Ultimate Porter ~The Weakest Man Aspires to be an Adventurer~ Chapter 30

Chapter 30
030 . Two teachers

SEPTEMBER 6, 2018 / TEMPUSINFINITUM

Today is the day [phoenix company] has its intermediate level training course with Patty acting as the lecturer .

Patty has been in high spirits since the morning .

She came to my hotel room early and invited me for breakfast . Even while eating she was in a good mood talking about our schedule all the way through .

“We’ll get to the 5th ward before the end of the day and camp there, then tomorrow morning we’ll hunt in the 2nd level . ”

She’ll teach us about the topography of the 2nd level, what kind of demons there are and things to be careful about as well as personal experiences she had there .

After returning to my room she even helped me pack .

The two of us set out and walked together to the labyrinth gate .

Throughout all of this, she had a smile blooming on her face .

Even though I’m off to the labyrinth I can’t help feeling happy and excited .

This ended at the labyrinth gates .

“Ossan! Over here, over here!”

In our usual meeting spot, a monkey is jumping around .

Meg was also waving energetically at his side .

Although we are off to the labyrinth they have the atmosphere of people going on a picnic .

I might also be the same though .

I can feel the breathing of Patty right beside me which makes me feel really good .

Just as I was thinking about calming down a person appeared from the shadow of a building behind Meg and raised their hand .

“Good morning……… . . ”

Without even having to look you can feel the atmosphere around Patty change .

“Are you surprised!? I asked Bonnie-san to come along!”

Jean is looking at me with eyes that say

please praise me .

Argh! This type of innocence should be a crime!

He’s guilty .

Guilty!

“I’m sorry . Jean had invited her before I realised what he as going to do…… . ” Meg apologises in a whisper .

It’s okay Meg . You haven’t done anything wrong .

Patty and Bonnie-san face each other .

They don’t seem to see the other members .

“Good morning . I’m 7th rank adventurer Patricia Cherryc.o.ke . ”

“Bonnie…… . . 6th rank………”

Their eyes are probing each other as they name themselves .

“What’s your relationship with Ippei?”

“Ippei is my student…… . I’m raising him to be my porter…… . ”

This is the first time I’m hearing this Bonnie-san .

“Oh, Ippei is already my porter and has been for some time . ”

Was I in such a position?!

“When did I become your porter Patty?”

“Oh, didn’t you say you wanted to adventure together but since you were too weak being a porter was fine?”

“Umu, Battles are impossible for you……”

Both of you are mean .

“Oh well, this time both of you can train Ippei-san . ”

Peace was brokered by our youngest member Meg .

Certainly, with recovery magic, life magic and various other skills I’ll make an excellent porter but I want to be an adventurer if I can .

Moving on .

I’m not a thick-headed main character from some hero series when it comes to Patty . I understand we have a delicate relationship right now .

Patty was looking forward to exploring with me today then a person named Bonnie-san abruptly shows up . It’s easy to understand her feelings .

I also like Patty and want to push our relationship one step further but Patty is a n.o.ble .

n.o.ble ladies are not allowed to interact socially with commoners .

Marriage is even more

more outrageous .

Even if we ignore the social aspect it’s expressly prohibited by law .

It seems male n.o.bles can lay their hands on common women though .

It’s complete male domination over women here .

On the other hand, if a commoner falls in love with a n.o.ble they are punished .

The lady is sent to a monastery and forced into becoming a nun while the man is either executed or sent to the mines as forced labour .

Forced labour turns into an execution if they had s.e.x .

n.o.ble women and common men falling in love is relatively common but those cases where it develops into a s.e.xual relationship are surprisingly few . (TN . Not really surprising when the price for having s.e.x is death . )

Basically, if I confess to Patty it’s off to the mines for me and if we have s.e.x I better prepare for death .

This is the reason Patty is also hesitating and the reason the appearance of Bonnie-san has made her more anxious than necessary .

Everybody finishes their preparations .

“Good morning everyone . This time we are exploring the 2nd level with Patty and Bonnie-san as our instructors . Let’s all greet our sensei’s . My best regards for today . ”

“”Thanking you in advance . ””

Jean and Meg both have smiling faces .

I hope both sensei’s get along for the sake of those 2 .

Along with his usual backpack, Gobu also has 2 long parcels under his arms .

Those are the weapons I remade for Meg and Jean .

Because Patty was against it I decided not to hand over the degraded holy sword and imitation holy mace .

I asked Onkel-san to send them to auction for me .

The new weapons are more robust than normal ones

normal ones and though reduced they still have high attack power .

I have also given them the holy attribute . This should be okay, right?

“Okay, I made you new weapons as promised . ”

“Oh! It’s a good sword!”

“This mace seems easy to use . ”

How can you both handle such heavy weapons?

If I equip the mace my attack power only goes up to 10 even though the weapon has an attack power of 189 .

As usual, I cannot seem to satisfactorily draw out the performance of a weapon .

Since the last time with Meg, I made a mace for Gobu as well .

I considered letting him use the imitation holy mace but as Gobu is a golem that can level up I made his mace the same as Megs so his growth won’t be hindered .

“Well then, let’s get to the 5th ward by the end of the day!”

Guided by the energetic voice of Patty we descended the stairs into the abyss .

Our 4 days and 3 nights search has begun at last .

The hummingbirds and Hikaru-kun that were useless before the skeletons had the fastest enemy extermination rate of anyone on the 1st floor .

There was no enemy that could withstand being blinded then shot from 3 different directions .

Our formation is Jean and Meg in front, Bonnie-san using hit and run tactics and me and Patty at the rear .

That was our winning formation but I rushed through the 1st level with a plus alpha (TN . plus alpha is a wasei-eigo term [and Korean apparently] for something extra/extra special . )

We entered the 4th ward in the morning and by 3pm we were in the 5th ward .

“Shall we have a break soon?” Patty suggests after looking at the status of the other members .

As expected .

As expected of the leader of [angel wing] . Shes really admirable .

Newcomers rarely notice that their fatigue is building up and though slight their movement dulls .

Patty is always keeping an eye of the fatigue of all the members as well as making sure they stay hydrated, eat properly and treat any injuries .

“Alright . I’m preparing a special snack today . Please look forward to it . ”

I enter a small suitable room and prepare the snack which today is a crepe .

I make it a different way to restaurants though . It’s often made with caramel sauce, orange juice and orange zest .

Today, however, I am outdoors and in a labyrinth not to mention oranges are out of season so I decided to make a simple one .

I had already made the dough back at the hotel so I placed the iron pan over the fire, melted the b.u.t.ter and added the dough . I sprinkled sugar and orange liqueur on .

The alcohol in the liqueur evaporated after catching fire . Flambeed to completion .

“It’s like fire magic! The orange smells wonderful!”

Meg who loves meat and sweat things lets out an entranced voice .

That’s right . Sweets and cakes are enjoyed with the 5 senses .

After enjoying the sight, sound and smell please enjoy the warmth and taste .

It’s cold in the labyrinth today so the warm snack was popular with everyone .

After eating the snack Bonnie-san brings her body close to mine .

Patty’s eyes open wide .

“Ippei……the usual… . . do it…… . . ”

“Wh, what?!”

Patty stares at us .

I know how you feel .

“Cleaning magic… . . ”

“Right… . . ”

Un . I also misunderstood at first .
