Spirit’s Paradise And The Idle Another World Life

Mischievous Scheme?

—————————–

 

After getting what I wanted to some extent and finishing my shopping, I finally returned to my room to take a break.

 

“Sylphy, can you tell me about what the guild members talked about?”

 

“Hey, hey, Yuta.
Bell.
Meat, eat.”

 

Before Sylphy could reply, Bell jumped into my arms.
Oh yeah, I promised we’d eat when we got back to the inn.

 

“Oh, that’s right.
I’ll prepare it now, so just wait a bit.
Let’s talk after we eat.
Sylphy, do you want to eat too?”

 

“Yes, please.”

 

I quickly washed the dishes I bought and placed the thick meat sandwich with rough bird’s herb-roasted chicken that the street vendor recommended on the plates.

 

“It looks so delicious!” “Kyuu!” “It’s huge!” “Ku ku!”

 

Everyone was so excited, and just looking at them made me feel pumped up.
The thickness of the meat was no joke.
When I told them they could eat, Bell and the others immediately started munching on the thick sandwich.

 

Bell floated up in the air, holding the sandwich with both hands, and opened her mouth wide to take a big bite.
But her mouth was too small to handle the size of the sandwich, and she could only take a bite which was half the thickness.
Her posture was unstable, and she was spinning around trying to eat it.
This sandwich seemed like a formidable foe for Bell’s small mouth.

 

Rain and Tamamo seemed to have no problems at all.
They both opened their big mouths wide and attacked the sandwich with joy.
Dolphin and Fox also had big mouths, so there didn’t seem to be any problems.

 

Turu calmly held his sandwich and nibbled on it like a small animal.
He seemed to be enjoying it very much, as he ate it with single-minded focus.
His way of eating might be the most correct, but I still wanted to encourage Bell, even though I knew it was difficult.

 

Suddenly, there was a “swish” sound, and when I turned around, I was shocked to see what had happened.
Sylphy had used wind magic to cut the sandwich into small pieces.

 

“Oh, Yuta.
What’s wrong?”

 

Sylphy noticed my stunned expression and spoke to me.

 

“Well, Sylphy, I don’t think that’s right.
We have this thick sandwich, and I think it’s polite to hold it with both hands and not take a big bite.”

 

“Is that so? In this world, it’s considered proper for ladies to eat in small pieces when they can, as it’s considered unseemly for a woman to open her mouth wide.
I am a lady, so I follow this practice.”

 

So Sylphy is a lady.
I have no way to counter her argument because my opinion is just a preference.
Men’s preferences can be easily dismissed by a lady’s standards.

 

“I see.
Ladies need to be refined.
Come to think of it, it’s the same in my world too.”

 

“Hehe, it seems that some things are the same no matter where you go.”

 

Sylphy said with a smile as she ate the small pieces of the sandwich.
It certainly looked elegant.

 

“Yuta, Bell is also a lady.”

 

No, Bell, ladies don’t hold half-eaten sandwiches up high in the air and declare themselves a lady.
But it’s okay because she’s cute.

 

Now, it’s my turn to eat instead of just watching.
I take a big bite of the hot rough bird herb-roasted sandwich.
The bread is crispy on the surface, while the inside is soft and soaked in the juice of the rough bird meat.
When I bite into the meat, I feel its tender elasticity, and at the same time, the aroma of the herbs and meat explodes in my mouth.

 

… This is delicious.
I chew on the sandwich, enjoying its flavors.
Although it was twice the price of other food stalls, it was worth it.
If I see it again, I’ll buy a lot more.

 

We happily eat and chat, enjoying the voluminous sandwich.
Since one sandwich is enough to fill us up, it’s more cost-effective than skewers, in a way.

 

“That was delicious!” “Kyuu!” “I liked it!” “Ku ku!”

 

“If you see it again, tell me then I will buy more.
I have to talk to Sylphy, so everyone go for a walk or something,” Yuta said.

 

“Walk! Look for something delicious!” the group replied enthusiastically.

 

“Kyuuuu!” said Rain.

 

“We’ll find it!” another Turu.

 

After finishing a large sandwich, I watched Bell and the others leave cheerfully in search of something tasty.
It was a relief that they went for a walk obediently, as he was expecting nothing but bad news.

 

“So Sylphy, what did the guild say?” he asked.

 

“Well, there were various rumors, but none of them were good.
Do you want to hear them?” she replied.

 

“I do, but why do you seem so happy about it?” he asked.

 

“Hehe.
Well, it’s because of all the terrible rumors that have been going around.
It’s fun to imagine what kind of situation you’ll be in when you shine, Yuta.
Let’s do our best,” she giggled.

 

The content of her words were unpleasant, but she was laughing adorably.

 

“Sylphy, has your personality changed for the worse?” he asked.

 

“Hehe.
It might have, but I think it’s all because of my contractor’s influence,” she replied.

 

The contractor was me, wasn’t it?

 

“I was considered a good person when I was back in my hometown.
So maybe it’s just this world that’s bad,” he said.

 

After all, he was often told that he was a good person, but with some reservations.
He was a good person, without a doubt.

 

“If the world is bad, then there’s nothing we can do about it, right?” she said.

 

“Yep.
If the world is bad, then there’s nothing we can do,” he replied.

 

If the world was bad, then he wasn’t.
It was a flawless and impeccable theory.

 

“So, can you tell me about the content?” he asked.

 

“Sure.
The first thing that became a hot topic was the guild master who persuaded a spirit user to quit and then the spirit user picked a fight with him.
It seems that he was called a kind person,” she replied.

 

…A kind guild master? There was no such person, was there? He never kept his manners during the conversation, did he?

 

“Could it be that the information is being manipulated?” he asked.

 

“Yes.
Yuta is being treated as an uncooperative troublemaker who can’t read the room,” she replied.

 

…As someone who had worked in Japanese society where reading the atmosphere was a must-have skill, being unable to read the atmosphere was laughable.

 

“Who is spreading these rumors? The guild master?” he asked.

 

“The source is the guild master, but it has become the policy of the entire adventurer guild.
They share information as a group and are being guided to avoid involvement with Yuta,” she replied.

 

Bullying is uncool.
That’s why, even though he acted boldly, no one came to bother him.
He was completely isolated.

 

“A scammer who can’t read the room.
That’s a terrible accusation,” he said.

 

“Oh, well.
It’s been proven that Yuta can’t read the room.
When you faced Eltina with a blank expression and applied for the beginner’s seminar in that atmosphere of the guild, the surrounding adventurers understood that you really couldn’t read the atmosphere,” she replied.

 

“That’s rude.
I could read the atmosphere, but I just ignored it because it was necessary,” he said.

 

“I don’t think it makes much of a difference,” she replied.

 

“Huh? Not reading the atmosphere and reading the atmosphere and ignoring it are completely different things,” he said.

 

“From the perspective of those around you, they can’t tell the difference,” she said.

 

“…You’re right.
Was that all the rumor that was going around?” he asked.

 

“No.
Carl and the adventurers who lost a bet to you have been spreading rumors about your despicable actions.
Such as taking all their money, manipulating them to bet and then taking all the winnings, and also a rumor about trying to woo Eltina and getting rejected,” she replied.

 

“I forgave him by taking all his savings because he said he didn’t want to quit being an adventurer, and since the bet didn’t work out, I took it upon myself to be compensated.
That’s a completely different story.
Besides, I never tried to seduce Eltina or anything like that,” he said.

 

“It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not.
The goal is to make Yuta look like the bad guy,” she replied.

 

That’s terrible.
Especially the part about trying to seduce Eltina and being rejected.
It’s unforgivable how he treats me because I don’t have the guts to even try.

 

“So what´s your plan now, Yuta? Are you going to get revenge on the Adventurer’s Guild?” she asked.

 

Don’t look at me with such an excited expression.
It makes me feel like I have to do something incredible.

 

“Well, at first I thought it would be enough to do well and laugh at their lack of foresight, but that’s not enough, is it? I want to push the Adventurer’s Guild to the brink of despair,” he said.

 

“That’s right.
Half measures won’t do.
We need to teach them a lesson they won’t forget.
And the problem with the spirit magic users is that they don’t how to use it properly.
I feel bad that even the spirits are being looked down upon,” she replied.

 

So Sylphy was also upset about that.
From what I heard, I could even teach a thing or two.
I think just asking for help in a simple and straightforward way would be enough to make some progress without trying to show off.

 

“If we make it too easy to learn, it might be used for war, so we should consider various conditions and maybe create a serious clan or guild for spirit magic users.
Ah, but since it’s originally a spirit-dominant contract, it might not be so bad.
Hehe.
It would be quite a sight to see what the guild master would do if spirit magic users started to shine,” she said.

 

“For now, I can think of two things.
First, we can advance beyond the 50th level of the labyrinth where they´re currently stuck and not sell any of the materials to the Adventurer’s Guild.
Second, we can create a clan or guild for spirit magic users and train them to be more successful than the Adventurer’s Guild.
Both are doable as long as Sylphy and the others are with us,” he added.

 

It may just be wishful thinking, but based on what I heard, it doesn’t seem impossible.
The other Great Spirits are also planning to form contracts, so if we encounter any difficulties, we can ask for the introduction of suitable spirits.
I think it’ll go well.

 

“That’s great.
Both are good ideas.
Let’s do both.
It’s definitely going to be interesting,” she replied.

 

Both? I think both would be too much to handle.

 

“That’s right.
It’ll be tough to do both, especially with the exploration of the Death land.
I think we don’t have enough time,” he said.

 

“Really? It’ll be easy for us to go beyond the 50th level of the labyrinth as long as we’re with you.
The only thing that will take time is training the spirit magic users,” she replied.

 

“I see.
Then maybe it’s not impossible after all.
Well, let’s take it one step at a time.
First, let’s focus on exploring the labyrinth.
Once we have some spare time, we can start training spirit magic users,” he said.

 

“Got it.
Hehe.
I can’t wait to see the guild master’s face.
It’s going to be so much fun,” she giggled.

 

Maybe I’m really the one poorly influencing.
Sorry, Sylphy.
