Eguchi Ren: The gods and goddesses are back. Oh, but first letβs talk about the 2nd tenant shop
Once everyone has fallen asleep, I went to one corner of the room and called for the gods and goddesses.
βHello, itβs been a long time since weβve spoken. I am now back from the dungeon.β
The sounds of running footsteps thundered in my ears.
βOh, youβre finally back!β
βFinally!β
βOh, did you? I havenβt noticedβ¦β
ββ¦ Iβve been waitingβ¦β
βOu! Welcome back! Whatβs your level now?β
βYes, tell us!β
Oi, oi, is that really what you want to ask me the moment you see me?
βOh yes, I want to know too! Whatβs your level now?β
That excited voice could only be Kishar-sama, [8] the cosmetics otaku.
βIf you must know, my level is now at 62. So I guess Iβve unlocked the 2nd tenant shop.β
A great cheer followed my announcement.
βExcellent, letβs unlock the liquor store right away!β
βNo! I want a drugstore! A drugstore!β
As the two gods and one goddess began to quarrel with each other, other voices added to the chaos.
βWho cares about that, I want cake! I want it now!β
βIndeed, you can discuss the matter later. Iβve been looking forward to a good beer for quite a while now,β
ββ¦ cake, ice-creamβ¦β
Ninril-sama and Ruka-sama were pretty happy with the Japanese Dessert Store Fujiya and could not care less about the quarrel. As for Agni-sama, she had been keen on a liquor store but lost interest once she discovered beer.
βQuiet! We are now having a very important discussion over the next tenant store. So, Shut Up,β [3] said Kishar-sama.
βKishar-sama is scaryβ¦β
βI guess we should just stay quietβ¦β
ββ¦ β¦β
I could only imagine the kind of presence Kishar-sama has to shut these other goddesses up. Still, I donβt want to sit here and listen to their quarrel, soβ¦
βExcuse me, we still donβt know what the options are for the 2nd tenant store. Why donβt we check that out first?β I suggested.
βOh, thatβs right. Well, get to it!β
βBe quick about it now!β
βHurry, hurry~~!β
βY-yes, please hold on,β
I opened up my status and touched the (+1) next to the [Net Super] skill.
Unique skill βNet Superβ has been unlocked.
Please choose one of the following:
– Kantucky
– Suzukiβs Bakery
– Tanakaβs Liquor Store
Oh? Iβm given three options this time?
Hmm, the previous option Wakudonald isnβt here. Instead, they have Kantucky, the other popular fast-food chain. As for Suzukiβs Bakery and Tanakaβs Liquor Store, I can only assume they are independent shopsβ¦ [5] [6] Screams of excitement (and despair) interrupted my musings. [5]
βYes! A liquor shop!β
βItβs here! Weβve waited for for so long!β
Behind the cheers was Kishar-samaβs disappointed, βWhy is there no drugstore? Why liquor store? Whyyy!!β
βAhaha,β I have no control over this and personally, Iβd have chosen Suzukiβs Bakery since speciality baked goods are superior to supermarket ones but I have a feeling the gods might smite meβ¦ [5]
βAlright,β I said over Kishar-samaβs mutterings and the alcoholic duoβs cheering. βShall I unlock Tanakaβs Liquor Store?β
βYes!!β
βDo it!!β
βI donβt careβ¦β
βJust get on with it so that I can have my cake,β
βSame here, I want my weekly beer fix,β
ββ¦cake, ice-creamβ¦β
Well, that settles it. I chose Tanakaβs Liquor Store.
[Do you wish to establish a contract with Tanakaβs Liquor Shop? YES / NO]
YES.
[Contract with Tanakaβs Liquor Shop established successfully. The next tenant will be unlocked at Level 80. We look forward to seeing you again.]
Level 80? That sounds kind of far away. Would it keep doubling, I wonder. With the 4th tenant shop at 160 and so on?
Hmm, I guess I wonβt be unlocking any tenant shops in the near future considering my dislike for dungeons. I prefer to live my life slowly and level up gradually. [5]
βIβve established a contract with Tanakaβs Liquor Store,β
Ah, thereβs that cheer again.
βYes! Yes! Show us, show us all the new liquor!β
βYes! Open it now!β [5]
I can tell that this was going to take a long time, so- [5]
βExcuse me, is it alright if I serve the goddesses first? We can take our time to slowly look over the list of liquors laterβ¦β
βHmm, that sounds reasonable. God of War?β
βAn excellent suggestion, Iβd like to take my time too, God of Blacksmith,β
With that out of the way, I turned my attention to the goddesses.
[Gumihou: Ah, Mukouda-san is displaying his excellent skill as a tactful shop attendant.]
What Gumi imagines Mukouda-san looks like now…

Waiting for the big boss in charge of all the other gods…
Thanks for the treat, and see you next week.
So, it’s finally here, the liquor store. Unclear what kind of stuff it has, but if it’s offering cocktails, then Mukoda is doomed to waste a lot of time taking orders from them drunkards gods.
Thanks for the second chapter! Awesome translation! May God bless you!
Oh my gawd, so many liquors, so many research, so many pics!!
I guess, you have been working on the next chapters, and it’s more of a research job than a translation one?
I mean, I could just leave it alone (I couldn’t) and decided to share my findings, lol!
Mukouda could also try frying chicken differently for a possibly superior overall flavor than Kantucky’s pressure cooker sage flavor. Guga’s youtube channel has three different examples of how different frying fats can be used with fried chicken including Wagyu Fried Chicken. As with many pizza and teriyaki places, before the pandemic, I used to visit any new fried chicken place as well. The worst one oddly enough had great tasting chicken (MSG), but the crust was rock hard and salty wherever it was thick. I ended up throwing away quite a bit of the crust because their ultra-crunchy gimmick was too much for me especially at $4.79 USD for two pieces. And I found a place that due to the pandemic, the amount of chicken sold by the farms to the restaurant and hotel trade went way down, so the chicken farmers dumped their overstock at some stores. If the store didn’t hide behind the pandemic excuse and overpriced their goods, the prices of things like chicken actually went down (at the few stores that didn’t use the pandemic excuse to raise prices). So, the best-priced fried chicken is twenty (20) drumsticks for $6.99 (six dollars and ninety nine cents).

I want Korean fried chicken…
Level 80 seem very far away ?? Just 1 more dungeon and sure Mukouda will be at level 1xx before he know
I wish there would be more tidbits about what happened to the other people from Earth.
Hmmm, this website translate this novel until volume 6 huh. At jnovel they already done volume 10
Ah, yes. I’ve seen their translation. There’s a reason why I decided to go ahead with my own version anyway.
@Hamster, there will be a chapter that will tell you about the other people from the earth at volume 7.
I would have chosen Kantucky. I like fried chicken and I love their chicken sandwich
I love fried chicken too. Japanese Kantacky would probably also have things like riceballs and cute desserts, lol
