Chapter 57.2
Side Story - Chapter 2 - The Power of Civilization is Amazing
※ This story is the story of Tatsuyoshi Kenji, 600 years ago .
◎ Leysin city, Sesu Inn
「Master, wake up . 」
Tatsuyoshi’s slave Mintia woke up early in the morning .
「Ah, is it already morning?」
Rather than saying already, it was quite late in the morning .
「I wish to eat . 」
「There’s leftovers from yesterday in the refrigerator . 」
「Can’t it only be opened by Master?」
「Ah, that’s right, I shut it . Sorry . 」
Stifling a yawn, Tatsuyoshi got off the bed and opened the fridge .
「Un, there is some stew . Would you like me to microwave it with some cheese and rice?」
「Good, microwave is good, microwave is really good . 」
「Please stop repeating that word . 」 [TL note: チン is slang for microwave, so he’s telling her not to repeat it because チンチン = penis . Yes, it’s a dick joke]
Mintia tilted her head in confusion at Tatsuyoshi’s words . Tatsuyoshi put the rice and stew together in a bowl and placed some cheese on top before putting it in the square microwave . Mintia brought her face next to the box and smiled as she watched the contents spin round and round .
Several minutes later he opened the box; the cheese was melted and the steaming stew was ready to eat .
「It’s delicious, Master . 」
「It is, isn’t it . It makes you understand the value of civilization . 」
「It’s also so hot outside today . The power of civilization truly is amazing . 」
It seemed like Mintia was in high spirits because of the rumbling box installed overhead that was blowing cold air into the room . At the end of the room was an item that appeared to be a massage chair . A refrigerator with a freezer and an oven were also installed .
There was no TV, but he could open the MOD tool window and fiddle with the environment as much as he liked . It was an almost perfect space for Tatsuyoshi .
By the way, half a year had passed since Tatsuyoshi was dropped into this other world . Although Tatsuyoshi had a slave contract with Mintia he did not want to make her do anything as his slave, but rather wanted to help Mintia whose spirit had been crushed by various things, so he registered at the adventurer's guild and started living and working in the city of Leysin located in the north of the Menshiana autonomous territory .
As for Mintia, it was apparent from the brightness of her face how much she had recovered . Various things happened during this half a year . They talked about many things which were not enjoyable to talk about, but due to Tatsuyoshi's dedicated attendance, she had recovered to a level where she was not hindered in daily life . However, when Tatsuyoshi leaves, there is a tendency to become mentally unstable and she has trouble going outside by herself . And Tatsuyoshi was a person with a self-professed communication disorder, so he also didn’t want to go outside . Therefore, the two of them lived a shut-in life . The great adventure was not beginning at all .
「Mintia . Unfortunately, we’re going to have to leave the house and do some work today . 」
「Are we out of money?」
「We’re out of money . We have been staying home a lot recently . 」
Tatsuyoshi does not want to go outside if he can help it . It's cool in here, hot out there, he’s not good at being seen by people, and he just wants to relax and remodel items .
「We cannot live without money . That is the sad truth . 」
「That’s unfortunate . Perhaps if master didn’t eat so much food . . . 」
「I have no regrets . 」
「Why are you saying such unhealthy things in the morning?」
The door opened with a bang and a girl with red hair entered the room .
「You’re going to have to pay your rent soon . 」
「Uwa, the air coming from outside is hard to breathe . 」
Mintia took a pose as if to block the incoming hot air with both hands .
「I would say instead that it is too cold in here, Mintia-chan」
「Shara, don’t say such things while positioning yourself directly in front of the air conditioner」
「It's fine, isn’t it? It's hot . You're being stingy . 」
Shara made herself at home while saying things like 「Ah . . . cold air…」
The oven, air conditioner, massage chair and so on appeared not long ago . These were created by Tatsuyoshi with MOD tool . He was just playing around when he made them, but they turned out to be quite useful . However, there were some restrictions on his creations .
「They will not activate unless I do it . 」
Only the owner was capable of activating them . Although transfer was possible, it required the registration of a sufficiently high level quest, which had to be done by the other party . Frankly speaking, only a player that had achieved level 100 would be capable of completing the quest, so it was virtually impossible to transfer to an ordinary person like Shara .
「Is there some way I could have one?」
「It’s impossible, it's a matter of specifications . 」
「It is inconvenient that it will not work without Tatsuyoshi . 」
To be precise, if Tatsuyoshi fills them with magical power the air conditioner will work for seven hours while the refrigerator will last a week, as long as it is closed . But if he’s going out to battle for work he cannot use his magical power so wastefully .
「I think it will last for about an hour more, after which you’ll just have to endure . 」
「Ah, I have to go work anyway, so I can’t stay . 」
By the way, he also created a fan with less magical power consumption .
「And so the usual thing has arrived」
Shara handed an envelope to Tatsuyoshi .
「Thank you . I was looking forward to this . 」
