Lord Chronicle

Chapter 273 Marlene's Diary

4/15

I have always been responsible for the food in the Lord's Mansion, which is what I am most proud of.Every time I see the young master eating up the food I made happily, there is nothing more gratifying than this.

Therefore, I have always believed that the kitchen is my private territory, and no one can invade it.

Only recently have I become less and less sure about this.reason?Naturally, it was because of Mira.

When the young master brought her here, he patted Mira's dirty head and said to me: "Marlene, I brought you a little friend, you are responsible for feeding her, hahaha..."

It's just that at that time, the young master and I didn't expect the price to be paid for these words.

The first time I noticed Mira's horrible appetite was when a large amount of ingredients disappeared from the storage room for three consecutive days.This kind of thing has happened before. That time, the hidden hamster, a magical beast in the mountain, secretly built a nest in the territory, and almost emptied all the wheat in the granary.

Later, the old lord sent everyone to dig the hidden hamster's hole, not only recovered most of the wheat, but also caught hundreds of fat hamsters, and everyone ate happily that winter.

So I told the young master my worries, but the young master showed a very strange expression.He took me to find Mira who was sleeping in the yard, and then dug out the missing ingredients from the hole under her body.

At that moment, for the first time, I felt that this black-haired girl was not that simple.

Although all the ingredients have been found, they can no longer be eaten because they have been buried in the ground for too long.There was no way, in order not to run out of potatoes for breakfast the next day, the young master had to urgently order another batch from Aunt Maisie.

However, Mira's terrible stomach obviously wouldn't be satisfied with it, so the young master had no choice but to take care of Mai Xi's business again and again for the storage room that kept becoming empty overnight.

Aunt Maisie, who earned gold coins and was soft-hearted, once came to thank Mira with a basket of delicious food. It is said that the young master's face was so ugly that day.

It's a pity that I happened to be away that day. It's unknown whether Aunt Maisie secretly encouraged Mira to make persistent efforts and eat as much as possible for the growth of her body, as rumored.

Anyway, from that day on, the young master gave me a lock, and then told me to close the door of the kitchen. I must protect the food in the kitchen like protecting my own life.

"I did this for the good of Mira. If a girl eats too much, she won't be able to get married." At that time, the young master said to me solemnly.

But I think he must be distressed by the skyrocketing food expenses.

No matter what, since the young master said so, I will do my best to protect the kitchen.

However, Mira's behavior has become more and more troublesome recently.

For some reason, her appetite was so strong during this time that I had to lock every window in the kitchen and tell her not to come near, so that I would not miss a single potato when I made breakfast the next day arrive.

Because of this, the young master happily touched my head and praised me for keeping the last bottom line of survival in the house.What is the bottom line of survival?It doesn't matter, as long as the young master is happy.

However, it wasn't until today that Uncle Lu Ya came to the door angrily, that we didn't know that Mira was really underestimated.

It turned out that during this period of time, although Mira stayed in the house obediently during the day, she had already ransacked half of the kitchens in the town at night.

If Mira hadn't dug up the cider buried by Uncle Luya the night before, and was caught drunk after drinking it all in the vat, the granary used for the winter might not be safe in winter.

After Uncle Lu Ya finished his complaint with tears, sister Jessica immediately pulled the young master to apologize together, and took out a lot of gold coins as compensation, and Uncle Lu Ya left happily.

Then, she angrily reprimanded Mira.Then, Mira ate Jessica's sister's favorite daffodil...

Seeing the empty flowerpot with only a few leaves left, sister Jessica was going crazy.The pot of narcissus was carefully planted by sister Jessica when the old lord was still there, and it had been placed on the window sill in the corner of the second floor of the house, but it was eaten up by Mira with flowers and roots. .

I have never seen sister Jessica so angry. She chased and beat Mira all over the house with a broom. I wanted the young master to persuade her, but the young master only said one sentence to me: "From now on, don't close the kitchen again. "

The young master is really great. It seems that in order to avoid further losses in the town, he intends to let Mira eat as much as he wants from now on.

I think Aunt Maisie should be the happiest for the young master to adopt Mira, right?

4/26

"Mira, please apologize to Sister Jessica."

I've been telling Mira this way since what happened last time.

But Mira can't speak, how should she apologize?Luckily she was a smart kid and figured it out on her own.

Since the young master gave up, the kitchen has completely opened the door to Mira.In fact, it is much easier to do this than to be on guard day and night. At least the young master only needs to pay God Mei Xi a sum of gold coins to replenish food every two days, and it is not troublesome at all.

Then it was said that the joyful Aunt Maisie came to the door again with a basket, but was tactfully driven away by the young master.It's a pity I wasn't there that day.

Ever since she didn't have to worry about food, Mira began to gradually extend her range of activities outside the town. Her favorite thing to do recently is to go to the mountains after eating and not come back for a few days.

At first I was very worried about her safety, but after the young master heard about it, he said that he was more worried about the monsters in the mountains.

The young master is really exaggerating, why should he be worried about monsters instead?Mira is just a girl.

Anyway, every time she comes back, Mira always brings back some weird things, such as the bones of monsters, beautiful feathers, colorful pebbles and so on.

But this time, what she brought back was a seedling of a flower, and handed it to Sister Jessica herself.

Look, let me say that Mira is very smart. She can't say it, but she apologizes to sister Jessica with practical actions.

Sister Jessica was also very happy. She forgave Mila, and then took out the flowerpot without the narcissus and planted the seedlings in it.

We don't know what kind of flower this is. Although it is only a seedling, it is already very beautiful.The red flower stems, purple leaves, and only a small flower bud at the top, turned out to be as golden as the sun.

Sister Jessica also loves it very much, and she has taken good care of it since that day, but with the lesson of last time, she will never leave flowers on the windowsill again.

I think it must be able to bloom very beautiful flowers.

5/7

That flower seedling grew so fast, it grew to a height of more than one meter in just ten days, and the flower pot almost couldn't fit it.But just as I thought, the golden flower buds at the top are simply beautiful.

Now, I just want to see how it blooms.

But in the past few days, Mira is always wandering around the flower pots, sometimes drooling while looking at the flower buds.God, did she become addicted to eating flowers last time?

Sister Jessica also noticed this, so she asked the young master to help, and moved the flowers to her bedroom with great pains.

It's a pity that you can't see it at first sight when it is blooming.

It's just a little strange recently, the cockroaches and mice in the house are all gone.

The Lord's Mansion is a very old house. It is said that it was built by the old Lord's grandfather's generation. Because the house is very dilapidated, there are many small things living there.

However, recently, I can't even see a cockroach.

It's a good thing though, without the rats, I don't have to worry about stealing food from the kitchen any more than Mira.

However, I always feel that something is not quite right.

5/11

The mystery was finally revealed.

A few days ago, sister Jessica had a cold, her nose was blocked, and she couldn't sleep well at night, so when she was sleeping in a daze last night, she heard a strange sound coming from the corner of the room.

In the past few days, in order to protect Mira, she always put flowers in the room, and the flower pot was placed in the corner where the sound came out.

At that time, sister Jessica thought that Mila could finally bear it and sneaked into her room.So she got out of bed quietly, took the candlestick and walked over, then suddenly lit the fire, ready to catch Mira.

Then, the young master and I both heard sister Jessica's scream.

When the young master and I arrived, sister Jessica was pointing at the potted flower in the corner with a panicked expression.The flowers haven't bloomed yet, and the beautiful flower buds are still hanging quietly, but...

Outside the flower bone, there is half a mouse's corpse!
Now, needless to say, I know that the disappearance of cockroaches and mice these days is related to this flower.

The young master called for Brother Boqi, the vice-captain of the defense team, who is the most knowledgeable person in the territory about monsters.When he saw the potted flower for the first time, his expression changed.

Later, we learned what a terrible thing Mira picked up.

That flower is called "Dream Demon Flower", and it is the most dangerous Warcraft plant.According to Boqi, this flower will release a hypnotic gas, hypnotizing all the creatures in its territory, and then automatically send them to the door to become food. As the flower grows bigger, the area it can control will increase.

Since it is not yet fully grown, it cannot eat something as big as a human, so it can only emit gas at night to hypnotize us all, and then eat up all the mice around the house.

No wonder we haven't noticed anything unusual these days.

Fortunately, sister Jessica was not fully hypnotized because of a cold and stuffy nose in the past two days, so she discovered its secret.

Brother Boqi said that if it takes another month, when the flower is fully grown, everyone in the house will be unable to escape.

So the young master cut off the flower bone without hesitation, and then burned it to ashes.

I think, from now on, sister Jessica will never dare to plant flowers of unknown origin, right?

5/31

Although we all almost became the manure of the Dream Demon Flower, Mira still likes to pick up things at home. It seems that this has become her habit, but recently her interest has become the eggs of monsters.

Big ones, small ones, round ones, oval ones, white ones, black ones, ones with beautiful patterns... Every time she comes back from the outside, she will bring back some weird eggs.

However, with the lessons learned from last time, the young master is resolutely unwilling to keep these suspicious things, and each time they are directly handed over to me to make breakfast for the next day.

I once asked the young master, why not try to hatch the eggs, if there are precious monsters inside, the young master only needs to sign a contract with them, won't the young master have powerful bodyguards when they grow up?

Even if you sell it for money, you can still make up part of Mira's meal expenses, right?

After hearing my words, the young master just snorted, looked out of the window and said, "Little Marlene, you won't understand. If I have such a good character, why would I be here?"

At that moment, I felt that the young master's eyes were so melancholy.

But what is character?Does it have something to do with the stuff in the egg?

No matter, since the young master said so, then I will try to make these eggs delicious.

until…

Yesterday, Mira came back from the mountains again. Apart from being covered in mud, she also brought back a red egg. Holding it in her hand, she felt a little hot.

"It's so beautiful."

This was the first sentence that sister Jessica said after seeing the egg.But she seemed to immediately think of the beautiful Dream Demon Flower last time, so she gave it to the young master again.

"It's cooked." The young master said simply.

So this morning, I threw the eggs into the pot and prepared to make boiled eggs for the young master.

After being served on the table for a long time, the eggs are still hot, hot to the touch, and the shells are so red that they are about to burn.

It seemed that the young master also found it very strange, so he hesitated for a long time, probably convinced that his "personality" was not very good, so he finally decided to eat it.

Then, it's bad...

The young master happily cracked open the eggshell, but there was no boiled egg white inside, but a small thing jumped out quickly and fell on the table.

It was the size of a fist, fiery red like a little fox, but what surprised me was that it stood on two feet, and a small flame was burning on its feet.

At that moment, all of us were stunned, the young master and sister Jessica turned even paler, and were even more frightened than seeing the Dream Demon Flower last time.

At that time, the young master was stunned for a moment, then carefully lay down on the table, and stretched out his hand to the little thing: "Little boy, don't be afraid, come to big brother, I won't hurt you."

It's just that the table was full of tableware at that time, and the young master was still holding a fork in his hand. I think if it was smart enough, it would not believe the young master's words, right?

However, that little thing is really that smart.

It tilted its head to look at the young master, then looked at the egg shells still on the plate, and suddenly screamed, it shot a stream of flames at the young master.

Then, everything went haywire.

I have never seen such a scary baby. Although the flames emitted are very small, everything it touches will burn immediately.The young master tried to catch it with a pot, but his butt was burned, and he ran around the room in pain. Jessica had to pick up a glass of milk and chase after him.

Just when things were about to get out of hand, Mira, who had been sleeping all the time, fell from the sky and swallowed the crazy little thing into her stomach, thus avoiding the tragedy of burning the whole house.

I found out later that the little thing was the cub of a monster called Huoxie. It seemed to be very precious, but somehow Mira picked it up.

It is said that this kind of monster needs a very high temperature to hatch, because I planned to cook it, but it broke out of its shell by accident.

Although the house was not burned down, but after hearing that the little thing was eaten by Mira, the young master had a heartbroken expression, and sat at the door all day, looking at the sky, and kept repeating: "Character, this is a good thing!" It's just a matter of character..."

Strange, what exactly is character?

6/14

After the monsters he picked up last time nearly burned the house down, the young master strictly forbade Mira to pick up similar things, at least not to bring them home.

But since then, Mira's interest has turned to all kinds of weird stones, and now the house is full of small stones she picked up.

Although it is more difficult to clean up, but I think it is not bad, the stone will not bring any "surprise" again, will it?

By the way, the recent diaries are all about Mira, so let’s write about something else today.

In my mind, the young master has always been the best lord, but sister Jessica doesn't think so.Because, she always said that the young master is too lazy.

Is the young master lazy?Although I always see sister Jessica buried in her work in the study, the young master seldom sees anyone, but being a lord is great, maybe the young master is busy with other things.

Then I will write about what happened a few days ago.

When it was almost noon that day, I was preparing lunch in the kitchen when the young master suddenly rushed in in a panic.I thought he was hungry and wanted to find something to eat, but the young master looked around and jumped into the large empty water tank in the corner.

"Marlene, if Jessica asks, just say you haven't seen me." The young master said to me halfway out of the water tank, and then closed the lid.

Sure enough, sister Jessica also came after a while.

"Marlene, have you seen the lord?"

"No." Remembering what the young master said, I shook my head.

"Damn it, there's a lot of official documents to be signed, and I'm missing you. I have to catch you today." Sister Jessica had no choice but to leave angrily.

After she left, the young master climbed out of the water tank: "It's too dangerous, it seems that I can't come back for lunch today. Marlene, after the meal is ready, send it to me in the woods behind the mountain."

"Remember, no one can tell, especially Jessica, understand?" Finally, he told me solemnly.

From the looks of it, the young master didn't show up for the first time during lunch, which surprised sister Jessica, so when I went out with my lunch bag, I happened to meet her standing at the gate of the yard.

"Marlene, what's in the basket?" Sister Jessica asked me.

"It's a bento."

"Who is it for? Mira is at home." Sister Jessica asked strangely.

Because I promised the young master, I didn't know how to answer, but sister Jessica immediately guessed: "Is it for the lord?"

Young master, I really didn't betray you.

"Where is he?" Sister Jessica asked.

I still can't answer, because I promised the young master.

Seeing that I didn't speak, sister Jessica grabbed the basket angrily: "Don't send it, I'll starve him a few times, hum, I want to see how long he can hide outside."

I dare not snatch it back, but I can't let the young master go hungry. It seems that I have to wait for sister Jessica to calm down, and then find a chance to secretly send it away.

Sister Jessica seemed to know what I was thinking. She said, "I know you care about him the most. Even if I confiscate the bento, you will find a way to secretly deliver food to him later, right?"

Sister Jessica is really smart.

She thought for a while, then suddenly said to me: "Forget it, I won't stop you, but you have to help me bring him something."

As she said that, she went back to the house and came out with a basket after a while.When I took it, I felt it was heavy, as if it contained a lot of things.

"Give this to the lord, and you have to watch him 'eat' all the contents with your own eyes." Sister Jessica put the word "eating" very seriously.

"Although she is angry on the surface, it turns out that sister Jessica is also worried about the young master." I thought so at the time.

So, I went out with two baskets.

When he found the young master, the young master was lying outside the woods in the back mountain and taking a nap, the corners of his mouth were drooling, and he didn't know that he would almost miss lunch.

After I woke him up, the young master eagerly opened the basket, grabbed the sandwich and ate it.

"What's that?" While eating, the young master pointed to another basket and asked.

"Sister Jessica asked me to bring it to you."

Hearing this, the young master was stunned, and even forgot to chew what was in his mouth.After a long time, he opened the basket with trembling hands, and then immediately closed it again as if seeing something terrible.

"What did she say?" The young master asked with a pale face.

"Sister Jessica told me that I must watch you eat up the contents with my own eyes." I tried to recall.

"God, kill me!" The young master immediately yelled and fell on the grass.

I opened the basket curiously, only to find that there was no food in it, but a large stack of thick official documents, a bottle of ink and a quill.

That afternoon, the young master honestly handled all the official documents outside the woods, and finally had to rely on me to support him to walk home.

Anyway, since then, although he still often avoids sister Jessica, he never asked me to deliver food again.

Later, when I told this story to Sister Kafir, she only replied with one sentence.

Deserve it.
