By the time you get tired of the autumn flavors, the winter footsteps are approaching.

Winter is coming to the farm again this year.

Norito, the second son, was born in winter for the first time.

Nevertheless, both I and the farmers have experienced winter many times already, so there is no rush anymore.

Prepare firewood, charcoal and blankets to keep warm and say, "It's winter, come with me! and so on.

The spirits of the earth also fall asleep in winter when their vitality is scarce.

Good night ~!

Until next day!

It's been a while!

And he digged back into the earth and dived.

When those noisy earth spirits fall asleep, they quickly become quiet and become winter costumes.

In the meantime, one small, unusual event happened.



"Huh? What? Souvenirs?"

It was Kuma who suddenly told me.

I've been on the farm for a while calling him a homecoming, but isn't he hibernating?

Bears hibernate, but apparently he's not.

Technically, it's not just a bear, it's a bear monster.

It was the winter area of the mountain dungeon that I encountered, and I guess I'm basically strong against the cold.

Would you like that as a souvenir?

"Yes, when I came to visit, I thought that if it wasn't one of my souvenirs, I would be polite... but I got unexpectedly tired of catching salmon, and I put it behind me...!?"

As always, one of the Goblins acts as an interpreter.

"No, no, you don't have to do that...!?"

If the bear was born on a farm, is this your home?

A souvenir for visiting your family is such a rude manners!

"Demonstrating the utmost respect to the other person, whether he is a close associate or a close associate, is the rule of thumb that he learns when he goes out."

You've acquired Eternal Magic.

Okay, well, thank you for taking care of Bear.

I wonder what the bear brought me.

"Gow"

"'This way,' he said.

That's what they offered me...

It was one girl.

He was tied up with a rope to keep him from escaping.

"Help me! Kill me and don't eat me!!"

He was in a rage crying.

But the rope's commandments cannot be lifted.

"Kumaaaaaaaaa!?"

What do you mean the gift is human!?

Human trafficking!?

Slavery!?

I won't admit it at all, either from the feelings of the modern man or from getting used to this world!

Did you go out and learn something bad!?

"Gou, gou...!?"

"'Please calm down', my lord...!Please tell us a little more about it....! "

Goblin, it's hard to interpret!

By the way, the interpreter is one of his subordinates, not Gobji, though he is a goblin.

"This is not a human girl, it's not a gift intended to be a slave."

Ha?

"This one is a monster. Bee-shaped monsters, Royal Honeybees, and their queen bees."

"Bee!?"

Speaking of which, this annoying girl.

If you take a closer look and observe, you will see a lot of the stark features of humankind.

There are indeed insect-like clear wings stretching from the back, and the eyes are black and double-eyed.

Like two thin lines stretching from your forehead?

Other features varied from place to place, indicating that she was not human at all.

"Of course, there aren't many monsters with shapes so close to humans, and I can't help but be embarrassed.I don't even talk to you like this.... "

Goblin called.

Looking at him, I thought they were the same form as the outsiders!

"Suspicious monster? Like you?"

"I think it should be called an alien monster because of the intertwined characteristics of other creatures...But I don't know how to communicate with you. "

Have you been affected by the farm and germinated the qualia?

Anyway, I'm vigorously and vigorously begging for my life.

Don't kill me! Don't kill me!Please, I don't want to die!! I don't want to be cooked and eaten together by mixing it with rice!! "

Isn't that what you do at the larval stage?

Either way, I'm not from Central, but I don't have the courage or the courage to try that cooking.

"What's wrong with this kid...?I've slept where I should be independent for so long, that I was finally beaten up by my beautiful ancestral queen bee and forced to become independent? "

"No, he was caught destroying all the nests he used to run."

The nest, the destruction?

Who did such a terrible thing?

"Look, don't you love honey?The bear smiled. '

Is he the killer!?

"Do you really think it's salmon or honey when it comes to bear favorites?"

A picture of a bear licking honey on its forefoot easily comes to mind.

"On their way to the farm, they found the nest of Royal Honeybee that was being formed and entered it instantly with too much tension himax.The nest is completely destroyed. "

I had a picture of a house stuck in a dump in my head.

I think it was like that.

"That said, they're monsters, so if they build a nest like that, the neighbors will be annoyed.With a large army and individual viciousness unmatched by ordinary bees, if they were attacked, there would be about one village destroyed... "

"Really?"

I was afraid of monsters.

That's why the bear dusted the monster bee nest for the neighbors and was treated heroically.

"Does Bear always do that?"

"Moreover, the honey collected by Royal Honeybee is more intense and nutritious than usual, and it is traded as a luxury product, so it is simultaneously scraped out of the destroyed nest.The neighboring village was financially moisturized, and the bear was increasingly thanked. "

You're a hero, bear.

Good deeds?

"But thanks to that, I had to share the honey that was the most important purpose of Kuma, and I couldn't lick the honey that I wanted to make all the honey that I wanted to own!"

Bear!

What a dedication!?

"Only half."

Wouldn't you like to get a full share?

But as a bear, it wasn't a satisfactory amount, so you took the trouble to bring us the living queen bee.

"If we can get a steady honey from the Royal Honeybee, we'll be able to have a superb level of farming."

It's delicious.

Even the seemingly heroic bear couldn't control his appetite for honey.

How does a steady supply of honey work?

That means....

"Beekeeping...!?"

Beekeeping from this monster's queen bee to provide a steady supply of honey?

"Huh? What? You're not gonna kill me? You're not gonna eat me?"

The Queen of Monster Bees, who was most familiar with death, takes a fresh turn realizing that she finds value in herself.

"Ho ho ho ho ho!You're a very attractive human being who wants my honey!Great! If you can give me a whole mountain around here to make my nest and collect honey enough to wither and scatter all the flowers around me, I can give you a spoon of it as a reward for the place! "

Disgusting.

Is this the origin of the monster bee?

"What will you do, my lord?"

"Well, that's settled, isn't it?"

A word in response to a groaning goblin.

"Definitely refuse"

"Yeahhhhhhhhh!?"

Didn't you think it would be rejected?

The queen bee and the bear tremble with shock.

"No, because normally, it's not going to match a spoon of honey, is it?I can't believe the mountains and all the flowers around me are dead. "

"Is it!? Is it Ayame of Words or Momentum!?"

He's the type to say extra things on the spot.

Bears drink as much honey as they expected.

"But wait! Honey is sweet and delicious!Melting! It would be a great benefit to leave such honey on your table!You can think deeper!? "

The queen bee suddenly turns into a sales talk.

But it's a shame.

There will be a lot of people who love honey in the world, but honey doesn't seem that attractive to me.

For what reason?

"Because I have this!!"

It is famous as a honey pachimon...

Maple syrup!!
