227 – She who does not work, neither shall she eat

On returning to thenote left for me

「Milady, in accordance with the instructions of Master Blow, the portions of your food have been reduced Hitherto, we can no longer serve what you request Please understand However, please put yourat this castle, we shall continue to offer youand noon meals We believe that our chefs efforts willresult」

In short, there’ll be less food now, okay? That ain’t “okay”! Certainly, the food here is delicious But, I need a lot too! If there’s gonna be less food, how ah, unbelievable At this rate, death by starvation (for my clones) awaits Can I let my clones hunt suitablethere’s no way I can let the, the ecosystem will collapse In fact, because of me the Elro Great Labyrinth’s ecosystem is quite warped already It’s possible that the establishment of the System whereby monsters attack humans will break down

In that case, should I at least let the clones hunt insects and sars can’t be choosers

Also, I’ll get those orders froinal food portions restored I guess Blow – he’s that hoodluive out orders, that uess I should expect hi huh? Given the fact that dee, it’s also possible for hiuy’s identity He’s done so that should not be done It’s been often said that to deprive ht to teach hies over food

Even still, it’s not like what he’s getting at is actually wrong you know From his point of view I’m basically a freeloader, for one I a it, you know In order to otta eat loads ya see

Since I’uest, even if they reduce the ato serve me food I wonder if that hoodlu? If he knew I don’t think he’d do this, but I’m not sure At the least, I reckon that hoodlum didn’t discuss thishi I doubt he’ll oppose , the o direct to Balto If I do that I think I’ll be able to regain the original aet worse with that hoodlu when opposing authority Orprejudiced If I appeal to Balto, I could be viewed like a parasite that relies on sucking up to authority That, sure would be galling

Thus, on top ofthat hoodlum capitulate, I want to brazenly deuess I better put some effort in I secluded myself in my room

The next day, I went to the castle When I had asked the mansion’s butler about the hoodlum’s whereabouts, I heard he was norotten for me previously, I was able to easily enter the castle But, after that it got bad To request awith that hoodlu itself I went to the castle in the ot to meet him Damn red tape

「What do you want?」

In that voice was unconcealed irritation and tiredness Th, the heck, he’s working!? When I entered the hoodlum’s office, there was stacks of paperwork totally in contrast to his appearance You’re a da desk work for!? The definition of a hoodlum collapses!

「Hey, I’m busy here Hurry up and state your business」

Oops For ascene To the hoodlue load of more documents I take out a heap of documents from another dimension and slam them down
