Chapter 88

We were joined by Wald-sama and Isaac-san on that day’s dinner, it was very lively.

For dinner, we had scallops that had the appearances of razor clam and turban sh.e.l.l called Yard sh.e.l.lfish with b.u.t.ter and soy sauce, fish meuniére seasoned with curry spice and vegetable sticks with mayonnaise.

The chef of the Risner House Ryan-san repeated trial and error until he gradually started increasing the size of the menu.

Wald-sama and Isaac-san who have never seen such dishes were surprised.

I thought Cedric-san would let them know in a letter, but it appears he bragged only until the jelly. The reason for that was a letter about the newly discovered dungeon, Wald-sama and Isaac-san have been then contacted by the capital, leading them to quickly depart from Shirin.

And, they have arrived in Bailey just today.

So that means, as I thought, Cedric-san knew that Wald-sama and Isaac-san were coming here.

「So good~」

「It’s very delicious」

The two were very satisfied with the new dishes.

And, after that, only the adults were left behind for a few drinks.

「Ou, are the pipsqueaks alright~,」

「Well, somehow…… they were a bit grumpy though」

Adults only, meaning that Allen and Elena aren’t here. I somehow persuaded them and put them to sleep in the room we are borrowing.

Just in case, I summoned Joule and others and had them sleep together with Allen and Elena.

「They basically cling to you after all~」

「It can’t be helped considering the environment and circ.u.mstances they were brought up in though. But, they became able to be separated from you in a little period of time like this, so I’m certainly seeing that they are growing up little by little」

It’s as Isaac-san said, although it’s little by little, I think that Allen and Elena are properly growing up.

The two should have been in a terrible environment. Despite that, those children are growing pure and obedient. That is very joyous.

「The environment they were brought up in, is it?」

Ah, I haven’t told Allen’s and Elena’s past to Cedric-san yet.

「Allen and Elena were orphans and they have been in a rather bad environment」

「Was that so…… Then, they are not related by blood with Tak.u.mi-san……」

Cedric-san was surprised from the bottom of his heart, that’s what I felt.

Does it mean he saw us as a genuine family? That is wonderful!

「Tak.u.mi and the twins are so like family that blood relations are irrelevant after all!」

Then, Wald-sama affirmed just what I was thinking about.

「Wald-sama, thank you very much. I’m very happy hearing you say that」

「I see, I see! Here, Tak.u.mi. You usually don’t drink much, right? Drink and drink today!」

「That’s true. Ah, right. Won’t you try drinking this?」

I took out several bottles of the brandy I drew in the dungeon.

On the way back, I saw stylish bottles in a store we happened to pa.s.s, so I bought them and transferred the brandy from the cask into them.

「N? What’s that?」

「Tak.u.mi-san, this is?」

「It’s alcohol. I think it probably is a rare one but」

「What!? A rare alcohol! Let’s drink it at once」

When I conveyed that it’s a rare alcohol, Wald-sama rejoiced and immediately picked up the bottle and poured the brandy into gla.s.ses.

「What a beautiful color. It’s similar to the ale but…… it’s something different, isn’t it? The fragrance is different」

「That’s right. I haven’t smelled such fragrance before」

「This is an alcohol called brandy」

「I have never heard of it」

「Yeah」

Judging by the reaction, as I thought, brandy is not an alcohol that appears on the market.

「So good」

「This is quite strong alcohol, isn’t it?」

「Indeed」

The four of us promptly drank the brandy, but drinking it straight is indeed intense. I wish I had prepared ice~

However, it seems it suited their tastes, so the reaction was quite favorable.

「This alcohol might be too strong to drink as is. This is an alcohol that drinks little by little after diluting it with water or putting in ice」
