Vol Chapter 7 (2/2)

I approached my younger brother who looks worn out.

“Elder Brother, this is rare. I was just going to take a break, too.”

“That’s good,” I said, then asked the male a.s.sistant to prepare tea.

“I had it especially made enough for two people’s share today. It’s bento.”

“Bento?” Al seemed curious when I announced it with pride.

Al’s eyes went wide when he lifted his lids.

“This is beautiful. It’s a meal that can be eaten without expressly going to the dining hall! Furthermore, it’s delicious!”

He started eating the bento ahead of me!

If I don’t hurry up, even my share will be gone at the rate he’s going.

“By the way Elder Brother, who made this? Have you finally found a lover?”

“No, I picked up a young man recently. His appearance is like that of a woman but he is considerably strong willed and very intelligent.”

“He’s working in the garden right now,” I replied, then proceeded to introduce Haruto.

Al ate the bento with surprising swiftness.

“Please express my grat.i.tude to Haruto-san, too. It was delicious.”

I left the office while saying, “Got it.”

Thereafter, I brought bento for Al everyday and it became popular inside the royal palace.
