Chapter 55

Dinner

After playing the โ€œSpirit Carrying Gameโ€ for a while, the room started to feel cramped.

โ€œWould we get scolded if we go outside?โ€
โ€œWoof.โ€

Since there was no other choice, I ran around the room, throwing spirits diagonally.

In response, Sara also ran along my diagonal path.

As we did this, I began to sweat little by little.

After a while, I started throwing multiple spirits in quick succession, which made me even more tired.

As I ran, Sara touched each spirit I threw with swift movements, without stopping her feet. Then, Carro, running alongside her, caught the spirit and gently floated it upwards.

Then, Daru bounced the spirit off his nose, tossing it back towards me.

I threw the spirit Daru sent back.

Throughout all this, Kuro hovered in the middle of the room, watching over us.

After running around and getting drenched in sweat, a maid came to call us for dinner.

โ€œYour ladies, dinner is readyโ€ฆโ€

The maid froze for a moment, seeing me, Sara, and Daru running around.

โ€œSara, itโ€™s time for dinner!โ€
โ€œYeah!โ€
โ€œHa, huff, ha!โ€

Daru, hearing it was dinner time, started circling around the maid, wagging his tail vigorously.

Carro quickly hopped onto my shoulder, silently urging us to go to the dining hall.

It seemed Daru and Carro were both hungry.

โ€œYour ladies are so full of energyโ€ฆโ€
โ€œYeah. It would be nice if we could run outside, though.โ€
โ€œOutside is dangerous, you know.โ€
โ€œYeah. I canโ€™t help it.โ€

I held Saraโ€™s hand and followed the maid. Sara tightly gripped her stick figure doll.

โ€œโ€ฆWhereโ€™s everyone else?โ€
As we walked, Sara whispered to me.

The moment the maid appeared, Kuro and the spirits who had been playing with us instantly hid.

โ€œTheyโ€™re fast at hiding.โ€
โ€œYeah.โ€
โ€œItโ€™s always like that, donโ€™t worry.โ€
โ€œOkay.โ€

Sara seemed to feel uneasy when the spirits suddenly disappeared.

โ€œAre you hungry?โ€
โ€œYeah, I am.โ€
โ€œWhat does Sara like?โ€
โ€œMeat.โ€
โ€œWoof woof.โ€

Daru was showing that he liked meat too.

When we entered the dining hall, we found Kolko there for some reason.

Kolko ran up to me as soon as she saw me.

โ€œKolko! What are you doing here?โ€
โ€œKoo koo.โ€

Kolko pressed her body against me in a show of affection. I hugged Kolko tightly and gently petted her.

My mother, already in the dining hall, explained,
โ€œApparently, Kolko got on the food cart without us noticing, and even though we tried to get her off, she wouldnโ€™t budge.โ€
โ€œReally?โ€
โ€œKolko realized that Luria wouldnโ€™t be coming back to the mansion for a while.โ€
โ€œThank you for coming, Kolko.โ€
โ€œKoo.โ€

After Kolko cuddled with me, she tilted her head when she saw Sara.

โ€œSara, this is Kolko! Sheโ€™s Luriaโ€™s friend!โ€
โ€œA chicken?โ€
โ€œYeah, sheโ€™s a chicken!โ€
โ€œKokko.โ€
โ€œKolko, this is Sara. Nice to meet you.โ€

Sara petted Kolko, saying,
โ€œKo.โ€

Kolko closed her eyes in contentment as Sara petted her.

โ€œIf Kolko came over here, she could have come to Luriaโ€™s room too.โ€
โ€œKoo.โ€
โ€œSeems like Kolko was circling around the house and the surrounding area.โ€
Mother told me Kolko had been working.

โ€œI see. She was doing a patrol?โ€
โ€œKoo.โ€
โ€œThanks for that.โ€
โ€œHere.โ€

After petting Kolko, we all sat down for dinner. Unlike usual, all the dishes were already set on the table, since there was only one maid, and she couldnโ€™t serve them all at once.

โ€œLuria and Saraโ€ฆ You two are drenched in sweat, huh?โ€
โ€œWe were playing, you know? Right, Sara?โ€
โ€œYeah, we played.โ€

Sara still seems a bit nervous around my mother.
Her tone of voice is a little off.

โ€œSince you might catch a cold, itโ€™s better to take a bath first, butโ€ฆโ€
โ€œIโ€™m hungry!โ€
โ€œRight, if we donโ€™t eat now, the meal will get cold. Weโ€™ll take a bath right after eating. Can I count on you?โ€
โ€œUnderstood.โ€

At my motherโ€™s instruction, the maid went to prepare the bath.

Sara and I sat down, facing my mother.

โ€œLuria. Sara. Today, the maids wonโ€™t be doing everything as usual.โ€
โ€œI understand.โ€
โ€œYes.โ€

โ€œLetโ€™s do what we can ourselves.โ€

โ€œGot it.โ€
โ€œYes.โ€

I start eating the bread.
โ€œItโ€™s delicious. Even without anything on it, itโ€™s good. Sara, do you want some jam?โ€
โ€œYes.โ€

โ€œHmm.โ€

I spread some jam on Saraโ€™s bread.

โ€œYou should try it, jam makes it taste even better.โ€
โ€œThank youโ€ฆ itโ€™s delicious.โ€

As Sara took a bite of her bread, her tail swayed excitedly.

โ€œYeah, bread isโ€ฆ so good.โ€

I donโ€™t know if itโ€™s because bread from this time period is delicious, or if itโ€™s the Dukeโ€™s householdโ€™s bread, but compared to my past life, itโ€™s just incredibly good.

Todayโ€™s bread is small and round.
The scent of butter and wheat, along with a subtle sweetness, spreads in my mouth.

โ€œCroissants are also delicious. Theyโ€™ll be served eventually.โ€
โ€œLooking forward to it. Hehe.โ€

While Sara munched on a small bread with both hands, I ate three.
One without anything on it, the second with butter, and the third with jam.

โ€œSara, if you use this spoon, itโ€™s easier to drink the soup!โ€
โ€œYes.โ€

Sara spilled some soup, so I wiped it up.
Since Sara is still young, spilling is inevitable.

As an older sister, I have to look after her.
Lydia-neesama also used to do this for me often.

โ€œThis meat has bones, but you donโ€™t have to force yourself to eat the bones.โ€
โ€œOkay.โ€

Saraโ€™s mouth got dirty, so I wiped it with a napkin.
As her older sister, itโ€™s only natural.

Once, I tried to crack a bone with my teeth and eat the inside, but I was told there was no need to do that.

โ€œLuria. Normally, you donโ€™t try to chew on bones and eat them, you know?โ€
My mother said with a smile.

โ€œWoof!โ€

After finishing his own meal, Daru placed his chin on my lap.

โ€œNo! You canโ€™t have the bones.โ€
โ€œWhine.โ€
โ€œItโ€™s too salty!โ€
โ€œPeep.โ€

Daru is sweet, but there are some things he canโ€™t have.
I once tried to give Daru a bone, but my mother told me not to.

Apparently, what tastes good to humans is too strong for dogs.

Also, there are plenty of unseasoned bones around the mansion.
Daru can eat those instead.

โ€œDaru already ate his portion, didnโ€™t you?โ€
โ€œWhine.โ€

When Daru realized he couldnโ€™t get bones from me, he went to put his chin on Saraโ€™s lap.

โ€œSara, be tough.โ€
โ€œOkay, Iโ€™ll try.โ€

After a while, it seemed like Daru gave up, and he lay down at my feet.
He seemed a little sulky about not getting any bones.

Meanwhile, Carro and Kolko, after finishing their meals, quietly sat at my feet, behaving well.

Sara, despite eating about a third of what I had, stopped eating.

โ€œSara, you should eat more.โ€
โ€œThanks, but Iโ€™m full. Hehe.โ€

Is that really true? Is she just being polite?

While I stuffed my face with meat, I wiped Saraโ€™s mouth.
Since sheโ€™s young, her mouth gets dirty quickly.

โ€œYou really donโ€™t need to be polite. Thereโ€™s still plenty left.โ€
โ€œIโ€™m fine, thank you.โ€

It seems that Sara is quite a small eater.

โ€œLuria. Normally, a five-year-old would eat that much.โ€
โ€œReally?โ€
โ€œYes. Lydia and Gilberto also ate about as much as Sara did.โ€
โ€œโ€ฆSmall portions?โ€
โ€œRather, it would be more accurate to say that Luria eats a lot.โ€
โ€œHmm.โ€

Whether everyone is a small eater, or if I just eat a lot, I canโ€™t seem to decide.

โ€œSara, you donโ€™t have to eat everything. If you eat too much, your stomach will hurt.โ€
โ€œYes.โ€
โ€œThe food was prepared according to Luriaโ€™s standards, so itโ€™s normal if you canโ€™t eat it all. Donโ€™t worry about it.โ€
โ€œYes.โ€
โ€œHmm~โ€

With Sara watching over me, I continued to eat greedily.

โ€œSara, you can leave some. If you leave it, Iโ€™ll eat it, as your older sister?โ€
โ€œAs your older sister?โ€

Sara tilted her head in confusion. Sheโ€™s so cute.

โ€œYes, as your older sister.โ€

โ€œLydia didnโ€™t eat what Luria left behind, though.โ€
โ€œHmm?โ€

Thatโ€™s also a tricky question. After all, I donโ€™t leave anything behind.
So, maybe Lydia just didnโ€™t happen to eat what I left.
