How Nobles Sit, and Fish Bones Make Fertilizer
“Sorry to keep you waiting, Kai-kun. Now then, let’s sit down on the chairs!”
“Yes, Mama.”
Mama casually handed the hibiscus vase to a maid.
The hibiscus was bright red, with small jagged leaves.
Since Mama has silvery-white hair, I think that little bit of red hibiscus in the middle of all that white suits her really well.
The word delicate fits perfectly!
She put both legs together gracefully, tilted them slightly to the right, and pulled her feet back just a little. Yep, that’s the noble-style sitting posture. I’ll copy it too.
Of course, I sat right next to Mama.
“Oh my, Kai-kun, you sat down very nicely.”
“Yep, I copied Mama.” Grin.
Ahh, Mama? And you guys behind her.
Your eyes have turned into hearts again~
(We got to see Young Master Kaito’s adorable visage again today. Happiness! ♡♡)
(He’s copying his mother, isn’t he? Acting a little prim… I love that about him too. ♡♡)
(((However…)))
Hm? Mama… everyone… what’s wrong?
Those faces, confused? Troubled?
“Hey, Kai-kun… the way you just sat down… you were copying Mama, right?”
“Yep. Did I do it well?”
“Kai-kun, you did sit very gracefully… very nicely… But.”
Hm? “But?”
“That’s the way girls sit.”
Huh? Wait, is that embarrassing?
Did I mess up? Ehh, I’m a boy.
That’s a little embarrassing. Heh.
So that sitting posture was the noble girl sitting style?!
I’m getting all kinds of education, but sitting posture… huh? I think I did learn that before. I’d better review it.
“Really? Then how should boys sit?”
If you don’t ask, you’ll regret it forever!
“Keep your legs together, but don’t tilt them. Put the soles of your feet properly on the ground, and place both hands on your knees.”
I straightened my posture just like she said.
“Young Master Kaito, we’ll review sitting posture again later.”
“Yes, Marle, please teach me again.”
Acting like a four-year-old? Pretending I didn’t quite remember
Maybe back then I was thinking about something else.
Marle went through the trouble of teaching me, so next time I’ll remember it properly. Sorry.
“Yes, understood. It’s difficult to remember everything in one go. I’ll teach you as many times as it takes until you remember.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Marle is so kind. I love her.
“Well then, Kai-kun! You said fish bones can become fertilizer, could you explain it in detail?”
“Yeah, sure. Umm… the Goddess of Ikaruda told me in a dream.”
“Yes, yes, and then?”
“Well, while fish are alive, they get lots and lots of nutrients from the sea. And those nutrients are in the bones too. So you shouldn’t throw the bones away.”
“Yes, yes, I see. Mama learned something today too. So then, how do the bones become fertilizer? Can you tell me how to make it?”
“Yeah, sure. Umm… you dry them, then crush them into tiny pieces, and mix them into the soil.”
“I see. So you dry them, crush the bones into powder, and mix them into the soil?”
“Yep, that’s right.”
“I wonder how long they should be dried, and how much should be mixed into the soil?”
Uh… that one… we’ll probably just have to test little by little.
“Maybe… mix in a little bit at a time~”
“Yes, we’ll have to test it patiently. Oh, we can’t waste time. There are so many things to try.”
Mama crossed her arms and started thinking.
Then she raised her right arm and rested her finger on her chin.
That’s… The Thinker, isn’t it?
I copied the same pose.
Because, you know, The Thinker kind of looks really smart, right?
“Hey, wait a second… that’s too cute.”
“Really, really, I could watch him forever… A goddess and an angel? Right? That must be it. No, it definitely is!”
“Ahhh… Young Master Kaito copying Milady and making the exact same pose… what is this? What is this?! Ah, no… he’s too cute… it hurts… I’m going to die.”
Hey, you guys over there.
What are you whispering about?!
What do you think about this chapter?
