"This is a pancake made with Twin Tailhorn milk and Hopping Wheat flour, with nuts dipped in honey made by Honey Bee."

　The owner brought me a plate with several layers of pancakes covered with honey nuts.

　It was quite a big portion.

　I looked at Ary, and before I knew it, he had a knife and fork in his hand. It seemed to be tucked away in the corner of the table.

　Is this it?

　When I took them out, Ary was already taking a bite of the pancake, as if he couldn't wait to eat it.

"Wow!"

　Ary slowly chewed and swallowed.

　The sound that leaked out was something I have never heard from Ary's mouth before.

　I stopped eating and asked him about it.

"Is it good?"

"Yes. The contrast between the very fine sweetness of the pancake itself and the strong presence of the honey-covered nuts is truly magnificent. I've never had anything like this before. ......"

　It was frustrating to answer, as one after another, knives were cut into pancakes and forks were brought to Ary's mouth one after another.

　I guessed that he must have liked it very much. I take a bite of the pancake myself, feeling that now might be a good time to talk to her, but I think it's okay.

　The aroma of honey wafts through my nose. The texture of crunchy nuts. The tenderness of the pancake that envelops the whole thing.

　It is indeed, as Ary says, a magnificent taste.

　It even feels as if the abundance of magical elements contained in the ingredients, derived from the monster, is permeating my body with its sweetness.

　Ary's plate is empty when he comes to his senses.

　Ary stares at his empty plate.

"Would you like another plate?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The owner appeared just in time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess the good timing around here is one of the reasons why she can do her job so well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While I was thinking about this, my eyes met Arri's, who was glancing at me.

"Yes, please. You'll eat, right, Ary?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Um... yes. Yes, please."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For some reason, Arri looks lost, and I end up ordering for him instead.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, I guess it's time to go.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I quietly tell Arri, who is enjoying the second plate of pancakes that was brought to him right away.

"So, is this about Loa's broken spear? I am sorry for what I did to Loa. Ary too, I am sorry for putting him in danger. He was protecting me. As an apology, I'm working on a replacement spear. But it will take a little more time as I am still selecting the best material for Roa's magical eye.

"No, a single spear is a small price to pay for Master Rust's protection. I am a fighter and so is Roa. We are prepared for it. But more importantly, you've thought of an alternative. If it's Master Rust's special, I'm sure Roa is looking forward to it.

　Ary replies by hastily swallowing the pancake he had been eating. His expression is still relaxed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Is that... is that not it? So that's it, then. In terms of the damage, ......

"I know you were worried about Rose, too. I'm sorry. Rebuilding Rose is going well. Everyone at the Kagero agency is helping. They have never worked with plant alchemists before, so they were a bit confused at first, but they seem to have mastered it very well. I'm hoping to be back to full strength in a few more days.

"Well, that's good to hear. I look forward to having tea made by Rose again.

　That's not the same thing. What is it? What else did I have to do? Zwei got hit by a lot of things at the end, but I think there is a good chance that he won't be a threat in the foreseeable future. It was my fault that they took over the control of the hole in the space, but I'm sure Arri has heard from Kalin and understands that there is a big aspect of force majeure.

　I quietly watch Ary with one eye while I slice the remaining pancakes into small pieces and bring them to my mouth as slowly as possible.

　Ary sighs a big sigh, as if he can see through my stalling.
