387 Bear-san Departs for the City of Dwarves (2/2)

After taking out the bear house, I turned Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear into cubs and head inside. Then, while heating the water in the bath, we started preparing meals. I got some edible wild plants, so I decided to make vegetable tempura, though it’s a little troublesome.

By the way, since I am wearing my bear equipment, it is okay if the oil splashes, and because I am wearing the bear puppets, my hands will not get oiled. It’s a total defense.

I cut vegetables, add flour and fry in oil. It can be fried as is, but today I have edible wild plants, so I’ll add flour and fry it.

Carrots, potatoes, peppers, and other vegetables are in the bear box. I bought a lot when I went to the village and the royal capital, also in Crimonia. After all, it’s a hassle to go buy it later, and sometimes it’s out of stock. It is my principle to buy a lot at one time.

And since we have Ruimin with us, I decided to add squid tempura that she had never eaten before. Creating the tempura of forest and seafood.

[Yuna-oneesan, I’ll help out.] Fina

[Well then, I’ll do the frying, so can you put them on a plate?] Yuna

[Okay.] Fina

Fina offered her help. Ruimin who was watching us also came to me.

[Yuna-san, what about me?] Ruimin

[…Just sit down.] Yuna

I answered after thinking a bit.

[U~u, that’s mean.] Ruimin

[It’s just a joke. Even if I want to, there’s just nothing I need help with.] Yuna

It’s not like we need three people to make tempura. It’s just tempura after all.

[Ruimin can help me next time, so you should just play with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear for now.] Yuna

Ruimin glanced at Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, who have turned into bear cubs.

[Well, it’s a very attractive proposal. Even so, I can’t just enjoy it while you are busy making dinner…] Ruimin

While saying such a thing, she’s staring at Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear in cub-form rolling around.

[Then, can you help me clean up after the meal?] Yuna

[…I see, then please tell me if you need any help.] Ruimin

That was a compromise, then Ruimin started playing with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.

Then, the preparation for dinner was completed safely, and we had a conversation while eating tempura. At first, Ruimin was surprised that the rice was different from barley rice, but she enjoyed eating it.

[That’s right. Yuna-oneesan, what did you do for the village? No matter how much I ask Ruimin-san, she won’t tell me. I’m worried because Ruimin-san said Yuna-oneesan has done something for the village but she’s not telling me what it is. I’m very curious.] Fina

[Because if I talk about it, I will get a laughing hell.] Ruimin

Ruimin answered Fina’s question while eating carrot tempura.

But about what? How much can she disclose without getting the laughing hell?

The content of the contract is . In that case, contract magic may be activated if I want the contents to be kept secret. In fact, what do I think of the events in the elf village?

[I don’t know, why don’t you try it Ruimin?] Yuna

[No thank you!] Ruimin

Ruimin refused in a loud voice. I wanted to experiment, but it didn’t seem to work.

[Well, maybe you can say it if it’s Fina.] Yuna

Maybe my contract will not activate if they have my permission. It would be a problem if it gets activated regardless.

[Yuna-san trusts Fina-chan, doesn’t she?] Ruimin

[Yeah, well. I know Fina isn’t a kid who breaks her promise. I wholeheartedly trust her.] Yuna

[Yuna-oneesan…] Fina

[That’s why Fina will never tell anyone the story she’ll hear from Ruimin.] Yuna

[Okay.] Ruimin

[Oh, but if you ask me, Fina, it might be troublesome for you, you know?] Yuna

Talking means knowing about the cockatrice. Until now, I’ve been holding myself because I thought it would surprise her. Once she knew about it, I can freely ask Fina to dismantle the cockatrice.

[What’s the big deal!?] Ruimin

[What is it? What are you talking about?] Fina

Fina begins to worry about the meaning behind my words.

[…U~u, I want to hear it.] Fina

Don’t say I didn’t warn you. When Fina says so, Ruimin began to talk about what I did in the elven village.

Ruimin talks about Volgrass and Cockatrice, which she heard from Mumuruto-san. The moment Fina hears cockatrice, she stops eating.

[…Yuna-oneesan. Don’t tell me, you’re planning to make me dismantle the cockatrice?] Fina

Fina asks terrifyingly.

[Because I can’t do it.] Yuna

I tried imitating Talia-san.

[That’s impossible!] Fina

Fina practically screamed.

That’s why I warned you that it would be troublesome once you know.

Author’s Note:

The flag is broken. It’s going well.

Finally, Fina knew about cockatrice.

However, if it’s ever to be dismantled, it seems that it won’t be in the near future.
