Chapter 15 New Home

Where have you been living until now noja?

In the tree holes

Hohou. Werent you leading a practitioner-like life. I also lived in the tree holes long time ago

Thats because you are an elf is what I thought.

I will pass on the tsukkomi.

Because I just got a master with much effort.

Then, you should stay with me. There are room availablenou. This house is uselessly spaciousja

Yes. I will be bothering you

Since you have became my disciple, theres no need to be so reserved. Use my house as if it was yourno ja. I usually am locked up in the laboratory anywaynou. That reminds me, have you eaten something?

I had an Earth Dog and Nirvana Flower

Nirvana drinker, huh Im the sameja. I got addicted when I first ate it in order to gain the Poison Resistancenou. To that sweetness

Certainly, that fruity taste

Right, thats right. Im growing vegetables here so theres no need to worry about foodja. I have no Earth Dog meat, though, Im eating Cypherna

Cypher?

What is that? A monster or something?

Judging from the name, rhino-like fellows?

El Jiisan, what is this Cypher?

Sligthly stronger version of Earth Dog. Since you defeated a leader, you should be able to hunt them on your own soonja

Hoou.

Then, lets make the target of my hunting the Cypher for the time being?

You can use the prepared guest room. Its the door with number 3. Im quite drowsy today, so lets start the practice tomorrow. Well then

El Jissan leaves the room.

Now then, now then.

Since it has been decided that I will move in here, I need to fetch my belongings from the tree hole.

Although its just bones, meat and Earth Berry.

In other words, only food and bones.

Ah.

There also was the mountain of model guns.

When I leave El Jiisans house in order to fetch my belongings, I remember something.

Which reminds me I havent appraised El Jissans house yet.

Others: Sages hiding place

Description: Former hero party member lives here.

O, ouu.

Appraisal-san.

You did it.

You gave me personal information.

Is this something like a nameplate?

Wanwan

Oh.

Earth Dog with wagging tail is waiting outside.

Pikoon!

A sound comes from the item box.

I take out the source of the sound, its the Monster picture book.

Its full of pure white pages, but

It seems thatEarth Dogsentry has been added.

Houhou.

So he meant this by the automatic recording.

Wanwan

Wait, wait

Sa

I mount the Earth Dog.

Take me to my house. Go home

Wanwan

The dog starts running.

We arrive at my home, I enter the tree hole, and put the meat and bones into the item box.

It seems that Im far from exceeding its capacity even after putting quite a lot inside.

Poi Poi Poi

Putting the items inside became somewhat enjoyable.

Poi Poi Poi

I put in one after another.

Poi Poi Poi

I continue filling the item box.

Yosh!

Storing completed.

Theres still a lot of unused space in the item box.

This is amazing.

This item.

Wanwan

Oh.

The Earth Dogs is calling me.

I have gotten quite attached to it, but I need to mark it somehow to distinguish it from the other dogs

Right!

Lets practice then.

I take out bones and meat from the item box.

I extract blood from the meat with my fangs.

I touch the blood and bones with my hands.

I imagine a certain something in my mind.

Blood Bone Alchemy!

Powan

What appeared in front of me is a collar.

I attach it to the dog.

With this, it will be much easier to distinguish.

Wanwan

Oou.

The dog seems pleased.

Right~

I have attached a collar, maybe I should name it.

Because its Earth Dog

Would Ado be alright?1

Ado! From today, your name will be Ado

Wanwan Wanwan

It looks like it understands.

Ado seems to be pleased.

Ados intelligence may be quite high.

Then, lets return to El Jiisans house.

Sa

I get on Ados back and we set off.

Sa Sa Sa Sa

The breeze feels nice.
