As we entered the Bear House, the two elf sisters looked around restlessly.
I made sure to have them take their shoes off before entering, of course.
「Yunchan, you're not going to take yours off?」
「They don't get dirty, so it's fine.」
I showed them the soles of the Bear-san Shoes.
「Oh, they really are clean.」
「Go ahead and find a place to sit while prepare dinner.」
「I'll help you.」
「Oh, me too.」
「No, it's okay. The two feel free to relax.」
I politely declined their offers to help. Before I started to prepare the food, however, I first went to the bathroom to prepare the bath, so we could get in right after diner.
I was looking forward to sleeping in my bed after a nice, warm bath.
When I was done, I went to the kitchen and prepared us a simple dinner.
It was just the usual: Morin-san's bread and Anzu's soup. This time around, I also chopped up some vegetables to go with it.
Rice would be quite nice, too, but taking out bread was just simpler.
「This is delicious.」
「Yeah, the soup is so nice and warm.」
「There's plenty more, so let me know if you want seconds.」
「I never would have imagined that we would be able to eat dinner in a house when camping outside.」
Sanysan said and looked around the room.
「Even if it rains, we can rest without having to worry about getting wet at all.」
Ruimin said earnestly, which sadly only made me imagine her getting drenched by rain during her trip to the capital.
「We don't have to keep watch, either.」
Ruimin continued her voice sounding even happier now.
I wouldn't want to keep watch all night, either, so I could understand how she felt.
Heck, just thinking about it made me sleepy.
「Even though we're in a house, we still need to keep watch. Thieves could attack while we sleep.」
Ruimin's face darkened when Sanysan said that.
「You don't have to worry about keeping watch; these two will do it for us.」
I said and looked at Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, curled up by my feet.
「Those two?」
「They will alert me if there are dangers nearby.」
The Bears realized I was talking about them, so they looked up and cried out softly.
「Wow, these summoned beasts of yours really are amazing.」
「They really are.」
The elf sisters looked at Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear with admiration, inciting another happy cry from them.
「Anyway, because they are here, we can rest easy.」
「Still, won't we need to stop by a town or village eventually, to get supplies?」
Sanysan asked me.
Well, I had plenty of food in my Bear Box, and we even had a bath here. We should have everything we needed for our trip, so there wasn't really a reason for us to purposely stop at any towns or villages.
With our bellies full, we moved to the living room, where we just relaxed for a bit. Ruimin eventually began to play with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear while Sanysan and I simply watched.
「So, Yunchan, where can we sleep? I don't mind sleeping right here in the living room.」
「There's a guest bedroom, so you can sleep there. Before we head of to bed, though, would you like to take a bath?」
「Yes…」
「Anyway, just think of the bath as a way to remove your fatigue from this trip. It's large enough for both of you to fit in at once.」
I had taken a bath together with both Fina and Noa, and we had no problems, so there should be plenty of room for the two of them.
「Seems like even all three of us could fit easily. Why don't you join us, Yunchan, so we can chat?」
Sanysan suggested after peeking into the bathing area.
「I'll take one after you two are done.」
「No, we can't have that. If we are going to take separate baths, then we should be the ones to go after you. We are the guests here, after all. You were kind enough to let us stay in this house and even cook us dinner. 」
「Onee-san's right. I'll wash your back for you, Yunsan.」
「No, you don't have to.」
ルイミンまでそんなことを言い出す。Even Ruimin is getting into it.
I attempted to convince them to let me take a bath myself, but failed spectacularly and ended up going in together.
Sanysan, as expected of an elf, has a beautiful body. Her breasts are by no means huge, but she has a slender build. She has no wrinkles anywhere, and her long light green hair just dangles off her shoulder. She has the feel of an adult woman.
Ruimin still looks like a child, but she has a slim build. The size of her breasts makes us comrades. Anyways, looking at the sisters made me wonder if elves' can get fat.
I've never seen a fat elf in any manga or game.
Now even Ruimin was trying to convince me.
I just wanted to bathe on my own today, but was shot down spectacularly and ended up going in with them.
As expected of an elf, Sanysan had a beautiful body. Her breasts were by no means huge, but she had a nice, slim figure. I could see no wrinkles on her skin, and her long, light green skin just completed the perfect picture. She had the feel of an adult woman.
While Ruimin's body more closely resembled that of a child, her waist was still way slimmer than mine. At least the size of her breasts were the same… Anyways, looking at slim these elf sisters were, was it even possible for elves to get fat? I had never seen a fat elf in any manga or games.
I stopped myself from staring at them and undressed as well.
I felt Ruimin's gaze on me, but I simply ignored it.
「You have beautiful hair, Yunsan.」
「Your hair is really pretty too, Ruimin.」
Her hair was very similar to that of Sanysan. As expected of sisters, huh.
Putting away my clothes, I noticed that Ruimin was already ready, while Sanysan was still taking off a bracelet from her wrist. The blacelete had a beautiful green gem in it. As expected of an adult woman; she wore a shining, ornate jewelry.
「Okay, I'm heading in first.」

Bubble bubble.
Ruimin submerged half her face into the water, making bubbles with her mouth.
With elf sisters now made up, we got out of the bath.
Should change into the White Bear? Better to stay as the Black Bear; it would be a pain to explain White Bear to them. I really had enough questions for now.
After we finished drying our hair, I took the two of them to their bedroom. It was the same one I had let Cliff stay in before. I had washed all the sheets and cleaned the room, so it should be like he was never here.
「There's a bed.」
「Can we really use this room?」
「Yeah, enjoy.」
I said and gestured them inside.
「Traveling on bears, which also keep guard for us, a house, warm food, a warm bath, and even beds. I really don't know who's the actual guide here.」
I couldn't get to the Elf Village on my own, though. I needed someone to guide me there.
「If any monsters cross our path, I will definitely protect you, Yunsan.」
Sanysan smiled as she watched Ruimin punch the air with her fists.
Wait… Would I have to somehow get us in situation where Ruimin could keep her promise?
Author's Note:
Only now it really feels like the elf arc has actually begun.
The e-book being published was an addition to the announcement about the second volume, so I wanted to announce it here.
