Chapter 36: Miu fruit?

“Oh, shiro-kun. It’s really bad for us to be dressed like this.”

　She then deployed her water magic right in front of us.

　The color of blood, which must have been return blood, was washed away at once, and he had black hair and unfamiliar clothes that looked exotic. She wore shoes with heels that somehow looked like weapons, and was carrying a slender white decorated sword on her back.

　At the same time, the dirt was removed from Fenrir’s fur and it became pure white.

“…I’ve never seen it used like that before.”

　The moment Lang muttered. For some reason, Fenrir becomes smaller and smaller.

No matter how you look at it, it’s a large pure white dog.

“Woof woof woof”

“““Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ‥‥‥‥”””

──────He was barking as if he was complaining about something.

“No, Shiro-kun. Be nice to the people feeding you, okay?”

‥‥‥‥Is that right? Everyone’s retorts fell into silence.

“I wish I could have served something sweet, but unfortunately it wasn’t on the menu for this visit—I wish I could have gotten something from the forest.”

　The voice of the boy in charge of chores echoed through the air, giving no hint of any tension.

“Oh no. You didn’t have to worry about that~.  “

　────What is this? There was a strange atmosphere there, like a restaurant that was entertaining a guest.

　 A camping point set up outside the forest.

　The entire troop is in one clump, but there are three campfire points set up.

　Each member of the troop is surrounding a fire, but everyone’s eyes can’t help but  focus on one person and one animal that have come out of the forest.

　However, there was a difference between the Survey group, which had entered the forest, and the stay-at-home group, who were warned in a whisper, “Don’t look at them too much. If they come over here, we’ll be in trouble!” The stay-at-home group did not understand what was at stake, and they couldn’t help but stare at her. ────they understood that she just came out of the forest and is not an ordinary person. but couldn’t figure out how dangerous the person who was exuding a friendly air with the chore boy was.

“Right, well, how about something like this?”

　I’m in a good mood after eating something delicious for the first time in a while, I ───── so I take a moment to pull out a red strawberry in my palm. After everything, I had gone to the cluster and harvested a large amount of girlish strawberries that had grown even more. They were as noisy as ever, but I guess it will be quiet for a while now. Since I intend to go back there again, I also marked the area.

　I hadn’t notice that everyone except myself and Shiro-kun were wide-eyed in shock.

　

　The chore boy’s eyes widened in amazement as he saw the fruit that was placed in front of him.

“mi, mimimimimiu fruit!”

　With both hands trembling, he receives the fruit and observes it carefully.

“Mimimimiu fruit?” That’s what they’re called? They are sweet and tasty, aren’t they?

“No, no, excuse me. It’s a miu fruit. This is a luxury item that is easy for the upper aristocrats to eat, but for us ordinary people, we should be able to eat it at least once in our lives.”

“Oh, really? But there’s plenty, so let’s all eat them together. It’s bad enough that we’re the only ones being fed.”

　──────Share, share, share. As I said that, rumble,rumble,rumble, I piled them into a nearby basket in a heap. 

“fuwaaaaaa‥‥‥‥ this is my first time seeing so much miu fruit! They smell so good!”

　To the boy with a sparkling face, holding the basket as an offering, uh-huh, that’s good, that’s good. A smile suits such a cute child.

　I suddenly noticed the boy’s hand holding the basket.

“What happened to your fingers?”

“Ah~, this is because I got a little too carried away when I was collecting medicinal herbs in the forest.  I ended up cutting it.”

“Which one is it? Let me see.”

　I took the boy’s hand and without a second thought, chants “Heal.”

　──────The wind blew across a wide area.

　───── Oh, shit. I was completely distracted. The “healing” has spread far and wide.  Shiro-kun, don’t stare at me. Your fur just got a little bit cleaner.  No one was hurt by the look of it, so it’s okay, they won’t notice. ─────That’s what I thought.

“Oooooooooooooooooo──────!”

───── Suddenly, from behind me, there was a scream.

TL Note:

The strawberries are referred to as being onee- onee/effeminate men(オネェ )
