Chereads / A Reincarnated Tale of Raka / Chapter 5 - Black Bear Bar and Lunch Box

Chapter 5 - Black Bear Bar and Lunch Box

I woke up in the morning. I thought my body would feel a little sore after fighting so many monsters and, of course, exploring the dungeon too. It was such a heavy activity for me. I haven't been doing an activity like that for a long time on the earth.

Maybe, because this body got used to this kind of activity or because the skill came from my soul?

I didn't know, but at least this was convenient for me. I didn't need to rest that much, and I could get to exploring the dungeon more.

The first time I did it in the early morning was the same as the previous 'Raka'. It was cleaning the equipment and doing a little bit of maintenance. I never did those things, but this body was quite familiar, and I got some memories of previous Raka, so I could do it.

I was doing this in the morning since I would be tired after doing adventurer. And I would be check if there something wrong with my equipment

After doing so, I took my time to wash my body. Most of the cleaning products in this world were kinda awful compared to the earth. But, what do you expect from a fantasy world if you looked around a kind of middle age era?

I cleaned myself in the closest well as most ordinary people did.

After I was done with everything, I prepared myself for exploring the dungeon. But, before I went to the dungeon. I feel like eating another delicious food. So I went to Black Bear Bar to eat some breakfast.

In front of the bar, a young girl looked like she was trying to open the store. She brings out the board as she tries her best. Her medium-length blonde hair looked as soft as cotton, and her sapphire-blue eyes left a strong impression on me. Especially she wore that similar maid-attire that the bar used as their uniform.

"Do you need some help?" I asked her.

"Eh… Ah, you don't need to. Since I will finish soon." She answered as she turned her face to me.

"Hm… Aren't you that brave boy?" She immediately realized who I was as she looked at my face.

"Brave boy?" I didn't quite understand what she was saying. Who the hell, brave boy anyway.

"Ah, you're quite famous in this bar after last night." She said it in a teasing voice as if she wanted to see my reaction.

"How can that be? I don't particularly do anything other than eating pasta." Confused, I shake my head in response to this girl.

"Well, the master is quite happy since it had been a long time for someone who wasn't scared of him." The human girl answered while smiling at my answer.

"Ah, that's. His face is actually quite scary, but I don't think enough to scare me." I said as if it was an obvious answer.

"The master would be happy to hear that. He is quite soft after all." She said while finishing her job.

"Lala, why do you take a long time-nyaa?"

I heard a familiar cat-girl that took my order. She came out to call Lala, the girl that I had been talking to.

"Hm, Isn't this brave boy-nyaa?" The young girl with animal ears tilted her head a little as she was aware of my presence. She was an adorable girl with cute little round eyes. She looked at me with a face that found something interesting. That fluffy brown tail that stuck out from her uniform was swaying left and right.

"Ah, hello. But, please can't you people don't call me like that." I said it. Since that nickname was not only embarrassing, it could make other people misunderstand.

"Is that so? That's too bad, it's quite a funny nickname." The human girl that called Lala once again talked as she tried to tease me.

"Well, it's kinda embarrassing." I told them the truth.

"Well, that's true-nyaa."

"Fufufu, if you think about it."

The two girls looked at me as they were laughing a bit.

"So do you come here to get some food?" Lala asked me.

"Ah, yes. I want to get some breakfast." I answered her question.

"If that's the case. You can follow me." After she knew that I was a customer, she took me inside the bar.

I followed her as the bar was empty since they had just opened.

"Why did the two of you take time? Hmm… Isn't that a brave boy?"

I heard a loud voice as I saw a kinda big woman. Her height was the same as my height, and she was kinda chubby too.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Mama. We talked a bit with him." Lala told her.

"Nyaa, we bought a customer-nyaa." The Cat-Girl said as she followed me in the behind.

"Oh, do you want to eat breakfast? We had a breakfast menu, is that alright? Brave boy." She offered me a menu. I didn't really know what the breakfast menu was, but I was kinda intrigued.

"Yeah, please do that. Also, can't all of you don't call me that nickname? It feels embarrassing. Just call me, Raka." I said with a tint of shame.

"Okay, I will prepare it for you. My name is Dahlia, but in this bar people usually call me Mama. As for those two beside you."

"My name is Lala, nice to meet you." Lala, the human girl, introduced herself.

"I am Mia. Nice to meet you-nyaa." The cat-girl introduced herself with a more energetic tone. Since the cat-girl was famous on earth, I couldn't help enjoying seeing how her tail and ear moved energetically.

After that introduction, I sat on the seat last night. I didn't know why they did this to me. Even though there was a more spacious seat other than this seat, were they trying to make this seat exclusive to me?

But, it was not a long time for Mama to bring out the food. The food was a sausage, fried egg, and some fresh vegetables like tomatoes and lettuce. There was bread and some soup. I couldn't help that this was too much. I wonder how the price was.

"Isn't this too much?" I asked Mama who just delivered the food.

"Ah, there is a little service for me. Since last night, my husband has been in a good mood. So I had a wonderful night yesterday." Mama explained with a cheerful voice as she smiled brightly.

"Hahaha, I'm happy to hear that." I didn't know how to respond, but I was a person who never refused any food offered by other people.

Oh, well. Just like yesterday, the food in this bar was delicious. The sausage was the most delicious of all, but the bread was different from the previous 'Raka' usually eaten. But, It was nearly the same as the bread I ate on the earth.

"Ah… I hope I can eat this food for lunch." I sighed while mumbling after eating some good bread. I didn't want to eat a reduced level of food. Since there was nothing fun for me other than eating food.

"Nyaa? Do you want something like a lunch box-nyaa?" I could hear Mia asking me. It was like she heard my muttering.

"Eh, can I get a lunch box?" I asked Mia with high expectations.

But Mia shook her head as she responded to my question.

"To bad-nyaa. Mama didn't really prepare a lunch box-nyaa. But… I can make you-nyaa."

When I heard Mia's words, I was kinda happy.

"Really! Can you make me one?" I replied with a cheerful voice.

"I think I can-nyaa. Of course, my food is not as good as Mama-nyaa. But it will be good practice for me as well-nyaa." Mia told her reason aloud. But, I didn't particularly care as she looked confident enough.

"If that's the case, I want a lunch box. Thank you, Mia." I gave her my thanks, but she just laughed.

"Oh, you don't have to thank me-nyaa. Since you need to pay for the food-nyaa." Mia told me that I needed to pay. Since she was afraid, I assumed that I didn't have to pay.

"Of course, I pay for the food."

"Hum… wait for a bit-nyaa."

Mia left me and went to the kitchen. I was waiting in my seat and saw the bar was a bit busy with a customer.

I waited for a bit longer as Mia gave me the lunch box. She told me to be careful when Adventuring and gave me some encouragement.

"Please be careful-nyaa. Since you don't know what happened in the dungeon-nyaa. Also, please, do your best-nyaa."

"Yes, of course. I will do my best." I told her that I was doing my best. It was a nice feeling to hear some encouragement before working. Since I didn't have a girlfriend or wife who did that to me.

So I paid 4 Bronze and 5 Iron this time, around $ 4.5. Also, with this, I have spent more than 1 Silver to eat. It made me wonder how much I needed to spend to upgrade my equipment.

So I took a peek at the weapon shop nearby. The weapon shop was kinda big, and the front of the shop was quite elegant. And I found out the price of several daggers and swords.

Small Dagger : Str + 1 1 Silver 5 Bronze

Dagger : Str + 2 4 Silver

Serpent Tail Dagger : Str + 3 8 Silver

Wolf Teeth Dagger : Str + 4 1 Gold 6 Silver

Dragon Teeth Dagger : Str + 5 3 Gold 2 Silver

The sword and any other weapon were like this.

Bow : Str + 1 3 Silver

Sword : Str + 4 1 Gold 6

Scimitar : Str + 5 3 Gold 8 Silver

Saber : Str + 5 3 Gold 8 Silver

Rapier : Str + 6 5 Gold

Katana : Str + 7 8 Gold

Hm… I didn't think those weapons were expensive. Since if I worked like yesterday minus my expenditure. I might have 5 silver per day. Which meant I needed to work sixteen days to get that Katana. And it looked like there were more weapons in the back. But I didn't think those people would get me in. Since they had a guard.

At least, I could get a good weapon faster than I thought before.

Hm… After seeing the price of the weapon, I also have a lunch box for Mia. I feel I could do better today.

"I will do my best." I spoke to myself before going to Adventure Buildings.
