Episode 99: A Life in Another World that is Far from Free 37

When Dietrich-sama returned, Alicia and Yulia followed him into the room.

Having received an explanation from Dietrich-sama on the way, Alicia pulled bananas out of the magic bag and greeted me.

“Congratulations on reaching level 10!”

“Thanks, Alicia.”

“So… are you really going to do it?”

“Yeah. Time isn’t always on our side.”

I immediately bit into the bananas that had been taken out and began to eat them in quick succession.

…But… hmm… something feels off.

“…Ugh.”

“”””Huh?””””

…The bananas that I could eat seven of before now felt difficult to manage by the third one.

Now that I think about it, I was the only one who ate that many. Everyone else had only eaten one or, at most, two.

“…Could it be… the amount I can eat changes with my level?”

“I… I don’t know.”

“I’m not sure, but don’t push yourself too hard, okay?”

“That’s right, Mihiro-sama.”

“Even if you stuff your cheeks, it won’t matter if you can’t swallow.”

…That’s absolutely true.

And even when I tried to swallow, for some reason, my stomach wouldn’t accept it. Normally, it should have been able to handle it.

But I can’t waste food!

“Ugh… Ugh… Ugh… Phew…”

“”””……….””””

“…Phew!!”

…Hah, hah, hah, hah… I ate it.

If my Magic Stat didn’t increase by 900 after this, it would have been utterly pointless. I ate it, so it should be fine, right?

“…Well, that’s good. It adds up to 1200.”

“Now we just need to Appraise the skill acquisition method within five minutes.”

“Hurry up, Maki!”

“Maki-san, hurry!”

“Get a move on, Mihiro!”

…I should have been the one they were worried about, but now they’re rushing me!

Well, I guess it’s understandable since there’s a time limit. And it took me a while to finish the third banana.

“Appr—Ugh! …Phew. Appraisal: Skill Acquisition Method.”

…..Ah.

※※※※

—Hmm, it’s either what I expected, or I’m shocked that a Magic stat of 1200 still wasn’t enough; it’s a bit of both.

I woke up, as expected, in Dietrich-sama’s room.

In fact, it would have been nice if they had prepared a guest room anticipating that I might deplete my mana.

I feel way too guilty toward Dietrich-sama.

“…You’re awake.”

“Ah, I’m glad, Mihiro-sama.”

“I was expecting it, so I’m fine.”

“…You were expecting it?”

“Well, if 1200 Magic stat was enough, it wouldn’t be a struggle.”

“…With 1200 Magic stat, I think you could destroy an entire nation, you know?”

Wait, really? Then what does it mean that I can’t figure out the skill acquisition method?

Well, it probably means that it requires an extraordinary amount of mana beyond the norm, which is only possible for a divine-class profession.

“Is your body okay?”

“…Yes, I have no problems.”

I only rotated my shoulders a bit, and it seems fine. If anything were wrong, I don’t think I’d ever want to do this again.

“How long did I sleep this time?”

“About five hours. It’s night now.”

“…I’m really sorry!”

Night? Wait, did Alicia and the others leave? What am I supposed to do now!?

“It’s fine.”

“Ugh, I’m really sorry. I was hoping to go back right away—”

—Knock, knock.

As I hurried to get out of bed, someone knocked on the door at that moment.

“Come in.”

“Excuse me. I heard a voice, so I brought you dinner.”

“Thank you.”

A gentleman, resembling a butler, entered with a delicious-looking meal that would stimulate anyone’s appetite. Dietrich-sama attended to him and arranged the dishes on the table.

…Now that I think about it, I feel incredibly hungry. No, I’m starving!

“Excuse me.”

“Yes… So, Mihiro-sama, shall we eat?”

“Eh! …Is that really okay?”

“Of course. That’s what it’s prepared for.”

“Ah, thank you!”

I got out of bed as planned, and unexpectedly sat down in a chair.

“Bon appétit!”

I put my hands together and brought the food to my mouth.

…Wow… This… is… mmm…

“…This is incredibly delicious!”

“That’s good to hear. Oh, by the way, please stay here for the night. I’ll rest in the room next door.”

“Thank you! …Huh?”

“I’ve already informed Alicia-sama and Kondō-sama, so please don’t worry.”

…It seems my accommodation for today was decided without my knowledge.
