Chapter 40 (1/2)

N~ my body feels like a log. I think I also had a shallow sleep.

But, I have to make the breakfast, don't I? I want to at least eat a proper soup. Yesterday was a regrettable one.

I think I had put dried meat in the pot…… stock broke out on the side and the meat became soft.

And put the pot on the fire.

Let's try a bit of the cow thistle. Un, the bitterness has been considerably suppressed. This will become the color of the soup. Because it has a texture, it will also fill up? Fufu.

Because dried meat has some salt, it seems that I can finish with just a little of the remaining seaweed salt.

Let's finish it after everyone wakes up.

I have to learn magic as soon as possible……

I have to wash the pot, don't I? I have water kept in a barrel for meals, but was.h.i.+ng it with that…… but, the tea……

Ah…… it's dirty……

…… acha…… Baachan……

Who……

「Who is it? s.h.i.+n-chan?」

「Baachan, are you alright?」

Ah…… it's…… Ivar……

「I'm all right, Ivar. I'm just sleepy because I got up early」

I answer Ivar while feeling a tad giddy. Keep it together, what are you doing making him worry. I scold myself.

「Really? Are you really alright?」

Ah…… I really made him worry……

Look, sweet smile.

「Fufu. I'm fine, I made you worry, didn't I?」

「I…… I'm glad…… you…… weren't waking…… coll…… ap…… se…… d……」

「I'm all right. I'm sorry. I just thought to make a breakfast」

Zuki……

「It's just right since Ivar is awake. I wanted to clean the small pot and boil water in it. Can you do it?」

「Small pot? Dirty?」

「Yes. I parboiled the cow thistle in it, you see. Tea with remains of cow thistle is not delicious」

「Understood」

Fuu…… the moment Ivar turned around, I felt overwhelmed…… no, not yet…… n, zuki…… zuki, nn…… fuu, I'm alright. It's nothing. Let's take medicine later.

I shake my head at the current situation…… let's obediently sleep in the carriage after the breakfast. It seems I overdid myself a little……

While sitting down and waiting for the hot water, everyone has woken up.

I stand up, put the chopped cow thistle in the pot and complete the soup. Un, it smells appetizing.

「Good morning, the breakfast is ready」
