Status Meister

Meer and Miriam seem to be parents and children. You don't look alike at all!

Shit, I said take my daughter home in front of her mother or something.

"Miriam, this man. He said he was cute enough to bring you home."

Yeah yeah!? Is that where I'm going to say it!?

"Ha... that's good..."

Yeah yeah!? Do you hate me?

"Well, that's good. You're a woman, too, and you don't feel bad about being told you're cute, do you?

"That's true, though. But he seems to be the one who wants to buy slaves and satisfy his desires."

I'm coming at you with a contemptuous gaze. Stop looking at me like that! You're gonna get excited!

"Oh, really? He didn't look like that."

"Oh, yeah, you are! I just wish I could have a happy afterlife with a slave as my wife!

Miriam looks at me in a sigh and talks to Meer.

"I don't think a slave would end up with that much greed."

"Oh. So you're telling me that's what Atashi does too?

"Already... because that's how your mother always makes me look like an idiot!

While listening to such parent-child conversations, I saw Miriam in tears and wondered.

"Uh, we both have different surnames, don't we? And the race doesn't seem the same."

They both look terribly surprised. Did I say something wrong again?

"" How do you know your last name?

"Ha!? No, I heard that! In the city!"

Meer's gone! He looks like that. Miriam looks like... again.

"I'm making you say mother, but Miriam is a slave to Atashi. By the way, what's your name?

"It's Takashi. Takashi Watanabe. It's a long way from here, from a country called Tokyo."

Hmm, and I'm thinking something with my hand on my jaw, Meer.

"I know a lot of countries, but you've never heard of them. But I've come that far to this city. I guess that's all there is to it, huh?

"No, I just came by chance, I was just lucky!

Dangerous. I can't say that distance doesn't matter because I'm from another world.

"You don't have to be so modest. Miriam, how's this guy doing?

"Ha, I don't know very well because it's only my first day, but I don't think I'm very new. We've collected more herbs than veterans."

Seriously? Was that too much? I guess I should have added or subtracted some more......

"Is that why you introduced us? You can't put it in the corner, either."

"Become!? Chi, no! Don't be like that. Shh!

You care about me! It was worth the effort! Yeah, yeah, fine! She's turning red. Miriam's cute, too!

"Miriam seems to care about you, too, Takashi. Put Miriam in your party." Make sure!

"Whoa! What are you up to! And why the instant answer!

Milia protesting is ignored. It's a favor from my mother. You can't just not listen to me.

Besides, I'm not dead enough to leave a girl alone who seems to care about me.

"Hahaha, an instant answer is! I liked you!

"I don't like it! I don't like being with people full of desire!

I knew you were looking at me that way. And have you changed your personality since you were in the guild? Is this vegan?

"That's good. You haven't done anything that won't cost you money to help the Alliance at all, either, you can live with it if you want."

"But... then the guild is better... the promise to your father..."

Something's creeping me out. Maybe we should show Han here.

"I'll make you happy"

"Huh!?

Did I make a mistake? Miriam opens her eyes wide, holding her hand and pulling.

Look at that. Meer is grinning with her belly.

"Hahaha, we're not getting married, so greetings would be different! Haha, but..."

The atmosphere of Meer changes in an instant. Shit. Intimidation alone is going to kill me.

"Until I give you permission, if you give Miriam your hand, you won't just do it, will you?

"Why, I will do good..."

That's how Miriam was supposed to join the party.

Miriam at the time didn't seem convinced at all, but Mia was persuading me.

"You're a good old man, too. I'll tell the guild from Atashi, so live as you please. You wanted to be an adventurer, didn't you?

"That's true, but I made a promise to your father..."

"He's not here anymore. That promise is no longer valid. You don't have to be tied to that forever."

"But..."

I guess that guy means Mia's husband. Is it true that he is not here?

"Ah! Already! If it still sounds like Udauda says, I'll transfer ownership of the slaves to Takashi!?

"Yeah!? No! Quit that!

What, that. Why do you hate me so much? Did I do something?

"Then try being an adventurer. So think about it again."

"Ok......"

Oh? Sounds like you got the whole story together.

"So, Takashi, I'll tell you about this girl tomorrow."

"Yes! I'll take care of it. Mother-in-law!

"Ha... no more"

That's how Miriam was going to be joining the party, and I decided to go back to my room today because it meant it was already open and sleep in prayer that today's event was not a dream.
