“For starters, here’s the cloth we raked up yesterday. We’ll get the rest as soon as I can, so please give us some time.”
“Thank you. I will bring you the other half later too.”
We loaded the large amount of cloth we had received from Mr. Nooti onto the cart and headed home.
For now, we would have to ask Lydia to come and help us clear the road next time.
However, unlike the ironware, the cloth was light, so we were able to return to the east house somewhat faster than when we came.
I told Sophie, who had pulled the cart for us, that we were going to take a break, and when we all entered the house…
“Mr. Alex! Welcome home!”
“My Husband! Welcome home!”
Lydia, Meilin, and Nina greeted me.
“Big brother! I missed you!”
“Sir Alex …… Please, give me that thing!”
Nora and Fiine hugged me without question.
Nora jumped up and charged into my upper body, while Fiine charged into my lower body …… wait, we can’t do that now!
“Ms. Fiine. Mr. Alex is tired and it’s a little early for lunch, but let’s have lunch first.”
“Sir Alex. Fiine can’t stand it anymore.”
“Fiine? What’s wrong? What can’t you stand anymore?”
Lydia tries to stop Fiine, but that doesn’t stop her, and Nora is wondering why.
In the midst of all this…
“I’m sorry I’m late. The medicine is ready …… A-Alex-han! W-Welcome back! Y-You’re back early!”
Rei showed up …… Did she just hide something?
It would be nice if you make a useful drug, but please don’t make any more energy drink as you did before, okay?
But more importantly, I should think about what should we do with Fiine for now.
She has the blood of a succubus, so it is inevitable that she desires that. It can’t be helped, but we have Nora, Sophie, Yudit, and even Rei right now.
If she could put them all to sleep with her skill, I would be happy to play with her, but she doesn’t seem to have the luxury of noticing it.
Then …… Lydia comes up to Fiine, who is rubbing her cheeks against my pants.
I overheard something in a whisper.
I heard a little, but I had no idea what she was talking about.
“Come on, everyone. Lunch is ready. This way, please.”
Lydia’s words made Feine leave me and went to the dining room.
What? What in the world did Lydia say to make Fiine leave me in that state ……?
But to replace Fiine separating from me, Nina hugged me …… but it was just a normal hug, so I held Nora and Nina in my arms and went straight to the dining room.
We take our seats, thinking that I can do this because they are both petite.
“Thank you for the food.”
For lunch, we had pasta, salad, and soup made by Lydia.
Let’s start with the salad …… Yes, it’s delicious.
The salad served at the Lizardman’s Village was one where you could enjoy the flavor of the ingredients, but this one has dressings that enhances the flavor even more.
Next is pasta …… What? Lydia, Meilin, Fiine, and Rei keep staring at me.
Lydia is curious about my reaction because she’s the one who cooked it, and I’m sure Fiine wants …… that as soon as possible, but what’s up with Meilin and Rei?
“…… Meilin. Why are you staring at me so hard?”
“What!? I, I was just …… well, you know, Husband was just eating the meal so deliciously, so I was inadvertently…”
I looked from Meilin to Rei…
“T-That’s right. Well, just looking at the way you were eating the pasta, and even though it’s the same pasta, it looked more delicious to me.”
“Is that so? Then, I haven’t even touched this pasta yet, so I’ll trade with you.”
“What!? W-Wait. Alex-han! That’s not what I meant …… A-Aaahhhhh!”
Rei looked like she wanted trade with my pasta, so I replaced the whole plate.
Yeah …… Lydia’s pasta is delicious!
“What’s the matter, Rei? You’re not eating?”
“Oh, um, my appetite suddenly ……”
I became concerned about Rei’s sudden paleness and…
“Then, shall I eat that pasta? It would be a waste, after all.”
“Nora-han!? N-No! I …… I’ll eat it! I’ll take responsibility for eating it!”
Rei, with tears in her eyes, finished the pasta in one go.
…… Rei, are you sure you’re okay?
