Chapter 101: Lyss’ First Housework Last Part (Side Story) (1/2)

Lyss had finished hanging the washed clothes without dropping any of them on the floor.

With this, we’ve finished most of the chores before noon.

Currently, Lyss is making lunch together with me.

Since Snow and Chris made breakfast, it’s our turn to make lunch.

The menu is seafood pasta, and vegetable soup.

I cut up the seafood and shrimp I bought earlier in random sizes, and then fried them with some olive-like oil. At the same time I made soup with the stock made from boiling the fish and shellfish.

Lyss stood by my side and peeled a lettuce-like vegetable with her hands.

With this situation the cliché where the clumsy girl cuts her finger with the knife won’t happen, probably.

Even if that happens, we can just treat it immediately with healing magic though.

“But still, even Lyss can do housework without a problem eh?”

“Yes, the worries I had felt at first seemed like a lie now/”

“Furthermore”, she said while putting the vegetable she tore into small pieces onto a dish.

“To be able to do wife-like chores for Lute-san makes me really happy.”

Lyss smiled bashfully.

That smile was very adorable.

I’m really happy too, to have an adorable and pure wife like this.

I turned down the fire on which the pot was boiling.

Give it a taste.

“Un, a bit more salt and it’s good to go. Lyss, give it a pinch of salt, if you please.”

“Understood.”

I leave the final seasoning to Lyss.

The pasta should be done soon, too, so I must tend to it.

I absolutely won’t have mushy pasta for lunch.

But alas, at the last moment, it was careless of me to think “it’s probably fine to leave something like seasoning to Lyss”, had summoned forth the God of cliché.

“The food is done~”

I called Snow and Chris in the living room.

They were getting along nicely and playing the limited version High Elf Reversi which was bought in Enol.

You guys really like that huh.

Snow is winning, as expected.

But compared to before, Chris is putting up a better fight.

“Waa, looks delicious!”

“It looks, delicious.”

Lined up on the table are seafood pasta made with short pasta.

And Lyss’ hand-made simple salad.

And finally the seafood and vegetable soup.

“There are enough for seconds so don’t hold back. Well then, let’s dig in.”

Everyone imitated me, put their hands together and prayed “rub a dub dub, thanks for the grub”, and reached for the wooden fork.

Umu, the pasta is just perfect.

As expected of me.

“Lute-kun, this pasta is delicious.”

“Fish-san’s taste, are abundant”

“I can feel this pasta is filled to the brim with Lute-san’s love for us.”

I broke into a grin at Lyss’ line.

Isn’t it a given that my love for my wives is so much that it can’t be contained by a pot, not even a house would be enough, it would overflow and become a flood!

We all smiled while reaching for the soup with our spoons.

“Urp, pfffffttt!?”

I made this weird sound and spat out the soup with all my might.

Snow and the girls didn’t spat but they covered their mouth while receiving damage.

“Sa, salty! What is this! Sea water!? Gueee, too salty it’s burning my throat!”

“Lu, Luho-kun, what did you do….. wateer~”

“Uu~~~”

Couldn’t stand it anymore, Snow reached out to the water jug.

Chris covered her mouth with one hand and urged Snow for water with an empty cup in the other hand.

Lyss and I got poured some cold water too.

Everyone emptied their cup in one breath.

Since we drank all the water in the jug, Snow made some more with magic.

We emptied another jug.

After everyone has calmed down, we once again stared at the weapon-like soup.
