208 Bear-san Takes a Bath with the Elf Sisters

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.

「Yuna-chan, 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 I prepare dinner.」

「I’ll help you.」

「Oh, me too.」

「No, it’s okay. You 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.」

Sanya-san 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 Sanya-san 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?」

Sanya-san 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.
