Chapter 344: Masked Bird Roast
344 – Masked Bird Roast
“……”
Aro sits in silence, both arms outstretched. At the end of her arms, a mass of earth slowly changes shape.
I’ve asked her to use [Clay] to make an earthen oven for me.
Since we have it, I want to roast the masked bird, but if I mess up and set the tree on fire it would be a disaster. As a result, I asked Aro to make me a oven, and while she’s at it, scatter a coating of earth over a portion of the branch so that there’s a place in front of my nest for the oven to go. After all, an oven is indispensable for my home. I need an oven for a comfortable dragon life.
The masked bird is already gutted, plucked, the bits from its below its thighs that have practically no meat attached have been cut off, and it is now hanging from the nightmare’s thread. The oven is big enough to fit the trimmed masked bird inside, super-big dragon-size.
“Dragon-god-sama, magic power…Not enough…”
Aro gently reaches out a hand towards me. Her complexion is a bit bad. That’s proof that she’s low on the magic power that she needs to maintain her body. Since she’s been using magic continuously for such a long time, fatigue is showing through in her complexion.
There’s no need to ask permission, feel free to take as you please. For that matter… Might it be a good idea to take a break? The scale of the magic isn’t as big as in battle, but since this requires constant precise adjustment, the mental fatigue is greater.
