Chapter 108 - The Curry War

Prev | TOC | Next "The Best-Tasting Curry Championship!" Before us now lay an assortment of curries from all sorts of different manufacturers. For reasons of business and legal complications, I can't give you the specific brand names. Just imagine that we have curries from a whole variety of manufacturers lined up here. We had everything from curries sold by specialty curry restaurant chains to regional retort-pack curries I'd bought at tourist attractions, as well as canned curry. Basically, I'd brought out every kind of curry I'd ever eaten in my life. Now, here's the question: Which of these curries should we make available as dungeon drops? "How the hell are we supposed to decide that?!" If I just declared, "This particular curry from this particular manufacturer is the best!" we'd have a full-blown war on our hands! And so, I summoned Bugu-kun, Tanya-san, the Gem Master, Silk-san, and everyone else to hold the Best-Tasting Cu...

"Are you hurt?" "No. The blade is fine, too." Luca checked his sword and wiped the dirt off with a piece of cloth. It was a secondhand sword he'd finally managed to buy with the money he'd saved from repairing shoes. I'd accompanied him when he went to choose it.

Prev | TOC | Next (Ivano and Guido's chapter) Ivano was pouring the champagne he had been served down his throat without the slightest hesitation. In the rather lavish room, the crystal glasses sparkled, and the champagne inside gave off a rich aroma. It was a shame he wasn't in the right frame of mind to savor it slowly. Today, he had been summoned to the royal palace on urgent business, but all they had done was check the ledgers and quantities of the magic tools supplied to the Mage Corps, including waterproof cloth and other such items. He had gotten a hunch the moment he realized that was all they wanted. Dahlia had been summoned by Volf's older brother, Guido Scalfarotto. The purpose was probably to separate her from him and have her come to meet Guido alone. With Volf there, Dahlia's safety was unlikely to be an issue, but Ivano was still a little worried. He decided that if he hadn't heard from her by evening, he would check with Volf. If that wasn't p...
