Everyday Life when Strea-san Comes to Visit
Half a year has already passed since I graduated from the academy.
My daily routine of teaching Sylvie how to handle light magic was successful, and she was able to use [Recovery Magic] to a great extent. Now, I'm also teaching her how to use [Light magic].
Sylvie has also gotten used to me and recently started calling me [daddy].
A father...
I was confused and asked her why she called me daddy, and she said, [Because Mama calls you Danna-sama]. Well... it means that she got used to me... Yeah. Let's give up...
My daily routine of releasing mana in the [Demon Forest] had changed to pouring mana into Midori-chan.
"Ah~ Good~ ♡ It feels so good~ ♡"
She's trying to induce my feelings by raising some kind of deliberate voice, but it doesn't resonate with me...... To be honest, I'm still not ready to say I'm going to hold this higher being.
In addition to helping the dark elves with their farm work, Midori-chan started teaching me how to be an [Apothecary].
By reaching the level of [Intermediate Apothecary], the effects of the medicines and potions I make have increased, and my work efficiency has also increased, but Midori-chan, who was watching this, began to talk to me about various things, so she started giving me instructions.
"Listen. This looks like a weed at first glance, but it's actually a subspecies of mandragora. If you extract it under special conditions, you can get the same efficacy as mandragora."
Occasionally, she would bring out the actual item and explain each item carefully, so I learned a lot. Thanks to that, my [Intermediate Apothecary] skill has improved a little.
The effects of Midori-chan's guidance were felt in other ways as well.
That's because [Alchemy] has reached the intermediate level. The skill of [Intermediate Alchemy] is amazing. Surprisingly, it became possible to create simple things using only alchemy. Medicines, potions, and weapons can be made as easily as playing with clay.
However, all of the finished products are of low quality and cannot compete with officially made products, but this is a big improvement. I was excited to think that as the level increases in the future, the quality and the things I can do will increase.
Well, something interesting happened in the last six months.
A child was born in the dark elf village. The dark elves become crazy because all three pregnant women, including the human Erina, gave birth safely.
Every time a child is born, it becomes a festival, and when the family participates, they begin to worship me. So for some reason, I'm the only one who can't feel the festive mood...
However, I am grateful that I can hold the child first. It's strange because when I hold the child, I feel strangely tender.
When I saw my family taking turns holding the baby, I thought that I too wanted to have a child with my family.
That's because the expressions on the faces of the women holding the children were so motherly and wonderful.
But I'm a Demon King... I have a constitution that makes it difficult for me to have children, so at this moment, I felt a bit of a grudge against Evil God-san.
After relaxing for a while, I received a message from Shamu, who had returned from the royal capital.
Shamu has been a little busy lately.
Occasionally, she would ask me a favor and go out to the royal capital. It seems that there has been some strange movement in the empire lately, and the succubi are looking into it. I warned her not to do anything dangerous, but Shamu kept a serious expression on her face and did not nod.
Shamu's message was that Strea-san was coming to visit us.
When I heard Strea-san's name, I remembered that it had been half a year since I graduated from the academy. And for a moment, my blood turned cold...
Ah... I haven't trained for advanced magic...
After graduating from the academy, I realized that I had been busy with work and neglected training, and I was panicking.
At that time……
"Not good! Strea-sama has collapsed, bubbling over!"
Sill rushed into the mansion in a panic.
When I hurried to the dark elf village, I found Strea-san lying in the village chief's house. According to the village chief, he had come to see the faces of the dark elves before meeting me, but it seems that he collapsed as soon as he saw Midori-chan.
For the time being, I cast [Healing] on Strea-san, which has the effect of soothing the feelings, and woke him up.
"Strea-san. Are you okay?"
"Ah... yeah... Light-kun... you brought an incredible person to the dungeon again..."
Strea-san got up, looked at me, and said that, although he was a little dazed.
"I never thought there would be a Dragon King…"
When I told him why Midori-chan was here, Strea-san was a little taken aback, but he understood.
"As expected, you are a man loved by God. I never thought you would be loved by the God who created the heavens and earth of this world..."
"Eh? Do you know the legend of the Dragon Kings, Strea-san?"
"The story of the creation period is famous in the demon territory and among long-lived species. It's a story often told by elders as a fairy tale. However, it is a story that has not been passed down to humans or the demons of the West."
Ah, I see. It seems like neither Lida nor Shamu knew about it, so maybe that's why it didn't ring a bell for them.
After that, I introduced Midori-chan to Strea-san again, but Strea-san was adamant. It was the first time I had seen him like that, so I couldn't help but smile wryly.
Strea-san looked at the dark elf children who were born with a broken face.
"Well, seriously, Light-kun, you're different. It's been hundreds of years since I've seen a child of the same race... I knew my eyes were not mad!"
When I led him to the mansion and we were having tea, Strea-san started saying such things. I don't remember doing anything, though...
"I'm sorry, Light-kun, I asked you to take care of my own people."
I nodded in response. In any case, I have to find two more elf tribes, and It is only natural, since the dark elves have been a great help to us daily.
While having tea, Strea-san asked me about the progress of my advanced magic, and I got troubled, but when I told him the truth, he laughed and forgave me.
"Hahaha. There's nothing to worry about. You just need to learn at your own pace."
That's what I was told, but as an older brother, I didn't understand why Rain was ahead of me, so after tea, I immediately had Strea-san teach me how to use advanced magic.
In this way, I took time off from work for the past three days that Strea-san was staying and practiced advanced magic.
