Infinite number of meat.
If you tapped her on the shoulder, you got a piece of meat.
The hornets swore fealty to their pack leader. (They didn't.)
Now all the wolves in the pack were having fun.
All the wolves that had been keeping watch outside the cave returned, and a big party was held.
...Wolves didn't drink alcohol, and they didn't preach when drunk, so all of their actions were solely focused on "eating".
As a result, even Mile, as expected, had not prepared a huge amount of blue rare ogre meat, so it was sold out.
Once they left the cave, Reina used fire magic to lightly roast the outsides of the raw ogres and orcs they had taken out of their item boxes, and they quickly began to produce more.
…The reason we left the cave was because if we used fire magic in a place like that, we would die from lack of oxygen.
Reina and Pauline already knew that without Mile having to say it. It was common knowledge for magicians who could use fire magic.
It seemed Mavis also knew about it from her study of "Magical Tactics".
There's plenty of monster meat to sell.
After the Absolute Defense of the Albarn Empire ended, Mile saw the massive amount of monster corpses, most of which would rot without being able to use their flesh or materials, and feared that the wasteland would become a breeding ground for disease-causing bacteria and parasites. So she stored a considerable amount of them in her item box.
...Mainly focusing on delicious things and things that were likely to sell for a high price...
So, Mile's item box contained a huge number of monsters of various kinds, including not only orcs and ogres, which could certainly be sold anywhere as meat, but also hippogriffs, manticores, earth dragons, wyverns, and so on.
Although she didn't hunt the new species of horned rabbits during the battle, they had since hunted a considerable number of them in her free time.
Mile thought that the meat of the new species might be chewier and more flavorful, and wanted a large amount for her research and cooking experiments. "Monster cuisine begins with the horn rabbit and ends with the horn rabbit," she said...
Therefore, although they had a sufficient stock of monsters, Mile and her group did not sell them to the Hunter Guild or the Merchant Guild.
If they were to sell such things, it would ruin the efforts of the experts and researchers who calculate and control the numbers of monsters to be culled.
…The first one they sold, not the one from another world, but one of the native species from the old continent, was an exception since it's for verification purposes.
Also, the Wonder Trio, per Mile's instructions at that time, also stored a large number of monsters in their item boxes.
If they sold them little by little, they would be able to live with a stable supply, but it was difficult to sell them without causing trouble to those who were working hard, and so now, like the Crimson Vow, they seemed to be taking up space in their item box.
Anyway, with an almost infinite amount of meat in the item box and Mile who could produce unlimited amounts of water with magic, the herd could grow as large as they wanted.
Perhaps satisfied with having eaten their fill of meat, the wolves returned to the cave, and the white wolf sat down in the same place as before.
...Apparently, that's their usual position.
And…….
Pong pong!
"……eh?"
Pong pong!
Looking at Mile, they tapped the ground next to him with their front paw.
"Are you telling me to sit here? Am I a mistress or a lover?
…No, I don’t dislike cute fluffy creatures, but I don’t want to marry someone for the sake of meat, so I won’t join the pack!!" (Mile)
As Mile yelled this, Reina said something.
"...Mile, this might be the only proposal you'll ever get in your life. Shouldn't you accept it?" (Reina)
"Gaaa~h!!" (Mile)
Mile barked.
"...Mile-chan seems like she could manage even in a pack of wolves." (Pauline)
"Yeah, I think so too..." (Mavis)
After being dealt the final blow by Pauline and Mavis, Mile dropped to the ground in despair and put her hands on the ground.
Seeing this, the wolves become even more excited, thinking that the cub had decided to join and move around on all fours.
…It was all a mess…
"...Anyway, if you can't communicate, nothing can be done!" (Reina)
"No, I knew that from the beginning!" (Mile)
"No, I think Mile-chan could communicate with wolves though..." (Pauline)
"Yeah, we're at the same level of thinking." (Mavis)
"You're too noisy!" (Mile)
Mile was furious after everyone said whatever they want to her.
"...So, what should I do..." (Mile)
Mile regained her composure and thought about it, but she couldn't think of a good solution.
"Why don't you ask someone... no, something... to translate?" (Pauline)
"Eh? ...Ah, I see!" (Mile)
Mile clapped her hands in agreement at Pauline's suggestion.
Pauline also knew about the mysterious creatures (Nanomachine) that came from God's kingdom, having heard about them from Mile. That's probably why she suggested that.
But…….
I don't like having Nano-chan translate for me, because it makes me feel like I'm losing...
...That's right, I can use translation magic! Instead of asking Nano-chan to translate every time, I can just understand what the wolves are saying... (Mile's mind)
...Impossible! It's impossible!We can act as an intermediary and interpret by analyzing brainwaves, but it's impossible to directly enable Mile to understand what the wolves are saying, unless we tamper with Mile's brain and implant a nanochip in it!!And unless we are Creator, we have no authority to mess with the brains of living things, and even if we did, we couldn't do it!You don't have to do that, we'll just translate for you!Ugh... I don't want that... (Mile)
She didn't like having nanomachines translate for her all the time, but she hate having her brain messed with and chips implanted in it even more.
And Mile went into deep thought again.
...That's right, I should call someone other than Nano-chan who could translate... (Mile)
Eh?"Let's call the ancient dragon and ask him to translate!" (Mile)
"Whaaat?!" (Other 3)
Reina and the rest exclaimed in surprise at Mile's proposal.
Eehhh!!And then, the nanomachines let out a cry of anguish that only Mile could hear.
"...You've done something outrageous like that again..."
"Can ancient dragons speak wolf language?"
"I just feel uneasy..."
The three of them looked worried, wondering if everything was okay.
"When talking with humans, ancient dragons properly use the human language, but when talking with other animals or monsters, they don't seem to use the language that the other creatures speak. Those are the other person's thought waves... they are using magic to directly read what the other person is thinking, or to send their own thoughts to them. Otherwise, it would be impossible to produce sounds that match the hearing of various organisms, even though the vocal cords have completely different structures. Even if we humans could understand the language of birds, we wouldn't be able to make those sounds, right? Besides, in the first place, there's no way that other animals or monsters could have a language complex enough to converse with us normally... The reason why ancient dragons can speak with humans is because they were created that way." (Mile)
"I see!" (Other 3)
Yes, when the ancient dragons were created, the structure of their vocal cords was adjusted so that they could speak human language, but they were not all-purpose beings capable of speaking with other living things.
Mile had heard about this from the nanomachines before.
And…….
Whaaaaaaat?!The nanomachines let out a distressed cry, as their precious opportunity to shine was about to be snatched away by the ancient dragon...
