Isekai de Kojiin wo Hiraitakedo, Nazeka Darehitori Sudatou to Shinai Ken (WN)

“Is this okay, Naomi-sama? The Calamity Dragon that was defeated by Naomi-sama will not be disclosed but rather what will be disclosed is that the guild’s elite defeated it.”

After several days of defeating the Calamity Dragon we returned to the orphanage and we were relaxing around the table.

Right now I was giving directions to Silvy for future policy.

The contents of the direction were that I wasn’t the one who defeated the Calamity Dragon but somebody from the adventurer guild’s elite.

“I find fame to be vexing. I’ll give it to somebody else.”

I said that from my heart.

But…

“That’ll be hard to do. The Calamity Dragon subjugation quest that Naomi-sama accepted had a legendary anecdote that only SSS-rank could do it and there aren’t many adventurer’s that do not know you. It will be hard to shut the mouths of those who saw a genuine hero.”

She said that shook her head dejectedly.

“Truly troubling… I have no interest in fame. I just want to live quietly.”

“Fame, honour and hope are not things you obtain. Because it’s Naomi-sama that these things naturally materialize for you. As long as Naomi-sama is Naomi-sama, then you cannot escape from these things.”

Silvy clearly asserted that to me.

“Haaa…”

I gallingly sighed.

I just want to peacefully manage the orphanage.

But, I cannot help but acknowledge Silvy’s words.

If I am the genuine hero then the common people won’t leave me alone.

For me saving the world is trifling but for the common people it would be the great exploits of a God.

I can understand their feeling of wanting to make a fuss.

The bad thing is that I cannot conceal my hero’s aura, so I cannot help but gather attention due to it.

They’re not in the wrong.

“No matter how much Master tries to hide his power, but in the end it will leak out…”

“No, it’s not just the strength. Masatsugu-sama’s nobility and sublimity, I think people are also attracted to these qualities as well.”

“It’s is irrational to be human now~. How about giving up and become a God~?”

I heard such things come from the girls.

Sigh, I am just doing whatever I can do.

Besides, I haven’t felt as if I saved the world.

I want to simply protect the orphanage.

Protecting the smiles of the girls.

Nothing more is needed to be thought.

But, somehow in the meantime I’ve become a hero.

Damn it, what do I need to do so that I won’t be conspicuous.

I was agonizing over my talent oozing out.

As I thought every day being tranquil is necessary.

So I decided to cut this card.

“But, Silvy you can manipulate the information well, can’t you?”

I abruptly said that.

Lucia, Elin and Shii, couldn’t caught up to the meaning of my words and were dumbfounded by them.

But only Silvy was looking at me with a surprised face

“How were you able to?”

She asked me with a trembling voice.

Sigh, did you think that I wouldn’t be able to find out?

“If you think about it you were a guild’s receptionist then you followed us as a coachman, at times an A-class assassin and furthermore also the Guild master’s daughter. There’s also the thing about leaving records about me. The things you can do are a bit too much. Almost as if you were prepared for the constant change of the roles. There’s only one person who does all of that. A spy.”

On my identification instantly she understood that it was impossible to falsify.

“I’m amazed at your keen insight. I will confess everything. Naturally, I have no reason to deceive the Saviour-sama, my role is the leader of the spy unit of the guild. We use any kind of face and position to go in and out of places.”

After saying everything, she bowed her head down.

Fumu, it was as I thought it.

“But, to be able to see through my disguise it’s amazing. Even those who are S-rank in the Kingdom weren’t able to discern the bottom of my face. How were you able to do it though?”

Fuumu, what should I say.

“Rather, your concealment was too perfect. I guessed simply because of that, so you shouldn’t worry much about it?”

I answered her honestly.

I could sense glimmer of respect in her pupils.

“As I thought the Saviour-sama is too out of norm… But, on the contrary I had confidence that Saviour-sama would say that my concealment was perfect.”

She said that and smiled.

Sigh, time to time this sense is too good, only I noticed it.

It is true my senses and flairs far excel those of ordinary people, but I think it is trivial.

“I’m not that big of an person.”

Silvy’s eyes glimmered even more with respect and praised me.

“The talent is amazing but to even have such humility is even more so.”

Sigh, I wasn’t being modest, that was nothing to the extent of such praise.

“Not really, if we were together for a while, no matter what kind of child the girl is I would be able to understand her.”

I lightly said so.

But for some reason she was blushing.

“Is that so… Naomi-sama takes the me only as nothing but a girl? This me who has a face like this at the bottom as nothing more than just a girl?”

She said that for some reason she broke off her cool attitude, I could hear a quiet desperate yearning in her question.

Uum, what does she mean?

“Weeell, Silvy by default is a cute girl?”

Her cheeks get red when I said that.

“O. I thought I decided to never feel happy again as a girl. There is no mistake in that this could be fate.”

As if she was confirming something inside of her by saying “yes, yes” to herself.

Uuuun, what kind of meaning is there?

I tilted my head and asked the rest of the girls.

“It’s a secret!”

“I cannot have more rivals than this!”

“I will not fork over the position of the 3rd wife~!”

Still, that doesn’t answer me anything.

Uum, usually you would talk about anything.

At any rate, I asked Silvy to manipulate the information.

Fundamentally, somehow the information became Guild’s elite adventurers defeated the Dragon.

The part about me participating doesn’t change, but that together with the large number of adventurers we all managed to defeat the Dragon.

In other words the part about me being a Hero disappears and the only the achievements of everyone else remains.

The truth doesn’t change but the quality of it will be skillfully changed.

Now with that exchange being finished I stood up from the chair and started heading to the kitchen.

Of course, I am preparing a steak made out of the Calamity’s Dragon meat.

From the item box I took out 4 round slices that I had taken from Dragon’s tail.

It wasn’t spoiled since it was being preserved in it.

There was still some blood in it.

I started the iron plate on fire and confirming it was hot, I took out the lumps of meat and put it on the pan.

I sprinkled pepper and salt, and sizzling sounds were heard from the meat juices, the aromatic smell from it was spreading from the kitchen to the living room. f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m

It tickled my smell sense and before I knew it I was drooling.

Uun, it’s really good.

A bit later the smell attracted the girls towards the kitchen and they came walking unsteadily.

“The premium Dragon Steak that Master is making… uuu! I’m looking forward to it!”

“The things Masatsugu-san makes are more delicious than what the imperial chefs make. I’m happy that I am alive.”

“It’s a really good smell~ For some reason I am getting this fluffy happy feeling~ After this I want to live for another 100k years.”

“To the food that I eat from Naomi-sama, the food I normally eat seems really bland. I think that after eating Naomi-sama’s Premium Dragon Steak surely I will become unable to eat other things.”

They were saying that one after another.

Sigh, you are all exaggerating.

If you cook on a routine basis obviously you’ll master it, so there isn’t anything to praise.

I’m just a bit skillful so it’s really not a big deal as you girls are making it.

“I think that Master should try to understand himself more.”

“Even in the Royal Place you won’t be able to find someone like Masatsugu-sama?

“I’ve lived for several tens of thousands of years, but this is the first time I have seen somebody with cooking talent like Masatsugu-san.”

“I think Naomi-sama can open a restaurant. Though, the line would be very big every day.”

Sigh, though it’s no different than flattery I’m still happy for the praise.

While we were talking the meat became a good burnt colour.

Soon will be done.

“Master is it done!?”

Lucia was reaching her limit of holding it and began leaning forward and was asking me while drooling.

“Oioi, I understand the feeling but wait a bit more.”

I stopped her.

“Uuuu.”

With tears in her pupils she looked at me with a very despairing look.

She listened to me so she won’t be able to reach for the meat.

A nice kid.

“I am not being mean. I am finishing the final part. Here”

As I was saying that I poured down my home made Garlic sauce on the sizzling meat.

With a juwaa sound the aromatic smell spread even further and more densely.

It wasn’t just Lucia and Elin but the cool Shii had eyes that looked like they were captivated by it.

Sigh, I’m happy that you are looking towards it but I think it’s a bit too much.

All right, it’s complete!

“I’ll put it in everyone’s plate. Time to eat.”

On my words all of the girls immediately started eating.

Yeah, having an appetite for food is excellent.

You girls are a bit too eager for it, it looks like you were starving wolves.

Well, they did look forward to my cooking.

“Fuaaa!? It’s wonderful, Master! The meat juices are coming out.”

“The tempering is also really excellent! When I put the meat on the top of my tongue it begins to melt!”

“This sauce is yummy~ The feeling of the garlic’s aroma entangling with the sweetness of the meat is exquisite. It’s on the level of beauty.”

“Please, please teach me the sauce’s recipe later!”

They were saying nothing but praise as they were stuffing their mouth.

Sigh, usually all of you have the manners of little girls.

It seems I overdid it with cooking.

My delicious cooking apparently it seems to have taken away the reasoning of the girls.

Let’s see, I also eat a mouthful.

Ooooo, this is really delicious!?

I knew it was dragon steak and hoped it would be as it sounded, but this is really good.

Even though it should be thick meat but when you bite it and chew it it’s juices overflow from it.

I just noticed but after it has melted the fragrant aroma is leaving the taste of the meat behind.

This is dangerous, it makes me want to eat as much as I can.

This matches well with my sauce because it brought out the best of both.

The unpleasantness of the meat is no longer there.

While I was thinking along those lines, the girls gulped their food fast and now they were looking at the empty plates with dejected expressions.

Sigh, there’s no helping again.

“Wait a bit. There’s still left-over of the dragon meat. After I finish eating this, I’ll cook the left-over.”

After I said that the girls from their earlier expression was a complete change and were completely joyous.

“Banzai, Banzai!”

I feel the atmosphere is a bit too weird.

Well, I would like their stomachs to always be full.

It would be nice if you all grow up fast.

If I make this kind of cooking always from now then I’ll have to start teaching them manners.

Sigh, there are a lot of things they have to learn as they grow.

As I was thinking that I started to prepare the left-over meat so that I can cook it.
