BXBX NOVEL Chapter 365
Translator: Tseirp
Kusunoki Miri did not know where she was above the clouds .
If she could at least see the sun or the stars, she could calculate her bearings but the only window in the room was now boarded up with a wooden board .
The wooden board in the otherwise stylish room indicated that it was a rushed job .
“How was it? It doesn’t look like you ate much today . The chef made that just for you . And today was even a mother-style bento . ”
Daijiro referred to Miri’s recent loss of appetite .
It wasn’t as though she was completely not eating anything but she was leaving more than half her food uneaten .
“There isn’t a chef on this ship . It’s probably something bought from a restaurant and kept in an item bag . ”
“It’s convenient so what’s wrong about that . At least eat the rice . See I even sprinkled on egg and seaweed furikake . ”
Daijiro said and picked up the fried chicken that Miri did not eat from the bento and brought it to her mouth .
After seeing her swallow the fried chicken, Miri slowly spoke .
“That piece fell on the floor just now . ”
“Eh? You’re kidding . ”
“I was kidding . ”
A short silence followed .
“ … Famiris has turned into a meanie . ”
“Anybody would turn mean if locked in such a place . ”
Daijiro sighed .
Then, she ate an octopus-shaped wiener .
“So, Famiris . What was the meaning of that letter? To buy Milky’s book . After seeing that lemonade marble message and checking Milky’s book, I didn’t notice any particular content . It was just a regular BL manga . That was why I allowed it to be sold at the book sale . ” (TL: BL = Boys Love genre)
Daijiro licked her fingers and wiped it with a wet tissue before taking out Milky’s book from her item bag .
Daijiro didn’t seem to hate the R18 development between young men and was looking a little fixedly at the book .
“Of course . There was no meaning to that book . That was just a means to make Onii stay in Mallegory until tomorrow . ”
“Means? For what?”
“12,000 Tsuaobal soldiers will start invading Mallegory tomorrow . ”
“The royal army will attack the capital of its own country!? Is that child the key to stop the invasion?”
“No way . Onii will not be able to stop the invasion no matter what he does . Onii has a different role . ”
Miri said as she opened the seal on the furikake inside the bento box .
“Onii has the role of bringing salvation to this world . The role of avoiding destruction . The role to avoid the end of the world . ”
She said as she watched the furikake spilled down like sand in an hourglass .
“Wait, Famiris . Your ability to look into the future should only extend to a couple of seconds into the future . But the things you are speaking of now makes it seem as though …”
Daijiro seemed to have noticed something and asked .
“Famiris, how far did you see?”
Miri did not answer her .
Miri looked in the direction out the window .
Although all she could see was the wooden cover .
※※※
Jofre and Elize were currently investigating the mysterious ruins they entered from the basement of Suzuki’s home warehouse . They called it investigating but they were not investigating anything in particular and were just walking around aimlessly .
The ruins which used to be a dungeon still glowed with a faint light even without any monsters remaining so they were able to enter deeper without having any torches .
“Look, Jofre! This looks like an edible mushroom!”
“There are some here too!”
Jofre and Elize picked up red and blue mushrooms .
Naturally, both kinds were poisonous mushrooms .
Jofre and Elize placed the mushrooms they harvested in front of Centaur who was waiting in front of a large door .
Centaur came to help Jofre and Elize a few days ago but for some reason sat in front of that door and did not move since then .
Because of that, Jofre and Elize brought food to it .
Centaur ate the poisonous mushrooms that they brought to it but it still showed no signs of moving .
At first, Jofre and Elize tried to push and pull Centaur to move it but they had already given up and went to have their meal .
Of dried meat .
Anything apart from meat had already been sucked into Centaur’s stomach so all they had left was dried meat .
“It’s delicious Jofre . ”
“Yeah, Elize . But we are about to run out of water . ”
“We have to secure some then . Right, let’s tell Jo about this place once we return . I’m sure Jo would be excited . ”
“That’s a great idea! We’ll call everyone and have a picnic!”
“Picnic!? I’m looking forward to that! We can make sandwiches and rice balls . ”
“Did you know? Elize . They wrap the rice balls with a black paper in this country . ”
“Eh? Really? Why must they wrap it with a black paper? Can’t they wrap with red paper?”
“Red paper is out of the question . To the townspeople, red paper signifies that there will be a war soon . ”
“Really!? Then we won’t be able to have a picnic . ”
“Right? So we should use black paper . ”
“Ah, Jofre! If black is better than red, can’t we wrap it with dried meat? Although the meat is originally red, it turned black once it was dried . If we wrap with this, won’t it signify the end of fighting and for everyone to have a delicious picnic?”
“That’s a great idea! But dried meat is hard and not suited for wrapping around rice … right! Then we can just wrap it with grilled meat?”
“Yes, that sounds great, Jofre! It sounds delicious!”
That moment was the birth of the concept of meat-rolled rice balls in this world .
At that moment .
Elize accidentally dropped the dried meat in her hand in her excitement .
“Ah, my dried meat … eh?”
There was a small button near the location where Elize dropped her dried meat .
Elize pushed the button without any sense of wariness .
The large door groaned and started opening outward .
“… Amazing … I wonder if there is treasure ahead?”
“It must be, Jofre! And I hear water!”
“Drinkable water!? Let’s go, Elize! Treasure and water are waiting for me!”
“Okay, Jofre!”
The two of them happily went in .
【Thank you very much . 】
There was the voice of a woman .
Elize turned to look back but there was only Centaur there slowly getting up .
“Elize! We found a spring!”
“Really!? I’m coming!”
Elize assumed that she was hearing things and ran toward Jofre’s voice .
