Kuishinbo Elf - CH 41

Here’s chapter 41. I’m technically not late since there really is schedule. And someone, please, if you have nothing to do, point out my grammar mistakes. Well, enjoy chapter 41.

41st Meal Soap Bubble

After I’ve finished lunch with just Peachy-sensei, I’m searching the sea floor again.

“Kouhai, your adjustment is messy. It have to be more delicate and quick.”

“Mu, it’s difficult. “

Although it became possible to submerge to the sea floor using a magic barrier, when I collect marine products, seawater also comes into the barrier.

However, when Peachy-senpai adjust the barrier, seawater doesn’t come in at all. I want to be able to do it myself as soon as possible though. This is because I think that I shouldn’t rely on Peachy-senpai forever.

This adjustment can be used in various situations.

I’m definitely going to practice this.

“Damn it! Uaaa! A lot came in!”

Dobadoba* And sea water came into the barrier.

I get frustrated by the seawater that is coming in the barrier in large quantities.

“Still far to go … ….”

Peachy-senpai drained the seawater out of the magic barrier, but the barrier have become quite small.

“Let’s go back for now. The remaining oxygen amount will only last for about three minutes.”

“Aye aye sir.”

I lightly kicked the sea floor and floated up.

The figure of me floating up in my magic barrier looks exactly like a soap bubble.

When I floated back to the surface, I expand the magic barrier again.

I named this as “Soap Bubble,” nothing too complicated.

I don’t need a difficult name.

“Magical God · Bubble Ball” is hard to say.

After I finish deploying the barrier, I activated Gravity Attribute Everyday Magic 「Gravity」and return back to the sea floor.

This is also an everyday magic, the reverse version of 「Zero Gravity」.

I thought that it was an attack magic, but there seems to be another magic for that.

As expected right! Even I can use it without a problem!

I carefully and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.

There was one time when I activated 「Gravity」with all my might, and only I sunk to bottom of the sea at a tremendous speed. It was a terrible experience, so now I would sink down carefully and slowly.

It was good that it was a shallow place … (White eyes convulsions)

The place where I’m heading for right now is quite deep and is a place where it is hard to reach with a normal submarine.

It seems that there is also a lot of water pressure.

I wonder if the bubble will break? Dokidoki.

“No problem. It is adjusted so that it will not break under this degree of pressure.”

“As expected, Peachy-senpai! Nice!”

I slowly land on the sea floor.

While landing, I have to find a surface as flat as possible.

It is because「Soap Bubble」will break when I land on something spiky.

“Oooo, it is amazing!”

Originally, this is a dark place where you can’t see a thing without a light, but… I have the racial characteristic of “Night Vision.”

Even in dark places, there is no problem! (Boast)

“Fukyun! There is a lot of delicious seafood around!”

There it is! Sea cucumbers! There are also crabs and sea urchins!

These guys are difficult because they are spiky.

However, I will overcome them!

“Then, the training resumes. This time, aim for the shrimp over there. Capture it carefully … … okay?”

The prey Peachy-senpai told me was a huge shrimp.

Wait, that is a Ise-Ebi! I have to catch that? (T.N. A Japanese spiny lobster. Typing that is long and sounds somewhat weird.)

If I do it poorly, won’t the soap bubble break?

“It’s fine if you don’t break it. Just do it like I’ve taught you. Believe in yourself.”

” Oo, okay! ”

I carefully approached the lobster from the back … … and it ran away.

“Fuykun! Regretful !!”

“Fumu … … Kouhai won’t be able to catch up to it. It can’t be helped … go after the sea urchin instead.”

This time it is a sea urchin.

This guy … looks it is fully determined to break the soap bubble, and wait! Isn’t it heading this way!

The purple spikes are slowly approaching.

Alright … ! I’ll do it!

Bikibiki … …!!

After a long absence, “! ?” appeared on top of my head. (T.N. I still don’t know what the !? on top of her head means.)

Bring it on, it’s a one on one!

…… I will tell the result.

I lost. Yes, it was a complete defeat.

I was completely beaten.

I was nearly killed by a sea urchin.

Sea urchin, scary.

That thorny bastard is too cowardly ~! Please get fixed!

“It would’ve been instant death if Peachy-senpai wasn’t here.”

“Lets train a little bit more in a shallow place.”

In the end, it was decided that I would conduct basic training in a more shallow place.

Un, the foundation is important! Right! ?

“Ah! El-chan, what is that?”

Linda noticed me while I was training “Soap Bubble.”

Patapata* She came closer and touched the springy “Soap Bubble”

“This is made by utilizing the magic barrier and I call it “Soap Bubble.” It is something adjusted to go into the sea.”

If I do it well, I might be able to fit two people? Yeah, let’s try it.

When I was training, I discovered a magnificent view and Linda surely would like it.

“Linda, maybe!”

“What’s wrong, El-chan?”

I hugged Linda … … Hey over there!

Don’t say that it doesn’t look like I’m just hugging her!

And I deployed the “Soap Bubble.”

As expected, the “Soap Bubble” wrapped around both of us.

“Let’s go!”

“Eh? Ehhhhhh~ !?”

I started the dive while still hugging Linda.

It should be okay even if it breaks in a shallow area.

“Wow … … I can breathe! It’s amazing! El-chan!”

Linda was making a big deal.

Don’t move around too much, the “Soap Bubble” will break.

“Arrival.”

“Wow … its beautiful!”

It is a place where corals are growing in colonies.

The color scheme of the coral is very beautiful.

If it wasn’t from within “Soap Bubble,” it wouldn’t be a sight that can be seen.

It was great that I made “Soap Bubble.” (Elementary school student composition)

Linda was delighted.

I am also happy that she is satisfied. .

So I decided to also go and bring Hulitia and silver dill-sama.

“… … It’s beautiful. Staying here, makes me forget all the disgusting things.”

Hulitia looks at the coral reefs with a face full of expression.

It is not a expression of a seven years old.

It is a expression that shows that she have gone through considerable hardship at her age.

Next is silver drill-sama.

Please don’t drill a hole in the “Soap Bubble!” (One loss)

“Waaaaaa … … It is beautiful! Even jewelry looks just like plain stones!”

Umu, I know right.

After all, you can’t win against “Natural beauty.”

Certainly the gems are beautiful, but they can’t win against the beauty of nature.

As expected, the girls were happy and touched.

But … … Gurysine was very troublesome.

Hey! You’re moving too much~! The “Soap Bubble” will break~! ! (Three losses)

“I, it is beautiful! I, I’ll never forget this! !”

It was worth the effort as she was very pleased.

Of course, it is the same for me. It is like an inexpressible feeling.

Gurycine was the biggest obstacle.

To wrap her, it was necessary to enlarge “Soap Bubble” to the limit.

I feel like my adjustment technique had improved dramatically after this.

Surprisingly, Edward said that he wanted to see it too, so I brought him.

He put his arm around my waist and held me. It is a state of being pressed together.

It is unexpectedly forged … … the muscles.

His face is handsome, not resembling that old man.

Is it similar to his mother? The girls in his surrounding won’t leave it alone.

Hmm? It’s not like I’m thinking of anything weird though?

… Stop thinking about it in a strange way! (Warning)

“It’s beautiful … … El. I’ll never forget this scenery that I saw with you.”

“It’s fine if you come see it again … …”

To my response, Edward denied it while sadly shaking his head.

“Soon, I won’t be able to do that anymore … … there are more and more things that I need to learn. Even after I finish with school, when I go back to the castle, there is a mountain of things for me to learn. Even now, it was hard for me to be able to come here.”

“I see, it was like that… … “

For a while, we watched the corals.

A calm and quiet time passed by… …

“It’s almost time. Let’s get out of the sea.”

“Un, El … if. If, with me … no, nevermind.”

Edward said “Let’s go,” with a slightly sad expression.

He wanted to say something, but he stopped himself.

What did he want to tell me?

The sun is setting, so we started preparing dinner.

This time, I’m going to eat ~~~~~! ! (Determination)

The dinner is barbeque.

Like this, I won’t miss my chance to eat.

We set up 5 grilling table and each of us put what we like onto the grill.

As everyone have gone through training, we set up the grills and made the fire smoothly.

“Come on! Let’s roast a lot!”

Linda is full of energy.

And her smile gives energy to whoever is watching.

Juju* The ribs of Butch Rabi are roasting on the grill.

But, be careful! That’s a sacrifice to summon Hellfire! (T.N. Not sure what reference this is.)

Soon enough, the juicy fat dripping for the ribs fell onto the charcoal, resulting in a stronger fire.

“Hieeeeee!?”

Seeing the flame, Linda flutters panicky.

Hey … … ! Don’t try to drown it with water!

The food will become inedible!

“Calm down! In a situation like this, you do this.”

I grabbed the net with a pair fire tong and brought it away from the grilling table.

Then, the raging flames gradually became smaller.

“Fu~kyun~kyun~kyun … it’s easy right?”

“El-chan, so lovely!”

Fufufu … … praise me even more!

Well, now that it is calm, I will also start roasting.

What I’m roasting right now is maize. Or do you say roasted corn?

Well, either way, it is trivial.

It takes a lot of time to cut it into pieces.

But if I want to eat it deliciously, I can’t spare this effort.

For corn, I’ll paint it with mayonnaise melted with soy sauce using a brush.

Then, I started roasting it on an iron plate.

Eventually, the fragrant of the mayonnaise drifted into the air.

“As usual, you’re taking your time, El.”

While biting onto Butch Rabi’s meat that is on a bone, Rioto picked up some mayonnaise corn that were roasted deliciously and threw it into his mouth without hesitation.

That’s mine … … (shocked).

“Delicious! ? What is this! Even though it isn’t meat, it is super delicious! ?”

I had roasted two corns just in case, so there are no gaps in me.

After overcoming the difficulties, I ate the roasted mayonnaise corn.

“Shaku! Puchipuchi … … gungun … …. gokun.”

Umu! It’s a nice taste! (Conviction)

The burnt soy sauce mayonnaise brings out the sweetness of the corn!

This deliciousness is unbearable!

“Make more~ …”

Rioto urges me to make it again.

Eii, something of this level do it yourself!

Somehow, it feels like I’m taking care of a useless husband that can’t do any housework.

My my … … what a useless person. (Wife act)

“If you don’t learn to do things yourself, you’ll have a hard time in the future, you know?”

“Then, El can take care of me.”

You … at least think a little.

Rioto answered at a reflex-like speed.

“…… I won’t hand over El.”

Gyu* And Hulitia hugged me.

“Ah! Unfair! Me too ~!”

Linda also came and hugged me.

Um … … sorry, I want to… barbeque… … (Urgent)

When I noticed, I was able to see that hermit crab-kun in my sight again.

It is slowly approaching.

Its hand … pair of claws was holding a fish.

It gave me the fish and tried to leave without saying anything.

Is it a thinks for the lunch?

“Oi …… Wait! Sit down hermit crab-kun!”

We nurtured a strange friendship.

With the huge hermit crab, we enjoyed a short party.

Surprisingly, no one disliked the short party with hermit crab-kun.

“Well, it is El…”

“Haha, I know right!”

And it ended with just that.

I don’t know if I should be happy or not …  … Well, I’ll just put it on hold! ! (Escaping reality)

I prepared the fish I got from hermit crab-kun and placed it onto the hot steel plate.

Grilling it to rare is good.

The fish is something that is similar to tuna.

Then, soy sauce should go well with it.

I painted soy sauce onto it with a brush and handed to hermit crab-kun.

“Here, eat it…”

The hermit crab-kun received the food and ate it deliciously.

Rioto got cocky and removed the shell, and got yelled at by Hulitia,

Linda observes the hermit crab-kun interestingly,

Ganzurok is eating the tuna look-alike while drinking alcohol, (T.N. Wait he’s 7.)

Folbert is watching over everyone with gentle eyes,

and I handed some roasted meat to Folbert.

The hermit crab-kun is quietly observing everyone’s expressions and movements.

Eventually, Danan and Rick also joined us,

Edward and silver drill-sama are also enjoying the barbeque while being surprised by hermit crab-kun.

Gurysine also cleaned up her food and joined us.

Of course, she ate a lot over here.

The lively time had gone by quickly.

Is this known as a “Time of happiness?”

“Yeah … don’t forget this experience.”

Peachy-senpai … …. Thank you very much! !

I promised that I will never forget this day, where I spent with everyone …
