Now that the meal is ready, I call out to Duke Guile and ask the cooks to start cooking. I went up to the 3rd floor to pick up my mother-in-law.
“Mother-in-law … don’t overdo it!”
When I went into the room, mother-in-law, wearing a dress for supper was sitting on the bed, waiting.
“I’m not overdoing it. I’m not wearing something cramped like corsets, wearing this was easier than you’d think …”
“but—“
“I don’t want to show my daughters a mess … I’m in very good shape thanks to your Highness Luke. Please let me be a little fashionable …”
She interrupted my words in the middle and appealed …
so she wants to show her daughters a healthy figure after a long absence? … I understand her feelings.
“I understand … Please go back to your room as soon as it gets tiring alright?”
“Okay!”
I put an[Air Shield] on her leaving a thin film of air around her body. By doing this, tubercle bacilli will not be scattered around.
Originally, shield-type magic creates a circular shield centered on you, but with my image, a thin air film is placed on the surface of the body.
When we went to the dining room, everyone was already seated.
Huh? Erika, a maid, is sitting next to the princess.
” She doesn’t eat here, but is present to help the blind princess eat.”
“Even though it’s work, it’s hard not to eat when everyone is eating …”
“”mother!””
The moment she stepped into the room, Anna and Lara rushed over.
“Wait a minute!”
It’s a moving scene, but I intervene and stop them.
“Don’t stop us!”
“If you want to hug her, I also need to cast defensive magic on you. [Air Shield], my bad for stopping you.”
The three are hugging each other and weeping … I wonder how long it’s been since they haven’t met … Lara’s very happy.
I sit in a chair after everyone has settled down.
From the top seat, Duke Guile, Sasha san, Lara and Anna — Actually, Anna was supposed to sit next to Sasha, but Anna gave it to Lara. She’s a kind girl, as she would also like to sit next to her mother.
Duke Guile seems to have no complaints because she’s the youngest child and misses her mother, rather than the seating order this is more important.
On the other side, I, my brother, Princess Mifa, and Erica seat in that order.
I’m sitting in the top seat, not my brother because it’s a welcome party for me, who’s becoming a son-in-law.
Shortly after I sat down, the food was brought in. We were served appetizers, but Sasha and Lara had the tomato risotto and hamburger I made as we had discussed. Of course, with honey lemon.
“Mother-in-law, have the meal with medicinal herbs that I made. In case you have no appetite, I made it lighter but you did say you were hungry. The meat has a nice flavor and seasoning. It’s a little greasy, so if you think it’s difficult, you don’t have to force yourself, please leave it. “
“Wow! Did Luke make this? It smells delicious!”
Lara’s very excited … I wonder if she’s feeling high because she met her mother for the first time in a long while.
“It looks really good. Even so, it seems that Lara, who’s shyer than anyone else, is very fond of His Highness Luke, right?”
“Hey! Why don’t you have my part!”
“Anna! Why do you use such bad language?”
“I’m sorry mom!”
Anna is angry for some reason!
“I thought you wouldn’t want to eat my food …”
“That … it smells so good … I want to eat Luke-sama’s food …”
She said she wanted to eat, even Princess Mifa …
My brother beside me is also curious, but he doesn’t say he wants to eat. He said that the Duke prepared a welcome supper, so as the older brother, saying he wanted to eat his brother’s food is rude.
“Luke, do you have any more ingredients? It’s the first time I’ve seen this dish, but it looks very delicious … I’d love to eat it if possible?”
“I have extra portions prepared, so if you tell the cooks, they can prepare it.”
All you have to do is put the tomato risotto on a plate and bake the hamburger steak, so everyone’s portion was served immediately.
“””delicious!”””
“Luke, is this dish a court dish of the Kingdom of Wolg?”
“Um……”
When I was frozen at the question of the Duke of Guile, my brother spoke up.
“Dinner isn’t enough for this guy, He sneaks into the kitchen at night to cook and eat an extra meal by himself … He makes it himself but leaves without cleaning up at all, so at breakfast, I get many complaints from the cooks that they had to clean up before It was made. It seems that they were really in trouble because he used the ingredients they prepared for breakfast and lunch. “
” Ufufu … so that’s why he’s a little puffy.”
The princess laughed at me … and she pointed out I was fat!
“Luke … Don’t do it here. If you leave the ingredients at night without cleaning up, the mice will increase.”
“That’s what the cooks said … Luke, really hold back over here?”
“I know! Why does brother have to say something unnecessary!”
“Luke onichan, it’s delicious ?”
Lara seems to like the hamburger steak. It’s at the top of the children’s favorite meal ranking.
By the way, I think it was like this when I saw it on TV.
1st place curry rice
2nd place sushi
3rd place Chicken karaage
4th place hamburger
5th place potato fries
6th place Ramen
7th place Yakiniku
8th place omelet rice
9th place pizza
10th place fried rice
“Truly … I wonder if I should have a little more …”
Anna-chan gave me a compliment!
My brother and I are eating the full course meal prepared by the cooks, and it’s very delicious. Especially the salt and pepper beef steak is excellent!
* * *
“Sasha, how are you feeling?”
The promised 30 minutes had already passed, and the worried Duke of Guile called out.
“I feel really good. Maybe it’s gone?”
“No, mother-in-law … This is temporary. If I had a level of 30 or more, I would have been able to cure you immediately, but intermediate magic wouldn’t be enough.”
“Luke oni-chan … Mother isn’t healed?”
“Yeah, but it’s okay cause it’s a curable disease.”
“Wow! There seems to be no lie in Luke’s words! You really can heal her?”
“Is that true Mifa? Sasha can be cured? … thank God”
The princess may have said that she had judged it by her own skill to reassure everyone. Duke Guile and Anna are delighted with tears.
“Really? Will Luke cure my mother?”
“Yeah. Lara doesn’t have to worry.”
Lara stood up and ran over and hugged me on my waist saying “Thank you” … cute!
“Lara will thank Luke by playing the piano!”
What? A piano? Speaking of which, there is a cloth-covered item in the corner of the room.
“Lara, we’re eating right now, do it later.”
“Oh, dear …She’s saying that a shy girl like her will play the piano for someone? I want to hear it too.”
Sasha’s voice overturned the opinion of the Duke of Guile … Yeah, let’s not go against mother-in-law in this house!
When the maid removed the cloth, there was a grand piano …
“Fairy san! Why is there a piano! 』\
“♪ This world is based on master’s world. The piano is also one of the cultures that God has transferred. Luke also had an exclusive teacher when he was a child … “
When I search my memories, I can certainly remember … but I quit after a year when I was 6 years old.
It was started by my mother, but my father said if I had time to do that, I should learn more swordsmanship and I immediately quit.
Lara’s piano piece is suitable for super beginners. But the figure that plays hard for me is cute!
Even so, this grand piano … it sounds so good.
“♪ This piano is the finest piano made by a collaboration of dwarves and elves. Since the piano wire is made of Mithril wire, it has a good reputation as a product that produces a very good tone. “
Actually, I’ve been wanting to play it for a while now… Actually, from the time I was in the third grade of elementary school until I entered high school, I attended a piano class once a week with my sister in the neighborhood.
Unlike Luke, I asked my mother to let me though…
The song played by an older sister I knew who was doing a street live on the street near the station was amazing, and I wanted to play it that way too … I also bought an electronic piano that could mute its sound so that I could practice at home.
The reason why I quit the piano class … I was so dexterous and enthusiastic that I was quite good at it by the time I entered high school.
Anna and Sasha also played one song and even Princess Mifa showed off… The skill of the princess was considerable. Apparently, in the Kingdom of Forrell, most girls can play as a favorite of aristocratic females.
“My little sister is good!”
“Thank you Anna”
“By the way, did Luke learn when he was a kid?”
“Yes … forced by his mother …”
“I want to listen to Luke’s piano!”
My brother said something unnecessary, so I was begged by Lara!
Hmmm! I want to play it, but once I start doing it, I’ll definitely be too into it!
“I’m sorry, it’s not at a level that people can listen to …”
“Oh? Why lie?”
Shoot! Princess Mifa! I can’t escape!
15 minutes later —
“Aru-day ♪” “Aru-hi ♪”
“In the forest ~ ♪” “In the forest ~ ♪”
“To bear ~ ♪” “To bear ~ ♪”
“It was ~ ♪” “It was ~ ♪”
Following me, Lara is singing very happily.
Princess Mifa and Sasha are listening to it with a smiley face.
Of course, the accompaniment is me —
“If you meet a bear, you can eat it!”
“This bear is a gentle bear, so it’s okay!”
“The shy Lara is singing in public so happily …”
“Blooming ~ Blooming ~ Tulip flowers ~ ♪
?Lined up ~ Na ~ Randa ~ Red White Yellow ~ ♪
No matter which flower you look at, it’s beautiful! “
The tulips I gave to Lara were displayed on the supper table, which made me happy.
It was good so far … I was in good shape and I got into it …
I just played Chopin’s “Farewell Song”, which I’m good at … It was too late by the time I noticed … Princess Mifa was crying …{TN: If you’d like to listen to it, here’s a link}
Others were also dazed …
“Luke … that’s wonderful!”
The princess wiped her tears and praised me … This song certainly touches the heart …
“Luke! Where did you practice like this before I knew it?”
I can’t say … the princess is watching over here!
“Hi, it’s a secret …”
” Master is stupid …”
I can’t make excuses to the fairy’s merciless comment …
“♪ You can’t undo what you’ve already done, so you have to say that you were practicing secretly.”?
“But I’ll be exposed to the princess, right? 』\
“♪ It’s a fact that you were practicing. Not everything is a lie, so you can only cheat well. If you want to continue playing the piano, which is one of master’s hobbies, I think it’s better not to hide it anymore. “
“I’m addicted to the tone of this piano with its Mithril strings … It’s hard to ignore when it’s in front of me …”
Now I’ve really done it!
When I continued to play Chopin’s super-fast “Fantasy Improvisation”, everyone drew near.
“Luke is amazing! I couldn’t see his fingers cause it was so fast!”
“Luke … that’s too amazing! This is the first I’ve heard this song, but is it popular in the Kingdom of Wolg? Please tell me if you’d like.”
When I was first asked by the princess, I was in a pinch, but I overcame it with an “I don’t know” face.
After that, I played “Heroes Polonaise” and “Revolutionary Etude” before I stopped.
In order to play songs of this level, I had to practice and memorize so much that my fingers move freely without looking at the score over and over again … I don’t know any simple songs, rather, I don’t remember them. You can’t play without a score. For that reason, I ended up choosing only such difficult songs. Let’s play Beethoven soon.
“Mother-in-law … Shall we return to the room soon?”
“I’m still okay.”
“That’s no good. In the worst case, you’ll be overwhelmed later, so that’s it for today.”
“That’s right! I’ll follow Luke’s instructions, the first 30 minutes we agreed on have already passed.”
The banquet was over with everyone excited by my piano.
My reputation in the Duke’s house seems to have risen … I don’t think I’ll be uncomfortable in this house.
