After taking care of the turnips I was about to return to Erucy when Kemin called out to .
Cyril-niisama please co with to pick up the lunch snacks!
Oh, sure.
I had so ti til lunch and I had moved my doctor duties to the afternoon so I could lecture the Fire Foxes. This an I had so free ti.
Thanks Cyril-niisama~
And so I walked with Kemin towards the stream in the forest.
Kemin you took too long. Yukinos tired of waiting
Oh you brought Cyril-niisama? Kuros happy~
When we arrived by the banks of the river the silver fox Yukino, who had finished her deliveries, and the black fox Kurone were there.
We ca as quick as we could. Hurry and lets take a bath and get the stuff for lunch ready.
Got it.
Roger nano~
Waitbath?
In the mont I had stood there stunned they had thrown off their clothes. Just looking at them made feel cold.
I saw that the air around them was wavering a bit. It looked like they were using fire magic to warm themselves.
Yahoo~
Wait Kemin
Ahh, Kuros going too
And of all things the three of them leapt into the frigid midwinter river. They were surely raising the temperature of the water around them since they didnt look chilly at all as they rrily played in the water.
Cyril-niisama co on in!
Lets have a race!
Im fine with just watching.
If I copied them Id just end up freezing to death. I doubt there were many amongst the Fire Foxes that could do the sa thing as them either.
It was pretty easy to raise the temperature of a room, but trying to do the sa thing outside would drain your magic quickly. After all, even if you ward the air around you it would quickly disperse.
It would be even harder to warm up the water like they were currently doing. It required more energy than air and would flow past them in a mont. There was surely quite a lot of magical burden on them to perform this feat.
Kuu had said that the three of them had many expectations for their performance in the future. I can understand why.
Are you always doing this?
Un, we do it every day.
The water well is too crowded with people. If we co here then we dont have to wait or rush to finish.
Its our special spot nano~
Well of course it wasanyone who tried to use it without enough power would just die.
Even so, watching these children frolic in the water happily made happier. Ah, I wonder if the type of fox they were affected their developnt. I could see that the black fox Kurone was flat, the gold fox Kemin had small buds on her chest, and the silver fox Yukino had developed quite a bit.
Ah, Id just like to stay here and enjoy the happy sounds of them laughing and playing. I didnt feel guilty at all. I felt like a big brother watching over his little sisters growth. They ca here every day so maybe I would co to peekI an take a break. Maybe keep watch so nothing untoward happened.
Cyril-niisama look were gonna catch lunch
A competition. The winner gets the special seat.
Kuro wont lose nano
The three of them started looking serious. Despite being naked they didnt seem slovenly.
They all began concentrating on the water.
Ei
Kemin vigorously struck into the water and scooped her hand up. Then a river fishprobably a char flew into the sky towards the bank.
Watching that scene reminded of how a bear fished.
The Foxes were quite sensitive and were able to move with a good amount of instantaneous force. Yukino and Kurone also ended up catching fish one after another.
At this rate lunch would end up being quite luxurious.
After a while the three of them got up and left the water. They imdiately evaporated the water on their skin and magnificently lit their tails on fire.
This was a trait of the Fire Foxes where they would do so to remove any dirt and such from their tails. They were able to target everything except the tails themselves so they could do this without worry.
The winner for today was
uuu, lost by one
Kuro didnt do well
Today Yukino gets the special seat.
Once it was ti for lunch I started to leave but the three of them stopped and got to eat with them.
I was going to refuse, but the three of them looked like they were going to cry so I decided to go with them. Yukino got into my lap and rested her back against my chest. Her satisfied expression was simply too adorable.
Apparently the special seat was my lap.
Yukino~ Ill win next ti.
Kuro wont lose either nano.
It seed to be Kemins turn to cook as she began. She put plenty of goat milk into a pan with so barley and began to cook the freshly deboned fish with mushrooms and so salt.
Watching the Fire Foxes cook without even needing fire was always a surreal sight.
After a while she removed it from the heat and proudly took out so cheese.
Here we go. Lets put on a lot of cheese.
Hurry hurry!
Uwaa, cheese nano
Then she placed the cheese inside the pot. Maybe it was because they were more animal-like, but Fire Foxes preferred food that had animal proteins in them. Cheese was a big favorite.
If you added cheese to the barley porridge it would double in flavor and thickness. As this was a luxury only allowed to them every four days every Fire Fox drooled over the opportunity to eat it.
And so once Kemin mixed the cheese in a delicious sll wafted about.
Many people didnt like the sll of goat cheese, but I liked it quite a bit. There were so amongst the Fire Foxes that didnt like it much, but they seed to have gotten used to it.
