“Keigo… Good morning….”

The next morning, Yurina-san opened her eyes. On the other hand, I had been watching the fire without falling asleep after waking up in the middle of the night. But strangely enough, I didn’t feel sleepy at all. Though it wasn’t like I had gone without any sleep, I had been closing my eyes while sitting down to give my body a break. 

I’ve got enough rest. 

“Good morning, Yurina-san.”

I gave a good morning kiss on Yurina-san’s cheek then I put my forehead against her to check her temperature. It seemed her fever was almost gone now. 

“It seems you’re already fine now but, don’t let your guard down yet. You still need to rest for another day, okay?”

While saying that in Japanese, I gestured for her to go back to sleep. Yurina-san understood what I meant but she looked a little bit displeased.

Even that simple gesture of hers looked very adorable. 

“Ah, that’s right. Let me wipe the sweat from last night off your body and then I will help you change your clothes.”

Yurina-san had sweated a lot. I wet the towel with hot water from the kettle and used it to wipe Yurina-san’s body. Yurina-san’s pajamas were completely soaked with sweat too so I also helped her change her clothes. 

Then Yurina-san’s body made a series of adorable sounds so I decided to go on to make a meal for us. Besides, Ash had been pestering me like he was practically saying,”Feed me!”.

Today, I decided to make a soup with mylene detoxification herb, root vegetables and various seafood I got from the river. I used kelp to make the soup stock and seasoned it with salt. I also made roasted deer meat by cutting the deer meat in thin slices first. Then I garnished the roasted meat with irene herbs and fruit along with gravy sauce. Instead of bread, I made pancakes by using flour, sugar and eggs that I had purchased beforehand. I also added cheese to the pancake as a secret ingredient to make it taste better. To finish the pancake off, I added some raspberries-like fruit that I had received from the villagers. 

When I told Yurina-san to give the dish I had made a try, her eyes widened in delight.

I guess at this rate, her health is only going to get better? 

After a meal, I made her drink a glass of hot water and paruna detoxification potion and told her to lie down again. 

You can’t stare at me like that, okay? You need to rest. 

After Ash had plenty of food, I took him outside to do his business. He normally would play outside all day until the sky got dark but now, he never left Yurina-san’s side. 

He must be worried about Yurina-san too.
