Chapter 118.2 - Live in Luxury

As expected, even Yamajun made a slip in front of such a delicious meal that he missed so dearly.

In fact, this jungle's flora and fauna far surpassed all the areas that I visited before combined. That's why I was sure that we could find a typical nature like this outside of this dungeon.

The dungeon menu created by Mei-chan consisted of ebicaterpillar and snake, but the jungle was literally suffused with food as long as we're looking for it. It's like a treasure trove of foodstuffs … With some poisonous stuff mixed in. And that was excluding the dangerous things with parasites or fungi.

I should mention, to anyone, unlike me who possessed a high recognition skill, the chances of running into dangerous stuff was extremely high. And that danger soared even higher when it came to mushrooms and plants type food. I mean, that red mushroom poison was strong enough to knock out the armored bear.

?Anyhow, with my ?Intuition Pharmacy?, we no longer have to worry about finding the right foodstuff. It's an irreplaceable hunting skill.?

?Thanks a lot, Momokawa-kun. To be honest, I'm tired of walnut already … Ayase-san is also delighted with this finding.?

?Yeah, I'm glad that you like it.?

Even I could tell that my reply was a big fat lie.

I shot a sidelong glance toward that bi– I mean Reina A Ayase who was nibbling on the great boar hot pot from her bowl like a small animal.

She got a free meal without even doing anything, she was really enjoying her NEET-like lifestyle. Was the meal you ate for free really that delicious?

?Huffhuff, shoo good.?

You're whining over eating the walnut. Now look, it's as if you can't get enough of the taste of fresh, oily meat.

If I were a chef, I would surely be fired up right now after seeing that b*tch smile, but instead of warming my heart, it gradually went toward absolute zero.

Naturally, I was really delighted since she liked my great boar hot pot, besides, everything went according to my plan. Honestly, the most troublesome part of my plans was whether she’d like this hot pot or not.

?Eat as much as you want Reina-chan, there's still a lot of it left after all.?

?This is the most delicious part, do you want to try it??

Before I noticed, they’d already formed a ring around Reina with Yamada at the helm. As expected of a princess, she really was throwing her weight, huh.

The Totem Pole Trio, save for Shimokawa who was aiming for Takanashi Kotori didn't give the air of lol!con like Yamada-kun. But, Reina had this kind of charm that lured the opposite sex into pampering her, regardless of their preference.

I mean, I would basically leave her to her own devices if she didn't mess with me. I swear upon Ruinhilde-sama's name to not harbour any kind of dirty passion as a man towards that blonde lol!- I mean, her type was completely out of my range, thus I was protected. But I was also scared since deep inside something was whispering to me to join the quartet.

After I snapped out of my trance and got away as far as possible, I prepared a nice hot bath for them.

???The big one is for males, the small one is for females.?

They were all lying around on the lawn with bulging stomachs after the dinner, however, I choose the right time to interrupt their rest.

?F-Female bath … gulp?

Oi, Yamada, what's with that pause just now? Your reaction was definitely that of a lo– ah, forget it!

?Well, I guess everyone has to leave when it's Ayase-san's turn to take a bath.?

I mean, we'll be grilled by that scary lion if we didn't leave when she took a bath. Or rather, that guy had already shot a menacing look at us.

Anyhow, I guess it's ready seeing how the steam rising from the bathtub was thick enough. Naturally, Shimokawa played a big role as the aquamancer in filling the bathtub to the brim.

?Waah, it's a bathtub, a bathtub! YAAAY!?

Since Reina was merrily looking at the prepared hot bathtub, it was unilaterally decided that she'd take the first turn. Oi, who was the bastard who said, ?Let's decide on turns to take a bath with rock paper scissor?? I mean, it's natural for men to want to enter the bathtub first.

And yet, look at them, folding in in front of that shitty b*tch's smile … All of us then left the Fairy Plaza in silence after Engard threatened us with his menacing groan.

?Well then, next up is making bed huh …?

I proceeded with the last preparation- making the spider thread's hammock like the one from last night. I reckoned Reina might have some apprehension since it looked extremely similar to a giant spiderweb but …

?Waah, amazing!! A hammock, kyaah!?

It ended up as needless anxiety when I saw Reina, who just finishing her bath, frolicking like an elementary grade kid as soon as she glimpsed the hammock.

?Let's sleep together in this place, En-chan.?

?… Yeah, it's big enough for Engard too.?

I pumped myself with the best services I could muster to fulfill Reina's ballooning wilfulness and made a bigger hammock while at it. The Arachne's spiderwebs itself was really durable since it's loaded with a lot of mana. Even a big lion like Engard could lie down on it just fine as long as it didn't move wildly in its sleep, or rather, I unconsciously created an arachne-sized nest hammock, I guess it could hold on.

?Yaay, g'ni~te?

The sh*tty princess who was snuggling up on the hammock in place of Engard's fluffy furs had already begun her journey towards the dreamland. That selfish princess didn't even say ?Thank you? to me, the one who prepared all of this till the very end and just slept … being her selfish self per usual.

Well, it didn't matter anyway. The reason I’d prepared the food, bed, and bath was to level our playing ground anyway. I didn't need her gratitude, it was enough as long as that sh!tty b!tch realized my value.

Now, all that left was to bring her to the negotiation table.

?Oi, Momokawa.?

After Reina fell asleep, Yamada called out to me just before we were about to leave the Fairy Plaza. What now? I should've prepared a hammock for you too …

?Well, I just want to say thank you for the meal and bath and … You can get closer to Reina-chan with this.?

Haha, this is why I hate boys who fall in love. Let's terminate this ugly jealousy of this boy!

Even though I was already fed up with this kind of misdirected jealousy, I countered Yamajun's with a smile.

?Yamada-kun, the truth is, I'm in love with Futaba-san.?

?… EH!??

Yamada was clearly surprised by my unexpected remark.

?You're into that chubby kind of a girl huh.?

?Eh, ah … Yes.?

Thank you Mei-chan. You protected me even when you're not in this place?? So allow me to borrow your name here for my own convenience. I mean, I was really gunning for you even when you're still as round as before.

?In addition, we're a team now, right? That's why I think that I've to at least make this much contribution to the team due to my lack of combat prowess. That's why I'll do to the best of my abilities to restore everyone's spirit before the battle.?

?O-O~h.?

After diverting the bombshell, I was back to convince Yamada-kun with sound reasoning. He who had no power left to make a quarrel with me obediently accepted my reasoning.

That reasoning aside, Yamada-kun, you're way too easy to cheat you know?

?Then, let's sleep in preparation for tomorrow. G'nite.?

?Oh, G'nite.?

After I managed to divert Yamada-kun's jealousy and left the Fairy Plaza, I saw Yamajun smiling wryly as if to say ?It seems my intermediation is unnecessary.?.

?… Fuuh.?

Even if it's not a fairy plaza, everyone should be able to at least calm down in their own room. Maybe because of the change in habit, everyone came to the conclusion that it's safer to sleep in the fairy plaza. Still, I rather sleep in a different room.

Different from the tower in the underground lake, this tower had several empty rooms. I chose the small and compact one amongst them all as my personal room. Rem the 1st was standing by outside of my room, while Raptor Rem was by the entrance of the tower as our watch out. Thank you for your hard work today.

?… Fuuh.?

Nevertheless, there's nothing that can beat your own room. I could do almost anything in my own room without having to worry about outsider's eyes.

?Thank you very much, Randou-san.?

Thus, I began my journey to the dreamland after I had stowed away those wonderful leopard panties back in their safe box.

Yup, tomorrow was finally the time to propose Goma's tower capture strategy to everyone. I couldn't help but feel worried though I felt that my current preparation was enough.

Let's just do my best with my shaman vocation!
