I Was Expelled From the Hero’s Party, but Because I Can Create Legendary-Class Items, My Territory Has Become the Strongest. C81

Chapter 81: Reconciliation with Spirits

"It's good to know that you're strong, Master. However, I was careless to enter the mountain where the spirit Dryad resides without permission. Certainly, my Fenrir clan has the custom of living in the remote lands. If I'm here, neither humans, demons, nor dragons bother us. No one comes here, so it's quiet. But from my clan, I had heard that a legendary spirit lives nearby. I also heard that they had encountered spirits in the past and had discussed not encroaching on each other's territories. I didn't tell you that I felt an unusual magical power when I went to the mountain; that was my mistake. I went to the mountain and took mushrooms and peppers without permission."

"I have to reflect on that too. I thought the mountain belonged to no one. Knowing there are spirit folk here and that the mountain is their territory, I won't intrude anymore."

Mushrooms and peppers are valuable and precious, but I can't just take things that belong to the spirit folk. If someone took crops from my farmland, I'd feel upset about it. I definitely need to reflect on this.

In the future, I need to remind myself.

"It's a shame... I really liked the dishes made by Franz-sama. Like mushroom rice seasoned with peppered meat. I won't be able to eat that anymore."

"Sui liked it too, as did I."

Sui and Mofurun remember my cooking and are sad they won't have it again. I'd like to make it again, but it might not be so easy.

It's a shame, but I can try making a different dish. Cooking isn't limited to just one.

"Cooking? Is Franz the one who cooks?"

"Yes, Franz-sama's cooking is exquisite. I have an idea! How about letting Ria try it? Have her come over, taste it, and she'll surely understand what I'm saying."

"Yes, yes! You won't know until you try it!"

"But, wouldn't it be a bother if I eat it?"

Sui and Mofurun recommended my cooking.

A bother?

Absolutely not. If the spirit folk want to eat, I'll cook! I still have mushrooms and pepper as ingredients, and I'm a bit hungry too. My opinion is that I'd like Ria to try it without a doubt.

"What are you saying? It's not a bother at all; I wholeheartedly welcome it. I still have mushrooms, pepper, and meat left. Come to the house and have a meal. I'd be delighted if you eat it since I've stolen ingredients too!"

However, there is a problem: being a wood spirit, Mofurun is quite large, even larger than a wolf in her current form. Entering the house at this size would be challenging. Perhaps it's better to eat outside.

"Oh, if Franz says so, I'll come into the house. I'm a spirit folk; I can take on a human form!"

Huh, what? Can she really take on a human form?
