Dropped Into Another World V3C50

Chapter 50 – I Want to Eat Slowly

I went to see the Cerberus egg. It has become part of my morning routine.

It still seems to be slowly absorbing the power from the magic stone.

I turned my gaze to a nearby shelf and saw that one of the magic stones was missing.

「So one piece will last for two days?」

I look at the egg.

I can’t find anything different.

The Cerberus inside, compared to yesterday, it’s more…..nothing, no change at all.

I wonder if it’s working or not.

The word “failure” comes to my mind but I hastily shake it off.

Let’s believe it’s going to be okay.

「By the way, where’s the used magic stone?」

I look at the shelf to check where the first magic stone with darkness magic power is but I can’t find it.

There’s no other magic stone around the crib either.

So, where was it?

「Good morning your lordship, what’s wrong?」

Flying Lizard asked me.

「Good morning. Have you seen the first magic stone that contains darkness magic power? This is already the second one, right?」

I point to the magic stone beside the Cerberus egg.

Flying Lizard nodded.

「The first magic stone was enveloped in a white light and then burst and disappeared. Probably because it already ran out of darkness magic power.」

It burst and disappeared?

「Were you hurt?」

Given how Flying Lizard is saying it, he must have been watching the whole situation.

If he is nearby, would he have been injured by the shrapnel?

I ran my eyes over Flying Lizard’s entire body.

There’s not a single scratch on its scales.

「I’m protected by your lordship’s barrier so there’s no way I could have been injured.」

I feel like I was a little stunned but since he didn’t get hurt, it’s fine.

「Ah, yeah, I’ve sent a message to Goddess Aion via Rope so I think she’ll be here soon.」

Flying Lizard snorted after hearing what I said.

The atmosphere sent a shiver down my spine.

「I have to talk to her so don’t go overboard.」

「It will be fine. Greater gods are very strong.」

I guess so.

She’s been attacked by Flying Lizard and Fluffy but she just walked normally.

Speaking of which, I’ve never seen her get injured.

…..no, I’ve seen her cheeks get red once.

That was when she was chased by the farming corps who got angry at her for causing damage to the field….

At that time, I was so scared since they made her sit down on a chair as she started muttering something.

After that, she left without saying anything.

I was so worried because I thought it was strange but the next time she came back, she was back to normal so I forgot all about it.

「Good morning.」

I heard Usa’s voice and looked up to see Kuuhi and Usa coming into the living room.

「Good morning. Is Hikari still there?」

「He’ll be here soon.」

Usa, Kuuhi, and Hikari sometimes participate in morning special training.

They wanted to participate every day but were stopped by the one eyes because they are still growing.

In addition…..what was it?

I forgot.

However, they said it was for the sake of the three of them so I left it all to the one eyes.

After sitting and waiting for a while, Hikari came into the living room.

「Good morning, Hikari.」

I called out to him and he smiled happily.

「Did your training go well?」

He nodded his head repeatedly.

He was more excited than usual when he came into the living room so I guess my guess is correct.

「Good for you.」

Hikari is getting stronger day by day.

At the same time, his expression became brighter and brighter.

We still can’t talk with each other but the day when we can do so may not be far away.

 

As we began to eat, we heard a strange scream coming from the garden.

While chewing a piece of bread, I turned my gaze to it.

I saw Goddess Aion.

It looks like she’s already here.

「What are they doing?」

Usa looks at Goddess Aion curiously.

Kuuhi nods.

「Taiyou is hugging her leg. And it looks like Sakura is doing the same.」

Taiyou and Sakura?

I tried to look at Goddess Aion’s legs but the table on the wood deck was blocking the view.

I get up from my chair and look at Goddess Aion.

Indeed, Taiyou and Sakura are hugging each of her legs.

It will be hard for her to walk.

「Are they playing?」

Hearing Usa’s question, Hikari started thinking.

Then, he writes something on a piece of paper on the table.

Looking at it, it says “They were playing heroes”.

「Playing heroes? So, does that mean that Goddess Aion is the enemy?」

I see.

Is clinging to her leg some sort of attack?

Clinging attack?

…..is their purpose to limit the enemy’s movement?

I look at Goddess Aion.

It looks like she’s finding it hard to walk but it didn’t exactly stop her.

Does it have any other purpose then?

「By the way, when did Goddess Aion arrive?」

It’s still early in the morning.

The children wake up early and start playing early.

I’m not surprised to see them playing.

However, when did Goddess Aion arrive?

Did she come as soon as she received my message?

「I just got here.」

「You mean now?」

She nodded at Usa’s question.

Usa and the others were training in the garden earlier.

Then, Goddess Aion came and suddenly got appointed as the adversary?

Hikari writes something on a piece of paper again.

『I think she was forced to participate. 』

Usa and Kuuhi looked at the paper and nodded.

I see, force participation.

「Shall we eat slowly then?」

I wanted to invite her to eat but I’m afraid it’s already too late.

I know that I’m the one who asked you to come but please think about the time when you’ll go.

So, let’s ask Taiyou and the others to entertain Goddess Aion for a bit.

 

After enjoying a slow meal, I went out to the wood deck.

I looked out into the garden….. and saw Goddess Aion running away from the children.

「Akira! Stop them!」

I raised one of my hands when Goddess Aion said that.

「Alright, that’s enough」

Ah, did I say the right words?

「I’m tired.」

I look at Goddess Aion who’s sitting on the chair in front of me and see the dark circles under her eyes.

I felt a little bad so I served a cup of tea to her first to relieve her fatigue.

「Thank you for playing with the children.」

I thanked her properly.

「I didn’t know this before because there were never children around me but, children are powerful. They attack one after another and they even surprised me with an attack from above.」

From above?

I looked at the sky above the garden and saw the angels, Momo and Sumire, flying around.

I see, they were the surprised attackers.

…..they are playing heroes, right?

When did they change their game to villain play?

 

Goddess Aion calmed down after drinking the tea brought by a one eye.

I guess it’s time to start talking.

「I have a question for you, are you aware of the Cerberus in the living room?」

Depending on her answer, I have to think about how to deal with Goddess Aion.

「Hnn? I know? Sorry. We haven’t talked about how to deal with it yet.」

Areh?

She’s speaking in a strange tone.

When I stare at Goddess Aion, she stares back at me.

「You knew the cerberus’ existence but, why did you ignore it?」

Goddess Aion showed a surprised expression.

The next moment, she looks at me as if she’s confused.

「Ehto…..what do you mean by I ignored its existence? Didn’t I tell you to wait until it was decided how to deal with it….areh?」

「No, we never talked about the Cerberus before.」

Did I forget?

No, I completely forgot.

I stared at Goddess Aion and she averted her gaze.

But still, she asked me to wait?

I’ve given it darkness magic power but, will there be a problem with what I’ve been doing?

However, if it caused a problem, it should be Goddess Aion’s fault for not telling me, right?

It’s not my fault! Probably.

「It’s all on me because I’m the one who reproduced darkness magic power.」

She’s going to find out soon so I’ll tell her myself now.

「Huh? Darkness magic power? What are you saying?」

Goddess Aion looks more confused now.

Areh?

Isn’t it known that darkness magic power is the power of the demon world?

Could it be that it’s not?

「No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Impossible impossible impossible impossible」

Goddess Aion looked impatient.

I was confused by her reaction.

What’s impossible?
