My Engagement Was Annulled (lol) - Chapter 30

Grandpa Tom with a grim face followed the cheerful me.
We went straight to the kitchen.
The time should be before the practice, so it should go well! I think

Yes, we have arrived.
However, the chefs at the kitchens side entrance(?), rear entrance(?), were chit-chatting while looking at me.

Shut your mouths! Why are you so noisy!

Whoops, Head Chef shouted the moment he entered from the doorway~
When he turned his head, yes, he met my eyes~

Ojou! -sama, why are you here?

I have a request for Head Chef, may I?

Thats right, Head Chef usually calls me Ojou doesnt he!

Haah

Hmm? Why is he getting vigilant? Well, lets not mind it!

I want you to boil the potatoes Grandpa Tom is carrying. Of course, after washing them clean and peeling off the skin

When he heart potatoes, his eyebrows drew near.
Is that a no?

Aint these poisonous plants, Ojou -sama, are you being serious?

Hes hesitating! Alright, one more push!

Actually, only the part that is above the ground cant be eaten. The tuber below the ground is edible. But, the tubers must be handled carefully too. It is poisonous if its still green. These have been freshly dug up and have no green parts anywhere. All thats left is this sprout part they have poison too, so they must be removed. I wont tell you to eat it as Im fine eating it by myself, so please boil it for me

Head Chef looked at me with a bitter face.

Just boil?

He yielded! Lets ride the wave and instruct him on how to cook it! Lets do that!

No. How about I instruct you, can you follow my instructions?

He was reluctant, but I saw interest coming from his gaze.

Got it. Ojou -sama, welcome to our sanctuary

He respectfully bowed and opened the door.
Grandpa Tom and I stepped into the kitchen.

Its done~!
I cant get enough of the hot steam!
It looks good after sprinkling it with salt too!
I, Head Chef and Grandpa Tom surrounded the plate with the steamy potato.
Each had a fork before us.
Leaving the two nervous people aside, I picked up a piece of the potatoes with my fork.
So hot~ but so tasty~

Ojou!
Jousama!

You wont control me with your voices, heres my cold shoulder!
Munch!

Ah!
Deli~sh!

Eh? When I unconsciously called out, the two opened their eyes wide.
Nodding at each other, the two got Kofukiimo on their forks

Alright, I will eat it!
Since Jousama ate it, I will too!

Saying such, the two made up their minds and each ate a fork-full.
