Rihito scratched his head, seeing Hajime ignore him and walk off towards the Kraken. His expression said he didn't want to hear anything more.
"Guess I went overboard again," Rihito muttered to himself.
"Papa, you are back."
I heard the familiar voice calling out. Looking to my left, I saw Myu running toward me. I crouched down, taking her into my arms.
"Myu."
"Papa, look. We made a sandcastle," Myu said, pointing at the sandcastle.
"..."
[A three-story-long sandcastle, huh?]
Seeing the sandcastle that was definitely not there a few hours ago, I nodded at Myu and said, "Good job; you did awesome."
Rihito completely disregarded the fact that the sandcastles were not supposed to be that large. Hell, it even had a wall surrounding it and a docking entrance.
"Hehehe…" Myu smiled, hearing the praise.
"So, did Shea and others help you build that?" I asked.
Myu smiled brightly and nodded in excitement, "Yeah, big sister Shea, Tohru, Shizuku and others helped me."
"I see. Then, how about you show me around?"
Myu, smiling brightly, dropped from my arms, grabbed my hand, and dragged me towards the castle.
"Let's go, I will show you."
"Slow down, or you will fall," I said seeing her excited self.
As Rihito approached the sandcastle's entrance, the girls were on their way out hearing the sudden commotion outside.
Shea, walking ahead, said, "There he is."
"You don't need to point it out. I can see myself," Shizuku retorted.
"Master, welcome back," Tohru greeted.
Rihito noticed that Shea, Shizuku, and Tohru were all wearing swimsuits. Shea wore a sky-blue bikini that emphasized her figure, while Shizuku sported a black bikini that highlighted her curves without being too revealing. On the other hand, Tohru chooses a more modest look, wearing a pink bikini.
"How do we look?" Shea asked, posing.
Seeing them wearing those, I nodded, "You guys look great in that." he only managed to say those words before Myu started to drag him into the castle.
"Let's go, papa…"
"Yeah, wait a second."
Seeing him leave, the girls sighed.
Shea said, "It seems he is in papa mode."
"Yeah, he is…" Shizuku nodded.
Shizuku then saw Tohru leaving towards the camp. "Where are you going?"
"Hmm, ah, I am going to cook."
…
Myu led me through the castle and showed me the entire place. While the exterior resembled a traditional castle, it was surprisingly compact, limited to only three stories. The interior also reflected this three-story design. In addition to constructing the castle itself, they designed the furniture and decorations, all made of sand, which I suspected was the work of Yue.
"Papa, please sit here." Myu placed me on a sand sofa by the window and then jumped onto my lap.
We then happily chatted about some trivial things till she fell asleep.
…
..
.
"Mama"
Seeing her muttering in her sleep, I caressed her head.
As the sun started to set, inside the sand castle, it started to get dark. Rihito used Fire Magic to illuminate the room.
"Myu, get up, it's dinner time."
"Umm… " Myu rubbed her eyes and woke up.
We then headed outside to the camp where dinner awaited us.
…
"Master, eat up." Tohru placed a large piece of meat.
"..."
I looked at Tohru, who eagerly watched over me.
[Sigh, it's about time I have to deal with this.]
Myu, sitting beside Rihito, looked over my plate. "Papa, can I also have that?"
Myu asked innocently.
"Myu, I made this especially for you." I quickly placed a plate of carp that I cooked.
"Really? Yeah." With a smile, she took a bite.
"Mmmmmhh, it's so tasty," Myu happily ate.
Now that Myu was distracted. He put his attention towards the plate in front of him.
I grabbed my knife and fork and cut into it, as everyone watched with curiosity.
…
"It's been a while since I ate seafood"
Hajime ate the roasted octopus, noticing the increase in his strength. It had been a while since he felt this sensation. He felt satisfied to see this improvement.
Yue saw Hajime happily eat the octopus and asked, "Should I also eat."
"If you want to avoid a severe case of indigestion where it feels like your body is about to explode from excessively corroding mana, then don't." Taking another bite, Hajime warned.
"Hah, hah, Master that sounds so delightful. How about you feed it to me? I am sure, It will feel much better. Hah, hah." Tio panted thinking about the agony she would feel.
Hajime behaved like he heard nothing and focused on his status plate seeing the increasing number.

While Hajime looked over his status. Yue pondered and responded, "I should be fine. I do have the
"Hmm… I guess it could work."
Kaori, sitting on the other side of Hajime, suddenly asked, "Hajime, what kind of meat is that? For some reason, just looking at it gives me the Shivers."
He looked ahead at the piece of meat placed in front of Rihito, which was for some reason exuding a dangerous aura.
[What the hell is that? Did I miss something?]
Hajime looked at Yue, who had a similar expression to his.
It looks like he was not the only one missing something.
[Seriously, where did he get that meat? And why is he eating it alone?] Hajime thought to ask Rihito later.
…
I examined the texture of the roasted tail meat. Before eating it, I used the skill
[Alright]
With that, I put the meat in my mouth.
"Munch munch"
The moment I took my first bite, the meat melted in my mouth, flooding my taste buds with its rich flavour.
My brows rose up [Damn, what is this taste? This is too good.]
I took another piece and put it in my mouth. The flavour was a combination of lamb and chicken, which I found very appealing. As I took my second bite, I was surprised by a sudden heat spreading through my body.
[What is this heat I'm feeling?]
I clenched my fist and, as expected, I felt my strength increase once more. I anticipated an increase in my strength, but the increase was greater than I thought. It was clear that Tohru was on a completely different level compared to the monsters of this world.
I pulled my status card to see the numbers.
"Holy shit. It's over 9000," I unconsciously blurted out.
"..."
Hearing the sudden exclamation, everyone turned to look at me.
"Cough."
"Don't mind my rambling."
I focused back on my status and saw that each of my statuses had increased by 9,000. The increase was absurd.
I put the card back in the item box and went back to eating.
Tohru's eyes sparkled as she watched Rihito happily eating her meat as if it were the best thing ever. It was done; she had finally made Rihito eat her meat, effectively making him her mate. However, she realized she would have to explain this to him, well, she can do that later. For now, she was contained seeing him eat.
She suddenly had a thought about what her friends would think of Rihito; she was sure they would be shocked. And why wouldn't they? For a dragon, choosing a life partner is a significant decision. Dragons typically select only one companion to share their lives with, and since they can live for thousands of years, they cannot afford to make a hasty choice. Usually, selecting a human would be considered a foolish decision, but after observing Rihito for an extended period, Tohru believes he is not like ordinary humans. Not only was he strong, but He likely has the potential to stay with her for a long time. With this conviction, Tohru has made her decision: she will take Rihito as her mate, and she intends to do it properly.
She planned to feed him her meat. Normally, if an ordinary person eats dragons' meat, they will explode because of mana overload. This made Tohru hesitate to act, but when she saw Rihito eat monster meat without any side effects and after the incident in the desert, she made up her mind.
[That's it, he is the one.] Tohru had thought
Now that Rihito had eaten her meat and showed no sign of problem, it was settled that Rihito was her mate, making them married. The only thing remaining is to consummate their marriage.
Thinking about this made Tohru very happy. No words could explain the intensity of her feelings.
"Tohru"
"Yes, Master~"
"..."
While eating, Rihito observed Tohru and noticed her mood shift from anticipatory happiness to overflowing joy.
Rihito knew this change in mood was related to the meat, but he couldn't quite identify why. For some reason, making him enjoy her meat seemed to bring her so much happiness.
Why is that? He didn't understand.
(a/n: Dude, you are not thinking hard enough. Use Archmage and think again.)
"Tohru, it's about time you tell me what the meaning of me, eating your tell meat is." Rihito looked at Tohru with seriousness.
Tohru smiled brightly and responded, "In dragonic culture, it's a marriage ritual for dragons."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Everyone fell silent and looked at Tohru, and then shifted towards Rihito, then again towards Tohru.
Tio slams her fist in her palm and nods in understanding. "I thought so. My grandfather once told me it was an ancient ritual that we dragon men used to do. It is a sign of submission before declaring they were together."
""Say what??!!" Shea and Shizuku's flabbergasted screams reverberated throughout the beach.
