594 Undernourished babies and why

The baby's name is Sonorus, it's a girl.

He says he's the only kid in here right now.

If you are suspicious because there are no dragon tribes younger than Garelado, they say that the people a little below are out of the house to take the job of training martial artists and ascertaining dragon habitat with their superiors.

In other words, Sonorus is the only child who will be underage. The child was also only a little girl of one year old.

"My mother died in the puerperium. She was originally a weak child. She was breastfed in the village of Geheimnisdorf and raised for six months, but she became weaker and weaker as she came back from breastfeeding. If we survive this, we'll have kids."

Aprilis gave in and showed me as she hugged the baby. I do look pale.

Behind her is Knox, the vigilante chief, who says the baby will be his relative if you ask.

"It's hard to understand, but there's no way in this world to say a couple and their children as one family. There is a family that goes on for a long time, and it is called the 'First Great Seven Heroes'. I call that blood muscle home, especially close. People are like relatives, right?

"Yeah."

"Most of all, people in every house help me for a number of reasons, such as not having a woman. Aprilis has been taking care of me these days at night. I have an old ex-girlfriend warrior during the day, so I'm counting on you."

I received Sonorus from Knox without one hand, said no to him, and then hung up the appraisal.

As always, long information, like fools, keeps flowing through Siu's head. I pulled out as many places as I needed to and didn't see the rest at all, but when I was distracted, I got drunk due to too much information, so I checked carefully.

"Er, Sonors-Nois..."

Speaking of which, Garelado, who stood silently behind Siu, grabbed me in his arms.

Oops.

If I was surprised and panicked, I found out that I didn't hold him, I went to press Siu's mouth.

Muggle said it, and Knox pulled Garelado's arm away with a bitter smile.

"Wouldn't you be dead then? Still a stranger."

"My body was floating!

"Mm, did I? Sorry, Siu."

"But I was surprised. Well, Siu doesn't know the rules inside."

As I was listening coughing up a threesome conversation, Aprilis said something that bothered me. Turning her gaze at you, she looked troubled and laughed.

"You appraised him, and you found out his name, didn't you? But don't talk about it. That's the real name among us. It's the only name I can teach my opponent. All you have to do is know your parents. In this child's case, his father is dead, so only a namesake magician knows."

"The magician?

"I wouldn't know if you weren't at the feast. A man named Pulkla. He's 255, but he looks about my age."

"What?"

"You won't even know this, so I'll tell you. Strong individuals are rarely born in the Dragon Nation. A woman would most likely be a magician. Such individuals live long lives."

"Sure, it's usually about 300 years, the life expectancy of the Dragon Nation."

"Yeah, but stronger individuals will live more. Though it seems to vary from person to person. So is Garelado. Strong individuals add a second name to their true names. I don't know Garelado's real name either, though I don't know what it means."

"Heh."

It's just a fact I don't know.

"So, anyway, you decided you didn't see Sonorus' real name, right?

"Right. Or be her husband in the future."

"It's bad for her, even with a joke."

"I wonder. Short-lived people, burning romance, I feel lovely."

"Aprilis, don't be insensitive"

"Garelado is fine. Even people know the difference in life expectancy."

Sister brother fights have begun, so I decided to ignore them, and Siu turned to Knox.

"I knew I was undernourished."

"Well, it still is"

"Perhaps even before, we didn't have enough minerals or anything to grow our kids. Meat prey is primarily a warcraft, isn't it?

"Yes..."

Knox tilted his neck as he did not seem to understand the intent of Siu's question.

"How are you doing with the Warcraft gut?

"That's so poisonous, it's not for people. It's burning down."

"I guess. It's hard to handle. If you're a rider, you can eat it."

In some things, even people can eat their guts, but many people don't eat them because there is another way to use them.

"Are there few ordinary beasts?

"Right, about a bear?"

"Do you ever eat liver?

"If you're a bear liver, warriors eat. but only while it's fresh. As a hunting privilege, only warriors eat."

"That's overnourishing, isn't it? But for those reasons, young children are undernourished."

Knox was drooling over Siu's words.

It would certainly be a shock if the children who have died so far were said to be undernourished.

It's a carnivorous species, so I guess I've managed to survive this far.

I've heard other stories from Sonus and Wale that there was a lot of rock salt near the volcano a long time ago, and that licking it was also increasing in strength.

However, during the great breeding season of the dragon hundreds of years ago, it seems that the ancient dragon was annihilated by a rampage in its rock salt mountain. He said the address was nearby and he went mad. Usually ancient dragons like sage broke out, so the dragon tribes at the time were surprised, he said.

So, the rock salt mountain that ate the convolutions disappeared.

Since then, the dragon population has gradually declined, he said.

Initially they said it was a punishment for the dragon people who couldn't contain the ancient dragon or the great breeding season, but lately they conclude it's probably because they stopped eating rock salt from that place.

"Must have been a mixture of rich nutrients."

I guess it was also because of that that my life continued in a harsh place.

"In the meantime, let's reform and nourish. I wish I could find that rock salt, but I'd rather move on to the food I can make than rely on the ingredients that will one day be gone if I think about the next generation of dragon people. You just want to keep that as a spare."

They found me excited, and Wale laughed at me bitterly.

She was shocked when she told me she was going to have cocatrice, so searching for rock salt also seems to be a dream story. I mean it.

At noon, we prepared a vegetable-rich weaning meal made of horned milk for Sonorus.

At first he didn't like it and ate it, but after taking one or two bites, he was very mouthful.

"It's been a hundred million robberies eating here lately!

"... That smells good. I'd love to, too."

"No, Wale. You're not an adult! This is for Sonorus only."

"I know. I know. Just think about the future. Taste it."

Aprilis was reluctant to answer Wale, who insisted, if there was any excess.

I'd really like to have a horned cow, but I don't have the means to bring him in.

I wondered about the livestock, but in Geheimnisdorf they have goats, but when the Dragon tribe approached them, they became frightened and noisy, which meant they couldn't keep them inside.

"Then it's Cocatrice, after all!

"No, it was delicious, though"

"That's delicious, but can you grow it in here? You touch your mouth and it's petrified, Siu."

"You don't have to touch it. Prepare the bait and decide where to lay the eggs. It's okay, and I can make a pill to eliminate petrification."

"Oh, does that happen?

"You make it with Cocatrice's mouth. I've hunted a lot on my way here, so I have it. Why don't we just make some pills, too?

"... you, genius!

Wale has been incited to mention it.

Garelado was frightened beside him.

Quickly, in the afternoon, I went out hunting for cocatrice.

Even so, the place where the flock is is away. I said I was on my way, but across the street from almost blank land.

They knew Siu was going with a transfer to Garelado, and he successfully refused to tell me to go with him because the other warriors were dangerous.

I asked him to take care of Crowe and Blanca with Aurea.

Some dragon warriors showed difficulty in letting Shiu go alone, but Garelado told me that Shiu was better up in the mountains, and I was forgiven.

For once, it's strange to go on a day trip, so I decide to go for a night.

I used to tell Crowe and Blanca that I was making a good girl out of it.

Clo seemed to have conveyed meaning. He was ringing "Ki-yu" with a strange face, but Blanca said, "Mi-yu? ♪ Are you gonna play me? And the reply was strange, and I laughed.

Anyway, it's a hunt to enrich the life inside.

Siu waved to his worried face and left with Ferres.
