Slave Harem in the Labyrinth of the Other World (LN)

Besides, if things have gotten so far already then Its too late for me to say that I dont like fish all that much now.

Theres no issue with eating fish. Every ten days.

I nod to Miria in affirmation, and Roxanne translates my words to her.

As for the methods of preparing the fish, we could sprinkle a little oil on top of it and the grill it exactly as it is, or we can make meuniere by dredging it in flour and then frying it with butter, lemon juice and a little bit of parsley in order to make sure that its moisture doesnt escape and its going to be crisp on the outside but soft and juicy on the inside, or perhaps we could go and just saute it in olive oil or just go for something a little bit simpler and just fry the entire thing in a mixture of olive oil and red wine or simply boil it with the addition of a little bit of salt and fish sauce. I know that it all might sound relatively simple, but trust me, when it comes down to the taste, all of the option that Ive just described taste great.

Oh my God! I didnt realize it until after I finished listing all of the possible ways of preparing fish, but all of them sound so tempting that I think I actually started drooling for a bit just now myself!

When Roxanne finished translating my rather long and elaborative explanation, Miria leans forward with her eyes shining like little stars. Looks like my words got her pretty fired up.

X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X!

She says that she definitely wants master to be her master now.

Wow, that was literally all it took to convince her to the idea of becoming my slave? Either shes that easy to please as long as fish are going to be involved or I possess some incredible gaslighting skills that I was unaware of my entire life. Most probably its going to be the first option though.

Anyway.

That was incredibly nice of her to say. Could you ask her if she herself is able to cook next?

X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X?

X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X!

Yes, apparently she can.Just leave it to me!she said.

Just leave it to me!, huh? Well, I have to admit that she seems to be incredibly eager when it comes to cooking.

Since the world of this game is based upon the one that heavily resembles medieval Europe, that means that the things like restaurants and convenience store are not only long ways from being invented and implemented into the daily lives of the populace, but it also probably means that the concepts of going out to eat or having food delivered to you is not going to be invented for a long time, the only exception to that rule being the dining lounges at the inns where you have to be renting a room if you want to make use of those facilities.

Because of that, if you want to enjoy some quality food, you dont have any other choice but to prepare that quality food yourself, and not everyone might have the willingness or the skills required to prepare good food on a daily basis. This is one of those things that were available in Japan that Im really missing here: the ability to just go out and eat whatever you had a craving for on that particular day without having to prepare that thing yourself.

Its great that shes so eager to prepare fish based dishes entirely on her own, but thats not what this is about here. My main concern here is that cooking fish every day is going to be troublesome for us money-wise since fish can probably get very expensive depending on what kind of it youd want to eat, and after eating them too often we would probably get too used to eating them and they would not taste as good anymore. Can you tell her that so that we could see how shes going to react?

X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X . X X X X X X X X X X.

She says that she understands where master is coming from and that shed try to adjust accordingly.

Okay, thats another potential issue resolved. On the flipside, there is a very simple solution that we can employ to remedy it, and that solution is to simply not have Miria cook everyday by herself.

Does she have any issues with fighting in the Labyrinths together with us?

X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X?

X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X!

She says that she doesnt, and that she also has experience with fighting against the Fishkin monsters in the Labyrinths.

Is this girl capable of talking about anything else that does not involve the word fishwith it?

I feel like the fact that she doesnt know Brahim can be quite detrimental for her. Well, we cam always try to make her learn it.. because eif she doesnt, there will be no fish for her at all.

X X X X X X X X X X X X.

Roxanne, no, what the fuck girl!? That was one thing that I didnt want you to translate! Bloody hell!

When Roxanne translated it, Miria glared at me as if I just killed her parents. Well, she seems ready for the Labyrinths at least.

X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X.

X X X X X X X X X X.

X X X X X X X X .

Uhm I have convinced her that master is not a bad person.

Roxanne seems to have salvaged the situation.

So, have you decided?

After Miria regains her calm, the Slave Merchant gestures me to wrap it up. After I nod at him, he takes Miria and leaves the room. It was considerate of him.

There are only three of us in the room now, so I ask Roxanne and Sherry for their opinion.

So, what do you think about those three female slaves that I have interviewed?

The one that you interviewed as the second one is an absolute no-go in my opinion. Everything around her screams that shes utterly unreliable, so if we took her in she would only drag us down in the Labyrinths, assuming that shed be willing to go there with us in the first place.

I know, right? I totally understand what you mean, Miss Roxanne! I also feel the exact same way about her! Nothing good is going come from her joining us!

Roxanne was talking about that woman who was very beautiful but seemed to be unwilling to do anything at the same time, with Sherry seconding her words along with enthusiastic nods of her head.
