What's wrong?"

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

I try my best to keep my body from getting jumpy at the sound of Meera-san's voice, and somehow manage to keep my composure.

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

I took a deep breath quietly so as not to arouse her disbelief, and turned my gaze to Meera-san.

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

Meera-san's softly smiling face.

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

I feel fear in her expression, which made me feel at ease yesterday, but I manage to smile back.

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

I repeat over and over in my mind that it has not yet been decided that Meera-san is a member of the organization.

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

'The slime is strange to me.'

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

Perhaps it is because I am nervous, but the words are not coming out well.

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

I don't know what to do.

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

Slime?"

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

I was just talking about how slowly it digests."

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

I hear Mr. Rattler's voice from next door.

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

Yes, I am not alone, it's okay.

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

I look at Mr. Rattler and he says, "Hey! He winks at me as he says it.

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

'Slow digestion?　If you put it that way, the slime I'm taming is the slowest."

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

The slowest?"

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

I have a rare slime that can digest a sword, but it takes me all day.

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

Mr. Rattler said that the slime that digests swords is rare slime.

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

Even rare slime takes that long?

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

Ivy, if you care about slime, you can come over here and watch, okay?"

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

Meera holds one slime in her hand and shows it to me.

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

It would be less suspicious if you showed me this one.

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

But .......

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

'Sorry Meera. We're almost at the end of the strike, and I've been asked to clean up."

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

Cleaning?

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

It's from the leader. If you're going to take a break, you'd better clean up. He's so rough with people, isn't he? I'm going to do it with Ivy.

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

Ale?

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

I haven't heard anything about that, though.

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

Did I forget to mention it?

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

I see. I heard that we have about one day left to defeat them. Speaking of which, aren't you going to share some moo meat with us today?

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

Yes, yes, yes. We had a good hunt while we were taking down the ogre. There was enough to share with everyone.

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

Would you like to join us for dinner?"

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

I don't mind ......, but the leader is with us, right? I'm pretty sure Meera's brothers aren't very good leaders, are they?"

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

I'm not sure I'd like that. You might not like it. Too bad.

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

Hahaha, that's a real shame. I'm going to start cleaning up now.

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

I'll be right back. See you later, Ivy.

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

Yes, ma'am.

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

What is it?

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

I've decided to talk about a lot of things without knowing it.

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

I heard that we can get fresh meat for the moo, but the leader will be joining us for dinner?

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

Oh well, there will be an extra serving for one today.

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

I'll have to do my best to make it.

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

Still, thanks to Mr. Rattler, it looks like I avoided being alone with Meera.

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

Thank goodness.

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

Phew~"

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

A sigh spills out unconsciously, and I look hurriedly at Mr. Rattler, who is nearby.

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

Hm?　What's wrong?"

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

It seems that ...... was unnoticed.

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

I hurriedly shook my head at Rattler, who lightly patted my head.

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

'Ah~, I'm sorry. I decided to clean up and stuff on my own."

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

No," he said. I'm happy to be of service."

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

I see. I'm glad to hear you say that, because I agreed to do it without your permission.

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

We laugh a little and then begin to clean up the entire plaza.

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

Each of us collects trash and other debris that has fallen between the tents.

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

Although we collect trash every day, there is still a lot of trash that goes unnoticed.

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

If the entire square is collected, a good amount of trash is gathered.

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

However, perhaps it was because there were many adventurers who liked to keep the place clean, or perhaps we did not collect as much trash as we had expected.

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

To be honest, many of the plazas provided by the village for adventurers are dirty.

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

Aren't they clean?"

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

Yes, it is. I was surprised because I was picturing an adventurer's plaza."

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

One of the leader's friends is a clean freak. He's afraid to use it in a dirty way. What do you call it, quiet intimidation?"

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

Quiet intimidation?

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

He would stand behind me and whisper, 'You're dirty. Then, for a brief moment, I'm struck by a deadly ...... feeling, and that's scary."

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

Somehow, Mr. Rattler's expression seems a little frightened.

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

Have you had any experience with ...... Rattlur too?"

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

Oh, when I first became an adventurer. Even now, I still get scared when I meet someone unexpectedly.

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

Is Mr. Rattler the kind of being who gets spooked just by seeing him?

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

I'm not sure if I want to see it or not.

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

Come to think of it, I wonder if the leader's friends ...... will be eating dinner with him?

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

Does that person eat dinner with you?"

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

Oh, maybe?"

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

That's kind of cringeworthy.

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

But okay.

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

We're meeting today? ...... Let's make sure we clean up around the tent before everyone gets back.

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

It'll be fine!"

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

Mr. Rattler sees me and is flustered.

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

He's not such a scary person. He's just tough on people who make a mess like idiots.

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

I see.

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

Then I guess it's okay?

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

And I don't use it in such a dirty way.

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

...... Let's just clean it up a little better for now.

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

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

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

Oh, he's back."

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

I see the adventurers returning to the plaza, following Mr. Lattrua's gaze.

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

It's quite lively today, isn't it?

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

"By the looks of things," he said. Maybe they were able to kill all the ogres.

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

I see.

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

That's why everyone is smiling.

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

After the defeat is over, we can go back to the town, so that makes them smile, too.

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

What about me?

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

Should I not go to the town if I am being targeted?

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

Good night."

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

Good night."

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

I'm really tired," he said. Still, you look pretty good, don't you?"

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

Mr. Sifal takes the magic bag off his shoulder and places it by the tent while he looks around.

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

The area around the tent was carefully cleaned.

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

And the tent was also curious, so I wiped it down and cleaned it.

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

So I am glad to hear that it is clean.

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

I was like, "Yes, it is!　Ivy did a great job. I'm off to the leader's for a bit, so take care of Ivy!"

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

I understand. By the way, Ivy, did you clean the tent by any chance?

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

Yes, I am. I have Mr. Rattlesnake's permission.

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

Thank you!　I was curious because it was always appropriate. Glad to see it's been a while since it's been cleaned up."

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

Thank goodness they liked it.

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

By the way, Mr. Rattler seemed to be in quite a hurry earlier, I wonder if he is OK?

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

Come to think of it, you've been fidgeting a lot since the defeat squad came back.

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

What's wrong?"

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

No," he said. Is today the end of the strike?"

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

Yes!　The number of ogres sighted has been killed!　We still need to survey the area tomorrow, though."

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

I see. Thank you so much for your hard work."

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

I love it. It's kind of soothing."

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

When I say this, he pats me on the head.

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

Unlike my impression of Mr. Sifal, he is quite strong and my neck hurts a little.

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

'Sifal, you need to tone down the force.'

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

Mr. Nooga grabs Mr. Sifal's wrist to stop him from moving.

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

I am a little thankful for that.

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

Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Nooga.

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

Oh. Yes, this.

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

What he handed me was something wrapped in a huge leaf.

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

When I opened it, I found a huge piece of raw meat.

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

It was probably the meat of a moo.

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

Seasoning, please.

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

With that, Mr. Nooga walks into the tent.

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

I see, I wonder if it is seasoned with medicinal herbs instead of herbs .......

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

It's going to take a little time when they're this big.

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

Let's cut them into bite-sized pieces and rub them in.

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

Do you think it would be okay to use it in soup?

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

Okay, I think I'll make dinner.

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

Ivy, I'll add these too."

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

Another moo meat of the same size is added.

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

Eh?

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

I look at Mr. Rattler who brought it.

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

'For the leaders. There are four members of the leadership in all."

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

...... Let's get right to it.

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

It's a lot of work for nine people.
