Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari - Chapter 59

And this is why Firo is amazing.

There haven't been any enemies so far, but we cannot just take it easy.

But that's to be expected.

"Ahahahahahaha Firo-chan"

Pleasant things in life include food, sleep, and a close friends.

Once I became a university student I also lodged at my friend's house.

But...... To think these two would be so chummy.

No, the feeling I'm getting is what an owner feels for their domestic animals.

I thought that this culture looked down on animals and such.

"Okay~"

After replying they go right back to playing.

"Yay!"

After saying so Firo opens a bag that is concealed within the wagon, and shows the second princess it's contents.

The treasure of that bird. Is she just collecting the stuff I throw away?

"Master wants to see too~?"

Oh, a piece of a broken sword. Also trash jewels which I threw away after failing to make accessories with.

"Yeah, it's beautiful."

The second princess is putting on quite a subtle mask.

Is it because birds like shiny objects? I heard something like this before, it was an uproar caused by a crow stealing valuables.

Hmm?

"What's this?"

Since there was something strange mixed in the bag I took it out.

It kind of stinks.

Is this comparable to a cat's hairball? In human terms it's barf.

In other words the hard objects like bones and whatnot that Firo eats are dissolved into......this.

"It's finished!"

What is? I just realised I'm still holding onto the hairball.

"That's not a treasure! That's waste! If I see another one of those in your bag I'm throwing it all away!"

"Hm?"

"Yup. Because I saw it yesterday."

Well that's good.

"How is this skewer so delicious!? It's just meat on a stick!"

The second princess eats anything without flinching. It seems my fears of her not eating barbaric cuisine is groundless.

My expectations were betrayed. It seems the queen brought her up nicely.

"If it's with Naofumi-sama we can eat this everyday."

"I see, that's good."

Now then,for my spare time time. I'm getting quite used to camping out.

After a few minutes the second princess and Firo quiet down.

Raphtalia is going to take a nap.

And I have to prepare for any night attacks.

"Hmmm......"

Despite it being beginner class, there are various kinds of magic.

Though I haven't read the book completely some beginner class magic was learnt.

I would like to learn the more difficult spells, but deciphering difficult concepts and grammar is hard.

While mixing medicine I am unable to calm down. I haven't advanced much in poison compounding, but I can sort poisonous herbs and understand a few recipes.

"No......Do you want to change?"

"Okay."

Since Raphtalia is taking my place I decided to lay down.

"Umm, Naofumi-sama?"

"About Firo and Princess Melty......"

Raphtalia points towards Firo's Philo Rial · Queen form with trembling fingers.

There is nothing behind Firo either......

"Nonono! No way!"

"U....."

Can it be?Did you recognize Friend = Edible partner?

"Yeah. Our crimes are certain now......"

Seriously, this Fat bird does the most outrageous things.

"Funya?"

Firo wakes up and tilts her head.

"Raphtalia Onee-chan? Master? What happened?"

"Melty-chan? Melty-chan is sleeping within Firo's feathers."

But it is undeniable that the second princess came out of a strange place.

"Master did you wake me up to look for Mel-chan? Here she is."

"......Why did you take your clothes off?"

"Firo-chan's feather's are soft and fluffy, they are also mysterious and thick you know? You want to feel it?"

Since the princess is becking I stretch my hand out.

As I thought, her temperature is hot.

It seems to only swell a little.

"What the heck is with this bird's structure."

"Should we examine by plucking all her feathers? I might even make a profit from selling the feathers."

"No roughing up Firo-chan!"

Hmm......Today it seems I have had a glimpse at the strange anatomy of this bird.
