Chapter 17 – Healing Complete
The plan to heal the tired Camille-san went smoothly, and I treated her to a full program of entertainment, including a beauty treatment, shopping, a stylish meal, and an illuminating show. Even the serious Camille-san was smiling and seemed to be enjoying herself, even though she didn’t forget that she was there to inspect the Chris. I’m glad I planned this.
Camille’s point of view
“I’m thinking about dinner soon, but is that okay with you, Camille-san?”
After watching Saporabi-chan’s cute show, we decided to do some light exercise and played a round of mini golf.
It wasn’t really strenuous exercise, but after eating a light lunch, I was hungry enough.
“Yeah, I’m fine.”
I wonder what the meals are like on this ship. Even considering the light lunch, it can’t be bad, so I have high expectations.
Wataru-san and the others took me to a place where I recognized the characters.
I was a bit disappointed because I had high expectations. There’s also Japanese food on the Castle ship, and it’s delicious, but I prefer other dishes. I really like tempura, though…
Maybe I got a little carried away.
“…Wataru-san, why is the quality of the Japanese food so different, even though it’s the same food? No, it’s not that the Japanese food on the Castle is bad, but it almost feels like the cuisine of another country.”
The Japanese food at the Castle is more showy, but the taste is undoubtedly better here.
“Well, I think that’s probably because…”
I see. So, is this restaurant supervised by a top chef in the Japanese cuisine genre?
He explained that it was different from “fake Japanese food,” which I didn’t understand, but I understand that the quality of the chef is important.
I also understood that the goal was different. No, I understood the difference in the concept of the ship itself, but I was a little surprised that it would also affect the food.
It’s common for royalty and the wealthy to spend a lot of money on food for the show, but the emphasis is more on how many rare ingredients you can get your hands on than on the taste. Wataru-san’s ship is crazy.
Well, just remember that the Castle is a family-friendly ship that focuses on fun and ostentation, and this ship is for adults.
When you think about it, the Japanese food on the Castle is more in line with the atmosphere of that ship.
It’s a bit of a shame for me because the Japanese food here was more to my taste, but considering the size of the ship and the level of the facilities, the Castle is more profitable, so I can’t be picky.
…The dish called liver pate was really delicious. When I leave the ship, I’ll ask Wataru-san if I can take some home as a souvenir.
“Thank you for the delicious food. Wataru-san, it was really delicious.”
I even enjoyed the dessert. The chocolate soufflé cake was the best. I think I’ll take some home as well.
“I’m glad you enjoyed it.”
Wataru-san smiles, perhaps sensing my good mood. I think it’s great that he can share in other people’s happiness so easily.
In the business world, you have to be wary of people’s smiles, so someone like Wataru-san is very valuable.
Mauro-san and Donatella are also important colleagues, but they pursue their own interests, so I can’t let my guard down.
Bella-san and Flora are also surprisingly tough, and the main focus of the healing is Saporabi-chan and the children at the orphanage.
If I were working locally, I could complain to my friends, but it’s hard to go see them when I’m working on the Castle.
Well, it seems like Wataru-san is worried that I’m working too hard, so when I go back to Southern City, I’ll take some time off and go see my friends.
Since Wataru-san is asking the blacksmith which Gilmas introduced him to do some work, there should be enough time for that.
“What are you going to do now, Camille-san? You can rest in your room or have a drink at your leisure.”
“Well, I’m a little tired, so I think I’ll go back to my room for now. I’m also a little worried about getting drunk and not being able to check out the comfort of my room, so I’ll have a drink tomorrow, okay?”
“Okay then. Let’s call it a night.”
Even though I understand that Wataru-san isn’t that kind of person, I’m a little disappointed that it’s over so easily.
Even though he seems to care about the other person, it’s normal for business partners to have a long conversation from now on, so I almost start to doubt my own attractiveness.
I really dislike men who try to get me with all kinds of tricks, but this is a delicate situation.
I’m aware that Wataru-san has feelings for me, but… well, Wataru-san is surrounded by women, so there’s no need for me to be so eager.
But that doesn’t mean I can’t be satisfied, which is the complicated thing about a woman’s heart. He seems to arrange opportunities for me to drink, so maybe I can make him understand my appeal?
While I was thinking of something dangerous, I returned to the room escorted by Wataru-san and the others.
I sit down on the sofa and ask Saporabi-chan to make me some tea. The room is comfortable and has first-class furniture, although it seems a little too grand for me.
I’m definitely tired, but it would be a shame to fall asleep right away. I think I’ll take a shower and order some drinks from room service.
＊＊＊
It was really good.
When I invited Camille-san with the aim of healing her, I did my best to entertain her for three days, and I think that feeling came through because we became much closer than before I invited her.
Or rather, we had a great time drinking and making noise together.
Also, Camille-san’s sex appeal made me dizzy. Camille-san becomes very sexy when she drinks.
The closeness made me nervous, and I almost confessed my feelings. Well, when I saw Camille-san’s face up close, the huge difference in our levels brought me back to my senses.
When there’s such a huge difference in face value, it’s hard to even dream.
But Camille-san also seems to have healed. Her complexion has improved dramatically, and she seems to have regained her energy, so I think this mission was a great success.
She also increased her level during those three days, so her stamina has also increased, and she should be fine for her next job in the Aquamarine Kingdom.
In addition, after the invitation was over, Camille-san went to visit her friend in the Southern City, and it seemed that she had a good time there as well, and her radiance increased even more.
“Hey, are you listening? Don’t take me for a fool!”
Oh no, it seems that the rude blacksmith has seen through my daydream.
“Sorry, I don’t know much about weapons. I’ll leave the maintenance to Ines and Felicia, so please teach them.”
“Tch, don’t leave the things that protect you to others, you idiot.”
He spoke his mind directly, but it was a fair point, so I couldn’t say anything.
But if I could make an excuse, I don’t think I could do anything with the orichalcum dagger since I’ve never even cleaned a kitchen knife.
“But you just washed and wiped the kitchen knife, right?”
I could do that, but I don’t quite understand why the care instructions increase just because it’s a kitchen knife that’s been turned into a dagger.
“Are you stupid? You can’t cut a living thing with the same blade you use to cut food.
Is that true? Well, in my case, I never use the dagger, so I don’t have many opportunities to take care of it. I’ll take good care of it, but I’ll leave the maintenance to Ines and Felicia.
“First of all, why is the reaction to getting an orichalcum dagger less than when you got the kitchen knife? You’re losing your mind. You should just die.”
If I told him that I was definitely happier with the kitchen knife, he’d probably go crazy.
“Hey, Master, I want to try the dagger.”
Ines speaks to me, ignoring the angry blacksmith. She has a very strong heart.
She’s also in a good mood because she’s holding the orichalcum sword, and her smile is incredibly bright.
“Even if you say you want to try it… what are you going to do?”
Basically, we take care of the sea monsters from a distance. Does she plan to get up close and fight them?
“Let’s do one last job on the southeastern island.”
Ah, she wants to go with Marina-san and the others to see how the sword feels.
“But shouldn’t we go to the Aquamarine Kingdom?”
I don’t think it’s right to postpone our departure just so Ines can test her sword.
“It won’t make any difference if we leave a few days later. Besides, Camille has finished her work this time, so we can camp together, right? Hey Camille, aren’t you interested in the southeastern island? I’m sure Marina and the others won’t mind, right?”
Oh, Ines got the ladies involved.
“Eh? Oh, that’s right… I’ve never been to the southeastern island before, so I’m interested…”
Camille-san, who was suddenly thrown into the conversation, shows her interest even though she is confused.
“I don’t mind.”
“I’ll have a hot sandwich.”
“I like that island, too, so it’s no problem.”
Marina-san, Carla-san, and Claretta-san also seem to have no problem. When I turn to look at Felicia, the last person, she smiles at me. There seems to be no problem.
“Ah, I understand. Then we’ll all go to the Aquamarine Kingdom after we finish the request on the southeastern island?”
To be honest, the prospect of a fun event like camping with Camille-san, who I’ve become close to, is very tempting for me as well. Ines is really good at going her own way, isn’t she?
“Hey, you bastards, don’t talk about whatever you want in my store. If you’ve got nothing to do, piss off, you bastards.”
Before the girls could answer, the rude blacksmith became angry. Anyway, let’s go and accept the request.
I have a good reputation and my own Japanese-style boat, so I’m sure we’ll be able to accept the request.
＊＊＊
Camping on the southeastern island, including with Camille-san, was a lot of fun.
