Wake up slowly.

When the sun comes up, the normal elves are still asleep, but I have work to do early in the morning, so I have to wake up.

When I woke up, Lucier, sleeping in a futon with me, began to move with her thighs.

It was a full winter and what a powdered snow it was last night. The thermal insulation in this house is not good, so this is how the two of us decide to sleep together, wrapped in a blanket of light. Lock up the temperature for two, so it's warm.

Instead, I enjoy it a lot while sleeping with Lucier under the pretext of not crossing the line.

"Good morning, Cyril. I'm going out now."

"Sorry, you woke me up. I'm coming to the Firefoxes today to take care of the goats and cultivate the turnips. Probably the last one today."

Since then, I've been going to the Firefoxes almost every day, demonstrating, teaching them how to take care of goats and turnips.

I came to remember my job, and I came back mentally stable. It's time to get your hands off me. I'll be fine.

"Really? Good."

"What was good about it?

"Cyril, I haven't been able to do much lately. I left early in the morning, and as soon as I got back, I did the doctor's job, then the chief's job, and when that was done, I was going to the workshop and working again, and I was worried that one day I would fall down"

"Thank you for your attention. But it's okay. Because I can only do what I can."

"Is there anything I can do to help? I can't teach you, but if you don't have enough people, I think I can help you."

"I'll just accept your feelings. But this is a fire fox job. Elves shouldn't help. I've decided not to do anything but teach."

"Okay. Good luck."

"Yeah, I'll do my best. I love you, Lucier."

"I love you too"

Gently lift Lucier's forehead, kiss her lips and get out of the futon.

"Samu."

Unexpectedly, I put it out in my mouth.

I miss Lucier and Futon. Pushing in the desire to go back now, I left the house after I was in good hands.

Shortly after I left Elsier, I approached the workshop I was renting to the Firefoxes.

Come on, I want to get you a separate home for them.

No matter how close you say, it would be pathetic if you could always push more than fifty people into one building. Even they must have privacy.

But it becomes important to know how many houses to build and where to build them.

Within Elsier, if I could make a home for each and every one of them, I would buy the Elves' disgust. Sooner or later around here, I'll call Loreu and Ku to talk to them and decide.

With that in mind, knock on the workshop door.

"Good morning, Brother Cyril"

"Morning, Brother Cyril"

"Dear Brother Cyril. Good morning."

Then the door opens up vigorously and the three young fire foxes hold on.

One is Chemin, the eleven-year-old girl of an active yellow fox, with her yellow wavy hair stretched to her shoulders.

The second is a faceless, cool twelve-year-old silver fox Yukino with semi-long straight silver hair.

The third bracketed his black, long hair behind him. It's a ten year old black fox crone.

Those kids are sticking to my right arm, my left arm, my torso and anywhere the three of them like, sniffing their noses and shaking their tails smelling them.

These three have been strangely nostalgic ever since they talked about their engagement to Qu. I had longing emotions from the beginning, but they were pulling a step back because of the elves.

But our engagement to Ku made us honestly sweet that we were our own brothers because we called them Sister Ku and became the husbands of those who admired her as well.

Originally, young ladies should have wanted someone like a father they could rely on. I guess it's sweet because I'm the only one who exists like that.

All three, of different types, but cute jumping through among the many beautifully shaped fire foxes. There are no prettier women than them except Khu and Lucier, even if they look at the whole Elsier. Ku's story is that he was expected to be in the future due to his popularity and adoration among fire foxes and his strong power over them, and he really wanted to let him go around with his destiny.

But Chemin wants to be with Sister Ku! and rumbled until he was around him, and strangely enough Yukino said that he saw a sign of vice over his fate and refused, and Krone insisted that it was better this way with friendly Chemin and Yukino in order to get his beloved mother to go over to her safe fate.

Khu also likes them,

"Guys, he's such a good kid, he thinks he's like his real sister"

Says.

Neither do I feel bad that they miss me. I like it young. When I'm about this young, I don't have to recognize her as a woman yet, so I can be completely adorable because I don't have the backwardness for Lucier or Ku.

Gasi stroking their heads. Lucier would love to stroke him gently, but these kids seem to like doing it a little painful.

"Good morning. Everyone's doing well today."

"Brother Cyril's here, and I'm feeling better."

"I'm glad Yukino's here too"

"Brother Cyril lives here with us. I've been with Crowe forever."

I look with anticipation up to the adult fire fox around in the words of Krone the last laid back black fox.

"I'm sorry. Because I'm Elsier's head. And I need someone important."

"... Too bad"

Sleepy. Three.

"Everyone, don't bother Cyril too much. Look, get ready to go out."

"" "Yes" "

When Qu said that, the three of them walked away from my body.

"Shall we all go, then? Unlike usual today, I don't give a clue. Be more careful than usual, because I'll see if I can do what I've taught you."

"Cyril, I get it. You're all right, aren't you?

The Firefoxes nodded at me and Ku's inquiry.

But Chemin, Yukino and Krone looked unfloated.

"What's wrong, all three of you?

"Well, Yukino said he had something to say."

Chemin of the yellow arc loses his usual activity and tells the story to Yukino of the silver fox.

"Chemin, sloppy.... Brother Cyril, when the Yukinos alone can take care of the goats and turnips, will you stop coming?

"Yukino, really? Cro, I can't take care of a goat by myself yet. Brother Cyril, you have to stay."

The three young Firefoxes seem afraid I'll be gone.

"All three, Cyril is busy. Don't put him in too much trouble. He's here because he can't afford to make time for me."

"But, Chro, I don't like it"

"I don't like Yukino either. Even Sister Ku must be sad to be unable to see Brother Cyril."

The three of us don't look clear, though Khu can't stand it. I wanted to do something for you when I saw it. Then you should have some trouble.

"Guys, you don't have to worry. Sure, I won't be coming for goats and turnips, but to see my pretty sisters, brother, every day, 'cause I'm coming to see you."

"" "Brother Cyril!

The three of us hold me again. I don't know, this warm feeling I give you makes me unwittingly want to spoil them more.

With that said, when you make a gift for Lucier, you leave the prototype behind without disposing of it. Let me give you that one. Compared to what I gave Lucier, the quality will drop, but he will be happy. I'm sure he gives me a pretty smile.

Happy. Is this what it's like to be a brother with a sister?

"Cyril, can I ask you one thing?

"Oh, fine."

Three colorful hairs and tails. Respond to Ku while indulging in the unique smell of the girl.

"Maybe Cyril is someone who likes kids?

"Of course, I like kids. I want to make it as soon as possible. I'm sure Lucier and Ku will have a pretty baby."

"Well, I'm sure you're okay with that kind of reply...... now it's time to go"

That's how I took the fire fox to the goat hut and moved it.

Dive through the barbed wire and walk for a while to reach the goat hut.

In the hands of the Firefoxes are wooden barrels.

When I open the door to the goat hut, I can smell the goat backwards.

"Come on, let's split up and do it"

Ku takes command, shares, rubs each and every one of them, hands on the milk, and takes the milk that comes out in a wooden barrel.

I can take about one or two liters.

Since there are ninety females, every day, about 150 litres of milk are expected.

It looks like I could milk it out of my whole head in less than an hour thanks to the way I've gotten used to the work of the day.

"Come on, we'll all kick the goats out."

"I got it."

"Yes, Sister Ku"

And then we open the door and kick out more and more goats. The expelled goat disappeared into the woods to find food.

It would be thoughtful, moving around and eating in the midst of barbed wire.

In the meantime, the Firefoxes are divided into two hands. One group is the cleaning squad. Collect the eating and manure, take it in charge from putting it together to fattening, then sprinkle the water and polish the floor clean, and finally replenish the dried caede leaves and water of the bait.

The second group is the processing squad for goat milk.

I was with him a second time.

"Ah, Brother Cyril, thank you for coming. Yukino, good luck."

The silver fox Yukino warms up all the goat milk collected in wooden barrels in a large torso.

I use a handmade thermometer made by me and keep it at 65°C. The thermometer contains coloured water and warming is an easy way to raise the water level.

"Yukino, I know it's been hard for a long time, but good luck"

If I don't sterilize it this way and then drink it, it breaks my belly. If I do it at 100°C, it will be over in about a minute, but the protein will displace and the taste will drop. In order not to do so, you have to keep warming while slowly stirring for thirty minutes at a low temperature of 65°C.

"Come on, come on"

Yukino's forehead is sweaty.

I've been using magic for a long time, and I'm focused on keeping it at a constant temperature. It's a lot heavier than it looks.

Had it not been for the Firefoxes, I would have sacrificed my flavor and nutrition early, but I would have given up pasteurization and set the gunfire on fire and pasteurized it. It's so hard to keep the temperature constant with firewood that I can't do it.

But she works hard to get everyone to drink some delicious milk without losing their hands.

And to the end, I did it.

"I can do it. Brother Cyril, did you take a good look at me? It stayed red on the thermometer all the way to the end"

"Good luck. Good luck."

"Yukino, eh?

"Yeah, it's hard."

I'll stroke your head. This is my favorite of the three. I like quiet kids, I like silver, I like the way they look.

The Firefoxes have variations in hair and tail color. Furthermore, certain colors seem to have powerful powers. The sequence of forces is: gold ≥ silver > black, yellow, white > red, ash. It is, with the most yellow, there is only one cu of gold and one yukino of silver.

"Yukino, won't you be our child?

"What about Chemin and Krone?

"Um, I guess the three of us are just hard"

"Only yukinos are cheats.... sooo, so wasted, but sorry"

"I'm kidding. Don't take it too seriously."

Half of it was serious. The removal of young children by the elves to adoptive children is being considered as a policy of reconciliation. It made sense to show that sample.

Even if I skip that reason, I'm sure Yukino will come to adopt me. With just one Firefox, the house is cooler in summer and warmer in winter. One thing for cooking, you don't even have to use firewood to start a fire. If you're curious about that, make a refrigerator and have the temperature dropped once a day, a pseudo-refrigerator will also work.

More importantly, he's cute and nostalgic, so he's soothing when he's with you, and he's never so young, Lucier, or jealous. I'm sure not. No, I'm getting anxious for some reason.... Let's make sure. If you do poorly, you will not trample the mine again.

"Brother Cyril, see if it's done right. I'll bottle if you like."

"Yeah, well done. I can't get this far either. Yukino is amazing."

"Yeah, Yukino, wow"

I go into the task of filling the glass bottle with the goat's milk that I was able to do so.

"Today, how many?

"Today, two hundred and twenty with the Yukinos"

"Almost, you're all drinking for me. Good."

Now I bottle the goat's milk every morning and deliver it to each house, for the number of people. The Elves put an empty bottle in front of the house in the evening and the Firefoxes collect it. Here, if you haven't left an empty bottle, you don't deliver the next day. Only when they want it the next day do the elves put an empty bottle in front of the house.

I'm doing that because the empty bottles are not numbered by the precious things I made by calling Queiro, and even though I don't drink them but deliver them, it's a waste.

"I'm done disinfecting. Praise Cro, too."

Krone, the black fox, calls out from a short distance. And I came over here on a small run with a boxed empty bottle. With a smiling eye, the adult fire foxes walk behind Krone with empty bottled boxes.

After washing the empty bottle, I put it on hot water and then reused it, and Krone was entrusted with the task. Washing empty bottles in the middle of winter is a plain but hard job.

"Krone is great, too. Guys, we're almost there. Good luck."

"Good luck"

"Good luck."

And then the bottle begins. Cool the yukino warmed goat's milk by magic, sprinkle it with a "shaku" and pour it one by one into an empty bottle. Size of 500 ml per bottle.

I'll probably have extra goat milk today.

"It's Cheese, Firefox Day"

"Do you get cheese in wheat porridge?

"Yukino, I heard it right. Chemin said he'd put cheese on cooking duty."

"I'm looking forward to it!

Firefoxes are thriving as they bottle goat's milk.

The excess goat milk is made into cheese, but since the amount that can be done is small, low tension in four days considering the number of people ratio, the first three days give all the cheese made to the elves, and the last day is all made of fire fox.

The fine distribution is to be at will in each race.... Because of this rule, some of the twisted elves, even though they don't usually drink them, drink them only the day before Firefox Day, even if they are mean, and put empty bottles away. Sooner or later, it has to be resolved. I hear they do that until they throw away the contents if they become terrible people.

"Cheese, cheese"

"Yukino, please, it's delicious. Clo, I like cheese."

"Leave it to me, Cro. I like Yukino too, so I'll do my best."

Yukino and Krone, who finished the bottle, began making cheese.

Bottle and heat the excess goat milk to 65°C again.

"I'm gonna put vinegar in it."

"Stupid."

And when Krone puts in a small amount of vinegar where it warms up enough, a white mass floats in the pan like snow after a while. This becomes cheese.

Krone slowly stirs the pan. After a while, the complete separation ended and the white mass stopped growing.

Now the cloth was used to filter it and cut the moisture into white solid cheeses. The liquid with the separation of the milk ingredients has become yellowish and transparent.

This liquid is also easy to drink due to its sour taste with nutritional tap and vinegar. The unique smell of the goat is attributed to the fat content, so the smell is gone.

I distribute this liquid to people who really don't have goat milk.

This time, the so-called cutlet cheese is the type of cheese that does not age. It contains high quality protein and calcium, with a fluffy soft texture and a gentle flavour that makes it easy to eat without dandruff.

"Done."

"It looks delicious."

I'll take care of the cheese that I made that way. I'm sure it will work great for lunch.

"Good luck, guys. Well, then, go deliver it. You don't have to be without me, do you?

"Yeah."

"I want you to come with me, but I'll be patient."

So Yukino and Krone and the others walked over to Elsier with milk bottles in the rear car. Heavy labor for the girls, but they'll be fine.

"Really, you're out of hand"

Everyone remembers their work quickly thanks to their good kids and motivation. He did well today even if I didn't have to give him a hand.

Next time, let's go look at the turnips.

"Guys, stay away from the glasshouse. I'll be there."

When I got to the turnip field, Khu was collecting fire mana and using witchcraft.

It melts the snow piled up in the glass house. If we don't, the light of day won't reach the turnips.

Turnips grow in glasshouses.

Even though it grew during the winter months, it was still a little slow to plant, so we needed a warm environment and sunlight.

"Oh, Cyril, you're here."

Ku notices me and speaks to me.

"Right. Because the goats are fine now."

"It's going well over here. Look, look."

Ahead of where Ku pointed, the Firefoxes are pulling out weeds that have finally grown around the turnip sprouts. Cubs also grow in greenhouses, but weeds that are not supposed to grow in winter grow together.

"And Chemin's doing his best."

Ku was right, Chemin was using fire magic in the greenhouse.

It's a magic trick that produces a sphere of fire designed to keep me warm. I'm also planting a thermometer here, which produces fireballs that I adjust to keep at the right temperature three times a day. Unlike my witchcraft, the composition is sweet and won't last half a day.

But thanks to her, I don't have to call Queiro.

I feel I can even grow potatoes in the middle of winter if I combine this magic with a glass house.

Most of all, it's difficult magic, so only three of the fire foxes can do it: Ku, Chemin and Yukino.

"Brother Cyril, are you here!?

I finished putting out all three fireballs and Chemin rushed me through the loose ends.

"We need to take a good look at this one."

"Yukino and Krone were okay? Yukino is my pace, and Krone is depressed."

"You both did a good job."

"Yeah, that's good."

stroke down his chest as Chemin relieved. She was a leader among the three of them, and I guess she cared.

"Then I need to hang in there, too. Brother Cyril, I'll see you later."

That's what I said. I went back to the glasshouse and mixed it up with the other fire foxes and started pulling out weed.

I'm supposed to be tired of using magic, but I'm rather moving more tediously than the other fire foxes.

"You're a good boy"

"Yeah, because Chemin is my proud sister"

Ku stretches his chest. She really wants to mingle with weed drainage too, but she is special and can be stopped by the other fire foxes when they try to do that.

"Ku, we have a military conference tomorrow. Come out as a Firefox delegate."

"Okay. You'll come when the snow clears, won't you? Hate... the Empire."

"That's right. So I have to grind my fangs. As it is now, we will surely lose. I'm going to talk to you about it."

Yes, if you have two thousand, if you collide head-on, you have no chance of winning. The situation has not changed.

But that's the premise that, as it is now, if we go out of our way to collide head-on. I don't feel like I'm staying right now, and I'm not going to fight you properly in the first place.

"Cyril, you look bad"

"Kind of. I'm thinking of a mean operation. Probably, but I think the Imperial Soldier will see harder eyes than death. Even if you survive, you'll never be able to fight again... breaking your heart, that's the kind of operation"

"Really, that's... nice. You can taste every tenth of our suffering."

There is a slight dark light in Ku's eyes. Usually flat, but there's a flame of vengeance burning inside her chest.

There are those who say hatred creates nothing, but it leads to the joy of living human beings. And first and foremost, it's not a loss. If I don't, I'm sorry.

"The turnip looks fine too. And then, if I don't get the right timing for the fertilizer, I can handle it. Thank you. Now I can rest assured."

"To thank you, tell those kids. Because I think Cyril would be happy to give you a compliment."

"Right."

I nodded and headed towards the fire foxes who came out of the glasshouse after work. Let me give you a lot of praise.

Both the goats and turnips were able to make sure the Firefoxes remembered their jobs well. Now the Firefox will have become independent and found their place. If we just do this, I'm sure the elves will recognize them, too.
