Meat and potatoes stew and an appropriate digest so far.
For now, Rinka was tired of crying and went to bed, so we decided to discuss the future tomorrow.
“Rosarin, you should sleep with Rinka-san, since you will have a lot to talk about.”
“Thank you, Dirk. Good night.”
“Yes. Good night, Rosarin.”
We kissed each other on the cheek and each went into the guest room of the Wolfanea castle. Rinka woke up after a while and her stomach growled.
“Rin Neechan, I wanna eat meat and potato stew.”
“... Alright. Wait a moment.”
“No, I will help ya.”
Rinka followed me in a good mood. While I was in the kitchen making the meat and potato stew and a stir-fry with her, Curtis showed up.
“Smells yum~”
“You can’t! This is for me! This is my very first meat and potato stew after four years!”
“... Four years?”
“I've been trying to make my meat and potato stew taste similar to yours after you passed away, but I still haven't reached the sublime taste of your meat and potato stew, Rin Neechan! Please don't deprive me of the meat and potato stew I’ve dreamed of for four whole years!”
Curtis looked thoughtful. He looks pained, too.
“............ Alright. Then, share it with me, if you can’t finish it all.”
What a surprise, Curtis retreated.
I don't know if he felt Rinka's passion for meat and potato stew or if he learned compassion, but it seemed that they quickly became friends through meat and potatoes. Before I knew it, we were eating meat and potatoes in good company.
“So yummy!! The best! This is the taste, this is what I wanted to eat!”
“It’s so yum, right…”
She was relaxing with Curtis. The way they were eating together was like they were brother and sister or something.
“Cu-tan, the meat is yum. Eat properly.”
“I will give the potatoes to you, Rinka.”
“”So good~””
It seems that their favorite ingredients are different, and they seem to be coexisting with each other. However, for Curtis to share meat and potato sterw with a stranger? And what's a Cu-tan? What's going on with your communal skills? You get along too quickly. No, is that why Rinka was chosen as the right person for the job?
Just to be sure, I checked Judas-sama’s position. Is he sleeping? He seemed to be in the room next to Jess.
“... Rinka, I have an order for you.”
“Yes!”
“Sedu… ahem, win over the Evil… I mean, win over the personality inside Judas-sama.”
“Okay!...... Wait, eeeeh!?”
Right, this would be her reaction, I knew it…
“No, no. That’s impossible!! That’s impossible for me, no matter how you look at it!! That kind of mission would suit someone like you… a beauty with bouncin’ boobies and killer hips, better, right!? What are you asking me to do, with this branch-looking body of mine!? And although it’s nothing to boast about, my insides are totally rotten!”
“Gyahahahahahaha!”
Curtis exploded into laughter. I wonder what boiling point?
“I have a husband, Dirk, so I can’t do it. He would cry… no, he would have a heart attack. Moreover, I’m generally hated by the Evil.”
“What did you do to ‘em?”
“... A Kabaddi on a traumatic level. They were so traumatized by it that they don’t even show up in my presence.”
“Kabaddi is sports, right!? Just what did you do to cause trauma!? No, wait! Rather than that, Rin Neechan, you are married!? Congratulations, you riajuu, go explode!? Ehhhhhhhh!?”
“Cough, gehhu!!”
Curtis was convulsing from laughing too much. Calm down. Breathe properly.
“Dirk, you say… Dirk-sama!? Huh? He wasn’t wearing a Knight uniform… even though Rin Neechan was reborn as Rosalia? Eh?”
“... Technically, I am mixed with Rosalia, and we live as Rosarin.”
“Okay.”
“We were fused at the age of three.”
“Yeah.”
“I realized I was Rosalia, the bad girl from the Otome game, and I tried to change the future.”
“Rosalia certainly dies a lot. That was given.”
“So, for starters, I befriended my brother, improved my mother's life, improved my father's work situation… and got engaged to Dirk.”
“How old were you then.”
“Three.”
“Seriously… how old are you now?”
“Fourteen.”
“... You don’t look like it at all!! This perfect, nice body is younger than me!? Impossibleeeeeeh!!”
“... That’s the thing you are the most shocked by?”
“Hiiih, hihh…”
Curtis, first of all, breathe. Your complexion is getting terrible, you know?
“And then… Aldin-sama somehow turned shockingly white, Alophage-sama went from black-hearted to pitch-black tsundere… all three assassins turned and became the Royal Knights… Jend avoided the brot*el and the abuse… my brother and Ernst became outdoorsmen… Jasper pretended he was dead and changed his name to Jash and dyed his hair black!”
“All of the capture targets are still in their original form!!”
“Also, Judas-sama is still a Crown Prince, he’s not a King yet.”
“I don’t really care about that part!”
“... N~? You are talking about something that’s too difficult to follow, can I eat the meat and potato stew?”
We were squealing at each other, and Curtis, whose laughter had subsided, tilted his head in puzzlement.
“It’s nothing you shouldn’t hear.”
“That’s right. All’s good.”
“Fine then. Don’t you think it’s time to sleep?”
Certainly, it has gotten quite late. We continued talking while cleaning up the kitchen.
“Let’s call it a day for now, and tomorrow I will talk to you in Christia, Rinka.”
“About what?”
“The true route.”
“...? Rin Neechan, you haven’t cleared it?”
“............ I did not.”
“You said yourself that the true route was interesting.”
“............ Yep.”
“Why did you not clear it!?”
“Because, because I wanted to see more of Dirk-sama!”
“Eh~”
Rinka was stunned. However, she was not dissatisfied to talk about the true route and said she would summarize the main points as much as possible.
“Rosarin.”
“What?”
“Dirk-sama is different from Dirk, right? Are you cheating?”
“I’m not!”
But the explanation about the game was complicated... I explained to Curtis firmly that I was not cheating, and went to sleep, feeling very tired.
What do you think about this chapter?
