Several nights and days have come and gone since then.
The forest has been painted in autumn colors, and I’m a little surprised that the dungeon has seasons too.
I was wondering how that would affect the crops, but it doesn’t seem to be having an effect.
Firewood burns brightly, and I put a pile of fallen leaves on top.
Then I take out green sweet potatoes, and put them in the leaves.
Smoke rises, and the area starts smelling like roasted sweet potato.
The smell gets me hungry, and I hear a stomach growl. Fuuma’s.
Hinata is curious about the smoke coming from the leaves, and tries to charge at the leaves.
You idiot, I say while grabbing it.
And while not looking very energetic, Totaro looks on like it’s enjoying it.
Maybe it’s because of the change in season, but Totaro hasn’t been looking lively.
It eats like normal, and the magic energy and pressure in its body is the same, but I feel like it spends a lot of time sitting still.
I’m roasting sweet potatoes to cheer it up, but Fuuma and Hinata look more excited.
Well, I can’t complain, because it looks like Totaro is enjoying that.
Once they’re done, I remove the aluminum foil.
It’s the last of the aluminum foil in the storage space, so it’s the last time this will happen unless I return to the surface.
After having Fuuma test it for poison like always, I have a bite.
Yes, sweet and tasty.
It’s as good as sweet potatoes, and sweet enough that it could give me heartburn, but I’ll have as much as I can in this place with few sweet things.
I give two to Hinata, and the rest to Totaro.
“Guah.”
It opens its big mouth, and I throw them into it as I remove the foil.
Once half is in it, it chews. Then it opens its mouth again like it’s asking for more.
If its appetite is like this, maybe it was just sick for a while.
I’m relieved, and give it the rest.
This casual event was a plan to cheer it up, so I’m glad it went well.
My belly is swollen, and maybe it’s because I’m feeling relieved, but I get sleepy.
Fuuma, Hinata, and Totaro are also dozing off.
Yes, it’s that. Sweet potatoes have that sleep inducing effect.
I take Fuuma and Hinata to the mansion while I’m still awake, and pass out on the carpet.
And when I wake up, I see Totaro shed its skin.
