Chapter 35

Bear-san Uses A Hair Dryer

「Well then, it’s my turn to enter the bath . 」

Gentz-san headed to the bathroom .

The four people who were left behind dried their hair with towels .

At this rate, it would take a long time for it to dry, so I went to my room and brought back an item that resembled a hair dryer .

I used earth magic to recreate a hair dryer’s shape and then inserted a fire and a wind magic stone inside, thus completing the imitation hair dryer .

「Fina, come here for a bit . 」

「What is it?」

「Turn around . 」

She obediently came over and turned around .

Her hair, which had grown slightly past her shoulders, dangled in front of me .

I gripped the dryer and inserted magic power, instead of pressing a switch .

A warm wind blew out of the dryer .

「Hya! What is it?!」

Fina let out a small yelp and turned her head to face me .

「It’s a tool that blows out warm air to dry your hair . 」

I aimed some wind at Fina’s hand to demonstrate that it was safe .

「It’s warm . 」

「If you understand, turn around . 」

I dried Fina’s hair and then began drying Shuri’s hair next .

The sisters were both obedient children .

「That’s quite a convenient tool you have there . 」

「I made it because drying my long hair is troublesome . 」

「When you’re done, can you lend it to me too?」

「Sure . 」

I finished drying Shuri’s hair and lent the dryer to Tirumina-san .

「Is it okay for me to go first?」

「Mine is long, so it will take a long time . 」

「In that case, thanks for letting me use it . 」

Tirumina-san dried her hair and, while I was in the middle of drying my hair, Gentz-san came out of the bath .

「That was a good bath . I was surprised by the bears though . Missy, thank-」

Gentz-san saw my appearance and froze .

「What’s the matter?」

「You’re bear missy, right?」

「Haa? Did you possibly hit your head while you were in the bath?」

「No, it’s because…」

Gentz-san looked at the three people next to me .

「…………？」

「Yuna-chan doesn’t seem to have an accurate view of herself, so it’s useless . 」

「……?」

I didn’t understand what they were talking about, so I continued to dry my hair .

While I was in the middle of leisurely drying my hair, Fina came over to give me a hand .

「Well then, I’ll guide you to your rooms . 」

I took the four people up to the second floor .

「Gentz-san can have the room at the back . There’s only two beds for the three of you, but is this room okay?」

「Yes, it’s fine because Shuri and I normally sleep together . 」

I looked over at Gentz-san .

「Gentz-san . 」

「What?」

「The girls will be sleeping next to her, so please don’t sneak into Tirumina-san’s bed . 」

I told Gentz-san with a serious face .

「I won’t do such a thing!」

「By the way, calling her to your own room is no good either, because I don’t want to have to wash stained bedding . 」

「I also don’t want to make you wash such a thing!」

「For that reason, Tirumina-san as well, please refrain from going to Gentz-san’s room . 」

「I understand already! There’s no way I would do that sort of thing in someone else’s house, especially with my daughters here . Besides, I’m understandably tired today, so I also want to go to sleep . Once again, thank you so much for today, really . 」

「Big sis Yuna, good night . 」

「Good night . 」

The three entered their room .

「I’m also heading to bed . You really saved us today . Thank you . 」

Gentz-san thanked me in an embarrassed manner and also went to his room .

I’ll return to my room and sleep too .

The next morning, when I woke up and descended down to the first floor, I saw Fina preparing breakfast .

「Good morning . 」

「Good morning to you too . 」

「You’re up early . 」

「Yes, because I’ve always been preparing breakfast for my family . Um, I made breakfast without your permission, but…」

「Thank you . You don’t really need to worry about the ingredients . So, is everyone else still sleeping?」

「Uncle Gentz- no, I mean, Father has gone off to work . He wanted me to pass on his thanks to Big sis Yuna . 」

He ran around when Tirumina-san fell gravely ill, looked for a house, and even took time off for the move .

As expected, taking leave for too many days isn’t good .

「Ah, Shuri and mom are still asleep though . 」

「What should we do? Though, if they’re tired, I would rather let them sleep . 」

「It’s okay . Shuri is usually like this . Mom is weak in the mornings, since she was sick for so long, but she’ll get up when you wake her . 」

In other words, they were unable to get up by themselves, huh?

「I finished cooking breakfast, so I’ll go wake them up . 」

Fina went to the second floor to wake the two people up .

After a while, three people arrived .

「Good morning . Yuna-chan, thanks for yesterday . 」

「Good morning!」

Tirumina-san and Shuri came while rubbing their eyes .

The four of us ate the breakfast that Fina had cooked .

Breakfast was simply vegetables sandwiched between slices of bread and oren juice .

Now that I think about it, we’re not eating fried eggs .

Even though it’s delicious in a sandwich .

I haven’t seen any eggs in town though .

「Fina, I have a small question I wanted to ask . 」

「Yes, what is it?」

「Where do they sell eggs?」

「Yes?」

「Eggs, I said . When you fry an egg, place it on bread, and eat it, it’s delicious!」

「Big sis Yuna, such an expensive ingredient isn’t sold . 」

「Is that so?」

「That’s right . Basically, eggs are considered luxury ingredients, so only nobles and really rich people get to eat them . 」

I didn’t know .

No wonder it wasn’t being sold .

「It’s necessary to go to the forest to procure them, and they’ll spoil quickly over time, so bringing them over a long distance isn’t possible . Using a fast horse to bring them is costly, so they’ve become an expensive ingredient . We’ve never eaten one before . 」

「Umm, what about catching and raising a bird that can’t fly…?」

「A bird that can’t fly? Aren’t they called birds because they can fly?」

Apparently, there weren’t any chickens in this world .

If I searched, would I find one somewhere?

I added chicken and eggs to my food ingredients wish list .

The three of them finished eating breakfast and went back home to continue the moving process .

I offered to help again, but was turned down .

「It’s not good if Big sis Yuna doesn’t go to work . 」

Though she said that, even if I didn’t really go to work, I still had enough money to live on .

A great person once said, if you work, you lose .

However, in order to have fun in this world, I headed to the guild to search for an interesting request .
