"If anyone insults you, give them a good beating."
"No matter what happens, I will stand behind you and take the blame for you. But there's one thing you need to remember: you are not allowed to bow down to anyone. Because if you do, you're not just losing face for yourself, you're losing face for me. Understand?!"
As the saying goes, a loud drum needs a heavy hammer.
He never cared about saving face or anything like that, or rather, he was shameless on one hand and thick-skinned on the other.
The reason I say this is because Mine is a strong girl, and it's okay to be a little harsh with her if you want her to grow up quickly.
As it turned out, his words had an effect.
Mine looked up at him, her pink eyes shining brightly, then nodded vigorously in response:
"I understand, Master!"
hiss--
Owner....
This nickname, though a bit awkward, is also strangely kind of satisfying!
He didn't refuse or stop her, but instead took her hand and prepared to go to dinner.
Inside the restaurant, facing a large table of dishes.
This time, Mine didn't wolf down her bread like she had in the alley before. Perhaps she remembered what Mahiro had said and understood that she represented Mahiro's face, so she imitated the young lady at the next table and ate her meal slowly and deliberately.
That's how it looked, a little bit funny.
Mahiro picked up the silver wine cup and took a sip, which suppressed his smile.
Seeing that the girl had almost finished eating, he finally asked:
"Mine, let me ask you a question. Where are we in the Empire right now?"
Upon hearing the question, Mine immediately stopped eating, and before she could even wipe her mouth, she hurriedly answered:
“Master, I’m not very clear about the specifics… but I do know that the town we’re in is on the western border of the empire, bordering the territories of the western tribes.”
This is why Main, being of mixed ethnicity, faces discrimination from others.
"I see. So this is the border. It seems we're quite far from the capital."
Mahiro nodded as if he understood, then looked at the girl with a hint of a smile, "But next time, remember to wipe your mouth clean before you speak, okay?"
As he spoke, he picked up a napkin and gently wiped the sauce off the corner of Mine's mouth.
Feeling embarrassed, Mine blushed instantly and replied in a soft, sweet voice:
"I...I understand, Master."
Seeing the maid already blushing, Mahiro didn't continue lecturing her, but picked up his wine glass and sipped his drink gently.
The taste is quite good, very mellow and fragrant, and it's definitely aged enough.
This can be considered one of the positive aspects of this other world.
However, getting to the capital city will be a little troublesome for them...
But that's just right, his little maid also needs some training. At the very least, during this time, she needs to learn to cook and have the ability to protect herself.
Chapter 115 Gozchi? Who's that? I don't know him! (5K)
Silent all night.
The two of them squeezed together on one bed for one night.
The next morning, after getting up, Mahiro began to teach Mine her daily washing routine.
Afterwards, Mine smelled the faint fragrance emanating from her own breath and suddenly fell in love with the "aristocratic" act of brushing her teeth with toothpaste.
After the morning instruction ended, they left the inn and took Mine away from the border town.
Their journey through the forest to the capital began.
By unfolding the hastily drawn map made of animal hide, Makoto gained a general understanding of the empire's territory and structure.
The west, south, and north are each threatened by different foreign tribes, while the east faces the sea and is therefore free from such threats.
The capital city is located right in the center of the map.
To be honest, looking at the composition of the various factions on the map, Shinji's feelings were a little complicated...
"Master... It's more than 2,000 kilometers from here to the capital. Why don't we take a carriage?" Mine, carrying her luggage, couldn't help but ask curiously.
After spending a day and a night together, Mayne has gradually become more confident and cheerful, no longer as timid as before.
However, in terms of personality, he is still a little soft and needs to be polished.
"Of course, it's for training you, little Mine."
Mahiro reached out and pinched the girl's soft, tender cheeks.
Mmm, it feels great.
"I plan to train you into a perfect hexagonal maid before we arrive in the capital. You are capable of all kinds of housework, can handle both social and battlefield duties, and can also warm the bed."
"Eh...?"
Mine didn't quite understand what Mahiro meant, but if it was for training, there was no need to walk all the way to the capital, right?
And the most important thing is——
"Master, it's very dangerous on the road if we don't stay with the caravan, especially in the forest. They say those man-eating monsters that even a dozen people can't handle often roam there..."
"That's our goal for this trip."
Shinji interrupted Mine with a smile, then gave her an even more shocking answer.
“Huh?!!!!”
Mine's pretty face turned deathly pale with fright.
Targeting dangerous species? Has the master gone mad?!
That's a super monster that can't be dealt with by human power alone!
Soon, she realized that she was completely wrong.
Swah——
With a faint whooshing sound, a level-one dangerous earth dragon fell to the ground.
Mine's pale pink eyes widened in disbelief; she was completely dumbfounded.
Those dangerous creatures that the townspeople usually feared couldn't even withstand a single blow from their master.
And this is already the eighth one!
The weapon used by the master was merely a small, black knife.
"Wow...that's amazing! No wonder Master dared to venture into the treacherous forest!"
"Alright, stop standing there, now it's your turn to work."
Mahiro gently patted her shoulder, then took a small knife from the backpack behind her, gave it a simple enchantment, and handed it to her.
"Master, what do you want me to do?"
Holding the knife in both hands, Mine asked, puzzled.
"Use the short sword to cut off the edible parts of the dangerous creature's body as our rations for today's journey," Mahiro instructed.
"what....."
Upon hearing this, Mine turned pale and her hands, holding the dagger, trembled uncontrollably!
"What, are you scared? If you don't dare to make a move, then you'll be going hungry today."
Zhen Xun changed his usual approach and showed no mercy.
Mine understood that her master was saying this on purpose for her own good.
But....
Looking at the mountain of dangerous creature corpses, she swallowed hard. As her eyes hardened, she finally overcame her fear and, with her eyes closed, forcefully plunged the dagger into the creature's body!
"Hey!"
puff!
Hiss!
The blade pierced the corpse of the dangerous species with ease, as if it were stabbing into tofu. Accompanied by the sound of flesh being churned, the spurting blood splattered all over her face.
The girl immediately cried out and took a few steps back.
After wiping the blood from her cheeks, she calmed herself down and slowly used a short knife to peel off the skin of the dangerous creature, carefully cutting out what she thought was a large piece of meat that was edible!
Looking at the fruits of her labor, she happily brought the meat to Makoto, ignoring her dirty face.
To be fair, Mine does have a talent for this.
Although the cut meat wasn't very smooth, looking like it had been gnawed by a dog, at least the idea and placement were correct.
"Well done."
When Makoto praised her, Mine smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits.
I was very happy to be praised by my owner.
If the girl had a tail, it would probably be turning into a propeller by now.
"So next, we'll go to the stream over there to wash it clean, and then come back and we'll make roast meat and jerky."
"Ok!"
After taking the first step, everything seemed to become simpler.
After washing the ingredients and cleaning the blood off her body, Mine wrapped the meat in leaves and brought it to Mahiro.
When he returned, Mahiro had already lit a fire and begun his journey of teaching Mine how to cook!
Around the fire were various exquisite bottles and jars, which were obviously very valuable.
But where did these things come from when the owner wasn't carrying any personal belongings?
Mine was a little curious.
She even got distracted and accidentally burned the meat, turning it into a black, burnt mess.
"Master, what... what should we do?"
Mine was heartbroken to see such a large piece of meat ruined by her own cooking.
Looking at the golden-brown, sizzling oil on Mahiro's side, and the aroma from the seasonings, she couldn't help but look at Mahiro with a pitiful expression.
But Zhenxun shrugged, unable to help:
"Of course, you'll have to eat it yourself, little Mine."
After saying that, he picked up his roasted meat, smelled it, said it smelled good, and then took a big bite in front of Mine.
Hmm, it's very chewy and tastes great, a bit like beef.
As for Mine...
Looking at the burnt pieces of meat he had roasted, he finally had no choice but to take a bite.
Click!
Click, click!
It actually made a crisp sound. Mine frowned as she gnawed on the charred and bitter piece of meat, her small mouth turning black as a result.
It definitely tastes bad.
Even so, she continued to eat heartily.
When I was a beggar wandering in a small town, what didn't I eat? This level of experience is nothing.
But at the same time, I secretly vowed that I would definitely make delicious food in the future, and I must never make the same mistake again!
