“Guhh”

Takeo woke up with a strong stimulus to his abdomen.

Alice had hit him in her sleep. Kneed him in the abdomen.

The attacker was sleeping soundly next to him.

“………..This isn’t her being angry right…………..’

Takeo thought about it as he stroked Alice’s thigh.

Alice began to relax.

“…………Good…………morning.”

She greeted him.

“Yes. Lady Alice, good morning.”

Takeo greeted her as he stroked her thigh.

“………….Sir Takeo…………….why are you stroking my thigh?”

“Well, it makes me feel good.”

“Do you want to do it?”

“Is that so?”

Takeo put his hand on Alice’s bum.

“!?………….Today it isn’t allowed!!”

Alice put some distance between them.

“…………….Ah? Today?”

“Uhh………if we do it in the morning………I get too tired………”

Alice said with a bright red face.

“Fufu. Then let’s do it when we have an opportunity next.”

Takeo got off the bed and began to change his clothes.

Alice got off the bed and began to change her clothes.

“Sir Takeo, what’s your plan for the day?”

“Today morning I want to continue practicing horse riding as a continuation from yesterday.”

“Yes, understood and then?”

“Since we don’t know when the furniture will arrive, the rest is undecided.

If there is time while we wait for the furniture then I would like to practice the rifle for a while.”

“I see. Understood.

………….I’m done changing.

What about you Sir Takeo?”

“I’m done too.

Shall we go to the dining room?”

“Yes.”

Takeo and Alice headed to the dining hall.

No one was there so Alice and Takeo waiting for the others to arrive.

“Sister, Sir Takeo, good morning.”

“Yes, Smith good morning.”

“Young master Smith good morning.”

“Hn? Takeo and Alice, you’re here already? You’re early today.”

“Everyone, good morning.”

“Mr. Elvis, Mr. Fredrick, good morning.”

“Grandfather, Fredrick, good morning.”

They greeted Grandpa Elvis and Fredrick that came at the end.

“Good morning.”

Grandpa Elvis said as he came and sat on his seat. The food was then brought in.

Takeo liked the lettuce so he decided to ask Fredrick about it.

“Mr. Fredrick, is this mayonnaise with lettuce?”

“Yes. The mayonnaise has been made with the recipe that you taught us, Sir Takeo. Does it not taste good with salad?”

“It’s just seasoning and dressing so there is no problem but.”

“But……………….what is it?”

“Did the cooks under the chef try something new with the mayonnaise?”

Takeo asked.

Fredrick seemed to be thinking for a bit.

“…………They would call me if they were going to change something so…………there isn’t any specific change right now.”

“Is that so?”

“…………………What did you think Sir Takeo?”

Alice asked her while eating the salad.

“No. It’s a very simple recipe to taste, anyone can make it…………..

How will it turn out? I was just wondering. It hasn’t even been 2 days yet……..

Right now I was thinking of, [Potato Salad], [Macaroni Salad] or [Tartar sauce and shrimp].”

“I’ve never heard of any of those before.”

Grandpa Elvis said.

“Yes, me either.”

Alice said.

“Me too.”

Smith said.

“Hoo, what is it?”

Fredrick asked.

All 4 of them were quite interested.

“That’s right…………Hn-…………I can make it for dinner today?”

“PLEASE DO!”

All of them seem to say at once.

“Ah…………..this land is not surrounded by sea…….is shrimp difficult to get?”

“Well, it’s expensive.”

“Okay, then let’s not do that.”

“EEHHHHHHHH”

Everyone other than Fredrick was disappointed.

“Shrimp is expensive, right? Then something that goes with tartar sauce……….onion fry can be used.”

…………..Is oil expensive?”

“It’s not as expensive as seafood.”

“I see………….so it’s expensive…….okay, let’s stop with that then.”

“……………………”

The 3 of them didn’t say anything as they looked to the floor disappointed.

“There is no need to be that depressed………..because…….it’s expensive isn’t it??”

“Takeo…………..fried chicken is going to be tonight’s dinner…………..so will you make a sauce for that?”

Grandpa Elvis complained, with tears in his eyes.

……………..It’s not that bad, is it?? Takeo thought.

“So it’s fried chicken. Understood, I’ll make it.

Mr. Fredrick, excuse me but can you ask the chef to secure the ingredients?”

“Yes.”

“Boiled potato – 2 per person

Ham – 1 slice per person

Cucumber – 1 per person

Boiled Macaroni – 1 small bowl per person

Boiled egg – 1.5 per person

Sliced onion – half per person

Chopped onion – quarter per person

Boiled carrot – quarter per person

And plenty of mayonnaise.”

“Certainly. It will be prepared.”

“Please do let me know when it’s done.

I’ll be practicing horseback riding in the morning and the furniture delivery will come during the day. I’ll also practice the rifle while waiting for the furniture so I’ll be back only in the evening.”

“Certainly.”

The 3 others were relieved as they resumed their meals.

Takeo began to eat as well.

This mayonnaise had lemon in it so Takeo felt that it tasted pretty good.
