Gumi: This is going to be one of those big delete chapters, Gumi could feel it. Out with the [5]!

[8]

“So that’s Brixt? As expected of a dungeon city, it’s quite huge.”

“We’re finally here, even though we could have been here earlier,” [7] grumbled Fer.

“Stop that, you have to take me into consideration when it comes to travelling time!”

[8]

In fact, I’m pretty sure if Fer had gone faster, I’d most likely have peed on him out of fear and anxiety. [6] That would create a separate problem in and of itself.

In fact, we arrived here from Carelina in just 3 weeks. Normally, it would take a carriage two months to reach here.

[8] ““Enough about that, let’s go! The dungeon awaits us!”” [7] Dora-chan crowed.

[8] “Mu, that’s right. We’re finally going to a high-difficulty dungeon. I plan to have great fun.” [3] Eyes glittering, Fer stepped forward, towards the walls of the city. [6] Away from the line that snaked out from the city entrance.

“Hold it! Hold it! Hold it!” [7] I shouted at my two familiars.

They looked at me disgruntledly.

“What is it?”

“”Yeah, what is it? We’re finally going to the dungeon, right?””

“No, I mean, you two are ignoring the line and planning to jump right into the city, aren’t you? You can’t do that.”

“Gununu…”

[8]

“”Tsch, must we really line up?”

“Yes, you know you should.”

“It takes too much time to line up just to enter a city. I had only been doing so because master ordered it. Otherwise, I, a great Fenrir, would never have done it.”

“So? You’re saying that as a Fenrir you can just come and go as you like?”

“Of course, it’s not like those puny humans could stop me,” [3] Fer just stood there, his expression proud, and very much in keeping with his identity as The Legendary Beast Fenrir.

I sighed.

[8] “Fer, do you want to go to war with this country? If you just jump in without following their procedures, the country will declare you an enemy of the state and never allow you access to the dungeon.”

“Mumu…”

[8] ““Humph, it’s not like anyone could stop me if I want to sneak in, right?”” declared Dora-chan. “”I can just fly over the wall and be inside just like that!””

I sighed again. [5]

Time to use logic to suppress these two.

[8] “Fer, Dora-chan, have you seen other beings that looked like you in any of the cities we have been to? You stand out too much, anyone would know you’ve entered illegally. Even if the soldiers can’t chase you out, they won’t let you into the dungeon. In fact, if you’re declared an enemy of the country, you wouldn’t be allowed inside the country, let alone the dungeon inside the country.”

“Gu…”

“Therefore, it’s best to just line up properly. It will take a little time, but formal procedures are there for a reason. Once we’re in, we can explore the dungeon to your heart’s content.”

My two familiars grumbled, but they eventually made their way to the end of the line and lined up properly like good citizens.

[8] When others on the line saw them, there was a bit of fuss, but I managed to placate most of them by proclaiming, “Hello, hello, these are my familiars! Haha…”

Anyway, there was a rather wide gap between my party and the others lining up for the gate. [1] When we finally arrived at the gate, a high-ranking soldier came up to greet us nervously, “Welcome to the City of Brixt. Please, enjoy your stay.”

Looks like word from the Royal Palace had reached here as well.

“”Aruji~ dungeon~?”

Looks like my Sui-tan is also very excited about going to the dungeon.

“Hmm, it’s a bit too late today. Tomorrow, I’ll be busy cooking and making travel food for our trip. So, we’ll go the day after tomorrow.”

“Nanu?! Even if we can’t go today, why did it have to be two days from now?”

“”Yeah! Yeah! We’ve arrived, so let’s goo!!!”” [5] [4] “Well, it took us a long time to pick out a house and …”

[9] I rented a huge 15LDK house for 100 gold per week. It can’t be helped since the dungeon is said to be quite profitable, which resulted in many teams of Adventurers coming in to stay. I got the mansion because the price was too ridiculous for most people. I justify the rent by thinking of it as a way to revitalize the economy.

“Tomorrow! Just go tomorrow!” [5]

“”Yeah! We’re already in the city, let’s just goo! [5]””

“”Sui wants to go to the dungeon soon~~””

[8]

“Hmm, but, you know? Once we enter the dungeon, we can’t get out quickly. [5] So, what should we do about food? What should I do when you all complained about bad food?”

“Gu… that’s true, but… just make it in the dungeon! Don’t you have lots of meat?”

“”Yeah! Make it in the dungeon!!”” [5]

“I could, but I won’t be able to use [Net Super] without exposing myself in front of the other Adventurers. Unless you all are fine with food that isn’t as tasty, and don’t require the [Net Super]…” [5]

““Absolutely not! I want delicious food even in the dungeon!””

“”Sui too~!””

“[5] Humph, if you’re afraid of being seen, isn’t it a simple thing to just make food in a location with no other people? It’s a difficult dungeon, surely there are bound to be plenty of such places.”

“”Yeah! What Fer says! I can fly around and scout for a people-free place too!””

Sui suddenly bounced on top of Fer’s head and declared, “”Sui wants to go to the dungeon soon~!””

“Haahhh… yes, fine, alright. We’ll go to the dungeon tomorrow. Happy now?”

“Umu, of course.”

“”Ou! Yes!!””

“”Dungeon~ dungeon~””

My familiars were all expressing their joy [5] in their own way even as I sighed.

“Right, now that it’s been decided. Let’s eat something good. That’s right, feed us Other World food. I will become stronger from Other World food.”

“Rejected.”

“Whaat? Why?!”

“You are all overpowered already, I don’t want to think of a world with three overpowered battle maniacs running around.”

There was a series of awws, and pouting. However, I refused to give in. Sui, I won’t give in even if you tremble at me like that. [5a]

I sighed, “I can’t give you Other World food, but how about something meaty that will give you plenty of energy instead?”

Fortunately, I still have plenty of meat from Rosendal’s meat dungeon.
