"Ryu-o-kun, don't be rough!"
Alyria is pointing her index finger at the sky and putting her hands on her hips as she warns the angry Dragon King, whose body is dyed bright red.
"U....... Wow, I get it. ......"
Like a little brother who has been scolded by his big sister, Ryuoh has beco afraid. Alyria invites him to co to the house and play with her.
Alyria says, "Alyria, it's late at night, we'll play another ti.
"Yeah~. I want to take a bath with Ryu-o-kun."
"No. Absolutely not.
...... can't. I was about to get really pissed off at my daughter. Allyria is a little horrified at my unusual behavior.
"No, the Dragon King is busy too. You mustn't interfere with his work."
"......Yeah, okay. Okay, Ryu-o-kun, I'll see you next ti."
"Yeah, you can call anyti."
I urge Ferris to return to the house. She nodded and walked toward the house hand in hand with Alyria. Alyria, who probably wanted to play with the Dragon King as much as I did, turned around and walked back to the house.
"If you touch my daughter, I'll kill you for real!
"What are you talking about, you ......?"
The Dragon King has a look of dismay on his face. No, this is the kind of man you can never be too careful with. When I ca ho, the Dragon King was sitting there and suddenly called "father" or sothing like that. ....... I try to turn him away and tell him to go ho, but he says, "Allyria is going to marry this man....... No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. And you can't just say sothing like that out of the blue. ....... Dad, I'm actually carrying her baby. What? I won't allow it! I won't allow it! What have you done to my daughter? Linos, if Allyria is happy, that's all that matters. Rico, what are you talking ...... about? Did i, Sadie, Soleil, and Mato know about ......? What? Since when? Since the beginning of our relationship? You've been dating for three years now? No way. Seriously? What? Yeah, I'm pretty sure Alyria knitted a scarf two years ago. Was that a prototype? Did you re-knit it after that and give it to the Dragon King? Seriously, ...... I was the only one who didn't k
Listen to ....... I'm ....... ......Hey, listen to !
Suddenly I hear the Dragon King exclaim. Oh, I just had a bad thought. I'll never forgive you, Dragon King!
"What, you? You can't kill ! If you dare to challenge , co!"
He tries to get the Holy Sword from the infinite storage, but it doesn't co out. Oh, I left it with May. I can't slice the Dragon King's scales without it. ...... I can't help it. Not today.
What? Are you coming? ...... What a handful you are! Do sothing about it, quick!"
"Do sothing about what?"
"I've been telling you for a while now! That dragon is not with you! I can help you, but you are in charge, are you not? Isn't it your place to help?"
"What the hell are you talking about ......, huh?"
When I looked where the Dragon King was pointing, I saw so figures moving. It was coming toward us slowly, as if it was creeping.
As we get closer, we see it is a boy. His face is swollen. He has been hit very badly.
"Hey, what's wrong, buddy, are you okay?"
We'll take good care of him. You can't ......."
With that, he leaped into the sky. I click my tongue at the Dragon King and call out to the boy in front of .
"U...... u...... mi...... c...... c......"
"Get a grip!"
I took the boy by the shoulders and ran toward the mansion.
I took the boy by the arm and ran toward the house.
"......"
No one could speak at the sight. Only one person, Ferris, kept staring at the scene in front of him with a furrowed brow.
Piles and piles of fried chicken, salad, and bread....... They are disappearing in no ti at all. Moreover, the soup prepared in a small bowl is disappearing at the sa speed as if they were drinking water.
When I took the boy back to the house and cast a recovery spell on him, he imdiately regained consciousness, stood up, found the dishes in front of him, and popped them into his mouth as if possessed by sothing.
The boy eats everything with his hands. He easily lifts a large crock pot to his mouth. And in no ti at all, all the food on the table is gone.
"Phew. ....... I'm settled."
You are about to ...... speak to him when the boy looks around at us with an apologetic expression on his face and opens his mouth.
"Excuse ,...... another drink?"
"That's enough!"
Ferris is furious with her. The children are scared to death by her anger.
"Ferris, calm down!
But...
In the anti, who is this?
""What?""
Ferris and the boy are humming to each other, and they have the sa expression on their faces. What is going on?
"Don't you have that ...... rember ......?"
The boy has tears in his eyes. I scratch my cheeks and try to rember.
"I'm ...... Lars."
"What? Lars? Are you Lars?
"Yes, ......."
"Well, it's been a long ti."
"Um, ......, you just noticed that?"
"Oh, no, I an ....... No, you look more like a boy than when I saw you before, so I didn't recognize you for a mont. Hahahaha ......"
Lars is staring at with a glazed look in his eyes. I cough and talk to him again.
"So, what are you doing here?"
"What are you doing here? ...... I've finished molting, so I thought I'd take care of you. ......"
"Ah."
I look up to the sky. I seem to rember making such a promise.
"You said not now."
Ferris approaches Lars, folding his arms.
I'm busy right now. You heard that the Black Dragon made a mistake on his promise, didn't you? It's that ti of year. ......"
"The Dragon King said earlier that he would take care of that, right?"
"Even so, Master Linos is very busy right now. He doesn't have ti to take care of you! So go back to the mountain! You could still be in the mountains! Either that or go sowhere else!"
"Oh no ...... sister ......."
"d*mn ...... how can you get this far after all the beatings you've been through? ...... You're just as strong as you are!"
As I watched their exchange, I turned my attention to my wives, starting with Riko. i and Soleil look like they don't have a choice. Matocal looks at like I can do whatever I want. Sadie puts her index finger under her chin. Is he guessing sothing? And Rico watches Lars closely.
"May I have a word with you?"
Suddenly Rico opens his mouth. Everyone looks at her.
"Mr. Lars, we would be happy to have you in our ho. But you will always be expected to do so kind of work in our ho. Is there sothing you are good at?"
"What ...... are you good at?"
"For example, your sister, Ferris, has shown great ability in checking docunts. Luara does ntal arithtic ....... She can do anything. Whether it's math or cooking,...... what are you good at?"
"Uh, ......."
A heavy silence falls. As if that were aningless, Rico opens his mouth.
"I have a problem for you. A certain pasture has a certain amount of grass growing every day. Now, if we release 20 cows into this pasture, they will eat up all the grass in 10 days, and if we release 15 cows, they will eat up all the grass in 15 days. Then, if we release 35 cows, how many days will it take them to eat all the grass?
"......"
Lars is looking up to the heavens and thinking, but he can't seem to co up with an answer.
"Rico-sama!"
Sadly, Sadie, perhaps unable to see this, calls out to him.
"I'm sure you'll be fine. I don't have any proof, but I think he will have a better future if he stays in this house.
"...... I see. If Sadie says so."
Rico and Sidie nodded as they looked at each other. Rico then looks at i and the whole family. They all nod. When she sees that, she turns to .
"I think that's a good idea."
"That ans ......, Lars. But as Rico said earlier, we don't eat what we don't work for. You'll have to do so work, won't you?"
"...... Hi! Thank you!"
He replied cheerfully and bowed politely.
That night Lars decided to sleep in Ferris' room and we went to our bedrooms.
I take a bath with Rico and the kids.
"Whew! Anyway, Rico, why did you give Lars such a problem?"
I took the kids out of the bathtub, and while we were soaking in the bathtub, I talked to Riko.
"You were eating with your hands, weren't you? I thought I needed to educate you in various ways. First of all, I wanted to know how good your basic academic skills are. If you have a certain level of academic ability, you can help Ferris and Luara, right?"
"I see."
"It's just that ...... seems a little difficult to help you both. I think it would be good for him to experience things and find out what he can do."
"I see. ....... I was sure Rico was going to say no."
"Hmph. Actually, I wasn't sure what to do at first.
"Then why?"
"It's the sa as the answer to your question."
The answer?
Well, five days.
