Every morning, Chris, Marie, and I have made it a daily routine to make lunch boxes for everyone who is undergoing the trials. This morning, I got up early and stood in the kitchen, thinking about the nu for today.

“What are we making today, Rio?”

“It’s been getting colder these days, hasn’t it? So, sothing warm should be good. However, by the ti we eat our lunch, it will have gotten cold.”

If you use the fire magic stone, you can heat up the food. However, magic stones are a luxury item. You can’t just extravagantly use luxury items like that.

“It’s possible to keep the food warm by using fire magic stones, but it will be difficult obtaining them as the season gets colder.”

Marie puts her hand on her chin, contemplating.

Winter is coming in full force. The winters in the Marquis de Grandeur, which is located to the north of the Kingdom of Findalia, are very harsh. In order to prepare for winter, firewood and fire magic stones are essential. However, fire magic stones are quite expensive, so only wealthy rchants and aristocrats can afford them. In our family, we will only use fire magic stones when we are entertaining guests.

In the lord’s mansion, all the windows are sealed with double layers to protect us during the winter. And, in the rooms, fireplaces and wood-burning stoves are continuously kept burning during the winter months. Although other aristocrat hos are slightly different than ours, they should have also taken similar asures.

“Then, how about a hot pot?”

Tojurou-san said, walking into the kitchen.

“Good morning, Tojurou-san. What is a hot pot?”

“Good morning, Yurie. A hot pot is a Hinoshima dish composed of stewed at, fish, and vegetables.”

In short, it’s a stewed dish of sorts. I don’t know how to make it, but it’s…...

There was a sign of a person at the kitchen entrance. Turning my face to look, I saw the head butler who greeted us, saying, “Good morning, everyone,” and then faced Tojurou-san.

“I’m sorry to interrupt you guys. But, there is soone here who claims to be an acquaintance of Tojurou-sama.”

It seems that there is a custor who has co to visit Tojurou-san.

“Do I know them? Did they ntion their na?”

“It was a woman who calls herself by the na of Kujo.”

Tojurou-san frowned when he heard the na.

“Geez! It’s that guy! How’d she know I was here?”

Tojurou-san left the kitchen in a hurry with the head butler.

“Tojurou-san, do you know them?”

“You said it was a woman.”

Thinking a little bit, I ca up with an answer. I looked at Chris and saw her staring at , too. It seems that Chris and I ca to the sa conclusion.

““His fiancee!?””

“No!”

Tojurou-san yelled, imdiately interrupting us. He’s already back. He’s quick!

Behind Tojurou-san was a woman. She had lustrous black hair with beautiful eyes that looked like obsidian. She looks to be about 16-17 yrs old. And, she was wearing a long skirt over a long kimono similar to Tojurou-san’s.

“She is my childhood friend.”

Tojurou-san says, pointing to the woman in a grumpy mood. The woman smiled and bowed gracefully.

“It’s a pleasure to et you. My na is Kujo Gasumikikuno.”

She said, in a Hinoshima style greeting, with a bow rather than a curtsy. If she’s a childhood friend of Tojurou-san, does that an she’s from Hinoshima? Anyways, what a difficult na.

“Kujo Gasmikikuno? It’s a pleasure to et you. My na is Katariona Yurie Grandeur.”

I said, greeting her in the Hinoshima style rather than a curtsey style. It’s supposed to be a bowing gesture where you lean your upper body and bow towards the other person.

“Oh? You’ve got beautiful pronunciation. It must be difficult to pronounce my Hinoshima na, so please just call Kikuno.

Kikuno-sama smiled and turned her head towards the kitchen entrance. Following Kikuno-sama’s line of sight, I saw Leon peeking at us from behind. Kya! So cute!

“It’s been a while, hasn’t it, God of the Forest?”

“I thought it might be, but it was your presence I felt, wasn’t it?”

Tojurou-san looked in wonder at Kikuno-sama and Leon.

“What? You two know each other?”

“I’ve told you before, didn’t I? There’s a god who transford into a human. This is the forr earth goddess.”

“““Whaaaaaaaaaatt!!!!!”””

Chris, Marie, Tojurou-san, and I all shouted, our surprised voices overlapping.

◇◇◇

After we had cald down from the shock, we each introduced ourselves to Kikuno-sama. Kikuno-sama was very polite and smiled the whole ti.

After the introductions, we decided to ask Kikuno-sama to teach us how to make a hot pot, as she knew how to make it.

“Haa, so Kikuno is the forr earth goddess of this country? I couldn’t sense any divinity from her at all.”

Tojurou-san muttered while chopping vegetables. He doesn’t look like it, but he’s surprisingly a good cook.

“I’m concealing my divinity because it’d be troubleso if the gods of Hinoshima were to take notice.”

It seems that the Hinoshima Kingdom has its own gods. What kind of gods are they?

Kikuno-sama, the forr earth goddess, smiled at and looked at Leon, who was helping silently in his boy form.

“Good for you. God of the Forest…… Leon, was it? I see you’ve found her.”

“Umu.”

Leon’s response was curt. Who is the girl Kikuno-sama is referring to?”

“At any rate, Kikuno, how did you find this place? Ah, right, you’re a god, do I have to add “-sama” when I refer you?”

“It feels weird to be suddenly called with “-sama” by Hikoshirou. So, it’s fine to continue calling as you did before. I knew Hikoshirou’s whereabouts a long ti ago. The Toujuuin ancestors were once in-laws with the Marquis de Grandeur, so I figured that if you were anywhere, it’d be here.”

It’s quite a feat to be able to find Tojurou-san going off that much information. Is it because she’s a forr god of this country?

“Excuse , but doesn’t Kikuno-sama have sothing for Tojurou?”

“My family, the Kujo Gasumi family is the liaison sent by the Toujuuin family. It was my duty to find him because Hikoshirou left the country and crossed the continent’s borders without permission. Sorry. “

Liaison? Is it sothing like an escort?

“I’m telling you, but I won’t be coming back for the ti being.”

“The King told to leave Hikoshirou to his own devices. I’ll simply send word back to the country. I shall be staying in this continent for a while, so don’t worry.”

Kikuno-sama smiled at Tojurou-san, who wore a crooked smile, looking dissatisfied.

“Go back.”

“No, sir. I haven’t been back to my hotown for a long ti, so I shall be staying for a long while.”

Kikuno-sama was originally one of the guardian deities of this country. So, it can be said that this is her hotown.

“Kikuno-sama, have you decided where you will be staying? If not, please stay at our house.”

“Oi! Yurie!”

I ignored Tojurou-san’s attempts to stop .

“Thank you very much, Yurie-sama. I’ll take your word for it and stay with you.”

“You may call Yurie since Tojuro-sama also calls that.”

Kikuno-sama clicked her tongue giving a thumbs up to Tojurou-san who was ruffling his bangs.
