Chapter 108 Rosalier'S Day Part Four
Maya went to the stable, but Tatsuma came back from the guild a little later.
"Welcome back, uncle."
"Welcome back, Goshujin-sama"
Tatsuma is sitting in a chair in the living room, sipping hot tea.
"I'm home. Ah, I feel like I'm back. Well, I'm not tired, but I'm still mentally fatigued."
Tonight's main dish is fish. This was also one of Rosalie's specialty dishes.
"It's so delicious that it's a shame there's no rice."
Maya likes bread for breakfast, but she probably wants rice for dinner. This fine fish dish makes Tatsuma miss the rice as well.
"Well, I've heard rumors that there is rice cultivation somewhere in this world."
"Really?"
"But I don't know where it is. Isn't this a 'free trade city'? That's why we only get information through merchants."
"Are you happy with rice, Goshujin-sama?"
"No, it's the same as solving Oso (the element of fear), so there's a good chance. I'll try to find it slowly and don't panic. I want to eat dinner too."
"Goshujin-sama?"
"Yes?"
"Isn’t rice (gohan) the word that refers to these dishes?"
Breakfast, lunch, dinner. Tatsuma sometimes used the word 'gohan' for meals, and that's why Rosalier was a bit confused.
"Oh, hey, Rosalier-san."
"Yes?"
"So, 'gohan' is like bread here. For us Japanese, it's a shiny, white grain, about the size of a barley grain, cooked with water."
Tatsuma showed the size of the rice with his thumb and forefinger.
"Ah, I see."
Rosalier still seemed unsure. It seemed like Tatsuma's explanation was missing something.
"Maya-chan, do you have a picture of 'gohan' on your phone? I don't have one."
"Let me check. Um... oh, here it is, Rosalier-san, look at this."
Maya displayed a photo on her phone. It showed Mahiru-chan, Maya's twin sister, holding a bowl and enjoying her meal. She used her thumb and forefinger to zoom in on the photo, making the bowl look bigger.
"Is this the food that looks like white grains?"
"Yes, yes."
"Yes, yes."
"Indeed, I haven't seen it either. It must be really delicious. Mahiru-san seems to be enjoying it."
After dinner, Tatsuma comes out of the bath. At the same time, Maya goes into the bath.
A chilled glass of liquor is placed in front of Tatsuma, who sits on a chair.
"Thank you... hmm, it's cold and delicious. It's a luxury to have this chilled liquor here, while staying warm with the Magic Tool fireplace... What about you, Rosalier-san?"
"Is it alright for me to have some?"
Although she says that, Rosalier holds the glass with both hands and presents it in front of Tatsuma, as if saying, "If it's okay, could you pour some for me too?" She does so assertively.
"As expected, Rosalier-san is like this."
"I'm sorry. Thank you... mmm, mmm. Ah, I apologize."
Rosalier slipped up again. Her cheeks turned red as she looked down. Tatsuma thought to himself, "She has some cute sides, huh?" as he poured some liquor into an empty glass for her.
"Glug glug, ah, that's good. Here you go, Goshuwjin-sama."
"Oh, you're a good drinker."
Rosalier seemed a little tipsy and was doing funny things. Instead of offering her liquor, she just handed him the glass, saying "Here you go."
Tatsuma, with a smile, poured liquor into the glass. He must have been genuinely happy to see her having fun.
"Hey, uncle, Rosalier-san. That's not fair, drinking liquor!"
It seems Maya has returned from the bath. She squats in front of the table, resting her chin on her hands and looks at Tatsuma and the others.
"Maya really want to drink it too."
Tatsuma replied immediately with a disapproving expression,
"Nope. You have to be 20 years old to drink liquor. Just be patient a little longer."
"Oh, really?"
Rosalier, whose speech was a bit unclear, seemed to share the same opinion.
"But you know, the legal drinking age here is 15, right? Maya is 18, so isn't it okay?"
"Well, I'm the head of this household, so if I think it's not allowed, then it's not allowed."
"Goshurintama, please."
Rosalier reached out both hands towards Tatsuma.
"Oh, then, 'Detoxy (detoxification)'."
Tatsuma gently placed his hand on top of Rosalier's outstretched hands and performed a magic spell to detoxify her. As a result, her slouched posture straightened up beautifully and her partially melted expression became slightly stern.
"Maya-san"
"Um, yes"
Maya stood up, sat back in the chair, and straightened her posture.
"Liquor doesn't run away. From my perspective, 18 years old is still a child. In a family, it is important to follow the decisions of the head of the household. If you have any objections, then go to Swiglefen――"
"No, thank you. I want to live here. I'm sorry, I went too far with the joke."
"Just understanding is enough, Maya-san."
"Yes..."
"When you turn 20, let's drink liquor together. I'm sure Goshujin-sama will celebrate too."
"Yes. I understand."
"Good. You're a good child."
Rosalier gently stroked Maya's head. This gesture of caring for and loving her family is her true nature. She can be strict when needed, but also very sweet.
"Look, Maya-chan. This is delicious, you know."
Tatsuma takes out some chilled fruit water from his inventory and places it in front of Maya. In fact, the fruit that alcohol is made from is used as is. So in reality, it's like drinking the same thing as Tatsuma and the others.
"Thank you, uncle. Glug, puha. It's cold, sour, sweet and delicious."
After that, Tatsuma and Rosalier had drinks, Maya had fruit water, and they continued to talk happily.
Rosalier opened her eyes and as Tatsuma returned to his bedroom, he applied 'Detoxify' again. Because she knew she would be hungover. Rosalier feels like it's a bit of a waste to wake up from alcohol, but the reality is that she can't say that.
Tatsuma also witnessed Rosalier having a hangover many times. So she couldn't help but smile bitterly.
After that, she takes a bath and warm her body. In this house, there is a magic tool that heats and circulates the water, so she can always soak in new and warm water like this. When Tatsuma said, "You can have a room in either the Black Forest Human tribe's dormitory or this house," this bath immediately came to mind, as it is one of her favorite spaces.
(Hmm, ahh... It's great to be able to take a bath anytime)
Maya takes care of cleaning the areas outside the bathtub. Rosalier was impressed by how clean it was, although she had some idea of the method.
Now, she prepares the clothes she will wear tomorrow after washing them and getting rid of the wrinkles, then she lie down on the bed.
(Good night, Goshujin-sama, Maya-san, Centrena-san...)
And so, Rosalier's day comes to a close.
Rosalier-san's day is finished.
