Chapter 22

Translated by ShufenAfter a few days, I explained the situation to the diner coupleWhen I deliver bento to the ic institute, I would like to have three extra bento prepareI don’t want to create more work but I want the other chefs like Rick to do their bestI think it’s also ideal if we can build a reasonable relationshi+p with the royal palace’s dining hallSoWhen I went to deliver to the ic institute, Luna stared at the basket that still contains the three bentosI start to make my way to the kitchenI have a rough idea as to where the kitchen is locatedWhile I worry about people watching me, I’ve arrived at the kitchenIt is a little far froht, I’ll use Senna’s tactic and say I got lostI can see the entrance of the dining hallI looked inside and sighAs expectedThe facility within the royal palace is very goodThe stained glassis large and the area is decorated with ceramic tilesBut…Even though it is the busiest time of the day, half of the seats are left openThis is a serious situation“Hey, there’s someone from the diner here”

“Oh, it’s trueIt’s a dreadful scout”I was standing by the entrance of the dining hall and heard a hurried voiceIt was a bad idea to wander into the dining hall with such a large basket because I’ a disturbance“I’m sorryDo you knohere I can find Rick?” (Haruka)

I ask the staff member who made those remarksIt seems to be better to have Rick come over to where I am instead“Oh, you know Rick? Do you want me to call for him?”

“Yes, pleaseThank you!” (Haruka)

I thought I was saved by a nice guy until he walked into the kitchen and in a loud voice said “Rick! The enemy has come to declare ith you”

I wonder what the custoht when they look overI didn’t want to stand out…Rick came out quickly and was surprised to see me“What’s wrong?” (Rick)

“Uht some bentoIf you’d like, please have them”

I lift the top of the basket to show himIt was only three bento but Rick showed me a happy face that came from the bottom of his heart“Wow! Thank you! I’m sorry I forced you to do this” (Rick)

“No, I should be sorry” (Haruka)

“No way! I’ll get the ht awayHow much is it?” (Rick)

“I don’t want any moneyI hope this helps you” (Haruka)As expected, Rick firmly declinedI didn’t try to push it so I accepted the moneyThe diner couple seemed to be somewhat bothered by the fact that some people were inconvenienced by their bento delivery businessWe hope that we can help inspire Rick and the others to do their bestAt the entrance of the dining hall, he kept asking questions and talking about old enemies, forbidden love, and lover’s quarrelThe old man continued to talk until Rick interrupted him“Thank you very much for thisWe will enjoy this in the kitchenI’ll see you again soon” (Rick)

“No, if it’s okay please let me knohat you of the tasteGoodbye” (Haruka)I’m happy that he’s pleasedI went back to the diner in a good moodThat night, so for me・ ・ ・ ・There was a round htOutside the , there was the sound of insectsI’ in bed and I couldn’t fall asleepSometimes I feel like thisIt’s about the things that happened during the year I was the Priestess,in nowWhere and hoill I live my life in the future?The night air makes me feel uneasyHowever, at the same time, there is a type of kindness in itThat’s why I’m sadAhhh…this is painfulIt’s very painfulI turned over in the bed without sleepingI looked over to theand closed my eyesI’m scared of complete darknessI always have the curtains open

I’m scared of complete darknessI always have the curtains openThewith the full moon, but it’s better than the darknessSuddenly a shadow appeared in the htMy bed is next to theso the unfamiliar shadow appears over my bed from the outsideI carefully open my eyes--What’s going on?I held my breath and slowly look back at theThe as opening quietlyHow aht now?

I couldn’t say anythingAside from that, I couldn’t even breathI could only watch the intruder climb over theframeThe face of the intruder wasn’t visible because of theover his back, but I quickly understood who it was“…Noel?” (Haruka)I wasn’t sure, but at the same time, I kneas himThe two contradicting speculations are starting to hurt my head

There was no reply from the other partyHe quickly closed theinstead of answeringThe sound of the insect could be heard froain“Haruka” (Noel)A low voice tickled my earI can’t believe thisWhat’s going on?I stayon the quiltI noticed my hands were sweatyNoel, on the other hand, didn’t ot onto the bed

Noel, on the other hand, didn’t ot onto the bedWe stayed strangely quiet for a whileIt was Noel who eventually broke the silence“Long time no see” (Noel)

It was a so that was unsuitable in the situation we’re in“No, not reallyI met you in the hallway in the royal palace the other day” (Haruka)

“What are you doing in this place?” (Noel)After he said that, I re himThis is crazy and too funnyWhat a splendid trespassA ht to the Priestess, who in thelady’s bedroomWhat are you going to do?“What did you come here for?” (Haruka)

“I came to talk to you” (Noel)
