Chapter 185
Since I was too lazy to make anything fancy for dinner, I decided that a quick and easy Yakiniku Don would be the best .
Luckily, everyone likes it, because it has meat . Moreover, I decided to indulge and make it with the very precious and delicious Earth Dragon meat so there were no complaints from anyone .
After the excellent meal, Dora-chan, Sui and I went to the bathroom for our promised nightly bath .
I had already bought several different kinds of Hot Spring Bath Salts from [Net Super] and it was time to try it out .
The one I used today turned the water a milky white colour which did not emit much scent . However, when we stepped into the bath, the water felt silky against my skin .
“Fuuhhh…”
It felt like all the tensions in my muscles suddenly melted away .
“Baths are the greatest . ”
“Ahh, this is the best~”
“Baths are the greatest~”
Both Dora-chan and Sui floated on the milky white water as steam wafted around us .
Baths really are the best .
We took our time to relax and enjoy the bath .
We then got out of the bath, and flopped down on the sofa of the ridiculously sized living room to rest for a bit before making the arduous trip up to the bedroom .
I rehydrated with some sports drink while Dora-chan and Sui had fruit flavoured milk .
“Feels great to drink this after getting out of the bath . ” I sighed .
“It’s so refreshing and sweet~”
Dora-chan and Sui seemed to like fruit flavoured milk and gulped it all down in no time .
“Nu, how unfair . ” Fer came padding into the living room, bristling with annoyance . It looked like he had gotten tired of waiting for us in the bedroom .
“Fer, would you like some too?”
“Umu,”
I poured some fruit flavoured milk into a deep dish for Fer .
“Hey, don’t I still have some pudding left?” Asked Dora-chan . Clearly, he was talking about the reward pudding cups I had given to him that afternoon .
“Oh yeah, you still have three sets of three flavours . ”
“Then, I want to have one set of every flavour now . ”
I popped out three kinds of pudding onto a plate and gave it to Dora-chan .
Dora-chan began to slurp through his pudding delightedly .
“That looks really yummy…” Sui was staring longingly at Dora-chan’s pudding .
“Tch, what a bunch of helpless fellas . Oi, give both Sui and Fer some of these too . ”
How surprising, looks like Dora-chan was willing to share his favourite pudding cups with others . Moreover, he even included Fer in the offer as well .
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah . I mean, we’re comrades after all . And you, despite being our master you’re still our comrade so I’ll share it with you too . ”
Fufu, Dora-chan can be quite edgy and rough, but he’s a good fellow where it counts .
“I’m fine, but thank you for the offer . I’m very touched that you thought of me, so please accept my thanks anyway . ”
The words seemed to cause Dora-chan some embarrassment as he ducked his head, his little tail swished back and forth quickly, betraying his feelings . Deciding not to make a big thing out of the matter, I turned away to withdraw the other two sets of three puddings and popped them out on plates for Sui and Fer .
“Here, Dora-chan said you could have them . Don’t forget to say thank you . ”
“Wee! Thanks, Dora-chan!”
“Umu . Thank you, Dora-chan . ”
Fer and Sui got started on their pudding after thanking Dora-chan .
“Dora-chan, the pudding is very delicious . ”
“Umu, indeed . This is not bad . ”
“Fufufu, I know right . Since I say they are tasty, so, of course, they must be tasty!”
My familiars got along so well . A warm feeling suffused my chest as I watch them interact with each other .
“Oh yeah speaking of which, aren’t we taking down the Cyclops tomorrow? What kind of monster is it?”
“The Cyclopes are big but they move slowly . ”
Was Fer’s response when I brought up the Cyclops subject .
“Fer, have you ever fought a Cyclops before?”
“Umu, several times . It was all a very one-sided fight in my favour, of course . ” He said it as though it was the most obvious thing in the world .
“I’ve fought them too, you know?” said Dora-chan .
Oh, so Dora-chan also had some experience subjugating Cyclopes .
“Cyclopes are big, strong and sturdy, but just like Fer said, they are a bunch of slowpokes . As long as you move quickly and attack first, it’s a win for you . ”
Attack first and fast… he made it sound easy but I don’t think matters would go as easily as he said it would .
“Umu, it’s just as Dora-chan said . Those things are rather slow, so it’s best to hit them hard and fast and give them no time to react . ”
In other words, we apply the same strategy as before . Victory goes to whoever made the first move . Well, under the circumstances, I won’t have a chance to fight tomorrow .
“Sui will also pew pew them~ !”
“Yes yes, tomorrow as soon as you guys spot him, attack at once . Isn’t that right, Fer?”
If victory goes to the person who makes the first move, I expect we will sweep the opponents away again .
“Umu . As soon as I see him, I’ll take him down . ”
“Yeah . ”
“Sui will do her best~”
Everyone’s motivated as usual . I have a feeling that tomorrow’s subjugation quest would be over in no time . I’m starting to feel a little sorry for the Cyclops who is going to be attacked by all my super-powered familiars at the same time .
The poor thing would probably go down before he could muster any counterattack .
I pressed my hands together and prayed for the Cyclops I had not seen yet .
[Gumihou: … let’s all pray for the Cyclops]
