Chapter 353 – Shiggy’s Spoon and the New Agent

After we all got out of the bath, Cruz had come home.

Luka, Yureena, Timi, and Vallimie as well.

Seeing me fresh out of the bath, Cruz puffed out her cheeks.

「Ah, Al! You took a bath ALONE!」

「Not alone...I had all these four.」

「Hmph! I wanted to get in too!」

「Yeah, well maybe next time.」

After hearing Cruz’ joke, everyone gathered for dinner.

It was stew with a lot of milk and cheese, bread, and meat.

「Great food like always, Millet.」

「No need to flatter me...」

She said, but her ears did turn red, I guess she was embarrassed.

「ryaa!」

Shiggy said, drinking down the stew.

She actually had started to use a spoon to eat stew instead of just sucking it down.

She would grab it with both claws and use it...it was cute.

Shiggy also had a little bib that Vi-Vi had sewn her.

「Hey, you’re dripping it.」

I said, while wiping her off with the bib.

「ryaa」

She really loved that spoon, but eating with it was a pain.

I would try to feed her myself, but Shiggy would just shout「ryaaa」and avoid me.

She wanted to eat it herself.

「I wonder if she’s the size yet to use a spoon like that.」

「She does look cute though.」

Timi said, while watching Shiggy eat.

Cruz looked at Shiggy and said,

「No, because Shiggy eats so much, the spoon is small?」

With how short the sentence was, it was hard to understand.

Maybe we made the spoon a little too small in comparison to her body?

And if that’s so, than it’s hard for her to use?

I guess she was trying to say.

「Yeah, it is quite small for her hands.」

Shiggy was about the size of a small dog, but the spoon was a small teaspoon, the end the size of a fingernail.

「With a tiny spoon like that, she’ll never be done eating.」

「Kind of sad.」

Vi-Vi said, with Luka agreeing.

And Shiggy ate a lot for her size.

About the same amount as Collette, though she was half her size.

「I wonder where Shiggy puts it all away?」

Luka said, while reaching over and patting Shiggy’s head.

Shiggy just kept chomping at the spoon.

「I guess it’s obvious that dragons eat a lot.」

Yureena said, nodding.

「Timi, what’s a spoon she can eat easier with?」

「Hmm...hard question.」

「When a dragon is small, what do they use to eat?」

「Well, when they’re younger, they usually don’t use a spoon.」

「I see.」

I guess she started using one because she was raised by a human.

So I thought,

「I guess one with a long stem is good. She needs space for her claws.」

「However, the head of the spoon needs to be big.」

「I guess we’ll look for one at the capital next time.」

「ryaaa」

Shiggy seemed happy about that.

Then she ate the bread and meat.

After dinner and I had finished cleaning up, we all gathered in the living room.

We all wanted to be near the fireplace – it was winter.

「Don’t let your fur get burned.」

『We’re fine.』

「Moo」

I always worried about how close they were to the fireplace.

They always seemed TOO close.

Both animals had fire protection, so they would be okay.

Still, it made you worry.

So I sat down and asked Cruz and the others,

「How did the Elkay situation resolve?」

「Well. They decided on a new agent.」

Cruz said with a smile while petting Chel.

Then Luka petted Shiggy as well,

「ryaa ryaa」

Shiggy was laying back to the floor, so she was rubbing her belly while Shiggy’s arms and legs flapped away.

Seemed pleasant.

「Seems that the crown will pay more attention this time.」

「I see. Makes sense after what happened.」

「Yeah, the new agent is a royal, by the way.」

「That is strange.」

Seems like this time the crown was sending their own representative to be the agent of Elkay.

The kingdom might have felt responsible for the problem.

Even so, the fact that your agent was changed to a zombie without knowing must have been a shock.

「Seems like the crown’s had a lot to consider. How did they react?」

Vi-Vi had an obvious question.

Even though they were the royals, it could have been a half-cousin or a third cousin or something the crown sent to Elkay.

Maybe something like the grandson-cousin or someone far down the line with not a lot of responsibility.

「It’s the eldest daughter of the king.」

「My! That is quite someone.」

She was also one of the first in succession.

I just wondered what kind of character she was.

「Is she good at making decisions?」

「I’ve heard she’s quite reasonable.」

The new agent was also a knight. So she could hide herself, looking like a knight, and act like she was someone low ranking. Even so, she had risen to the rank of vice chief of the knights.

「That’s some trust the royals put in her.」

「Yeah, she must have some ability with the sword.」

「I was thinking the same thing.」

「Also, she’s associated with the church, so she’s popular with the people.」

「Well, I guess there’s no worry now.」

Quite a person chosen to watch over Elkay...I suspect it will be peaceful for as long as she’s here.

So I relaxed a bit.
