”It’s a very early lunch”
Shinji took his seat and waved to Morse, who brought him the daily set meal and placed it in front of him.
”Take your time,” Morse said, and then went back to his work at the inn.
After Himeno saw the set meal, which consisted of rice, soup, a main dish and a small bowl, she spoke to Shinji.
”I’ll train my friends from noon, so I’m eating early”
”I’m sorry to hear that. We’re on vacation. We’ve just been working out a little so that our body doesn’t get too dull. Oh, don’t be shy about eating with us”
With Himeno’s urging, Shinji begins to eat.
Himeno also raised her empty ale mug and was about to ask for another, but Ichiro stopped her.
”Ojou, it’s still lunchtime”
”Noisy....... Well, you guys should say hello”
With a childish grimace on her face, Himeno said what was on her mind. Shinji who thought he could not continue eating while introducing himself stopped his chopsticks, but Ichiro stopped him with his left hand.
”Please continue with your meal. I am Ichiro, Ojou’s attendant. Over there is Jiro, and over there is Saburo. We are all in the same position. Please treat us well”
Speaking with a stern face in his forties, Ichiro is a man with silvery-white hair whose right sleeve is extended and his right hand is completely hidden.
After Ichiro introduced himself, he bowed his head lightly.
”I’m sure you have more to talk about......”
”Ojou, we’re still eating”
Seeing Ichiro took care of Himeno, who looked bored. The role of a caretaker seems more appropriate than that of an attendant.
And Shinji decided to eat his food as quickly as he could, because he didn’t feel like he could eat calmly.
”....... Okay, I’m done eating”
”I’m sorry about Ojou......”
It was clear that it was Himeno’s fault that Shinji ate so quickly, and Ichiro was embarrassed. However, Himeno was unconcerned and went on with her story.
”You’re next, Jiro”
”Osu. ......My name is Jiro. I’m the attendant of Ojou-sama just like Ichiro-sama. ......Ojou-sama, there’s nothing more to say......”
Jiro, a young man who looked to be in his late teens, had a similar face to Ichiro and the same hair color. Furthermore, his sleeve on his right arm is long enough to cover his hand, so it is easy for Shinji to assume that the two are father and son.
Ichiro’s Lord, Himeno, was a beautiful woman, and Ichiro was not sure what Shinji’s purpose was in approaching her, but he thought that this should have made it clear to him that even if he wanted to be in a relationship, he could not.
”The young men on my village are weaker than me. Just once, I would like to fall in love like a girl of my age”
Himeno knew that she could not escape her marriage. Therefore, she wants to fall in love only once, to treasure the memories, and then fulfill her role.
”I see......”
”Is that a silly reason?”
Shinji shook his head at Himeno’s question.
”No, everyone has their own reasons. It would be nice to meet someone with whom you can have a fiery fight”
Shinji smiled as he said this.
(Fiancee, is it?...... but if she doesn’t have any feelings for him, It’s not exciting at all)
Shinji’s inner thoughts are really evil, but no one notices it.
Ichirō, Jirō, and Saburo felt that Shinji’s attitude did not change when he heard about Himeno’s situation, instead Shinji did not make a fool of her, but showed understanding and generosity.
Himeno had also never seen a reaction like Shinji’s before.
In her village, she would just be taken aback or dismissed as a fool.
”Umu. I’m looking forward to it”
Himeno responded to Shinji’s words with a smile that said she was so happy.
___________
Everyday life.
The story of the party.
Ichiro, Jiro and Saburo are Himeno’s attendants.
Ichiro is the head attendant. Jiro and Saburo are in the same position. Father and son are in charge of Himeno.
Himeno is a young lady in love.
She is selfish and self-centered. However, she understands her role and limits her selfishness to what Ichiro will allow.
The words “I have a fiancee” do not work on Shinji. Rather, it’s a whiff. However, since they don’t seem to get along, Shinji doesn’t feel like messing with her at the moment.
