Chapter 6

Sure. Here is the English translation:

Yes. After replying to comments, it became this late to post.

There were many. It took me an hour just to reply.

Well, first of all, I ranked second in the daily overall ranking.

Is this a dream? My cheeks hurt...

And the number of daily accesses was 80,000, which was a huge jump from yesterday's 15,000. I thought it would be 20,000 next, but this is incredible.

I'm really happy, but the growth is abnormal. It's even a bit scary.

Bookmarks are the same, 400! I was so happy, but when I checked just now, it's 2,000.

Thank you all so much.

I've received many comments and criticisms, and there are more areas I need to improve.

I'll work hard to study and make it easier to read, so please continue to support me.

It's still rough, but please enjoy it.

Around 7 PM, I finally returned to the "Reese Clinic."

I entered the clinic as if it were my home, called out Reese's name, and sat on the sofa where I slept yesterday, sinking into it.

Relaxing, I lit a cigarette and enjoyed a blissful moment.

"What, you're making yourself at home!"

Reese approached Kuren with a vein popping, grabbed his collar, and shook him.

Kuren, showing no sign of remorse, laughed and said, "Sorry, sorry, just went with the flow."

Once Reese calmed down, he asked if Kuren had eaten dinner. When Kuren replied that he hadn't, Reese said,

"I'll make it. Reese, just wait there. Got it?"

Part of it was that he didn't want to eat the food that destroyed people's taste buds again.

Reese asked where the kitchen was and went to the back of the clinic.

Kuren stood in the kitchen, and Reese stood behind him, fidgeting.

"Where are the ingredients? And where are the seasonings?"

The kitchen was so barren that he couldn't help but ask.

"Ugh..."

Kuren averted his eyes and seemed to say, "Don't ask."

Seeing this, Reese sighed, thinking Kuren probably hadn't cooked much.

"Well, I won't ask too much. So? Where are the ingredients? And the seasonings?"

"The ones I bought today are in here. The seasonings are all in the lower cabinet."

Reese handed Kuren a basket containing chicken and several types of vegetables.

Kuren placed the ingredients on the kitchen counter, opened the lower cabinet, and checked the seasonings. He decided to make something simple.

He cut the chicken and vegetables into bite-sized pieces and put them in a bowl.

He added soy sauce, cooking wine, and sugar to the bowl to marinate the ingredients.

He mixed everything well, coating the chicken and vegetables.

He lit the stove, placed a frying pan on it, and drizzled some oil. Once the oil was hot, he added the chicken and vegetables.

The sizzling sound was pleasant, and the smell of the cooking chicken filled the kitchen.

The vegetables cooked and absorbed the marinade.

He picked up a bun from the table, cut it in half, and placed the chicken and vegetables on the bottom half.

He then placed the top half of the bun on top, completing the chicken burger.

"Amazing..."

Kuren's efficiency made Kuren feel a bit envious, but hunger won out.

He quickly placed his chicken burger on a plate and sat at the table.

"It's a quick meal, so it's not fancy, but it'll fill your stomach, right?"

Kuren laughed and said to Reese.

Reese took a bite, and his cheeks relaxed.

The chicken juices spread in his mouth, and the sweet and savory sauce stimulated his tongue.

The vegetables were well-seasoned, and each bite brought out their sweetness, delighting his taste buds.

Reese ate the burger quickly.

Seeing that Kuren still looked hungry, Reese made another one from the leftovers in the pan, and Kuren happily took a bite.

Seeing this, Kuren easily imagined what kind of food Kuren usually ate.

It was probably the kind of food that destroyed people's taste buds.

Kuren also took a bite and gave it a 30 out of 100.

After finishing the meal, they sat on the sofa.

"Did you go today? To the noble's house?"

Reese, curious, asked Kuren.

"Yeah, I went. Got a good reward too."

Kuren smiled and gave a thumbs up.

"How much did you get? You cured a disease that even the High Priest couldn't, so it must have been a good amount, right?"

Reese, extremely curious, looked at Kuren, eager to know.

Kuren, thinking it was fine to show, showed the check to Reese.

"Huh? Am I seeing things? I've been tired lately... One, ten, hundred, ... million. Five hundred forty-five million Rials!!!? Are you kidding me! How much money did you get!"

The amount was so large that Reese was shocked and speechless.

"Ah, it's a down payment. The same amount will come in again."

Kuren casually added, leaving Reese speechless.

"How many years would it take me to earn this much? Nineteen million Rials. At 300 Rials per treatment, ahahaha."

Reese had a far-off look and a hollow laugh.

The shock of the amount had broken her.

Suddenly, she noticed the seal on the check and was shocked again.

"Hey, is this the Orbis family's seal? They're a noble family who made their fortune in trade! Everyone in this city knows them."

Kuren had no interest in the person he helped.

He only thought of nobles as rich.

"You said yesterday, but you didn't mention that then."

Kuren said, thinking it was a hassle.

"You only said the name of the daughter yesterday. How could I know! Besides, it's strange that you were even allowed into their house."

Reese said, irritated.

"Yeah, I met someone in the noble district and got them to vouch for me. They seemed to be in a tight spot, probably grasping at straws. They couldn't see the bigger picture."

Kuren laughed.

Reese decided not to press the matter, thinking it would be a loss if she did.

She then asked where the commercial guild was and if they had cigarettes.

Learning that cigarettes existed in this world, Kuren made a fist pump.

Thinking he would get up early and take action tomorrow, Kuren went to sleep on the sofa.

---

Birds were chirping.

The pleasant sunlight illuminated Kuren.

He opened his eyes slightly, thinking it was morning, and got up.

He stretched, stood up from the sofa, and greeted Reese.

"Good morning. You wake up early, Reese."

While saying this, Kuren rubbed his eyelids.

Reese, with a bemused look, said,

"You, you went to bed earlier than me, so how long are you going to sleep! It's almost noon. Get up, you idiot!"

Reese hit Kuren on the head with a thick book.

The shock woke Kuren up.

He had overslept badly.

Thinking it was fine, Kuren left the Reese Clinic.

His destination was the commercial district where the commercial guild was located.

---

Kuren arrived at the commercial guild.

It was lunchtime, and the place was bustling with explorers and adventurers.

"There are too many people. It's not funny."

With a wry smile, Kuren entered the commercial guild.

There were several counters, and people were buying and selling items.

He decided to ask at the reception counter, which was at the far end.

"Excuse me, I want to cash this check."

Kuren showed the check to the receptionist, a woman.

"Sure, I can handle that. Please hand it over."

The woman smiled, took the check, and confirmed the amount.

"F... Five hundred forty-five million Rials?"

Her eyes widened, and her mouth opened and closed.

"Don't make such a big fuss. It'll be a hassle."

Kuren said, stopping her from making more noise.

The woman nodded quietly, apologized, and processed the cashing, bringing the amount from the back.

"Here are 19 gold coins. Would you like to check them?"

She handed the bag of gold coins to Kuren.

"No, it's fine."

Kuren smiled and declined.

He knew that counting the gold coins would draw a lot of attention, so he didn't.

Also, if the commercial guild cheated, it would lose its credibility, so he didn't think that would happen.

Kuren was about to leave the counter with the bag of money when the receptionist called out to him.

"If you'd like, would you consider buying an item box? You don't have one, right?"

She said with a slightly strained face.

"Item box? What's that?"

Kuren asked, a question mark appearing over his head.

"Carrying that much money by hand is risky. It's safer to store it in an item box."

She smiled and tried to sell it to him, partly out of concern.

Kuren agreed.

"Sure, I'll take one. How much is it?"

"It's 50,000 Rials."

Kuren took a gold coin from the bag and paid.

He then put on the ring, which adjusted to fit his finger perfectly after a moment.

"Wow! What is this?"

He was surprised.

The concept that metal could stretch was foreign to him.

The receptionist looked at him curiously, wondering what he was surprised about.

When he asked, he learned that armor and other items could also stretch.

This was apparently common in this world.

Indeed, when forming a party and getting new armor, the old armor could be passed to other party members, but if it didn't fit, it couldn't be used. With stretchable items, anyone could use them.

Kuren listened, thinking it was convenient.

After listening, he opened the item box and put the bag of gold coins inside.

He then left the commercial guild.

Kuren walked around the commercial district.

It was the third day since he arrived in this world, and he wanted to change his clothes, so he headed to a store that sold clothes.

After walking a bit, he found various clothes in stalls and high-end stores.

He searched for something similar to an aloha shirt.

He found it in a high-end store in front of him.

Kuren entered the store and picked out a few that he liked.

He didn't check the prices.

He chose about seven shirts and, seeing some shorts, picked out about seven of those as well.

He brought them to the counter and said,

"I'll take these."

The clerk smiled, folded the items, and put them in a paper bag.

"The top shirt is 5,000 Rials each. Seven for 35,000 Rials. The shorts are 4,500 Rials each. Seven for 31,500 Rials. The total is 66,500 Rials."

The clerk smiled and said the amount.

Kuren took the bag from the item box, gave two gold coins to the clerk, and received change.

He put the clothes in the item box and left the store.

"Ah,
