In the end, all we did on the first day was watch workers from afar setting up tents.

The tent was not the size that usually comes to mind when thinking of camping, but rather a large tent that would be used by vloggers who professionally film camping videos. Did you call it a tipi tent? What… … If this is emotional, it is emotional.

It’s a good thing we avoided mid-winter, as the crew doesn’t have much experience in this area, but this is a picnic, not a camping trip.

“Then what did Lady Elsie want?”

After the tent was built, we lit a bonfire in front of it and gathered around to sit down, and Diane asked me that question.

“At least I knew how to do it when we went out to the forest.”

“Elsie Young-ae would be the only person whose expression could not change much even when surrounded by wolves.”

I agree with that, but still—

“In my case, all three of them were so calm that I had no choice but to pretend to be okay. Amelia and Elsie, the second child, and even Adele did not have any significant changes in their expressions.”

“But, aren’t those kids still pretty cute?”

Adele, who was next to me, offered it to me, so I nodded.

“They would have been cute if they were just 1.5 meters shorter than they are now, but I think they have already surpassed the category of cute when their shoulder height passes the height of their heads.”

“Still, those kids are calm.”

“… … But Amelia, no matter how gentle you are, those children won’t eat meat. Even if you kill an animal of that size, it won’t be enough to fill their stomachs, right?”

“Animals in the north only eat a lot at a time, but they don’t hunt often. There isn’t that much game.”

“… … .”

Diane gave me an expression that said, ‘I shouldn’t be saying that right now,’ but she still couldn’t bear it.

… … When I say this, it may seem like I’m a dog lover who says ‘he doesn’t bite’, but what can I do? I’ve never actually bitten one until now.

Unlike in Delki City, the children never showed themselves hunting in front of us here.

“If you keep saying that, what more can I say?”

Um, well.

That too, though.

“Starting tomorrow, it would be better to be careful not to let them jump out in front of your eyes. Today, I spent a day preparing like this, but tomorrow I decided to learn about specimens such as herbs, insects, and reptiles found in the forest.”

As she said that, Diane looked a little reluctant.

And I, too, made a reluctant expression.

Isn’t that just learning by walking along a thoroughly prepared path?

To be honest, I was confident that I could explain it better than most of the wizards here.

Of course, I have no idea about its magical effects.

“Honestly, I still have enough time to go in and out of the forest.”

“… … Elsie is the only one who thinks that way. What kind of girl in the world goes into the forest in the dark of night after the sun sets and plays with wolves?”

“… … .”

For some reason, the way I speak to Diane seems to have become a lot lighter.

Do you think that you have become friends in some way?

Well, I don’t feel bad, but—

“… … .”

For some reason, Amelia next to me seemed a little uncomfortable.

“It looks like we will all get together in a little while and have something similar to a party. You will all be attending, right?”

“Yes, well… … .”

Amelia and I nodded hesitantly.

Coming this far and getting away with it means going to university MT and locking yourself in your room instead of doing things together.

Even though the two of us don’t care about what people think, we don’t do that when we attend an event.

And Diane and Adele were here too.

“We are supposed to roast a whole big pig and share it. Do you not want to eat it?”

Honestly, that’s good.

You should talk less and eat more meat.

Also, should I pack some things to give to the wolves?

*

“… … I really brought that with me.”

“Rather than saying I brought it with me, I just asked for some if there was anything left.”

Amelia sounded absurd, so I quickly made an excuse.

Actually, I didn’t think they would give that much. Nobles tend to leave a lot of food to care for their own image, but in many cases, they don’t even share the leftover food with their neighbors.

Because I want to show that I can make a living even after throwing away this much.

So I thought I would end up throwing away quite a bit of the pork, and even if I did give it away, I thought I would give it away in small amounts—

As it happened, the magic tower owner nearby listened to my request, so I was able to get almost half of the pig’s remaining carcass.

It was all chopped and grilled, so there wasn’t a big problem visually, but there was so much meat that the bag it was wrapped in was soggy with oil.

“I’m going to go a little later and give it to the kids.”

“Then I’ll go with you.”

“Good.”

Amelia readily responded to my words.

“However, it would be better to go a little further away. If the nobles in the camp hear you howling like a wolf, they will become extremely anxious.”

“… … I know that too.”

I didn’t know.

But I was embarrassed, so I pretended that I already knew.

Amelia must have already known this, so she just smiled slightly at me.

… … I’m a little embarrassed.

*

“I’m sorry. I want to tag along, but… … .”

“I can’t help it when I suddenly feel unwell.”

When I said I was going to go feed the wolves at night, Diane said that while shaking slightly.

That didn’t seem like a lie. Diane’s face was definitely a little red, and there was a little sweat on her forehead.

“You two, please stay safe. I will be taking good care of Diane.”

And Adele decided to stay with Diane.

The two still grumble at each other often, but that’s probably just their appearance.

It was obviously just Amelia and I who saw each other talking, but I wondered how these two people could become so close so quickly.

Well, that’s probably because Adele is so kind. Even in the original work, she seduced Amelia, who believed she was heterosexual, and made her her lover.

I was very fortunate that Diane was trying to get Adele’s attention.

Otherwise, the story I experienced in this world would have been an NTR story. That too, an NTR with a strange feeling in many ways, losing a woman to a woman.

“Then I will ask you a favor.”

“Don’t worry. There’s still time tomorrow night to talk.”

Only after hearing Adele’s words did we turn around.

The sight I saw inside just before the tent completely came down was Adele Diane being lifted up and carried to the bed.

In the original, Adele is quite carnivorous, but oh well.

But I’m not going to attack you right now. No matter how close I am, I’m going to try to become closer to that point.

*

Without much worry, I walked with Amelia.

Of course, along the way, I met an escort standing on the perimeter, but he didn’t seem too worried because he had already heard that I was from Delki City.

No, what kind of image does being from Delki city have on other people?

Or perhaps the story that came from Diane also trickled down to that person?

With that in mind, I walked, and when I thought I had come quite far, I dropped the meat I was carrying on my back on the ground. Then I unwrapped the cloth and spread it out. A delicious smell filled my nose. It wasn’t something I was going to eat.

When I looked up at the sky, it was now much closer to black than orange. No matter how long the days were, it seemed like the sun was setting at this time. Well, it wasn’t even mid-summer yet.

Okay, then.

I put my hands in front of my mouth and shouted in a quieter voice than usual.

“Awww!”

After waiting for a while, a rustling sound was heard from the other side of the forest, and wolves crawled out through the dense trees.

The first child I saw was Gray.

Gray followed the light-emitting magic tool we had and stuck his nose out at me.

When I lightly stroked the bridge of his nose with my hand, Gray barked softly and lowered his nose towards the meat.

And the next wolf I saw was none other than Snow Snow.

“Snow?”

And, I was a little surprised to see Snow.

There was blood on Snow’s mouth.

That’s not that strange. These kids will also hunt to get food, and if they hunted just a little while ago, it wouldn’t be strange if there was blood on them.

But there’s one problem—

Just like Gray did, Snow stuck his nose in my direction.

And then I could clearly see Snow’s mouth.

There was something black stuck between my teeth.

I reached out my hand and took it out, and Snow gave me a cool expression and sat next to Gray and lowered his head towards the meat.

And, what’s left in my hands is,

Black cloth?

“… … .”

Amelia blinked when she saw Donna’s hand.

and-

“Ugh!”

Deep in the forest, someone’s screams were heard.
