Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

Episode 63: Conditional Adoption

Forget my arm pillow, I decided to eat a mesh first.

Today's menu includes fried rice and mountain vegetable tempura, stir-fried vegetables and meat, and egg rolls. And I served pudding for dessert, which is my strength.

"Oops, yummy! I've never eaten anything so delicious -. What Lars said was true!

As expected, Ferris ate well. I quickly finished eating fried rice with a pile of rice, partly because I had barely eaten anything for the past two days. When it was eaten at this pace, all the dishes would be finished, so I became the winger to make fried extra.

He also finished the dessert and still looked like he had eaten it, so when I gave him 20 calves that were in infinite storage, he flattened it with pepper and was finally satisfied.

After Meshi, I could also ask her about Lars. Sounds like he's still crying, but he's working pretty hard. He's also taking the lead in hunting, and he said he's going to be a good warrior if he stays this way. If Lars's skin is over and he's going on a journey, I want to see him again.

Ferris heard about us almost every day from Lars. I've been with Lars for a week or so, but the content is quite exaggerated, and on top of that, coupled with Ferris' delusions and expectations and a convenient interpretation, it seemed to me to be perceived as God's time figure.

At night, I decided to ask Pallis to stay with me in her room. When I boiled the bath, they seemed to see something called the bath for the first time, sparkling my eyes.

"The bath feels so good. Let's go in together!

Pallis is showing off her good sister, so I'll leave the rest to her.

We'll go back and take a bath, too.

Ferris, I don't know what to do.

"Isn't your husband coming by now to make up his mind?

"Um, I'm Lars' sister. Nah. I can't even leave it down there."

"But with all that appetite, I think Mr. Pallis and Master Rico are in trouble"

"Hmm. Make Ferris remember to cook, too?

"That may be the minimum"

When I got out of the bath, Gong came into our room. It's unusual for a gong to visit at night.

"That dragon girl named Ferris, depending on the conditions, may be good here -"

"Oh, we were talking earlier, too. He eats a lot, doesn't he? I'm going to let you cook. And maybe we can let him hunt himself."

"There is something more important than that - With her, maybe we can get through the Juka Mountains intact."

"I see!"

My failure to return to the kingdom of Juka was for a reason that I could not return even if I wanted to. The distance from the Headata Empire is the problem. It will be an itinerary of about two months from the imperial capital to the kingdom of Juka, as it takes a route around the Juka Mountains. Just go and come back and you'll be gone for four months. I can just as well empty the hall for about six months, and His Excellency the Chancellor won't look good. But if you cross the Juca Mountains, it's only a few days. With Illimo, you can get there in as little as two days. This is huge.

We decided to try and get that condition out early tomorrow morning, and we went into bed.

But there's something wrong with Rico from earlier. You don't say a word. Guess how that went, Mae walked into her room.

"... Rico?"

"Rico? Is the arm pillow okay?

Keep your back on me from now on and I won't answer anything. I'll put my arm under her neck and give her an arm pillow. Then Rico turned to Gabba and me,

"Why are you putting that dragon girl in the mansion?

"Is Rico against it?

"I'm kind of unforgivable. I can't believe you have such a flirtatious attitude. And I haven't even been invited, but I eat as much as I want, and I take care of Linos."

"I'm just a kid, so I guess I can't help it."

"Plus, how could you possibly have an arm pillow or something like that..."

"Oh, when I returned that kid's brother to the mountains, I gave him an arm pillow."

"You must have worn an arm pillow besides mine, right?

"It's a young male dragon. If I didn't, I wouldn't have slept well. It's just Rico and May for women, isn't it?

"Put that little girl in the mansion... ah"

I hugged Rico, with or without him, and took his lips.

"Huh, ha, ha, I, I..."

"I know. Leave the arm pillow to Rico alone. Wouldn't that be nice?

"If that's... fine."

"Thanks, Rico"

Rico was really pretty with her eyes moistened and her face turned bright red. I hugged Rico again.

It was morning and Ferris was already waiting when we went to dine. Pallis handily cooks breakfast, and Rico, who sees it, goes to help. May seems to be in the care of Illimo. Me and Gong sit in front of Ferris. Then Ferris stood up,

"Yesterday, I'm sorry for all the rudeness. I'll do anything I can to help you, so put it here, please."

Keep your head down with the pepper.

"Okay. You can sit down. We don't eat what we can't work. So, the guy who doesn't do anything doesn't want us. In putting Ferris here, I want to attach two conditions"

Ferris swallows gokuri and spit.

"The first condition is, in being here, I want Ferris to help Rico and Pallis. The point is, I want you to learn to cook. If you want to eat a lot, you may also want to come hunting for ingredients in the woods. I leave the hunting of the woods to the harpies, so it would be nice to do it jointly with them. That's the first one. The second is, if you can't do this, that's fine. Actually, could you measure it so we can cross the Juka Mountains? That's the Dragon's Nest, and when you get close to Heta, the Dragon will attack you. Could you please measure just where the Ferris herd manages to get them through safely? That's the second one."

Ferris stares at my face and nods cocklessly.

"I'm good at hunting. Because I've trained for it. Plus, I think the passage through the Juca Mountains is okay. If I were with you, I'm sure no one would touch me."

"Okay, okay. Then you can stay here as long as you want!

"Oh, thank you very much. Uh-huh. Yeah."

I cried out. She's no less than my brother, and she seems to be in tears, too.

"Everybody gather around! This is Ferris, who has been my new companion since today. Say hello, everybody!

"Nice to meet you"

"Say hello."

"Nice to meet you -"

Nice to meet you.

"Bitter, Bitter, Yorujiku, please, first of all."

Ferris greeted everyone crying. But the prepared breakfast flattened me beautifully.

"Okay, I'm going to work. Let's make it a Ferris celebration tonight. I'll get some ingredients in Teito!

"Now, sugar, please!

"Buy me a fish today. And kelp and shrimp and squid."

"Your husband, Nigari is also running out -"

"Roger, I'll close the store early today and come back. May, let's go."

Me and May crossed over to Illimo.

Today's store had a pretty free day, in addition to a few requests made shortly after opening. We decided to use this as an opportunity to make cakes at the store.

Seasonal strawberries were purchased on the market to create the trick, including tons of harpy eggs, flour, sugar and butter in infinite storage. Along the way, I nearly burned dangerously by mistake of adding or subtracting fire magic, but managed to make a silly big hall cake by the close of the store.

Dinner that day, sometime, was extravagant. Meat, fish, salad, etc. were arranged narrowly on the table, and we all struck our tongues. Sounds like Ferris was out hunting soon, too, and has hunted eight big cow monsters. Gong said it was hard to dismantle it, but this meat was also very delicious with elegant fat.

And for dessert, I behaved like a cake of Me and May's strength. This luxurious cake is made with a lot of strawberries. They all deliciously delicious and delightfully ate. Because the taste of the harpy eggs is still good, it has a very elegant finish. Later on, Harpy's eggs seem to be super fancy and rarely in the mouth of even royalty. That's why I can do it well.

As for Ferris' room, next to Pallis' room, I decided to let him use the room I originally used. They basically stay humanized, and this is part of their training, too. Then we couldn't wear the same clothes every day, and just now we went to Teito to collect Ferris clothes, hunting weapons, protective equipment, and beds.

The baggage I originally brought was mostly food and I barely had any personal belongings. What were you going to do if you couldn't find our mansion? Sometimes it seems that we need something to get our supplies out of the room and we go shopping in Imperial City for a few days.

A week after Ferris came, her life was finally calming down, too. And as if waiting for that time, Geneha and the others returned. The report that was brought to me there was a shock.
