Chapter 284 Reporting is Important (2/2)
[……Haahhh…… I’ll ask just in case, but there’s no way that you went to visit World King-sama to ask her for Fruits of the World, just to feed your pet, right……?]
[……I- I’m sorry.]
[……You did huh……]
I bow my head again to Lilia-san, who astoundedly looked at me, while her shoulders slumped down.
Yes, Lilia-san is right…… Actually, just a days ago, I visited Lillywood-san and explained that Lynn liked the Fruit of the World Tree, and tried to negotiate with her to see if she could share some with me.
Apparently, the effectiveness of the Fruits of the World Tree doesn’t lose over time, and Lillywood-san, who has restricted their distribution for may years, has enough Fruits of the World Tree that it was difficult for them to dispose of them, so she asked me to take as many as I wanted.

[……Ummm, I was only warned not to give them to others, so I got a lot.]
[……Is that so……]
Lilia-san looks as if her eyes were staring in the distance already, as if she’d given up on everything, while I was just earnestly apologizing to her…… That’s when Sieg-san, who had a wry smile on her face, helped me out.
[Lili, please forgive him with that already. It’s not like Kaito-san had any ill intentions either.]
[Sieg…… You’re spoiling Kaito-san too much.]
[Hmmm. Well, I had been watching Kaito-san take care of Bell-chan and Lynn-chan on a regular basis, so I knew that Kaito-san really cares about his pets. He’s fine with feeding Lynn-chan the Fruits of the World Tree because she’s so important to him.]
[T- That is, well…… That may be true but……]
As I thought, Sieg-san is an angel. No, she’s the messiah.
I was relieved to hear Sieg-san as she calmly makes a follow up for me, to which, Lilia-san had an expression that seems to say that it can’t be helped. I was feeling relieved inside but…… It was shattered by a single word Lunamaria-san muttered.
[……I wouldn’t be surprised if Kaito-sama had given something to Bell-sama now……]

[………………….]
[Kaito-san? Why did you look away just now?]
[………………….]
No, stop that, Lunamaria-san…… If you make a tsukkomi at that time, I would feel troubled. Or rather, I’m going to get scolded again.
However, it’s already too late to think about such matters, as Lilia-san was looking at me with that frightening smile on her face again, and I felt a large amount of sweat running down my back.
[……Kaito-san, please answer me honestly. What did you give to Bell?]
[……U- Ummm, Bell told me he wanted to get stronger…… So I “consulted with Magnawell-san”, and he told me to grind his scales into powder and mix it with his food…… That’s what I fed him……]
[……Please sit over there for a moment.]
[……Yes.]
Hearing the words I timidly said, I could clearly see Lilia-san’s veins pop out of her forehead just now, and with a tone of voice that seemed to say that she won’t let me talk back at all, I obeyed and sat down in seiza.

[……You…… What the heck are you doing!? Are you trying to raise the most powerful monster that you can!!!?]
[Hyiiiihhh!?]
[Moreover, you’re using Dragon King-sama’s scales? How out of the norm can you be for you to feel comfortable using that in your pet’s food!? Even though I wanted some of Dragon King-sama’s scales too…… and you’re just feeding him those…… How much stronger do you want Bell to become!!!?]
[My Lady, My Lady? Your desires are kinda leaking out!]
Lilia-san loves Dragons…… I showed Lilia-san the Dragon King’s scales that I got before and she fainted in surprise, but she wanted some of them huh…… She should have just told me…… Magnawell-san would always give me some when I visit him, saying that it’s my allowance, so I had lots of them.
[……U- Ummm, Lilia-san? I could give you some…… Dragon King’s scales, I mean. I- I’ll also give you some fangs!]
[……Erhem. Well, I’m sure Kaito-san didn’t mean any harm, and I don’t really intend to scold you that harshly……]
[My Lady? Why the heck did you let yourself get instantly caught……]
Lilia-san looked really frightening when she was wholeheartedly scolding me, but her reaction when I said that was so obvious that even I, the one who proposed that, was bewildered……. S- She really wanted them that much huh……
[Well, Kaito-san. It‘s fine to adore your pets, and I won’t prohibit you from feeding them with your own belongings but…… Please report such things to me from now on. I’m having a hard time consuming enough stomach pills for all these troubles I’m facing now. I feel like I’ve already taken enough for a lifetime……]

[Y- Yes. I’m really sorry.]
Hearing Lilia-san’s very fervent, heartfelt outburst, I put my hands on the ground and deeply apologized.
Dear Mom, Dad———– For the first time in a long while, I was scolded by Lilia-san after she found out that I had given the Fruits of the World Tree to Lynn and the Dragon King’s scales to Bell. Well, it’s my fault for not properly reporting it to her about it, so I can’t really complain. Unnn, seriously——— Reporting is important.
~~ Remarks ~~
Bellfreed (Behemoth)
—A gradual and long growth period of a few hundred years, growing about 5 meters in a hundred years and eventually exceeding 100 meters. With the way Bellfreed is raised though, continuously raising him with this method would seriously make him reach a monstrously strong level.
Lindwurm (White Dragon)
—The ages 1 to 5 are the magic power growth period of the White Dragons, and ages 5 to 10 are their physical growth period. Incidentally, she’s currently 2 years old. Because she ate a lot of Fruits of the World Tree, she already possesses more magic power than an adult dragon. It seems that she has some sort of purpose as to why she is begging Kaito for the Fruits of the World Tree (which will be talked about in an Intermission Chapter later).
