I heard you got your arm eaten off.　What a total idiot~!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You are relentless, Master.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hah~ Master really never changes, does he?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

People don't change that much at my age. Whoa, is this the Ivy we've heard so much about?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmm?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Come to think of it, there is a rumor going around about me, I forgot about it because I'm not interested.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Nice to meet you, Ivy. Mr. Druid has been a big help to me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I bowed my head and greeted him, and after a bit of surprise, he grinned at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmmm, this smile.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's a little creepy, like he's up to something.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I heard there was a silly kid following a druid around, but apparently it's not what they say it is.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Stupid kids following you around?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Come to think of it, I've been with a lot of things lately.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Does it look that way to those around you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is that what they say about you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The druid's slightly impatient voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There's no need to worry about it, though.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Master."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Whoa, you have an objection?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Objection?　No, I don't. I am fine with being a silly child."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I think every child has a silly part somewhere.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What's wrong with that?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You are a very strange child.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Master!　It's rude."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You're as serious as ever!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The slightly stunned expression on the master's face and the weary druid's expression.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The two have very different expressions, yet somehow they seem to mesh very well together, don't they?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But still, this master is quite habitual.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What is Master doing here?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm getting food. And the druids?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes," he said. That's not true. Why are you in this town?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was in a neighboring town when I found out that a request for assistance came from this town. I was wondering how the disciples were doing, so I came to see them."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Oh, by the way, you mentioned that Guilmouth had asked for assistance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You mean the master was worried about his apprentice and came to see him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You have a kind heart, don't you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Didn't he come to laugh when he saw Guilmouth and me in trouble?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmm?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As expected, that is .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, that's about it. But we were just a little bit worried."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... I see.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, it's possible that you're not really saying what you mean.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'But it's pretty much the Grubal effect. About half the stalls are closed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That much?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, I've seen it all the way around, I'm sure of it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Two days ago, many stalls were still open.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'I see. What shall we do, Ivy? If the food stalls are in this state, the eateries probably aren't either."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Why don't we go back to the square?　We still have food and can make simple things. How about you, Master?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Arrrgh!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Whoa?　Are you sure?　Druid, I'm sorry~!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Druid, you have to hang in there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Because you say it out loud, you will be played by the master.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Huh, master. Please don't bother Ivy."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'...... really isn't what the rumors say it is.'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm afraid to ask what kind of rumors are going around.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I guess I shouldn't worry about this one as much as I have been.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ivy, do you mind?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, the master is aiming at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'No, I don't really mind. Is there anything you can't eat for that matter?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What an uncharacteristic child.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I hope you won't sulk because I won't take you up on your master's story, but .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, is this another trap?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I feel a little peeking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let's ignore .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Since you don't seem to like it, I'll make it up as I go along."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Oooooh, not at all like when I was a druid or a child of Gothos. Are you really six or seven?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm used to it by now!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I mean, who is Gothos?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... Oh, I think Mr. Gilmouth had a name like that ...... not?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Master, I am nine years old."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You said, "......9 years old?　That small?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Gosh, small is the word that sticks in my mind the most.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let's go back to the square for now. Ivy, should we look for a place to shop on the way?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We still have, uh, wild rabbit and field mouse meat for ingredients, and there are still some vegetables left.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We also have some rice for the times of need, which we newly secured today.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We've also secured a lot of seasonings and medicinal herbs along the way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We will be fine. However, Mr. Druid may have the same bowl of rice as yesterday, is that OK?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Of course. I'll help you, whatever you need."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No," he said. It's okay. It's easy."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not okay with it, but I'm a little uncomfortable with being helped.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's nice to have help, but I can't cook according to my own arrangements.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't like that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I would appreciate it if they could at least pick up the plates for me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Come to think of it, when I was with the Rattlers, we used to cook together in the beginning.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Before I knew it, though, it had changed to just serving plates and preparing water and tea.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wonder if ...... maybe it was an unconscious attitude?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, you asked me once, 'Would you be more comfortable cooking alone?' And.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I didn't realize it at the time, so I wondered why you would ask me that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Maybe he was just trying to make me feel comfortable so I could cook.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll thank her next time I see her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What's up?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, I just remembered something that happened a while ago.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yeah?"　Let me know if you need anything else."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, sir.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yesterday was oyakodon-modori, and today is a beef bowl with lots of meat?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Can we substitute wild rabbit or field mouse meat?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, let's make it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If it is full of meat, it will be okay to some extent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, you can taste the meat in a bowl of rice, so let's use herbs to remove the smell of both hare and field mouse.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What's a 'donburi'?　Never heard of it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, I didn't ask the master if the rice was okay.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It'll be ready when it's ready."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Druid, I can tell by your expression that there is something going on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Master, then.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ho~, that sounds interesting."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... Did you make good use of the Master's personality?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's kind of heartbreaking to be between these two.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Back at the plaza, I go into the tent and take Sola and Flem out of the bag.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I leave the potion on the table. Eat slowly."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After making sure the two animals pull and sway at their own speed, we leave the tent and begin cooking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

First we cook rice, then we rub the wild rabbit meat with herbs to remove the smell, and next we rub soy sauce into the rice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Come to think of it, in my memory I soak the rice in water before cooking it, but the rice here is too soft if I do that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I guess the nature of the rice is a little different after all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll get you some tea."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you." Is it okay with you, Master?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, I'm fine. I mean, I need a break myself. How come you're so chipper?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hahahaha, it's like the master has been playing with me all day.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Good work."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After Mr. Druid finished preparing the tea, he sighed loudly and went to his master.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sure he'll play with you again if you're that sad. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, I think he said something.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is everything alright?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The rice is cooked and all that's left is steaming, so I need to finish the ingredients in the meantime.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I put the hare meat and vegetables in the broth, simmer it, and season it with soy sauce and honey.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Today I added dried spicy herbs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then, I'll finish it with eggs ...... and six nuts.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Done.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, let's take it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmm?　

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Why is Mr. Druid falling apart?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The master looks oh so extremely happy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It takes courage to approach there.
