(Colette) 「W-what’s this!?」

(Sabine) 「Ah, is this…」

Seeing the food were being served, Colette-chan and Sabine-chan gave a voice .

It’s a dish that I chose myself and ordered for 3 people . It will take a long time to make them choose by themselves and I’m also very tired right now .

I know their food preferences . If they still have a child tongue, they should be completely satisfied with this .

Yup, the one that has been served is 『Kid’s Lunch』!

Sabine-chan had the chance to see the kid’s lunch-like menu at the restaurant, 『Rakuentei』 which I had received a consultation request before . However, the kid’s lunch here is different from that .

Juicy handmade hamburger that is not a frozen food from mass production . Spaghetti that is not dry . Exquisite fried shrimps and croquettes . Handmade pudding that has smooth texture . And above all, the omelette rice (omurice) .

Not with the improper way like using demi-glace sauce and white sauce, stew and cream sauce, and such, but with 『cheap ketchup』 instead, and the eggs are also not 『soft and creamy』 or other jest things, but instead it was fried as a thin omelette which is the only righteous path .

This . This is it!

The kid’s lunch is usually for children in the lower grades of elementary school . However, the omurice here has a large portion which is also good for the upper grades elementary school children .

Due to being seen as having a lower age than the real one, I sometimes ate this when I came here with my family until I was a middle schooler . As one would expect, I gave up after I became high school student because I was able to be seen as a middle schooler and I considered the possibility of meeting acquaintances .

But today, I could push through using Sabine-chan and Colette-chan as my reason, saying, 「As the leader, I will eat the same thing as the children」 . I could finally eat this shop’s kid’s lunch after a long time!

With this age composition, I won’t probably be told to order something else . If I can be seen as a 14~15 years old in Japan then that’s fine!

However, just to make sure, I pointed at the menu with three fingers and ordered in the language from that world .

Yup, if it’s like this, even if the kid’s lunch order is age-restricted, it will be troublesome to explain, thus they will only receive the order and let it be . That was what I aimed for .

Waitress-san’s face stiffened because of my words which doesn’t seem to be English and a mysterious language instead . Hence, she only replied with 「O-ok ok, roger roger, yes,masu!」 which felt like 『she was trying to say every word that she know』 and left quickly .

……I won!

And the ones that had been served was these three dishes, or should I say, three plates of kid’s lunch .

The kid’s lunch here has a flag but no toys . It is indeed a strict match for the dish through and through .

And then, after being taught how to use a spoon for omurice by me, Sabine-chan and Colette-chan began to attack .

*nom*

*munch munch*……

*nom nom nom nom nom nom*……

*munch munch munch munch munch munch*……

Before we knew it, there were only empty plates in front of the three people .

And I’m currently being stared with chihuahua-like eyes by Sabine-chan and Colette-chan .

Do not worry, I also had the same idea!

He~y Waitress-neechan, come on!

*burp*… .

I ate too much .

And the one who have more complexion than me, Sabine-chan and Colette-chan were looking pale .

Two kid’s lunch and four desserts was a little too much as expected . Even for me who ended with three desserts… .

After this, I was thinking of going to a bookstore, but I decided to go straight back home as it is .

(TL Note: NO, THE ‘ART’!!)

No, we can’t move properly, and maybe ‘that’ will also come later .

Yup, the one that relates to a grumbling stomach .

I-I have to go back home quickly……wait, there’s only one bathroom at home! Even though we have three people!

T-this is bad!

(Sabine) 「Ne-neesama, u-umm, umm……」

Ah, Sabine-chan couldn’t hold it in until we got home, huh? But, it’s better this way because there are a lot of private rooms here . Colette-chan’s eyes are also swimming .

Now, all three together, let’s gooo!

The battle is over and the day has now gone .

Impeachment trial are being conducted at my home .

Head judge, Sabine-chan .

Prosecutor, Colette-chan .

Defendant, me .

Counsel, none .

I don’t feel like I’ll win . Completely . Even a fragment of it .

(Sabine) 「Why didn’t you bring me here up until now?! How much of a precious life do you think I had wasted?!」

(Colette) 「That’s right! Even if there were circumstances, it won’t be a problem to at least bring a souvenir back, right?!」

Colette-chan is currently not in her retainer mode but in close-friend mode instead, thus she’s unrestrained . Moreover, rather than the usual way of talking, it has a strict tone in it . She seems very angry .

Okay, first of all, I will attack Colette-chan who has a weak defense .

(Mitsuha) 「Colette-chan . It costed around 2 small gold coins for the lunch that Colette-chan ate today, you know?」

(Colette) 「Eh……?」

Colette-chan becomes pale and sinks into silence .

Alright, 1 hit KO! Too easy!

After all, Colette-chan’s sense of money is based on living in that small village with little cash income . It’s impossible for a child to spend two small gold coins for a meal, or even worse, the last meal before a family suicide .

In the first place, you won’t need to worry about suicide if you have two small gold coins .

Now then, next is Sabine-chan .

(Mitsuha) 「Sabine-chan . Do you have any plans to live here if something happens to the kingdom?」

(Sabine) 「Eh……?」

Yes, this must be confirmed first .

(Mitsuha) 「If a battle like the 『kingdom’s absolute defense battle』 happened again, and this time, there won’t be any mercenaries helping like that time . The kingdom, will be destroyed, right?」

(Sabine) 「Y-yes……」

Sabine-chan is smart . Hence, she should have already understood what I mean .

(Mitsuha) 「If so, can you abandon the kingdom and live normally as a commoner here or any kingdom on that continent, or else, will you remain in the kingdom until the end as one of the royalty?

In other words, I’m asking 『when the kingdom is destroyed, do you want to share your destiny with your family and the people, or do you want to live a new life? which one?』」

Sabine-chan asked me back after thinking for a while .

(Sabine) 「Is that, together with Mitsuha-neesama or me alone?」

Yeah, that is important, right .

(Mitsuha) 「Both . There are some possibilities such as if we escape together and evacuate here or I’m dead because of a blunder . In the latter case, it will still be fine because I will prepare enough money which was given by my guardians beforehand . Therefore, your life won’t probably have any trouble .

Well, I think that the chances will be low……

Also, during this trip, we will sometimes wait and come here to avoid danger . However, please consider if something happens to me in that world at that time . The kingdom will still going strong, but you will never return again . In that case, you will have to live without me in this wor-……this kingdom . I think the probability is almost none, but it’s still not zero .

If you don’t like it, Sabine-chan can still be able to link up with the main party and act together with them, though……」

(Sabine) 「……」

That day, there was no reply from Sabine .

Alright, I have deceived them successfully and got awayyyy!
