A Harem in the Fantasy World Dungeon Volume 6 Chapter 3 Part 18

As long as I don’t have to catch fish, I’m fine with chainmail, she says.」
She wouldn’t be able to swim properly with a heavy chainmail weighting her down, so that’s pretty obvious.
I pick some chainmails with Empty Skill Slots.
The moment I ask Miria to choose, she immediately points her finger at one of them.
「Is this one that good?」
「X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X.」
「The quicker we are done with this, the sooner I can get fish, she says.」
So fish is more important to her than armor that’s going to be the primary source of her safety on the battlefield? Well, all these chainmails are essentially the same, so I guess it doesn’t really matter all that much, so you don’t have to scold her for this, Roxanne.
After buying the Iron Shield and the Chainmail, we leave the Armor Shop.
Miria picks her clothes and other items of her use without wasting any moment.
Shopping with her is so easy, definitely much faster than shopping with Roxanne. However, I’m not too sure if it is going to be the same when we will finally go to the fishmonger.
「Is roasted white fish alright with you, Miria?」
I ask her before deciding on what to take. When Roxanne translated it to her, Miria nodded to me happily.
「It seems roasted white fish is going to be alright with her.」
「Roxanne, Sherry, since we’re already here, I want you to choose one item each beside roasted fish for today’s dinner.」
「In that case, I am going to prepare some soup.」
「And I think that I’m going to stir-fry something.」
It has been decided that Roxanne will make soup and Sherry will make stir-fried food. It’s Miria’s first day with us, after all, so we have to make sure that it is going to be a memorable one.
Miria looks at me with eyes burning up with fiery feelings. Has she fallen in love with me already? Because if so, then damn girl, that was a little bit too fast even for my standards.
「X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X.」
「She wants to thank you for the fish.」
I was able to figure that much myself, but thanks for informing me about it anyway, Roxanne.
After buying clothes, items of daily use and a Magic Crystal, we finally go buy fish from the fishmonger. Throughout the entire way over there, Miria sticks close to me and doesn’t let go for even a second, almost as if she was worried that I might actually change my mind and decide to go somewhere else, and she continued to stick to me like glue up until the moment when I received the white roasted fish from the old man Explorer behind the counter.
Oh, and by the way, I have finally found out why there’s a fishmonger in Quratar even though this place doesn’t have access to the sea at all. Supposedly, it’s because the White Fish is a Drop Item from one of the monsters that inhabit the Labyrinths that drops from some monster from the higher floors after you kill it, and because it is treated as a Drop Item from a monster instead of a regular item, it is possible for it to be carried in the Item Box. So taking that into consideration, I think that running a fishmonger, or any kind of store that sells food materials from monsters for that matter is a pretty good part-time or retirement fork for retired Explorers and Adventurers.
Because the man at counter of the shop is also a merchant, my thirty percent discount is going to be effective on him as well. That also means that rather than selling, sourcing seems to be the main part of the fishmonger’s business.
「Miria, can I ask you to fillet the fish?」
「X X X X X X X X X X X X X!」
「‘Leave it to me,’ she says.」
Uh-huh, sure.
Because she stuck her chest out proudly, I knew the answer before Roxanne translated it this time as well.
I only ever bought fish from the supermarkets, so I don’t know how to fillet it. Well, I don’t have to worry about procuring fish at least, for there’s a fishmonger right here in Quratar, saving me the trouble of going out of my way just to find it.
After buying ingredients for dinner, we return home where I start heating the bath, and as I was filling it up, I began to think about something.
Miria became a slave as punishment for violating a God’s sanctuary. As a result, she didn’t explicitly consent to becoming a sex slave like Sherry did. In this respect, she’s different from Roxanne and Sherry, and this bath is going to be our make-or-break moment.
If the worst comes to the worst, I’ll just use fish as bait for her. Forcing her into it, however, is the last resort that I would rather not employ. If possible, I want her to consent to it of her own volition. And in order to do that, we’ll first have to take bath together, one step at a time.
Taking a bath together won’t be a problem for she can’t deny her master’s order to wash his back. After that, we’ll have all the time in the world for ourselves.
It’s going to be fine, right? Yes, as long as I don’t force her to do it, everything should be a-okay. Now that the bed has been laid, there’s no turning back! Oh how I cannot wait unravel that buttons of hers…. I can’t endure it anymore! It’s going to be fine, right? Yes, yes it is!
「X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X !」
Miria starts making a fuss all of a sudden. I shrug in confusion and go out to see what the matter is.
Roxanne is apparently explaining something to her. Was she surprised because I was using Water Magic to fill the tub? Is that what the ruckus was all about? Was she surprised that I could do it? Or did she hear what I was thinking in the bathroom, by any chance?
「She says that it’s really amazing that you can also use magic.」
Miria looks at me with respect. *Phew…!* Thank God, she really didn’t hear my thoughts. Talk about a relief!
Miria has been making a fuss for a while but she seems to be convinced now, and the matter has been resolved without my intervention.
I’m grateful to whomever came up with the idea of delegating work to others.
After having used magic several times, I head to the kitchen. Miria was there together with Roxanne.
「This is a pot. Pot.」
「Pot.」
She seems to be learning Brahim language at her own pace, with Roxanne acting as she teacher. I am quite impressed.
「Roxanne, are you having any difficulties teaching Miria the Brahim Language?」
「No, not at all, master.」
「You are doing great. Keep it up, Miria!」
I pat the heads of the two and incidentally stroke their ears. Roxanne’s doggy ears and Miria’s cat ears.
Roxanne’s droopy ears are lovely, but Miria’s erect cat ears, have a certain type of irresistible cuteness to them as well.
「X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X.」
「She says that she will not eat a single fish if she does not learn at least one new Brahim word each day.」
Now that is curious, especially since I did not intend to employ any such rules, but oh well, it is not like this is a bad thing, so I think I am going to let it stay like that if that is what is going to be motivating her to work that much harder to Learn Brahim.
「She is not going to eat fish unless she learns at least one new Brahim word each day? Talk about self-sacrifice. Anyway, Roxanne, can I ask you to help me replenish my MP in the Labyrinth like usual?」
「Certainly.」
「Would you like to go with us as well, Miria?」
「That is a very good idea.」
Roxanne says something to Miria, and Miria nods in return at her. She seems to be willing to go with us after all.
Let us go then.
「I will stay here to keep watch over the house then.」
