Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

I'm hungry. I have a lot on my mind, but first I need to fill up.

I've been thinking for a long time, and my body is craving sugar. Since I've been thinking about it, I decide to make zenzai, which I've been planning to feed to Eryl.

I put azuki beans and water in a large pot that I borrowed from the Bertham family. A small fireball is put in the pot, and the water boils immediately. After a while, the water is discarded, and the pot is filled again with water and brought to a boil. That's enough for now to remove the astringency.

Now comes the real work. Slowly simmer the azuki beans. We make a pot with clay magic and light it with fire magic on the wood we have gathered. Adjust the heat to low and slowly, slowly, slowly....

I'm bored. I'm bored...very bored.

I check the status of the house in my free time. I noticed that I haven't acquired "lightning magic. The reason is that my master never taught me and I don't like thunder.

However, I have become a great demon king. How about not being able to handle thunder?" You can't even handle thunder for a demon king? Oh no! I can't live with that.

Since I'm here, I'll practice. My master says that magic is all about image. Imagine lightning. Poke, rumble, rumble... Pika-pika-pika, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba...

I can't do it at all. I can't get anything. The sky is clear without a cloud. I'm so depressed.

How does thunder sound? As I recall, you need thunderclouds, right?

I'll set up a U-shape ward and float it in the sky. Just like a tea table. I'll use water magic and fire magic to generate steam. On the ground, I put out a fire to heat it up. Then, ice magic is used to lower the temperature of the lid. After a while, the clouds turn black. And a few minutes later,

Pikachu! Crispy~!

We were able to generate a small thunderstorm. Somehow, I understood the principle. I checked the status, and found that it had "lightning magic level 3". What's the deal with LV3 all of a sudden?

Since I'm here, I try to fire a lightning bolt at him. I'm afraid of close range, so I try to hit it as far away from the target as possible. Lightning strikes a long way away....

Boom, bang, bang... ～～～～～

Well, I was in a real hurry. For a moment, everything went blank. Did it fall at close range? The sound was so loud, you know?

In case you're wondering, no damage to my body. I wanted to check the power of the thunder, but I had to see how the pot was doing. I still have to add water often, because it is getting low.

I check the status. It has "lightning magic level 5".

Daimaju, isn't he amazing? I woke up lightning twice, and then I got a skill canned. Oh, so that's why Daimaou is so strong?

While I was thinking about this, the azuki beans finally started to soften. It's time to take them out of the pot.

While discarding the boiling water, I transfer the azuki into another pot. Here comes the sugar! Remembering how my grandma used to make it, I add sugar by eye. Then add a pinch of salt.

Then add water again and bring it to a boil. After about 10 minutes on low heat, the zenzai was finally ready.

It's sweet. Delicious. I was hungry, but I was quite satisfied with my zenzai. I eat it, saying it's delicious. I eat and eat. I keep eating and eating.

I'm full. There's a lot left over, what should I do with it?

I got carried away and made a pot full of food, so there was quite a bit left over. However, it's not something that we can't have, so we can put it in the "infinite storage". You may be able to get some rice cakes somewhere. Then we can enjoy zenzai with rice cakes!

Enjoying a feeling of fullness for the first time in a long time, I think about the future. It's crazy that not even a single demon has attacked me, even though my status has improved. It seems that I really am an object of abhorrence to all creatures now. Perhaps the same is true for human beings. If so, how will I survive? What happens when the food I have on hand runs out? It would be possible to survive by eating plants from the forest, but how long would that last? I think about it, but I have no answer.

I'm stuck. I'm going to be depressed if I don't do something. I must change my mind. Well, now that I've become a demon king. Let's do something to refresh ourselves.

I stand up and strike a pose,

"I'll turn you into a wax figure too! Guhahahahahahahaha!"

I'm sorry. Let me go. I wanted to try it once. This is really a bummer!

Botto!

I hear something behind me. I turn around and see a white fox cub. What do you think? Do you want to be a wax figure?
