It keeps getting mixed up in my mind, since there\u2019s a character called Sera in Death March WN, but then they switched it to Sara in the LN, so the two just kinda merged for me at some point. I\u2019ll just keep calling her Sara from now on, since it just sounds more natural to me.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"block-3c73f8bf-88e5-4cc3-b9c1-7ac863897d29\"><em>Also, sorry for the lack of chapter last week, I\u2019ve been super busy, so I had no free time to spare.

The range of effect is the same as regular skill transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For some reason my unique skill\u2019s level increased. I\u2019m pretty sure I only gave the monster girls a single piece of advice during their fight with the Giant Man-Eater, so why did it go up?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, I guess it\u2019ll make for a good countermeasure against the other monsters with \u2018Seven Deadly Sins\u2019. Since it\u2019s the curse marks\u2019 effect that prevents them from being tamed, I can just temporarily disable it and tame them that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wait. \u2026Doesn\u2019t that mean I could have tamed the Giant Man-Eater as well? It\u2019s pretty rare for my unique skills to miss a critical timing like that\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now, I put the corpse of the Giant Man-Eater in the \u2018Inventory\u2019. I\u2019ll feed it to Tamo-san later, but first I have to show it to the City Lord as proof of subjugation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The corpse being our property is something we\u2019ve included in the contract. The City Lord asked for it at first, but he quickly gave up when I told him it\u2019ll be an \u2018extra charge\u2019. I can understand why he\u2019d want it, it being a rare and valuable material for many things, but I had to give priority to Tamo-san.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just like before, we used \u2018Portal\u2019 to transfer most of the way towards the city of Norrkut, and then walked the rest of the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I used that chance to tell everyone that my unique skill\u2019s level went up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOh! You\u2019re back! And it looks like you\u2019ve been able to defeat it safely!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the city gate, we were greeted by the bald gatekeeper. Please spare me being welcomed back by a bald old man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cShouldn\u2019t we bring the corpse to the City Lord\u2019s mansion?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRight. My Lord is the client, so please do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We followed the bald gatekeeper to the mansion. The city is still in turmoil, but seeing the bald gatekeeper calmly pass by, some people called out to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJoshua-san! What happened to the monster subjugation team?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey defeated it, so it should be safe now! My Lord will make an announcement soon, so don\u2019t do anything stupid until then!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bald gatekeeper answered their questions, and the commotion gradually began to die down. Could it be that the bald gatekeeper is actually pretty popular here? The area of his head without any hair is certainly pretty big. (ED: It literally says \u201cCould it be that he has a big face?\u201d)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the bald gatekeeper kept answering everyone\u2019s questions, we arrived at the City Lord\u2019s mansion, same as before, though it took us a bit longer to get here this time around. From here, it also went the same as before, with the senior maid leading us into the City Lord\u2019s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWelcome back\u2026 that was pretty fast\u2026 still, it looks like you\u2019ve succeeded\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYeah, we defeated the Giant Man-Eater without any problems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCan you show me the corpse\u2026? Perhaps we should take this outside\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cVery well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We followed the City Lord and the bald gatekeeper into the garden. There\u2019s a lot of space here, so it should be okay to pull it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2018Storage\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I said, as I made the corpse of the Giant Man-Eater appear. Obviously, I actually took it out of the \u2018Inventory\u2019, but I used a fake skill name as a cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s amazing. I didn\u2019t mean to doubt you, but I\u2019m still surprised seeing it with my own eyes\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bald gatekeeper muttered at the sight of the huge corpse lying before him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIndeed\u2026 I\u2019m horrified when I think that such a monster was coming for the city\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just seeing its corpse is enough to fully convey the threat that it posed. It made the City Lord\u2019s already pale face turn even more white. Honestly, I was beginning to worry he might actually collapse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRight\u2026 you\u2019ve definitely fulfilled the request\u2026 I\u2019d like to pay you the full reward\u2026 I\u2019m sorry, but can I still accept your previous offer?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSure, I don\u2019t mind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThen, I\u2019ll prepare the 50 million gold\u2026 and the land deed and a trading licence for the store\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPlease do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During our contract negotiations I\u2019ve offered to take only half of the initial reward, in exchange for getting permission for the Chamber of Advanced Commerce to open a branch store in Norrkut. In other words, I took the chance to do some extra business, since I was already negotiating a deal with the Lord of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Maria and Lucia, \u201cThere\u2019s no need for Jin-sama to trouble yourself with such minor details. Please feel free to use your subordinates however and whenever you might need them.\u201d, but since I already knew from Lucia that we had no presence in the city just yet, and the Lord was likely to agree, I decided I might as well take this opportunity to further spread my influence into the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: Rather, Lucia is depressed that she had Master do her work for her\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026Moving on, it\u2019s a city where the Adventurers\u2019 Guild is a bit pathetic and the residents aren\u2019t very reliable, but it\u2019s probably large enough to open a branch of the Chamber. Though I\u2019ve already been told that \u201cIf you have an unpleasant experience, it\u2019s fine to just skip it altogether.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut before that, I\u2019d like to let the citizens know that the monster threat is over now, if that\u2019s okay with you\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once I agreed, the City Lord proceeded with giving out instructions to his subordinates to announce that the monster had been successfully subjugated. As a side note, the bald gatekeeper also joined them in spreading the word. I guess he really is quite popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNow then\u2026 this is the agreed 50 million gold, and here are the documents for the store\u2026 I\u2019ve also included a map with the location marked on it\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOkay, guess that concludes the request.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After returning to the City Lord\u2019s office, I\u2019ve received the rewards as promised. Looking at the map, it\u2019s a reasonably sized plot of land in the commercial district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo\u2026 are you going to call over someone from the Chamber of Advanced Commerce\u2026? Or are you planning to hire some local constructors\u2026? I can\u2019t really help you myself, but I might be able to get you a discount\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo, there\u2019s no need. It won\u2019t take that long.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIs that so\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Lucia, there are some excellent architects among the maids. Apparently, it will only take them half a day to get the job done. Then again, our maids are excellent\u2026 Anyway, with them taking care of things, I won\u2019t really need any help from the City Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That concluded our business with the Lord. Before leaving, I had him announce that it was Maple and her fellow mercenaries from the Chamber of Advanced Commerce, who defeated the monster, so I guess you could say that the \u2018Mysterious Rookie Mercenaries Masterpiece Strategy\u2019 ended in a partial success. Well, the part with \u2018spreading the word in the Adventurers\u2019 Guild\u2019 was an utter failure, but I guess you can\u2019t win them all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBy the way, what will happen to the chief of the Adventurers\u2019 Guild?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPerhaps\u2026 Did he run away\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cVery much so.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The chief of the local Adventurers\u2019 Guild fled to another city, leaving behind a weak excuse like \u201cI\u2019m gonna go get help.\u201d. It wasn\u2019t really my problem, but I got a bit curious, so I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI just heard from Joshua\u2026 the city is starting to calm down\u2026 but we will wait a bit before announcing it\u2026 as for what happens to him\u2026 that\u2019s for the citizens to decide. I could just remove him from his post\u2026 but I doubt the citizens would let him get away with just that\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIsn\u2019t it better to just tell them now?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou would think that\u2026 but wouldn\u2019t that only cause unnecessary confusion\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPoint taken.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seeing as the city is still in turmoil after the event with the Giant Man-Eater, there\u2019s really no point spreading further dissent. Waiting until things calm down, and then letting people calmly decide, might indeed be the right way to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the way, I\u2019ve later learned from one of the maids, that the guild chief did return to the city after hearing about the Giant Man-Eater\u2019s successful subjugation, only to get beaten up and kicked back out again by the angry citizens. Guess he should have seen that coming\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Incidentally, with the public image of the local branch of the Adventurers\u2019 Guild now in tatters, it let the Chamber of Advanced Commerce take over by employing the local adventurers as mercenaries, effectively putting the guild out of business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, they also put more effort into their regular business, making the local branch store of the Chamber quickly overtake all the other ones in sales. At the time I spoke with her, they already had more power in Norrkut than the City Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The maid believers might have gotten a bit overzealous, given how I had personally participated in this branch store\u2019s establishment. It was a total overkill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIs there anything else you would like to know\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo, not really. I think that\u2019s all for now. I don\u2019t want to take up too much of your time, so please excuse us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI see\u2026 All right then\u2026 Thank you for all your help this time\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDon\u2019t worry about it. I also got what I wanted out of this. Besides, you\u2019ve got a lot of work ahead of you, don\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIndeed\u2026 There\u2019s a lot of work to be done\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There were plenty of urgent issues for the City Lord to address, even discounting the guild chief. He really shouldn\u2019t be wasting any more time on us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After being sent off by the senior maid, and leaving the City Lord\u2019s mansion behind, we decided to go sightseeing in the city of Norrkut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a place we\u2019ve never been to before, so it would have been a waste to just go back without seeing anything. Plus, with the City Lord\u2019s announcement, the city began to calm down already. As you might expect, walking through a city in the middle of a panic wasn\u2019t exactly my idea of having a good time\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 grr<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just as I was about to decide where to start our city tour, I heard a cute little sound coming from somewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDora is hungry~!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looks like it was Dora\u2019s stomach growling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt is getting a bit late. Shall we go and have lunch somewhere?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYes\u2026 I\u2019m starving\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLet\u2019s eat~!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As it turns out, the whole process of subjugating the Giant Man-Eater, bringing its corpse back to the city, and then talking things out with the Lord, actually took us half a day. We didn\u2019t have time to stop for lunch, so I\u2019m actually pretty hungry myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAll right, let\u2019s look for a place to get some food.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHooray~!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut, will there be any open ones right now\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026Right\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though the panic has mostly subsided, it\u2019s still not the same as at normal times. Still, it looks like some shops are already reopening, even if only a few. Alta, what kind of food is this city famous for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: Yes. The city\u2019s speciality seems to be egg dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oh, so it\u2019s eggs?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With my new harpy followers around, I really got a taste for eggs lately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plus, it\u2019s a local speciality, so we just have to give it a try\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: I will display the recommended shops on the map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s a couple of them nearby. Let\u2019s pick one with a large menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ve asked Alta and decided on a place, if you don\u2019t mind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI will obey Jin-sama.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf the two of you have chosen it, I\u2019m sure it\u2019s the right one\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLeave it to Master~!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs you wish.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYep \u266a\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I asked everyone just in case, but there were no objections. It\u2019s okay to disagree sometimes, you know\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I also let Mio and Sara know to see if they were interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re going to eat egg dishes in another country. Do you want to come?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSure thing!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI will come as well!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two two used \u2018Portal\u2019 to reach the vicinity of the city, before coming to the restaurant. Altogether, we made up a pretty big group, so we all picked different dishes in the name of Mio\u2019s culinary research. The one I chose happened to look a lot like fried crab balls for some reason\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: If you want, I can list all the ingredients and allergens in each dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, let\u2019s not go that far. Unless there really is something dangerous in it\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The food was good, but Mio said she was going to remake the same things with harpy eggs next time, so I was already looking forward to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After lunch, Mio and Sara joined us on our tour of the city. The place seems to have calmed down a lot during our meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: Master, there is a problem to the north of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026Please don\u2019t make more trouble appear as soon as I say \u2018it calmed down\u2019. \u2026Well, let\u2019s hear it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: An adventurer has been infected with the \u2018Gluttony\u2019 curse mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Come again?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What do you mean by \u2018infected with a curse mark\u2019?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: Monsters that went on a rampage as a result of receiving one of the \u2018Seven Deadly Sins\u2019 curse marks will infect other creatures, making it spread over time. The infected don\u2019t actually get the curse mark itself, but they do enter a rampage-like state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So\u2026 what does that actually mean\u2026?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: Here\u2019s the present status of the adventurer in question<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aisha (Rampage \u2013 Gluttony)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Level 45<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gender: Female<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Age: 18<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Race : Human<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Skills: &lt;Mounted Combat Mastery LV7&gt; &lt;Life Magic LV2&gt; &lt;Monster Taming LV8&gt; &lt;Horse Riding LV7&gt; &lt;Beast Training LV7&gt; &lt;Body Strengthening LV4&gt;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I see, it\u2019s the same \u2018Rampage \u2013 Gluttony\u2019 state that the Giant Man-Eater was in. However, does that mean she doesn\u2019t have the curse mark itself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the way, is she one of the A-rank adventurers who fought with the Giant Man-Eater before us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: Yes. She most likely got infected with \u2018Rampage \u2013 Gluttony\u2019 at the time. It doesn\u2019t always happen, and then the chances of it actually developing are also pretty low, so I was only monitoring her for the time being, but it seems she had the misfortune of contracting it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words, it\u2019s a very rare case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the way, we also came in contact with that Giant Man-Eater, but are we OK?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: Yes. The protection from mind attacks granted by the &lt;Avatar LV2&gt; skill is enough to protect you from infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When \u2018Avatar\u2019 reached level 2, it gained the ability to preserve and protect the minds and memories of its users. It looks like it\u2019s strong enough to keep all of my subordinates safe from getting infected by curse marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the way, what\u2019s going on with that adventurer right now? You said there\u2019s a problem, but please tell me more about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: The adventurer in question developed \u2018Rampage \u2013 Gluttony\u2019 while eating at a reopened restaurant. Because of this, she can\u2019t control her appetite, and if things continue like this, she will soon die of overeating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It turns out to be surprisingly dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not like I\u2019m obliged to help her, but there\u2019s actually something I\u2019m a little curious about. If you become a subordinate of mine while in the state of \u2018Rampage\u2019, can the effect of \u2018Avatar\u2019 still cancel it out?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: It should be possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since Alta confirmed it should work, I decided to give it a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo, I\u2019m gonna go to the northern side of the city and make an adventurer who\u2019s currently in a state of \u2018Rampage\u2019 into a subordinate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI will accompany you, Jin-sama.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I summarized to everyone what I\u2019d just talked about with Alta. Unsurprisingly, Maria decided to come along. Even though the adventurer was likely going to join our group soon, I didn\u2019t want to drag everyone along in vain, so I asked them to continue their city tour. Since they had some free time, Mio suggested they should go shopping for new clothes for the monster girls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once we reached the northern part of the city, we noticed a large group of people gathered around the tables in front of a nearby restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUgghhhh, another one!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHey, stop it, you can\u2019t possibly be still hungry!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou\u2019re going to die at this rate!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the centre, there\u2019s a female adventurer with an abnormally bloated stomach and some residents trying to stop her. She\u2019s the adventurer I\u2019m looking for, Aisha. Most of her body is wrapped in bandages, probably due to injuries she\u2019d sustained in her fight with the Giant Man-Eater. There\u2019s a pile of empty plates on the table in front of her, more than twenty at a glance. You\u2019ll obviously get bloated if you eat this much! \u2026unless you\u2019re Sara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPlease stop!!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOut of my way!!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aisha punched the man who tried to stop her by grabbing her arm. Looks like the A-rank adventurers are pretty popular here, based on the amount of people who are trying to help her. Still, getting hit by her, the map collapsed to the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHey! That\u2019s going too far!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other man tried to stop her. I thought Aisha was going to punch him as well, but things turned out a little different. Aisha looked around at the people around her and muttered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t have to wait for the food to be cooked, there\u2019s plenty of meat already here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u201dWhat?\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The people around her exclaimed. The way Aisha looked at the men was like a predator eyeing its prey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: The \u2018Rampage\u2019 is progressing. At this rate, she will become like a beast, driven to attack others out of hunger. Although, her stomach will most likely burst open killing her before that happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hmm, talking about people going on a rampage, it kind of reminds me of Mira, right after she was turned into a vampire. With her ego destroyed by the magic sword, she also acted like a beast at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: It\u2019s similar, but she\u2019s not a monster, so you can\u2019t tame her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, I wasn\u2019t really planning to tame her to begin with. Just\u2026 enslaving her instead\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRun away! Something\u2019s not right with her!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOh, we\u2019ll take care of her!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hearing me say this, the citizens around us ran away at full speed. The man who lost consciousness after getting punched by Aisha got left behind, still lying on the ground. I guess that\u2019s as far as the good intentions of this city\u2019s citizens actually go\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In no time at all, Aisha was left alone in the restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOh, the meat ran away\u2026 Too bad, I\u2019ll have to make do with just this one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aisha lifted the unconscious man and tried to bite his arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell then\u2026 bon appetit\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYea, I\u2019m not gonna let you do that now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I approached Aisha and snatched the unconscious man from her hands. Watching humans get eaten is totally no good in my book. I can\u2019t even stomach monsters eating them, not to mention other humans doing so. I\u2019m absolutely not gonna let it happen right in front of me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAre you interrupting my meal? Or do you want me to eat you first?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Something about the way she said that made me want to have her. At that moment, I made the decision to take Aisha under my wing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maria sent her a deadly stare, when she proclaimed her desire to harm me. Still, this time she waited for my command, instead of instantly trying to cut her down. Looks like she\u2019s got some self control after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cVery well. If you want to eat so badly, eat this too!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMmm?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saying this, I flung a small pill into Aisha\u2019s mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s one of the food pills I\u2019ve made for Sara with \u2018Energy Pill\u2019, one of Sakura\u2019s original spells, that allows you to turn your MP into highly nutritious pills. Because, due to her unique body type, Sara required a huge amount of calories, she still needs to eat around 20 of those pills after having a regular sized meal, to actually eat her fill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m\u2026 stuffed?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, a normal human being wouldn\u2019t be able to endure such a meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUgh!!! I\u2019m still hungry! But I can\u2019t eat any more! So hungry!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Aisha\u2019s case, her hunger is caused by the effects of \u2018Rampage\u2019, so no matter how much she eats, she will never be full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUgh, I\u2019m dying. I\u2019m going to die if I keep going\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looks like she\u2019s close to her limit. She collapsed to the ground with a pained face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is just right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I approached Aisha and said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf you become my slave, I can free you from this suffering.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be honest, it\u2019s nothing more than a devil\u2019s whisper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI will! I will, so help me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aisha said without a moment\u2019s hesitation. Immediately, she lifted her clothes showing me her back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I used a drop of my blood to establish a contract, using the &lt;Slave Arts&gt; skill. Maria made sure to provide us some cover, so that none of the onlookers could see what\u2019s happening. With Aisha\u2019s consent, the skill succeeded without any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, Alta, please.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: I understand. Done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So fast!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: Her spirit isn\u2019t broken, so I only had to transfer the \u2018Avatar\u2019 skill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oh, I see. I guess it was that simple now that I think about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKuh\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having finally been released from the effects of \u2018Rampage\u2019, Aisha fainted on the spot from overeating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unsurprisingly, the place where she went on her rampage was now empty, but there were still a lot of people watching us from a distance. We hid the use of &lt;Slave Arts&gt;, so no one should have seen that part, but we still stood out with all this commotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I didn\u2019t really feel like explaining things to the guards, plus, there were too many things I didn\u2019t want to have to explain, so\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cExcuse me. I\u2019d like to pay the bill.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026I decided to skip the explanation part altogether, and just leave like nothing had happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMaria, let\u2019s leave this place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cVery well. I will carry her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo, carrying an unconscious woman is suspicious enough, but having a little girl do it would attract even more attention.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI apologize. If only I was a little bigger\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If I let Maria carry her, we would stand out even more, so I reject it. Next, I paid for Aisha\u2019s meal, healed the unconscious man just in case, and then left the area post haste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We could go meet up with the rest of the group, but I\u2019m still carrying Aisha, so we should probably use \u2018Portal\u2019 to return to the mansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: Then, please head to the planned construction site of the Chamber\u2019s new branch store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: You\u2019ll find out when you get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you say so, I guess I\u2019ll do just that. Basically, the only time Alta doesn\u2019t tell me things, is when she either deems them trivial (or unimportant at the time) or when she\u2019s trying to surprise me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Knowing that, I followed her advice and headed for the plot where the new branch store of the Chamber of Advanced Commerce was being built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI see, this is a surprise\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s a magnificent store here that\u2019s already 80% complete. It\u2019s two stories high, with part of it being used as accommodations for employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s only been three hours since we got this land\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: \u2018Inventory\u2019 allows for easy transport and storage of materials, \u2018Engage Link\u2019 improves communication and coordination, while \u2018Give and Take\u2019 increases physical performance. We have all the necessary aspects of construction work covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She\u2019s right now that I think about it. It wouldn\u2019t be a stretch to say we have better construction capability than people back in my old world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWelcome, Jin-sama.\u201d x20<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026Right, good job everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I approached the building, the maids formed a line and bowed to me. They were apparently informed by Alta to stop the construction work and prepare to welcome us. Incidentally, they are all wearing maid uniforms, according to them, \u201cbecause they\u2019re our work clothes.\u201d. \u2026They are certainly the clothes you work in, but it somehow clashed with my image of a construction site\u2019s work crew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The maids led us into the room that looked to be the best one in the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sakura\u2019s group joined us after they finished their shopping. We would stand out too much if we tried to exit the city this late in the day, so we decided to stay for the night. Or, we could always go home with \u2018Portal\u2019. Sightseeing is nice and all, but nothing beats coming back home after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Backstory \u2013 Chamber of Advanced Commerce<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A company created by Lucia and run by the maids under Jin\u2019s command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officially led by Lucia (her being one of Jin\u2019s slaves is known only to the select few), with the aim of further spreading Jin\u2019s influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their headquarters are located in Kastor Queendom, with additional branches in Estia Kingdom and several countries of the Atto Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because of Jin\u2019s influence (almost 100%), they are very strict when it comes to handling trouble related to nobles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When at one time, an influential noble in one of the countries of Atto Union tried to force a detrimental deal onto the Chamber, and then complained to the country after not getting his way, all the stores of the Chamber in the country stopped their business there and disappeared overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If Jin wants to visit the country in question at some point, they will try to persuade him against it (if he still decides to go, they will support him nonetheless).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next time, it\u2019s the fox\u2019s turn (it hasn\u2019t appeared yet).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aisha will be involved a bit later. It\u2019s a terrible story. Probably one of the worst stories I\u2019ve ever written.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/nonametranslations.com\/index.php\/blessing-from-the-goddess-and-transfer-to-another-world-no-thanks-i-dont-need-a-special-ability\/blessing-from-the-goddess-and-transfer-to-another-world-no-thanks-i-dont-need-a-special-ability-chapter-68\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"76\">Previous<\/a> &lt;<a href=\"http:\/\/nonametranslations.com\/index.php\/blessing-from-the-goddess\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"5\">Table of Contents<\/a>> <a href=\"http:\/\/nonametranslations.com\/index.php\/blessing-from-the-goddess-and-transfer-to-another-world-no-thanks-i-dont-need-a-special-ability\/blessing-from-the-goddess-and-transfer-to-another-world-no-thanks-i-dont-need-a-special-ability-chapter-70\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"80\">Next<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ED: So, I&#8217;ve noticed I\u2019ve been calling Sera as Sara all the time.
