Chapter 25

Hafuu…… I slept well.

Ara, the carriage is not moving.

「Iris~」

I poke my head through the curtain and call.

「Ah, Koyu-sama. You are awake? You have slept well」

「Seems so. So, are you taking a break now?」

「That’s ri- Eh?’」

Un. I will also get down.

「Don’t overdo it. I will lend you a hand」

I’m sorry. It seems to be slightly high. When I tried to get off, my foot didn’t reach the ground. That’s right. There usually was a stair-like thing. But, Iris doesn’t need it, does she?

━━Returning to the main subject━━

In the bush again…… embarra.s.sing. Does everyone not mind it? Let’s stealthily try asking Iris.

Ara, departing already? Yes, it was a break for that, wasn’t it?

I board the carriage (the simple stairs were properly installed)…… Ara, Iva is in the carriage this time. The opportunity to talk became fewer, but this is a chance.

「How unusual seeing you inside, Iva」

「Iris, outside, request」

「Ara. I wonder why…… right, right, what kind of food does Iva like?」

「All」

N? All?

「Then, your dislikes?」

「Non-edible」

…… Iva…… non-edible things are not to be hated, but not to be eaten……

「Umm. Let’s see, tea you drank today or tea you drank yesterday, which did you like?」

「…… Both……」

「Both?」

「Were tasty」

Is that so? I’m happy. Then, then.

「Which did you like more, yesterday’s dango broth or this morning’s tomato soup?」

「Dango broth? Tomato soup?」

「Umm, dango broth was the miso soup with dumplings and tomato soup was the red vegetable soup」

「Miso soup? What? Red vegetable? Mate?」

Ah, there’s no miso over here? Mate? Is that tomato?

Pocket, rustle, rustle. Cask of miso…… ah, this. Searching through carry-on one-by-one is difficult. Let’s swap it to the cloth.

I take out a cloth and line the vegetables on it.

「Iva, this is Mate?」

I point at the tomato.

「Un. Mate」

I point at potato.

「Then, what is this one called?」

「Teru」

Carrot……
