Volume 3 Chapter 21 Ms. Famine's Favorites
Eir-Eir is munching on a sausage with a big smile.
Dad Arjuna is chewing on a sausage with his small mouth.
On the plate, there's a fried egg and a sausage that looks and tastes a bit different from the ones I made.
There are also many kinds of bread: bread with walnuts, bread topped with corn, bread with ham, and bread filled with lots of raisins. So many choices!
I took a bite of the sausage.
Juices burst in my mouth, mixing with the fresh herbs, and it's delicious.
After sipping my milky café au lait, I sighed happily.
"Ms. Famine, everyone has gone home. Why don't you come over and eat?"
After finishing breakfast and washing the frying pan, everyone went home.
I invited them to eat together, but Sir Stefan and the others were tired from the commotion at the Great Temple, so they decided to go home and rest first.
I felt a bit lonely, but I think they were just being considerate of me.
I appreciated their thoughtfulness in wanting me to rest.
So, I waved goodbye to Sir Rail, who was carrying Sir Roxas, and to Sir Ciel, who was taking Sir Stefan back to the castle using teleportation magic. I relaxed and enjoyed breakfast with Dad, Eir-Eir, and Ms. Famine.
The fresh morning light, or rather, the light just before noon, was shining through the window.
It sparkled on Ms. Famine's golden fur as she lay by the window.
Her long, swaying tail was so cute.
"Eir-Eir eats everything, huh?"
"Pumpkin pudding!"
Eir-Eir replied cheerfully, and I poked her chubby cheeks.
When I poked her, her body wobbled adorably.
"Dad likes meat because he's a dog."
"Yakitori."
Dad swallowed his sausage and said "yakitori" in a deep, nice voice.
"Do you want to eat yakitori, Dad?"
"Yakitori."
"Um... Dad, you can talk properly, so please say something."
"Right now, I'm focusing on being cute."
"Dad looks perfect, so I'd be happy if you just talked normally... Also, yakitori is a bit..."
"What would be good then, fromage or something like that?"
"Dad, do you know what fromage is?"
"I don't know."
"Fromage, where is it from..."
After finishing his sausage, Dad stared at the sausage on my plate.
I picked one sausage with my fork and moved it to Dad's plate.
His tail wagged happily. So cute.
"Ms. Famine, would you like to eat a sausage too? How about some bread? It's delicious!"
"Tarte Tatin."
Ms. Famine turned her face away.
She acted like a proud little cat, and that was cute too.
Even if she looked grumpy, she was still adorable.
I stood up from my chair, picked up Ms. Famine, and brought her to the table.
When I placed her next to Eir-Eir, Eir-Eir flapped her wings and said "pumpkin," peering at Ms. Famine.
Ms. Famine playfully swatted at Eir-Eir with her paw.
"Ms. Famine, would you like a sausage? Or a fried egg? How about walnut bread?"
I took some sausage, a fried egg, and walnut bread from my plate and placed them in front of Ms. Famine.
"Tarte Tatin..."
Ms. Famine turned her face away again.
Then, looking like she wanted to say something, she tapped the plate with her paw.
"What should I do? I can't understand her feelings more than Eir-Eir's... but she's so cute..."
I gently patted Ms. Famine's little head with my finger and rubbed her neck.
I didn't quite understand, but it felt like she was saying this was different.
"Do you want to eat Tarte Tatin?"
"Tart."
"But I've been told I can't cook for a while... It would be nice if you liked something else..."
"Tatin..."
"Pumpkin pudding."
Eir-Eir gently tapped Ms. Famine's body with her wings.
It looked like she was scolding her older sister for being picky.
Ms. Famine was playfully swatting back with her paw.
I picked up both Ms. Famine and Eir-Eir by the scruff of their necks and lifted them up.
"No fighting, okay? How about this: tomorrow, let's all go shopping at the market. We might find something Ms. Famine likes. We all want to enjoy our meals together, right?"
"Pumpkin pudding!"
"Yakitori and Sake."
"Tarte Tatin..."
I smiled brightly at everyone who responded cheerfully.
Then, I tried to wipe the greasy fur around my dad's fluffy mouth with a napkin.
It didn't get very clean.
"Dad, Eir-Eir, and Ms. Famine, let's take a nice, relaxing bath together this afternoon."
Today is a day to do nothing.
Since everyone is being so thoughtful, let's take it easy.
Dad Arjuna muttered, "A bath, huh..." in a slightly annoyed voice.
