Chapter 186

Drinking Bout

<hr>A pot-au-feu-like soup with many garnishes, a salad, bread, and fruits in heaps were carried before Allen and Elena .

For Lionel-sama and Tristan-sama, it was the Flamesaurus steak with steaks of other kinds of meat, stir-fried vegetables, and pickle-like things .

“”Will dig in~””

“Yes, go ahead . ”

Allen and Elena promptly sought permission from Grace-sama and started eating .

“Ohh, this is delicious!”

Before I noticed, Lionel-sama as already tasting the Nippy Liquor and was pouring himself another helping .

Although his gla.s.s was smaller than usual, he drank it in one gulp from a gla.s.s that was bigger than the normal sake cup . It seems that he liked the taste of the sake, and was also a considerably heavy drinker .

“Let me see, how does the Flamesaurus meat taste~——n . This is also quite something . Alfried, it’s tasty . ”

“… I am glad to hear that . However, hogging it all to yourself is not good . ”

“N?”

“The children had been curious about the Flamesaurus meat’s taste all this time . Despite that, you eat it all by yourself~ See, please take a look . They are watching you the whole time, Granduncle . ”

As Al-sama said, Allen and Elena were jii~… staring at Lionel-sama who was eating the Flamesaurus steak .

“… Allen, Elena, we still have plenty of Flamesaurus meat . I will cook it for you today, so don’t stare so much . ”

“”Au~””

“Nono, this was my fault . Here, lad, missy, let’s eat together . ”

“”Is fine?””

<hr>“It’s fine, it’s fine . ”

“Sorry about this, Lionel-sama . ”

“What are you saying, this meat and alcohol was a present from you guys, so I should be taking part in looking after you, don’t worry about it . ”

“”Delish~””

“I see, it’s delicious?”

When Allen and Elena sweetly smiled after tasting the Flamesaurus meat Lionel-sama handed them, he also smiled widely at them .

“Oh, this is certainly tasty . ”

“Indeed . The aftertaste is refres.h.i.+ng, isn’t it?”

Tristan-sama and Austin-sama tasted the Nippy Liquor too, and they seemed to be pleased with its taste .

“Well~ Tasting new kind of alcohol again is a happy occasion . ”

“N? Tristan… did you say ‘again’ just now? Do you mean that a new alcoholic drink beside this Nippy Liquor has been discovered?”

“Ah!”

Interjected by Lionel-sama, Tristan-sama made a “Oh, darn” expression .

Did he perhaps mean the brandy? Did Tristan-sama keep the brandy secret from Lionel-sama?

“Err… that’s…”

Although Tristan-sama was a country’s king, he wasn’t a match for his uncle as his eyes were totally swimming the other way when doubted .

“Oh my, I have not heard about that either . ”

Whoaa~ it appears he kept it secret from Grace-sama too .

Grace-sama directed a sharp gaze towards Tristan-sama and his face has visibly turned pale .

“That’s, umm… Tak.u.mi . ”

“Tak.u.mi, you say?”

“Tak.u.mi-san?”

“……”

With Tristan-sama’s words, Lionel-sama and Grace-sama directed their gazes onto me .

… Tristan-sama, you have definitely turned the tip of the spear towards me, did you not?
