Bringing the Miso Home & Gordon’s Magic
Come to think of it, when it’s a revelation from the Goddess, she grants requests, right? Probably.
I am absolutely bringing that miso home!
I mean, miso is like, put it on and miso! Eat it and miso! If you don’t eat it, you’re missing out.
It’s an essential seasoning. Absolutely, positively, no matter what, I am bringing it back.
So yeah, I’m saying it’s a message from the Goddess.
“Papa, um, the Goddess told me. She said miso bees are packed full of miso. You dilute it before using it, she said. It’s suuuper tasty, so bwing all of it home.”
I clenched both fists and made my case passionately.
“Ugh~ words from the Goddess!”
“My dear, let’s believe what Kai-kun is saying. It smells like poop reaaally bad, though.”
Mama, stop pinching your nose.
“You’re right… a revelation from the Goddess… However, I cannot believe this would taste good. It’s poop. It smells like poop!”
Papa, you too… stop holding your nose!
Look, Mama’s got wrinkles between her brows!
“Sebas.”
“Yes, Master.”
“This appears to be a revelation from the Goddess.
I do not wish to take it home. I truly do not wish to take it home… but we have no choice.”
“Understood, Master. As you command.”
Where did that huge box even come from? Did you measure it? Why is it the exact perfect size for the miso bee?!
The miso bee fit perfectly inside the box.
For some reason, Sebas wrapped a triangular cloth over his mouth, hoisted it onto his back…
… and vanished!
Sebas, are you a ninja or something? Weirdly, that makes sense. Seriously, who are you?
That lightning speed is insane!
And just like that, I obtained miso.
Now then, how do I get everyone to eat it?
“Papa, thank you.
I’ll make it delicious, okay? Let’s eat it together next time.”
“O… oh…”
Don’t make that bitter face, Papa!
Miso is delicious!
Our forest stroll and lunch were fun.
And unexpectedly scoring miso? That was the greatest harvest of my entire life so far!
I mean, I’m only three, though.
Anyway, a week passed after that.
I want miso soup, but I don’t have dashi.
Dashi is important. It’s in demand.
I got Papa’s permission, so today I was in the food storage. Sebas and Gordon were with me.
“Then this Gordon will be guiding Young Master Kaito through the pantry, yes, indeed.”
Gordon, aren’t you a little too tense? You okay?
“Yes, please take care of me, yes, indeed.”
Just a little mischievous streak. Heh.
“Young Master Kaito, please don’t tease me. It’s embarrassing.”
“Sowwy.”
Gordon, your face is twitching. My bad.
“Ahahaha, Young Master is quite the little prankster~”
Sebas, don’t make heart eyes at me. And don’t you dare hope I’ll tease you too.
“Hehe. Okay, show me inside.”
Clank. Click. The key turned, and the creaking door swung open.
“Light.”
Eh?! No way~ Gordon can use magic? Wait, what? “Light”? Huh? Huh??
“Magic! That’s amazing!”
“No, no. I can use magic, but only daily-life magic. When I say ‘Light’ like that, it merely illuminates the room. And perhaps I can light the stove’s pilot flame.”
“I still can’t use magic yet. Since you can, that makes you amazing, Gowdon.”
“Well, even such simple magic feels nice to be praised.”
Gordon grinned wide, and I thought his ears looked a little red.
A middle-aged man getting flustered… yeah, that’s kinda cute.
“Alright, Gowdon. Guide me inside.”
