Ch 51 — Silent Pressure

The carriage came to a halt at sunset . “This is far enough for today . ” Lambert-san ordered as they prepared to camp for the night .

“Hoi, don’t forget your promise earlier . ” growled Fer .

Wait, did I promise him something?

“You said you’d make me a luxury dinner . Remember?”

Oh, so I did . I’d completely forgotten in all the excitement but Fer had remembered, of course .

“I get it I get it, so what do you want to eat?”

“Sui wants to eat fried food-” Sui interjected .

“Ooh, what you made last time sounds good . Fried food for me too . ” Fer added, going along with Sui .

I wasn’t that hungry but something hot sounded good .

Since I promised Fer a luxury meal I decided to make two kinds of flavouring, one with a soy-sauce base and one with a salt base . For the meat, I chose some Black Serpent and what was left of the Cockatrice and Rock Bird and deep-fried them with soy-sauce and salt .

“Aruji, can I eat it-”

“Just wait a moment . ” I put the fried food on a dish and pushed it over to Fer and Sui .

“Oh, this tastes different . It’s also delicious-” Sui said . Oh, Sui noticed . It’s nice to be praised .

Fer was silent as usual, gobbling up the fried food . I expect it’s delicious for you too the way you’re devouring it . Well I can always fry up some more . . .

Lambert-san, a boy he had hired and members of ‘Phoenix’ were gathered around us . I was being silently stared at . Some of them were drooling . The pressure . . .

Oh, right . I got it .
