Chapter 344

Family

Now then, what do we do next?

Temple~?

Temple? Right~ Since we are going to stay in the Capital for a while, we might as well go say hi.

Yeah, lets go!

With the suggestion of Allen and Elena, we came to the temple.

(Syl~)

(Tak.u.mi-san! Youve come!)

When I called out to Syl, his happy voice immediately came back to me.

(The kids suggested me to come.)

(What good children they are!)

(Right! They are such good children!)

(You have become a splendid example of overly doting big brother, havent you~)

(Haha, that might be true. But, the two really are good children, you know?)

Allen and Elena are cute and smart. I dont think Im being bias, I think its an accurate a.s.sessment.

If I remember correctly, the myth is that Syl and the other four G.o.ds were created by the Creator G.o.d Marianora-sama.

(From a human point of view, yes. Marianora-sama is the parent, and we are her children, so Windell, Salamanteel, Nomoodle and I are siblings. But theres no such thing as whos the eldest or anything like that.)

I guess its okay to think of them as quadruplets.

(Then Allen and Elena are Syls niece and nephew.)

(Speaking of which, yes! Haha! So then that means Tak.u.mi-san is my nephew, too!)

(No, how come?)

(My nephew and nieces big brother is also my nephew, right?)

(No, you dont have to force the relations.h.i.+p there, do you? Im your retainer, Syl.)

(I would rather you be my nephew than my retainer!)

( I see.)

I dont know which is better, but as long as Syl is happy with it, why not?

(Well, you sounded jealous there, do you and your brothers not get along?)

(No, its not that we dont get along, its just that theres a lot of work and not much interaction.)

(Heh~ Is t hat so~)

(Huh?)

Thanks to me? Ah!

(The food!)

(Thats right. There are more opportunities to have tea or a meal together.)

(Hahaha~ Erm, Im happy for you is alright to say, right?)

(Yes. Sometimes we have a fight over it, but its a fun time. Thank you, Tak.u.mi-san.)

All is good as long as he is happy to deepen his relations.h.i.+p with them, I guess?

No, but, fighting over food doesnt sound too good, but I guess its not that bad as long as they are enjoying themselves?

(Well, Im glad to be able to create opportunities for you. Speaking of which, whats your next request? I will ask you now, has it been decided?)

(If I say its been decided, then its been decided, but)

I have told Syl that I will listen to his request for what he wants to eat at least once a month.

The last time he requested meat buns when I was in the Rubia. And after that, when I was in the country of Serdik, I sent him a pound cake, but that was not a specific request.

Since we were just having a conversation, I thought I would ask him directly rather than be informed later by a letter or something, but for some reason Syl was having a hard time speaking out.

(What is it? Whats up?)

(Something I havent made yet? What is it? Anyway, just tell me. If I think I can make it, I will make it. If not, I will have to say no.)

(Marianora-sama wants to eat something called Ichigo Daif.u.ku. Tak.u.mi-san, do you know what that is?)

( I see.)

Ichigo Daif.u.ku. I have never made it before, thats for sure.

The ingredients are Ichi, red bean paste, and mochi. Ah, the mochi used in Daif.u.ku is not just ordinary mochi, it adds sweetness, doesnt it? However, I should have no problem with ingredients.

(I think I should be able to make it)

(Really!?)

(Yeah, as long as you dont mind the shape being a little distorted.)

(Thats not an issue at all! If its okay, I would like to request that!)

(Alright. I will make it when I am free.)

(Thank you very much! Im looking forward to it!)

I think the kids will like the Ichigo Daif.u.ku as well, so I will make it as soon as I have time.

(Okay, Id better get going.)

(Yes, its going to get colder, so please take care of yourself.)

(No, no, body is startlingly healthy, I dont think I can catch a cold or anything!)

(You are going back there, I see. Well, but I will take care.)

(Yes! Well, please come see me again.)

(Yeah, I got it.)

As I finished my conversation with Syl, the children who had been waiting for me on the chairs came running up to me happily, as if they had guessed that I was done.

Done~?

Yeah, Im done. Have you gotten tired of waiting?

Is fine!

I see. But, thank you for waiting.

Yeah!

As I thought, my kids are really good children.

Where should we go next?

Lets go to the Guild!

By guild, you mean the Adventurers Guild? Well, Im not sure if we will be able to meet them, but lets go see Andy-san and Keimi-san?

Yeah!

We decided to go to the Adventurers Guild next.
