Masho no Otoko wo Mezashimasu - 254 Dinner.

A delightful meal is served in front of you. White rice cooked fluffy and shiny. A bowl containing a large sea bream in a soup that works well with kelp and bonito. The taste is stained, and you can feel the strong flavor of the Chikuzen stew. A small bowl made from carrots, beef burdock, Edamame beans, lotus root, etc., and wrapped in a cancerous rice cake. The main beef was sukiyaki, and the flavour of the meat spreads to the mouth.

The dinner I had at Donghua Inn was already delicious. Even though it’s a dish that uses the best of the cook, you don’t have to eat it out if you’re eating it normally. I’ve had more chance to taste fine food here, but it was a wonderful dish…. well, I’m both a guard and a man who eats delicious food. This is this, that’s what it says.

But I don’t know what this air is, but I feel nervous in the cafeteria even though I’m tasting some delicious food. Shouldn’t Shino-san and Toyona-san relax when they say this? However, Shino-san’s attitude when she was talking in the room lurked, and now she is eating dinner in a gentle manner. As for Mr. Toyomato, he is the one who is creating this tension. I can’t expect anything. I don’t think there will be any punishment for being a little more kind to the customer.

“… was it in your mouth?

“Yes, it’s delicious.”

Answer questions from Toyomato with a spinal reflex…. hypothetically, if it wasn’t delicious, should I be honest?

“Hmm, that’s good. The cook of the house will be delighted to hear that from the talking boy king.”

… I’ve been thinking about it for a while, but this male king’s title is quite convenient. Perhaps it’s the same perception of the Miss Universe that you said in your previous life?

“Let me think about today’s dishes here, but was there anything you disliked?

“Yes, I didn’t hate anything in the first place. They were all delicious.”

“That’s good…. Ah, that’s how I farm fish at one of Donghuain’s companies.”

“Fish?

“It seems like the season is coming soon, and it will arrive here as well. I would also like to hear your opinion. Then I’ll invite you again.”

“Wow! I’m so honored!

That’s what I said with a full smile…. what should I say unexpectedly? I wonder what it feels like to be buried in this outer moat. Everything that is proposed to trouble me will have no disadvantages and only advantages. The only disadvantage is this tension. I feel like I’m being watched.

“Grandfather, Amber has plans, so don’t overdo it.”

“I see… that was bad. If you don’t like it, you can say no….”

I think Shino-san followed me, but I just blocked the escape route. Absolutely on purpose.

“No, please let me join you.”

That’s good.

“Really. I’m excited.”

Toyonagi-san and Shino-san are both laughing nicely. Summer vacation plans are getting filled up in this day…. no, not at all. I’d rather have it than not! For now, it’s a bias to say that it’s all about Donghuain.

“… speaking of which…”

Toyonagi-san placed chopsticks and asked naturally as he remembered looking at me.

“What’s going on with you and the daughter of the Southern Palace and the West China Palace?

Huh?

“Oh, grandfather!

“No, it’s a simple curiosity. Don’t be upset…. but the four houses that drive this country’s economy. More than half of them, including ours, are in one man. Do you still care what happens to them?

“But I can’t believe I asked a man about a woman directly…..”

Shino-san makes a voice of condemnation to Toyona-san…. but I haven’t done anything to trouble you so far. I haven’t, but how sensible is it to say a man who talks about other women, even though he’s cheating on his grandson? I don’t think I’m going in the right direction…. my stomach hurts.

“Especially since… I went to dinner…”

“… well, I’m sorry to ask such a rude question.”

“No”

“Oh, grandfather is a little less delicate!

Shino-san throws words at Funamatsu-san in anger. Taking that, Toyona-san replies with a small smile.

“Cook, I’m a man too, I wonder what kind of romantic situation young people are in these days… don’t be angry.”

“Ugh!

My grandfather and grandson are close to each other.

“Now, I’m going to ask you to excuse me first. Kushino-kun, please eat slowly.”

“Thank you.”

“Hmm, it’s too late. I’ll get you a room so you can stay.”

“Huh?

My voice and that of Shino-san overlapped.
