Chapter 6: Charitable Contributions in the Town of Karelina

“Phew,” I sighed. We’d just finished breakfast, and I was relaxing in my living room with a cup of roasted green tea. It had been quite some time since I’d brewed tea of that variety, and I’d picked it out because I wanted something that’d be nice and easy on my stomach after the all-out meat fest I’d treated my familiars to the night before.

Fel, Gon, Dora-chan, and Sui had all taken the chance to absolutely gorge themselves on meat. I had kept grilling thick-cut steak after steak after steak, but I never felt like I was even keeping up with their appetites, much less outpacing them. I’d started with salt and pepper steaks, moved on to my usual flavored steak sauces, then tried making some with salt blends flavored with lemon, wasabi, and the like. But even after I had done all that work and had them sample each of the different varieties I’d come up with, it still wasn’t enough to fill them up, and they went straight to requesting more of their favorite kinds.

Fel and Gon had been especially meat-starved, and they’d eaten so much I had been left shaking my head in stupefied bemusement. I’d gotten caught up in the excitement and wolfed down a big, thick steak myself, but even one of them had been a little too much for me...

And yet, in spite of the outlandish pile of meat they’d eaten the night before, my gluttonous quartet had woken up the next morning and excitedly demanded more meat for breakfast. Fel had even gone out of his way to specifically ask for the rare cockatrice meat that we’d gotten back from the guild yesterday!

I had realized that there’d be no arguing with him, so I had pulled out the special cockatrice meat that I’d only just received and used it to whip up some cockatrice teriyaki bowls, which I’d topped with a healthy squeeze of mayo. Once again, I’d found myself sent right back to the kitchens for seconds, and thirds, and on and on. We’d gone heavy on the red meat the night before, but my familiars’ appetites had reminded me once again that their stomachs were never to be underestimated.

I, incidentally, had had some onion and potato miso soup left over from the morning before with an egg cracked into it, some braised kombu, a rice ball filled with salmon flakes, and some pickled cucumbers and eggplant. That was just about the perfect breakfast, the way I saw it!

And with that, breakfast was over and I’d had the chance to sit back and lounge about. My familiars, meanwhile, had asked me to pour them some soda, which struck me as a pretty intense drink to be having first thing in the morning.

“Another! I will have cider next.”

“I’ll have another as well, though I’ll take the dark-colored one, myself. ‘Cola,’ was it?”

《More for me too! I’ll go with the cider, same as Fel.》

《Ooh, Sui too! Sui wants cola!》

“Okay, coming right up,” I said as I topped off their drinking vessels.
