“Wow, haha, Setsu is getting bigger and bigger, so if you jump at me like that, I’ll fall over.” (Illuna)
“Yeah, we’re having a barbecue today! –But Setsu has never been to a barbecue party yet, right?” (Illuna)
“Barbecue is fun! We’ll eat lots of meat and fish!” (Shii)
“…Don’t underestimate grilled vegetables. Grilled vegetables are very tasty. Even Illuna, who doesn’t like vegetables that much, will eat many grilled vegetables.” (Enne)
“I-I-I eat vegetables all the time as well you know!” (Illuna)
“Vegetables are tasty though.” (Shii)
As she listened to the Illuna’ words, Setsu’s tail wagged faster and faster, probably out of anticipation.
“I’ll help. Get ready!” Setsu cried energetically, but Illuna was a little worried about what to do, so Rir decided to handle the situation.
“Really? Okay, then Setsu, please patrol this area with your Dad!” (Illuna)
“Kuu, kuu! Kuu, kuu!” (Setsu)
Setsu cried, “Leave it to me! Dad, hurry up! Mommy, we’re going!” and ran off. Rir said to his wife, “I’m counting on you,” and followed his daughter.
On a side note, Rir was already at the top of the ecosystem in this area, so the monsters in the area normally wouldn’t attack anyone in Rir’s presence.
On the contrary, as soon as they sensed Rir and the others’ presence, they immediately ran away from the vicinity, so there’s really no need for them to patrol at all.
When Setsu was excited, she could be a bit clumsy, and it felt like she might break something if she continued , so that from happening, Rir used this chance to plan for a patrol.
Rir’s wife knew what her husband was thinking, so she smiled and saw the two off. Then, she growled at the girls as if to say, “Come on, if you’re getting ready, let me help you.”
“Thanks! Then we’ll assemble the table and chairs, so please put them up there! Let’s enjoy the barbecue together, Mrs. Rir!” (Illuna)
“Okay, let’s get ready! I’m looking forward to eating meat! What do you like, Mrs. Rir? Shii is excited, it’s meat after all!” (Shii)
“…Being Fenrir, Mrs. Rir must like meat too. All is well with meat. But seafood is also delicious. Tuna steak is the best” (Enne)
“When it comes to seafood, I like big clams, like the ones big brother likes the most. The ones seasoned with soy sauce and butter! I wanted Mrs. Rir to try them too–but I don’t know if there are any shellfish the size that can satisfy a Fenrir…” (Illuna)
“Ah, that’s delicious! It tastes like luxury!” (Shii)
“Kuu, Kuu” (Mrs. Rir)
Smiling at what the girls said, Mrs. Rir cried, “Haha, even small ones are fine. Since we’ve come all this way, I’d like to try all of your favorite foods.”
They were enjoying the relaxing days as well as the noisy days.
For Mrs. Rir, her days since coming here have been truly fulfilling.
Even for Fenrirs, living in the wild was hard, and one mistake could mean death.
In fact, she came to the Demon Forest almost on the brink of death.
But since she started spending time with Yuki’s Family, there had been a definite peace in her life.
A family that her husband served.
No, to her, she would call them her pack members.
“Huh? What is it, Mrs. Rir?” (Illuna)
“Kuu, Kuu” (Mrs. Rir)
Mrs. Rir smiled and prepared the barbecue with her adorable children.
