…..S.

Ah… this enchanting delicacy of the sea makes my heart cry.

……niece.

It’s the sea. You flow gracefully, as if representing endless life, yet you struggle intensely in my mouth…

“….Venice!”

“Eh…eh?”

And when I was crying out my name and my body was shaking, I returned to a clean and nice restaurant, not a cracked sea.

“Why, Venice! Suddenly she started crying and couldn’t understand what I was saying…!”

“Captain…! We were surprised that no one answered even though we called several times!”

“…I thought it was wrong and tried to slit the employee’s neck. Thank goodness…”

“You were surprised. Why is it like that all of a sudden?”

What awakened my spirit, which had been riding waves of emotion for a while, were the four women looking down at me with concern.

According to their explanation, as soon as I put the lobster that Cerise gave me into my mouth and chewed it, my eyes went blank, tears started flowing and I couldn’t hear anything.

….I was embarrassed to be honest, but I told them honestly about what I had experienced because they knew I was wrong.

“Puh…puhuh. what. Was it that delicious?”

“Trigram… It’s okay, Captain! Because you were cute…!”

“If you want, I can save a hundred of these guys!”

“…Ha, it’s really hard to bear it.”

This is why I tried not to say it. The anxious and worried gaze towards me instantly changed to look at a small child.

….Is there something strange about Royu? But I didn’t try to understand. Because my mind desperately blocked it…

“Woman…you all have to try it! I’m not like this for nothing…!”

“…I’ve eaten this a lot.”

“I too… I know what it tastes like.”

“Really? Should I take a bite?”

“Wait a minute. Why is everyone so clueless!”

“”……..?””

At a time when everyone was trying to put their hands on the lobster and put it in their mouths, Royu looked at them with a cold expression and said, ‘The persimmons are all dead.’

“You guys. Are you just going to eat that? Even though ‘Venice’ is here like this?”

“”…………!””

Although many words were omitted, there is probably no one who did not understand what Royu said.

Their eyes were colored with shock, and then they looked at Royu with longing eyes, as if they were seeing a god.

Royu looked at me with his usual mysterious smile.

“Venice? Are you just going to take it?”

“….Are you sure you want that?”

“Okay then! Isn’t that why everyone wants that, so they make such earnest faces?”

“Ugh… this is a bit…”

“So, are you going to just take it and do nothing?”

When I again spoke out a subtle refusal, Royu suddenly turned with a straight face and said something that touched my conscience.

“”……””

And, it was difficult to ignore their earnest gazes.

Really… I don’t know why I’m so thirsty about feeding and receiving food. Like Royu said, you can’t live a pathetic life just taking it.

“Ah…I understand…”

“It was good!”

“Royu…! You…!”

“I think I like you for the first time.”

“Are you a genius?!”

okay. If they can become a little closer to me and smile, I can sacrifice my shame.

“Then, who will you give it to first?”

“Ugh…Uhm… Well, I’ll just give it to the person in sight first!”

If I left the order to them again, something unexpected might happen, so I just took the lead.

Well then… Since the one right in front of me is Royu, I think I can just give it to Royu at first.

Deep.

Royu offered me the lobster meat on his plate, and I took it with my fork and looked at Royuu’s face.

For your information, I tried to pick up the flesh with a new fork, but all of the girls euphemistically refused and forced me to use my fork, so I just picked it up with my fork.

“Now, now…”

“No. That’s not it!”

“Ugh…Ugh…”

“Come on?”

“….Ah-”

“Aang~ Yum.”

I never thought I would do something like this in my life. It seems like people don’t know anything about how to live.

“Mmm~! it’s good! I think it tastes even better because Venice gave it a try!”

Royu looked happy, worked his mouth hard, swallowed the lobster meat, and sat back down on the chair with a satisfied expression.

“Well…then what’s next…Carly?”

“Wow! This is it!”

“Chiit…”

“….Oh no! This makes no sense…”

Let’s just give it a whirl and be done with it. The longer it goes on, the more embarrassed I feel, as if my face will explode.

This time, I picked up the meat on the plate Carly held out and looked at Carly.

“Quickly… quickly…! Do it to me too…!”

“Ah…ah~?”

“Hehe…Hehe… Ah…Ah!”

Carly was panting like crazy and chewing on my fork with her sharp teeth.

Wow.

“….Huh?”

I heard an ominous sound, so I quickly pulled out the fork, but my body was no longer able to live with it.

The pointed head that stabbed the food had disappeared, and I looked blankly at the fork that was left with only the handle that I was holding, and then I quietly looked at Carly’s face.

Jeok-jeok- Jeok-jeok.

“Umm…mm! Ma… it’s delicious! The most delicious…!”

“……..”

Even though I could hear the sound of metal being smashed and chewed, Carly pursed her lips happily as if she didn’t know anything and then swallowed.

…I remember there was a joke among adults that it was okay for a young child to chew and swallow a rock.

But… Kali wasn’t a child, and what she chewed and swallowed wasn’t a rock but a piece of metal.

Let’s not even mention it, okay.

“…Crazy bitch.”

“Huh….”

“Now, Venice. I couldn’t even imagine this.”

Ariel and Seris looked at Carly with disdain, as if they had seen something she couldn’t see, and Royu gave me a new fork with an embarrassed expression.

“It was truly the most delicious food…! Lobster is delicious!”

“….Uh, um. That’s-”

“Okay, I’ll give it to Ceris next!!”

Ariel was about to open her mouth to tell the truth, so I urgently blocked her mouth and called for the next person to speak.

Ariel, are you T? It seems to me that Ariel is with a capital T.

“I…please do me a favor too, Captain!”

As Carly sat down with a satisfied expression, Cerise held out a plate to me with a solemn expression.

I didn’t hesitate, as I had now become accustomed to the lobster meat, using a fork (a new one) and held it out to Cerise.

“Ang, please. Ah!!!!”

“Ah…Aang…”

“Aang!!!!!!!”

The way he fought to grab the lobster meat was similar to Carly, but he didn’t even chew on the fork.

“… What an ecstatic taste…! It’s definitely such a taste that it would be rude to even compare it to the taste I had when I ate it alone and in tears…! As expected, if the leader’s hand touches it, even if it has no value at all-”

“That, Ariel!”

However, I became afraid of Cerys, who began to speak rapidly without taking a single breath while shedding tears, so I immediately looked at Ariel.

“…It’s a shame it’s the last one. Still… this is the moment I’ve really dreamed of and hoped for. Don’t be nervous.”

“Yes? What did you say?”

“Oh, no. nothing. Me…do it quickly for me too!”

“Yes. all right. Aang-”

Yum.

Omul-oul-gulp.

Ariel didn’t make a fuss like she usually did, and quietly savored the lobster meat and swallowed it.

Grumbling.

“Ugh… Ugh… Delicious… Better than any food in the world…”

“Uh..huh? Ariel…! Why are you doing this all of a sudden…!”

“Ugh…Ugh…I’m sorry… The lobster… was so delicious…”

To soothe Ariel, who suddenly started crying, I had to pick it up and put it in her mouth again and again.

And the three women who would not just sit by and watch that happened also joined the war.

In the end, I couldn’t even eat the lobster meat and had to constantly use my fork like a mother bird feeding her baby bird until all the meat that was filling its large body disappeared.

***

We finished the main dish, Leviathan lobster, and elegantly sliced the A+++ steak that was served again.

Seris, who offered to cut my steak, seemed to have applied too much force and cut not only the steak but also the table.

Ariel offered to cut it with cutting magic, but the steak was cut into 280 pieces, making it inedible.

And… I didn’t really ask Kali. In the end, Royu cut my steak into bite-size pieces.

What does it taste like? Compared to other things, it could be said to be ordinary. Of course, it was a steak full of amazing flavor, but it still tasted a bit familiar, so I didn’t make a fuss.

After we finished our satisfying main dishes, we were chatting about various things over tea and dessert like elegant nobles.

Drurr-kwaang-!

“Eh…Eriel-!”

“Hi…Hi!”

The door we came in was opened roughly and smashed against the wall. I was so startled that I couldn’t help but hiccup.

I couldn’t help but be surprised as I looked at the person who suddenly barged in with a bit of grumbling.

“What the fuck are you! Our master was surprised!”

“…Wait. Why are you here?”

“Hoo…? What is this?”

And it seems that it was the same for them too. Everyone said, ‘Why are you out there?’ Because he made an expression like that. Of course, Kali was still the same.

“….Father?”

And as if only Ariel could not understand, she cried out for the man who came in, no, for her father.
