Fluffy Kaito Isn’t a Fan of Orc Meat
Ughhh, it’s so cooooold…
Seriously cold. What is this, a freezer?
What? I’m going to freeze solid.
“Young Master, shall we have you put this on?”
What Sebas held out was a fluffy, fuzzy gown-like thing made from some kind of hide. And the cord tied around my waist was some kind of leather strap too!
Warm~! With this, I’m not cold at all.
“Sebas, thank you. It’s warm.”
“I am pleased to hear that. This land does not see snow and remains warm year-round, so such winter clothing is unnecessary under normal circumstances. However, since Young Master said he wished to see the food storage, Master ordered that a gown be made for you. We could not take proper measures against the cold until it was finished, so this is the completed gown at last. My apologies for the wait.”
“I have to tell Papa thank you.”
Grin.
“Ugh~ Young Master’s cuteness~ ungh, I cannot bear it.”
Sebas, your eyes are hearts again. Seriously. I’m done. Ignoring you.
… Hey, you there. Gordon, you too?!
“Sebas, show me around.”
“Certainly. Then, without further ado.”
“This here is kokko meat.”
Kokko… wait, is that chicken?!
Yes! I pumped my fist.
“Young Master, what is that pose? Ah, would you like to hold it? It may still be too heavy for you.”
“I can’t hold it yet?”
“Yes. It would be troublesome if you dropped it, so let us refrain for now.”
“Okay. Then what’s that meat?”
“This is orc meat.”
Orc? There are orcs? Humanoid bodies with pig faces, that kind of monster, right? Humanoid is a no-go!
“This is extremely delicious, you see.”
Eh~ delicious? Seriously?
“Yes. Young Master, it is about time you begin eating meat, is it not? Until now, it has all been minced or unshaped preparations. It is Master’s favorite. Therefore, we procure it regularly. You see, everything in this area is orc meat.”
“Yeah, got it. Let’s go to the next one.”
The moment I learned that the hanging meat was orc meat, as a former Earthling, moreover, a former Japanese person, I felt a chill run down my spine and decided to leave as quickly as possible.
Ugh~ don’t throw up. I’m fine!
“Now then, Young Master, let us proceed to the next storeroom.”
Did he notice I was feeling a little sick? As expected of Sebas.
Once outside, I let out a long breath.
Gotta change the mood, or Sebas and Gordon will start worrying.
“Don’t you have pork or beef?”
“We do indeed. Young Master Kaito, you knew of pork and beef? How clever.”
“Yeah. When I said I was going to the food storage, Mawle told me lots of things, so I learned. Pwetty amazing, right? I’m amazing, wight?”
“Yes, Young Master Kaito is very wise. The Marsh family’s future is secure.”
Smiling, eyes narrowing warmly, Sebas gently patted my head.
Normally, it might be considered disrespectful for a steward to pat the head of the heir he serves.
But it’s fine. Today, Sebas was my teacher, showing me the ingredients of this world.
Right! That’s how I have to think about it.
For some reason, I felt a sense of danger and subtly covered my backside so Sebas wouldn’t notice.
“My? Young Master? Is something the matter? Perhaps you wish to pick some flowers?”
“No!”
What do you think about this chapter?
