When Lawrence goes to prepare some tea, the rest of the 3 people, Father, Mother and Uncle Sauvell are sitting on the opposite of me.
Lawrence: “It’s not a conversation that should be done in front of a child. Let’s talk about this matter later… Here, please have some sweets. “
Lawrence puts a lot of sweet treats in front of me, and when the rest of the people see this, they give a wry smile. It’s a plain evident that these various sweets are privately served for me by Lawrence’s insistence. However, I do not realize his special treatment for me at the moment. In the meantime, I’m trembling while being overly excited because this is my first time to see the sweet treats in this world.
In this world, the cuisine culture is not really well developed. Many of the sweet treats here are unsophisticated. The staple food of Tenmark country is wheat and bread. The sweet delicacies are not well developed, and it resembles the middle age cuisine on the Earth. Sweets are often baked for celebrations or other occasions. The only place you can eat it are at the church or the noble houses. The sweets are very simple, it is mainly made from wheat flour with eggs and cheese. Then, a little bit of some condiments are added to it.
The sweets in front of me, resemble Galette des Rois with a round shape. Galettes usually come in various shapes. Some come as cookies, bretonne or bretagne style. Bretagne is a sweet which inspires crepes. Bretagne is famous for the round thin grilled dough like a crepe. Inside the dough, there is egg, ham, bacon, and cheese. Then the four sides of the crepe would be folded in a shape of rectangle to contains those ingredients.
Lawrence cut a slice of the Galette and put it in front of me. The slice of the Galette shines brightly in front of my eyes. Since my reincarnation, I have never eaten any sweets. The main reason for this is because a spirit does not need to eat. However, because I have human blood inside of me, I need to eat food just a little bit. Needless to say, Father also needs to eat. The spirits usually suck a little bit of flower's nectars or eat some fruits as a meal. But they only eat very little. In our case, both Father and I need to eat some food to some extent. Sometimes we go to the human realm to eat some food.
It seems that my eyes are glistening so brightly in front of the sweets. When I notice my surroundings, the rest of the adults are smiling while looking at me. It brings me back to reality.
Oh no, I arbitrarily become convinced that this is a test from Grandma to see if I will act as I please without manner. Then I correct my sitting posture. Right now, I have to show that I have no whatever interest in sweets.
………It might be too late to do that now.
Mother asks while she tilts her head, “Oh my, suddenly you become a prim person. What’s wrong?”
When Grandma realizes my sudden change of attitude, she encourages me to eat, “It’s fine. You can eat everything.”
After seeing Isabella sipping her tea, I grab a fork with my hand. When Lawrence sees me like that, he is impressed while mutters, “As expected of Lady Ellen.”
Isabella: “Is the table manner in the spirit realm is the same as human?”
Origin: “No at all~, Spirit barely eats at all, so there is no such thing as table manner. We don’t even eat in a group together. Did you teach her, my dear?”
When mother asks Father, he replies, ‘I didn’t teach her.’
While the adults are having those conversations without me knowing it, I finally taste the first sweet in this world.
(It’s delicious!!)
I’m happy that sugar exists. This galette has so many layers like a croissant. When you bite it, the simple sweetness spreads out inside the mouth. While I am enjoying the delightful bites inside my mouth, I realize that all the adults around me are paying their attention to me. My face turns pale and I become panic when I see them watching me like that.
Isabella: “Haa………So cuteee. I cannot even imagine that her way of eating would be this adorable…”
Why did she say with that sparkling face!? I’m totally surprised.
(No no no, it’s because a child’s mouth is small!!)
It seems that in the eyes of Isabella and Lawrence, my panic expression is really charming. They are squealing like being in total lovestruck. Sometimes Father also likes to wear the same expression as them. This might be a particular trait that belongs to this family.
Isabella: “Dear Ellen, say a~h”
Isabella offers a piece of the cake with a fork to me. Consequently, I open my mouth. When I do that, she begins to shrill with a high pitch voice, “Kyaaa~! So Cuuuteee~!”
Rovel: “Mother, it’s nice of you to feed her like that, but if you keep continuing like that, she won’t be able to eat dinner. Both Ellen and I don’t eat that much.”
Isabella: “What!?”
At the same time, I am about to close my mouth to eat the cake from the fork when Isabella instantly draws the fork away from me.
Ellen: “……………”
Isabella: “……………”
I really do not expect that she would hold the fork away from me, so I instinctively become totally dejected right away. Then, Isabella faints in agony when she sees my reaction.
Isabella: “Aaaaa I’m so sorryyy my dear Ellen! But depressed Ellen dear is so adorableee!!”
Father, Mother and even Sauvell are laughing out loud at the incident. Lawrence, on the other hand, always smile no matter what I did. He is still in the ‘dere’ (lovestruck) mode.
Rovel: “Well, let’s move on………What are you planning to do next? Should I help with the business? If it’s possible, I would like to refrain from the knight business. “
Sauvell: “Elder Brother, are you really going to help!?”
Sauvell instantly jumps into Rovel’s words.
Rovel: “I can’t live here because of Ori and Ellen. I’m planning to go back to the spirit realm.”
Isabella: “Oh my, Rovel, all of you are not planning to stay here?”
