Chapter 198: Well-Behaved Cats Like the Kitchen Stove! (3)
Evening had fallen.We returned to the mansion from the hunting grounds.We then feasted on the goose and deer that Cariote had caught with her arrows, and it was delicious. “That was a wonderful meal. It was exquisite, Chef Fabian. It seems you’ve honed your skills even further while I was away at the Junk Mansion?”
As Cecily dabbed her mouth with a handkerchief and praised the mansion’s chef, the Santa Claus-look alike chef bowed his head, beaming with pleasure.
“You honor us, Fräulein 1. We all strived to improve ourselves while awaiting the young miss’s return. It’s gratifying to see you enjoy the meal.”
There are particular types of people in this world.When you receive recognition from those who are stingy with praise, it tends to boost your pride even more than usual. In that sense, Cecily’s praise was quite valuable.After all, Cecily was generally a girl full of complaints.
“You’re really playing the part of a little miss.”
I remarked while observing Cecily.
“Indeed I am.”
Cecily nodded.In contrast, Cariote remained rather nonchalant.Seeing that she didn’t even comment on the taste of the game she had brought back, I wondered if this was another form of maturity in its own way.However, Cariote’s younger sister, Dina, whined a little.
“I prefer beef to venison. Sis, why didn’t you bring back a cow instead? Weren’t there any cows in the hunting grounds? The meat near the armpit is so tasty, you know.”
