Mob Protagonist ~ Mob in the Novel But There is a Problem

Chapter28，Part1

Chapter 28.1. Mutualism

I’m eating Hornbeak Cow Sukiyaki. What is this meat? It’s marbled meat, that’s for sure. But it also feels like it melts, but leaves a solid lean taste in my mouth. I don’t want to think about what kind of monster it is.

I have never eaten meat like this. The marbling and the lean are in perfect balance. In my previous life, I preferred beef that cost about 600 yen, rather than beef that cost 1,500 yen for 100 grams. I was not a rich man, though, as I ate 600 yen meat only on rare occasions, right?

“Come on in, Mii-neechan.”

Haru’s meek face turns into a smile as he tries to put a large portion of meat on my small plate, but he’s so young I’m afraid I’m going to drop it. It’s high-quality meat, and it would be a waste if I dropped it.

I have no choice but to ask him to put it on a small plate. It would be a waste if he dropped it. The rotation of meat, vegetables, vegetables, tofu, and meat changes, but this is inevitable.

“Em-chan, eat this too, eat it~.”

Tamamo also puts meat on my small plate. If they put it on my small plate, I have no choice but to eat it. It is a natural part of good manners. No leftovers are allowed. I’m a good boy.

I eat hot meat. I want to eat it all, but Miu’s mouth is so small that I get cursed with having to eat it in small pieces. I forgot to include white rice in the rotation! That’s a big deal. Please refill.

“There’s melon for dessert, too.”

I knew I didn’t need a refill. Dessert for girls is another meal. I know it’s not true. I was astonished when I became a woman. I could eat as much as I wanted. I’ll have to present it at the conference. Or maybe this is a women-only secret.

And so Miu finished her dinner with plenty of mystery meat and melon for dessert in her stomach. I’m very satisfied.

After having a full belly, the butler guides me to the magic tools warehouse. On the way there, my father also paid a visit, saying hello, and good evening, and carrying a bottle of liquor as a gift. Whiskey? It looks like they are going to discuss something. It’s not my fault. Maybe he wants to make friends.

I reach the vault with Tamamo. It’s a vault with a thick magical metal door and walls that seem to be enchanted. The door looks quite tight. It is not easy to open. You are not a former master of opening safes, are you, Butler-san?

Tamamo’s family must trust the butler. After he does the fingerprint, biometric, and magic authentication are complete, and when he swipes the card, the door starts to open.

“That’s great, Tamamo!”

“Even Tamamo has rarely seen this door open before!”

Just seeing the thick round metal door open is exciting. It’s a sight ordinary people have only seen in movies.

And then I was surprised to see what was inside.

Swords and staves lined up in glass cases. There is a metal cupboard like a safe-deposit box containing magical tools.

In this world, some powerful weapons and accessories get made long ago and whose manufacturing methods have been lost. Yes, it’s a template, I understand.

I hold hands with Tamamo and look around with eyes sparkling with curiosity. I wondered if Tamamo had never been there before, her face shining with a twinkle.

Tamamo’s family is just magicians. Why don’t they become nobles? They have money and magic power, but I wonder. Is there a reason? No, I just haven’t heard it. Maybe the noble? Should I not worry about it? Let’s go through it.

“Miu-sama. It’s dangerous, so please don’t pour mana into the magic tools. Other than that, I have permission from the Master for you to touch it.”

“Yes! I understand!”

I raise my hand and answer cheerfully. It seems to me, what I have to do is not choose [Use] for [Item]. Pour mana into it? In my brain, I [Use] [Item]. I can’t pour mana into it.

“Em-chan, this jewelry is beautiful.”

“Wow, that’s true. But let’s wear gloves.”

Tamamo opens the shelf and casually grabs the jewel to show it.

Finger grease is the natural enemy of gemstones’ brilliance. Gloves. Let’s put on gloves, shall we?

While watching Tamamo return the jewel to the shelf, I carefully observed the surroundings and narrowed my eyes.

“There it is. That one.”

There is a familiar magic tool from the game. A rusty crown stood on the shelf. Compared to other gems and magic tools, it’s a few steps down, and the value seems low.

It’s a dirty, rusty crown. A small jewel shines in the middle of the crown.

“May I see that one?”

I ask the butler, and he nods his permission.

“The Master has permitted me to show you any magic tools. It is quite old, and it is called Crown of Clay. There is very little mana left in it. I will prepare something else for you.”

“Hmm, it sure looks a little dirty. I want to exchange it for this!”

With a rusty forehead in hand, I smiled. While I’m at it, I’ll also exchange the rusty crown (fake) in the Item Box.

For a moment, the rusty crown wavered, but the butler didn’t notice. That’s right. He wouldn’t expect someone to slip it in front of him.

After that, the butler showed me a lot of magic tools, mainly jewels, but since I achieved my goal, I started rowing the boat. I think I ate a little too much.

After I take a bath with Tamamo, I fell asleep and slept in the same bed. Good night. I’m tired from playing a lot today. I entered the bath after washing my back. A gentleman might shed tears of blood.

The next day. I woke up a little late. It’s eight o’clock. Before I knew it, I’m sleeping on a king-sized bed with Tamamo, Haru, and Kawa.
