Episode 41.1-2 (1/2)
”When will it get to the duel.”
”Real sorry about this, Lecan. The story just won't end huh? But I'm sure even you would like to find out things about your opponent before a duel. I believe knowing how the matter this time unfolded is an important part of your duel. Could you bear with it for a little bit more.”
”Yea.”
When Lecan took on quests to march into enemy HQs or such, he would first learn the other party's war forces and escape route. As such, he doesn't actually think listening here is a waste of time.
Besides, Norma's voice is comforting. As he just spent half a year waging his life in the dungeon daily, taking it easy while listening to this comforting voice for the whole day isn't a bad idea at all. He also found it interesting how they calmly dealt with the situation in Norma's tales.
”But I sure am getting hungry. Looks like it's about time for lunch too. I have made arrangement to get food here. It might not be in best behavior, but let's all have a meal while I narrate the story. Lecan, and you all too, do listen as you enjoy your meal.”
Maids came in and skillfully brought food like bread and stuff to the reception table. Then they divided it into each person serving.
Lecan's serving has twice the other's amounts on top of another plate with a lot of meat.
”Now then. Let's dig in.”
”Let's.”
”Time to eat~.”
”Jinga, and you too Findin, take your seat too.”
”Yes.”
”Please excuse me.”
(Norma really knows me well.)
(Had she got us to move to the dining room first.)
(I'd probably get irritated.)
He casually stabbed a piece of meat with a fork, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
(Good stuff.)
(Meat sprinkled only with salt and spice.)
(Is real good.)
He continued like that while occasionally biting on bread in his left hand. Though to Lecan, even a big loaf of bread is gone in two bites.
Findin stared at Lecan's table manner with a look of shock. Even without that, Lecan's big stature is menacing enough. How he opened his mouth wide like a wild beast, biting on a huge amount of meat and bread, the spectacle was simply full of impact.
Jericho piled up a platter full of Yelkonte, Sarigona and Marfus fruits. Watching a magic beast having his meal in a reception room is surreal, but no one seems surprised. They've gotten used to it.
