Glutton Berserker ~The One That Exceeds The Concept Of Levels~-Chapter 132 – Merchant City Tetra

The merchant city Tetra that was located south of the capital was already within sight. This bike truly was a fast vehicle.

So Greed was telling the truth when he said that it’s 100 times better than any horse.

It’d take at least 2 days if we travelled on horse, but we only took half a day to get here via bike.

It’s noon already, so we planned to have our lunch in the city. We got off the bike and looked around the city.

[Still as great as before.]

[Indeed. This is the southern distribution base after all. Look over there! Cute, right?]

[Hoo.]

Decorative trinkets were arranged neatly on the nearby street stall. Roxy loved this kind of stuff.

When she was still a Holy Knight, Roxy was too busy to even consider wearing any accessories. Therefore, she refrained from looking at the accessories sold in the stalls she passed by.

But now she’s just a wandering swordswoman. She had relinquished her seat back to her father, Mason-sama.

I’d never thought that she would be willing to go that far for me. But still, it made me happy.

[What is wrong, Fai? Why are you grinning like that?]

[No, nothing at all.]

Apparently it was all over my face. My black sword, Greed, laughed at me for letting my guard down, but I ignored him.

Roxy approached me while tilting her head. Nowadays, I felt closer to her than ever before.

[Since we are here, should we buy something?]

I had so much more money than when I was a servant, I could actually buy most things sold around here.

But Roxy shook her head.

[This is more than enough.]

Having said so, she showed me the pendant she had kept hidden under her clothes. It was the jewel pendant I presented to Roxy a long time ago.

[I really like this so much, I have no need for more.]

[I see.]

While me and Roxy stared lovingly at each other, I sensed a cold gaze coming from behind me. She also noticed it so we turned to the direction of the source.

[I’m sorry for interrupting your fun, but what about lunch?]

[Un un, I’m also feeling very hungry. Can you two keep the lovey dovey stuff for later?]

Both Mimir and Eris said as they look at us with emotionless and empty pupils.

And they continued on.

[We were supposed to be travelling together, but you two are busy journeying on your own world]

[Exactly as Eris-sama said. You two should reflect on yourselves!]

[ [ Sorry...] ]

Both I and Roxy apologized.

Speaking of which, I asked Eris.

[By the way, is it really okay to park the bikes right there at the streetside? Won’t they get stolen?]

[Ahahaha... no worries. Those bikes require at least 1 million magic power to start up. Moreover, they have the royal family coat of arms. Stealing it will get you capital punishment.]

[Please stop saying something that scary while laughing...]

[Ah my bad, my bad. As I said before, after living for a very long time, there are things that I’ve grown numb to.]

I remembered Myne said a similar thing before. And that girl had lived much longer than Eris.

Is that really why?

Myne said that her sense of taste had grown numb, to the point that anything she ate tasted the same.

Now she’s not with us anymore though. All because of this so called Door to that Land.

She said that it’s her greatest reason to stay alive for this long, so she couldn’t let it go that easily.

The Door to that Land... All I know for now is that it could resurrect the dead back to life. As a result, Roxy’s father and all the soldiers that perished in Gallia returned back to the capital alive.

And there was also my dad. It’s just that, he seemed to be so much stronger than I remembered, most probably due to some kind of contract.

And it’s not limited to human only. Even monsters that supposedly had been long extinct reappeared.

And most of them tend to be something that the warriors of the current era couldn’t handle. They all belonged to Area E.

Fighting them while not on the same Area E would only amount to defeat, as they won’t suffer any damage. This was the case with the Tenryu. If similar kind of monsters were running rampant, it’ll send the people panicking.

That’s why we are here, chasing Shinn who is attempting to open the Door to that Land, in order to prevent further disasters from happening in the future.

That guy seemed to be lurking near Hauzen. This was what Eris learned after checking on Shinn’s fragment.

If Shinn is there, then Myne should also be there as they have the same goal.

We must find and stop them. Easier said than done, since we are talking about Myne here.

Because she was a natural, her capability is dimensions away compared to mine. There would be a price to pay in order to defeat her.

Thinking so, I felt a little anxious despite that we are still fairly far away from Hauzen. This feeling must’ve been transmitted through my hand, as Roxy held my hand tighter.

[Alright, let’s have some lunch! Since it’s Fai, then the menu must be meat.]

[Oh, oh! Then I’d like to eat a dish with thick cutlets of meat.]

[Then through here. There is a tavern there, a short walk along the main street. Their meat dishes are best known for the softness and the deliciousness.]

[Really?]

[Yes, Mugan-san taught me about it when we were exploring Gallia. And look, here we are.]

[That person is really knowledgeable.]

[Un un, he sure is.] 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

When the two of us were about to go, what’s with this cold sensation on my back again!?

Turning around, it was Mimir and Eris squinting at us again.

[Have you forgotten what I said already?]

[Out with it!]

These two... are really harsh. I just wanted to have lunch together with Roxy... but I guess that’s not possible.

[ [ I’m sorry ] ]

[Good grief.... So anyways, the lunch will be meat dishes?]

[Yes, Eris-sama. That’s right. Not only that, the tavern also has various fish dishes and many other menus. It’s after all the southern logistics base, so they have plenty and various ingredients here.]

[I wonder if they also have good liquor.]

[Of course!]

[Then what are we waiting for!?]

Eris loves alcohol. And she’s a heavy drinker at that.

Even a barrel full of wine won’t be enough for her. When we drank together back at the capital, my eyeballs almost popped out of the sockets seeing her showing off her drinking capability.

[Drink moderately. Otherwise you won’t be able to drive properly.]

[No worries. After all, Mimir here can replace me.]

Only then, Mimir who had been looking cute all this time showed a face of confusion. But it can be considered as the Queen’s decree after all.

She glanced at me, her face turned ugly,

[Certainly. I shall do my best in the driving after this, please relax and enjoy your drinking session.]

[Good girl! Un un.]

Like an obedient maid, Mimir gave priority to entertain Eris’ wishes. The queen seemed satisfied with it.

That same queen is now stroking Mimir’s head with a smile on her face.

Just now, Mimir seemed to be signaling me for something. Speaking of which, she’s been stuck with Eris up until we arrived on Tetra.

She may have to endure listening to the rambling of that selfish queen while riding on the backseat.

That said, Mimir flashed me the fangs she used to use to suck blood.

Nn!? That means, she’ll need to suck some of my blood tonight.

She had sucked my blood recently, but already asking for more. But considering her mood for having to deal with Eris, I suppose it’s understandable.

When I whispered out a positive, Mimir’s expression instantly turned bright.

[Well then, it’s decided. Our lunch today will be meat dishes!]

[ [ [ Yes! ] ] ]

Un, I’m gonna lose quite a lot of blood tonight. So better be prepared and eat a lot.

We entered the tavern following Roxy’s direction, and suffice to say, it was crowded and lively with customers. There was no table left to sit on.

Seeing this problem, Eris sprang into action.

The enchantment of Lust Skill. I felt a little sorry for the group of customers on the table she approached.

[Can I have the table?]

[Yes! With pleasure!]

[Good boy. You sit there until my lunchtime is over. I’ll even let you watch as I eat my lunch.]

[Thank you!]

We’ll get into trouble with the tavern if we ended up in a scuffle with other customers, so Eris’ ‘peaceful’ method is actually commendable.

[Well now it’s empty, have a seat!]

[Sometimes it can be such a scary skill.]

[Right? Do you want to try it out? I’m always ready if you will.]

[Please don’t! We’re going to have a lunch here... I don’t want to have a nosebleed...]

[Too bad... If you have nothing to do at night, feel free to visit me anytime.]

Eris winked at me, thinking that she had won. The memory of when she put me into a hellish training to withstand Lust skill enchantment resurfaced in my head.

It’s not something I can completely endure up until now.

While I was sweating cold here, the dishes we ordered arrived. Only Eris ordered a fish dish, while the rest of us picked meat dishes.

I ordered a standard royal beef steak. Meanwhile Mimir and Roxy had chicken steaks with herbal seasonings and stew with lots of milk.

Making a different from the rest vibe was the huge grilled fish in front of Eris.

[Can you really eat all that?]

[Un, no worries. And I’ll have the best wine you have in store!]

With a clap of hands, the waitresses came with bottles of wine in hand. They then set all up around the grilled fish dish.

It’s like we are going to have a banquet here

[Wonderful! Fate want to drink as well?]

[I’ll pass. I still have something to do after this, so I can’t drink.]

[Nn? Where are you going?]

[A certain grave. I want to confirm something. I should already return by tonight.]

[I see... too bad. I’ll be drinking alone then... Since Roxy and Mimir don’t drink... how lonely.]

She gulped down the wine as she said that. I guess she’s already content with starting the banquet alone.

Roxy and Mimir seemed to be in high anticipation since they rarely ate outside of the capital. Cutting the chicken meat and dipping it into the sauce before bringing it into their mouth. Then slurping the stew with spoon.

Each one praised on how delicious the food was, then discussed over lunch about what we shall eat next.

It appeared that the two are getting along well. The Heart family and the Burix family weren’t necessarily on good terms with each other in the past, but I guess that didn’t matter anymore.

Well then, let’s not wait until the steak gets cold. I cut it with the knife, and used the fork to bring the cutlet into my mouth.

[NNnnnnnn!!]

The grilling is masterful! Lots of gravy!

So delicious it felt great!!

As I happily ate my steak, with a heavy drinker sitting next to me, I noticed a group of warriors entering the tavern.

They seemed strong at glance. And judging from their equipment, they must be advanced level warriors.

Seeing that the tavern is fully loaded, those guys came towards our table.

[Oi, you, the one over there. How nice, huh? Being young, but surrounded by beauties! We are hungry here. Can you go away?]

[Hahahaha, that’s right. As the leader say.]

[Move, you lowlife.]

Apparently he wanted to kick me out of the table so that he could eat alongside the girls. What a huge daredevil he is.

Ignorance sometimes bring great misfortune.

I’ll just give him some advice.

[Stop it. You should stop spouting nonsense.]

[What the hell!? Do you know who we are? Have you never heard about us?]

[Whatever. I don’t care anymore, okay?]

[Hahaha, I’ll see what you can do to us.]

Listening to those words, the girls stood up from their seats.

Roxy won’t allow this kind bullying. As for Mimir, she’s been holding on great amount of frustration from having to deal with Eris for quite a while.

And Queen Eris is just a tad bit annoyed that her fun drinking session was disturbed.

To be honest... I don’t know how to stop them.

Taking the representative role, Eris beckoned them in with a smile.

[Did you say that you want to see what we can do to you people?]

[Oooh, for real? Great!]

[Well then, we’ll just bother the other customers here, follow me.]

[Let’s go, guys! See ya, young ilk. Enjoy your steak alone!]

Following Eris’ invitation, the warriors exited the tavern in glee. In less than a minute, the girls returned back to their seat.

[Humm~, those guys are troublemakers.]

[I agree. So there are still people like them among the warriors.]

[How refreshing. Let’s continue our lunch!]

[ [ Un! ] ]

They sat around the table as though nothing had happened. What the hey... the great feeling that was brought by the delicious steak disappeared in a poof.

That’s why I told them earlier. Don’t disturb their meal time, it’s dangerous.

This reminded me of when Myne was angry... I felt like I’m always surrounded by troublesome women.
