Chapter 56

「「Itadakima~su」」

『Kyan』『Na~』『Pii』『Garu』

Allen and Elena began eating the onigiri and soup slowly on the plates I served in front of them after doing before meal manners.

When I saw everyone start to eat, I offered onigiri and soup to Vivian-san who was enviously looking at the children.

「Is that okay!? Wa~ Itadakimasu!」

Because the children started eating first, Vivian-san was able to judge that onigiri is food, but "I wonder what this is……" she started eating after hesitating. However, after two, three bites, she started stuffing her cheeks in a trance.

「Hagu, hagu…… ngun, gu……」

She offered the onigiri to her stomach with a great vigor. Baku, baku, baku, such sound effects could be heard.

「Allen, Elena. This is are yours, so eat slowly, okay?」

It appears Allen and Elena thought that the unrestricted Vivian-san would eat even their shares. They sped up their eating speed in a hurry.

But, the two became relieved after my caution and nodded while chewing with stuffed cheeks, restoring their pace of eating.

「By the way, it seems you collapsed because of hunger, but what happened?」

「No…… it's fine after you finish eating……」

「Ngu!」

When I asked what happened, Vivian-san started talking with her mouth crammed with onigiri.

Then, Vivia-san resumed eating silently.

Nonetheless, she can eat well……

「Iya~ I'm stuffed~ Thank you for the meal」

The ma.s.sive amount of onigiri disappeared just like that.

「Ah, I'm called Vivian. Vivi or Vivian, call me however you like. Incidentally, what was that from a little while ago~ I have never eaten something like that~」

「White wheat, is it? That feed for domestic animals?」

Ah, I did it now…… rice on Aetherdia is used as feed for domestic animals, isn't it? I completely forgot.

「I'm sorry. Because we eat White White as everyday meals in my hometown, I ended up offering it to you without thinking. Have I offended you?」

「No, no. It was delicious, so there's no problem. Nevertheless, the white wheat, huh~ I have no idea it was something so delicious~」

Even after hearing about the white wheat, Vivian-san wasn't offended. Rather, she seems to have liked it. I'm glad……

I have to be more careful to what I offer to people from now on. Some people would misunderstand or be insulted, after all.

「Iya~ Oniisan is skilled at cooking, aren't you~ Are? Oniisan? Or is it Papa-san?」

Before I noticed, Vivian-san was talking to Allen and Elena.

「「……? Onii~chan」」

Allen and Elena who should not have any vigilance towards Vivian-san hesitated for a moment and answered.

Since Vivian-san is here, I shouldn't haste to confirm. I must not forget to check later.

「So it was Oniisan~ But, the reaction was bad, wasn't it~ Are you perhaps, in fact, Papa-san?」

「I'm the elder brother……」

It seems Vivian-san noticed Allen and Elena hesitating too.

Rather, what is she thinking, this person……

「I'm sorry~ People's secrets are my favorite food! Uncovering hidden things is fun, isn't it~」

「……」

Vivian-san――no, just Vivian, should be fine now……

I don't think it can be called impressive, but maa, it's most likely「Hobby=Work」in her case.

「So, why did you collapse, Vivian?」

「…… Don't ask me」

…… This person, is she playing around?

「Umm, umm…… ah, that's right! I have remembered! I have moved out of the town, but I forgot to purchase food. That's why I endured on the local procurement, but there was no harvest for the past two, three days……」
