Chapter 10 – Cleanup
After Great Yamazaki and the others rushed out of the studio in a panic, Wataru and the others cleaned up the studio.
In the end, they were unable to sell the chronic healing potion and had to use some acute potions instead.
At least they were able to see Great Yamazaki’s face turn completely pale as he fled home trembling, so that was a bit of a relief.
“Well, that pitiful sight of Great Yamazaki was quite refreshing, to be honest.”
“I hope he learns his lesson. In our world, it wouldn’t be strange for someone to become a criminal slave, but it seems like things are pretty relaxed here.”
“I was proud of the fact that we live in a country with good public safety, where violent crimes are rare, but after this incident, I’ve lost some of my confidence.”
Great Yamazaki, who appeared unharmed on the outside but had been beaten up countless times, crawled back home.
In the end, he is so shaken just by seeing Aire’s figure that he is unlikely to come back for revenge.
However, this incident made him think that he might want to rent a safer place to live.
Since he had a product that some people thought was worth 5 million yen, it was definitely better to have full security.
He began to feel that he couldn’t afford to be too busy or lazy.
“Aire did a great job this time. You were able to hold back and not kill them properly, and I’m sorry I made you do something unpleasant at the end.”
“No, it’s okay. I’m glad I could help, too.”
Aire said this humbly, but she doesn’t have a sadistic streak.
Fighting a stronger opponent would be one thing, but fighting someone much weaker than herself while holding back and causing them pain would be an act incompatible with Aire’s pride as a warrior.
Still, Aire did her job without complaint.
Even though it was her role as a slave, Wataru felt bad.
He patted Aire’s head, which seemed to be depressed.
“E-ehehe… thank you.”
“How about I reward you for your hard work with a big mouthful of expensive German smoked sausage?”
“Uh-huh, is that okay?!”
“Yeah, you’ve worked hard enough.”
“Yay! I like thick, chunky, big ones!”
“Ara, Master, I also worked hard in front of scary men.”
“Wait, is Mariel going to be left out? Then I’ll be happy with half.”
“Oh, I feel bad that I’m making you do this.”
“Ah, this is my fault. I’ll treat Mariel to a delicious cake from the department store.”
“I begged for it. Thanks for the treat.”
Mariel apologized with a teasing pout.
Since coming to Japan, Aire has been a fan of the thick German bratwurst, which is actually smoked rather than smoked in liquid.
Aire had a fondness for meat in general, and smoked meat, in particular, seemed to appeal to her.
When it was cooked, it made a nice crackling sound as soon as you bit into it, and the juices began to ooze out.
It was very tasty, but also very expensive.
In Wataru’s economic sense, who had only recently started earning money, it was a very expensive luxury item, but he wanted to reward Aire for her hard work.
In addition, although Mariel didn’t do anything overtly, she had supported Wataru’s idea before the negotiations.
It was a quiet achievement, but she had actually been very helpful.
If he could repay her with a cake, it would be cheap.
“I hope I can take Aire to Germany and Mariel to France one day. It would be fun to drive around and try the real thing.”
“I want to go!”
“Is it difficult to do that?”
“Well, to be honest, I don’t really understand either.”
In order for Aire and Mariel to travel, they need passports and visas.
However, they do not belong to any country on Earth, and they have no family registry.
In effect, they are the same as illegal immigrants.
Or are they treated as refugees?
Even if they want to travel abroad, they will either have to use dubious methods or go through a very cumbersome process to obtain a family register.
Either way, they will have to spend a lot of time and effort.
“Well, let’s leave the future for now and hope that Aire can learn to control herself a little more.”
“What, did I do something wrong?”
“No, what you did was definitely not wrong. It’s just that you didn’t go easy enough…”
By Aire’s standards, she probably went easy enough.
This effort must be recognized.
After all, the possessor of the power to easily twist and kill monsters from another world did not kill anyone.
However, some of Great Yamazaki’s subordinates were in critical condition with broken bones.
Depending on where they were hit, it wouldn’t be surprising if they developed nerve symptoms such as paralysis of the lower body.
Since they were also sprayed with potions, the problem shouldn’t show up. Probably.
However, in some cases, it wouldn’t be surprising if the situation was called excessive self-defense and they were arrested.
“I’m sorry…”
“No, you really don’t need to apologize. I would have been beaten up by myself, so it’s true that I was saved by Aire.”
When he saw Aire’s dejected expression and her tail hanging limply, Wataru felt a sense of guilt.
It wasn’t all Aire’s fault.
There were bad rumors, so it would have been better to meet in a place like a café where there were more people.
Wataru’s lack of caution was definitely part of the reason for the riot.
“The responsibility of a slave is also the responsibility of the master,” said the slave trader, Masso.
It’s Wataru’s fault that he can’t use it well.
That’s why he must learn from his mistakes.
“That’s why we’re going to learn martial arts to help Aire understand the power of this world. Aire, you’ve already seen the videos, right?”
“Is that okay?”
“Yes.”
“Yay!”
Aire’s eyes lit up, and her tail started to wag.
Oh, she’s so happy about it.
The things Aire is deeply interested in in this world are food videos and martial arts.
If she does some sparring and fights, she’ll get a better idea of the standard strength of this world and stop breaking things too much.
“Hey, hey, what kind of opponents can I fight? Shimoshiba Morihei, Ender Gozo, Michael Tyson?”
“Well, I don’t think that will be easy…”
“What about Big Sun Gracie?!”
“That’s going to be tough too…”
As Aire named one great fighter after another with a twinkle in her eye, Wataru could only smile wryly.
Will she ever be able to fight against such great fighters?
And then, on the sixth of August…
Wataru and the others visited a famous mixed martial arts gym in the city.
“I am looking forward to it! I’m looking forward to it!”
Aire’s loud voice echoed around the gym, which was filled with many trainees.

I’m guessing, we’re not doing ‘Phrasing’

Expensive? Only if you pay for it. If you eat your own homemade smoked cuts of meat from your own (or your neighbor’s) pigs, smoked with the smoke from leafy branches cut from your personally owned forest, then it’s actually quite cheap, tasty and healthy.
