When the goal is reached, I will dedicate an entire week's schedule to Nigotta Hitomi no Lilianne.

Drinking Bout

A pot-au-feu-like soup with many garnishes, a salad, bread, and fruits in heaps were carried before Allen and Elena.

For Lionel-sama and Tristan-sama, it was the Flamesaurus steak with steaks of other kinds of meat, stir-fried vegetables, and pickle-like things.

""Will dig in~""

"Yes, go ahead."

Allen and Elena promptly sought permission from Grace-sama and started eating.

"Ohh, this is delicious!"

Before I noticed, Lionel-sama as already tasting the Nippy Liquor and was pouring himself another helping.

Although his gla.s.s was smaller than usual, he drank it in one gulp from a gla.s.s that was bigger than the normal sake cup. It seems that he liked the taste of the sake, and was also a considerably heavy drinker.

"Let me see, how does the Flamesaurus meat taste~——n. This is also quite something. Alfriend, it's tasty."

"… I am glad to hear that. However, hogging it all to yourself is not good."

"N?"

"The children had been curious about the Flamesaurus meat's taste all this time. Despite that, you eat it all by yourself~ See, please take a look. They are watching you the whole time, Granduncle."

As Al-sama said, Allen and Elena were jii~… staring at Lionel-sama who was eating the Flamesaurus steak.

"… Allen, Elena, we still have plenty of Flamesaurus meat. I will cook it for you today, so don't stare so much."

""Au~""

"Nono, this was my fault. Here, lad, missy, let's eat together."

""Is fine?""

"It's fine, it's fine."

"Sorry about this, Lionel-sama."

"What are you saying, this meat and alcohol was a present from you guys, so I should be taking part in looking after you, don't worry about it."

""Delish~""

"I see, it's delicious?"

When Allen and Elena sweetly smiled after tasting the Flamesaurus meat Lionel-sama handed them, he also smiled widely at them.

"Oh, this is certainly tasty."

"Indeed. The aftertaste is refreshing, isn't it?"

Tristan-sama and Austin-sama tasted the Nippy Liquor too, and they seemed to be pleased with its taste.

"Well~ Tasting new kind of alcohol again is a happy occasion."

"N? Tristan… did you say 'again' just now? Do you mean that a new alcoholic drink beside this Nippy Liquor has been discovered?"

"Ah!"

Interjected by Lionel-sama, Tristan-sama made a "Oh, darn" expression.

Did he perhaps mean the brandy? Did Tristan-sama keep the brandy secret from Lionel-sama?

"Err… that's…"

Although Tristan-sama was a country's king, he wasn't a match for his uncle as his eyes were totally swimming the other way when doubted.

"Oh my, I have not heard about that either."

Whoaa~ it appears he kept it secret from Grace-sama too.

Grace-sama directed a sharp gaze towards Tristan-sama and his face has visibly turned pale.

"That's, umm… Tak.u.mi."

"Tak.u.mi, you say?"

"Tak.u.mi-san?"

"……"

With Tristan-sama's words, Lionel-sama and Grace-sama directed their gazes onto me.
