Prince Ernest immediately reached for the popcorn.
"Your Highness, if you eat too much, you'll miss dinner.
"Yes, ...... I'll eat in moderation."
After being rebuked by Lotte, Prince Ernest listened obediently.

Dinner was served by the same members.
The same members served him.
We've recently added some new items to the menu," said Prince Ernest.
Prince Ernest said.
The food at Jin's was delicious. I was inspired by them.
The menu consisted of white rice, consommé-like soup, various tempura, steak, and vegetable salad.
Jin would have said that the combination was difficult, but he swallowed his complaint, saying that it was not unreasonable this time.
"But I haven't been able to recreate the taste of the food I had in ."
Jin consoles a somewhat disappointed Prince Ernest.
"Anne, Lol, and Lefa are here today. I think I can give you some advice.
Even if I can't give you advice on ingredients, I can give you advice on cooking methods, such as how to properly cook rice or porridge that is boiling in front of you, or how to cook tempura that is too squishy even though it has just been fried.
But first you have to eat.
"......This , it's always like this. I hear they are experimenting with the amount of water and the intensity of the fire.
"Well, it's all soggy.
Jin smiles wryly. If this is the case, it would be better to make porridge from the beginning.
Then came the tempura.
It is made of white fish and vegetables, but it is not crispy at all. Even Jin could tell that the batter was definitely over-stirred when it was made.
On the other hand, the soup and steak were excellent.
Thank you very much for the food.
After the meal, hojicha tea was served.
"It must be hard to import all these ingredients," Jin said.
Jin said, and Princess Rieschen nodded.
"I suppose so. That's why we are building a highway.
"Ah, Rieschen's place doesn't have a sea, so they have to transport by land. My place is thinking of shipping. We'll tie up with the Kingdom of Elias.
"I see, that sounds good.
"I don't think we'll be able to build a ship as big as a gin all of a sudden, but we can start by increasing production of 20-meter class ships, right?
The idea is not to build a large ship all at once, but to step up production.
"The size of the vessels will be easy to handle, and their transportation efficiency will be much higher than it is now."
The advantage is that more seafarers will be employed.
"The Kingdom of Elias has already built ships of that size.
The Kingdom of Elias, a maritime nation, already has several docks that are capable of building 30-meter class ships.
"I'd like to go there, wouldn't you?"
Prince Ernesto's words were casually muttered, but Jin felt that it was a good opportunity.
"Your Highness, with your permission, why don't you and the princess go to the Kingdom of Elias?
He proposed, "Your Highness, with your permission, why don't you go to the Kingdom of Elias with Her Royal Highness?
"Yes, I would like to go there.
I would like to go there too.
Princess Rieschen agreed.
So Prince Ernest and Princess Rieschen stood up to use the manaphone to get permission from their respective countries before the end of the night.
