Chapter 199 [Interlude] Morning In The City
After completing a quest, I returned to the capital city.
"Ah... I slept well."
I'm Leaf Chemist.
I left my hometown and now work as an adventurer in the capital city of Gater Nyiiga Kingdom.
I'm staying at the house of Mercury-san, the granddaughter of the village's Granny Merlin.
"It's been a while since I slept in my own bed."
It feels so nostalgic.
I've been traveling abroad recently.
'Hmm... My lord... Are you already awake?'
Tai-chan in the form of a kitten wakes up.
It seems I woke her up.
"Good morning, Tai-chan. Sorry for waking you up. You can go back to sleep."
'Mmm... I'm waking up...'
Tai-chan jumps onto my chest.
I place Tai-chan on my head and leave the room.
Tai-chan looks sleepy.
"Want some coffee?"
'Huh? Coffee? What's that?'
Tai-chan seems unfamiliar with it.
Well, it's a human drink after all.
"It's delicious. It will wake you up."
'Mmm... I want some.'
Since Mercury-san will also have some, I'll make a bit extra.
I head to the kitchen.
I grind [some beans] and prepare the coffee.
While waiting for the water to boil, I clean up.
Tai-chan sits on the kitchen table for a while.
I use a special potion to make the kitchen sparkling clean.
"Ah... Good morning, Leaf-kun."
"Ah, Mercury-san, good morning."
Mercury-san comes out of the bedroom in a tank top and underwear, looking sloppy.
"That's not very proper. A lady shouldn't dress like that."
"You're so noisy... It's fine, we're at home. Right?"
I nod.
I've gotten used to it. I know Mercury-san is a bit sloppy at home.
Since she doesn't listen to advice.
"The coffee is ready."
"Thank you..."
I pour the brewed coffee into cups and serve it to Mercury-san and Tai-chan.
Tai-chan transforms into a human form.
Sniff, sniff, she sniffs the aroma...
"It smells nice."
"That's because it's coffee, a drink."
"Hmm... then I'll have a sip."
Tai-chan licks the coffee with her tongue.
"Ugh."
"Huh?"
"WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Light beams (non-destructive) shoot out from Tai-chan's eyes.
"My eyes...! My eyes are...!!!!"
"BFTTTTTTTTT!"
Mercury-san spits out the coffee she was drinking.
Oh well, it's messy.
But the coffee stains disappear automatically, so it's fine.
"THIS IS NOT GOOOOOOOOOOD!"
Mercury-san stands up and bangs the table.
Huh?
"What's wrong, Mercury-san?"
"It's not 'what's wrong'! What's that? Beams coming out of her eyes!"
Beams continue to shoot out from Tai-chan's eyes.
"It's the effect of the [Mega Shake Coffee]."
"Eh... Mega...? What's that?"
"That coffee has the effect of expelling waste from the eyeballs in the form of beams when consumed."
"Why turn it into beams!?"
Even if you ask why, that's just how it is...
"Wait, really? I've been drinking this coffee every day. Wait, was I like this every day!?"
"Yes! Didn't you notice...?"
"I didn't notice... I have low blood pressure in the morning... I'm usually dazed. It just makes my eyes a bit sharper."
I see, since she's emitting beams herself, and it's not destructive, she didn't notice.
"Oh no... Was I shooting beams every morning...?"
"Yes."
"NOOOOOOOOOO!"
Mercury-san holds her head in despair.
"Come to think of it, when the guild members visited in the morning, they seemed really shocked... Was it because of this...!"
Mercury-san lets out a heavy sigh.
"Also! Wasn't the coffee stain supposed to disappear automatically!?"
"Huh? Ah, yes."
"What's up with that! Why does the stain disappear automatically!"
"Well, by using the [Sanctuary Detergent], this area becomes a sanctuary, you know?"
It's the Sanctuary Detergent that I learned from Saint Fart Granny.
When you use it for a certain period, that place becomes a sanctuary and cleanses the 'impurities.'
"That's not dirt, it's impurity!"
"Oh, I see. So, what's the deal with that?"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! It's been a while! I'm so annoyed!"
Tai-chan is shooting beams from her eyes, and Mercury-san is getting fired up... Yeah.
Our usual daily life is back!
