Chapter 98
Mr. Ekenhart did not care about manners
When I arrived at the dining hall, Mr. Ekenhart, Ms. Claire, and Tilura were already gathered there.
And so I went over to my usual seat at the table after Ms. Lyra gestured for me to go.
While Ms. Claire said it didn’t matter, I did wonder if I was just allowed to sit anywhere when Mr. Ekenhart was here… There was likely a formal seating arrangement that I wasn’t aware of…
“Be at ease, Mr. Takumi. I don’t care about little details regarding manners, anyway.”
“…Okay.”
As I had looked a little restless after sitting down, Mr. Ekenhart was able to tell that I was self conscious.
Ms. Claire had said the same thing, and so if both felt that way, it must be fine.
Now that I think of it, it was probably because she had been raised by such a father that she wasn’t so surprised or disturbed when looking at me.
Once everyone was settled, the food was brought out and placed on the table.
Ms. Helena, the head cook, served the food herself as she explained it to Mr. Ekenhart.
The main dish was meat. Thick steaks covered in a savory sauce were placed in front of everyone.
