Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children While Being an Adventurer~

Request

“”… Guru . ””

Following Allen and Elena, the gryphons who took the children away, swooped down to the ground with a sulky look .

“Guru!”

Then, the biggest gryphon who stood next to me, let out a noise as if scolding them . The scolded two animals hung their heads down .

Is it perhaps the top dog among the gryphons?

Somehow, when I stroked that gryphons neck, it snuggled up to me in a spoiled manner . There was no dignity in its appearances… or did I have just a wrong impression?

“Takumi, it would be best to deal with these ones, too . ”

Kevin-san who maintained his position of… a mere attendant, advised me to deal with the situation as I couldn’t just keep silent . Following his advice, I looked where Kevin-san was looking——

“… Jumping down from that height… that’s ridiculous, isn’t it?”

“Y, Your Highness, just who are these people!?”

Cloud-sama and the Beast Knight young man seemed very confused .

Moreover, it weren’t only those two, other Beast Knights and gryphon caretakers were staring at us from a distance!

“His Highness’ prediction was spot on . It seems you have caught as many ‘fish’ as possible . ”

“It wasn’t my intention whatsoever, though . ”

“Well, it’s just what it means being you, no? Rather than that, how are you going to calm them down?”

“Err… what do you think I should do, Kevin-san?”

“Takumi, just do your best!”

… It appears that cheering me on is as far as he’s willing to help .

“… Allen, Elena, won’t you charge at Cloud-sama for a little? Like you did to Matthias-san and others . ”

“”Got it~””

“… Eh?”

I said it jokingly, but the twins really started charging at Cloud-sama .

Moreover, the gryphons joined them .

I didn’t think they would seriously consider charing (hugging) at Cloud-sama, since Matthias-san and Rebecca-san are people they consider a family, but——

“”Chargeee!””

“Whoah!”

They really charged at Cloud-sama and brought him to the ground .

“”Huh~?””

They were always caught, so they were stunned by the situation that was different from usual .

“Cloud-sama, are you okay!?”

“Are you injured?”

“Oh, I’m fine . ”

“I’m sorry . I am really sorry!”

“No, don’t mind it . I was just taken by a surprise . ”

I quickly lifted up Allen and Elena from Cloud-sama’s body and helped Cloud-sama up .

“”Sorry~””

Wondering whether they did something wrong, Allen and Elena’s expressions looked dejected .

“I’m telling you it’s fine . Don’t make such face at me . ”

Cloud-sama looked at the twins’ faces and patted their heads with a wry smile .

“Sorry about that . I did not have much interaction with children their age, so I did not know what to expect . ”

“… I am truly sorry about this . ”

We were able to return Cloud-sama to sanity, but found ourselves in a different kind of trouble .

“Let’s see~ I will forgive you if you include me in the meal you have promised the kids earlier . ”

“Eh? Meal?”

Struck with an idea, Cloud-sama promptly made a proposal .

Cloud-sama seemed quite panicked at that time, but it seems he was able to grasp my interaction with the children clearly .

“Yeah . The children were having so much fun with the gryphons yet their attitude changed immediately . Is the food you make so tasty?”

“”It’s super delish♪””

“I see . The shaved ice was also great . I’m looking forward to it!”

Seeing the children with big smiles on their faces, Cloud-sama looked at me with expectations .

Well, trading food for our previous disrespect seems a favorable transaction, so I’m fine with it, but don’t set your expectations too high please .

“I don’t mind, but… what do I do then? I was planning on cooking secretly in my room . ”

“You planned on doing it secretly?”

“Oh, I never intended to let the smell linger in the room!”

I was never going to do anything that might cause complaints, but I still wondered if it was a bad idea to try to cook in the room that was lent to us?

Well, Cloud-sama doesn’t seem to be angry, so I guess it’s okay?

“You don’t have to mind the smell, but I will contact the kitchen, so use it to your heart’s content . ”

“Thank you . So, what would you like to eat, Cloud-sama?”

“What the kids want to eat takes priority, doesn’t it?”

“I can make you something else to eat in addition, you know?”

“Honestly, I don’t know what to specify, so I’ll leave it up to the kids . ”

Since he doesn’t know the food I can make, he cannot make a request?

But I suppose he could make a rough request for “meat dish” or “fish dish” or something like that .

“So what do you want to eat then Allen, Elena?”

“”Pudding!””

“… Well, that’s a snack or perhaps a dessert . Choose a meal, a full meal . ”

“”French toast!””

“Oh~ sure, sometimes we eat a French toast for lunch, but wouldn’t that be better left for breakfast? So, please choose something suited for dinner . ”

If it was just us, I wouldn’t mind the French toast, but since Cloud-sama will be eating with us, I would like them to choose something different .

“”… Something we never ate!””

“………… So it came to that . ”

After pondering for a while, the answer Allen and Elena came up with was beyond my expectations .

Instead of choosing from a list of dishes I’ve cooked before, they came up with something I hadn’t cooked yet!

“Alright . I will do my best . ”

“”Yay~””

We have a little more time before it’s time to make dinner, so let’s think about it .

“Takumi, if you can, could you make some for Rain as well?”

“Yes, that’s fine with me . ”

“Okay, that’s good . He will hate me if he finds out I’m the only one who ate good food, so please . ”

I’ll add one more for Rain-sama . Also, Kevin-san’s eyes are appealing to me, although he doesn’t say it, so I’ll add more portion for him . The rest is just—

“Should we invite Austin-sama to join us?”

“Ah~ Rather, would he have to give us his permission first? I will talk to him . ”

“Please do that . ”

We made plans so we decided to stop playing with the gryphons, but we had to appease them first since they did not want to let us go .
