I Think Media Literacy is Necessary in Isekai (7)

「Of course.
Master, the amount of firewood needed for the barbeque is as presented and the fieldwork that needs to be done is here.
Today, chicken will be the main dish.」

「Thanks, Navi.
By the way, Adel…..would you help me with the fieldwork? Or do you want to pick up firewood?」

「Eh, ano, I need to….help?」

「Yes, if you want.」

By doing farmwork in this place, Adel thought she might be able to draw a little of Riito’s attention.

Even if she failed, she might find tinkering the not-so-rich soil of Togen Village relaxing compared to living in the middle of the political struggle of the empire.

「Ano, Adel-san.」

「Frau-san」

「Ehto, please go with Frau to pick firewood!」

「Pick firewood?」

「Yes.
Etho, the east mountain, other day, there is big tiger-san.
If a knight-san goes with us, we will feel safe desu!」

The flowerkins can put the tiger monster to sleep using the silver vine wine.
However, it is safer if someone keeps the monster company.

「…..let’s g, oh」

「Eh?」

「It’s not let’s g, oh, it’s let’s go….Frau-san」

「Ah, ehto」

「Yeah, let’s go.
As the honorary commander of the Romancia Empire’s 15th knight order, I will undertake the responsibility of picking up firewood.」

Nice Frau.
Riito and Navi looked at each other.

Adel would not and could not refuse if she is requested as a knight.

「Then, where are we going to pick up firewood?」

「This way desu! Let’s go!」

Riito watched their backs as they ran away hand in hand.

If she helped Riito with the field work, they would be able to start the barbeque right away.

An hour later.

「I’m back.」

「Welcome back.
We already prepared the ingredients here….ehhhh!?」

Riito was surprised at the unexpected scene.

An entire dried-out fallen tree was being carried by Adel, alone.

「W-what’s that!」

「….It’s a tree that fell for a while that we found when we were picking firewood.
I picked it up.」

「Adel-san helped Frau and the others!」

Frau is talking enthusiastically.

Frau seems to have become Adel’s fan.
