Miria finishes eating her fill of the dish quickly, and starts staring at the pieces that

When the dish moves to left, Mirias eyes follow it to the left. When it returns to right, Mirias eyes return to the right, and she kept that up until I gave both Roxanne and Sherry their own portions of the sauted fish.

I dont think I can eat any more fish even if I wanted to.

I think I have eaten enough as well. I wont take even a single bite more.

Me too.

I knew it would eventually come down to this, and so, I had already prepared the perfect thing to say.

Miria, if you want, then you can go ahead and eat the rest of the fish for us, since were all pretty much stuffed.

Of course, desu!

We were forced to concede to the fish dish once again today again.

The morning of the next day, that is to say, the morning of the day when I agreed to meet up with Cassia in Bode after giving her enough time to schedule an appointment with the Earl of Selmar. Once again assuming that what might happen once Im going to make my way there is going to the worst-case scenario, I warped to Bodes Adventurers Guild and made my way towards Bodes castle from there.

Both Cassia and the Duke said that they wanted make this appointment happen so that the Earl of Selmar could personally thank me for taking care of Heinz the Bandit and his gang, but honestly, I have my fair share of worries about this meeting, since I doubt that introducing someone like me, a commoner of pretty much unknown origin to someone as important as the Earl of an entire region.

Oh, if it isnt Lord Michio. We have been waiting for you. But if I may be so bold as to ask, why did you come from outside?

Err no, I was just, you know.

Well, it doesnt matter now that youre here. Well then, shall we get going now?

How can you say it doesnt matter? So there is no longer a need to hear anything that I have to say as long as I follow your orders around?

Get going? Where?

We are going to go to the Earl of Selmars territory of course.

Right now?!

Yes. After all, Thats what we talked about three days ago, remember?

No, no, no, didnt you said that in three days time you will be informing me about the date of the meeting that youd try to set? Because I remember it exactly like that! Nobody was saying anything about going to meet with the Earl of Selmar right away!

I am terribly sorry for the inconvenience, Lord Michio. I tried to arrange a more suitable date that wouldnt be as abrupt, but unfortunately, the Earl of Selmar is a very busy person, and it just so happened that today is the only time where he could spare a moment out of his busy schedule in order to meet up with you.

Cassia bows to me apologetically. And when she did, a faint fragrance drifted towards me. It definitely comes from her hair!
