Chapter.11 The North Forest and Chestnut
Her mother.
Her mother who handed over her rare to Rurin.
But even the mother’s rare was destroyed in the dragon war. Lurin’s eyes lit up as if she was thinking of her mother.
The reason I had Rurin by my side was because I didn’t want to be reminded of the past.
Five beads in my hand.
But what good is it to try to beco stronger now? It is a useless item in retirent.
“If it’s sothing you don’t like, just destroy it.”
“that… hate. I think it’s sothing you need. Didn’t you say you wanted to get involved in dinsional travel? This will raise your mana to a higher level, so maybe sothing can change.”
ah.
Was that there? Why are you so smart at tis like this? Of course, dragons are the ones who know things related to mana and magic better than anyone else.
So it’s definitely as Lurin said. If you increase your mana with this orb, you will have the possibility to use magic that is close to the existence of a god, such as dinsional travel.
Moreover, even if that is not the case, there is a possibility that the scope of use of summoning magic, which is essential for restaurants, will expand. And of course, even though it is not necessary, it will certainly be possible to use stronger attack magic than now.
For example, even if you can only summon one teorite, that is, a giant teorite, you can increase the number.
I looked at Lulin.
There is not an ounce of delusion in her eyes as she looks at .
“But how do I use this? “You probably don’t eat it like a dragon heart.”
“Mom said you should keep it with you and slowly absorb the mana it contains. Just like humans take step by step when learning magic!”
“okay?”
Nod.
Lurin nodded.
“But Lurin. “You said you didn’t like this because it was like an enemy, right?”
“huh.”
“I think we should use it more. Dinsional movent is movent, but it is actually sothing you need more.”
“Are you talking about ? But I don’t like it… … .”
“The real enemy is not this bead, right? They are the ones who did sothing evil because of this. You need beads so you don’t end up like your mother. No, you’ll need this even more if you want to go one step further and lure out your enemies for revenge. To do that, you have to be strong. “You said before that you wanted to remain human, right?”
Nod.
Lulin looked at with intense eyes this ti.
It was impossible to find Lurin’s enemies. Lurin’s mother, who was treated as a disgrace to Black Dragon due to a deep misunderstanding.
However, this bead could have opened the way for revenge.
It was natural that Lulin’s eyes beca more intense when the word “enemy” was ntioned.
“Then even in polymorph form, you should be able to not lose to the dragon. If you want to take revenge, you must beco stronger than you are now. In that sense, let’s beco stronger as a class.”
“but… !”
“We use two each and save one to lure the enemy. Lulin After you beco strong enough to take on other dragons who are your enemies. okay? Because if you lure her into her current state, sothing could go wrong. I don’t want that. If not, are you going to throw it all away?”
“Is it really possible to take revenge? You… You… Are you helping ?”
“Of course that is.”
I stroked Lulin’s head.
Then Lurin quietly wrapped her body around . Lulin’s eyes are very red. But she didn’t shed any tears.
“Then I follow you. Because I followed you from the beginning. “You are my everything.”
Lulin still didn’t cry, but she hugged my waist very strongly.
Of course, I couldn’t get rid of her like that.
We stayed like that for a while.
To be honest, dinsional travel isn’t that important anymore. Rather, life here has beco more important. Of course, I want to co and see my parents at least once.
Still, the most important thing is the present. So, for , if mana is amplified and summoning magic becos stronger, that is enough.
If Rurin and I beco stronger thanks to the beads, we will be able to remove the lump of burden in Rurin’s heart that was unable to follow the traces.
Besides, I die earlier than Lurin. Since I ate a dragon heart, I will live longer than an ordinary human, but there is a limit.
Because I don’t want Lurin, who is left alone, to be bullied by the damn dragon clan again.
Lulin must also beco stronger.
okay.
To be more honest, Lurin is more important than dinsional travel.
***
After making an unexpected discovery, Lurin and I cleaned up the northern forest again with magic and returned to the restaurant. The dragon’s treasure buried inside is not mine.
It belongs to the Gray family. Because it’s buried in the Gray family’s land.
The reason the area was kept secret was probably because an ancestor of the Gray family knew the secret of the dragon. Otherwise, I would have already touched the treasure.
Maybe he was afraid of the consequences if he touched the dragon’s items.
The ancestors of the Gray family, the lords of Gray City for generations, would have known about the existence of the dragon that died in the northern forest.
But there is no regret. I understand the ancestor’s concerns, but this is sothing that the Gray boy can use.
Unless the descendants of the dead dragons appear in the northern forest.
However, according to Lulin, the fact that he died alone without passing on the rare and that he did not return to the Holy Land until the end proved that he was a very lonely dragon.
In that case, there was no way there would be an heir. It was a lone dragon.
That’s exactly what I’m worried about. Lurin does not have to et such a lonely end.
However, Gray Boy is a young man who could beco a good lord. Therefore, for him who is still young, a treasure that is too large can actually be poison.
After gaining a lot of experience and gaining a firm belief as a lord, wouldn’t it be a good idea to let people know about the existence of the treasure and use it for the benefit of the lord?
In that case, it would be better to leave the dragon’s treasure buried in the ground until then.
If the Gray boy grows up to be a proper man, it can be a great help to him.
And as for the Dragon Orb, as expected, mana did not increase overnight.
When I ditate on my bed, I can feel the mana flowing from the beads. I can feel the mana being absorbed little by little.
Lurin and I had been repeating that action every night since we returned to the northern forest.
“Whoa!”
However, Rurin could not last an hour and laid her head on my thigh while I was sitting sedentary.
“It’s hard, girl!”
“It must be difficult. “Thanks to being a Class 9 being from birth, we will never have trained mana like we humans do.”
“Hehe, that’s right. So it’s hard. But since you said we would take revenge together, I will. I’m going to do it, but if it’s hard, it’s hard! And I think I absorb it faster than you! Hehe, this body is a dragon.”
Lurin declared at great length that she had done everything for today, then placed her forehead against my thigh and rubbed it.
“Are you going to sleep?”
“I have enough, so I sleep!”
Well, it’s a dragon, so it’s as she said. The speed at which the dragon absorbs the dragon’s mana is completely different from mine. Lulin didn’t even think about getting off my thighs and just covered herself with the blanket.
“I protect you while you sleep. Hi-Hi.”
“Ugh, it actually helps to stay away, doesn’t it?”
Lulin has no answer. In that state, he wrapped his arms around my waist and started to tease . Lulin’s black hair stuck out from the blanket.
I left her alone and continued my training.
There was definitely a change.
The mana contained in the bead reacted with my heart, which had turned into a dragon’s heart, and created an image.
I have a ntal image that makes feel like I don’t know anything.
If I overco this, will I be able to use one level stronger magic?
Because I don’t have the sa talent as the dragon.
Just like when I first entered this world, I ditated persistently.

The dragon orb was not the only thing brought back from the forest. The original purpose of going to the forest was at night. So, of course, there are chestnuts piled up in the kitchen.
Now that we’ve eaten the roasted chestnuts, it’s ti to make stewed chestnuts. My first favorite chestnut dish is, of course, roasted chestnuts, and the second is stewed chestnuts.
To be honest, those sweet stewed chestnuts are an excellent snack and food in this world where there are no modern snacks.
Even in modern tis where snacks are available, it is a sufficiently competitive food. At least I like it very much.
Moreover, if you make stewed chestnuts like this and store them in a glass jar, you can store them and eat them for a long ti.
Since the quantity is large, I give a bottle to each of the restaurant’s regulars, and my dragon and I eat the rest. That was the plan.
So the kitchen began a long journey to make large quantities of stewed chestnuts.
Of course, it is a bit embarrassing to call it a long journey. I don’t think it will be that difficult.
First, pour freshly picked chestnuts into warm water and soak them for about half a day. This makes it easy to peel chestnuts.
“Rulin, why don’t you co here and help instead of just holding a broom and pretending to work?”
“I worked! It’s a misunderstanding! “It’s a conspiracy!”
“What did you do?”
“I picked up a broom.”
“You picked up a broom? and?”
“I picked up a broom, so didn’t I work?”
“Then since I saw you cooking, I guess I don’t have to eat?”
“Huh! “That’s not it!”
Rurin declared surrender, threw the broom on the front door, and walked into the kitchen. And sits next to .
“What are you doing?”
“Look, I’m holding a knife and peeling the chestnuts like this. “Hold the chestnut tightly with your left hand and insert the sheath into your right hand, as if peeling it off.”
“Is that so?”
“Then a fur-like skin will co out, and there is no need to peel it off.”
If you peel off the outer skin, or the skin of the chestnut, the yellow chestnuts are revealed, but to make stewed chestnuts, it is better to peel off only the outer skin. No, it should be like that.
Otherwise, it will beco soft and you won’t be able to make stewed chestnuts.
“What are you doing here?”
“Shall I say this is a snack you’ll really like?”
“I don’t like it. “This guy is covered in fur.”
“indeed? I’m confident you’ll like it, right? Shall we make a bet?”
“bet?”
Lurin nodded with a confident face at my suggestion.
“good night. “Then if you lose, you’ll be screwed all day long!”
“what?”
Why are you talking about closing the restaurant all day? Of course, there’s no way I’m going to lose, so I’ll take it.
“Then if I win, you have to eat one al. okay?”
“What? I don’t know how to cook! “Eating is my job!”
“So it’s a bet.”
“I guess so. I understand. There’s no way you can lose. Just say it’s not delicious! Hi-Hi.”
You sound like a prince who lives sowhere.
Lulin nodded and started peeling chestnuts.
