Chapter 239
The Stanval Siblings 3
Upon reaching our destination, Allen and Elena promptly took out the tools from their pouches——
“Will find a suitable one . ”
“For Lily Oneechan~”
Saying that, they started hitting the wall at full speed . .
“”Something’s there~””
(Eh!?)
“”Bad luck~””
“Allen found Mithril~”
“Elena’s was salt~”
(Eh!!)
And so, a few minutes later, the children found Mithril and Kelm rock salt, but it was apparently a miss for them who were looking for something that would suit Lily-chan . They put it in a basket and started digging as if they were not interested anymore .
Rein and Stanval family’s guards were stunned by the children who found stuff only after a few minutes of digging, but treated what they found as bad luck .
“Ta, Takumi, they said b, bad luck!! Digging up both Mithril and rock salt at once is a big hit, you know!?”
“My kids are aware that what they found is valuable too . It’s just that they are searching for something different now . ”
“Something different?”
“Something suitable for Lily-chan . ”
“For Lily?”
“Yeah, they have declared it before they started digging, right?”
N~ but what are they searching for, I wonder? It has to be a gem of some kind, no?
“Allen, Elena, what are you looking for?”
“”Crystal!””
“I see, a crystal, huh . ”
“”Yep!!””
“Oh, found one~”
“Me too~ but, not this one~”
“True . This one is also not it~”
While talking to me on the side, Allen and Elena each found a crystal . Black and yellow ones? However, those were not the color they were looking for, so they treated it as a miss again .
“What color are you searching for?”
“Green for Allen . Just like Fleur~”
“Elena is looking for blue~ The color of Lily Oneechan eyes~”
The color of Fleur, the Pastel Rabbit Lily-chan keeps and the color of her eyes, huh .
I see, they considered the colors seriously .
“I hope you can find them . ”
“”We will find themmon!””
Well, they have nothing to base it on, but Allen and Elena were convinced they would find them .
“”This is also not it~””
The children dug up something the next moment, but put it into the basket with disappointed looks on their faces .
“… Mithril again . ”
“They have dug up so much iron ore too…”
“How many crystals does that make?”
“Whoah, they extracted a super-sized gem!”
The guards and Rein were looking at the children with dumbfounded expressions .
“I heard that ‘A’ tunnel is a place with high yield, but that really is the case, huh~”
“Nonono! Don’t misunderstand, Lily . You usually don’t get to dig up so much, okay!?”
“Is that so?”
“That is so! It’s absolutely impossible to mine so much in such a short time, alright!”
“Then, it must mean that Allen-chan and Elena-chan are amazing, right!”
Only Lily-chan was innocently admiring the two .
“Are you not going to dig, Rein? Weren’t you pumped to dig up some Mithril?”
“In this situation!? Wouldn’t I be digging empty walls if I get working next to the kids!? Definitely! For sure!!”
“You shouldn’t mind it . These children have very good luck . It’s fine . You will be able to dig up something too . ”
“What are you basing that on!?”
“Something?”
“Isn’t that nothing then!”
I have nothing to base it on, but wouldn’t some of the luck leak to yourself when working next to the people with such good luck? Last time, Morgan-san said that he dug up more than usual~
“”Found it~””
“Oh, you found it? Allen, Elena, both of you?”
“”Yeah!””
Allen and Elena seemed to have found what they have been looking for in the meantime . The two ran up to me and showed me what they were holding between their thumbs and index fingers .
They were entirely transparent, but they were clearly of green and blue colors .
“You found some with pretty colors and shapes . ”
“”Yeah——Here, Lily Oneechan, for you~””
“Err… however, is it really okay for me to accept… something this wonderful?”
“The children dug for these specifically for you, so please accept it . ”
“”Accept it~””
“T, thank you so much . I am very happy . ”
“”Ehehe~””
After handing the crystals to Lily-chan, Allen and Elena smiled bashfully .
A heartwarming atmosphere surrounded the three . This might be rude to Lily-chan, but they seem like triplets .
“… It’s unfair that they warmed up only to Lily . ”
Rein was a bit downhearted .
“It’s not like they didn’t warm up to you, okay? They won’t even look at someone they didn’t warm up to . ”
“Eh? Is that so?”
“They have gotten much better now, but they were originally extremely shy of strangers . Once they judge that someone has a bad character, they would only approach them with caution . ”
“Ohh! Is that so!”
In that respect, since they call Rein by a nickname they came up with, and pull him by hand, they must have warmed up to him quite a bit .
When I explained to Rein, he smiled cheerfully .
“Well, I have no doubts that they like Lily-chan much better than you, though~”
“Why do you have to kick me down like that!?”
“Now then, it’s a perfect time for lunch, isn’t it?”
“You ignoring me!?”
Rein has a considerably honest personality for a noble, so it’s easy to tease him .
It’s always me that gets teased, so I’m quite happy that my position with Rein around changes .
“”Lunch~””
Hearing about lunch, Allen and Elena pulled Lily-chan to us .
“Adding ingredients to the sandwiches was the plan, right? What do you guys want? Do you also have something you’d like to eat, Lily-chan?”
“”N~ lemme see~””
“Something I’d like to eat? Erm, excuse me . I have no idea what would be a good match, so I will go with your recommendation, Takumi Oniisama . ”
Ahh~ Lily-chan never ate a sandwich before, I see~ She wouldn’t certainly know what would be good .
“Have you decided yet, Allen, Elena?”
“”Umm, you see~””
“Eggs, right~”
“Ham, right~”
“Potato salad would be nice too~”
“Tunamayo would be nice too~”
“Tonkatsu?”
“Teriyaki?”
“Ah, Shogayaki!”
“Hamburger too!”
“Nonono, all that isn’t possible, okay!?”
What Allen and Elena named all certainly had good compatibility with a sandwich . But, there were definitely way too many ingredients .
“Let’s narrow it down to one or two ingredients . ”
“”Ehh~””
“You say ehh~ but you wouldn’t be able to eat it, no?”
“”Muu~””
Allen and Elena puffed up their cheeks in dissatisfaction .
They are unusually unreasonable, aren’t they~
“There were some things I didn’t understand, but anything Takumi makes is delicious . That’s why I also want to try everything . ”
“Stop right there, Oniisama… read the situation, please . ”
Rein, even though I just said putting everything on wouldn’t be possible, why did you have to say that?
“Lily-chan, can I leave the lecturing to you?”
“Leave it to me, Takumi Oniisama . ”
“Yep, thank you . ”
I left the lecturing of Rein to Lily-chan and turned towards the children .
“Allen, Elena, do you want to eat everything no matter what?”
“”… No . Lily Oneechan, though . ””
“Oh, did you want Lily-chan to try everything?”
“”… Yeah . ””
All sandwiches are delicious, so they were cutely stubborn so that Lily-chan could try all of them .
“I see . But, Lily-chan wouldn’t be able to eat everything, so please choose only what you really want her to try . If we teach Lily-chan’s family chefs the rest, she will be able to try everything eventually . ”
“”… Got it . ””
In the end, we filled our stomachs with egg sandwiches and Shogayaki sandwiches .
After finishing the meal, we resumed mining together with Rein and Lily-chan until the afternoon .
It was Lily-chan’s first time mining and she found a fair amount of crystals with Allen and Elena’s help, but Rein couldn’t find a single one .
It proved that there were two types of people, those who could be affected by Allen and Elena’s good fortune and those who couldn’t .
