Chapter 837: One Summer Day

Chapter 837: One Summer Day

One fine day after breakfast.

In a cool room of my mansion, Ruincia and Aurora were knitting together.

It’s a bonding time between grandmother and granddaughter.

It’s something good.

......

It is supposed to be good.

Because of that, spiderlings,

Stop knitting at an awesome rate beside the two of them.

We all know you guys have great skills so don’t make Aurora’s eyes glaze over.

Didn’t you notice how Ruincia’s wings are twitching?

Come, just play with me over there.

I played with the spiderlings.

We played jump rope in the courtyard today.

No, etho, what was it called again?

Double dutch?

Yeah, double dutch.

It’s a game that uses two ropes so it can’t be underestimated.

It’s a cool game too.

Of course, I can’t do something as cool as that.

I just taught the spiderlings the concept.

Then, the spiderlings started playing double dutch in a cool way.

Yeah.

They’re really amazing no matter how much I watch.

They’re not just doing some simple jumping.

They change the speed at which they rotate the ropes while they’re doing various things.

Not only one but two or more of them jump at the same time.

Amazing.

And then, Makura suddenly arrived.Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com

After being taught briefly, she started doing various things.

She was being slouchy at the start but got the gist of it and did the double dutch fast.....ah, she even took the jump ropes and tried doing it all by herself!

The spiderlings couldn’t speak so they just held signs with “Ooohhh!” written on them.

As expected of Makura.

While I was thinking so, I suddenly saw Zabuton coming.

No way, Zabuton too?

That can’t be.

Nimble, continuous steps!

And even posing?

The ropes keep spinning but she is posing as if she’s not jumping on ropes.....how can she move her legs like that while doing jump ropes?

Amazing!

She started doing more complicated things after.

My eyes can’t even keep up with what she was doing.

I’m the kind of guy who can jump twice the most after all.

I won’t say anything else.

I know that it was amazing.

I spent two hours playing with Zabuton, Makura, and the spiderlings.

After lunch.

I haven’t seen the “Flying Carpet” lately.

As for why, my son with Rasuti, Kukulkan, has taken a liking to it.

He even holds it tightly even when he’s sleeping so it can’t go to me.

Affirmative.

Let me check the shaved ice machine.

And if we have ice.

Fairy Queen, what flavor do you want?

Strawberry?

Alright.

Understood.

I topped the shaved ice with strawberry flavor and strawberry toppings.

Let’s add strawberry jam too.

Mint leaves for color.....ah, you don’t want those?

Alright.

Then, it’s done.

Here you go.

Make the next one?

I don’t mind but you have to eat it before it melts.

That’s not it?

Ah, the children are coming.

I guess it’s time for them to return from the pool.

Just as the Fairy Queen had predicted, the children arrived. When they saw the Fairy Queen eating strawberry shaved ice, they all shouted.

「I want one!」

I know I know.

I’ll make some for you now.

But only a little.

I’ve seen a child get a stomachache from eating too much before.

Besides, if you eat a lot at this time of the day, you won’t have an appetite for dinner.

I don’t want to see you get scolded for not being able to eat.

Also, I’ll get scolded by your mothers too.

......yeah, they’re scary.

I’m glad you understand.

I made a little amount of strawberry shaved ice for the children who came over.

Dinner.

The oni maids prepared fish taken from the small floating garden that were turned into aquariums. They were prepared on the spot.

It’s a method called “live kitchen”.

A way to stimulate appetite by showing the cooking process.

It’s one of the results of research by the oni maids on why ramen restaurants are so popular.

「Umu. It would be a pleasure if I’d had a dinner like this with the nobles.」

The demon king ate the sashimi prepared by the oni maids while saying so.

「Umu. Delicious!」

I’m glad you are pleased.

I also took a bite.

It’s delicious, alright.

Night.

I’m not thinking of anything.

It was another relaxing day.

「Since there is almost no aging period, umami won’t likely be there yet.」

Village chief won’t say anything tactless like that.

AN: I won’t be able to update since I’m going to the comiket. Sorry.

TN: Happy New Year! Another year has ended but thank you for your continuous support!
