Chapter 248: Indigestion is not a good experience, trust me
Ahh...finally! My popcorn!
I had no idea how they knew when we would be back, but by the time we arrived at the Lord’s quarters, there were already several bowls of popcorn waiting at the table in front of the fireplace. There was even a small bowl of sweet butter caramel popcorn just for Jade on the side, in a deep bowl where the little bird could dive into.
But like a good bird, Jade waited for my permission. Aww...look at my baby growing! The moment I gave an affirmative nod, however, Jade immediately dove into the bowl—literally, like a swimmer jumping into the pool.
"Popcorn!!" the same enthusiastic cheer came from Zia and Izzi, who immediately crowded the table. Izzi, especially, stayed as close as he could to the fireplace without actually jumping into the fire.
I had to say though, the chef really outdid themselves making all of these new flavors. Did Natha really hound them to create all of these? There was even one which tasted like a sour candy, and one with a spicy kick!
The twins and Caba were also staying while the other vassals got back to work—because this wasn’t a holiday, folks—and they also trying the new snacks while getting cozy around the table in front of the fireplace. Caba said it was too soft for him, but Arta looked like she found a new continent or something.
"We should sell this," Lesta muttered, money-oriented as he was trained to be, while munching on the spicy one.
Right?! It’s easy to make too! I turned to look at Izzi, who was crouching against the side of the fireplace with a bowl of popcorn he shared with Ignis. "Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a video recording device so we could have a movie theater?"
"That would be nice, but it’s not my expertise," Izzi shrugged.
Lesta tilted his head in interest. Sometimes, I felt like he was more business-oriented than Natha. "What’s a movie?"
Uhh, wait...how do we explain this?
