At the Breakfast Table

Note:

Viola

comes from a poor family, so she has no experience with luxury☆

I arrive at the Dukeroom, led by Dahlia and

Mie that it made me want to

ask just how iant number of

dishes pushed together on the table, enough to make me wonder, “This is

breakfast for how many people? Huh?

Was this actually a buffet?” Honestly though, it’s not possible to eat all this

food for breakfast No, seriously

Lotus, who had been waiting here in advance, draws back a seat fordisplay… or

not There’s no way this is just for one person

“Um, Lotus? How many people is this for?” I ask Lotus, who stands

attentively next to aze intently at all the dishes

“Naturally, it is for you alone, Mistress As we did not yet know

your preferences, we prepared a large variety of dishes, but are they not to your taste?”

Lotus replies nonchalantly, as if it’s no big deal

However

Even just looking at the salads alone, there’s a plain salad made

froetables, a potato salad, a Chinese-style salad, and a

Nice-style salad The soup see dishes, there’s beacon

and eggs, has, and rolled omelets Not to mention

boiled sausages and steaurt There’s even

all sorts of bread Seriously, how many people is this for!?

I’m not proud of it, but back home all we ever had was bread and soup

that had a few vegetables in it And we never ate thisin the

ht at this sudden feast (though it’s

still just breakfast ☆)

“Does my husband eat meals like this as well?” I ask, my eyes

still narrowed at the food

“Yes The Duke’s tastes change every day, after all”

A shocking truth is revealed

His tastes

change every day!?

“My, is that so But you’d definitely get leftovers, wouldn’t

cha!?”

What extravagances you indulge in, my husband Someone like him

should go get cursed by that ghost who hates waste!

“Yes, well that’s…” Lotus trails off, despite having been so eloquent
