Nurarihyon no Mago 3rd Novel: Kyoto Fantasy Night Talk
Story 2 - Youkai Grocery Trip with Child in Tow
Chapter 1
“Hey! I’m going out for a walk.”
The Supreme Commander shouted in the direction of the kitchen. He was carrying a ten month old Rihan in his arms.
Looking at the garden from the corridor, the weather seemed very good that day. It would be such a pity to stay in the mansion, so the Supreme Commander decided to take a stroll.
Hearing the Supreme Commander’s voice, Youhime looked out from the kitchen. Her drooping long sleeves were tied behind her back with a rope, and she wore an apron, giving off an orderly feeling, it seems like she was preparing to cook. Even though Youhime is the Supreme Commander’s wife, but it’s not like she was able to avoid doing any household chores. She felt she needed to set an example, and perform duties as expected from a wife, so as to avoid having others saying bad things behind her back.
Youhime, who had looked out, smiled when she saw the Supreme Commander carrying Rihan securely. Yes! That’s the right way. Youhime’s face was filled with a smile of affirmation.
In the past, he would always drape Rihan over his shoulder like he was carrying a shoulder pole. Now he finally understood how to carry a child, Youhime felt very reassured.
“Where is Ayakashi-sama planning to go?”
Youhime asked.

“I’m not planning to go anywhere in particular, I’ll just go to wherever I feel like.”
“If Ayakashi-sama is going to the city streets, can you help me buy something? Please go to the vegetable and fruit shop and buy some radish.”
Just as she was about to cook, Youhime realised that there wasn’t enough radish.
The mansion’s vegetables, fish and rice are all purchased from various places.
Normally, the youkai in the mountains and rivers would bring back what they had gathered. Of course, they would occasionally buy things from the city streets.
“Radish, right? Okay, I got it.”
The Supreme Commander nodded readily. He initially planned to stroll through the city’s shops anyway.
Even though it was just buying something, but once he accepted someone’s request, a simple walk will start to have a purpose, which actually felt quite nice.
“Just radish is enough?”
“Yes!”
Youhime nodded, but almost immediately, another voice was heard.
“Ah! While you’re there, get some red carrots, burdock, cucumbers, and yam as well.”
The one who walked out of the kitchen after saying all that is the snow lady Setsura. Her clothes were also tied back with a rope, and she wore an apron, it looks like she is also helping in the kitchen.
