The Reincarnated Boy’s Growth Log ~The Harder I Work The Stronger I Can Become!?~ 143

What They Picked Up Was……

 

Priscilla was restlessly pacing up and down in front of the villa when I brought Eclat, Mei-chan, Roy, and the black tiger cub and went back to the villa.

“Priscilla, calm down. Lei went to look for them; it’ll be fine”

“Bu, but! I’m still worried nonetheless. If something happens to Mei-chan and the others, I……”

I wonder if she’s waiting outside because she’s worried about Mei-chan and the others? In that case, I have to return and give her a peace of mind quickly.

“O~i, Priscilla~”

That’s why I called out to Priscilla, and when I did, Priscilla vigorously looked in my direction, where the voice came from, saw Mei-chan and the others, and ran over at an astounding speed.

“Mei-chan! Roy-kun!”

And then Priscilla, who ran over to us, hugs Mei-chan and Roy tightly.

“Geezz! I was so worried! Geezz, geezz!”

“Uuu, I’m, I’m sorry, Onee-chan”

“Sorry, Priscilla-neechan”

All three of them then started crying. I suppose Priscilla was anxious, and Mei-chan and Roy were frightened because they were attacked by Orcs. It can’t be helped.

Afterwards, I brought the three of them, who stopped crying, back into the villa but

“……Priscilla, how about forgiving them already……”

“No! This time it would not have turned out like this if they had followed Lei-san’s instructions! I have to give it to them firmly so that they don’t get themselves into such a dangerous predicament in the future!”

After returning to the villa, Priscilla made Mei-chan and Roy sit in seiza-style and began her lecture. Furthermore, Mei-chan and Roy appear to be familiar with it; since they began sitting in seiza-style upon entering the room, I suppose the rule since the time they were in Arcadia is that they’ll end up like this if they did something wrong.

It took about an hour. Alexia and the others were also smiling awkwardly. It’s just that, exactly as Priscilla was saying, we have to give it to them firmly, taking into consideration that something similar might happen in the future as well, it might be something that can’t be helped.

“Kyu~ruru~”

Eclat chirrups pitifully, but Eclat is just as guilty as well. I hear from Roy that Eclat was also on board with it. Eclat is sentenced to tickling. You you~!

“Kyuu!? Kyuru! Kyururuu!”

Eclat dislikes being tickled, so she twists her body and tries to escape, but this is punishment. I’m not gonna let you escape so easily. Rub rub~.

A few minutes later

“Kyu……ruu……”

There’s the sight of Eclat who’s in too much agony that she’s facing upwards motionlessly.

Priscilla’s lecture also finished at the same time as the punishment on this side, so although it has gotten slightly late, we decided to have lunch.

When Priscilla opens the lunch box, there are sandwiches and so forth packed tightly inside, and everybody takes a sandwich and proceeds to eat it. However

“Nya, nya, nya”

everybody is staring at the one tiger cub. The sight of it eating the sandwich deliciously is lovely though. Mei-chan is also eating her own sandwich while patting that tiger cub.

“Erm, Mei-chan. What’s with that tiger cub?”

Perhaps she finally grew tired of waiting, Aerith asks Mei-chan. Mei-chan, she talks about what happened in the forest after giving the tiger cub a stroke. And then she looks in my direction

“That’s why Onii-chan, can I raise it at home? I’ll raise it with all my effort”

and requests of me. U~n, what should I do? I don’t particularly mind her raising it but

“Helen. Is it alright to bring monsters into town?”

I don’t really know about the details in that area, so I ask Helen who seems like she’d know.

“Yes, if you put a specialized collar or a bracelet on them, you’ll be able to bring them inside. Although they are very few, there are also people known as Monster Tamers after all”

I see. It’s those people who use monsters huh. ……eh? Come to think of it

“Hey, in that case, what about Eclat? I didn’t put a collar nor a bracelet on Eclat though”

“Kyun? Kyurururuu!”

As I was asking Helen about Eclat’s matter, Eclat reacted to it, slapped my lap and objected. What?

“Eclat-chan is saying, ‘I’m wearing a bracelet! Lei, you idiot!'”

Eclat then shows me the True Crystal’s bracelet that she’s wearing on her right paw. No, not that

“Eclat, not that engagement bracelet, I’m talking about the bracelet for monsters to enter the town. I know that Eclat polishes that bracelet every night, so don’t get so angry, alright?”

“Kyururu!? Kyuuu~”

When I say that and pat her head, Eclat hangs her head embarrassedly. I wonder if she’s embarrassed that the fact that she’s polishing the bracelet every night got exposed. Well, now, more importantly

“How about Eclat?”

“I think Eclat-chan is probably an exception. I suppose it’s because she’s with Lei, who can be trusted, so they think it’s fine to substitute it with that engagement bracelet”

I see. I guess it’s fine if that’s the case. Well, I suppose there are all kinds of problems the moment two people, who are more dangerous than Eclat, are opening a restaurant in the Royal Capital though. Priscilla was saying that Shishou went there to eat previously, so there shouldn’t be any problem. Probably.

“Mei-chan”

“Yes!”

“It’s quite difficult to raise an animal. Even so, are you still going to do it?”

“Un! I was requested by this child’s mother. I’m counting on you for this child, she said. That’s why!”

If she has that much determination, then I guess it’s okay. I can’t imagine Mei-chan give up on raising it either.

“I got it. It’s fine to raise it at home then. Helen, where do I have to go to buy that monster-use bracelet and collar?”

“If I am not wrong, I think it is being sold at the Adventurer’s Guild”

Is that so, then I have to make a trip to the Adventurer’s Guild huh. The last time I went was before I went to Arcadia huh. It has been about four months. I have to say hello to Ruby-san as well.

“We did it, Krondine! We’re a family from now on!”

“Nya nya”

“Un, let’s live to the fullest for your Okaa-san’s sake as well, alright!”

Mei-chan hugs the tiger cub tightly happily. That tiger cubーーーKrondineーーI wonder if it can become Mei-chan’s escort when it grows up. A guard-tiger instead of a guard-dog. Sounds strong.

“Lei, that’s probably a Horn Tiger’s subspecies”

Caro says something like that as I’m looking at the delighted Mei-chan and Krondine.

“Horn Tiger’s subspecies?”

“Eeh, I’ve subjugated it once before; the Horn Tiger is a Rank B monster, the large horn they have on their head is their characteristic, they are keen with their movements, use their head to charge, gather Magic Power in their horn to attack, and so forth. Although their colour is white by nature, that tiger cub is”

“It’s black, so it’s a subspecies?”

“Eeh”

In that case, that means it’ll possess the strength that’s proportionate to a Rank A after it grows up huh. It’s becoming increasingly befitting to be a guard-tiger. I’ll try patting it a little as well.

“Mei-chan, can I pat it as well?”

“Un, sure!”

And then she holds the Krondine, who’s inside her arms, in her hand and holds it out to me. When I tried to pat the dangling Krondine

“Nyaa!”

Gabu

it bit me.

“……owwwwwww!”

“Aah! Krondine-chan, you can’t bite Onii-chan! Open your mouth! Ptui1 it out! Ptui!”

Mei-chan says to it and it stops biting me, but it looks at me with eyes filled with hostility for some reason. Even though it purrs pleasurefully when the other girls or Roy pats it. How unreasonable!

Despite such things happening, we spent our time in the villa enjoyingly and came back to the Royal Capital amidst the snow.

“Gurururuu”

“……why”

Krondine is still hostile towards to me.

◇◇◇

“Grutas-sama, excuse me”

“Religas huh. How are things going?”

“Yes. It looks like the reinforcement to the Runwalker March have arrived safely”

“Then what about the Royal Capital’s defence?”

“It looks like they only left bare minimum behind. There are probably less than 10 thousand people in total”

“Kukuku. Alright, then proceed according to the plan. Raymond, I’ll drag you down from your throne. Guhahaha!”
