Book 3: Chapter 4-2: Training Start
I smiled and pulled the trigger. The bolt flew instantly and hit the deer in the head.
Okay lets get going. I took down the deer.
Cyril-niisama
What?
Yukino wants to have kids with Cyril-niisama.
I had taken a step when Yukino suddenly said something outrageous and I nearly tripped and fell to the ground.
Dont.Yukino a girl cant say things like that.
Why? Yukino wants to have some kids.
Thats something that happens when you fall in love and go through the proper steps.
ButI wanna have some soon. If we dont have any then our people will die out. Yukino and the rest have to continue the bloodline. Thats why everyone in the village gave their lives to let us escape
Even this young girlwas thinking so far ahead.
The Fire Foxes previous home had been destroyed. The survivors split into two groups and escaped, but the ones who had not headed towards Erucy had died. Truly, it ended up being that the 50 that arrived here were the only survivors.
Even if that is so, saying that you need to do something like that is too sad I think.
Maybebut Yukino loves Cyril-niisamadoing those kinds of things with other people is scary and I dont wanna.
I think the type of love youre talking about is different. You look at me like an older brother right? Siblings dont do that kind of thing.
Yukino started to ponder with a face that showed she wasnt entirely convinced.
But, I think I do love you. Theres the family lovebut theres another one in there too.
What should I do? I wanted to clearly turn her downbut I also didnt want to hurt her.
Im happy to hear you say that Yukino. But, I cant believe that a child really knows that kind of love yet. I cant take it serious at this point. I think its more that you havent interacted with other guys besides me.
Yukinos eyes started tearing up as she scrunched up her fists in front of her chest. Her ears and tail drooped listlessly.
I really doCyril-niisamawhat can I do to make you believe me?
Proof of love huh?
If it was something like that then.
Lets see. Youre still twelve right Yukinoin two years youll be considered an adult. If you still feel the same way when you reach fourteen then Ill properly respond to your feelings.
Within those two years she would surely have gotten along with some other boys besides me and even she herself would have changed. If by then it didnt waver then it should be for real.
Its a promiseif two years go by and I still feel the same Im your third wife.
Yukino, dont try to bargain upwards. I meant that if you still feel the same in two years I will face your feelings seriously.
.I got found out
Truly what a cunning young lady.
Certainly at this moment the Fire Foxes and Elves were distant with each other, but once the day came that this distance was shortened a cute and good girl like this wouldnt be ignored by the other guys.
Im sure that amongst them at least one of the men would be able to enter her heart.
It wouldnt be a guy like me with two lady loves, but instead a man who only thought of Yukino alone and they wouldnosomehow thinking too much about it was irritating me.
Id have to give away my precious little sister. I wouldnt accept anyone who wasnt stronger, better at business, and considerate as me. Thats how Id decide.
I pulled myself together and headed towards the deer. I removed the blood and organs before making a small makeshift sled and placing both it and Yukino on it before running off again.
The sled was easy to make using the oscillating blade and some sturdy cord.
As expected the snow was hard to move through, but I forcibly increased my speed using Body Enhancement.
Okay, around here seems alright.
Cyril-niisamawhat are you doing?
Its a little something to help train Nettle.
I took out one of the knives hanging from my waist and stabbed it into the largest tree near me.
Hmm, were pretty free so how about a song?
It was pretty boring just pulling the sled and it appeared that Yukino thought so too.
Cyril-niisama teach me some of the songs you know. Im tired of singing all the same Fire Fox songs.
Hmmsongs huh? Elves dont sing all that much
Elves were specialized in instruments and dancing, but strangely enough didnt sing much at all. A simple instrumental piece was good enough for us. But a song that wasnt from my memories as Cyril emerged and I sang.
Sore ike, sore ike everyones beating, throbbing, pounding. Dig, Dig, become all muddy and greet the morning sun. (TN: No idea how accurate this is because I could not find the song online)
It was a bright and cheerful fairy-tale like song. If I remembered it was a song from Showa Era Japan called Good Morning World.
The song had a red fox couple as the focus as they raised their kids. Certainly this was a fitting song for the Fire Foxes.
I repeated the song once more, and on the third time around Yukino joined in with her voice. Fire Foxes were really good at singing.
Thinking that my voice was just noise in comparison I stopped singing and simply focused on Yukinos voice.
But after a while of singing alone, Yukino noticed as she blushed and stopped singing.
Whyd you stop? Your singing was really nice Yukino.
Compared to Kuu-anesama, Yukinos singing is no good.
I dont think you need to compare
Yukino thinks so toobut its still no good.
It seems there was something behind this. Amongst all the foxes Kuu was golden. Yukino being silver may have special meaning as well.
I seeif you say so, but I really like it. Your singing that is. Remember that.
Cyril-niisamathat previous promiseas I thought two years is too long!
And so we safely finished hunting as the snow fell.
Now I just had to divide it into portions and place it inside an insulated container along with a large amount of ice and it should last us for quite some time.
