Chapter 277 Part 2
Chapter 277: It’s supposed to be ingested, so putting it in your eyes instead of the mouth will result in an injury despite being part of medical treatment. Part 2
However, the Shrimp probably doesn’t want to part with the orphans as well. She fit in pretty nicely, size-wise.
「With everyone gone, they’d probably start crying again, after all, until now, the kids had no one to rely on until now, having only each other for support. They must want someone they can depend on. I mean, they are still so small.」
「No, it’s not like the size is that diffe… Nevermind. I didn’t say anything, and although I definitely do think that the orphans are not only about to catch up but also to overtake some of the present here, grow big and tall, or rather, if you are clearly going to lose, might as well go horizontal! Horizontal growth has infinite potential, but it might also come with a giant future where hip-up is no longer enough to support it? Sort of?」
The small animal (Shrimp) is the intimidation mode. If I tried to reach out my hand to her, saying that there is nothing to be afraid of, she’ll probably bite it. Moreover, she is definitely the type of a small animal to never let go once she bites!
「I’m still in the growth period, I’m about to get a sexy dynamite body! I’m going to be big! I don’t want to get horizontally big(fat) though!」
「Nah, 『Growth』 aren’t going to cut it, you probably should consider taking a skill along the lines of 『Metamorphosis』, 『Transformation』, or 『Mutation』…Like, I mean, it’s a different world after all? I’m sure 『Transformation』 is the growth fitting for another world, and when you get big, you might even unlock R18 rated combination moves, so go for Fortress-class, hear my~ voice～♪」[1]
I got bitten.
Looks like she didn’t like 『Metamorphosis』[2]? Well, it’s not like I like it either? I mean, if I got 『Metamorphosis』 in my status and on top of that Race:Human went ciao and another race went bonjour, then my already widely suspicious race question would blow up for real, making Affection Rating flee, and devolving into an crisis that will be televised across the entire universe.
And they are finally back.
「Armored Pres-san, welcome back~. Are the Rerorero old man’s little sister and the Confederation alright? Ah~, I’m glad nothing happened to them. Were you to be discovered, not only would’ve that put the little sister in danger, but it also could have led to obliteration with a morning star smash of the already divided from the economic attack Confederation, making all of my economic warfare useless, so I was really worried? Mainly for the Confederation? 」
「I’m… home?… Brought… her.」
Going through the last night was really painful, so if I could, I would’ve liked to PURGE Armored Pres-san’s armor right away, and bringing her in the most immodest state DIVE into the room, continuing with going DEEP INTO THE Armored Pres-san, but apparently, treating the little sister comes first? Yeah, I’ll behave myself, so please don’t grab me by the nape? I’m not a kitten, you know? I wouldn’t mind if someone grabbed my very very lost Affection Rating-san like that and brought it home, but it’s currently missing and WANTED, Alive or Alive, but does everyone really need to glare and hurry me like this? It’s a simple job of stuffing a mushroom into a girl’s mouth, does it really have to be me? Rather, I feel like a highschool boy putting a mushroom into a sick girl’s mouth, saying that it’s a cure, might be problematic by itself? I’m still going to do it though.
「Nice to meet you. You are Haruka-san, right? I’m Wismregzero’s sister, Erailia. I’ve been told of what happened. I apologize for the idiocy of my older brother. Not only was I causing trouble, unaware of what was going on, but even my brother caused a great inconvenience. I’m so sorry.」
Oh, turns out, she is a real beauty. Perhaps due to her illness, she gives off a somewhat sickly and fading impression, however, she has clearly beautiful features, and an air of intelligence which leaves absolutely no doubt that she is 100% completely unrelated to Rerorero old man by blood. And also, since Rerorero old man is a dude I couldn’t care less, but the moment I noticed how pretty the little sister is, I realized, she is an elf? Like, she has pointy ears and stuff? No, I mean, why would I even look at some middle-aged man’s ears? If I actually saw them I would’ve chopped them off? I mean, ears, life, existence, are all things that have no significance or demand when it’s about middle aged men?
「Aah, in regards to the issue idiots being a giant nuisance, as much as I don’t want to get used to it, I’m already troubled by that on a daily basis, as the result the issue of idiots being a nuisance have blended into everyday life, so you don’t have to worry about that? To cover the cost of mushrooms and the nuisance fee the beauty reroreroing middle-aged brother was already sold off to Maid Girl at a huge profit. To think that dealing in middle-aged men could be that profitable, even the Magnate-san was surprised, but the middle-aged men stored in the basement still remain unsold. What do we do? Kind of?」
「「「You sold him?!」」」
「And not only didn’t he remember Wismregzero-san’s name to begin with, he had now also forgotten arbitrarily naming him McKenzie!」
「He only remembers the beauty rerorero by now, but how come Wismregzero sounds like beauty rerorero to him? Makes me really worried about Haruka-kun’s ears, or rather head, or rather humanity, or rather, I’m worried if he is even a human?」
By the end it sounded like a plain slander though? How come that mere treatment of a sick person develops into an issue where even my race is called into question? Whatever, treatment comes first.
I look. Using handy 『Rajingan』-san I observe closely and intently, conducting medical examination. Naturally, since it’s a pretty elf-san in a light nightdress, I look extra hard? Well, I have to establish a diagnosis.. Or rather, I actually knew it the very moment I saw her, but since I was told that I can look at her, how could I pass on a chance to look at lightly dressed beautiful elf-san, or rather, a wonderful Ero Elf-san, so of course I’m going to look, stare, gaze, feast my eyes on her super hard, and now, according to the reaction from 『Search』, I’m surrounded by enemies on all sides and in a big pinch, so let’s move on with the treatment.
「This is the same thing as the frontier’s disease, you know? I think it’s some sort of Magical Essence related sickness that can probably only be cured with mushrooms. But how did you get it when you were nowhere near the Frontier? No way, is it because the big brother is a middle-aged man, so his is emitting Magical Essence also known as elderly body odor, scattering around pandemical odor!? Aight, let’s exterminate the middle-aged man after all, and disinfect it with fire. I’m sure if we turned to ashes, the Magical Essence also known as the elderly body odor will perish from this world along with the middle-aged man, bringing peace and harmony to the world? Exterminative medical treatment~.」
「I’m not emitting any odor or magical essence! If you can save my sister I’ll do anything, I don’t care even if I’m to be sold off, but could you please not burn me to ashes?」
Apparently, he is not emitting it? Eeh, looks like I have to look for another reason to incinerate him. I feel like some nice idea would pop up if I gave it a thought after burning him, but apparently, I can’t do that?
「Well, this should be easily treatable with mushrooms, so my mushroom will be a simple and tasty cure? Here it comes, Eraraiaaan-san? Open your mouth~ here, take my mushroom, I’m putting it in. A mushroom is going into your mouth, so swallow it carefully? Kind of?」
「「「It’s not like it’s wrong, but you are making it sound really indecent, so please shut up and treat her without saying anything! Her face is bright red! Or rather, you shouldn’t make a maiden swallow the entire thing like that!」」」
It has immediate effectivity, and on top of restoring physical strength it also accelerates blood circulation, so blushing on the face is a good proof of it working, but for some reason, I got scolded? The angle?
「No? Is there a good or bad angle for feeding a mushroom? I’m just normally holding it from the underside, so there shouldn’t be any problem with the angle? Eh? And this mushroom belongs to me, so there is nothing wrong with calling it my mushroom? Or rather, if I was feeding her someone else’s mushroom it would’ve been a case for theft charges, and probably would’ve made her complicit in mushroom consumption without payment. Moreover, it has to be ingested, so where am I supposed to put it if not in her mouth! If I was stuffing it into her ears or eyes THAT would’ve been a problem and probably would’ve result into an injury despite being a treatment?! Actually, can you imagine how much it would hurt to thrust a mushroom into an eye? I never tried to put it into ears, but I suspect it wouldn’t be very effective against the illness, so where are you telling me to put Mushroom-san? I wonder~?」
Strangely, despite me treating the little sister, everyone’s faces turned red? Did everyone have their blood circulation improved? So it’s all good? Or, maybe, it’s a pandemic!
Well, the siblings are hugging each other. I also would’ve been happy to join in on hugs with the condition that it’s with the little sister only, but since I can hear the sound of sickle on chain spinning echoing through the room I’ll refrain from participation. Just how many sickles and chains did they acquire? Why instead of selling everyone is equipping them? But Armored Pres-san’s silent giant sickle and chain is the scariest!
Alright, time for dinner.
Let’s make a whole lot, the orphans and the little sister are underweight, lacking in nutrients. And as for the ONE MORE SET crowd, that has excessive nutri… Bloodthirst!
「It’s a misunderstanding! I don’t know what that it is but it is, so for now, let’s put away morning stars, and sickles and chains? I mean… No, I wasn’t looking at anything! I totally wasn’t looking at anyone’s belly! Even if someone thought that just because Armored Pres-san was absent yesterday, and you were lacking in ONE MORE SET, so the calories that weren’t burned down happily settled there, no one actually said anything, so there is no way anyone could hear the sound of your plump stomaaaah……(Smash! Stab! Crash! Slash!)」
It’s dinner… Can I survive?! Everyone, come and get your meals too? Kind of?
Notes
[TL Notes:
[1] Yes, mecha references. Considering voice and fortress part, probably macross reference.
[2] No, it has nothing to do with THAT Metamorphosis, in case you were wondering. In the original the pun is about 変態 (hentai) Which can be understood as Metamorphosis/transformation OR pervert. Haruka meant the former, but it still sounds the way it sounds.
