In A Parallel World With Random Skills, I Reluctantly Become A Mafia Boss?

Chapter 26: Journey

A strange custom to do, but I guess it's nothing that interesting.

Marielle-san can only be fed once in the morning, and during the evening by slowly giving her nutritional juice from the 'Perac Fruit' that gives stamina and energy by drinking out of it, since she can't consume solid food while unconscious.

Of course, I had gotten this from one of the merchants who were travelling with us, and this particular merchant was focused in trading food goods. His name was Forear-shi.

Meanwhile, the other two were in the weapons trade and item business.

Their names were Gaspar-shi, and Yozak-shi respectively.

Gaspar-shi had a larger belly compared to the other two, but he seemed to be the most mature one out of all of them. Must be because of his age.

As expected of merchants, I guess?

After making sure that only Marielle-san was left inside the farthermost carriage, and that she had enough ventilation to breathe properly, we closed the carriage door and went towards the others who were preparing the firewood, seating arrangements and the meals.

I also found a useful function for my <<Intuition>> skill during these few days.

It turns out, that I can also make it that the warnings ring in my head, whenever a designated ally is in danger as well, including myself and other designated living beings.

Naturally, I immediately designated Marielle-san, following that was Elle-chan.

I judged that the two birds didn't need my help seeing how they act around me.

By the time I had learned this useful feature, Lode-san was already too far away to be designated, so I can only wait till we meet again in the future.

When we reached the gathering of people, Borzche-san told us to help pitch in and gather firewood. Well, he only told me of course. Elle-chan was only told to wait here with the others, but it seems she wanted to help with the cooking so he lets her do what she wants.

I saw an embarrassed smile on his face when he saw how happy Elle-chan was after being given the okay to help with the cooking, which was suspicious as they can get.

"This damn lolicon..."

"..Hmm? Did you say something Kyouya-dono?"

"No, I'm just thinking about how much firewood I should get."

"Well, we only need a little more, so one stack would do."

"Aye, got it."

Oops, I let my true feelings slip out there for a moment.

But it couldn't be helped.

Dangerous actions like that deserve to get nipped in the bud before they bloom.

I thought to myself as I was gathering dry sticks and branches in the nearby trees.

A few more minutes later after I had contributed my share of work, the meal was finished.

As I was starting to stand up to receive my share, a slightly spicy aroma tickled my nose.

Looking towards the source, a wooden bowl of soup along with some dried meat and vegetables were being carried on a wooden tray by the little Elle-chan.

She was slightly moving faster than her usual pace, as she moved towards me.

"Kyouya-nii, here."

Elle-chan says politely, as he presented the tray of food to me.

"Ah, thank you Elle-chan."

"Un, taste it."
