Chapter 742 – Ep.740 Demon Continent
“Whoa~!!”
[Are you okay? ]
Rita asked carefully, holding the empty water bottle, and I nodded, wiping the water that flowed from the corner of my mouth with my sleeve. And while watching me coughing, I bowed my head slightly towards the person who willingly handed me the water bottle.
“Thank you.”
“Gwae, it’s okay!! “Don’t bow your head!!”
It was more of a greeting than a bow, but since he was waving his hands around and shouting, I stiffened up my slightly relaxed neck again.
“Rita.”
[Take it. ]
“…”
The red-skinned demon who received the water bottle back from Rita looked sideways for a moment, then turned around and ran away as if running away.
“Let’s go too.”
[ … Are you sure you’re okay? ]
“Are you okay. “It’s because I can’t swallow my saliva well.”
I smiled as naturally as I could at Rita, who asked again, and held her hand.
[If you feel unwell at all, please let us know immediately. ]
“Okay, okay.”
There was little change in her expression, but I could sense the worry in her eyes, so I felt sorry and smiled even more playfully to comfort Rita.
[ … What would it feel like if you had to raise a child? ]
“Uh, well, isn’t it… Huh?”
Even though I thought it would be much better for my mental health to take care of Winter than to take care of myself, I couldn’t say anything positive.
[ … But. It will take less work for you than for your child. ]
“Well, ha, haha.”
It was a denial in a different sense, but I figured that nothing would really change if I cleared up the misunderstanding, so I just smiled and nodded, and we walked back to Kuriri and Kuroro’s room.
**
“Illusion!!”
“Oh, come on, come…” …”
When I opened the door and went in, Kuriri and Kuroro, who had been waiting for us like yesterday, came running and greeted me warmly.
Of course, when I noticed Rita standing behind me, I didn’t directly cling to her, but just calmly knelt down on the floor and her eyes sparkled.
I took off my shoes, went inside, and gently patted the heads of the two people kneeling in front of the door.
“Ugh~”
Hehe…”
I was just stroking his head, but seeing him smile so brightly as if he owned the world made me feel good too.
“Ah!! Rice! Rice!”
Kuriri, who was melting under my touch, was shocked, her eyes flashed, and she shouted at me.
“Rice?”
“Huh!!”
When I asked again, Kuriri nodded her head eagerly and pointed toward the kitchen.
“Uh, food… Preparation… Let’s eat together… ?”
And Kuroro, who remembered a little more words than Kuriri, appeared timid but wriggled her hands and tried hard to make me understand Kuriri’s words.
“Thank you.”
“Eat!!”
“Well, over there…” …”
I didn’t have an appetite because of the Hell Cow meat I ate for breakfast, but when I came to my senses by the two of them sharing my hand and timidly squeezing it, I found myself sitting in front of the kitchen table.
‘Surprisingly, you eat it in a balanced way.’
Unlike our wives, who overwhelmingly prefer meat, the table prepared by the two of us had a salty-smelling braised meat dish and a salad mixed with sauce mixed with various fruits that looked as fresh as if they had just been picked.
The problem is…
“Use it, gulp.”
“…”
I left the table intact, put down their plates on the floor, sat down, and wiped my face as they stared at me intently.
‘It’s not that my habits are getting worse, but I really need to fix this even if it’s just because I’m uncomfortable.’
First of all, the sight of a puppy drooling over food without its owner’s permission was both cute and pitiful, so I quickly took a piece of meat that roughly looked like fermented soybean paste with a fork and put it in my mouth.
‘It really tastes like soybean paste?’
No more, no less, I was amazed by the taste of soybean paste that I had probably tried at least once at home, and I slowly emptied my plate while watching them eat the meat and salad together with their forks.
“Puh-ha~”
“Yes…”
Kuroro, who was not much different from Kuriri when eating, only showed his usual timid appearance again after he was full.
“Organize!!”
“Uh, uh, now, wait…”
When the meal was over, Kuriri took her empty dishes and headed towards what looked like a sink, and Kuroro kissed her lips before going a little further inside.
‘Now that I think about it, how can I solve the dishwashing problem here?’
Not just anyone else, but the Third Sister, the ruler of the Demon Continent, herself said that there was a shortage of water.
In that sense, I watch how the used dishes are disposed of.
“Heungheung~”
Kuriri twitched her attractive buttocks from side to side and opened a small box placed on top of what appeared to be a sink. Then she put the bowl in it and closed the lid again.
1, 2, 3… 5.
When exactly 5 seconds had passed, Kuriri opened the lid again, and the bowl that came out of it was shining so brightly that my face was clearly visible.
‘… There is a saying that highly developed science is indistinguishable from magic, but in my opinion, magic is just a landslide winner.’
While I was admiring the level of magic tools on the Demon Continent that were more developed than I thought, Kuroro, who had disappeared inside, returned with a water bottle and held it out to me.
“Thank you.”
When I was handed a water bottle with a moderately lukewarm temperature, I didn’t drink it right away and asked Rita.
“How is drinking water being supplied?”
[ Each residential area has a water pipe, and drinking water is supplied through that water pipe according to the number of people. ]
“So this is the responsibility of those two?”
[I’ll take action separately later, so don’t drink it first. ]
Thanks to Rita’s quick response, I was able to put my mouth to the spout of the water bottle.
Fluffy.
Although it may look like I drank a lot from the outside, I only slightly opened my lips to quench my thirst and returned the water bottle to Kuroro.
No, I was going to return it.
“Rita?”
[ Yes. Nobleman. ]
I blinked as he snatched the water bottle from my hand and answered calmly.
“What should I do with the water bottle?”
[I didn’t really mean to covet it. ]
Sigh.
A soft blue light sparkled in Rita’s hand, and when the light disappeared, Rita held out her water bottle to Kuroro again as if nothing had happened.
“…”
[ … ]
And for the first time, Kuroro glared at Rita.
“Uh, uhm…”
Of course, she quickly lowered her eyes and politely took the water bottle.
Anyway, the meal is over.
“Then shall we change seats?”
**
With Rita as her interpreter, she began teaching the two to read for two hours.
Crunchy.
Kuriri and Kuroro showed more motivation than I expected, and they are still diligently scribbling their names and mine using a pen I don’t know when they got it.
“… “You learn so quickly.”
[Compared to magic techniques, language is very easy. ]
“If you say that, there’s nothing more to say.”
I was looking at Kuriri and Kuroro with happy eyes and scratched my head at Rita’s answer.
‘We are a race blessed with magical power, so there is no way we can be stupid.’
Unless you are unusual like me, in order to use magic power and manifest magic with that magic power, you had to be able to perform complex spells in your head.
Of course, this was also one of the pieces of information learned through the archive.
‘There are a lot of things to find out.’
What exactly is the curse given by those called God, and what exactly does the word ‘Emperor’ I heard on the street mean…
“Mr. Smith!!”
“I wrote everything… Yo. This…”
I came to my senses from the contrasting calls of the two, energetic and slightly exhausted, and stroked their heads, looking over the names written neatly and neatly.
“Praise, I like it!!”
“Me, no, me too… Good… Yo. This…”
The number of words taught in 2 hours was quite high, but those two were the most important.
“I like you Smith!!”
“Joe, okay…”
I learned and learned my name and ‘I like you’ especially quickly.
For reference, I originally learned ‘I love you’ first, but after experiencing Rita’s life once, I started using ‘I like you’ instead of ‘I love you’.
‘I think we’ll be able to exchange simple conversations in a week.’
I just looked down at the two with happy eyes and patted their heads a little more.
Anyway, there are limits to what I can do as long as Rita is by my side.
“Then what should I teach you now?”
[First of all, I think it would be a good idea to clearly educate people about respect. ]
“Let’s leave that alone for a little while longer.”
Because it’s quite cute when Kuroro stutters her words and adds ‘yo’ at the end.
Of course, if I told this reason honestly, it was obvious that Rita’s sharp gaze towards the two would become even sharper, so I tried to ignore Rita’s gaze asking for the reason.
[Phew, I will follow your wishes. ]
“Thank you.”
[ Then… ]
This time, Rita, bending to my will, suddenly closed her mouth without continuing her words.
But that lasts only a moment.
[Nobility. ]
“Why? “I have a problem with my tolerance again?”
I asked Rita, hoping that an unexpected opportunity had come to her, but she simply shook her head and opened her mouth.
[The first female is said to have arrived. ]
