Book 6: Chapter 16
The atmosphere at tonight’s family dinner was extremely awkward.
‘Their relationship has always been bad… no, that’s not quite right. Their relationship isn’t bad, it is at ‘either you die or I die, we’re not going to be breathing the same air’ level… Ah… well, not that resolute either.’
‘Sorry, sorry. Please allow me to rephrase that. Here’s a better description; the two, no… The four, which were seated together at dinner, were friendly and close to each other until it comes to a particular topic. At which point they will not hesitate to draw their blades and cut each other.’
I sat at the master-seat. On my left-hand side were Elizabeth and Nier. On my right-hand side were Vyvyan and Lucia.
Food was currently laid out in front of them. However, on one side were human dishes, while on the other, were elven.
When I looked at the food, I felt that the elven dishes looked sumptuous and suited to my palate. Most of the human dishes were simple dishes.
But the food in front of me right now, in other words, the dishes on two sides… were dishes prepared by Lucia and Nier today…
Wait, no. Lucia’s wasn’t even made by her! I’m absolutely positive Mom made them. I can recognise her dishes with a single glance. Lucia doesn’t know how to cook!
Honestly, the two of them really caught me by surprise. I always thought the reverse.
