Frillie was utterly astonished—looking at the grilled fish in his hand: "You... you didn't burn the fish?!"
"Huh? Is that the important point?" "That's not the point!"
Connie and Labigne were dumbfounded by the strange focus, and even wondered if the two guys were deliberately teaming up to provoke them.
“No, it’s because this guy always makes a complete mess of the food!” Frillie explained earnestly, then looked at Ash seriously and questioned, “I’ve always found it strange… You were just pretending, weren’t you? You can actually cook! You can grill meat too!”
"You mean this?" He shook the grilled fish in his hand blankly.
"—Yes! The evidence is conclusive. Do you still want to deny it? I'm going to tell Philon and the others when we get back!"
"...You're a primary school student and you're tattling??" Ash sighed speechlessly: "This was taken from another team... cough, we got it by being a little forceful."
"...This old man, at a time like this, actually went to steal food..." Connie's face was full of a strange expression of disbelief.
"Are you here for an exam or a picnic?" Rabinhee felt provoked by his impulsive behavior, but he always casually tossed the bear aside and retorted as if it were the most natural thing in the world: "Nobody said you can't go on a picnic while taking an exam, right?"
"...So what are you doing here? Showing off that you found a bird?"
"No, I just think eating fish alone is a bit bland, and it's a little fishy here. They didn't bring any seasonings, so... let's have some barbecue!"
"...So this is what we came for." Having anticipated this, Frilian nodded silently, and, equally lacking in tension, stood beside the giant bear. "...This bear paw looks good, shall we eat it?"
"...Frilian?? Why were you so easily won over by him?? Didn't you say that once things settled down, we'd deal with him together?" Connie's face showed a strange expression, as if he had swallowed a fly.
"Anyway, it's still early, and there's free bear to eat, so what's wrong with that?" Frilian said as she began to prepare the bear.
His overly skillful manner left the two of them speechless, but they still kept a wary eye on Ash, fearing that he might have some kind of scheme.
However, when he noticed that the cage containing the meteorite bird had been left to the side, he realized... normally the other party should be wary of him, so why was it that he was the one who needed to be careful?

The thought that he should be wary of others, yet instinctively the opposite, made Rabinye bite down hard on the roasted meat beside his mouth, muttering resentfully:
"—Indeed, very unpleasant!"
"Why are you looking at me and saying such hurtful things? Aren't we friends who eat together?" Ash spread his hands innocently.
"Because...you're the one who should be wary of us! After all, we might steal your bird!"
"Whatever? As long as you have the ability, come and snatch it anytime. I don't mind playing with you beforehand."
"...This kind of nonchalant attitude is really unpleasant...it's like they're looking down on people."
Rabind, always so sharp-tongued, angrily pointed his finger at his nose, his gesture and expression exactly the same as Connie's before.
But he was truly innocent: "Even if you say that... I personally don't have that kind of thought."
"Then what's with this composure you have, like a strong person?!"
"Because I'm actually quite strong?"
"Uh...it seems that's true?"
The moment he understood the situation, Rabindranath's dissatisfaction vanished, and he continued chewing on the bear meat with a somewhat sullen expression.
That's right. Although I can accept the feeling that the other person is in control, changing one's mindset is still not so easy.
..............................
When the two were arguing, Frilian didn't seem inclined to intervene at all; she just stood by and quietly ate her meat.
It wasn't until Rabinha was persuaded, yet still looked displeased, that she began to remark, having devoured the bear meat without regard for her elven image:
"Ash, you're really hated."
"...To be honest, I feel very innocent."
"But it's all your fault."
"It's abnormal to dwell on things from the past for so long."
"Only ten years, right?" Frillie retorted naturally.
The words coming from her mouth were surprisingly convincing, even leaving Ash somewhat speechless... After all, Frilian could hold a grudge for a thousand years.
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but sigh: "...Can't people be a little more friendly to each other these days?"
"You said something like that?"
"I'm pretty friendly... or so I think."
"...You've lost your self-confidence." Frilian watched him turn his head away stiffly, but didn't say anything more to him, and just silently started gnawing on a bear paw.
Meanwhile, Connie couldn't help but stare at the cage at Ash's feet and couldn't help but ask, "Th-that...uncle!"
"what?"
"How did you catch that bird?" Although he felt a little embarrassed to ask him this question, Connie tried to put aside their past conflicts and wanted to understand his experience in catching it.
“We tried to catch it, but this bird flies very fast and we couldn’t catch it at all. Its body is also very sturdy, and we couldn’t freeze it even with ice.”
"Well..." He pondered, feigning profundity, while Connie leaned forward nervously, straining his ears for any detail: "Hmm! How did you do it?"
However... she didn't get an answer. Ash suddenly reached out and pinched her face, pulling and tugging as he said expressionlessly:
"You still use this attitude when you're asking for a favor, calling me 'uncle'? I've already told you not to call me 'uncle,' haven't I??"
"Ouch! What are you doing?!"
"Call me brother!"
"...Brother!...Big brother! Is that enough now?!"
Although unwilling, Connie was forced to comply under the pressure of force.
Ash then let go, letting the girl cover her flushed face, and she said with a wronged expression, "...Can you tell me now?"
"What are you thinking? Not calling someone 'uncle' is just a matter of basic politeness. If you want to know someone's secrets, you usually have to pay a price, like..."
"....what...?"
"Anyway, stick your head out here and let me pet you~"
Looking at the girl with two ponytails, who inexplicably resembled a harpy dog, Ash, who really wanted to pet her, blurted out his request under her tense gaze.
"Huh... Huh??" For a moment, Connie didn't know whether this was an excessive or not.
After all, the exchange is done through an exam, but patting someone's head... it just feels weird.
Rabind couldn't help but cast a cold glance at him: "—You really are a perverted old man!"
"Really? Since you've put it that way, then..." He wasn't angry at all, but instead smiled and said, "Then, with you two, come over and give me a handjob, and I can tell you."
"I am...!"
"By the way, that's a 100% guaranteed way to succeed. At least I succeeded very easily, and I was even the first and only person to complete the goal. If you want to know the secret to passing the level, just touch your head. Isn't that a great deal? Normally, even if others wanted it, I wouldn't agree to it."
Before Rabindé could object, he began to patiently persuade her with a kind smile.
..............................
What Ash said was indeed enticing.
At least after exchanging glances, Connie and Rabinheit hesitated, gritted their teeth, and reached a certain consensus in their hearts.
Finally, Rabinha asked cautiously, "Excuse me... why did you want to touch our hair?"
“Physical distance is directly proportional to the distance between hearts. Physical contact can naturally bring people closer. I just hope to get along well with the few friends that Philon have, and…” He said with a pure and innocent look, without any malice, “After all, you are girls. The only normal thing to touch is your head, right? Otherwise, I would like to touch Connie’s belly.”
"Why?!" Connie clutched his flat stomach, his face full of vigilance.
"Don't get me wrong, I just like to pet my pets by stroking their heads and bellies at the same time."
"—I'm not a pet!"
"Do not care of details."
"—That's not a detail!"
"Young people these days really like to nitpick." Compared to the girl's volatile emotions and impassioned rebuttal, he remained remarkably calm, shaking his head and offering her one last chance:
"So? Are you going to agree or not? If you miss this opportunity, you might not be able to pass the exam, okay? Is that alright?"
"I....."
"...I agree!"
While Connecticut hesitated, Rabindranath gritted his teeth and chose to temporarily endure the humiliation.
However, before doing anything, he was asked to wash his oily hands first.
Then, filled with humiliation, the two girls closed their eyes, poked their heads out, and let Ash, with a gleeful laugh, masturbate them both at once.
From the beginning, when the two were fighting, she didn't stop them. Now, when the two were forced to kneel and bow their heads, Frilian simply watched the whole thing. Seeing this scene, she just shook her head with amusement, but she was too lazy to do anything to stop them.
The two beautiful girls' skillful touches made his face flush red... perhaps due to a mixture of shame and indignation.
But in order to pass the exam, they temporarily sacrificed their hair, and only when they couldn't bear it anymore did they push his hand away and glare at him angrily.
I enjoyed the feeling of having multiple wives for a while.
