Chapter 76

If you are an adult, or even a five-year-old who has grown up, you can endure not eating for two or three days.

In fact, in my previous life, there were many times when I couldn't get a meal for two or three days, but I managed to endure.

It was very hard, but I didn't die.

"Roah is a baby. She can't endure it. She might get sick."

"It's a serious situation."

"Yes, it's serious."

I think. I need to quickly secure enough food to make Roah full.

It will take time to gather food from the goats and owls.

Starting tomorrow, or maybe after lunch, it might be fine, but it won't be in time for breakfast.

"In this case... I have to sneak into the kitchen..."

There is a risk of being caught, but it's the most certain and fastest way.

"I might get scolded... but Roah's food is more important."

Sara said this seriously and nodded.

"Will Sara sneak in? Sara, you're fast, right?"

"If we're sneaking in, Luria is the best. Can't you hear Crow's voice?"

"What do you mean?" "Woof?"

"Crow can only be seen by Luria. Therefore, it's perfect for reconnaissance."

"Oh, I see!" "Woof!" "Hehe"

Sara and Daru were impressed, and Crow was proudly puffing out his chest.

Crow can never be seen by my mother, the maids, or the servants.

So, if Crow scouts and confirms that no one is around, I can sneak in safely.

"Even if Mother approaches, I can detect it, right?"

"...It's a perfect plan."

"Yes, Luria is a strategist."

"Kyu?"

At that moment, Caro started to wrap a handkerchief around her neck, which she had taken from the drawer.

"Caro? ...Ah! So you're going to carry the food with that?"

"Kyu!"

With a cry, Caro ran out the window into the rain.

I took a large towel from the drawer.

"If I wrap the food in this, I can carry a lot."

"Oh."

The nimble and small Caro will be able to get the food without being seen.

However, no matter how much she wraps in the handkerchief, Caro is small.

It will be difficult for her to carry enough food to make Roah full.

"Luria also needs to go quickly. Sara, Daru, Korko. Please take care of Roah."

"Understood." "Auu"

"Huh? Where's Korko?"

'Korko went outside through the window a while ago.'

"Even in the rain?"

She might have gone on her usual patrol. Or maybe she went to gather food.

"But I'm not worried about Korko."

'It's fine.'

"Sara, if Mother comes, please cover for me. I'll be back soon."

"O-Okay." "Waaau"

It would be a big problem if it's discovered that I'm not here.

I need to get back to the room as quickly as possible while Sara buys me some time.

"Then, I'm going."

I wrapped the towel around my waist and walked out of the room.

"Ryaaaaa"

Then Roah flew off Sara's arm and clung to me.

"What's wrong, Roah? Why are you crying so sadly?"

"Luria, Roah thought you were leaving her behind."

I thought the same as Sara, but Crow, while petting Roah, said:

'...Roah is worried about Luria.'

"What do you mean?"

'She thought you might go somewhere alone and meet an enemy or get lost.'

"I see, thank you. Sara, Roah is worried about Luria."

Even though she's a baby, she's worried about me.

Roah is very kind, even without her memories.

I pet Roah and explain gently.

"Don't worry. We're safe inside the house."

"Rya?"

"Yes. I'll be back soon, okay? Stay with Sara and Daru."

'Roah, Luria is fine.'

After reassuring Roah with Crow, I have Sara hold her.

"Roah, stay with Sara, okay?"

"...Ryum"

"Please take care of her, Daru?"

"Woof"

Daru wagged his tail proudly, saying, "Leave it to me."
