“…”

Takeo started to wake up.  

… It was hard to breathe…

When he opened his eyes. 

Mia was in front of his eyes… she was lying on her stomach on his face!!

“!!!!!!?”

Takeo screamed silently and peeled Mia off from his face.

“Wah! … Good morning, Master.”

Mia raised her hand and greeted while he was holding the back of her clothes like holding a cat by the scruff.  

“… Good morning, Mia.

 Why on my face?”

“No, it’s just… I wondered if you would wake up if I got on.”  

“… Is that so … Can you help wake up Miss Alice the same way?”

Takeo said while looking at Alice lying next to him facing upwards, her hands sprawled out. 

“Yes.”

 Mia got on Alice’s face on her stomach.  

… and Alice slightly opened her eyes …

“Wow !!!!” She opened her eyes and screamed. 

Takeo peeled Mia off Alice’s face.

“Good morning, Alice-sama.”

With her back against Takeo, Mia raised her hand and greeted. 

“Eh!? … What? … Ah …

Good morning, Mia-chan.

Good morning to you too, Takeo-sama. “

Alice sat up and greeted them with confusion. 

“Yes, Miss Alice, good morning.”

Takeo greeted her with a smile.

“… and Mia-chan, why on my face?”

“It’s just… I wondered if you would wake up if I got on.”

“Is that so … Mia-chan, you can’t wake people up like that., you know?”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, it surprises the person, right?

Should be like … Let’s take a method that does not surprise the person, such as shaking the shoulder.”

“… I understand.

By the way …  Master and Alice-sama were dressed when I last saw you, but why are you naked? 

Do humans sleep naked? “

When Mia pointed it out, Alice turned bright red and gathered the blanket to hide her front.

“…I rarely sleep naked, but usually I sleep in clothes.”

“Is that so.”

 Mia nodded at Takeo’s explanation.

“Maybe it’s just me and Miss Alice, so don’t go asking other people, okay?

 But … Humans usually wear clothes to sleep. “

“Yes, I understand. Master.”

“Then, Miss Alice. Shall we get dressed too?”

“Yes.”

Both of them got out of bed with Takeo’s words and started getting dressed. [Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

————————————————————-

After breakfast, they all had tea time in the parlor.

Frederick made tea, placed it in front of the three, and took a step back from everyone.

Mia was served freshly squeezed apple juice in a small milk pitcher.

Incidentally, Mia fluttered and flew into the kitchen saying “there’s something that smells delicious”, and caused a scene in the kitchen, which was amusing. 

“Mr. Frederick.”

“Yes, what is it, Takeo-sama.”

“Have you sent someone to check on the rye liquor?”

“No. I was thinking of giving instructions after this … Is there anything about that?”

“I want them to buy it when they go to check and find it … I want to drink it.”

“Takeo, is that liquor smooth?”

“As I talked about it yesterday, it’s no different from brandy.

However, brandy is expensive, so we, the common people, drink whiskey and beer. “

“Beer?”

Grandpa Elvis and Frederick ask.

“…Is beer also not here….”

Takeo said with a bitter smile.

“Yes, I don’t know.”

“I do not know.”

“As I can recall, it’s wort made from barley and fermented.”

“Hmm? Isn’t the manufacturing method similar to the liquor you said yesterday?”

“It’s almost the same.

Whiskey is made by distilling fermented wheat to increase the purity of alcohol.

Beer is made by filtering fermented wheat and drinking it.

Fermented means that it’s carbonated, so it’s making something like carbonated wine.

Beer is a liquor with distinctive bitterness more than sweetness because it’s made from wheat and goes down smoothly. “

“Can you make beer from rye?”

“Beer uses the same process up to halfway as whiskey, so you can make it.

However, where I’m from, beer was made by mixing barley and hops… and fragrances so… rye wouldn’t be accepted by everyone due to the taste.

You won’t be able to find a delicious mixture right away.

For now, let’s find whiskey that can be easily made with only one type of ingredient.”

“Yes, that’s right.

Someday, I want to drink the beer that Takeo talked about. “

“If you find whiskey, I think you can make it using the same equipment.

 I think it’s relatively easy, though. “

“I’m looking forward to the new liquor.”

“Yes.”

 Grandpa Elvis and Takeo talked happily.

“So, what are you guys doing today?”

“I’m training with Harold in the morning. And study in the afternoon.”

Smith seemed to go with the usual routine. 

“I’m going to look for Mia’s room.”

“Room?”

Grandpa Elvis asked.

“Yes, I thought I’d make Mia’s room in my study.

It would be nice if there’s a dollhouse of a suitable size. “

“I see.”

“I will go with Takeo-sama too.”

 “… Alice and dollhouse?”

Grandpa Elvis squinted and wondered.

“….What is it, Grandfather?”

“No… It’s just that Alice didn’t show any interest in dolls and the like.”

“Umm … I liked being outside rather than playing with dolls.”

“That’s right.

Jessie and Layla were often indoors, but Alice was always playing outside while getting muddy.”

“Grandfather … You don’t have to say it like that?”

Alice protested with her eyes.

“Fufu, Miss Alice was active?”

“Yes! That’s it! Yes, I was active!”

“Takeo … Alice was a tomboy.”

“No! I was active.”

“Haha.

 You were playing energetically, right? Isn’t that good? “

“As expected, Takeo-sama! You understand.”

“… Takeo, thank you so much for loving Alice.”

Grandpa Elvis bowed and thanked him.

“Hmm… Takeo-sama? Grandfather is saying something, but don’t mind it?”

“Yes, yes, I know.”

Takeo happily talked to Alice.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
