Kurogane’s request .

When I returned to my room, Kurogane who was lying on the ground in his Sacred Beast form approached me .

“Lord, have you finished talking with the young brat?”
“Young brat, you say… are you talking about s.h.i.+n? He’s already of age, so you can’t say it to his face, okay?”

s.h.i.+n is half-Yahatul person, so like Asian people in my past life, he looks younger than he is .
He, himself, seems to mind it, so I would like to avoid topics that could stimulate his complex .

“Hmph, to me, he would always be a young brat . If he minds, he should do good work to make me remember his name . ”

… So you don’t even remember his name?
Sacred Beasts really are indifferent about matters that don’t concern them, huh .

“Anyhow, I got the information I wanted . And so, I have a request for you, Kurogane…”

I retrieved Kurogane’s exclusive use brush from my Inventory .

“Request? It’s rare for you to make a request, Lord . ”

When I started burs.h.i.+ng him, Kurogane closed his eyes in comfort and rested his chin on top of his forepaws .

“You see, I would like you to hunt Orcs for me… ah, I don’t need many, okay? Just one or two . ”

Recalling the last time I requested Kurogane to hunt Orcs and he destroyed an entire village, I make sure to correct myself in panic .

Although I say that, it would be troublesome if another Orc Village appeared, so we would have to suppress them so they don’t increase in numbers .
I then won’t be able to say that I don’t want many, though .
Well, at that time, I will have to consult with Tirie-san so the prices won’t collapse with the delivery of goods…

“Hmm . It seems that adventurers accepting requests to obtain bacon had increased at the Capital’s Adventurer’s Guild recently . I heard that those guys are aggressively buying Orc meat and other materials on the way to your fief . Because of that, the number of Orcs in the fief’s vicinity had decreased . ”

… Something like that has been happening in the fief? I knew that there have been requests from the Capital’s Adventurer’s Guild to bring bacon and that Orc subjugation requests had increased, but still .
For the Orcs who had been increasing in numbers to suddenly almost disappear, just how much are they being hunted…?
This is far from talking about the collapse of prices .

“Because of the situation, I doubt there are many specimens left… I shall try a new location . ”

“S, sorry, but please do . I really am fine with just a few . You don’t have to search thoroughly to bring lots back, okay?”
“Understood . ”

Saying that, Kurogane closed his eyes and thoroughly enjoyed the brus.h.i.+ng .
When I finished brus.h.i.+ng Kurogane, Mas.h.i.+ro who was clinging to my back without me even noticing sprawled on top of my lap, demanding his turn .
Of course, I intended to be impartial and brush Mas.h.i.+ro as well, so I retrieved Mas.h.i.+ro’s exclusive use brush from my Inventory and started gently brus.h.i.+ng Mas.h.i.+ro’s back .
While brus.h.i.+ng Mas.h.i.+ro for a while, he whispered to himself .

“… Even though I can hunt Orcs too . ”

My, oh my, Mas.h.i.+ro was sulking .
I do rely on Kurogane with these matters all the time, after all .
I know that Mas.h.i.+ro is able to hunt on his own, but when I think about Orcs’ physique, I always end up relying on Kurogane .
I understand that Mas.h.i.+ro is in this small form because of me, but because I got used to these adorable appearances of his, I can’t help but wanting to spoil him…
There’s also the fact that I had not seen his large Holy Bear form .
… Is it like the polar bear of my past life, I wonder?

“Naturally, I will have you properly guard me while Kurogane’s away, Mas.h.i.+ro . I am also going to rely on you without holding back when a matter like that of the Sharkens comes up, okay?”
“Got it . Actually, I prefer guarding you rather than hunting Orcs, Cristea . ”
“Oh my, fufu . ”

Kyuu, I tightly hugged Mas.h.i.+ro, mofumofu’ed and patted him and resumed the brus.h.i.+ng .
