Chapter 95 – A Place to Store the Condiments Ije had brought barrels of condiments from the village that the false demon bear had destroyed. They had been abandoned there for several months, but had not gone bad. So that suggested they could last long if stored properly. “Yes, that is important. What kind of…
Chapter 94 – Hippolius was strong against the cold When we were finished eating, Fio and I helped Ije with cleaning up. Behind me, Hippolius and the wolf cubs were playing happily. And Shiro watched over them. It felt as if Hippolius had become more childish after shrinking And so I left the children to…
Chapter 93 – Crafting and Breakfast I thought about it while placing the plates on the table. And then I filled them with the food for Hippolius and the wolf cubs. “Kyuo!” “Pii-pii!” “Wuff.” ‘I’m hungry.’ Hippolius and the wolf cubs put their paws on the table to show that they were hungry. Currently, they…
Chapter 92 – Peaceful Morning The day after Ije joined us. As always, I was woken up by Hippolius, the wolf cubs, and Pii. Small Hippolius, Kuro, Roro, and Ruru were licking my face. And Pii was nibbling on my head. Perhaps it had been influenced by Hippolius. It seemed that once they woke up…
Chapter 91 – Ije’s Cooking Once I decided to head for the dining hall, Pii quickly climbed up on my right shoulder. Pii liked to be in my clothes while sleeping, and on my shoulder while awake. As for Hippolius, it was holding onto my left shoulder with its front legs. All the while saying…
Chapter 90 – Ije and Mites I scooped up a little bit of the liquid from the plate with a spoon and licked it. “Hmm. It is good.” “I agree with Mr. Theo. I like it.” “It would go well with some ale.” The other Adventurers liked it as well. “How is this made?” “Umm…”…
Chapter 89 – Condiments Ije also looked happy as she petted Kuro and the others. And so I made a suggestion. “Ije. What will you do? Will live here?” Ije was still young, and might be lonely if she lived by herself. And so I thought it would be better to live with the wolf…
Where Ije Would Live Ije did not seem bothered by the attention. “Ije. Girl.” “I see, I see. I thought so, since you are so cute.” Kelly said as she patted Ije on the head. “Kelly. Don’t pat her so much without permission.” “Ah, sorry.” “It is fine. Ije doesn’t mind.” “I see, I see.…
Chapter 87 – Introduction to Victor Victor was the leader of the expedition team. And once the base was created, he acted like the village chief. And so it was probably best to introduce Ije to him first. As we walked towards the infirmary, Hippolius seemed to be in high spirits. Hippolius wagged its tail…
Chapter 86 – Returning to the Base After traveling for some time, Shiro got off of Hippolius’s back and started to run on her own feet. As she was a wolf, she liked to run. For wolves, it was necessary that they ran a certain distance every day. As I watched Shiro run, Fio asked,…
Chapter 85 – Funeral and Return Shiro’s howl echoed through the tunnels. It must have reached every corner. And then, I heard Fio and the cubs howl in reply from a distance. They must have heard Shiro, and were replying. Shiro then stopped howling and went outside. And then, this time Shiro started to howl…
Chapter 84 – Magic Stones Ije poked at the magic stone with a finger and tilted her head. “This. Magic stone?” “Yes. The stones that are found inside of magic beasts.” The magic stones were placed together underneath all of the precious metals. There were a few dozen in all. They were likely from beasts…
Chapter 83 – False Demon Bear Nest 2 I looked at the thing that Ije was holding. It was a shortsword that was very pretty and shiny. I suppose the false demon bear had added it to the collection, because it shined. Thanks to that, it had not been thrown away. “That is a very…
Chapter 82 – The False Demon Bear’s Nest Ije had just run away from the nest. And so even if the false demon bear was dead, it would still be a place of fear for Ije. “Ije. You don’t have to.” “Ije is fine.” “While the tools would be useful, we can always go and…
Chapter 81 – Ije’s Village In Ije’s village, no, what used to be the village, there were about ten small buildings. The buildings were made by combining wood and vines. Ije looked at them and muttered sadly. “…Ruined.” “When the people are gone, buildings fall into ruin so quickly…” Out of the ten buildings, five…
