Then I went back to Lumia and the others and played with them. That's how I was preparing to cook dinner.

"Youre sister......"

"? What's wrong?

Then Lumia, who had firewood, spoke to Yua in a slightly troubled manner. Was there a problem, too? I thought I was getting ready to ask how Lumia was doing.

"I have a lot less firewood spare. If I use it at the current pace, I may only have it for the next five days..."

"Huh? Really? I'm just gonna check."

Yua said so and walked out the back door of the kitchen. Given their lives, I did think there would be a lot of trouble if we ran out of firewood. It's all the more inconvenient when it's winter life, such as having such cold weather and not being able to warm up or cook. In the first place, how do we procure the firewood we have here? And thinking about it, Youre back.

"There may indeed be few spares of firewood...... Next time I tell the woods, I'm gonna find a tree that's gonna be firewood, right? Still don't worry, I'm gonna go buy some of the stuff you're missing?

"... yeah"

Are you picking up or buying firewood in the woods...... I don't know how they spend the winter, but maybe they were living a more painful life than I thought because I don't think they could work on a snow day like today...... If Youre going to pick up firewood in the woods, I thought I'd help Youre too.

"I'll help you, too."

"Huh? Are you sure?

"Yeah. You should collect as much as you can, right? So why don't we pick it up together after work?

"... thanks, Lena"

"Never mind, shall we cook dinner earlier than that? Lili and Lara are hungry."

"" Yeah. "

That's how we cooked dinner and ate it all together. Then we cleaned up after and then we all played another game. Then Lili and Lara seemed to get sleepy and helped put them to bed before telling Yua and Lumia it was time to go home and leave the orphanage behind.
