Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

In the drawing-room, there was Grandpa Elvis, King Azupal, William, Layla, Alice, and Smith.

“Alice, are you feeling well?”

“Yes, sister Layla, I feel fine.

No dullness, no fever.”

“Okay, Takeo-san was very worried about you. He thought you’re pushing yourself too hard.”

“… Takeo is sometimes overprotective of me.”

“It’s nice to know that you’re always first in his thoughts. He loves you.

I’m sure Takeo-san would be happy to make anything Alice wanted to eat.”

“…I can’t deny it.”

Alice thought about Layla’s words for a moment, but could not deny it and smiled.

“When I woke up, I was surprised to find that sister Layla and Takeo went out together.

I wanted to go too, you know?”

“I didn’t want to wake you up, because you were sleeping so comfortably.”

“Ugh… I had a bath and suddenly I felt sleepy… I thought I could have a little…”

“Well, you were tired, weren’t you?”

Elvis replied to the sisters’ conversation.

“I’m sure she was, she’d been in battle.

Takeo-san said she may be mentally tired, so we should let her sleep,” Layla said.

“… Well, if you put it that way, Takeo-sama fought too…” Alice mumbled.

“Maybe he’s feeling uplifted.”

King Azupal said in reply to Alice’s words.

“I’m sure he is. He had fought for a long time though it was his first fight.

I’m sure he’s tired, but I’m sure he’s in a great mood and can stay awake.

Well, I’m sure Takeo knows that too.”

William also commented.

“Oh, by the way, Layla, did you learn how to peel apples, too?”

“Yes, I think I was able to make it cute…”

Layla smiled as she answered William’s question.

“I heard that Takeo brought a girl into the house.”

“…Brought a girl in… I’m sure Takeo-san would object to that if he heard it.”

William listens to King Azpal’s unwarranted slander with dismay.

“I think it was Miss Hilda?

I heard that she is the daughter of the head chef.

Wasn’t she the girl who wanted to learn about peeling apples?

Alice asks Layla a question.

“‘No, it’s not. At first, he was teaching Klareth, the chief soldier’s daughter.

Hilda was just passing by and started learning with her.”

“I don’t know what to say… Takeo, who taught her without checking her identity…”

“And the fact that the girl he taught is the daughter of someone he knows…”

Elvis and William laughed.

“So, why did Takeo-sama like Miss Hilda?

I heard the gist of it but not all.”

“Well? I don’t know.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

As I said before, the chef couldn’t decide on a sauce for this evening’s dinner, and the conversation turned to tomato sauce, and Takeo-san asked what kind of tomato dish there was, so I told him, and when I told him, Hilda talked about her failed attempt at creating a dish, and Takeo-san said he would give shape to Hilda’s idea, so he decided to make it.”

“…..Takeo-sama, as usual, makes sudden decisions.”

Alice sighed.

“That was amazing.

Takeo suddenly picked up Hilda, spun her around, and said, “Are you a genius? ‘”

Layla laughed.

“””””What?”””””

Everyone except Layla was surprised.

“I’ve never seen Takeo-sama like that before,” Alice said.

“Hilda was frozen in surprise, and Takeo-san looks as happy as if it were his own.

How should I say it… yes, he was happy as your father was when Smith first stood up.”

“That much?”

“I see, that was quite a moment.”

Elvis and Alice nodded at Layla’s explanation.

“Well… what was it like?”

Smith asked fearfully.

“At that time I was showing off Smith to everyone I met.

I made the whole town astonished by it.”

“Even as a child, I felt uncomfortable.

I didn’t expect to be in a store and hear, ‘Look! Look at this!’ and making smith stand in every store was quite shocking……Hmm? wait, wait, wait. Did he do it to me, too…?”

Alice asks Elvis.

“Don’t worry.

Of course, I did it with Jesse, Layla, and Alice, too.”

Elvis said in a gentle voice with a slightly distant look in his eyes.

“””・・・・”””

Alice, Layla, and Smith were disappointed.

“But then again, if Takeo is that happy, maybe she really is a genius, huh?”

“What kind of child would Takeo-sama approve of?” Alice said.

“She’s probably still a rough gemstone.

She was a cute little girl who was rebelling against her father for a while.”

Layla answered His Majesty’s and Alice’s questions.

“Can’t wait for her future.”

“Yes.”

Frederick entered the drawing-room.

“Lord, Master Takeo has returned and Lady Hilda has arrived.

As instructed, she has gone to the kitchen instead of this room.”

“Well, thank you, Frederick.”

“Yes.

Also, Takeo-sama told me that the chief soldier will be here later to report on the remaining work.”

“Hmm.

Frederick, how was Miss Hilda?”

“She was very nervous.

It’s her father’s place of work, I suppose.”

“Hmm, did she look like the chef?”

“No, not at all.

She is a very pretty young lady. I’m looking forward to her future.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
