also served. I wonder what they serve in the morning.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Aiyo!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With a thud, breakfast was placed in front of me: ...... meat. The meat is sitting in the center of a wooden plate. This volume of meat in the morning is a little scary.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Martha. This is ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah, herb-roasted roughbirds."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... is not exactly what I want to hear. What I meant was to ask if this volume is normal in the morning, but I guess I don't need to ...... ask.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......Thank you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I give up listening and start eating meat in the morning. Adventurers deserve this much in the morning, I guess.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It tastes ...... good. Is the herb basil? And the garlic is very effective. Maybe this inn is all about garlic with meat. Torque is really badass. It tastes good, though.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"How do you like it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Martha is very interested in what I have to say. I'm the only one in the diner, so maybe she's not busy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's delicious. It may have a different name, but it has a nice basil and garlic flavor, and the meat is easy to eat because it is cut into pieces.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Basil?　Garlic?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I knew it had a different name.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Uh... That's what they called it where I lived. The leafy kind is called basil, and the bulbous kind is called garlic."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Heh. On this continent it's bapur and garlic. So you're from another continent?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's a subtle resemblance. Maybe you misheard garlic or garlic.　And I'm not from another continent, I'm from another world.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yeah, something like that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's great. My husband is a sucker for a strange culinary story. Would you tell him a story?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'd love to be friends with someone who likes to cook, but I have a lot of work to do for the time being. I'll let you know when I have some free time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not a cook, so I can't talk about the details, but if you don't mind, that's fine. I just have time. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ha-ha-ha, okay. That's great. Hey. Dad, come out here for a minute. You'll hear stories from another continent."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wanted to say please when you have time. Martha, please, just hear me out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What? What is it, Martha?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A burly old man came out of the kitchen with a thud. He's got some kind of cut on his face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You. Our guest is from another continent. You'll hear about the cuisine of another continent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What!　That's great. Sir, I'd love to hear about it. You want some ale?　I'll buy you a drink.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You. Don't start drinking in the morning.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Really?　Yes, I know. Ha-ha-ha-ha. All right, gentlemen, we'll be serving ale tonight. So, how's the food on the other continent?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　An old man sits across the table from me with a thud. Perhaps this is Mr. Toruku, the man with the big arm. The couple must be very cheerful. And they both look like the type of people who don't listen to others. Dangerous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't like to be told that out of the blue. ...... Yes!　What disappointed me when I came here was that the meat on the skewers at the food stalls was grilled over wood. It was strange to see the difference even if they were grilled over charcoal."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Charcoal?　You cook meat over charcoal?　Is that all it takes to make it taste good?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Martha looks doubtful. It tastes better when you cook it over charcoal, doesn't it?　I believe it was something about far-infrared radiation. Maybe firewood doesn't have the same effect?　I'm getting worried.

　...... should also work. The Japanese have a near religious belief in charcoal fires. That's how great charcoal fire is. So it should be fine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Charcoal. Martha. I'm going to the blacksmith.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Dos-dos, the old man left the inn. What's the story?　I don't mind, but I can't keep up with what's going on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Uh, Martha?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Sorry, sir. He's going to try it right away. Charcoal is mainly used in the blacksmith shop.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, I see."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, that's good to know. I'll get some charcoal too. But if charcoal works, why doesn't basil?　Is it because I spoke the wrong name for the vegetable and assumed it wouldn't communicate?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I told you that I thought charcoal would be understood of course. ...... I guess I should ask you about charcoal, thinking it wouldn't work.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Martha, can I buy charcoal?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Charcoal?　What's charcoal?　Is it from your hometown?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, no, that's all right, I was mistaken."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Martha looked at me like I was crazy. But I get it. Maybe it's my understanding of language, but if I think it works, it works. If you think it doesn't work, your words reach the other person as they are. It's a great discovery. If you don't have to think about it, if you think you can understand everything, you'll be fine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I finish my breakfast in a good mood and return to my room with Martha's small talk. But from now on, I'll try to eat at the busiest time of the day. Martha's conversation is like a machine gun, so fast and furious that there is no time to interrupt her.

"The Bells haven't come back, have they?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yeah, they seem to be having a good time. Should we call them back?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. I'm going to the Adventurers' Guild now, so I'll call them up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I summoned Bell and the others, everyone was excited. They were having so much fun.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yuta. You know, there's so much I want to eat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Were there a lot of things you wanted to try?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah. It looks delicious!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Rain, Tulu, and Tamamo all nodded and appealed to Belle's words. Were they cruising the food shops?　He seems to have recently learned the pleasure of eating, so he must be interested in a lot of things.

"After we go to the Adventurers' Guild, I'm going to do some shopping, so let's go shopping afterwards.

"Yay!" "Cue!" "I'm so happy!" "Coo!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Belle and her friends are chatting and rejoicing with each other. It's so funny.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay. I'm going to go."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I leave the key with Martha and head for the Adventurers' Guild. Belle, who is perched on my head, happily reports to me what kind of stores she has found. There are too many onomatopoeic sounds to understand, but I know he had a good time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Rain and Tamamo do their best to tell us, but Cue and Coo can't understand them. Tulu's less wordy stories are the easiest to understand.

　When we enter the Adventurers' Guild, the buzzing stops and they look at us intently. Then the whispering started. It was very uncomfortable.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmmm. Yuta. I think you've got a second name."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Two names?　Is that what a second name is?　It's a name given to special adventurers. I got two names in one day. I'm about to start a life of being a "me-too" adventurer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（What kind of name is that?)

　I ask Sylphy in a hushed voice, a little excited. I'm sure yesterday's events will have an effect on him, so there might be a hammer in his voice.

"Everyone is calling you a fraud. You're a scoundrel who falsely claimed to be a spiritualist and then ripped off all the money from the people who were trying to mess with you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(...... Sylphy. I'm sure you know that, but that's not two names, that's a swear word)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Pfft. I guess so. Maybe that's a bad word."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sylphy. He's totally amused.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ugh?　Yutta's bad words?　Do you want me to put it on?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm. I guess so. If you guys can get him to do it, it'll prove that I'm not lying."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh, no. I feel like we're in big trouble if we don't stop this. He huffs and rushes to the motivated Bells.

（Don't get burned! (Don't encourage Sylphy, too...)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He manages to dissuade them by whispering. I wish Sylphy would stop laughing. Sylphy likes trouble. He hates war so much.　As I managed to calm down Belle and the others, Ertina noticed me and came up to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yuta-san, is something wrong?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Good morning, Miss Ertina. It's nothing. I'm just a little uncomfortable because of all the attention I've been getting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yesterday's events were spectacular and word is spreading fast. I'm sure there will be a lot of attention for a while.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ms. Eltina told me with a wry smile. Well, it can't be helped. The notoriety should cut down on the hassle. I'm not wrong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought being a necromancer was cool... but I was surprised to find out that I have a bad reputation. If I had run away yesterday my life as an adventurer here would have been on the rocks. So it can't be helped.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, it can't be helped. It won't be a problem if you show your ability. So, are we going to meet Gilmas?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, of course. Please wait here for a moment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I see Ertina off to report to Guilmouth after being escorted to the bench. Ha-ha-ha. I feel the stares around me. I don't see any friendly glances so far, totally heeled.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder if I'm going to end up playing the villain. I'd rather have a baby face and be cried at, but is that too much to ask?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While I was escaping from reality, Ms. Eltina came back. She is going to meet Guilmas. He hates necromancers, and I have no idea how the discussion will turn out. I am very worried.
