Ore Dake Kaereru Kurasu Teni - Chapter 22

Chapter 22

“Well…”

I go to an MD burger resturant as Hagisawa requested . The M sign is a prominent landmark . Recently, MDs have been losing customers due to repeated scandals, but even so, you occasionally get an irresistible craving for a MD burger . Although it’s pretty expensive and not very friendly to the wallets of students, it’s good once in a while .  

“Welcome! What will be your order?”
“Five orders of the MD burger set please . It’s to go . ”
“Yes . Would you like to order nuggets as well?”
“No . That’ll be all this time . ”
“Understood-”

I place an order with the friendly part-time clerk and pay . The nuggets were a small problem though . Hagisawa hadn’t said to order any . Well, once I receive my order, I’ll return to Shigenobu’s workshop .

“Five orders of the MD burger set-”
“Ah, yes . ”

I receive the bag with the order inside . Both of my hands are full . I am burdened with carrying everything .  

…It all feels light . To tell the truth, I was part of the go-home club, and wasn’t very muscular . I shouldn’t have the strength to carry this much…perhaps Lvs have an effect in Japan as well? We~ll, I’m not really sure about it, but this is a nice side benefit .  

Currently, I’m Lv 5 . I’m surprised that reaching Lv 5 changed me this much . Up until now, I’ve only used my strength in the other world, so I’ve never really been able to feel the difference .

Incidentally… upon entering a stall in a public bathroom, I immediately activated my ability and picture Shigenobu’s workshop . Honestly, I want clairvoyance . It’s scary being unable to see the details .  

Before long, the hourglass runs out and I return to the other world . Exterminating mamono by day and now shopping…just how the heck did I end up living a life like this…?

Zuu, the teleportation finishes and I arrive . My feet appear so close to the ground, I’m afraid they’ll get caught inside of it .

“I’m back . ”
“Welcome back, but it kinda sounds like you went somewhere . What happened?”

For some reason, Shigenobu is looking towards the door of his workshop . He is stuffing the dismantled parts of an unfamiliar mamono into a bag . It kinda feels as if Taniizumi and the others have just come by . Oh shoot! A place we could act without being exposed is this place .

“I just went outside for a bit . ”
“Ah, I see… there’s a nice smell . ”


“You noticed? I finished the order from Japan . ”
“Ohh!”

I look around . Hagisawa, Minori-san, and Meguru-san aren’t present .  

“Calm down . ”
“I’ll call the others, so keep it hidden . ”
“Okay . ”

Shigenobu closes the workshop’s windows and leaves . Everyone soon show their faces, starting with Hagisawa . Shigenobu carefully checks the outside, closes the window again, and opens the bag with the MD burger sets that I had hidden .

“Ohhhhhh!”

Hagisawa lets out a cry . All of us raise a finger to our lips, and Hagisawa lowers his head as an apology . He then unwraps his meal bag set, stuffs his face with fries, and smells his burger .

“It’s not a lie… you’re not using an ability to make this look like that, right?”
“Am I a tanuki?!”

Well, the cognitive obstruction due to the world transfer is something like that after all .

“Don’t worry . I ordered it… from Japan, so eat to your heart’s content . ”

I’ve already eating some fries by the time I say that . Hagisawa isn’t the only one, even Shigenobu and Minori-san are swallowing down their saliva . Well, even if someone were to say it doesn’t taste bad, they’ve only been eating the mysterious corpses of mamono day after day . They don’t know how to feel . I nod and they all whisper in unison .

“““Itadakimasu!”””

This scene of them devouring their food… Ah, everyone is starved for Japanese products . While everyone’s entranced with eating, I take the money in my wallet and converted it into points . Oh, that consumed a fair amount of magical power . I’ll ask Minori-san replenished it for me later .  

“Ku…This might be the best thing I’ve eaten until now!”

“That’s right . It’s been a while since we’ve had something this tasty . Especially because we’ve just been trying to survive . ”

“Yeah, it’s so delicious . But, even though this is good, I really want to eat rice . ”

Minori-san, also with a satisfied look on her face, makes a suggestion .

“Is something like that not possible? What about onigiri from a convenience store? Could we order a bento and warm it up?”
“This time, can we ask you to get rice? Already cooked if possible . ”
“Cooking-… wouldn’t that expose us?”

Shigenobu answers in response to Meguru-san’s comment . Then, ignoring what had just been discussed, Hagisawa says .  

“Can you buy games?”

No, a game… Hagisawa, you…

“Well, it’s not that I can’t buy it but…”
“In the first place, can one even be charged?”

I think one can be charged . I just need to bring it home with me and charge it with the charger .  

“Setting aside the matter of the food, games will be problematic . ”
“Yeah, wouldn’t such a luxurious items be better once you actually have the leeway for it?
“I think so, too . ”

As expected, Shigenobu and Meguru-san put out their own objections too . Well, looks like it won’t be possible to buy a game at this point in time .

“What we’re doing right now is already like a game-!”

No, that might have been intended as a joke, but I can’t laugh . Everyone has faint smile . Hagisawa does as well . You said it yourself, so don’t get depressed .

“Yukinari, are there any weapon dictionaries or blacksmithing books? As we get more materials to make more equipment, those kinds of books might be useful . ”
“Understood . I’ll try ordering some . ”

Certainly, there’s a chance that the number of weapons Shigenobu can make will increase in proportion to his knowledge . I’ll check the bookstore later .  

“That said, MD burgers are the best!”

Hagisawa declares while clapping his hands together after finishing his meal .

“I want to eat it tomorrow too . ”
“Ah, I withdrew your money using your bank cards… and converted it . I’ll give half to Shigenobu and half to Hagisawa . ”

I sent a request to exchange points with the two of them . This is the most points we’ve ever had .  

“Oh!”
“If you want anything, just send me points and tell me . I’ll order it for you . ”
“Arigatou[1]! Just… this is a lot of points . With just this much, I can make a decent amount of equipment . ”
“The metal turtle material as well?”

Shigenobu nods in response to my question . Rather, how many points did you need last time for making metal turtle equipment?

“However, if I’m using the metal turtle material, the limit is one . ”
“Do we have the points for that?”

Certainly, one hundred thousand points is trivial . It’s the result of converting everyone’s savings . By the way, that includes my own savings too .

“Ah, I think I’ll search around after this and try to order a crossbow or something . ”
“Oh yeah, I see the MD burger, but did you buy the items I requested?”

I give a silent thumbs up .

“I put it in that box . Check it . ”

Shigenobu and the others all start to search for the things .

“Yeah, if we just have this… a crossbow might be useful . How much do you need?”
“Eetto . . . ”

It should be fine to say twenty thousand, right? I hold two fingers up and receive twenty thousand points from Shigenobu and Hagisawa .  

“Getting provisions from Japan are difficult to get and it take a while . I’ll need some time . ”
“Got it… in any case, the more complex structures cost more points . Yukinari, I’ll leave it to you . ”
“Yeah . ”

Well, we leave the day’s harvest of points with Shigenobu and resume our meal .

“There’s one left over… Yukinari-kun didn’t eat?”

Meguru-san asks after seeing the last paper bag . Actually, Hagisawa seems to be eyeing it . Though I bought five portions on the spur of the moment, thinking about it, I didn’t really need one .

“I’m fine, anyone who’s still hungry can have it . ”
“Then I’ll–”

Meguru-san lightly slaps away Hagisawa’s extended hand and holds the bag out to me .

“No! Yukinari-kun needs to eat . ”
“I’m fine though . ”

I’m just going to go home and eat the dinner my parents prepared after this… but I can’t say that . They’re worried about me .  

“Actually, I’d be happier if Meguru-san or Minori-san, who’ve been working nonstop today, ate it instead . ”
“The one who’s been working nonstop is Yukinari-kun . ”

Meguru-san seems to have become sullen .

“That’s right . Yukinari needs to eat . You’ve been so busy, you’ve completely forgotten . ”

Ah-… with how this is developing, I have to eat it . It can’t be helped .

“Okay . ”

I accept the bag with the MD burger in it and eat it in front of everyone . Well, if it’s just a burger, it’s more like a snack . I can probably burn the calories by walking a little… I’m not on a calorie diet .
