Chapter 62 – A Harpy Girl and Eggs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Author Note: Last time, I wrote that Tiramisu weighed several tons, but I\u2019d like to change it to several hundred kilograms (eventually). (ED: It was already corrected in the previous chapter)<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you wrote in your impressions, a few tons would be a lot for Tiramisu\u2019s foot size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, Tiramisu\u2019s Tyranno form is still juvenile, so it\u2019s unnatural to say that it weighs several tons like an adult. I don\u2019t want her to transform, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************<\/p>\n\n\n\n The harpies\u2019 nest was in a rocky area with no trees. There were a number of holes in the rocky walls, so I\u2019m guessing that was where they slept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As far as I could tell by looking at the map, there were more than 50 harpies living in the vicinity. Naturally, there was only one Harpy Queen among them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a way, it was pretty obvious, but there didn\u2019t seem to be any other monsters in the vicinity. The harpies were at the top of the mountain\u2019s ecosystem, so there was no reason for other monsters to go near their nest. And since it was a rocky area and there wasn\u2019t much food, there was even less reason to approach it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We were currently surrounded by 50 harpies in their territory. Well, when people intrude on your home, of course you\u2019re going to surround them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The appearance of the harpies was that of women with bird\u2019s arms and lower bodies, as was already explained, but there were some additional details. When I said that they had bird\u2019s arms, I meant that their wings grew out of where one\u2019s arms would be. In other words, they had no hands. The lower half of their bodies was also bird-like, starting from just below the navel. And the rest of their bodies looked like human women\u2019s. In short, they were all topless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKyui. Kyuii!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The one who squealed loudly in front of us was the Harpy Queen, the leader of the group. Compared to other harpies, her feathers were much more luxurious. She also seemed to be wearing some ornaments. Her hair was long and brown, as were the feathers on her wings and the bird-like parts of her lower body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Incidentally, she looked to be around 20 years old, which was about the same as the Sea Serpent, Maple\u2019s human form. Their styles were also quite similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat are you doing with a human?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maple translated the Harpy Queen\u2019s line. I\u2019ve asked Maple to take on the Sea Serpent form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGYOU, GYOU.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI am now his follower. My master wanted to make the Harpy Queen a follower as well, so I brought him here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKyu, Kyu-ii!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2018Foolish. It\u2019s a disgrace for a monster to submit to a human!\u2019 she said. That\u2019s rude. There are some people who just can\u2019t be reasoned with.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is it just me, or is it actually Maple who\u2019s being rude here?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKyu. Kyu!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2018It\u2019s the least I can do. I\u2019ll bury you myself, human and all!\u2019 she said.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n As she cried out, the surrounding harpies went into a battle stance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSqueak!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat means \u2018attack!\u2019 right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat\u2019s right.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m sure even I could understand this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because the surrounding harpies were attacking us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAs I said before, don\u2019t kill the harpies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes\u266a\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGot it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGYOU.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSqueal. Kyu!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n In response to my line, the Harpy Queen squealed even louder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2018Don\u2019t talk nonsense to me. I\u2019m going to make you regret getting carried away like that, human!\u2019 she said\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s not that I\u2019m mocking you, it\u2019s just that there\u2019s actually that much of a difference\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n This was the status of the Harpy Queen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Name: \u2013 By the way, here\u2019s a harpy\u2019s status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Harpy Honestly, they\u2019re no match. I even used my \u2018Mercy\u2019 skill to make sure I wouldn\u2019t kill them by accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Harpy Queen was coming straight at me. The fact that she had her legs stretched out in front of her meant she was probably trying to grab me with her talons and tear me apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKyui! Kyu!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2018Die! Human!\u2019 she said\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maple, who was already locked in a battle with a harpy, took the trouble to translate for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As we were talking, the Harpy Quuen swung down towards me, pointing her talons my way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I took the chance to grab her by the legs .<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKyui! Kyuui!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2018What are you doing! Let go of me!\u2019 she said.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I slamed the Harpy Queen, who was struggling to stay in the air, directly into the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKyuui!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2018Let go!\u2019 she said.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I let go, as I was told.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKyuuo!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2018Damn you, human!\u2019 she said\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDon\u2019t translate pointless lines.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cUnderstood.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I told Maple, who was strangling a harpy to knock her out, to refrain from translating everything. I don\u2019t really want to listed to all her insults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKyu. Kyu!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2018I\u2019ll never forgive you. Die to my magic!\u2019 she said.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOkay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Harpy Queen got up from the ground and flew away to gain some distance. In front of her, a green magic circle appeared. It\u2019s wind magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Exactly 15 seconds later, \u2018Wind Slash\u2019, a level 4 wind magic spell, was activated. It\u2019s what\u2019s known as \u2018kamaitachi\u2019 (ED: Wind Sickle). It\u2019s a suitable magic for a harpy. I used my \u2018No Chant\u2019 skill to respond with a \u2018Wind Slash\u2019 of my own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKyuu?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Harpy Queen let out a cry of astonishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I fired a few more shots of the same \u201cWind Slash\u201d making sure I don\u2019t actually hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKyu! Kyuuo! Kyuu!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The power of the shots was suppressed to the point that they weren\u2019t fatal even if they were to hit, but the Harpy Queen seemed to have judged them to be quite a threat and was frantically dodging left and right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHere, here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I fired a few more shots. The Harpy Queen was still struggling to avoid them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKyu-kyu! Kyu-kyu!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2018Are you still going? Stop that!\u201d she said.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh, did you have enough?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I said and stopped casting spells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKyu. Kyu. Kyuuo!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2018*heavy breathing* If that\u2019s the case, I\u2019ll keep casting magic from the sky where your attacks can\u2019t reach.\u2019 she said\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Harpy Queen flew up in the sky. As expected, it would be troublesome if she did that, so I used the \u2018Flight\u2019 skill of \u2018Immortal Wings \u2013 Nosferatu\u2019 to fly up and chase after her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKyuuo!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2018Impossible!\u2019 she said. Oh, she didn\u2019t expect that\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I guess she couldn\u2019t believe that a human could fly. The Harpy Queen looked astonished. She seemed to have decided that it was dangerous to even approach me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, the Harpy Queen\u2019s flying skill was only level 8, while mine was 10. Although there was a difference in experience, the difference in skill level was huge, and I seemed to have the upper hand in terms of top speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKyu!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I grabbed one of the legs of the Harpy Queen who was trying to escape. As expected, she couldn\u2019t keep her balance and went upside down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKyuuo!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maple stayed on the ground, so I couldn\u2019t get a translation, but I guessed she was saying \u201cLet go of me!\u201d, as evidenced by the fact she was now attacking me with her other leg and wings. Of course, I took no damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I hit the Harpy Queen with a round of my \u2018Monster Taming\u2019 skill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKyuu?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n It didn\u2019t look like she\u2019d let me tame her without a fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKyu-kyu\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Harpy Queen glared at me, determined not to be defeated. The next moment she hunched over and started flailing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I took out my \u2018Soul Blade \u2013 Incomplete\u2019, and swung it at the Harpy Queen\u2019s head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSqueak!?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I ignore the screaming Harpy Queen and stopped the blade just short of hitting her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n -\u201cJeez, Jeez, Jeez, Jeez.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Harpy Queen seemed to have leaked a bit. She was upside down, so her face and other parts of her body were now soaking wet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKyu \u2026\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n She didn\u2019t faint, but she went limp and had lost all her will to resist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n >You tamed the Harpy Queen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n >Please give the Harpy Queen a name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I was able to tame her safely. Good, good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If I let go of her, she would fall to her death even if she was a bird monster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I was going to carry her on my back because I felt sorry for her, hanging in the air like that, but I didn\u2019t want to do that in her current state, so I first cast the \u2018Clean\u2019 skill on her a couple of times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I tried to carry her on my back next, but she didn\u2019t seem to have the strength to hold on. I had no choice but to carry her in my arms in a princess carry instead. Well, she\u2019s a queen\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKyu, Kyu\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m not sure why the Harpy Queen\u2019s eyes were moist as she looked up at me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A: \u201cThe Harpy Queen can mate with other species, but one of the conditions is that they must be stronger than her. If the harpy queen accepts you as her new master, it means that you have met that condition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHmm? Did you say something?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n A: \u201cNo. I didn\u2019t say anything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the Harpy Queen in my arms, I flew back to Ende Mountain. There, I found the fallen harpies and four others, Dora, Maria, Tiramisu, and Maple, completely unharmed. No surprise there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKyu\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s okay. No one died.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I looked at the map and didn\u2019t see a single dead harpy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKyu.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The moisture in the Harpy Queen\u2019s eyes increased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once we got down to the ground, Maria and the others greeted us. The Harpy Queen looked a little disappointed when I put her down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWelcome back, Jin-sama. I\u2019m glad to see you made it back safely.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWelcome back\u2606\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWelcome back!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGYAOO, GYOU, GYO, GYOA?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThanks you for your hard work master. How about it, Harpy Queen? Don\u2019t you want to follow my master after all?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKyu. Kyu.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes, I realized the difference in power. Sea Serpent, your decision to submit to this person was indeed correct. Well, it\u2019s only natural.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since it has been decided that she would become my subordinate, it was now time for the usual explanation phase. The first step was for Alta and Maple to explain everything to the Harpy Queen. Maple, who had just become a subordinate, also had to take a similar lecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After that, I told the other harpies, who were gradually starting to regain consciousness, that the Harpy Queen had lost and that she had become a follower of mine. They didn\u2019t really show much of a reaction when they heard it though. They were more like, \u201cWhat should we do now?\u201d. Maple was the one who explained it to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a result of a further discussion, the harpies seemed to have decided that I, the master of the Harpy Queen, was the new leader of the group, and they became very fond of me. They seemed to be willing to follow the Harpy Queen, and they readily accepted to be my followers as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All in all, I tamed 57 harpies, but I gave up on naming them all since I couldn\u2019t come up with enough ideas for names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI guess it can\u2019t be helped, though I would still like you to at least give a name to this mistress. If the leader of the pack is \u2018nameless\u2019, then the others won\u2019t be able to follow suit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou can use the name you had originally.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDon\u2019t say that, can\u2019t you please give me a new name?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI would also ask of you. I can\u2019t stand to see my old acquaintance remain \u2018nameless\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I guess I don\u2019t really have a choice if they both ask me like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, let\u2019s see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n >Name her \u201cHapiko\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n >Name her \u201cHimeko\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n >Name her \u201cHibari\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n >Name her \u201cYukari\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n She\u2019s not a princess (ED: Himeko), she\u2019s a queen. She\u2019s not a lark (ED: Hibari), she\u2019s a harpy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ok, one more time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n >Name her \u201cSouffl\u00e9\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n >Name her \u201cWhip\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n >Name her \u201cChocolate\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n >Name her \u201cYukari\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yep, that\u2019s a good match for Tiramisu and Maple. She has brown hair and feathers, so let\u2019s call her Chocolate. Easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYour name is Chocolate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOkay. This mistress\u2019s new name is Chocolate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAs expected, she was named after another sweet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIs it a name of a sweet? I\u2019m not sure if it\u2019s good, but I\u2019d like to try it sometime\u2026 I can\u2019t enter the city in this form, though.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCome to think of it, Chocolate can also else \u2018Transformation\u2019, right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh, that\u2019s right.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n When she said that, Chocolate was enveloped in the usual light. Without much surprise, what appeared next was Chocolate with her arms and lower body transformed into a human being. Same as the other girls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHmm, it\u2019s been a while since I took this form.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI also said the same thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next to her, Maple had also returned to her human form before I knew it. The look of the two naked sister-like beauties (right after transforming) was quite spectacular indeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJin-sama.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYep.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I threw the clothes that Maria handed me to the two of them. I\u2019m sure you\u2019re not the only one who has a problem with this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat should we do with all these harpies? There are too many after all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou can\u2019t feed them? If that\u2019s the case, why don\u2019t we leave them here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The harpies were abuzz. It looked like they though they were going to be abandoned here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, I don\u2019t know. It\u2019s not a problem to just feed them, but the question is what to make them do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n It would be wrong to just feed them without letting them do anything, but it would also be wrong to treat them as followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A: \u201cIf you give them the \u2018Transformation\u2019 skill, they can take human form.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHmm, if they can take human form, can\u2019t we just make them into maids as usual?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat\u2019s also fine, Jin-sama, but there are actually tasks that only harpies can perform.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maria raised her hand and spoke up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLike what?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes. Harpy eggs are very tasty and very valuable. If we could get them to lay eggs and sell them, we could make a fortune.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou want us to become your livestock? I don\u2019t care if we\u2019ve become your followers, that\u2019s not fair!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chocolate was indignant. However, the harpies in question were like\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s fine. If it\u2019s just some eggs, we\u2019ll give them to you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIf we go with master, we\u2019ll be much safer than here, right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes. Besides, I heard that human food is delicious, so I\u2019m looking forward to it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI don\u2019t find our own eggs very tasty. Strangely enough.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat\u2019s why we sometimes go to the forest to throw them away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd then hunt the monsters that gather there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIf I can stay with master, it\u2019s a small price to pay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYeah. you can take as many as you want.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n They all seemed quite enthusiastic about it. By the way, since I was now the master of their queen, the harpies also started calling me that way. (ED: They actually called him \u2018Great King\u2019, but it got lost in translation, so I\u2019ll stick with \u2018master\u2019.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou guys\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chocolate drooped her shoulders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIf master were to sell them all at once, it would cause a big uproar, since everyone would want to know where we got them from, so I think it might be better to distribute them a couple at a time through the Advance Chamber of Commerce.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThen we can eat the rest \u2606 Yay \u266a\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHooray!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI can\u2019t lay eggs yet, you know. Please don\u2019t overdo it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that that\u2019s been settled, we decided to return. Naturally, it was through a portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019re home!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019re back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I used \u2018portal\u2019 to transfer to the entrance of the Kastal\u2019s mansion and opened the door. It seemed that everyone else had already returned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWelcome back, master\u2026 so many!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat\u2019s a lot of\u2026 people?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAs usual, Master doesn\u2019t know his own strength\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mio, Sakura and Sera were surprised to see a bunch of harpies following me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAh! Wasn\u2019t it about time for the dinosaur egg to hatch?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBut there are no dinosaurs here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHere\u2019s the dinosaur.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTyrannosaurus Tira-chan!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Saying that, I pushed Tiramisu to the front, and she made another cute pose while saying her line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh, when you look at her status, she really is a Tyrannosaurus!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIs that the \u2018Transformation\u2019 skill\u2019s effect?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat\u2019s right. The newcomers are all monsters in their human forms. The Tyrannosaurus Tiramisu, the Sea Serpent Maple, and Chocolate, the Harpy Queen. The harpies in the back don\u2019t have names, but they are also my subordinates.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHello\u266a\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNice to meet you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNice to meet you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n As each of them gave their greetings, Mio nodded her head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMaster, do you have a sweet tooth?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo, not really.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n They were all named after sweets, so it wasn\u2019t surprising she would think that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mio\u2019s chocolate cake was also delicious by the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThen, did you want to make a harem of monster girls, instead of human ones?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo, it\u2019s not like that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I had no intention of forcing myself on my subordinates. Plus, taming was just a hobby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n I didn\u2019t want to keep everyone standing in the doorway, so I decided to explain everything while eating dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJin-kun, didn\u2019t you say you were going to take it easy?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n This was the first thing Sakura said after hearing me out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo, I took my time fishing in the morning, and then I went for a relaxing walk before noon, so I didn\u2019t really do anything\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo, you caught the Sea Serpent while fishing, then a little girl came out of the dinosaur egg, and then the Sea Serpent led you to a Harpy Queen\u2026 as expected, Master is pretty dense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mio summarized it briefly, but it\u2019s true that it was hard to believe so much could happen in half a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd in addition to the Harpy Queen, there are over fifty regular harpies, which are also said to be pretty strong. Well, I\u2019m not really surprised since it\u2019s Master\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHmm? Are the harpies considered to be strong monsters?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes, they are classified as A-rank monsters, and when attacked by a group in the mountains, even A-ranked adventurers are usually wiped out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n When I asked, Maria was quick to explain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAre they really that strong?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMaster, that\u2019s rude!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chocolate refuted me, but it didn\u2019t have the desired effect, as her mouth was all covered in bits of food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We served the newcomers some of our mansion\u2019s food, and they fell for it in the blink of an eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although both Maple and Chocolate could take human form, they had never eaten in that form and didn\u2019t know how to use forks and knives. As such, they just used their hands, making their faces all messy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tiramisu knew how to use cutlery, thanks to her previous life\u2019s knowledge, but she was too heavy to sit on a chair, so she had to sit on the floor and eat her food at a small table. It looked like she was playing house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a side note, she forgot about her weight again and sat in a chair at first, so when it broke into pieces, she got gloomy all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I think I\u2019ll make her a sturdy chair made of mithril next time. Oh, and she\u2019s been banned from going upstairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n The next day\u2019s breakfast was Japanese style: freshly cooked rice, hot miso soup and freshly laid eggs. (ED: Miso is a paste made from fermented soy beans.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n The rice came from our usual source in Kastal, and the maids had somehow secured a route to buy miso paste. Knowing about my tastes, they probably did everything within their power to find it. The Advanced Chamber of Commerce had its benefits\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n ED Reminder: Jin and Maria once stopped a monster flood to save a small village in the Kastal Kingdom, because it grew rice that they\u2019ve been looking for\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n When I heard that the maids, being uncompromising believers, had started growing their own rice and soy beans for miso, it got me slightly worried about their futures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ED Reminder: At one point Maria started a \u2018cult of Jin\u2019 and had already turned a large group of his subordinates. Jin just left it to Alta to manage\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n I am a person who likes to pour a raw egg onto my hot rice, so I noticed when I tried to break its shell on the edge of a small plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong with my egg?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Compared to the eggs placed in front of Sakura and Mio sitting beside me, the egg in my hand was clearly bigger. No, Sakura and Mio\u2019s eggs were already pretty big for regular chicken eggs, but mine was about two sizes bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The maids tend to prioritize my wishes, so if I asked for it, they would have prepared the biggest egg possible for me. But if I didn\u2019t want one, or if I didn\u2019t say anything, I would usually be treated the same as Sakura or Mio, so it was rare to see such a clear favouritism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh, that\u2019s pretty rare\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat do you mean?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOurs are regular harpy eggs, but Master has one of Chocolate\u2019s, a harpy queen egg.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I was speechless at Mio\u2019s explanation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I instinctively looked at Chocolate, who was sitting nearby. Did she lay an egg the very next day after raising all that fuss about not wanting to be treated like livestock?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI thought you said you didn\u2019t want to be treated like livestock.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh, I\u2019m still firmly against it. I can\u2019t stand the idea of selling my eggs to strangers, but I don\u2019t mind if they are offered to my master. In other words, I don\u2019t mind if it\u2019s Master who eats them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEhh? So only Master gets to eat one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I see, from the Harpy Queen\u2019s point of view, I guess that was OK. As for the other harpies, they didn\u2019t seem to care about their eggs, so we could just sell those instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBy the way, how much is a harpy queen egg worth?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat?!? You\u2019re not going to sell it, are you? Stop it! It\u2019s only for Master!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chocolate suddenly got all flustered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh course, I\u2019ll eat it. Don\u2019t worry, I won\u2019t sell it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes, that\u2019s good\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chocolate looked relieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m not a person who would sell something that was made especially for them to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Still, I couldn\u2019t help but worry about the price of what I eat from now on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThere is no market price, you know.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maria was the one to answer my question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes, first of all, the market price of a harpy egg is 100,000 gold.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo expensive\u2026 !\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat\u2019s more than us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n ED Reminder: Mio, who\u2019s a reincarnated person, was bought by Jin as a slave (like Maria, Sera and many others), so she and Jin have this running joke about comparing the value of things to how much he paid for her, which wasn\u2019t much really, her being a criminal slave and all (she made mayonnaise which turned out to be poisonous in this world, I guess it was too OP and had to be nerfed \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s not a price you would pay for an egg!<\/p>\n\n\n\n As Mio said, you could buy several slaves with that\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPrices of delicious foods vary way more than their tastes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I got what she was pointing at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, it would be difficult to say whether a 5,000 yen dish was ten times as good as a beef bowl or a fast food dish that costs around 500 yen. (ED: 500 yen is about $5)<\/p>\n\n\n\n The difference in price didn\u2019t only reflect the difference in taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Especially in this world, the food situation wasn\u2019t as stable as it was in my previous world, so the difference was even more pronounced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn addition, the scarcity value is very high because the ways to obtain them are limited.\u201d (ED: Scarcity value is the added value of something being very rare or hard to obtain\/grow\/farm.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n With harpies being very strong monsters, getting their eggs was really difficult, which in turn increased their price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd there is no one who has ever obtained a harpy queen egg. Therefore, there is currently no market price for it. Considering that the Harpy Queen is rarer than the Harpy, the price would probably be ten times more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWouldn\u2019t that make me the first person in this world to eat a harpy queen egg?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat should be the case.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cR-right\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you think about it that way, it wouldn\u2019t be so strange for this one egg to have such value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI don\u2019t care about that, just eat it. I\u2019m too embarrassed to have people stare at my eggs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chocolate said, blushing a little. Was that really something to feel ashamed about\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIs that so?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes it is!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n It couldn\u2019t be helped if you said so. Time to eat some eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This time, I cracked the egg by lightly tapping it against the edge of the small plate. Pulling the egg shells apart, I poured both the while and the yolk onto the small plate, before stirring it with chopsticks in a circular motion. Usually, I would add some soy sauce (obtained by the Advanced Chamber of Commerce), but I didn\u2019t this time, because I wanted to enjoy the taste of the egg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After making a small hole in the centre of the rice with chopsticks, I poured the egg mixture inside, letting it spill out out and coat the hot rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cItadakimasu.\u201d (ED: If you still don\u2019t know that one, it\u2019s a Japanese version of Bon app\u00e9tit!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n I took a bite of the egg-coated rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026it\u2019s delicious.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The estimated price of over one million gold was not an exaggeration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s an appropriate adjective for an egg, but in a word, it was thick. It had a strong enough flavour without any seasoning, and that flavour was further enhanced by the rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was so good, it even rivalled the omelette rice made by Mio, whose \u201cCooking\u201d skill was already level 6. (ED: Omelette rice is a dish where you enclose the rice inside an omelette to trap all the fragrance inside. You usually see it in those maid caf\u00e9 scenes, where they draw cute things on top of it with ketchup.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n I took a couple more bites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJin-kun, I have a favour to ask you\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat is it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n After the fourth bite, Sakura said with an unprecedentedly serious expression on her face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPlease give me a bite\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh, me too!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI also want some!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDora too!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Everyone except Maria asked for some harpy queen egg rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I looked towards the harpy queen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI don\u2019t mind if Master is the first one to try it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI see. Thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n When I thanked her, Chocolate turned her blushing face away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt looks like there\u2019s no problem, so have some in turn\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAah!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mio came up to me first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn the order you asked for some, Sakura, say \u2018aah’\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAh, aah\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I fed Sakura, who opened her mouth, some egg rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh, it\u2019s delicious\u2026 It\u2019s better than any egg I\u2019ve had so far\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA shame\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mio was sulking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe next one is Mio, here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I picked up some rice with my chopsticks and brought it to Mio\u2019s mouth. She gobbled it up without hesitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMmm! It\u2019s so good. I call a foul against all the other eggs. (ED: A soccer metaphor, something that\u2019s not allowed, against the rules.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n I then fed some to Sera and Dora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s delicious! Harpy eggs were very good, but to go even further than, that is amazing!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s delicious!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, I\u2019ve already portioned out most of it, so I guess I\u2019ll eat some as well, \u2026was what I was thinking about when Maria came up to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJin-sama, I\u2019m sorry to bother you now, but\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWould you like to try some too?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Yes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I let Maria have a bite. She looked very happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s delicious. And to be able to eat some of Jin-sama\u2019s food\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n She was completely out of it. Her eyes went out of focus as she sat there. I tried to wave my hand in front of her face, but got no reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRight, let\u2019s just keep eating\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCan we really just leave her like that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I wanted to eat my rice while it was still warm, so I let her be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If she\u2019s still like that after we finish eating, I\u2019ll just rub her cat ears to make her snap out of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maple is the older sister (first time I\u2019ve heard of her), and Chocolate is the cute sister (provisional).<\/p>\n\n\n\n These three, including Tiramisu, were the companions for this chapter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, it seems to be the first anniversary since I started posting.
