Book 2: Chapter 7-2: The Result of Effort
Youre acting in front of everybody in Erucy and then when you get home you start acting in front of Lucy-chan too? Dont you find it tiring?
Somewhat I guess. But Im used to it. In fact my goal is to become the person Im pretending to be.
Im a bit jealous that you think so much of Lucy-chan to do that. But someday Id like to see the bare plain Cyril-kun. For me any kind of Cyril-kun is fine.
If youre saying that seriously then youll need to climb your way up to an equal standing with me. As long as Im not the only one shouldering the future of Erucy on my back and youre able to act together with me as the representative of Fire Foxes and help guide Erucy down the proper path, I wont mind relying on you and acting spoiled.
The Fire Foxes were being harbored by me. However, no matter how hard I worked or how much they adored or respected me, deep in their hearts I wouldnt be their center. In truth the one who guided them and anchored them could only be Kuu.
I think Ive answered before, but Im the Chief of the Fire Foxes now. But thanks to those words Ive gained some courage. If I want to stand equally with you then I cant be flinching back at something like this.but would it be alright if we held hands for a little bit?
Of course.
Kuu reached out and softly gripped my hand.
Even though Fire Foxes had naturally high temperatures I could feel her hand was cold and shaking. I gripped her hand back tightly enough that it might hurt a bit.
Kuu felt that and smiled a bit as her shaking subsided.
Alright then lets go. For the future of Erucy.
A good phrase.
I smiled at that, Kuu hadnt said for the Fire Foxes future she had said for the future of Erucy. They were words that told me she had firmly decided to guide the Fire Foxes to truly join together with Erucy.
******************************
We climbed up onto the stage. The Elves had already taken their seats and gotten ready.Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com
The weather was getting colder and the chill of fall had set in making the hot soup seem even more appealing.
The first group of girls who came out were the young children. This would be the first close contact between Fire Foxes and Elves. I wanted to leave a good impression so I had the kids come out first since it would allow the elves to let their guards down.
Please enjoy.
Its hot so be careful.
Its really yummy~
Having these sweet young Fire Foxes set the table for them seemed to lift the mood of the Elven men. The women mostly looked at them with a maternal look in their eyes, but sometimes looked at the smirking Elven men with displeasurealthough a bit unpleasant this was a necessary evil.
The Fire Foxes were acting sociably. Im sure they were following Kuus orders when doing so, but I had worried if theyd be able to accomplish it well. However, it seems that was a needless fear.
If there werent these kind of emotions then no matter the intentions of this gathering then this would all come to nothing.
After serving the soup, the Fire Foxes poured alcohol in to the Elves cups before then pouring themselves a cup.
There werent any errors in the execution of this part of the party. I had been a bit worried about how things would go, but I see things had been properly communicated beforehand.
Id like to say that todays cooking is not the limit of what we are able to provide. As citizens of Erucy we would all like to contribute what we can. I cant speak for too long or the soup will get cold, Ill end it with this.a toast to the meeting of Elves and Fire Foxes and for the future development of Erucy Cyril-sama.
Yeah
Kuu and I were handed cups of alcohol from off-stage as Kuu brought up the idea of a toast.
The beginning of todays festivities was not only Kuus responsibility. As the Elven Representative I had to show my support as well.
Everyone raise your glasses! To new friends and allies! Cheers!
There were sounds of cups hitting each other from all corners. Then everyone took a drink.
