The Neighborhood High School Girl, Miss Isezaki, Is the Great Saintess Returned from Another World~ And I, Suddenly Awakened as Her Exclusive Mana Supply Uncle, Travel Between Earth and Another World with Time-Space Magic~ - 85. Reporting to the Guardian

85. 85. Reporting to the Guardian

After exchanging a few messages with Aihara, we settled on a date for me to meet her grandfather next week.

I thought Aihara might say something like, “Let’s do it tomorrow!” But it seems her grandfather recently underwent a minor surgery, and there will be many relatives visiting to pay their respects for a while.

Apparently, as befits a VIP, one needs to make reservations in advance to visit him. And with more people visiting, the time for each visit naturally becomes shorter.

Even if I were to meet her grandfather within the allocated time, he might not be satisfied, and then it might lead to the topic of meeting her boyfriend again.

So, Aihara wanted to wait until next week when the number of visitors decreases and we can have a leisurely meeting. Surprisingly level-headed of her.

So, on this day, I stayed home for the first time in a while and spent the day enjoying Japanese TV shows, manga, and internet content that I couldn’t enjoy during my journey in the other world.

By my sense of time, despite the ten-day delay, only about a day had passed on Earth, so most of the content I was interested in hadn’t been updated much.

I realized once again that spending too much time in the other world isn’t good.

On the second day after returning from the capital, I spent the morning leisurely.

Ideally, with the one hundred million G I happened to obtain, I’d like to buy magical tools and furniture, but I’d rather purchase them at the Reymar Company in the frontline city of Grandain, where I have connections.

It’s important to have a favored shop. They might even give me some leeway.

However, if I, who was supposed to have left the capital, were to suddenly appear at the Reymar Company, things might get complicated. Well, they might not know about my movements, but just in case. It’s better to wait a few more days.

As I was lazily lazing around, it became noon, and feeling like going out, I decided to head to the Isezaki Mansion to report on my trip to the other world to the landlady.

Although the landlady said reporting wasn’t necessary, I’m taking their precious granddaughter to another world. As an adult, I can’t avoid reporting to the guardian.

So, with a souvenir in hand again, I headed to the Isezaki Mansion.

***

It took only a few minutes to walk to the nearby Isezaki Mansion. Since it was a weekday, Isezaki-san was diligently studying at the academy, and only the landlady was at the mansion.

Despite being a wealthy mansion, there were no maids or servants. It’s just the landlady and Isezaki-san.

The landlady who greeted me at the entrance as expected said, “I don’t need a report,” looking annoyed, but showed interest in the souvenir I brought. Souvenirs are indeed important.

“Is it tastier than the rat meat you got last time?”

In the living room, the landlady asked me about the Great Boar I brought as a souvenir.

“landlady, it wasn’t rat meat, but earth rat meat.”

“What’s the difference, it’s just being nitpicky.”

The landlady pursed her lips, but while rats turn into monsters, field mice become nothing more than unhygienic small animals. I would like to stick to that distinction.

“Anyway, it was tastier than that earth rat. Earth rat are a common ingredient even among commoners, but Great Boar is a luxury ingredient in the other world, preferred by nobles and successful merchants.”

“I see. You went to such lengths to bring such a good thing as a souvenir? You didn’t have to bother for an old woman like me, you know?”

“Well, you see… I got a lot for free from the people at the company. It’s just a little something they gave me, so please don’t worry about it.”

“Hmm, that sounds interesting. Well then, let’s hear all about it since you’re here.”

The landlady whistled and smiled slyly. It seems like I can fulfill my obligation to report to the landlady as planned.

“—So, you defeated the assassins who came to kill the noble’s daughter and killed the Earth Dragon? Good job, Matsunaga-kun.”

“Well, I was just lucky.”

“What are you saying? While it’s true that Matsunaga-kun’s compatibility with the assassins might have been good, it was your talent, resourcefulness, and courage that allowed you to protect Seina and the noble’s daughter. That’s not just luck. Hey, you. Be proud of a job well done as a man.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

Pointed at by the landlady, I straightened my back firmly. I couldn’t defy the landlady who has taken care of me since my student days. She nodded satisfactorily and continued speaking.

“Good. So, do you have any meat from that Earth Dragon?”

“Well, it seems you can’t eat the meat of an Earth Dragon. It’s apparently too tough and unusable for anything, so it has to be disposed of by incineration.”

“Wow, that’s unfortunate. …But killing a dragon, that’s like something out of a myth. Isn’t it super cool, Dragon Slayer Matsunaga-kun?”

Saying so, the landlady smirked teasingly. I’m not at an age to be pleased with being called a Dragon Slayer, so it’s kind of embarrassing.

“No, no, please stop. Anyway, I sold that Earth Dragon to the company, but the meat of this Great Boar I brought this time was given to me as a bonus separate from the payment.”

“I see, I see. So, making money in the other world seems to be going smoothly as usual.”

“Well, yeah, but in Japan, I’m still just unemployed…”

“Money-making schemes here and there will come rolling in sooner or later. More importantly, both you and Seina seem to be having fun, and that’s what matters.”

While it’s a bit strange to brush off being attacked by assassins as “having fun,” the landlady laughed genuinely. Then, she checked the clock in the room and stood up crisply.

“Well then, it’s about time. Seina isn’t here, but shall we have a little taste of this so-called Great Boar?”

With that, the landlady left the guest room.

After leaving the guest room, the landlady quickly sliced and cooked the Great Boar meat, but I wonder what kind of dish she made in the end.
