That was the sight I saw on my way home from finishing my job as an auditor at the Department of Defense.
I see a face in the hallway of the royal castle. That was Raini. Across the street from Raini stood a man, looking at each other like we were in trouble.
âRaini?â
âAh, Master Anis.â
âThis is Her Royal Highness the King.â
Raini, voiced, gives a gentle thank you, and the man standing opposite him gives a deep thank you. Raini is a samurai outfit, and the man dressed as⊠a cook?
You saw it in another rare combination, and I speak up.
âHe looked like he was in some kind of trouble, but something happened?
âNo, itâs not important⊠I was hoping to ask Lady Raini for her feedback.â
The cook man scratches his head like he has trouble with what to say. Long, limp, fleshy, lean, etc. To stay out of the way, the hair is pulled back and tied like a tail.
Amethyst-colored eyes shake left and right at the lack of location, and slight tone of tension can be felt. But I donât get the impression that Iâm scared, so I think youâre simply concerned about me in the royal family.
âMr. Nair. Ask Anis what he thinks at this time.â
âHuh? Are you sure, I feel terribleâŠâ
Raini tried to get me involved. Then the cook man, called Nair, is anxiously shaking his shoulder. My gaze at you and me looked very troubled.
âItâs not important, but I think Raini should solve the problem?
â⊠right. When I hear about Mr. Nairâs work environment, I think Iâd better do something about it.â
âHuh. I wish I could take a seat somewhere. Was that Nair? Youâre a royal cook, arenât you? Do you have a break room, a refrain room, somewhere free?
âTo invite Her Royal Highness Sister WangâŠâ
âFine, never mind. You suddenly have trouble being taken to a salon or something, donât you?
â⊠rightâ
Speaking with the salon, Nair let him shake his neck left and right with a bitter smile. Because it doesnât feel like nobility to see. You have trouble getting something taken to the salon, donât you?
It seemed a little awkward, but Nairâs guide led us to the cooksâ quarters. There are other people taking breaks, and when you see me, you turn your gaze at me.
âOh, you donât have to take a seat. I donât even want to thank you. Sorry to bother you.â
âAnd, but⊠hey, Nair! You, what have you done!
âYes, no, if I had consulted Lady Raini on an example, I would have asked Her Royal Highness Sister Wang for her opinionâŠâ
âNo, well, maybe so⊠but thatâs why I canât believe I called the royal family into such a modest roomâ
âI donât careâŠ. Well, Iâll explain it well around, so I donât blame you guys for anything.â
I donât have to explain it to you. I think you can do it. And thereâs Raini as an explanator, and weâll get Raini to do something about it.
âSo? What was Nair talking to Raini about?
âThat explains from me, doesnât it? Mr. Nair would like a supplement.â
âYes, sirâ
âDear Anis, as you can see, Mr. Nair keeps the kitchen of the Royal Palace, but the cooks have had common problems lately and there is no way to solve them. I have a feeling too, so I was wondering if I could help.â
âHmm? But itâs not important, is it?
âYep. But I think itâs a pretty big problem for the cooks.â
âWhatâs the problem?
Itâs about your meal, Mr. Uphilia.
âUffiâs meal?
I didnât think the center of the problem was Uffi. I turned my eyes round. Huh? I donât have the impression that Uffi is having any problems with the meal.
A little confused. You understood my signs, Raini smiled bitterly and scratched her cheek.
âNothing. Thatâs not why Master Uphilia is having eclampsia or leaving a meal behind. Instead, they eat exactly what they serve.â
âSo whatâs the problem?
â⊠whatever you serve wonât change your reaction, Your Majesty.â
Nair groans as he drops his shoulder disappointingly. Other people who listened to us are dropping their shoulders, trying to follow the depressed Nair as much as they can.
Hmm? That whatever dish you serve to Uffi wonât change your reaction? You think thatâs a serious enough problem to talk to Raini?
âItâs only a concern from the cookâs side that Her Majesty has nothing to do with itâŠâ
âYou can eat without leaving a mealâŠâ
âI can tell you it was delicious properly, and you can work for itâŠâ
âI donât know what Her Majesty prefers.â
âUffiâs food preference?
When one begins to speak, he speaks blurry troubles as if he were going to hitch a ride around as well. I had my eyes set on the content.
âYep⊠so, um, weâre both very concerned about dedication⊠not to mention the minor problem of moving to the Kingsguard Knights dining room where we want some people reassignedâŠâ
âMr. Nair also originally worked in the Cavaliersâ Dining Room, but a change of placement meant he was in charge of Mr. Uphiliaâs meal.â
âAs good as it gets? Um, so the problem with the cooks is that they donât know what Uffiâs dietary preferences are, and they donât know what to serve, and Uffi doesnât complain at all, so on the contrary, thatâs what pressure feels like and the work environment isnât good?
âIâm ashamedâŠâ
He is scratching the back of his head with a face like the nail is impudent. It wasnât just Nair, the other cooks had the same face.
But itâs Yufiâs meal⊠This leans my neck a bit, even for me.
â⊠I thought it was the effect of becoming a spiritual contractorâ
Uffi is a spiritual contractor. The sensibility is closer to the Spirit than it is to a personâs. I thought I was living my daily life unharmed because I was Ufi who originally had a sensitivity close to the Spirit, but do these fine distortions come up?
Originally, Uffi is also a character who does not act as a standard for his likes and dislikes. If you can eat it, think thatâs good or something. Right. I donât think Iâm going to eat this because I donât like it when itâs served.
But that makes you unhappy or anxious from the side that serves the food. Thatâs what a king of a country speaks of. They should be more aware of the gravity of their responsibilities than anyone else.
âI canât ask directly from the cooks, and Iâm a little concerned tooâŠâ
âI donât think Ilia cares about thatâ
Raini also thinned, saying he was concerned about Yufiâs low interest in food.
Hey, should we do something about this? But itâs not the same thing to tell me to eat itâŠ
âIf I said I could talk to him at a time like this, would he be the only one?â
âLumi, it was just fine!
A corner of the garden that your father manages. When I even went out to the square for the tea party, I found Lyumi sitting in a chair lazily.
Lyumi has accompanied us from the Black Forest before staying as a guest. That said, I just got a room, and I usually disappear freely and donât know what Iâm doing.
The corner of Fatherâs garden was one of the spots where Lhumi often surrendered, and there was a person he was looking for when he visited and saw it at no good source.
âOh, Anis. Still busy. How are you?
âBecause energy is the handle. So thereâs something Iâd like to ask you?
âWhat do you want to hear?
âIâd like to ask you about the spiritual contractorâs dietary situation.â
I ask Lyumi as he sits down in the opposite seat of Lyumi. Lyumi opens her eyes just a little, and then she looks at me surprised to narrow her eyes.

âWhat kind of blow? Not that Iâm stingy⊠but are you finally going to be aggressive?
âHuh?â
âHmm?
â⊠Iâm a spiritual contractor, and thatâs what I wanted to hear about my dietary preferences, my appetite,â
âOh, not about the secret of love with the queen?
âChitty, chitty, chitty! O, donât burn the extra care!
Thatâs not what I meant by âmealâ! No, I know that eating my magic is more nutritional than anything else for Uffi, but itâs not, because itâs notâŠ!
I feel bright red at once. Keep my cheeks down and breathe. He had a grin that reminded him of a cat if he looked back in front of him. This ancestor really has a bad personality!
âYes, sir. So, about the meal? Why are you doing that again?
âActuallyâŠâ
I explain to Lhumi the current situation of Uffi and the concerns of the cooks as I chew up the content to Lhumi. Llumi, who had returned his careless gavel while sitting idly, but by the time we finished talking, he had corrected his posture.
âAs long as itâs done, I know whatâs going on.â
âI knew if I became a spiritual contractor, would it affect my appetite or something?
âI will, whatâs in my soul is the spirit. There will be enough appetite to maintain the flesh, which is a vessel, but the desire to eat that, the desire to eat this, will be about a hobby. Neither do I.â
âOh wellâŠâ
Does it make a difference in senses from normal people after all? Even with appetite, it is magic to consume it as food for the Spirit. Food is only a vessel, a nutritional intake to maintain the flesh.
âIf youâre thinking of maintaining your flesh, youâll still be fine. Maintaining the flesh will be a hundred million robberies, and if you throw away the flesh, it will clear up and join the Great Spirit.â
âWhat about Rhumi?
âIâm pretty corrupt stuff. You like it? Human food. Anything from gastronomy to ghetto.â
âBut itâs just a hobby.â
âThatâs rightâŠ. Although I may not receive and feel the same way as Ufi because I have never been raised as a legitimate person. That kidâs something similar, but still would be better than me. I just canât shake the fact that itâs magic that feeds the Spirit. That is no exception even for spiritual contractors. We would be satisfied if we had magic. A normal diet is just a nutritional intake or a hobby.â
Mmm⊠I knew it. Then it may be difficult to feed Yufi his favorite dish.
For the Spirit Contractor, a normal diet is not required more than the maintenance of the flesh. The Spirit is inherently thinner as a desire because it has no flesh. As long as you have the magic power, as long as you have enough nutrition to maintain your flesh, you wonât even care.
Even if thatâs what it is, Uffi is the queen. Itâs complicated for a cook not to suddenly make a meal into a substance or something elaborate. And when the queen takes the initiative and refrains from eating, I canât even say that it doesnât affect her surroundings either.
Itâs a big deal, but it could also be the beginning of the abolition of the culture of cooking because Uffi doesnât stick to cooking. I donât think appetite can be obsolete because itâs the three greatest cravings of people, so itâs only enough to be cut off.
Anyway, I want to lay low on the side where there will be extra pursuits. Itâs hard to leave this one case alone where Ufiâs governance is stabilizing but could spread Ufiâs anomaly.
âItâs not good if youâre having fun as a hobby. Which way does it take to maintain the body?â
âUm, Iâll just ask Yufi. I might ask you to talk to me again, but then, please, Lumi.â
âYes, sir. You can thank me with magic.â
Peeling, and tongue-in-cheek, Lumi stroking her lips to look as if she were inviting something. I realized what that meant. I bluffed and turned my back. Your ancestors, maybe youâre joking, but weigh yourself in!
âWhatâs Yufi, your favorite food or something?
âYes?â
After finishing the Queenâs affairs and returning to the House, I decided to ask Yufi, who was exhaling. It was at the edge of my sight that I saw Raini reacting and listening.
Yufi had blinked her eyes properly at my inquiry, but she puts her hands on her mouth as if something were bothering her.
âEspecially when it comes to thisâ
â⊠meat, fish, see, you got something, right? I like this flavour â or I hate it the other way around.â
âIs it your dietary preference⊠what you make into a common manâs mouth didnât fit your mouth very well. Like the dishes served at the stall of your patience. It was fresh, so I guess Iâm just not used to eating it rather than simply liking it or not.â
âOh, that happened⊠well, then you donât usually eat this because you think itâs delicious?
â⊠you werenât very conscious. We all thought it would be the same if we ate it. But itâs necessary to appreciate the flavour, so it doesnât mean you havenât tasted it and eaten it.â
No, no, maybe Iâm not wrong, but Iâm not. There was a place where Yufi was natural and uneven, but even in places like this, I would show off that kind of natural!?
âMeals are fun stuff, right?
â⊠if the magic of AnisâŠâ
âHuh! Huh! Ordinary meal!
The Spirit Contractor is this, so already!
â⊠Iâm so worried about my meal. From a standpoint, the possibility of poison cannot be discarded.â
My lips bend over to Yufi, who replies somewhere in trouble. This could be more problematic than I thought?
But itâs not like Iâm wasting ingredients, and it doesnât seem like the flavor matters because he said he could have a taste reputation or anything.
You mean you simply donât feel the joy of eating? Iâm eating because itâs an awesome obligation, and I feel like Iâm hissing the air. This is definitely not just because Iâm a spiritual contractorâŠâŠ
