Chapter 113: Behave Properly, Mani-san!

Next to the dungeon, the mechanical creature Zord is motionless like an objet d’art.

Its appearance looks like that of an intense-looking iron dragon.

Its deep red body is massive, and in addition to sharp claws and fangs, it’s equipped with a number of sharp blades with usability I don’t know of.

It’s hard to imagine from its inorganic body, but this Genos Breaker is apparently alive.

[It’s a living creature, and if left as is, it will die. That’s why I had it frozen for now.]

Mani-san, who had come to his senses again, told me.

[So, we have to thaw it out before we can fill it with energy packs?]

[That’s right. However, if mana isn’t circulated within 30 minutes of thawing, its metallic cells will be seriously damaged. Moreover, once thawed, it’s impossible to refreeze it.]

That means failure isn’t an option huh......

[Then, how do we increase the capacity of the energy packs———-

[Energy packs? What’s that, is it something tasty?]

He suddenly forgot what’s going on!?

Just when I thought his memories had returned for a moment, this happened.

Hmm, it’s going to be very difficult to get a sensible conversation going with him like this.

The residents, who were scared at first, approached when they found out that the Genos Breaker wasn’t moving.

Merle, a bundle of curiosity as she always had been, led the way and looked at it up close.

[Fuehhh, a mechanical dragon huh. I wonder if this one might move.]

Mira is also checking out the Genos closely.

[It has big claws. With those claws, it should be easier to dig up large tree stumps.

[It certainly will be easy to build roads and river dikes with it. I’d also like to get it moving but......]

The problem is Mani-san’s condition.

Just when we thought Mani-san had regained his memory, he’d forget what was going on three minutes later, and we would be back to square one.

[With him like this, I won’t be able to create a high-capacity energy pack anytime soon.]

[Hmmm, the point is to get Grandpa’s memory back, right?

A mischievous look appears in Merle’s eyes.

Thereupon, she sat down next to Mani-san with a bewitching smile on her face.

[Hey, Mani-san, I have some delicious snacks here. How about trying some?]

However, Mani-san turned his head to the side.

[I don’t want it. I can feel you lot sneaking around......]

[However, how about at least a bite? It’s very delicious. It’s very delicious, you know? Here, ahhn.]

Titti coquettishly tried feeding him, but Mani-san turned his face away once again.

[Geez, you stubborn Grampa!]

Titti started huffing in anger, but Mira interjected at that moment, taking the Young Doughnuts from her.

[Mani-san, it’s fine if you don’t like it, but Yuusuke-san’s snacks are really delicious, you know? How about having some?]

Thereupon, Mani-san looked at Mira and the Young Doughnuts several times before opening his mouth wide.

[Here you go.]

Mira tore a Young Doughnut in half and tossed one half-piece into Mani-san’s mouth.

She’s like a parent bird.

[Mugu mugu...... Unnn, it’s delicious.]

[Right!?]

[What the heck is this!? His attitude around her is totally different towards me!]

Titti looked angry, but Mira and Mani-san just continued pleasantly eating Young Doughnuts.

[Do you want some more?]

[Unnn.]

[Please eat the rest by yourself.]

[Aye aye.]

In the end, Mani-san ate the whole pack of Young Doughnuts.

This should make him 20 years younger, but what will happen now?

We watched with bated breath as the situation unfolded.
