New Request
Following breakfast, lunch also suited Oswald-san’s palate as he highly praised it .
Then, dinner . I prepared four kinds of rice dishes: vegetable curry and rice, chop-suey ricel, Chinese-style fried rice, mushroom rice with many kinds of mushrooms, and I also made au gratin potatoes, vegetable tempura, miso-pickled cucumbers, and radish stew… regardless for their suitability of eating them together .
“All of them were very delicious . ”
“”Delish~””
Oswald-san ate so much food that I wondered where in his slender body it went, and as if following Oswald-san by example, Allen and Elena also ate a lot of food . So the amount of food that I made thinking that I could store in the Infinite Storage for later was all gone .
“Don’t you feel sick from eating too much…?”
“I feel a little over-indulged, but I’m feeling uplifted . I didn’t realize there were so many different types of food I could eat!”
“I’m glad you liked it, but be careful not to eat too much . ”
At this rate, all I can see is the future where the slender Oswald-san is going to get blubbery and fat .
“”Bee bouncy-bounce?””
“You guys ate lots too, didn’t you~”
“Yeah . ”
“Ate lots~”
“Haha, it should be fine if it’s only once . ”
“”Thank goodness~””
Allen and Elena looked worried as they touched their own stomachs, but when I told them that they will be okay, they seemed reassured .
(Oz will be fine too . Since Oz doesn’t know how to cook, I will be the one making it . I will only make the usual amount of food from tomorrow afternoon . )
“That’s a relief . ”
“N, no way… Marshelly, we just got new recipes to try, so you should cook a little more——”
(You can’t . )
Marshelly-san interrupted Oswald-san’s words and said flatly refused him .
It seems that Oswald-san has no future of gaining weight . Well, he’s a little too skinny now, so I think it’s okay for him to get a little fat, though .
(Oh, by the way, Takumi-san . I have a request for you . )
“A request?”
Marshelly-san looked at me with an apologetic look on her face .
(Yes, I’m really sorry that I’m asking another request of you immediately after you pleted the previous one, but from now on, I would like to ask you to help us procure some condiments and seasonings once every two or three months . )
“Erm… you mean delivering it here?”
(No, we will e to get it ourselves . )
“N?”
If you are ing to pick it up, that means you are ing to town, right? Why not just get it yourselves?
“… It’s my contracted beast that will e to get it .
Oswald-san shabbily added to Marshelly-san’s words .
“By a contracted beast, you mean… Claudia?”
“No, it’s not Claudia, but Lyra, an Edenbird . ”
“… Edenbird . ”
(She just left for a stroll, so she’s currently not present . )
Edenbird is an A-ranked monster . I thought that Dryad and Black Panther were quite incredible to see, but he even contracted with an Edenbird . Oswald-san is truly an amazing person~
When you consider that the only ones I contracted on my own are the Pastel Rabbits… it makes me seem quite miserable, doesn’t it?
“If, if I remember correctly, you said that you have an acquaintance that gets food for you, right?”
“Yes, that’s true, but he is, after all, a hassle to deal with . He reluctantly gets me things like salt and bread because he owes me a favor, but he’s always asking me to find a replacement . ”
(That man is too much of a bother! When I ask him for things, he won’t buy them properly!)
“Oh, really?”
Ahh, so you want me to take over .
“Huh? Earlier, Marshelly-san, you said that you can grow Red Wheat, so I’m sure you can grow soy and miso fruit as well, no?”
(They are plants I have never seen before, so it’s unlikely . )
I see, so it’s not like she can grow… everything .
She didn’t know that shoyu and miso existed, so of course, she has never seen the trees grow .
“But we are moving around so much, wouldn’t it be too difficult?”
“In that case, you can hold onto this . ”
Oswald-san took out a drop-shaped stone that was the same color as his eyes, which looked like fresh green leaves .
“Erm… this is?”
“This is the stone that I poured my magical power into . With this, Lyra can trace my magical power to wherever you are . ”
Oh, which reminds me, when Kaiser gave me his scales, he said something similar!
“Of course, we will make sure that Lyra has more money than it takes to buy it . ”
(Vegetables and fruits, everything I grow here, too . )
The vegetables and fruits grown by Marshelly-san are so fresh and delicious that they are very appealing .
“The main things to buy are salt and bread . The flavorings I provided this time should be fine, right?”
“Yes, indeed . And anything else that seems like I could eat is also wele . ”
(And then there are the processed goods, like tea . I can make herbal tea, but I can’t process tea leaves into tea . And occasionally, household items as well . Whenever a pot or a dish is about to break, I will ask for help . )
I see, they won’t be worried about tea if they don’t have it, but they will wele it . They will also need to replace the aging utensils .
“I understand . I’ll take care of it . ”
I have the Infinite Storage, so I’ll just buy a reasonable amount of it ahead of time to be flexible when Lyra es around .
“Really! Thank you!”
(Thank you for accepting . )
When I accepted, both Oswald-san and Marshelly-san seemed delighted .
(Right, Takumi-san, I can grow plants regardless of the season to some extent, so if there’s anything you want, just ask for it . )
“Thank you . I will let you know if something es to mind . If I e up with any additional dishes, I’ll write them down on a piece of paper for you, too . ”
(Oh my, that’s wonderful . Thank you very much . )
Negotiations were concluded and we spent the rest of the evening relaxing .
“”… Funiyu~””
(Why it’s not me!)
(Vector, don’t make ruckus!)
(Yeah, you will wake up the two . )
Before I knew it, Allen and Elena had fallen asleep on Claudia, using her belly as a pillow . Vector fussed with a disgruntled look on his face, but was chided by Feat and Joule .
“My, oh my, they are totally asleep . ”
“I’m sorry, Claudia . I will move them right away . ”
“Garu . ”
(Takumi-san, she doesn’t dislike it, so it’s fine . )
“Is that so? Ah~ one of my children seem to be getting jealous, though~”
“Hahaha~ is it the red boy?”
Even if you didn’t understand what they were saying, you could tell just by looking at him that Vector was being jealous .
“Correct . I’m going to go take the kids to their room because they will be woken up from all the noise . ”
”Well, if you have someone else’s contracted beast taking your role, you might as well be jealous . Do that then . Yeah, but will you be ing back, Takumi-san?
“Yes, sir . ”
I picked the kids up and laid them down in their room with Vector wagging his tail as hard as he could, and returned to talk with Oswald-san some more .
