This is incomprehensible, you know?

I, I don’t know what they say about me, and I don’t know what I am supposed to say about this… ehhh?

“Miss Cristea… I apologize for my guys…”

Seeing me unable to conceal my shaking voice, Sei spoke apologetically.

“N, no… it’s not your fault… ah, no, that, it’s not like Genbu-sama and Seiryou-sama did it on purpose… umm, th, this won’t make a divine punishment fall upon me, will it…?”

It won’t, right? Please say it won’t!!

“Ah? Of course it won’t. Anything you make is super delicious, after all!”

When I asked timidly, Byakko-sama reacted more quickly than Sei.

Next to him, Suzaku-sama nodded her head in agreement.

“Yes, your pudding and chawanmushi are works of art, Cristea-sama! Geez, Genbu is not sensible at all, this is where he should have presented pudding rather than Youkan… that’s right, Cristea-sama! I will go next time, so won’t you give me a pudding?”

Hah? Pudding is… because Suzaku-sama wants to eat it right!?

Nono, stop looking at me as if you just had a good idea!?

“Nono, it should be Orc soup or Onigiri, right? Ah, Karaage might be good too… that being the case, gimme!”

Byakko-sama could you stop going along with her!?

“That’s just your preferences, you stupid tiger! Cristea-sama, you can ignore the stupid tiger.”

“Stop calling me stupid, you are the same! You are only into pudding, chawanmushi, and other jiggly foods. I’d rather have something hearty and satisfying!”

“What did you say!?”

“Aah!? Do you have a problem!?”

Sparks seemed to be flying between the two of them, and I felt my blood turn cold.

Hieh!? Are we going to have a battle of divine beasts in here!?

Thud! Thud!

“Kya!”

“Ow!”

Sei used his iron fan on the two’s heads… h, he showed no mercy…!

“… I apologize, Cristea-sama…”

“… Sorry.”

After Sei glared at the two apologizing sullenly, he bowed deeply to me.

“… I apologize for my divine beasts again.”

“D, don’t mind it, like I said before, it’s not like it’s your fault, so you don’t have to apologize…”

“Also, there absolutely won’t be any divine punishment. The things you make are a, all delicious… so.”

Ah geez, I don’t know whether to be relieved that I’m not going to get hit or embarrassed because Sei said it so bashfully.

“Well, um… Shall we go to the kitchen then? I will start by teaching you how to cook rice!”

“Y, yeah. Right. I will be in your care.”

As we both stood up awkwardly while embarrassed, Mashiro in his human form hugged me from behind.

“Wah! What? What is it, Mashiro?”

“… Cristea, you are our master, so. You don’t have to look after these guys, and yet…”

Mashiro spoke in a small voice while pressing his forehead against my head.
