Glutton Berserker ~The One That Exceeds The Concept Of Levels~

Chapter 228: The Elven City

Weekly chapters (2/2)

Sorry for the delay. Chapter 229 should be ready early on next month.

That said, I want to speed-up 7th loop Villainess while the anime is still on-going.

Enjoy~

It’s too hard to wake up. To think that the person I didn’t want to meet the most would appear at this timing…

It was probably trying to take advantage of my weakened state.

The sky I saw from the window was a cloudless blue sky, the exact opposite of my gloomy mood.

[Good morning, sleepyhead]

Cecilia’s smile was flawless. I was lured into it and it made me smile too.

Maybe it’s because the two of us talked about our lives yesterday. It felt like we were closer to each other than before.

[It’s nice weather today, so why don’t we go out somewhere? We can go anywhere Fate likes.]

[Good, then…]

While recovering from my sleepiness, I thought about the destination.

It’s nice weather. I concurred with what Cecilia said.

If you remain in a cloudy mood, you will be unsure of your future. Refreshments may be necessary from time to time.

When I told her where I wanted to go, Cecilia laughed at me.

[Even after everything, you still have the appetite.]

[That’s right. The bugs living in my stomach couldn’t wait anymore]

After changing my clothes, I pick up the scabbard containing the broken black sword.

I wanted to show Greed the elf city as well.

[I see that you’re ready.]

[Yeah, looking forward to our destination.]

[Sure, let’s go then!]

I wonder what Cecilia will feed me.

I followed her outside. The sweet scent of flowers wafted on the gentle breeze.

The only people we passed by on the street were, of course, elves. The beastman was nowhere to be seen.

The city was buzzing with activity as if yesterday had never happened.

The fresh fruits and vegetables lined up in the open were probably grown by beastmen.

None of the elves’ hands looked like they were working on a farm, and they were clean and without a single scratch. Perhaps because I was looking around, Cecilia called out to me.

[Even though the lives of elves are supported by beastmen.]

[Does Cecilia want to change that?]

[I think it would be better if we could understand each other better than we do now.]

[The way it looked yesterday, it’s a long way off.]

The elves, led by Georg, seemed to be enjoying the reincarnation ceremony.

For beastmen, it’s a terrifying ritual that forcefully turns them into monsters.

Their positions are too different.

It’s the same for us humans. It is difficult to let go of one’s inherent vested interests.

Depending on their skills, there are those who have it and those who don’t. Those who had money often came from good families and did not have to struggle to make a living. However, there were very few people who reached out to those who had nothing.

Roxy’s smiling face appeared in my mind. She extended her hand to me, a person who didn’t have anything.

I feel like Cecilia resembles Roxy in some way. Maybe that’s why I want to help her…

A way for elves and beastmen to join hands. As a newcomer, I still couldn’t imagine it.

[You look as if you’re troubled again. Thank you.]

[Huh?]

[Since it’s you Fate, you must be thinking about the relationship between elves and beastmen, right?]

She guessed correctly, so I nodded wordlessly.

Cecilia was in a good mood when she saw this. I wonder if it’s because I found friends with the same ideas…

She is an elf and involved. I’m a human and an outsider. Even though our views and positions are different, Cecilia is probably optimistic.

In that respect, she was similar to Roxy.

[Well, here we are.]

[This is…]

The appearance somehow reminded me of a bar I frequented in Seyfert, the royal capital.

I entered the bar with a mixture of nostalgia and loneliness.

The barkeeper was not a man, but a cheerful-looking woman. The interior was so glamorous and calm that it’s hard to believe it’s a bar, reflecting her personality. It seemed comfortable even after spending a long time there.

[How about some food while you enjoy some drinks?]

Cecilia asked me as she took her seat.

There’s no need to ask. I like the atmosphere of the bar. The aroma of the food wafting through the air seemed delicious, and I couldn’t wait to taste it.

[This is a good place]

[Ehehe, that’s right. It’s my favorite bar, so the food is delicious and the drinks are great.]

[Hoooo.]

[Looking at your sparkling eyes, I know it’s worth inviting you. Glad you’re feeling better.]

[I haven’t eaten anything yet.]

[You’re right.]

At Cecilia’s recommendation, I ordered a special salad and sautéed beef.

Then, I paired the dish with a glass of astringent red wine.

[I like soft red wine, but since it’s sautéed beef this time, a wine that won’t overpower it will be best.]

[You know a lot about wine.]

[Of course. I have a vineyard that I use for wine. I work there with the beastmen to make wine.]

[A vineyard…]

[Actually, the wine we sell to the bar here is made in my own vineyard.]

After saying that, Cecilia secretly told me.

I see, that’s why you showed me around this bar.

[If I have time, I can also show you around the vineyard.]

[Maybe help with the harvest?]

[That’s right. It will still take some time to harvest, so please wait until then.]

[I understand, milady.]

[What was that? You sounded like you are parroting a servant.]

Cecilia laughed at me. I’m just applying what I learned when I was still a servant at Roxy’s Hart family.

I was glad that I remembered to put it in even though I was busy fighting.

A friendly-looking barkeep approached and greeted us.

When he saw my short ears, he looked a little surprised. However, he soon smiled and took orders from Cecilia.

[Two of the usual ones.]

[Of course. ….it’s rare to see Cecilia-sama to be with someone here.]

[No need to stray on unnecessary topics.]

[Pardon me.]

When Cecilia looked angry, the master bowed deeply and left the place.

It didn’t seem like she was really angry. They are probably close enough to have such a conversation.

[Good grief, just because I always come here alone.]

[You seem happy about that.]

[Fate, don’t make fun of me as well.]

[Sorry, sorry. Does the barkeep also agree with Cecilia regarding the relationship between elves and beastmen?]

[I don’t know…maybe my position makes them say yes.]

Due to differences in status, it may not be possible to speak honestly. Cecilia said so.

At least to me, the barkeep was very friendly towards Cecilia.

The stewed beef dish on the table had a rich flavor and went well with the astringent red wine in my hand.

Each and every dish was made with care and heart.

[Now that our stomach is full, I guess Fate wants to know more about this world.]

[The sandy beach when I washed up in this world… it looked like a metal artifact under my feet.]

[Yes, it is…this island was created by God in ancient times.]

[God!?]

Hearing those words, I felt like the failure of a God within me…within my Gluttony skill was writhing.
