Part 4 

When the group of four were on their way back from the shop, the buildings in the Community were already dyed with the hues of the setting sun. 

The problem children then made a beeline for the residential area. 

Whereas Kuro Usagi had gone straight to the location of the leader, Jin Russel’s residence, to make the final confirmations on the order list of inventory and food that is to be placed with [Thousand Eyes]. 

And running from the Great Hall to welcome them was one from the Senior Group, a girl with kitsunemimi[8] and sporting a Japanese style apron. 

The fox girl was full of smiles as she greeted Izayoi and the others. 

“Welcome back, Izayoi-sama, Yō-sama ……eh? Where’s Asuka-sama?” 

Bounding over energetically, the fox girl looked all over for Asuka. 

Izayoi and Yō gave a slight shrug of their shoulders as they explained. 

“She headed off to the baths first saying that she has sweated a lot.” 

“It must have been the stuffiness from being close to the [Batsu]. Come to think about it, it sure is a great thing that [Thousand Eyes] is willing to buy it from us.” 

“Buy it……? Ah! I see! So it’s like that! Thank you for your hard work!” 

Energetically perking up her kitsunemimi, that was an easily understood response from one who had much expectations for the performance of Izayoi and the others. But, seeming to feel that her thoughts were much too realistic, her kitsunemimi were awash with a colouration of crimson as they tilted down. 

Regarding those ears that make it easy to understand the multitude of expressions, Izayoi and Yō could only exchange a wry smile. 

“Don’t worry. We have caught a big prey this time so we will be able to have no worries about our food shortages for a while.” 

“We have already placed a big order on ingredients from [Thousand Eyes] and it will be delivered the next day. So, we will be troubling you with the receiving of the order and the management for their storage areas.” 

“Ye, Yes! Understood! Then, what are your plans? If you would like to have your meal, I can start the cooking preparations right away.” 

“No, I will be waiting for Ojou-sama to have her bath first before eating together. What about you, Kasukabe?” 


“I…… Uu.” 

Her words suddenly trailed off abruptly. 

Yō, who was staring fixatedly at the kitchen, tilted her head slightly to ask. 

“That is quite a nostalgic fragrance. Could it be the smell of the lye extraction from the ashes of bamboo shoots?”[9] 

Aye? After Yō’s words hit the mark, the fox girl was frozen on the spot. 

“Eeh, About that,…… Ye, Yes it is. Hearing Yō-sama mutter something about “I really miss Japanese seafood cuisines”…… so I wanted to give you a surprise and made many many preparations.”[10] 

“Yeah?!” 

Thinking “Gosh, I screwed up!”, Yō had a bitter expression as she looked aside. 

Because of the superior sense of smell that Yō possessed when compared to the common man, it was no wonder that she was able to tell what was going on in the kitchen. 

The Gift that she possessed, the [Genome Tree], was one that gives her the ability to communicate with dogs, cats, dolphins, bats and many other types of animals. And if there is a connection forged between them, it would grant her the abilities of the animals. Among them are the abilities carried by eudemon types such as the Gryphons. 

It seems like she had just burst the surprise for herself and the atmosphere was really awkward then. 

Unable to watch this situation any further, Izayoi gave a slight shrug of his shoulders and offered a helping hand. 

“So, what would be the key dish in the menu?” 

“Ye, Yes. Because of the ingredients of some quality tender chicken meat, bamboo shoots and some wild mountain vegetables, I thought of making a tempura out of them. Removing the lye slightly from the freshly gathered bamboo shoots, it then brings out the fresh sweetness of the bamboo shoots. Using these bamboo shoots for the tempura and adding a little salt to taste will couple it with the sweet fragrance of spring in its taste……. Ah, there’s also the other vegetables gathered from the small garden in the backyard that is used to fill it with the essence of vegetables—“ 

“Sorry Izayoi, I will be digging in first.” 

“Don’t mind me for I will start first as well. …… Come to think about it, is there some spare bamboo shoots that are not used for the dishes? If there’s some leftovers, I would like to order Takenoko Gohan[11].” 

“Ah, That’s a good idea. May we trouble you with that?” 

“Ye, Yes! I will make the preparations immediately!” 

Seeing their understanding response, the fox girl naturally relaxed herself and became cheerful. 

Pitter Pattering her two tails, she seemed to be in a very good mood as she returned to the kitchen to start the dinner preparations.
