Fur

“”((That was delicious~~~))””

(((Thank you for the meal . )))

Since the fish was fresh, I simply grilled it and cooked octopus with rice for lunch .

“Fresh fish taste great, after all~”

The taste and texture of the octopus was great, and I’m thankful for the kids .

Next time, I’d like to try my hand at octopus dumplings . The griddle for grilling octopus was prepared for this occasion . Moreover, I also found some seaweed that could be used to make Aonori (green laver) . Rather, if I manage to make green laver, I’d like to make seaweed salt and first and make potato chips with it!

“Well then, what do we do in the afternoon?”

“”Wolf~””

“N? The wolf pelt? But, will we find any so conveniently?”

We might be able to find low-ranked wolves, but we’d be hard pressed to find one that would be good to make a rug for a n.o.bleman’s mansion .

“Ah!”

“”Nniyu?””

Come to think of it, the Red Wolf and b.l.o.o.d.y Wolf we defeated in the Gaya Forest are still in my Infinite Storage .

“We had pelt!”

(Niisama, you mean a wolf pelt?)

“Right, the b.l.o.o.d.y Wolf should be spotless, too . ”

Allen and Elena defeated it by kicking it, so there should be no cuts to it . Oh, do even air bullets leave marks?

(b.l.o.o.d.y Wolves have pretty good fur . )

(Yeah . Well, it’s a far cry from a Fenrir’s fur . )

(Well, you are comparing it to my fur, after all!)

Joule wagged his tail happily after hearing Feat’s praise .

“”… Jii~~~””

Allen and Elena stared straight back at him .

(Allen!? Elena!? You can’t take my fur even if you stare at me for so long!)

“”… Was not looking~””

(You totally were!? You looked at me as if I was prey, though!?)

“”Wasn’t, wasn’t . ””

Allen and Elena who were staring fixedly at Joule quickly averted their gazes .

(Hey, Oniichan, you saw it, right——)

“”Heyhah~””

(Whoah!)

In the moment when Joule’s gaze turned to me, the kids jumped on him and hugged his neck, squeezing him tightly .

It seems that what Allen and Elena were aiming for was the timing of the jump .

(Hah~ that startled me~)

“”So warm, mofumofu~””

The two rubbed their faces against Joule’s neck .

Joule’s fur was fluffy and thick, so it feels good to rub your face against it like that~

“Allen loves to mofumofu Joule~”

“Elena too~”

Allen and Elena laughed even more . What cute smiles they have .

(Oniichan, can I leave for a moment?)

“That’s fine with me, but… why so suddenly? Where are you going?”

(I’m going to find a Fenrir and kill it!)

“Eh!? Nonono, why!?”

(Mine is out of question, but Allen and Elena can wear another Fenrir’s fur, no? Or use it as a blanket . Maybe a m.u.f.fler? Anyhow, to make something of it!)

Joule was fully motivated . Moreover, when you translate it, it becomes “Ready to kill . ”

“”… Joule, you are leaving?””

Allen and Elena who were smiling just a moment ago were now looking downhearted after hearing Joule’s sudden declaration .

(Eh!? W, what do I do . I hate the thought of separating from Allen and Elena even for a minute… but, but, I really want to bring back a nice to the touch pelt back . Kyuu, it’s the ultimate choice!)

Joule was fl.u.s.tered .

“Calm down, Joule . ”

(I mean, but…)

“You just have to stay by Allen and Elena’s side . ”

(But then, I won’t be able to get supreme mofumofu for them . )

“Your fur is much surely much better than the fur of a wild Fenrir, so if you are by their side to embrace at all times, Allen and Elena would be much happier . ”

The children nodded in agreement .

(Really?)

“”Yeah, want Joule!””

Allen and Elena hugged Joule’s neck, and Joule happily wagged his tail .

(… I don’t think I will lose in terms of fur, though~)

While I was feeling relieved that we were able to stop Joule from acting without thinking, I heard Feat mutter in a low voice from my side .

… Is she sulking?

“F, Feat?”

(What is it, Niisama?)

“Your fur is also wonderful . ”

I stoked the back of Feat’s neck .

Feat’s fur is short so it doesn’t feel that thick, but it feels very soft on touch, so it really entices you to touch it at all times .

“Feat is~”

“Smoothy-smooth~”

(Oh my, truly? I’m happy to hear that . )

The mood of Feat who was a little sulkish, immediately improved when she heard Allen and Elena’s praise .

(Me? What about me?)

“Vector is~”

“A bit rough~”

(Gah…)

Vector’s fur is of the bristle type, after all . That being said, it’s not uncomfortable on touch .

Rather, gah… he said it out loud .

(Niichan, don’t you have any medicine to make my fur silky smooth!?)

“Silky smooth, huh?”

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a hair-specific shampoo or conditioner . Well, it’s just that I don’t have one and I don’t know about it, but it’s not impossible to find one somewhere . … Over here, you normally wash with soapy water and use a perfumed oil .

This is probably the most common way of doing it, as it was the case at the Risner and Ruven mansions .

“Would you like to try using perfume oil?”

(Perfume oil?)

“It’s an oil with a scent . It’s also used to moisten dry hair . ”

Perfume oils come in many different smells, floral, fruit, herbal, etc . , but I’m sure there are unscented ones as well .

“But, you would have to wash yourself first before using it . ”

(Was.h.!.+? You mean I would have to get wet!? No way!!)

He rejected with all of his might .

Anyhow, why don’t I clean him with Was.h.i.+ng and try some perfume oils~ Oh, but the only perfume oils I have on me are of the herbal type .

“In any case, if you are to use it, we need to get some unscented perfume oil, so we can’t do that at the moment . ”

In addition to the unscented one, I’ll get some other ones with different smells~ Even I could use a citrus fragrance, and Elena would find something she likes too, like a flowery fragrance or something .

(It’s fine! I have given up already!)

“Don’t be modest . I will prepare it properly . ”

I didn’t tell Vector that I could use “Was.h.i.+ng” instead of was.h.i.+ng him normally, and kept smiling .
