The Great Sword is not the Main Body!-Chapter 83: Sorry
There must be so many things I’m curious about, but Rubia just sat there without opening her mouth.
“Let’s go.”
“...Huh?”
“Let’s go, outside.”
“Suddenly?”
“Yes.”
She ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ went out while I was washing up and came back, the atmosphere had completely changed.
“But there’s nothing to do right now, right?”
“It’s okay. When I looked around, there were quite a few places open for business. Even if they were all closed, if you sell my name, they’ll probably open them. And Noah is a hero who saved Urspher, so if he can’t even do that, then he’s... he’s a bad person.”
Hero.
I snickered at the word that didn’t suit me at all.
“Then... um... shall we go?”
“Yes.”
Only then did Rubia smile as if she was satisfied and open the door wide.
I quickly got up from my seat, covered my appearance completely with the princess’ robe that was draped over the sofa, and then took a step forward.
The great sword was left leaning against the sofa.
The Urspherian scenery that I came to see that way was romantic if I said it positively, and a mess if I said it negatively.
The buildings had collapsed, the flat streets were torn up in many places... The corners of the shops where the embers were still burning and smoke was rising, and the food and items were frozen solid.
The cause of the biggest mess among all of these was... Yuria’s plants.
It was a complete jungle.
Starting with the thousands of stems that were barely holding up the collapsing building, there were roots, flower petals, and weeds that had burst through the ground.
On the messy floor, unknown grasses were blooming here and there, and now even butterflies were flying around.
A scene you would see if you went to an ancient ruin that had been abandoned for a long time.
But, there’s nothing I can do.
Since the Tyrant’s followers would have poured out in droves.
Wouldn’t it be better for the building to collapse than to die?
So those smiling faces would be clearing away the rubble or repairing the collapsed building.
“What should I eat?”
While I was thinking about this and that in the awkward silence, Rubia spoke first.
I looked around.
There were only a few restaurants open.
Even those restaurants seemed busy delivering food to the people in charge of cleaning up the town.
“Um... Anywhere quiet is fine.”
Of course, there were foods that came to mind... but I didn’t want to bother going into a store and causing trouble.
I don’t know if they’ll be open or not.
“Then, can I go to a place I want to eat?”
“Yeah. Okay.”
I nodded and followed Rubia.
And that’s how the awkward silence came again.
Without wasting that time, I quietly observed the magic power inside my body.
I spit out all the useless and dirty magic power and only stored up the magic power I needed.
When I was gone, I had to leave only enough for ‘me’ to use without any problems.
The more magic power the better, but if it becomes too much, my body will explode!
It’s especially dangerous in a case like this.
The people in the group probably didn’t know, but if you pour the elixir like that on a body like ‘me’ with no magic power, it’s impossible to handle.
What would you have done if I wasn’t here? Oh my.
Still... I felt proud because I think ‘me’ in this life lived a pretty good life.
But it also hurt a little.
A little too much.
Tsk.
Why are you thinking such narrow-minded thoughts?
I shook my head and finished what I was doing.
I accepted the magic power of the complete elixir as it was. The imperfect magic power of the elixir made by Yuria is spit out.
The magic power that has already been absorbed... can't be helped.
The height reduction won't have much of an effect at this stage, so it's not a problem.
Intelligence... intelligence... won't fall any further.
I don't know how well the arrangements that Rubia made, which I asked for, are going...
But since she hasn't completely accepted this world yet, she can definitely improve.
Well... it's only a matter of time before that breaks.
I'm starting to see the end of the magic power refinement.
Since I caught Tylant and went down...
I started in broad daylight, but if I look at it as the sun starts to set...
It took quite a while.
It was messy, so I guess there's nothing I can do.
Now there's one thing left to clean up.
Let's do that... before my consciousness fades away.
"We've arrived."
I looked up at the sign.
"Huh?"
Daytime in Seolsan.
Th𝓮 most uptodate nov𝑒ls are publish𝒆d on ƒreewebηoveℓ.com.
The fried rice sold here is incredibly delicious.
The homemade jelly sold as dessert is also amazing.
“Why? It’s not that good?”
Out of all of them, the one I wanted to eat the most.
A restaurant that sells special strawberry juice.
And.
The restaurant where I first ate with Rubia.
“No... It’s really, really good.”
The Ursphere world I lived in was destroyed by Tyrant.
That avalanche that I had caused.
Starting with that, countless of my followers killed people and destroyed buildings.
In the end, it completely collapsed due to Tyrant’s direct attack.
So I thought I wouldn’t be able to eat there again.
“Thank goodness. Should I go in right away?”
“Uh, yeah. Let’s go.”
I walked over a step ahead and opened the door.
Clang-
The interior was shabby but clean.
A quiet atmosphere. A kitchen that emits sweet, salty, delicious smells.
And when I was blind, I saw the menus of stores I didn’t know about.
In my memory, the mornings in the snowfield were extremely messy and noisy.
The smell was filled with the scent of alcohol and the sweat of adventurers, and the atmosphere was also fierce.
I enjoyed that atmosphere quite a bit.
Others might think it’s crazy.
But to me, that kind of noise was very precious.
It’s a bit of a shame that it doesn’t exist now.
But that’s okay.
If I can see, feel, and recall it like this... it doesn’t matter.
“Where should I sit?”
Seat.
Seat is important.
There’s always a seat I sit in.
“Over there, in the right corner!”
I always preferred the corner because I didn’t want to be noticed by people.
I liked wearing a robe like now and eating quietly in a corner.
“That’s nice.”
Dododo- ran and sat down on the seat.
The chair was so hard that my butt hurt.
And it was so high that my legs couldn't touch the ground.
But these are so good.
I'm glad.
As my mood got higher, my legs that were swinging in the air shook even faster.
Dreureuk- Rubia sat down, dragging her chair, and quietly looked up at the menu.
I don't even need to look.
It's already been decided.
And... I wanted to recommend a menu that Rubia would like too.
For some reason, I didn't feel like it, so I left it alone.
Since the world has changed, Rubia must have changed too.
It's not the Rubia I know.
"Did Noah choose everything?"
"Yeah. Rubia?"
"I've chosen everything, so I'll go order. What would you like?"
“I’ll have French toast, chicken breast fried rice... and special strawberry juice!”
Rubia tilted her head after hearing my order.
“This store doesn’t have strawberry juice?”
“Huh...?”
She immediately looked up and scanned the menu.
Strawberry juice... strawberry juice...
There really isn’t any.
And there isn’t even jelly.
Oh... no.
There is. I definitely ate it...
Is this... the butterfly effect or something...?
“Hmm... I guess there’s nothing I can do. Then, I’ll just have toast and fried rice without the strawberry juice...”
It’s a little depressing... but where can I have toast and fried rice?
“Oh, right. What should I drink... milk!”
“Milk... Hehe... Okay. I’ll order and come back.”
While Rubia went to order, I scanned the menu again.
A little more carefully.
But I still couldn't find strawberry juice.
The same goes for jelly...
That... sweet and sour, yet chewy and chewy strawberry pulp... I wanted to feel that happiness.
It's a shame.
It's so, so sad...
"Ugh..."
"Is it that sad? They sell it somewhere else. Let's go eat it and have some dessert."
Rubia, who had already finished ordering, came back and comforted me.
"Ugh... Okay."
It didn't get any better though.
Of course, strawberry juice from other places is delicious too.
It's not as good as here...
But what can I do when it's not there?
I let go of my regret and thought about the meal that would come soon, raising my tension.
"What did Rubia choose?"
The Rubia I know.
In the basil cream pasta-
"I'm in the basil cream pasta."
Adding beef and baguette...
“I ordered beef and baguette.”
“Ah...”
It’s the same.
“Why?”
“Uh. No. Has Rubia been here before?”
“Yes. Yes. I’ve been here before when I was doing missionary work. I came here after being recommended, and the food was okay. The atmosphere... wasn’t that great, though.”
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
A story I heard.
“And, one interesting thing is... the foods Noah chose were the foods I had first tried.”
Rubia, because you recommended them to me.
“Yeah. That’s interesting.”
Rubia stares at my face after hearing my answer.
“It’ll be delicious.”
“...Yeah.”
“I don’t know if my food will suit Noah’s taste either... but try it.”
It’s delicious.
Putting meat on a baguette and dipping it in sauce.
I’ve had it a lot.
“Okay.”
I turned my head away, feeling a little uncomfortable with the staring gaze.
Then.
Dalgrak-
The bearded old man put down a cute cup that didn’t match the table.
Strawberry juice.
“Huh...?”
“This is our store’s special strawberry juice. It’s not on the menu, but it’ll taste good.”
“Wh, why did you give it to me all of a sudden?”
His beard moved.
He seemed to be smiling.
“My daughter likes it.”
“...Oh, I see.”
The first time, a drink came out like this out of nowhere.
I thought Rubia had ordered it, so I drank it without thinking at her suggestion.
Since I was blind, I couldn’t read the menu.
So after that, I naturally ordered it.
Every time, Rubia would say yes and order for me.
And the strawberry juice came out with the food. Of course as if.
Black hair and red eyes.
And... because of the bad rumors.
I was ostracized as a devil, a monster.
He took care of me.
This old man.
Slowly lifted the cup and poured it to his lips.
It tasted exactly like in my memory.
“It tastes good.”
“Hehe, that’s a relief.”
“...Thank you, thank you.”
“I’m the one who should be grateful. Thank you for protecting this store... Ursphere.”
The old man bowed deeply.
“...Yes.”
I didn’t look.
I felt like the emotions I had suppressed would spill out.
I felt like I would be left with regret.
I felt like I would become greedy.
I turned my head and just sipped the juice.
It was so.
Sweet.
