Fur
“”((That was delicious~~~))””
(((Thank you for the meal . )))
Since the fish was fresh, I simply grilled it and cooked octopus with rice for lunch .
“Fresh fish taste great, after all~”
The taste and texture of the octopus was great, and I’m thankful for the kids .
Next time, I’d like to try my hand at octopus dumplings . The griddle for grilling octopus was prepared for this occasion . Moreover, I also found some seaweed that could be used to make Aonori (green laver) . Rather, if I manage to make green laver, I’d like to make seaweed salt and first and make potato chips with it!
“Well then, what do we do in the afternoon?”
“”Wolf~””
“N? The wolf pelt? But, will we find any so conveniently?”
We might be able to find low-ranked wolves, but we’d be hard pressed to find one that would be good to make a rug for a nobleman’s mansion .
“Ah!”
“”Nniyu?””
Come to think of it, the Red Wolf and Bloody Wolf we defeated in the Gaya Forest are still in my Infinite Storage .
“We had pelt!”
(Niisama, you mean a wolf pelt?)
“Right, the Bloody Wolf should be spotless, too . ”
Allen and Elena defeated it by kicking it, so there should be no cuts to it . Oh, do even air bullets leave marks?
(Bloody Wolves have pretty good fur . )
(Yeah . Well, it’s a far cry from a Fenrir’s fur . )
(Well, you are comparing it to my fur, after all!)
Joule wagged his tail happily after hearing Feat’s praise .
“”… Jii~~~””
Allen and Elena stared straight back at him .
(Allen!? Elena!? You can’t take my fur even if you stare at me for so long!)
“”… Was not looking~””
(You totally were!? You looked at me as if I was prey, though!?)
“”Wasn’t, wasn’t . ””
Allen and Elena who were staring fixedly at Joule quickly averted their gazes .
(Hey, Oniichan, you saw it, right——)
“”Heyhah~””
(Whoah!)
In the moment when Joule’s gaze turned to me, the kids jumped on him and hugged his neck, squeezing him tightly .
It seems that what Allen and Elena were aiming for was the timing of the jump .
(Hah~ that startled me~)
“”So warm, mofumofu~””
The two rubbed their faces against Joule’s neck .
Joule’s fur was fluffy and thick, so it feels good to rub your face against it like that~
“Allen loves to mofumofu Joule~”
“Elena too~”
Allen and Elena laughed even more . What cute smiles they have .
(Oniichan, can I leave for a moment?)
“That’s fine with me, but… why so suddenly? Where are you going?”
(I’m going to find a Fenrir and kill it!)
“Eh!? Nonono, why!?”
(Mine is out of question, but Allen and Elena can wear another Fenrir’s fur, no? Or use it as a blanket . Maybe a muffler? Anyhow, to make something of it!)
Joule was fully motivated . Moreover, when you translate it, it becomes “Ready to kill . ”
“”… Joule, you are leaving?””
Allen and Elena who were smiling just a moment ago were now looking downhearted after hearing Joule’s sudden declaration .
(Eh!? W, what do I do . I hate the thought of separating from Allen and Elena even for a minute… but, but, I really want to bring back a nice to the touch pelt back . Kyuu, it’s the ultimate choice!)
Joule was flustered .
“Calm down, Joule . ”
(I mean, but…)
“You just have to stay by Allen and Elena’s side . ”
(But then, I won’t be able to get supreme mofumofu for them . )
“Your fur is much surely much better than the fur of a wild Fenrir, so if you are by their side to embrace at all times, Allen and Elena would be much happier . ”
The children nodded in agreement .
(Really?)
“”Yeah, want Joule!””
Allen and Elena hugged Joule’s neck, and Joule happily wagged his tail .
(… I don’t think I will lose in terms of fur, though~)
While I was feeling relieved that we were able to stop Joule from acting without thinking, I heard Feat mutter in a low voice from my side .
… Is she sulking?
“F, Feat?”
(What is it, Niisama?)
“Your fur is also wonderful . ”
I stoked the back of Feat’s neck .
Feat’s fur is short so it doesn’t feel that thick, but it feels very soft on touch, so it really entices you to touch it at all times .
“Feat is~”
“Smoothy-smooth~”
(Oh my, truly? I’m happy to hear that . )
The mood of Feat who was a little sulkish, immediately improved when she heard Allen and Elena’s praise .
(Me? What about me?)
“Vector is~”
“A bit rough~”
(Gah…)
Vector’s fur is of the bristle type, after all . That being said, it’s not uncomfortable on touch .
Rather, gah… he said it out loud .
(Niichan, don’t you have any medicine to make my fur silky smooth!?)
“Silky smooth, huh?”
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a hair-specific shampoo or conditioner . Well, it’s just that I don’t have one and I don’t know about it, but it’s not impossible to find one somewhere . … Over here, you normally wash with soapy water and use a perfumed oil .
This is probably the most common way of doing it, as it was the case at the Risner and Ruven mansions .
“Would you like to try using perfume oil?”
(Perfume oil?)
“It’s an oil with a scent . It’s also used to moisten dry hair . ”
Perfume oils come in many different smells, floral, fruit, herbal, etc . , but I’m sure there are unscented ones as well .
“But, you would have to wash yourself first before using it . ”
(Wash!? You mean I would have to get wet!? No way!!)
He rejected with all of his might .
Anyhow, why don’t I clean him with Washing and try some perfume oils~ Oh, but the only perfume oils I have on me are of the herbal type .
“In any case, if you are to use it, we need to get some unscented perfume oil, so we can’t do that at the moment . ”
In addition to the unscented one, I’ll get some other ones with different smells~ Even I could use a citrus fragrance, and Elena would find something she likes too, like a flowery fragrance or something .
(It’s fine! I have given up already!)
“Don’t be modest . I will prepare it properly . ”
I didn’t tell Vector that I could use “Washing” instead of washing him normally, and kept smiling .
