Akuyaku Reijou ni Nanka Narimasen - Chapter 448 (Patreon)

Dungeon capture, why was the Hero hung?
Rinka’s Point of View
"Rosarin!? Geraldin-san... I understand you don't mean any harm, but talking about eating things that make someone feel sick is cruel! Rosarin, let's go!"

Dirk-san, seemingly sensing Rosarin-chan's discomfort, swept her away in a gallant princess carry. Cool!! Oh, so dreamy!

"Ojisan, you are the worst~”

"Nuh?"

"Oneechan is bad with cockroaches. Yet you talk about eating them and made her feel gross. Ojisan, you are the worst~ I don’t like you anymore."

Bam, bam. Mary-chan's tail swayed discontentedly.

"Father... I misjudged you! How despicable!"

Jash-san is... his eyes were super angry! Scary!

"Otousan, you're the worst!"

Jend-kun and Jash-san angrily left their seats. However, they properly secured the food for themselves. As expected.

"Mary is going too!"

Mary-chan also took her plate and went to her room.

"............"

Ah, I missed the escape.

Geraldin-san and I were alone. It was awkward.

"... Rinka-dono, aren't you going?"

"Huh? Oh~ yes."

Even if it's (self-inflicted) a bit sad to leave someone feeling down alone...

Rosarin-chan will be definitely fine with Dirk-san handling it somehow...

"I see. That's just the way I am. I always end up making others angry."

He seems quite down. Both his ears and tail were drooping.

"... It’s my first time."

"What is?"

"Venturing with an equal or superior partner overnight. And adventuring with my sons."

Geraldin-san talked about how this time was enjoyable because the usual partners were inferior. However, constantly angering his sons made him feel disheartened.

"But, what was wrong with My Lord? Is it not a waste disliking certain foods... "

In Wolfanea, it's a normal high-quality ingredient, praised, and apparently very delicious. It's a cultural difference. Geraldin-san really didn't mean any harm.

"That's a no-go. It's on the level where she doesn’t want to hear or see it. It's impossible for her to eat it."

"Is that so?"

He doesn't seem to fully understand. Hmm...

"Tsu-san, can't you come up with a good analogy? Are there any insect-type monsters in Wolfanea that, no matter how delicious, would be repulsive? Huh? Pseudocoleoptera?"

".........!!?"

Geraldin-san's tail... no, his whole body's hair stood on end.

"W-What did you say just now?"

"Pseudocoleop—"No, don't say it!!"

Oh, look closely; he's got goosebumps.

"Like telling Rosarin-chan to eat that Pseudocoleo-whatever. Geraldin-san, you wouldn't want to eat it, right?"

Geraldin-san nodded multiple times. But what kind of monster makes him react like this?

No, I feel like I'm better off not knowing.

"There's no way you can eat something you find unpleasant, even if it's good, right?"

"I... I did such terrible things to the Lord...!"

Geraldin-san cried. Seriously cried. What should I do? I made a middle-aged man cry.

"Uguu, fuguuu......"

He won't stop crying.

"Rosarin-chan is not angry."

"No, I can't forgive myself...!"

What should I do about this...? As I was troubled, a pigeon mask with white tight clothing all over his body arrived.

Huh? Oh, Poppo-chan...? What's with that rope??

"I've heard the story. Let me give you punishment suitable for the thoughtless remarks to our master, Rosarin-sama."

"Yeah, please."

Thus, Geraldin-san was hung. No, why! Poppo-chan disappeared after Geraldin-san got hung.

Come back, Poppo-chan!

"That’s enough! Sleeping while hanging upside down is bad for your body."

"No, it's fine."

"There's a problem! We're going dungeon exploring again starting tomorrow, right!?"

The repentant old man was refusing to listen to me, saying that he was going to sleep while hanging, so I had to call Jash-san over for help.

"Father... it's good that you're reflecting, but what about causing trouble for Rinka-san this time?"

However, the repentant man didn't listen to everyone's persuasion. Jash-san couldn't convince him, and even after trying with Jend-kun and Mary-chan, it was still futile.

In the end, they gave in.

And the morning came.

"Geraldin-saaan!?"

Rosarin-chan was shocked to see Geraldin-san hanging.

"My Lord... I apologize for yesterday."

"I don't care anymore! Why is this happening!?"

Rosarin-chan wasn't angry after all.

"Well, everyone was angry at me."

Wait, why does that sound like we hanged you ourselves? The one who carried out the sentence was Poppo-chan, and Geraldin-san wished to be hanged!

"What a simple reason!"

Rosarin-chan believed it too.

And breakfast.

Because excluding Dirk-san, everyone thought that Rosarin-chan was still angry, she desperately assured us that everything was okay.

Since denying it was too troublesome, and everyone was mentally exhausted, we decided to forgive him.

Postscript: Geraldin-san, who sincerely reflected, never brought up cockroaches again and quickly defeated similar monsters so that Rosarin-chan wouldn't see them.

… Happy ending?
