SC1 9.1 – Simple Life Style
Morning in the hut was calm as usual, after washing their face and drank a glass of soy milk, I asked Yunno and Yui to sweep the yard. After that, we had our morning practice. Then, we went to feed Bonnie-01 and her sister.
Both Yunno and Yui had big smiles in their face as they put the chopped bamboo shot and chopped acorns to a long chicken feeder made of half-cut bamboo cane. At the same time, Bonnie-01 and her sisters had no problem to adapt with their new house. They didn’t show any sign of stress and ate their breakfast heartily without any care to the world.
It seemed as long as Yunno and Yui were with them, they had no problem to live anywhere. Then, I took Bonnie-25 and held her in my left waist.
“Yunno, Yui, come here for a second.”
““Hai.””
After replying at the same time, Yunno and Yui came over to me with worried eyes. It seemed they thought I would butcher Bonnie-25, so I immediately cleared their worry.
“Starting today, gives the four smallest hens four grass worms each, once every two days.”
As Yunno and Yui tilted their head to the side, I took four grass worms from my spatial storage, put them in my palm, and then let Bonnie-25 enjoyed it one by one.
“What about Bonnie-01 and rest of her sisters?” Yui curiously asked. “Can we give them grass worm too?”
“No,” I casually replied. “The grass worm is additional protein to help the smallest chicken catch up their growth with the rest of her sisters. Also, if you give the hens too many grass worm, it can cause overgrown that shortened their life span.
Later, we also have to add calcium powder to the chicken feed. I will teach you how to make it.
Got it?”
“”Hai!!”” Yunno and Yui firmly replied.
“Good.”
Wasting no time I gave Yunno and Yui the rest of grass worm in my spatial storage, and asked them to keep it in their spatial ring. Then, they gave the other three smallest chickens four grass worms each.
After that we collected the chicken eggs and washed it using coarse salt to sterilize it from salmonella bacteria, and then went to take morning bath. Yunno and Yui were holding each other hand while they happily walked to bath hut. As for me, I just casually walked behind them.
Went to the bed early and woke up early, and then helped to tend small job in the farm before taking morning bath, ate breakfast, and went to school. In earth, even children from developed country who lived in farm had similar routine. It was indeed a simple and humble life style, but it was also one of the best ways to imprint hardworking mentality and built healthy body as the children grew.

‘Hopefully, I can maintain this simple but excellent growing environment for the next twenty years,’ I genuinely wished.

This morning Kato looked happier than usual and it didn’t escape Yunno’s attention. As we started our breakfast Yunno asked, “Aunt Kato, you look very happy.”
“Yep,” Kato happily replied. “Last night my martial arts experience great progress.”
“Congratulation, Aunt Kato,” Yunno genuinely said.
Meanwhile Yui nodded her head before saying, “Big Sis Yunno and Yui will also train super hard so we can help Uncle Deitoro and Aunt Kato more.”
“Okay, that’s a promise,” Kato said before having a bright and beautiful smile all over her face.
As for me, I calmly enjoyed my breakfast. Eating while hiding my face behind a scarf and bamboo hat was hard as hell, so I had no mood to join the convesation. But then, Kato turned her gaze to me.
“Dear, what is your plan today?”
“Go to Sendai to meet Sanno, and then accompany Yunno and Yui do their study. Starting today, I will also ask them to assist me with kitchen works.”
“I see,” Kato nodded her head before continuing, “I will go to Rokube to buy groceries. Do you want me to buy something for you?”
“Help me sell some harvest to Butcher Jin.”
“Okay.”
“And don’t forget to take blood sausage that Hisami ordered.”
Deep concern instantly filled Kato’s eyes as she asked, “Why do you need that blood sausage?”
“I plan to capture a watchdog for the hut. The blood sausage will become a good snack for it.”
“I see.”
“Help me buy 3 kg of dried oyster too.”
“Okay.”
Breakfast then continued in light and calm atmosphere.

After breakfast, I went to Sendai to carry my morning routine as Sanno. As usual, Kazuyori welcomed me with her sour face, but I didn’t give a damn about it.
After the painful breakfast with the whole household, I went back to the hut. Kazuyori saw I left the house, but she asked no question. As long as I brought home good harvest and carried my morning work as usual, she wouldn’t bother me for the rest of the day, even though I found someone had searched every inch of my room while I gone.
By using peregrine owl form, I arrived in the hut at no time. Yunno and Yui already started their study, and Kato accompanied them while doing a needle work.
“Dear, you are back.”
“Yeah.”
Wasting no time Kato then kissed Yunno and Yui at the cheek. I didn’t know if it was genuine or just an act, but from outside I got an impression that Kato’s way of kissing Yunno and Yui was no different from how a happy mother would kiss their beloved daughter.
“Do your best with your study and listen to your uncle, okay?”
“”We will,”” Yunno and Yui happily replied.
“Good,” After a gentle smile Kato then turned her gaze to me. “Dear, I’m off to Rokube.”
“Yeah.”
Kato then left the hut without giving me passionate kiss first, like how a happy wife would do. After inwardly letting out a sigh, I accompanied Yunno and Yui carrying their study.
Children at their age usually had difficulty to calmly sit and do their study. When no one watched them, they would get distracted from their study. However, Yunno and Yui had no such problem. They just calmly did their study, so I could use my time to prepare another material.
There was tons of basic academic knowledge that I had to teach to Yunno and Yui, so I had to use every drop of spare time I had to write it down into a systematic material. Then, time flew and it seemed I was too immersed with my material preparation.
Before I realized it, Yunno and Yui had already finished their study, and now they calmly sat while looking at me with their clear eyes.
“Have you read the material properly?”
“”We have.””
“Have you done the task at the last page?”
“”We have.””
“Let me check it then.”
Yunno and Yui immediately put forward their finished task, and wasting no time I checked it. Like yesterday, today Yunno and Yui also made only minor mistakes. Of course, I still had to correct it.
“Yunno,” I said as I pointed at Yunno mistake, “When you use word ‘here’, you don’t need to put ‘in’ in front of it.”
“….?”
As big question mark appeared in Yunno’s forehead I added, “For example, just write ‘Adam will sleep here tonight’, and not ‘Adam will sleep in here tonight’. Understood?”
“Hai!” Yunno firmly replied.
“Yui,” I said as I turned my gaze to Yui and pointed at her mistake, “Butterfly is one word. It has no connection with butter or fly. Literally, it just a name of a flying insect with wide and usually beautiful wings, so don’t separate the word.”
“Hai!” Yui replied with her childish tone.
“Very good,” I happily replied. “Let’s see what other mistake we have here.”
There were no many mistakes, so we cleared everything in no time. After that, we have steamed bun filled with sweet red bean as our lunch, and as usual Yunno and Yui enjoyed their food as if it was the most delicious food in the world.
