Chapter 17 - Big Dinner Party

"Onii-sama.. smell goods..." Regardless of how much Chiyuki loves me, cooking while being hugged is very difficult.

 As promised earlier, tonight we are cooking Queen Thorn Wild Boar meat. There is no special technique needed to cook this half-cooked meat.

 Well, sometimes girls don't care about their appearance. They come back after hunting animals like this with a ruined appearance.

 Therefore, I told them to take a bath before dinner. There is nothing more enjoyable than relaxing after dinner and sleeping, right?

 All their needs from the beginning have been fulfilled, and the house that we built slowly took shape. I don't know what magic Mercedes used to build it, but it saved us a lot of time. No one complained about it, so let it be.

 "Hmmm~ Heeeem~ Onii-sama..." Chiyuki became more active in hugging my body tightly.

 "Chiyuki, how about this?" While saying that, I gave her a small portion of the broth I was making.

 I'm not good at cooking, but I have the knowledge needed to cook. Cooking for nobles is just a tutorial for survival when they are forced to travel far and only rely on the food ingredients they find.

 I tasted it a little, according to my tongue, it's not a problem. I don't know what about Chiyuki's tongue.

 "Fufu~ Onii-sama's. Enjoy your meal!" I felt like I hadn't spoiled Chiyuki for too long. So this was the right time to spoil my little sister.

 "How does it taste?" I asked.

 "There's nothing strange, it's just..." Chiyuki's tone suddenly dropped.

 "I think it's still not sweet enough, usually children like a taste that isn't too heavy" While saying that, Chiyuki sprinkled some additional food and tasted it.

 "Emm! This is just right!" Chiyuki shouted.

 "Really?" because I was a little curious, I slowly took a few small samples using a spoon but Chiyuki forcibly snatched the spoon and threw it away.

 "Em, Chiyuki??" I was a little confused by her behavior this time.

 Chiyuki immediately grabbed a small sample of broth and put it in her small mouth. I could see the small broth dripping out of her mouth.

 Her behavior was strange and full of suspicious actions.

 I could feel that I was in danger!

 Slowly, Chiyuki moved closer to me. She seemed to be giving her body to me. However, her action of hugging me from the front was enough to make it clear what she was going to do.

 "Chuu~" a sweet attack from my little sister made my body numb. My brain couldn't respond to what was happening but one thing was for sure.. I could feel the sweetness passing through my tongue.

 Chiyuki quickly covered my lips and took the opportunity to play with it. This shouldn't be a problem, right? There were no rules regarding the limits of physical contact here. There were several kingdoms here that straightened their bloodlines using pure blood, but the results of that relationship resulted in generations that were.. quite difficult to say.

 "Onii-sama, one more time. Chuuu~" I could understand this second kiss. For the first kiss, it might still be in the tasting stage, but for this second one. I can feel the love in it.

 Responding to my little sister's kiss, I stroked Chiyuki's head and stroked her soft hair a little.

 "Hey, that's not a good example to do in front of the children."

 I heard our father's voice appearing with the wolf girls who had finished cleaning themselves.

 "Mhmmm, this reminds me of our harmonious times."

 This time, my mother appeared with the children.

 "Master, isn't it unfair if only Chiyuki-sama gets it? Your servant needs affection too!" This time Mercedes protested.

 What kind of chain effect is this?

 Chiyuki is currently in her best mood.

 On the other hand, Mercedes who is working hard to build our residence is in a slightly bad mood.

 "In this condition, try to be fair Karl," said my mother.

 Because of my mother's words, I could see Mercedes' eyes glistening with hope for something.

 "Haah~ Okay.. come here Mercedes," I said giving up.

 "Yey, thank you, Master!"

 "Sorry to ruin your romantic time but, aren't we going to have dinner?" my father asked.

 "And also... Karl.. keep your promise to them..." father's last words flowed as a wolf girl advanced.

 Ah, so he was the one who contributed fully to this hunt.

 A promise is a promise...

 I then stroked the wolf girl and in an instant, her tail moved quickly. My action slightly provoked the other wolf girls who witnessed it.

 Well, this is perfect to motivate them to try harder, right?

 [...]

 For us, survival is our main goal. No matter how discriminatory we get, as long as it's to survive, we don't mind it. When my parents were still alive, we lived deep in the forest. Hunting was a basic skill that we had. Without that skill, our people would starve to death.

 Because of the incident of the expansion of the ferocious monster's habitat, our residence became the target of an attack and we were the only ones who survived. Luckily, there was a group of humans who took us to a temporary shelter.

 And for some reason, we arrived in Duke Flora's territory. Rumors were spreading rapidly about this family. It could be said that they had just carried out a mass massacre for the traitor who played behind their backs.

 I agree with that, betrayal is a great sin for us. So, after making a contract agreement that benefits us. Karl-sama taught us some trapping methods that we had never thought of before. Usually, we use daggers and arrows to hunt, occasionally using thorn traps covered with leaves. However, after Karl-sama introduced us to a liquid that produces a strong destructive power. Instantly, our hunting instincts became active.

 We, the wolf girls of the Lyod tribe offer our utmost loyalty to the Duke Flora family and it is proven by hunting the Queen Thorn Wild Boar.

 The task was very easy because the Thorn Wild Boar in our place is much more ferocious than in the Duke Flora territory. In our place, we must at least gather several hunter troops to defeat it but with the help of the knowledge taught by Karl-sama, we use explosive traps for surprise attacks.

 "Hime-sama, how about this? Do we need to use the equipment he demonstrated?" a close friend of mine said to me. The question was a little impolite but with our situation like this, it will take some time to adapt.

 Accepting a leader for our group takes at least a year and currently, I am the only temporary leader of this group.

 Because our tribe is dominated by women, finding a male leader has become a tradition when the previous leader decides to step down or experiences an unexpected incident.

 "Xia, in this kingdom. Karl-sama has important power. So don't call him that. Call Karl-sama with full respect!" This kind of learning is very important to survive in the human world.

 "I'm sorry, Hime-sama. I'll be more careful in the future."

 "Xia, remember this… our current status is part of Duke Flora. As long as that contract flows within us, so will our respect."

 "I'll remember that, Hime-sama."

 After understanding her mistake, Xia was a little obedient to started paying attention to the lesson given by Karl-sama, and then Chiyuki-sama invited us to try what Karl-sama had just taught us.

 The trap named Booby Trap was a very beautiful trap art. A double-edged sword that could play with the hunter and the hunted. My nose still remembered what ingredients Karl-sama mixed.

 With a little concentration and a small memory of the aroma I inhaled, I managed to create the same potion.

 "Oh! You're done, it turns out be perfect mix," Chiyuki-sama saw me holding the explosive potion and walked over to me.

 This was the first time I had been praised like this other than by my parents.

 "T-thank you," I replied.

 "Hmm.. seeing your talent like this. Why don't we just hunt together?"

 "Eh?"

 I didn't know if our little conversation would lead us to hunt the Queen Thorn Wild Boar. Various basic strategies to find their homes were very easy to obtain, that's because I was used to hunting them.

 But one thing is for sure, Chiyuki-sama brought an object with a stronger scent and felt comfortable to the nose.

 The scent was similar to the explosives we made, but I think it had a higher destructive power.

 When we found the Thorn Wild Boar family and the sleeping Queen Thorn Wild Boar, I conveyed my plan to set a large trap that was enough to panic the monsters.

 My little idea was welcomed by Chiyuki-sama who joined us in our hunt.

 We rushed to make a trap that was often passed by the monsters using their footprints and body odor. The trap we prepared turned out to be very easy to make and only took 15 seconds to set.

 The problem is...

 How do we lure them into our trap?

 Chiyuki-sama seemed to realize the problem we were facing. Chiyuki-sama smiled at our seemingly novice behavior.

 "I think.. you are still too young to hunt alone," After saying that, Chiyuki-sama immediately lifted the object she always carried and smiled gently looking at the Queen Thorn Wild Boar.

 "Just this once, this Onee-san will help you," Right after that, a sudden scream entered our ears.

 The sound produced an explosion that woke the Thorn Wild Boar and moved in panic after waking up from their sleep.

 KABOOOM!!

 Suddenly, the Queen Thorn Wild Boar lay stiff in front of us. With its stomach broken and the smell of grilled meat piercing our noses.

 At that time, for some reason, we remembered Karl-sama's words that promised us food based on our hunt.

 In other words, our dinner later will be... Queen Thorn Wild Boar meat?

 "Fufufu~ Onii-sama will be surprised if he sees this meat."

 Like an angel, we witnessed Chiyuki-sama's sweet smile.

 "Ah, good job Hime-chan!" Once again, the warm feeling of Chiyuki-sama's praise melted my heart.

 "Ah! Does that mean Hime-chan is the one who got the present from her Onii-sama?"

 For some reason, a very scary feeling came over me. My body hair suddenly stood on end.
