CH 74

It was the apple pancakes that got me close to Gyabussh.

. . . This time, I dared to make hot spring eggs in front of Gyabussh.

That’s the decision.

That’s why, with Shizuku-chan’s help, I took the eggs out of the kitchen.

When I made baked apples with Ryleigh-kun, I was able to bring the ingredients with me, so it seems like I can take things out that can be eaten raw, such as eggs and apples.

That area is my skill, so I think it’s flexible with my intentions.

By the way, it seems that even if the ingredients brought out from the kitchen are modified locally, the body will become stronger and be revitalized.

That’s right, my kitchen. Ideal power breaks through the era.

“Shina-san, is this the source?”

“That’s right. It’s amazing, it’s made well.”

Together with Shizuku-chan, I approached the source that had been created and observed it.

The source was the nest that Gyabussh made. . . a short distance from the tub.

It looks like it broke through the bedrock, and the center of the square rock was hollowed out, making it look like a large washbasin.

The hot water is now overflowing because it is bubbling up from the bottom.

It seems that the plan is to put a wooden gutter over it, add a natural slope to the bathtub, and fill it with hot water.

In other words, it flows directly from the source!

“I’m looking forward to it, Shizuku-chan. I think we’re going to have a great hot spring.”

“That’s right.”

When I look at Shizuku-chan and smile, Shizuku-chan also smiles softly and happily.

“Ah, Isarai-sama, Saint-sama! The source is hot, so be careful!”

When the two of us were laughing together, Garez-san, who was carrying a log on his shoulder, called out to me.

It’s just right, so I turn around to Garez-san and wave my hand.

“How hot is the source?”

“Hmm. It’s not boiling, but it feels like you can’t touch it with your hands. It doesn’t feel like an instant burn, but it’s hot!”

“Thank you for your work.”

I thank Garez-san for answering, and look at the source again.

I see. It’s certainly not boiling, but judging from the feeling of the steam, it seems to be reasonably hot.

About 60 to 80 degrees?

The temperature is suitable for making hot spring eggs.

“Shizuku-chan, the eggs you brought, I feel like sinking the whole basket here.”

“Will it turn into hot spring eggs if we put it in this hot water?”

“Yeah. It’s a tourist attraction even in Japan, isn’t it?”

“. . . . Japan”

Yes. Sometimes when you go to a hot spring with a high source.

If you bring or buy an egg, dip it in hot water or steam it and you have a hot spring egg.

Apparently, Shizuku-chan has never experienced it before.

“Is this your first experience, Shizuku-chan?”

“Yes. . . .”

“It’s amazing to experience things in another world that you’ve never done in Japan.”

Maybe she got sad.

I was a little worried, but Shizuku-chan looked up at me and smiled softly.

“. . . .It’s fun.”

It’s a small voice.

But it reached me properly. . .

“. . . Because I’m with Shina-san.”

“Hmm. . . . . . .!!”

My heart stops.

“Hey, you! What a strange sound you’re making!”

Zezgard-san raised his voice at the scream of my heart that leaked out unintentionally.

Apparently, he saw us come back from the kitchen and came closer.

“Zezgard-san. . . This is a sister’s heartbeat that I couldn’t control.”

“Oh?”

“Look, I’m Shizuku-chan’s older sister. . .”

By agreement.

“Even I think of Shizuku like a younger sister. . .What are you doing?”

“. . .I will take responsibility.”

“Responsibility?”

Zezgard-san muttered with frustration.

However, when he saw what Shizuku-chan and I had on the way, he tilted his head.

There is a large amount of eggs in a basket.

Yes. Proof of my determination.

“What does that mean?”

“Just now, Zezgard-san told me, and I thought about it in my own way. I wondered what I should do. I thought I should face Gyabussh. . .”

“. . . I see. You’re thinking in your own way.”

Zezgard-san wipes the corners of his eyes at my serious tone.

Are those tears of frustration, or are they from thinking about Gyabussh. . .

I looked intently at Zezgard-san.

“First, I’ll warm the eggs in the hot spring.”

“Warm the eggs”

“Next, I’ll make food with it.”

“Make food”

“Then, eat it.”

“Eat”

Zezgard-san returned my words as they were.

Yes. He’s stunned.

“Hey! Are you going to show it to Gyabussh?! How much are you going to hurt Gyabussh!!”

“But that’s all I can do. I’ll make a meal and tell him properly. . .!”

A strong voice and golden eyes that glared at me.

But I met his eyes and said it clearly without looking away.

“I’m viviparous.”

I don’t lay eggs.

“. . . !!”

“No one can stop it anymore.”

“. . . Damn it, is there no other way. . .”

“. . . There may be a way to do it more peacefully and without hurting anyone.”

Yes. I’m sure there’s a better way.

But. . .

“I cannot deceive myself.”

I looked straight into his golden eyes.

“Eggs are delicious.”

“Eggs are delicious”

Ah, it’s not just Zezgard-san, Shizuku-chan is also muttering.

“So, Gyabussh!”

“Shasha?”

When I called out in a loud voice, Gyabussh, who was digging the ground around the bathtub, walked towards me.

As soon as he came closer to me, I showed Gyabussh the basket I was holding.

“Look. Lots of eggs. Now I’m going to warm them up, as I promised Gyabussh.”

“Shah?”

Gyabussh tilts his head cutely.

After confirming that, I put the basket with the string attached into the gushing spring.

Chapun

“With time, it will be just right, Zezgard-san, if anyone is concerned about it, I would be happy if you could ask them to leave it as it is.”

“Ah, hey!”

“Gyabussh, this is what happens when I say I warm an egg.”

When I look into Gyabussh’s golden eyes, Gyabussh just looks back gently.

‘I know that,’ he said. That’s what it sounds like.

“Gyabussh. . .”

I stroke the bridge of Gyabussh’s nose as he approached me.

And then, I grabbed Shizuku-chan’s hand and started moving.

“Well, thank you very much.”

“Wait! Where are you going?!”

Zezgard-san’s voice follows us as we walk away.

I paused and turned around to answer.

“The knights’ kitchen. I’ll bring the ingredients there to the kitchen and make food with Shizuku-chan. . . Just the two of us! We’re going to make it together!”

“You! You’re having so much fun! What responsibility!!”

“You’re on egg guard.”

“No!!!”

Zezgard-san raises his voice and looks like he’s about to run up to us.

But Zezgard-san doesn’t follow.

Because I asked him to watch the eggs.

Yes. . . . . . . .

Fufun Rush fulfills his responsibilities. . .

“You! Those eyes!!”
