Tsuki Ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu
Chapter 20: Ah ~ is this a restaurant close to the river? This isn't!

Clang * clang *

I, Raidou-san, was holding a knife and fork and eating certain foods.

Name! The glomp !! Name!….

Beside me, there was an elegant Japanese style beauty who only used a fork and savagely devoured the food in front of her.

I have to teach Mio some table manners.

I need to make him 'act' in times of need, at the very least. I really need to !!

Well ~ we attract attention.

Other than us, there doesn't seem to be anyone like adventurers around.

The people who are here are mostly guests who come to eat and I feel the quality of their customers is different compared to the adventurers.

I'll repeat it myself but, that damn kid. He sold us the most expensive package.

He led us in a scary way to a high-end restaurant that from the looks of it, could even have a dress code.

In the refugee camp, you know ?!

How fancy is this? That's what Makoto, Makoto is trying to think. (In a certain way sister*)

Misaka Misaka Ref

I wondered what food was going to come out and when I arrived at the table I saw knives and forks.

Heyhey, is that 'like' food coming out?

And that's exactly what happened.

So, with food that did not betray my expectations, I began to examine my surroundings.

It was filled with people who looked like royalty or merchants. I don't know if they are really nobles but I am impressed by how they can wear clothes that look difficult to move. This place was supposed to be a peak place for people who wanted to train themselves. It makes me question their sanity.

Even if the adventurers have money for it, I don't think they will come to a stuffy place like this.

Beautiful-looking food was scattered in every part of the place that could even be an eye freshener, and the black-haired person beside me by his lively way of eating, which I tried to think too much of.

Thanks to 'that person', I simply could not taste the first taste of decent food I received since arriving in this world. Not one bit.

Although I wanted to survey unnoticed, I was in a situation where everyone was watching us closely…

Of course, I used [Sakai] to complete my goal thoroughly. Counting the observations of Tomoe and the tailor.

In a measure that allows me to continue their conversation as well.

Well, how do I say it?

If Tomoe was here, she would most likely jump in excitement.

Shady conversations here, really a lot.

About weapons supplies or profit margins from foodstuffs, experiments, materials, etc.

Without a doubt, more than half of the people here were evil.

Saying it in the manner of a period drama judge, it would be 'How many parts are there?' * (TN: Absolutely not sure what he said. ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ )

I don't want to think that the rich \= is evil but, when the situation like this cannot be helped.

Could it be that from now on I will come to this kind of restaurant to gather information? I don't mind ~

“Waka-sama, this food, it tastes good but, isn't the amount too little?” (Mio)

Even when you stop the fork, the only thing on your mind is the food. What should I do with you Mio-san?

[N? This is not the kind of food that can be taken easily so there is nothing to do] (Makoto)

There were people watching so I wrote the words in front of my chest for Mio to see.

"It will be finished with just one bite" (Mio)

Mio really looks sad. Fish that may be smeared with a butter-like substance to enhance its aroma, that high-end food, is eaten in one bite.

It was just swallowed.

I see, it looks like the meuniere used for white meat. It has a scent that can be compared to butter but may be just 'a difference in the world'.

[That's why you should use a fork and knife like this and slowly enjoy it] (Makoto)

With words indicating that I was bored and pressure mixed in it, Mio's face color changed and she simply nodded.

I don't know if he's attentive or not. I especially can't understand it.

This was very complicated, rather, Mio obviously had a complex expression while taking the knife in her left hand.

You don't have to practice it today, maybe at another time. Do you have a desire to improve yourself?

[It's okay if you slowly get used to it] (Makoto)

I glanced at Mio.

In this way, I feel Tomoe will take out her own personal chopsticks. I have to warn him.

The dishes came one after another, happy to see this place as lively as a pub.

We're underage so there's no sake. In the past, there were times where I went with my friends to pubs and had non-alcoholic parties.

That's what I call a happy and joyful time.

But.

How unpleasant.

Recent conversations I've heard from around me…

There are some who consider us upper class people, and that feels inappropriate.

It even makes me nauseous. Ah ~ the food is great. Might as well. (TN: stress makes him unable to taste food. He went to Naofumi on us)

They really thought we were top class people who had a lot of gold, but I could only feel the innuendo of those words.

At least that's how it is with the 'very rich' people around me.

I don't care if we are here to learn about the world but, when the concept of the level itself is different, I feel that in itself will be a barrier in our learning.

The person in question seems to be having fun and feeling interested. His preference is not in saving but wasting a lot of money.

When I asked him to eat a hamburger, he said, 'What clay has this taste? Is this food? '

I felt her eyes glitter when she said that. Are really. (Far off eye)

No, no, their levels are different. And they don't even pay attention to their friend's economic situation.

They are fellows that have no influence in the economic powers’ balance. Maybe it’s because they have an amount of money that makes them think it’s not important at all.

In reverse, the people here.

And the one that is even higher than these ones, is using large interests in order to get money to use.

No matter how I think about it, I don’t think I will be related to that super rich guy.

I don’t think but…

The world’s rich people all begin practically as thieves, burglars, raiders, that kind of types. In a hundred years or so, they might obtain some dignity.

Umu.

The thing called life is so deep.

The summary of the conversations the people around here had, was like this.

The ones that have no money should just buy weapons and go hunt.

If he can’t get his hands on resources and raw materials, when he returns you just have to loan him dirt cheap money with low return time and you will get a nice guinea pig. It’s as easy as baiting a kid.

If he is able to get his hands on something you just have to invent him to a nice meal and retrieve the money. Commodity is alchemy my friend.

I can understand the first part. If you are in the area of physical strength then the best way to gain money is using your body. On top of that, people that come here are mostly concentrating on training their bodies rather than gaining money so that might be a reason as well.

But a guinea pig. That’s a word that I can’t just let slip by.

They sell weapons at very cheap prices and manipulate people. If they returned the items it could be sold at a high price but the food and commodities were all imitations. And they had to stay in an expensive inn.

If they can't get anything, they have to rely on the loan and their goal is to become a 'guinea pig'.

Eventually, the money will come back to them. Especially will increase.

Furthermore, things serve as safety; food, the opposite sex, luxury, unfortunately they have to live with the fact that all of this is provided by the weak.

The vicious circle, no, it was a system well-made by those who profited.

“Because of the surrounding environment I can not even enjoy food-desu wa ne” (Mio)

And.

It still looks on my face.

It seems that Mio is at least paying attention to her surroundings. It's the only thing he does, but I have to admit that he's progressing. Umu.

[Sorry, it looks like it's on my face] (Makoto)

"No, no, I'm the one who pours cold water in the food we eat together" (Mio)

??

Now that I look closely, I can see that Mio has a face that seems to be experiencing something.

This girl is not good at holding him back.

Fumu, is this what is called 'ridiculousness'?

No no No. No.

Let's make a conclusion casually.

[Well, in the end it looks like we're going to sacrifice for Tomoe's hobby. When I think about it, I feel a bit sad] (Makoto)

Because this is the path where you go 'divine punishment!'

Should I say 'I hit with the back of the sword'?

First I'll go all out.

I will frankly dance in the rain of blood.

When I think about it rationally, I will probably kill someone in the near future.

However, I have lived for many years to regard this as a supreme taboo so there is nothing I can do about it.

I can't think of doing it for real.

If I panic and can't do it, I still have Tomoe and Mio so there has to be a way to deal with it.

I can't get free time huh.

Kill, kill, kill.

Puncture, slash, hit and kill.

At the time when Liz I had no intention of doing it, it was an accident so I didn't think too much about it.

At that time with the demon race I did not know of their existence.

In the case of Tomoe and Mio, it was me who feared life.

When I imagined that the target would turn into a human *. (TN: we meet again)

I laughed, no, I was probably surprised.

That I can 'easily' think of the scene of me killing a human.

Although I don't really think I won't feel anything when I actually do.

It should not be possible, it should not be but…

I continued eating while thinking about the anxiety inside me.

"Tomoe-san wants a conflict somewhere inside her" (Mio)

[That's because it's the first hour*] (Makoto) (TN: I don't understand this idiom. ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ )

“??” (Mio) (TN: and Mio seems to have the same thoughts as me)

Mio did not understand my words and had a confused face. It's so beautiful. Umu, that means beauty looks good no matter what they do.

Exactly right. Maybe I should go for a walk. Anyway, tomorrow we will go to the trading area. I had to preview the place and learn how I got there while I was there.

I'll just have Tomoe take care of the cargo.

Looks like Mio is drinking sake and has finished eating.

By the way, I've never had a drink. That's because I don't think this is a safe place to do that.

And I also suggested that to Mio. Although I wanted to know if the effects of alcohol worked the same way for them. (TN: You want to learn it with MIO?! I think Tomoe is a safer bet)

All right, let's go. He seems a little drunk. I also looked up and pretended as if I was drunk on sake, a game of 'two drunks'.

If tailors have something other than following on their sleeves, I think it's time they'll act.

Nowow.

Will the Oni appear or the snake?

[Let's get out, Mio. Let's go for a minute] (Makoto)

I don't know if Mio understands the true meaning of my words but she jumped off her seat and nodded excitedly.
