Dinner of Garigarikuu Steak and Ikarun Soup
“Now then, Young Master Kaito, before dinner, let us head to the bath.”
Huh? I just had one though?
“Milady instructed that you are to be bathed before being brought to dinner.”
“Huh? I already went in.”
Wait, why? Do I smell? Am I stinky?
Sniff sniff. Oh no, what is this?!
The smell of Ikarun, Garigarikuu, and meat all mixed together, stinks!
Short version: squid-stink. Ah, not that one yet.
Anyway, all kinds of smells have stuck to me!
“Got it, Marle, please.”
And for some reason, they washed me very thoroughly.
Twice, even… my whole body. Do I really smell that bad?
After a shower and getting my hair dried, I felt refreshed and headed to the dining hall.
Tonight’s dinner is the new Ikarun Ink Soup and Garigarikuu steak. Can’t wait♡
Alright, I’m sitting in my usual chair.
I don’t use the Kai-chair at the table anymore.
Ari will probably graduate from it soon too.
“Now then, the whole family is here. Today, let us all enjoy the new dish Kaito has made.”
“Then, I shall prepare it.”
Yeah, Sebas being serious is nice… cool, smooth movements.
“Well then, Kaito.”
“Yes, Papa.”
“Explain the dishes.”
“Understood. Then I’ll start with the new miso soup.”
Papa, Ari, and Mama… they’re all frozen.
“This is a new miso soup. Tender Ikarun and pork are simmered until soft, then a little miso and salt are added, and finally Ikarun ink is mixed in.”
“… This? You can eat this?”
Papa, don’t make such a disgusted face.
What? Disappointed? It’s fine, just try it.
“It’s okay. The Goddess of Ikaruda taught me, it’s delicious. The Ikarun flavor is rich, packed full of tastiness. I know it looks surprising since it’s black, but just try drinking it, please!”
“““……”””
“Alright, I’ll try it first. Gulp.
(What…?! This is incredible. I don’t usually like seafood, but prepared like this… it’s this good?! The fish soup was nice, but this is rich and delicious too! Kaito… I’m glad you’re my son.)
Yeah, it’s good. Beneath the rich Ikarun flavor, there’s the sweetness of the miso and the depth of the ink, quite a complex and flavorful taste.”
Whoa, Papa can actually sound serious when he wants to.
But still, Mama and Ari aren’t eating?
“Just a little…”
“Just one bite…”
Maybe they don’t like it?
Ari~ your mouth’s all black.
Mama’s silent… what does that silence mean?
Hey, hey, is it good?
“Ari thinks this is yuck!!!
Onii~chama, sowwy, I don’t want any more!”
I see… didn’t work for them, huh. Can’t be helped, tastes differ. What a shame!
“Mama?”
Hmm? What’s wrong, Mama?
“Is it good?” …“Mm?”
She’s opening and closing her hand in front of her mouth and waving it?
Huh? What? What? I’ll translate.
Yeah yeah, you can’t talk because of the blackened teeth?
“Mama says… huh? She doesn’t want Garigarikuu steak~”
“That’s not it, Kai-kun. I do want that.”
Tch, I was gonna eat yours too… so that’s not it? What a shame.
“Oh really?”
“Hey, your mouth’s black… pfft”
“Mama, your mouth’s all black!”
“And yours is exactly the same.”
“““““Pfft!”””””
Ahahaha, this is hilarious.
Everyone burst out laughing.
“Ahahaha!” “Ufufufu” “Kyahaha~”
Looking around, everyone nearby was smiling.
Yeah… yeah… ahh, this is happiness.
