At the mention of food, Lidyria's eyes blinked. But as soon as she saw all the food on the table and the decorations on the wall, she made a sullen face.

This is ...... Charlotte's birthday celebration dinner?
"That's what it is. You should join us.
Then I'll back off. This body belongs to Charlotte. What's a celebration without a leading man?
That's not what this is about. Now, sit down.

　Even so, Lydyria refused to obey. She just glared at Allen with a pouting face.
　Then there is a last resort. Let's do that for the first time in a long time. Allen chanted a short incantation and snapped his fingers. Then a hideous pattern appeared around his heart. He puts his hand there and smirks wickedly.

"I just cast a death curse on myself!
"What about ......?
I won't lift this curse unless you say you'll join me for dinner. What do you say, Lydyria? If an innocent civilian were to die because of you, you'd be heartbroken as well. Then hurry up--
No, I think it's fine if they die on their own.
"............?

　I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it. She was neither upset nor crying to stop her.
　It's exactly the opposite reaction I was expecting. Allen froze for a moment at the unexpected situation, but then he hurriedly closed in on Lydyria.

My life is at stake here!　If a good citizen loses his life because of you, even a little shit like you would feel guilty!
Who's the good guy, who's the bad guy? It's not like I have anything to do with an idiot like you dying on his own.
"Gosh, ...... was a very effective threat to Charlotte, but ......!
"Daimajou, have you ever threatened my lady in that way?
Ugh, that's the ......!

　Natalia glared at me with cold eyes as if she was about to shoot me. You can't say you're innocent, so you clam up, and Charlotte rushes to your defense.

"Well, well, well. Natalia. I'm sure you'll be surprised at first, but ...... Mr. Allen hasn't done much of that lately, so you'll be fine.
"Recently" ......?　I'm sure you'll be fine.　Daimao, I need to talk to you later. You're going to have to tell me exactly how much trouble you've been causing me.
You'll be able to find a lot more information on this in the future.
I'm not sure what to say.　I'm not sure what to do.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. The rest of them reacted in a nonchalant manner. The rest of the group reacted curtly, with a number of cold, "You're being ridiculous" looks piercing through their eyes.
　Then Natalia sighed and shrugged her shoulders.

"Not at all. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on, but I'm not sure if you can. The food will get cold if you wait too long.
I'm sure you'll agree. We've all prepared it together.
What are you doing here?

　With Natalia and Eruca pushing her, Lydyria ended up sitting at the table quietly. But she was still somewhat nervous and looked at Charlotte in the mirror.

This is your birthday celebration, isn't it ......?　More and more I don't think it's something I should be eating. ......
"I'll have it later. Don't worry about it.

　Charlotte smiled at that.

I'll take it later.' Charlotte smiled at her. 'It's also my way of thanking Lydyria for her help. You can have it if you like.
If that's the case, I'll have some .......
"Yes!　There are also desserts. There are also desserts at ....... Do you think you can have some too?
"Gosh, it's ...... okay, I'll have some .......

　I have no choice but to lift the curse myself and get up slowly. It was a somewhat uncomfortable start, but I succeeded in getting Lydyria to the table, so that's good.
　The whole family was now at the table. Lu and Goussetsu also had their food plates placed nearby, and they were ready to go.

Let's eat!
Bon appétit.
"Yes, thank you. ......

　Eruka and Natalia are cheerful, while Lidilia holds her hands together somewhat nervously. And so the meal began, a little more lively than usual. Each person took their favorite dish from the platter.


　From the mirror propped up on the table, Charlotte spoke to Lydyria with a nervous look on her face.

I hope it's to your liking. ...... Lidylia, you seem to have a discerning palate.
'Well, no problem. I don't have any particular likes or dislikes. Anything--
"Well, how about this?　It's delicious. You should try it.
I'd recommend the fried shrimp. You made it for me.
What?　You can't serve it to me like that!

　Eruka and Natalia quickly piled up the food on Lydiria's plate. In no time at all, the plates were piled high.
　It was far from a sophisticated dinner party.
　Lidyria puzzledly picked up her fork. Everyone was staring at her expectantly, and she realized that there was no escape.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it.

　So he extends his fork to the fried shrimp.
　The tail is a bit burnt, so it's not a perfect dish. Lidylia took a mouthful of fried shrimp with trepidation. At that moment, her frown suddenly eased.

...... is delicious.
"Are you sure?

　Charlotte's face lit up when she heard the whisper.

I'm sure you'll love it. I'll make it any time!
"Well, well, I'm .......

　Lidylia looked away awkwardly. You'll be able to see the confusion in her eyes. Allen chuckles because he can see the confusion in her eyes.

You're a child, after all. Would such a straightforward menu suit your taste better than a full course meal?
"Oh, shut up!　You're the one who--
Hey, Natalia. Do you want this salad?
Let's eat. Would you like some, Goussetsu-sensei?
"Then I'll share it with you.
"I'll have some too, Lu!　I like tomatoes!　What about you, Lidylia?　　What does Lidylia like?
"Huh?　What do you like?" "Huh?" "Well, let's see, ......, strawberries ......?

　I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not.
　I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've.

Allen, stop talking. What do you want me to do?
"What I'm going to do to you is simple and straightforward.

　Allen spreads his hands hawkishly.
　The only thing it'll fit is a table full of people.

"This is it. Lydyria, I give you ...... this sight.
"This ...... sight?
Yes. That's .......

　Allen smiles at Lydyria, who raises her eyebrows quizzically.
　You can get a lot more information on the web. I'm not sure what to do.

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it.
"......?

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.
