Chapter 341: Pretentious Eleonora neesan

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Thanks to me moving the doll using Psychic and Tickle’s voice on the doll, we succeeded in bringing Viscount Dole - who was shutting himself inside the room - to have dinner together with us.

Well, Viscount Dole had been talking so innocently with Gekota so I’m feeling guilty that it looks like I’m deceiving him, but I’m glad Viscount Dole didn’t seem to mind it.

In return, he found out about the magnificence and the potential for the occupation of voice actors, and he once again got fired up but there was nothing I can do about it.

As I enter the dining room with Viscount Dole, everyone except me was already seated.

Come to think of it, I enter the dining room together with Viscount Dole in the end, I wonder if we did a good job entertaining the guest?

No, it looks like Sara informed the others while I was moving the Gekota with Tickle so I guess it’s fine?

I did a good job bringing Viscount Dole out as he was shutting himself in the room. But, it’s difficult to say that in front of the concerned party, Viscount Dole.

As I was troubled over what to say, Viscount Dole - who is beside me - lightly bowed.

「Forgive me for being late. I was too absorbed in my work inside the lounge provided to me, I make ended up causing trouble to Alfried-dono」

O, ooh, he take the initiative to say the things that were difficult for me to say. That’s actually saved me a lot of trouble.

「No, there is no problem. Please, have a seat」

「Excuse me then」

Then Viscount Dole takes a seat on Nord-tousan’s left seat, while I take a seat and take advantage of that moment.

There is the guest - Viscount Dole - here today, so the seating order is a little different from usual.

Usually Sylvio-niisan will sit next to me, but today is Eleonora-neesan. It feels a little unsettling when the person who usually sits in front of you is now sitting next to you.

Moreover, she’s in a false modesty mode and wearing one-piece-like clothes, unlike the usual easy-to-move-in clothes, I guess it’s because we have guests today.

As expected, we are not familiar with him yet like the Sylford family, so I guess Elna-kaasan told her to wear that.

For some reason, when I imagine such a scene in my mind it makes me unconsciously snort.

Immediately after that, Eleonora-neesan quickly moved her hand and pinched my thigh as hard as she could.

「Ow ow ow!」

「Hey, Al. What are you doing」

Elna-kaasan frowns and warns me when I reflexively shout so.

Then, the culprit beside me says,

「Al, are you all right? My leg hit your chair hard just now」

Despite pinching my thigh, what is this sister saying now? However, it’s obvious this is not the time to honestly say what happened.

「U, un, thank you for worrying about me. I’m all right」

Why do I have to thank her despite neesan pinching my thigh? I’m not an extreme ‘M’ who is happy with pain, y’know.

I sat down again while feeling depressed.

「Very well then, bring the food」

「Certainly」

With a bow, Sara opens the door after hearing Nord-tousan’s order.

Immediately after, there were Mina, Mel, and Viscount Dole’s maids standing there with tea wagons as though they had been there and waiting in advance.

Pushing the tea wagons as they made squeaking noises, the maids then start to line up the food on the table.

Spaghetti, karaage, kushiage, steamed vegetables, salad, hamburger, omelet, stew, and all sorts of stuff are laid out. I feel like they tried to serve every dish we can make.

It should be difficult for them to prepare this many dishes.

「Ooh, so this is the famous spaghetti. I had always wanted to try and eat it here, at the spaghetti’s birthplace」

Spaghetti is spread from our territory by Toriella Company after all.

Right now Koryatt village is known as the birthplace of Spaghetti, and it seems like travelers came and ordered spaghetti in Celia-san’s restaurant.

「It is an honor. It is delicious so please give it a try」

「Aah, there are also so many unfamiliar dishes, I’m looking forward to them」

After the dishes are prepared until they seemed almost covered with all sorts of dishes, the Butler - Bastian - and Sara continue to pour drinks for us.

Oh, the sight of a maid pouring wine is not bad, but it looks so cool when a butler does it.

As I was staring at the figure of Bastian pouring red wine, Sara comes toward Eleonora-neesan.

「Eleonora-sama, would you like some wine or fruit juice?」

「Well.......」

Eleonora-neesan makes a quick glance toward Sylvio-niisan while making a troubled-looking expression. Sylvio-niisan had some red wine poured into his glass.

The age when a child is considered to become an adult is fifteen years old in this world. So it should probably be about time for Eleonora-neesan - who is thirteen years old - to get a taste of wine.

Just that, it’s better if you don’t force yourself to drink if you don’t like it.

「Then, just a little bit of red wine please」

「Understood」

Aーaah, she’s putting on airs. Despite stressing out every day, saying things like red wine is just something bitter, and actually don’t know how tasty red wine is.

As I am amazed at her inside, Sara comes in my direction and is about to pour a drink into my glass.

「Red wine please」

「It is still too early for Alfried-sama, so it will be grape juice for you」

Sara immediately pours grape juice into my glass even though I was asking for red wine.

For some reason, this world has the tendency to allow people who have turned ten to drink a little bit of alcohol. For someone who hasn’t had two digits in their age like me, we can’t drink alcohol yet so it’s truly unfortunate.

Nonetheless, grape juice has the color of wine, so you can just enjoy the feeling of drinking wine.

After everyone already has their drinks, every one of us raises our glasses for a toast.

Then my eyes naturally turned toward the host, Nord-tousan.

「First of all, Viscount Dole. Thank you for visiting our place from such a long distance」

「No no, thank you for welcoming me like this despite the sudden visit」

「We have prepared the local dishes and also dishes made using ingredients from a foreign country, so please enjoy them to your heart’s content」

「Yes, I will be sure to do that」

「Well then, a toast for the friendship of the Slowlett family and the Dole family!」

「「Cheers」」

We each raise our glasses and take a sip.

And, I saw Eleonora-neesan’s face warped and she made a small mutter of 「Bitter.
