Book 2: Chapter 2-3: Kuu

Uwaa

As I finished the soup I heard the Fire Foxes raise their voices. I turned around and was surprised to see they were much closer than before.Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

All of them were staring at the soup in the pot passionately. I suppose they couldnt ignore the delicious smell wafting about.

Ummeveryone the soup is ready so line up. Ill pour it into your cups.

I said and saw all of them run off, rummage in their luggage, find their cups, and hurry to line up.

Under Kuus watchful eyes they lined up properly.

Okay here you go.

Thank you Elf-oniichan!

Youre welcome, its hot so be careful.

I stood there pouring soup into each of their cups. I had just given some to a young Fire Fox girl.

They handed me their cups and I handed it back to them full of hot soup.

I smiled at her and the young Fire Fox girl smiled back. I saw some admiration and a bit of worship in her eyes.

To be honest it would be faster if I simply gave them three ladles and let them fill their own cups.

However, I wouldnt do that.

This was the perfect opportunity to show off what a good person I was.

When the Fire Foxes arrived they were filthy, sweaty, shivering from the cold, and starving.

In these trying times I gave them a shower to clean themselves, a nice place to live, and personally handed them hot food. I must look almost divine to them.

Amongst them Kuu tried to cheer up the Fire Foxes.

Everyone was crying yet she smiled, leant them her shoulder, consoled them, and listened to their grumbles.

Now that I looked she wasnt holding a cup of soup. She probably didnt take the time to get any since she was constantly trying to care for the rest of them.

Even now a small girl had leapt into her chest crying Kuu-anesama as Kuu patted her head.

Kuus expression wasnt one of sadness like everyone else, it was instead a saintly smile.

I couldnt just stand by and watch this any longer.

I prepared a large dish and poured a big helping of soup into it as I opened my mouth.

Everyone we have more soup if you want it. Take as much as you want you can empty this pot out.

I said and all the Fire Foxes with empty cups leapt up fiercely.

Of course even the girl who had been crying into Kuus chest as well.

It was a bit calculative, but necessary.

Kuu, I have something to speak to you about as representative next door.

Understood Cyril-sama.

Kuu said and stood up empty-handed.

She must have been starving but she didnt even give a second glance to her untouched soup that she left on the ground.

I couldnt help but let out a bitter smile at Kuus actions.

Okay then, lets go.

I said and took Kuu to the warehouse that stored the Imperial equipment.
