Chapter 87: A Laid-back Morning



Chapter 87: A Laid-back Morning

I woke up and opened my eyes when I heard the lively chirping of birds *chichichi*.

I look at the inside of the dimly lit room as I slowly raise my body. Maybe the birds are playing outside, as I can hear their intermittent cries.

I got up and headed towards the slatted shutter windows, even though I’m reluctant to part with the warmth of the futon.

When I opened the windows all at once, the morning sun shone into the room.

I stretched myself and took a deep breath as I squinted because of the dazzling light.

The clean air softly enter from my nose *suu*, flowing down to my lungs, it feels as if it spread throughout my whole body. This is so pleasant. And when I was still standing absentmindedly, I felt my body tighten.

This has become my daily routine ever since I was reincarnated in this world.

I’ve even tried something like this back in the royal capital’s inn, but somehow it doesn’t feel the same.

It’s probably the difference in the air.

When I look at the verdant grass spreading out on the mansion grounds, the wind blows, as if to caress my cheeks. And the plants were swaying along with the wind as they made a sound.

It’s as if Koryatt village nature is giving me a morning greeting.

「……morning」

Without knowing why, I said that and I left my room.

My stomach growls at exactly the same time as I feel refreshed, after washing my face with the water from the well.

I walk towards the dining room, while thinking about what today's breakfast will be.

When I arrived at the dining room, all of my family members except me had already sat on their seats.

No, well, for some reason only Eleonora-neesan’s posture was still halfway in the middle of standing up.

「「Good morning」」

「Good morning」

I replied to everyone’s morning greeting.

If the greeting were done separately, that would make it troublesome to do it one by one.

I wonder if maybe the distinguished nobles at the royal capital did the greetings separately. 「Good morning. Father, Mother.」 something like that.

When I looked at the table, Eleonora-neesan snorted *fun* and sat down on her seat.

I wonder what happened? Even though it’s such an invigorating morning today, she doesn’t seem to be in a good mood.

As I sat down on my seat while thinking about why she looked like that, Sylvio-niisan who sat beside me whispered to me.

「Just now, Eleonora-neesan was about to wake you up, Al.」

I see, so that’s why she was in that kind of posture.

But, that role should belong to Sylvio-niisan.

When I look at Sylvio-niisan with a puzzled look, he smiles wryly and said,

「Even if I’m the one to go, Al will not wake up, right?」

「I, indeed.」

I’m amazed at Sylvio-niisan’s reasonable answer.

If at that time I went back to sleep or woke up a bit later, then I won’t be able to enjoy such a refreshing morning, I guess?

If it’s Eleonora-neesan, there’s no doubt that she would just forcefully flung open the door, and did an extreme thing like mercilessly robbing me of my futon. After that, she will definitely drag me out from the bed - still holding my pillow and grumbling - straight to the dining room. No, maybe she would just give me a light slap to wake me up.

I don’t want to be woken up in that ‘bad for the heart’ manner.

「……what?」

「It's nothing.」

I turn my eyes towards the foods lined up on the table, as if evading Eleonora-neesan’s gaze.

There’s a big plate in the middle of the table, with fragrant bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, plain omelette with tomato sauce, and a large serving of cabbage placed on the plate.

As for the plain omelette, it was when I taught Bartolo omurice, then he reproduced it on his own.

As expected from a chef. It looks like he did all sorts of trial and error, even without me teaching him everything.

A great difference from me, who can only think of adding rice in it.

On the other side of that is a small cup, with a creamy, fragrant soup in it.

Then, there’s another plate with two loaves of freshly baked bread. And you can spread the butter from the jar in the middle to your bread by yourself.

This is such a lavish breakfast for a Baron house with a small territory in the countryside, but for the Slowlette house, this is something common.

Thanks to the reversi, shogi, and the recent spinning top, the financial situation of our house has prospered.

Just with the fact that Elna-kaasan is the daughter of Lazareth's firm owner, we wouldn’t have any trouble with money, and the both of them are former adventurers so they still have some money saved up.

We can also go shopping since Toriela’s firm and other merchants came regularly to the village, but since the Slowletts are slightly indifferent to materialism, and we don’t have any interest in furnishings or any ornaments, all the money is naturally spent towards food ingredients.

Recently, we purchased a lot of sugar in particular.

If there's a big shopping district just like the one in the royal capital, then we might unexpectedly end up shopping but there’s nothing but nature in the vicinity of Koryatt village.

「It also looks delicious today.」

「It is, isn’t it. I like these plain omelette these days.」

Elna-kaasan and Nord-tousan seem to be talking peacefully before having their breakfast.

「Me tooー. When I asked to add cheese inside, it became creamy and delicious. 」

「Really?」

「I asked Bartolo to make mine, so he should be adding it. Want to try half?」

「Thank you. Please let me have some. 」

They seem to have been having a cheesy, creamy conversation since morning, I see. Just don’t do something like, Aaーn, okay?

Covered in the sweet atmosphere from our parents, we siblings started having our breakfast first.

We comfortably spent our time in the dining room today as well, after breakfast is over.

Today, there’s Elna-kaasan, Sylvio-niisan, and unusually, Eleonora-neesan has also joined us, sitting on the chair. There’s no practice today, and I don’t have anything I wanted to do in particular, I’m currently calmly drinking tea.

Incidentally, Nord-tousan is not here. We just came back from the royal capital, but it seems like all sorts of works have piled up.

Since there’s no morning practice, I’m basically here drinking Royal Feed idly, and went back to sleep on the sofa.

「Al, you’re being too lazy since morning.」

Elna-kaasan warned me for being languid, and lying down on the sofa.

Currently, I’m putting my head on the sofa and my feet to the back of the sofa.It’s a bit ill-mannered of me.

Everyone looks satisfied and relaxed, while their stomachs are full.

However, I know something. That is, Elna-kaasan will also have the same languid posture like me when there is no one around.

「But, Elna-kaasan occasionally also――」

「I did not」

「………」

Not only me, Eleonora-neesan and Sylvio-niisan are also staring fixedly at Elna-kaasan, but she drinks her tea indifferently.

「I did not, okay?」

Everyone who lives in the mansion knows about Elna-kaasan, who also lazes around on the sofa when there is no one around.

And our gaze just now is not the doubting kind of 「Elna-kaasan also did it right?」, but it is more like an amazed one of 「You also did the same, so why are you acting innocent here?」.

She will just say something again if I’m still lazing around like this, so I got up from the sofa and sat at the table’ seat.

And when I asked for a tea from Mina who was standing nearby in the room, she immediately brought some tea to me.

I savored my morning tea, while having a small talk now and then.

Aah, today’s morning is quite peaceful isn’t it. It’s going to be a good day.

At the same time as I thought so and when I asked for a refill from Mina, Elna-kaasan said in a solemn voice.

「Hey, Al. It’s been a week since we came back from the royal capital you know. I wonder when will the new sweets become available?」

Hearing those words, Mina suddenly stopped moving *pittari*.

Hey wait, you don’t have to worry about that, please make the tea for me.

With a look, Mina raised the half-tilted teapot back and put it at a distance.

So you’re not going to make me wait until I answer Elna-kaasan’s question, huh. Even though I’m not a pet……

When I looked in front of me on impulse, Eleonora-neesan, who had been holding her chin with her hands until just a moment ago suddenly got up and gave me a look full of curiosity.

I can’t escape.

Nevertheless, I completely forgot about it. When we bought the cooking stove magic tool, I made a promise to Elna-kaasan that I will make new snacks, along with increasing the amount of snacks made.

「So?」

She asked me again. It was the same gentle smile as usual, but I can feel a tremendous pressure from it.

「Of course it’s fine. It will be completed today.」

「Oh, I’m looking forward to it.」

When I told her that there’s no problem and it will be completed today, Elna-kaasan smiled and took a sip of her tea.

I wonder why. It like when my superior asked me 「You still haven’t done the documents?」 that kind of feeling. And then you said it will be done in the evening, then my superior left looking satisfied.

Mina also looked satisfied by my answer, she finally poured the tea while smiling.

This poor maid.

As expected, I need to provide them with foods that will make them think that it’s a good thing we bought a magic stove.

Thanks to the magic stove, it became easier to adjust the temperature of the fire, maybe I should challenge myself in making deep-fried food or something now?

As far as I know, I can think of a lot of snacks and food using that method.

「If you made something strange next time, I’ll give you a smack, okay?」

「……I know…」
