Chapter 239

The Stanval Siblings 3

“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?”

“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 .
