6 . I was asked by Kuro,



 Let's think again about sub-humans.

 They generally have the same body as the race and have parts of other living things in their bodies.
 They usually have the abilities of other living things that they have.
 Very rarely, there are subspecies that can change from human form to other living things.

 Why have I been thinking about this since early in the morning?

 In my bed, after I just woke up.
 Because there was a girl sleeping where Korok, the little black bear I slept in bed with last night, was supposed to be.

 Korok had been sleeping with me since I fed her first, and she had become very friendly with me, but... Korok seemed to be a subhuman subspecies.

 He seemed to notice that I was awake, and Korok woke up with a start.
"Ahhhhh... master, good morning, bear.
 I smirked.
 When the blanket slipped off Korok's body, he was bare underneath it, and as expected, this was pitiful, so when I tried to find something to wear.......
Hey, little girl! It's a nice day today, I want my bedclothes.......
 I was just about to knock when Unja, the cat person (Cat People), walked in, found Korok on the bed and froze.
'Bear!'
 Korok, who was not good at Unna, also stiffened on the spot.
 ''........................B-boy? ... this is ... whose child is this?
 It's something of a cringe and a strange, hard smile, Unja.
 For now, calm down.

 At breakfast, I introduce Korok to everyone again.
"Nice to meet you all~
 Korok smiles at everyone as he fills his mouth with his breakfast potato salad. Everyone is soothed by the sight of him.
Well you're not allowed to sleep in Safate's room from now on.
Kumar!
 It was Korok, who exclaimed at Erdena's words.

 Korok said.

 Scary people were chasing me around.
 It's a bear that ran away hard.
 The bear was able to get away faster than the one in bear form~
 I managed to get away, but I'm starving!
 There was a field.

 Una I'm so scared...

Korok? What did you say?

 It's nothing.

 They may have been attacked by slave-hunters or robbers or something of the sort.
 Korok must have had a rough time of it, too, for such a young man.......

 Korok is still very young and is very energetic and loves to play.
 Even when I'm teaching Yome to study, he doesn't hesitate to come in and play with me.
'Master! Let's play, bear!
 And every time they flirt with each other, they are pinned down by Unja.
 Since Aura is still recovering from her injuries, her younger sister Ela is the only one who can play with her, but it seems to be a challenge for her to deal with the dragon people, even if she is a dragon person.
 However, Ela is still very young, and she is very happy to have a friend of the same gender who is close in age to her unexpectedly, and she plays with him until she is exhausted.

 Korok playing with Ela was a smiling sight, but
 The amount of food he ate was unbelievable.
 After all, he gobbled up as much as four people - me, Erdena, Unna and Jorda Yohme - all at once... Where does he fit into that tiny, thin body?
 We'd better hurry up with our planned field expansion.

''Well how should I put it...........................one problem after another.
 Erdena sighs as she checks the food stockpile.
The only thing that matters is that we are fortunate enough to start living together like this, so we have to do our best to provide for them.
"...We? Is it?
Yeah. Us.
 At my words, Erdena turned something bright red and slumped.
 What did I say that was so strange?

 The next day, after a long time, Black's merchant team of demons (Ogre People) came to the village.
''What is it?'' When did you get more bear girls and even more owl sisters?
 Then Black laughs, as usual.
 His laugh makes me feel better.

 This time, Black has brought me a small request.
 He told me that there was an epidemic of a disease in a remote eastern city and asked me to make some medicine to treat it.
 When Black was shown a list of the requested medicines, he decided to accept the request since they were all capable of being manufactured with his home facilities.
 As the quantity was quite large, we had to wait a few days before we could make them all.
 In the meantime, Black and his followers, the demons, have been helping me to build more fields.

 They knew all the varieties I had gotten from the village at the foot of Mount Gorun and told me what I could plant now and when to plant the ones I could not.
 We were amazed at Kuro's knowledge, as he travels from town to town and village to village doing his business.
 We finished all the chemicals Black asked us to make in 4 days.
 Basically, Erdena and I made them, but we also asked Yome to help us with our studies.
I'm sorry to pay you later, but I'll bring you the money when I've made the delivery. You can look forward to a souvenir while you're at it.
 With that said, Kuro hurriedly departed.
 Although he said he was looking forward to bringing back some of his own produce, he had already left behind a good amount of vegetables and other sundries this time as well, and I felt sorry for him.
 We would be happy to help them in the future if we could, as we did this time.

 A few days later.
 We are headed to the village at the foot of Mt. Gorun for our monthly delivery of medicine to the village.

 This time it was decided that it would be just me, Jorme and Aura.
 Erdena and Unna didn't agree to go with us until the last minute, and after a lottery among all of us, those two were given detention....

 This time we set out with a few building materials.
 On the way, we stayed one night at a place where we found a dense concentration of trees with thick trunks that we found last time, and we used the materials we brought to make a little hut on top of the trees.
 Since we didn't have a lot of materials, we were only able to build a simple roof to protect us from the rain, but if we can gradually enhance it in this way, it should be a comfortable place to stay between us and the village at the foot of Mount Gorn.
 The next day, we left our lodgings in the trees early in the morning and arrived at the village at the foot of Mount Gorn before noon.
 On that trip, we went to the union office to deliver the promised medicine.
 This is quite a valuable source of income, thanks to the union's purchase of them.

 While I was talking with the union's ant people, Alea, we talked about the frontier city of Greencombe in the south.
 I heard that there was an epidemic of a disease that was spreading through the city and that it was in serious trouble.

 I asked him about the situation, and it seems to be the same disease that is spreading in the eastern frontier city where he was headed.

 This epidemic is nearly impossible to cure with any kind of magic, and only special medicines with special ingredients can make it effective.
 Most of the doctors in Greencombe seem to be magical doctors, and since there is no one who can mix drugs, it seems that they are unable to control the spread of the disease.
 I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I'm sure it's a good idea for you.
 It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you want to do with it, but it's not a good idea to have a good idea of what you want to do with it.

 Two days later, when I returned home, I gathered everyone together and discussed this with them.
 As expected, Erdena was
I don't care about the family that treated you like that...
 While saying that, he has a complicated expression on his face.
 After all, he must be worried about his family.
 For the time being, I thought about giving the medicine to the guards guarding the gate and returning home, but Unja objected, saying that there might be someone from the royal capital who might be there.

 After thinking it over, we decided to execute a little plan.

 The first step was to create a potion.
 Since we already knew what the special ingredients were, we were able to produce a significant amount of the potion in two days.
 We carried it by wagon to the vicinity of the green combe.
 We used a mountain road to avoid being seen by travelers and guards, but Erdena from Greencombe was very knowledgeable about this area.

 As it was, I waited for it to get dark, and I approached one of the gates of Greencombe in secret, with Korok.
 Naturally, I cast a cloaking spell to eliminate any sign of them.
 Korok is quite powerful in bear form, so I have him carry a crate of medicine in bear form.
 It seems to be a part of the game from Korok's point of view, and he was happily following behind me.
 Anyway, I successfully left the wooden box containing the medicine in front of the gate like this and left.

''........If I had put a letter in it, your reputation would have been better......''
 Erdena seemed slightly unhappy.
 For me, I wasn't really interested in that kind of thing, because I think that if the people in the city are cured of their diseases, that's all that matters.
''Well, that's the nice thing about Safate.
 With that, Eldena laughed at me.
'Master~♪ Was Korok useful to you too, Bear?'
 Between me and Erdena, Korok breaks in between me and Erdena and slides his face into mine.
 Even Erdena, who was slightly unhappy with the gesture at first, seemed to have to laugh in the end.

 Although I'm curious about what happened to the frontier cities to the east that Black went to and the Greencomb to the south, I'll hope that it had an effect, as there is no way to confirm it at present.
