Shomin no Aji - Chapter 591.2
🕑 Added 2024-04-16 06:03:16 +0000 UTCI-I’ve done it now–!?
I'll keep it a secret that I made them help with the preparation and cleanup just to have them eat. You see, it's for the honor of both my Oniisama and the Prince, yeah.
Let's keep it between us. It's not like I want to avoid being seen as disrespectful or anything.
It's for the honor of those two!
"Even last night's menu featured dishes made with Lars, and Prince Raymond enjoyed it so much that he competed with my contracted Sacred Beasts for seconds."
"Eh... with the Sacred Beasts!?”
There we go, she seems surprised.
I made a solid appeal by emphasizing how delicious it is, to even compete with the Sacred Beasts for food.
"Calling me the Repulsive food eating young lady is an act of disparaging the Prince, who praised my cooking as delicious... It wouldn't be unreasonable to interpret it as disrespectful, would it?"
Alright, that should do it!
It's like borrowing the power of a tiger to fend off a fox; I will forgive the rudeness of the Prince calling me the "Repulsive food eating young lady" upon our first meeting with this.
"W-What?! D-Disrespectful? I-I never meant...!"
The senior young ladies trembled with pale faces.
"Oh, I was advised by someone that consuming Lars from now on would be akin to greedily eating livestock feed, so perhaps it would be best to stop offering it to the Prince? Oh, by the way, may I have your name?"
With a cheerful smile as I stepped forward and asked, the senior young ladies flinched and retreated to keep their distance from me.
"Eek! Th-that's... that won't be necessary at all! If it's delicious, please feel free to enjoy it as much as you like! Oh, I'll be late for class! I-I must excuse myself!"
"W-Wait, your name..."
"I-I'm nobody worth mentioning!"
Despite my attempt to stop her, she disappeared around the corner of the hallway in the blink of an eye.
"She... she's gone."
I shrugged my shoulders and turned back, only to find everyone looking at me with blank expressions.
Uh, what's with that reaction?
"Alicia-sama, are you alright?"
First things first, I need to make sure Alicia-sama is okay.
"Y-Yes, I'm fine..."
"Thank goodness!"
"Um, Christea-sama, are you okay?"
"Huh?"
What about? I handled it perfectly, and I'm completely unscathed.
Plus, now that people know the Prince has been eating Lars... rice, there shouldn't be any more teasing about being a Repulsive food eating young lady, right?
Isn't that a big success?
As I said that, Mariel-chan looked at me with a troubled expression.
Huh? Did I do something wrong?
"Well, Cristea-san, your statement just now could be interpreted as suggesting a rather intimate relationship, implying that you're close enough to invite the Prince to dinner and serve him your home-cooked meals..."
"Huh?"
Wait, what? Eh? Hold on a second?
"I-I didn't mean it like that..."
"Even if you didn't mean to, it certainly sounded that way. Well... I understand it was because of the misunderstanding from yesterday, so I will trust you, Cristea-sama."
Alicia-sama said with a somewhat exasperated tone.
To think I made such a misleading statement today after yesterday's misunderstanding... Alicia-sama is so kind!
"... Could it be that it was an indiscreet remark?"
"Yes, it seems so."
Alicia-sama and Mariel-chan nodded with serious expressions.
Oh no, did I mess up big time–?!
