Chapter 70 (2/2)

way I would get drunk off jelly, isn’t that right? Even I’m careful in that situation.5

「Leaving that aside, how is it? Although it’s umeshu this time, but I wonder how it would be if pears or grapes were used with white wine to make a similar jelly.」

Rather, perhaps it would be good to try using the pear compote as it is and turn it into a jelly ne. Since I can easily make it if it’s that.

「Nn? Aah, that’s right na. Since Sakura thinks it’s a good idea, isn’t it fine to try and make it?」

「Mu, that’s a very ‘whatever you do is fine’ type of response ne. Since I purposely wanted to hear your opinion, please say what you think, Prince.」6

「No, even if you say that, because I don’t understand how to make it good, my answer… Sakura? Your face is red, are you alright?」7

「I’m fine you know. If you don’t understand, then please say it properly. Otherwise, it will sound like nothing but ‘whatever is okay’, wouldn’t it? ……Nn, as expected, it’s actually a little sour ne. If I had left it to ferment a little longer, would that have been better?」

「Say, are you really alright? Wouldn’t it be better to take a rest?」

「Geez, I already said I’m fine~. The Prince is a worrywart nee~. Rather, are you alright, Prince? You look wobbly, you know?」

Exactly as I said, the Prince was swaying in front of my eyes. Saying things like I’m weak to alcohol, unexpectedly, isn’t it the Prince who’s drunk?

Huh? Could the King and Queen also be drunk? Princess Aria, Prince Sedrim, as well as Princess Abelia are wobbling too, you know? Huh, huh? Could everyone be weak to alcohol?

「Aah, don’t eat anymore.」

「Ah-! How cruel!」

The Prince s.n.a.t.c.hed away the plum from my spoon! Furthermore, he picked it with his fingers!

「Even though I purposely set it aside to eat it at the end! Please return it! ……Nom.」

I caught his arm, which was carrying off the plum away from me, and s.n.a.t.c.hed it with my mouth.

「Ara…」

「Fumu…?」

「Oh my…」

「Hou…」

「Ara ara.」

「Nn…… chu…, gulp…」

As expected, there’s a little sourness, but it’s delicious in its own way. The juice(?) gradually spreading inside my mouth is nice too ne.

「Sa-Sakura…?」

「Nnm, mm… chupu.」

I carefully sucked off the plum’s flavour from the Prince’s fingers with my mouth.

With a cling sound, I spat out the seed into a gla.s.s.

「Huh? What’s the matter? Your face is red…… you know…?」

Just when I thought my sight was swaying, my consciousness was suddenly cut off.
