Chapter 340
(340) What happened?
Translator: Tseirp
“Is that … Mallegory?”
I muttered after seeing the outer walls of the city .
Pochi was already flying at low altitude so I could not see inside the outer walls .
Magic City . The city where Daijiro-san was said to be in . The first destination I was aiming for from the start of my journey .
I could imagine all sorts of things .
Just what kind of city would it be?
Would it be THE so-called magic city where flying carpets are the mode of transportation or a modern city with high-rise buildings lined up?
I dreamed about what lied on the other side of the outer walls .
I could peek into the city from above by using Hawk Eye but I won’t do it .
“Suzuki, how many times have you been to Mallegory?”
“Hn, I wonder . As fellow transmigrators, the first information we received was about this location . I came here once about half a year after coming to this world and visited countless times after that . Although the world is big, this is the only place with shops that sells Japanese food after all . ”
“Eh, there’s Japanese food?”
“Yup . Furthermore, the effort was put into crossbreeding the rice originally from this world so it is delicious . The taste is comparable to the Koshihikari rice brand … eh? Kusunoki-kun, you don’t seem very excited . ”
“No, that’s not the case . I am looking forward to Japanese food . ”
I gave an awkward smile .
Sorry . Regarding rice, I am already manufacturing a large volume in My World .
“What is rice, Jofre . ”
“I’ve heard of it before . It is said that the seven goddesses are within a single grain of rice . ”
“All seven goddesses!? Eh? But I only know six goddesses?”
“Hn? That’s true now that you mention it . Koshmar-sama, Torerul-sama, Setolance-sama, Libra-sama, Minerva-sama, Tet-sama …”
Jofre named the goddesses while counting down his fingers .
“Hey, Jo . Who is the remaining goddess?”
“Jo, please tell us who is the remaining goddess . ”
Don’t shake me .
It was probably Metias-sama .
She was somehow missed out but she definitely existed .
“The Goddess of Rice? There was the idiom ‘Six gods ride on each bale of rice’ . Was there also the saying that each rice grain housed 88 gods?”
Still, stop shaking me .
Sorry but I don’t have a good grasp of Japanese idioms .
If each rice grain had 7 or 88 gods and still have six gods riding on each rice bale, the country would be filled with gods . Well, I guess that’s where the saying ‘Yaoyorozu no kami’ came from . (TL: Yaoyorozu = 8 million . In Japanese Shinto belief, gods reside in everything in nature, they believed there to be 8 million gods in total . )
All this talk about rice made me want to have some rice .
Pochi switched posture to land just as I had that thought .
It stopped near the gate ─ ─ or rather in front of the stables .
The stable employee came out .
“Baron-sama! That’s troubling, landing at such a place will scare the horses . ”
“Eh? But you took care of Pochi here in the past ─ ─”
“The last time you came, it was a wyvern only as tall as I am so I took care of it but I can’t take care of such a large wyvern now . ”
That’s a given .
No matter how well-behaved it is, it was like entrusting a well-behaved lion to a place with no chains or cages .
“I’ll need feed as well so maybe I’ll ask the ranch to take care of it . ”
“That might be a good idea . ”
… Did you just choose a ranch because you needed feed?
Hn, Pochi’s feed ─ ─ I wonder how many cows, sheep, and goats will have to be sacrificed .
Previously he mentioned that it could finish an entire Sugyu in three days . It would take around 2 weeks for Miles and the others to walk over . They would spend an additional few days visiting and touring the Great Cathedral .
During that time, the lowest number would come up to ─ ─ no, it’s scary to think about it .
“Well then, Pochi and I will head to the ranch to make an exchange so the three of you can enter the town first . I believe you should be able to stay for free if you head to the Japanese Street, Showa Lane number 3, the house with my nameplate on it . Here, an introduction letter . ”
Suzuki said and passed me a piece of parchment .
Leaving that aside, the address he said ─ ─ Japanese Street? Showa Lane? Nameplate?
“ … That’s an amazing address . I remembered it in one go . ”
I took the parchment .
And since we were at a stable ─ ─ I thought of calling Centaur out so I bade Jofre and Elize wait before moving into My World in the shadows .
The nostalgic My World ─ ─ Haru and the others welcomed me with smiles ─ ─
“Wel-welcome home … Master . ”
“Carol can’t do it any longer … Carol has no more charm . ”
“I … Master, magical power ─ ─ give me magical power now . ”
“I have the same request … my MP has single digits left . ”
“Sheena’s hair … Sheena’s hair … end desu …”
Or rather, instead of smiles, Haru, Carol, Pionia, Neete, and Sheena No . 3 welcomed me with completely exhausted looks .
Just what happened in My World?
Especially Sheena, when did she cut short her hair?
“ … Are Rarael and the others okay?”
All the Dark Elves were down .
Haru and the others seemed to have taken a lot of damage .
“ …… The Golden Tree … is fine . ”
“That donkey … please do not agree to take care of it again . ”
Ririana begged me, continuing Rarael’s sentence .
That donkey probably referred to Centaur ─ ─ it was leisurely munching on a banana peel .
Just what happened exactly?
