#434 Before the Ceremony: Garra Rufa
I am Garra Rufa, one of the Six Witches and called the Witch of the Plague.
...Haa.
It has been so long ever since I came here...
An event occurred that made me realize the passage of time—Puffer’s marriage.
It’s the Puffer, you know?
She was the most stubborn and most intimidating of the Six Witches, but now, she’s getting married.
It’s something I never imagined when we first met....

The Betta family has four children.
Wild, the first son.
Hendra, the second son.
Delta, the third son.
And Crowntail, the youngest daughter.
Of these four, three have grown up to live up to the family’s reputation.
Wild is at the top of his game in everything. Crowntail, although a girl, is blessed with military prowess and is studying at the prestigious Mermaid Witch Academia and is sure to become an imperial guard after graduation....

“Will you marry me?”
“Yes.”
I am Hendra, a controversialist.
And I have one of the greatest mistakes in my life.
A woman proposed to me first.
My sweetheart, Lampeye, is an outstandingly talented witch.
While I was troubled about whether I was suited for her, she confessed her feelings.
Confessing is the man’s duty. I’m ashamed of myself for not fulfilling that.
Alas, I could onl...

It’s me again.
I wonder how things are going for Bacchus?
After we made the oden, I came up with the idea of how to market it.
Bacchus wanted to organize a big event like the expo and serve alcohol and oden to many people, but I disagreed.
After all, drinkers make the most noise and eventually go out of control during events.
That’s the same thing that happened at the expo.
So, this time, I thought, why not tr...

My name is Sabbath, and I am proud to be the heaviest drinker in all of Demon Kingdom.
I’ve drunk every kind of alcohol in the world and know what they taste like.
That’s all I can be proud of.
That is why I cannot sit idly when I hear word about a new brew.
No matter where it is sold, I have to get to that place ASAP and have a drink.
It was the same back then.
For the first time in several years, an expo was...

So, we talked about adding an appetizer to accompany alcoholic beverages.
But it doesn’t seem to be that serious a problem.
Our farm has produced a variety of goods, and that includes the dish in question.
Edamame goes well with beer.
Cheese goes well with wine.
It seems enough just to add those things, but they can’t go with every drink.
I mean, beer and wine aren’t the only alcohol there is.

While the mermaids’ celebrations continue, there are still unresolved issues smoldering under the farm.
In fact, there are many.
Today, we’re visiting the sake brewery to resolve one of them.
It’s one of the many facilities on our farm that produces all kinds of sake and vinegar under Bacchus’ supervision.
Working there are his Maidens.
They drink alcohol and believe it is the joy of life.

#427 Mermaid After Mermaid – Sequel
And so, the marriage was finalized. Prince Arowana and Puffer are to be officially together.
Still, it will take a little more time to prepare for the wedding, but once the ceremony is actually held, Puffer will move into the mermaid palace.
The day has come when someone is finally graduating from our farm.
I’m both sad and deeply moved...!
Puffer devoted her remaining time here to mentoring...

And so, this and that began.
A contest—a merciless one-on-one battle for the position of fermented food department head between Discus and Angel.
“Discus! I know we’re friends; but not today! We will fight each other fair and square with all our might!”
“Ahaha...!”
Discus smiles wryly.
They’re part of the Five Legitimate Holy Witches who came uninvited to our farm, so they must know each other pretty well.

#425 Fermentation’s Successor
Thus, Puffer and Prince Arowana’s marriage have finally become official.
Three cheers for the couple!
Many other residents also shower them with applause in celebration.
“Congratulations!”
“Congrats!”
“I wish you all the best.”
“Tsk.”
Who was that who clicked their tongue?
It was probably jealousy from someone who also wants to get married but can’t yet.
Anyway, let...

Dejected after seeing Puffer’s hopeless state, I went to see someone else.
Mermaid Queen Mahi is currently having tea with her daughter, Platy.
“Aren’t you tormenting your daughter-in-law too much, Mom? Do you want to end up like those stereotypical mean mother-in-laws?”
“Harsh as always, my dear Platy. But this must be done. Once Arowana gets married, he won’t belong to me anymore. The precious son I gave birth to will become another woman...

Platy’s strategy was regrettably not enough to surmount the situation.
“Ngh... And I thought this would work...!”
She looks frustrated, but I’d say she did well for trying hard till the end.
After all, the queen declared that she’d permit the wedding if her last ordeal was cleared.
Being the current queen, Mrs. Mahi wouldn’t do something as foul as to take back her words. Nor does she want her children to hate her...

Mermaid Queen Mahi.
Wife of His Majesty Nagus and mother to Prince Arowana and Platy.
Despite her esteemed status, she has a vigorous mind and body, an elegant and ladylike demeanor, and is independent and strong.
Queen Mahi is most concerned about Puffer and Prince Arowana’s marriage, which is the current issue.
Since ancient times, in-law conflict has been an integral part of marriages, and this couple’s case is no exception.

Yep, it’s me.
Let’s quickly put into action the goal we have set for this year.
What? It’s too late for that?
Don’t be so harsh. I have a lot of things to do, too, and I have to do them chronologically.
Anyway, here is this year’s goal: get Prince Arowana and Puffer married.
Many couples have found their match here that we’re almost like a match-making farm.
Among them, Prince Arowana and Puffer ...

“How could you give us this?!” I shout on behalf of all of us.
My sister Veil served us an unbelievable dish.
The broth was made by boiling a dragon for a long time in a pot, and that extract was the secret ingredient!
What nonsense!

Even Sis Mary is throwing up.
And Father’s face is turning paler and paler.

I’m Ardheg.
Prince Arowana is my best friend.
I am a dragon, and he is a mermaid. But our differences in race cannot sever the bond we have forged from traveling and experiencing hardships together.
Above all, Prince Arowana is a great man.
When I was a mere Glintz Dragon, the test given to me in the Geyser Dragon succession struggle was to find a “champion who is not a hero” or a “hero who is not a champion”.

We all tasted the plain ramen.
There’s no extra garnishing since it’s still a sample product.
Besides, we don’t have chashu, menma, nitatamago, bean sprouts, and other ingredients that are used as ramen garnishes.
I think this will be a good opportunity to procure them soon.
For now, I’ll sprinkle some chopped green onions...
“BON APPETIT!”
Veil, Platy, and I tried it at once.

“I want a new power.”
“What’s this all of a sudden?”
I was perplexed by Veil’s request.
Veil is a dragon, the strongest race.
Except for her brother, Alexander, I might say that she’s the strongest of them all.
Why would she seek more power now despite this fact?
“How ambitious can you get, seriously?”
Can’t you direct that toward working on the farm instead?

Ever since the professor officially took residence on our farm, he has been sighted everywhere.
They say cats can get anywhere as long as they can poke their heads through.
Although, he doesn’t go near the living room, bedrooms, bath, or wherever he can get wet.
When he meows while I’m cooking in the kitchen, it gets pretty noisy.

And so, a cat took up residence on our farm.
Or a Lifeless King, to be exact.
The professor is the strongest member of the Three Wise and One Foolish and is also the oldest, at 4,000 years old.
His age even surpasses Sensei’s.
Such a description alone would scare people into thinking what a terrifying opponent he is, but in reality, he’s a cat.
Right now, he’s napping under the sun.

On my way home after finishing farm work, I find it licking its hind legs on the wayside.

“Indeed, it is.”
I checked with Gobukichi accompanying me.
No doubt that’s a cat.
So cute.

Hello, I am Ritheseus of the human race.
It has been quite some time since I moved to Lord Saint’s farm to train and study.

During the winter, we helped with the expo and Orkubo’s Castle.
We even took part in suppressing the rebellion that happened in between.

To my surprise, this Patreon and the blog have already accumulated a 230-chapter gap over the course of a year, so I was thinking of stopping the daily updates and downgrading to a weekday-only posting. That's 20-22 chapters from the original 30-31 monthly.

Please don’t put into words what just happened, it makes me feel even more bitter...!
Meanwhile, Junior has an “I can do better than that” look on his face.
Does he think he’ll be joining us next year?
