Chapter 36
Chapter 36: part 1 - But I'm not a hero.
Shout out to Ulna on the foxaholic discord for saving the translation by finding where the chapters exceeding 38 were moved to. Also may have promised a chapter last week and then binge read a series of books and a web novel over a week and forgot….. my bad. Sorry this part is a bit short part two should be fairly lengthyPatreon in case you decide this should be my full time job lol.
With the sun going down Masamune and friends gathered in the garden with Sierra’s parents, preparing for a BBQ.
“It’s been a while since we last had a BBQ, Hilda and Sierra were still little the last time we had one.”
Indulging in his memories Brown and the servants carried firewood into the garden.
“There is a lot of meat so everyone please eat.”
“Everyone is happy but will there be enough? The maids alone make 15 people.”
“I think it should be alright, this is the portion given to us from the request.”
From the material bag Toa held Masamune took out the meat they received from the request and placed it on the table.
“And this is what we bought on top of that.”
Next Masamune pulled even more meat out from his interdimensional storage and put it on the table as well.
“The Yowastein meat by itself would be a bit too greasy and since we have the Walstein meat as well why don’t we grill both.”
“That’s why you left earlier huh.”
Toa now understood why Masamune left by himself earlier. Using [God Speed] he had returned to a meat shop in town buying up all the meat.
“Everyone! Today we can eat to our hearts content!”
Brown, excited by the mountain of meat, ran off into his house for his wife and the servants.
By the time the finished the preparations Sierra and Hilda could be seen under the light from a lamp post on the garden path. Toa and nem ran up to them, and although he couldn’t hear their conversation Masamune gave a relieved smile.

Everyone began to eat the meat in earnest now, although there wasn’t just meat. The chef could be thanked for bringing out a variety of vegetables and soup as well. Personally as the Yowastein meat was greasy I was drinking the alcohol Roberts gave me while snacking on the Walstein.
I had pulled a barrel of the old gert out of my storage. It seems that Mr. Brown, Mr. Maria, and the chef knew about this wine. As soon as they saw the old man on the side of the bottle, their mouths were left hanging open. The chef was so happy he cried, I was pleased that everyone enjoyed the barbecue.
However there was something that worried me, the expression on Sierra’s face ever since she came home. She sat away from everyone on the stairs to the balcony with a glass of wine.
“Masamune, is Sierra ok?”
“Master, Is Sierra alright? ”
“Uugh alright I get it.”
Apparently they were thinking the same thing I was.
“Sierra,may I sit next to you?”
“Masamune-dono, of course go ahead. ”
I sat next to her. Toa and Nem were glancing over nervously. Wouldn’t it be better if the girls talked to each other?
“Sorry I made you worry. ”
“No, not at all. Did something happen? ”
Even though I said that Sierra fell quiet, having no experience in matters like this my only option was to wait for her to start talking again.
“Masamune-dono, do you know what a hero summoning is?”
Well that’s surprising.
“Yes.”
I don’t really know much about it, but it is how I got here.
“Do you also know why its forbidden magic?”
Aries said something that sounded like it could be the reason although this was the first time I heard it was forbidden.
“Because it requires human lives for the ritual to work?”
I basically just repeated Aries’ words.
“…….Yeah, I just learned today that it required sacrifices.”josei
Sacrifices? …..first I’ve heard of this as well. {T/N: sacrificing human lives for spells and to like the gods. Sierra refers to the sacrifice to a God. Not like a personal sacrifice for the team or something. More tied down to a stone table type of thing. Fun stuff.}
“I didn’t know, to think they even had to torture th-”
“WAIT A MINUTE!? Torture!? ”
That’s when it became apparent that I knew next to nothing about the summoning.
