50-Chapter 3-5 Imprint

When I woke up, I tried to give the eggs their magical powers like I was advised to do in my dream.

What am I going to do?

I forgot to ask the key question and stumbled out of the gate.

At any rate, I let the magic flow through me as if I were granting magic.

Oh, it's working!

I don't know if this was the right thing to do, but I think I'm going to keep doing it this way for now.

I just started to dive into the dungeon, but I decided to stop diving for a while and continue to give the eggs a magical boost, so I modified a cloth bag to look like a backpack and carried it on my back and put the eggs in it.

My plan for today is to gather ingredients for baking.

I still had some ingredients left in the bag, but I was a bit nervous about it, so I decided to take this opportunity to buy more.

We couldn't get a good selection at the nearby grocery store, so we asked someone on the street for directions to a nearby big trading company.

The name of the trade association was written as Jay's Trading Company. Somehow it reminded me of a single person, but I didn't care and went inside.

'Welcome. What can I do for you?

The employee who came to deal with the situation told me where to find the ingredients for baking, and where to find the items that could be used for baking, and I selected them.

Once I had a certain amount of ingredients, I looked in the flavoring area and found something.

'Um, what's this?'

I was pointing at something that looked like a dead tree branch.

The employee.

Oh, it's a vanilla branch. Its purpose is to add flavour to liquor.

Then he opened the lid and let me smell it, but it was just vanilla beans.

'I'll have these too, please,'

And I buy as much as I can find in the store.

The scent was less fragrant than the previous one, but the smell of vanilla for a long time made me want to eat ice cream.

So I decided to buy additional tools and ingredients for making ice cream.

When I got back to my room, I tore off a vanilla branch and soaked it in the warm milk.

Other than that, I took the leftover rockbird eggs out of my bag and separated them into yolks and whites.

I still had a few eggs, so I took out two and gave them the same magic as the eggs on my back. It can produce a warmth of By the way, I set the temperature to be about the same as my body temperature. The temperature is lower for chickens, but when I hunted rockbirds before, my body temperature was about that, so I thought lightly that it was just an experiment, so I didn't mind.

After that, it's mostly up to Slarin to pour magic power into it every once in a while and turn the eggs over.

I poured wind-attribute magic power into the rock bird, and alternately poured no-attribute and light-attribute magic power into the eggs on my back.

It's about time for the vanilla scent to transfer to the milk, so I take the vanilla branch out of the milk and start cooking it.

First, I mix the egg yolks with the sugar, milk with vanilla, and melted butter. When the whole mixture starts to get sloppy, sift in the flour and mix some more.

Next, whisk the egg whites to make a meringue. When the mixture is stiff enough to form a corner, mix it in with the one you just made.

Be careful not to overmash the meringue at this point and pour it into the mold.　

Just substitute a metal cup for the mold, butter the inside, and pour the batter into it, then let it air out and bake!

However, we don't have an oven here, so we use a pizza oven that we made ourselves during our trip.

Once the inside of the pizza oven is hot enough to work its magic, all I have to do is pour a cup of dough into it.

All that's left to do is bake it for about 20 minutes.

In the meantime, I get to work on the next one.

Make a meringue by adding sugar to the egg whites.

Next, add honey to the milk and dissolve it, then sift in the flour and baking soda.

Once they are mixed together, mix it with the first meringue. Again, be careful not to mash the meringue.

All that's left to do is butter a metal square box, pour the batter into it, let it air out, and you're ready to go.

The first pastry is about to be baked, so I take it out and skewer it.

All right, the dough is coming together nicely.

I repositioned the cup inside to be sure and baked it for about two minutes, and when I took it out of the kiln, I let it cool a bit and put it away in a bag.

I heated the inside of the kiln again and put a square mold in this time.

This time I baked it while changing the place for about 30 minutes. I let this one cool a little before putting it in the bag.

At that time, I felt an egg move on my back. I hurriedly took a look at it, but it didn't feel like it was being born yet.

However, it is starting to move well, so it must be hatching soon.

Somehow, I went out there.

Oh.

I met eyes with Amy, who was looking at us.

'I'm sorry! Something smelled so good...

When I went outside, I noticed that there was definitely a sweet smell coming from my room.

So I decided to share some of the sweets for myself (which doubled as Shiroumaru's) that I'd kept in my bag with Amy.

I asked her to go up to her room, and as I was preparing the snacks

Mr. Temma! Eggs!

At those words, I looked over the bed and to my surprise, a rockbird egg had hatched.

'Haha! I just started warming it up a few minutes ago!

It was startlingly fast, but there was no point in being surprised when there were two chicks right in front of her.

''At any rate, we need to move the shells out of the way and make a place to sleep.......''

The chicks were no more than about 20 cm in size, so I laid a piece of cloth in a 50 cm box that I had in my bag, for all intents and purposes, and made a bed for them.

'Ah, yes Amy. Do you feel anything when you look at these girls?

'Yes! Very pretty!

I guess I asked the wrong question. I got my mind back on track.

No, I mean, do you feel some sort of magical connection?

I had to nod my head at the question.

I think I feel something warm coming from both birds...

He said that perhaps Amy had the qualities of a tamer.

When I told her about it, Amy was happy to ask her how to sign up, but

You need to talk to your moms first.

I said and hurried back to my house. I took the opportunity to clean up my room (just put the things I'd left in my bag) and wait.

A short time later, Amy brought Carina and Arie to her.

''Do you really think this girl has the talent to be a tamer?''

That's what Karina came to me at the opening. I'm not sure I know Tame well enough to be able to teach him with pride myself, but

If the feeling Amy is feeling is not a misunderstanding, Amy has a talent for taming.

If you feel the same way as I did when I experienced it, then you meet the conditions of Teemu.

The conditions of tame are talent, enough magic power to make a contract, and affinity.

I was taught that when all of these things are met, a demon can be turned into a family member.

Having said that, I'd like to say a few words

I just don't know if Amy will be able to completely control the Rockbird.

It's not clear whether Amy, who has never had any training or control over her magic, will be able to do what she says even by force in a pinch.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what to expect.

''It's just that it's not without possibility.

What do you mean?　

Arie asked on Amy's behalf.

'Do you know what imprinting is?'

It's just that... the geese think the first thing they see is a parent.

Carina replied.

'Yes, you are correct. I just don't know if that imprint will work on Rockbird.'

They look at me as if to say, "Then why?

'What I'm trying to say is that it's more of an imprint on the one who raises Aimee herself now and makes these chicks realize that Aimee is their parent. By feeding, disciplining, and giving them magic powers from a very young age, we make these chicks believe that Amy is the parent who is taking care of them.

It's a double imprinting strategy: if the bird's imprinting works, then good, and if it doesn't, I'll put it on another possibility, and then I'll make it into Amy's subordinate by double imprinting it.

''Of course, granting magic power takes practice, but fortunately, Aimee is in a growth period right now, so with practice, she can have some magic power.

Amy's face brightened at those words, while Carina-san and Arie-san, on the contrary, became thoughtful.

''Can Temma-san teach us how to practice our magic power?''

Carina asked anxiously.

I'm not going to stay with you, but I'm going to take care of you until you learn the basics. Besides, the method I'm going to teach you is the one I actually learned when I was four years old, so there's very little danger. And if there is, it's just that I'll pass out from using too much magic.

They both looked uneasy at the last word, but Amy, our own Amy, was

Please!

He was tense, so they reluctantly agreed.

'Amy, let me tell you first, I'm only going to teach you the basics. I can't be responsible for the rest. And even if you learn the basics, you can't imitate an adventurer. If you can't follow, I won't teach you.

I said clearly to Amy. Adventurers are usually responsible for their own deaths, even if they die.

But if I teach a child the basics of magic and he dies in a huff, I can't be held responsible.

So, as a condition of teaching the basics beforehand, I made it clear that I wasn't going to teach them if they were going to imitate adventurers, and I listened to Amy in front of her mother and grandmother.

However, Amy said.

Be an adventurer and dive with your dad!

I said so. So, once again, I asked Carina and Arie-san.

'It can't be helped. Maybe it's better to let him do it than to stop him for some strange reason... it would be less dangerous if he was with his father...

I allowed myself to be half-heartedly surprised.

'However, you'll have to tell your father yourself!

And that's on the condition that.

'And I'll tell you ahead of time, if Amy gives up or can't learn to manipulate magic, these chicks are going to be meat.

What?

Amy looks at me, stunned, but I don't care.

'Think about it, it's cute, but I don't need a rockbird as a family member, and even if it's just a coincidence, I'm giving away the thing I hatched, and if Aimee can't control it, then the rockbird is just a demon. I'll have to take care of it responsibly with my own hands before it harms people.

'You understand,' I said, perhaps a little cruelly, but I told Amy that I was ready.

'So Amy needs to keep that in mind before she practices.

Okay! I won't let you kill these kids!

He said with a resolve that could be seen as hostile to me.

'Well, let's get on with it. But first, I'm going to go out for a bit, so change into some clothes you don't mind getting dirty, and get a tub of water ready and waiting.

With that, I ran towards the guild.

The reason is because I was originally supposed to give Leena the candy tomorrow, but I didn't want to take as much time as possible to teach Aimee the basics of magic, so I thought I could give it to her today if possible.

However, things didn't go as I had hoped, and Leena wasn't in the guild.

I went to the entrance of the dungeon just in case, and as luck would have it, Leena and the others were about to dive in.

''Oi~, Leena!

He looked around at me at the sound of his voice, but I didn't care and ran over to him.

'What's the matter, Temma?'

The first person who approached me was Garratt, who was closest to me. I told him the reason, and he was about to hand Leena a piece of candy.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have something urgent to do!

And then he tried to pull me away.

Wait a minute!

And Menace had grabbed me by the collar.

I heard him say something like, "Gee," but I dared to pretend I didn't hear him.

What do you think is more important, sweets or solving dungeons?

'Of course it's candy! ........oh.

Leena looked awkward as she reacted as if she'd said it without thinking.

'Well said, Leena you can sit there.

''Um... the floor there is cobblestone, but...''

And so on, but he resisted.

Seiza!

I was sitting upright, crying out at the power of Menace.

I don't care about that, and I leave the candy with Menace.

As expected of a top class party, the djinn all have magic bags.

''Well, I certainly gave it to you!

He raised his hand in greeting and slipped away, Leena's voice behind him.

"Heartless, traitorous... I'll curse you...

And so on, but after I heard a loud noise like a thump, I couldn't hear the voices anymore.

I left the dungeon, praying in my mind for good fortune (note: I'm not dead).

When I returned to my room, I was greeted by a spirited Amy.

'Let's get started!'

Amy has her arms rolled up and a hachimaki wrapped around her head. Pretty spirited, though.

Okay, I'll tell you.

He held his hand over the tub of water and created a wave in the water.

'Try to do what you think at first,'

He looked slightly distracted by the words and hastily held up his hand and began to growl.

''Yea!''

Thirty minutes later.

Hi!

One hour later.

Woo-hoo!

Two hours later.

Unnu~!

Three hours later.

Why? Why aren't you saying a word to me!

It's water.

That's not what I'm talking about!　

If I blurted it out, he got mad at me. As it was, Amy stared at me.

'Why don't you tell me what's going on?

I was angry with him.

Because I never heard you say, "Tell me about it.

I said siretly. Those words stunned Carina and the others who had come to check on her, but

'If you don't know, you have to say you don't know, or I won't know what Amy doesn't know.

I'm aware that I'm being nasty and cryptic myself. But I wanted you to understand that it's important to learn from someone else, even if it means preventing Amy from trying to learn magic on her own in the future.

It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

Me and Amy are in different situations and abilities, but let me imprint on you that you can't do it without being taught by others.

''Well I don't know how to do it. Please teach me.

It seemed that Amy was finally at the starting line I had in mind.
