Chapter 53: Mofrun the Glutton

Mofrun turned out to be quite the glutton.

If only they had said from the start that they wanted to eat, it would have been a simple matter.

I, too, treated them to a meal without considering them an enemy.

There's plenty of meat, too.

"If Mofrun had just said they wanted to try Franz-sama's cooking from the beginning, we could have avoided fighting. It would have been better if you had said so," Franz-sama remarked.

"Indeed, as Suī says, it would have been better if I had followed my own feelings and said that I wanted to eat. But I am a legendary Fenrir, and I have my pride. That's why I couldn't say it, and it was difficult for me. To ask to be fed, it's quite embarrassing. But the truth is, the scent intrigued me, it really did."

"Even the legendary Fenrir can't resist their appetite, huh? Well, I can't say much about others when I, a magical dragon, am the same."

"Um... I would like some more rice, please..."

Mofrun said, holding their plate.

It seems they've taken a liking to the rice dish.

Of course, I welcome it, and I can make as much as needed.

"If it's rice dishes you want, I can make plenty. We can grow them in the fields, and it only takes a day. Feel free to eat as much as you like."

"Thank you!"

Sui and Mofrun were happily enjoying their meal.

In the remote borderlands, Sui welcomed the new addition of the Fenrir, Mofrun.

They developed the land, succeeded in farming, and stocked up on food.

Water wasn't an issue, thanks to Sui's abilities.

We've managed to gather most of what we need to sustain ourselves.

Creating my own country and leading a slow life seems to have taken some shape, albeit a small one.

Come to think of it, I wonder how Grathias the Hero is doing?

Well, I should focus on my own path and journey.

"There's something I want to tell Mofrun."

"Yes?"

"I was part of the hero party in this country, the Turbant Kingdom. But I was expelled from that party. Furthermore, I was also banished from the Turbant Kingdom's Adventurer Guild. However, even before all that, I, along with Sui and the remaining magical dragons, and even some A-rank level monsters, used alchemy to create barriers."

"That's right, I couldn't move within Franz-sama's barrier."

"But then why did you lift the barrier?"

"After being expelled, I had worked tirelessly for the country, putting all my effort into maintaining the barrier, which requires immense magical power and stamina. But after my expulsion, I had a change of heart. I wanted to live freely. I stopped working for the country. So, I left the barrier intact only for the magical dragons, and I released the barriers on the other monsters. The A and S-rank monsters that were in the country are probably without barriers by now and causing havoc."
