Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children While Being an Adventurer~ Chapter 38

Because we are not traveling in a hurry, I have decided to go in the Gaya Forest to exercise.

Joule covers the dead bodies around with ice magic《Freeze》into one large lump of ice. Feat uses the wind magic《Float》to make the lump of ice fly and brings it to my side.

When they were fighting at close range, I had no choice but to clean them with my《Washing》.

…… It’s just, those fellows won’t get satisfied unless they can lick after each battle…… Well, it makes Allen and Elena happy so…… oh well?

We loiter around the forest and hunt.

When a monster is found, all members charge, defeat the monster, bring it to me, get patted by me.

Once in a while, Bolt would《Thunderbolt》a monster from the sky the moment he finds it. When that happens, the two children and the other two animals look really vexed.

「Uwa!!」

When they are feeling down because they couldn’t get praised, I pat them with the intention of consoling, and they jump into action again.
You guys, calm down a bit~

As the area became dark, I have decided to leave Gaya Forest for the camp.

When the camping site is decided, we have the dinner next.

「Allen, Elena. What would you like to eat?」
「「N……… Cream!」」

Because both Allen and Elena love Cream bread, it frequently ends up as their snack of choice.
But, making Cream bread as a dinner menu is a bit…… I would like them to choose something more nutritious.

「N~ Allen, Elena. Cream bread is not good for a dinner…… How about having it tomorrow as breakfast snack?」

「Let’s see…… How about Oyakodon1? The one with an egg on rice」

「It’s decided then」

Although it felt like I have incited them, because the two obediently accepted the compromise plan, Oyakodon has been chosen for the dinner.

「Joule, Feat, and Bolt want meat, right? Raw?」

「N? No? Grilled is better?」

「I see. Joule wants it grilled. Does Feat also prefer it grilled?」

「What about Bolt?」
『Piiii』

The Contracted beast fundamentally don’t require feeding. Apparently, when Contracted beasts are supplemented with magical power while in their master’s shadow which restores their energy.

Because of that, I have asked them what they want to eat, but it seems my Contracted beasts like grilled meat better than raw……

Grilled meat tastes better. Looks like they have the same opinion as people.

Grilled meat or Oyakodon, which is better? When asked, all three choose the latter. It seems the same menu as ours is better.

Aren’t spring onions bad for felines? Is what I thought, but since there seems to be no problem, I cook the onions and guineafowl with soy sauce and finish it up with half boiled egg.

「Well then, itadakimasu」
「「Itadakima~shu」」『Waffu』『Gau』『Pii』

Un, delicious!

Allen and Elena also eat while stuffing their mouths with spoons with utmost effort.

Apparently, they can enjoy the taste more while in their small forms.
Well, if they eat in their adult forms, they would eat it in two or three bites after all.

「「Joule」」
『Waffu』

When it was time to sleep, Joule’s stomach became a substitute of the cushion for the three of us. Joule’s fur is soft and comfy……

I thought it was bad to treat them as cushions at first, but rather it was the other way around.

Because it doesn’t look like I have to hold back, I lean against Joule while asking Feat and Bolt to stand guard.
That being said, Feat and Bolt are in a resting postures next to us. Every single of my children is sensitive to presences after all. There won’t be any problems.

Ah, the moons…

Which reminds me, this is my first time camping in a place where the sky is clearly visible. Sky can’t be seen from within Gaya Forest, then there was the dungeon.

Gazing at several moons, I realize again that this is a different world.

So many things happened so fast… I fall asleep while thinking such.

I have decided to go to Gaya Forest the next day too.

We are gathering medicinal plants today.

「There~」

「There really are many……」

Ah~ Demon Spirit Grass.

Because Gaya Forest itself is a place full of magic, does it grow densely here?
And to find a place where they grow en masse at that……

『Waffu』

This time, Joule seem to have found something.
It’s a Soul Grass…… quite a rare medicinal plant again…… I’m sure it’s used as nostrum.

『Gau』

The next one is Feat, huh. This is Touka Grass.

Nose? Did Feat find it by smell?

『Pii』

Ah, Bolt has found Minsu fruit.

There seem to be quite a lot on the tree. Bolt drops it with his beak, and I catch it when it falls.
Nevertheless, aren’t we finding quite a lot rare things in high demands?

「「Ah!」」

Allen and Elena seem to have found something again as they run towards a tree.
Now then, what did they find this time?

Moving while sufficiently playing along the way, we finally saw a sea a week later after leaving Shirin.
It can be said we moved at quite a high pace to arrive in just a week.

「Allen, Elena, that is the sea」
「「Sea~ Big~」」

Allen and Elena gaze at the sea with sparkling eyes.

「「Water, a lot~」」

「「Delish~?」」

「「Ye~s」」

I had to say it because they would drink the water as soon as arriving at the beach. Like this, they won’t probably drink it.

We immediately stepped onto the beach.

While Allen and Elena are playing at the water’s edge―――

「That… may I ask if you are Takumi-sama?」
「…… You are?」

Suddenly, I was spoken to by a woman who emerged from the sea.
Umm… why do you know my name?

「I’m Mirena of the mermaid race」

Haa!? Say what!?
