Rather than being unable to cook, I stand in the kitchen in place of Lilia-san, who has no experience in cooking itself.
　First of all, I quickly cut the meat of the wild boar, but this seems to be a pretty good meat and I was able to cut it quite well without it getting stuck in the muscle.
　I lightly sprinkle salt on the meat that I finished cutting and put it for a while to prepare the seasoning, and in the meantime, I start to cook vegetables.

　Since I intended to fry them together with meat, I cut them too small or they would blur the taste, so I cut the vegetables a little larger and threw them into the pan from the ones that were difficult to cook.
　While stir-frying various kinds of vegetables, I throw the meat into the pan, and when I see the timing, I throw in the meat and it smells fragrant with the sound of oil popping.

　When the color of the meat changes, it's time to finish up.......Take out the "yakiniku no sauces" that you bought at the shopping mall and season it little by little.
　
　It's too difficult for me to improvise with certain ingredients, so all you have to do is fry them. Stir-frying and pouring the marinade over it is usually delicious.

　After that, I decided to prepare soup as well, since it would be too lonely with just stir-frying alone.......I took out the "soup that Zeke made for me" from the magic box and transferred it to a plate with a nonchalant look on my face.
　 Even if the tops and bottoms are turned upside down, there is no way that the soup I make with unaccustomed ingredients will be a match for the delicious soup made by Mr. Zeke. It's not that I'm not good at making soup, it's just that I want Lilia-san to enjoy the deliciousness.

　And while I, as a Japanese person, would like to eat some rice, Lilia-san, or rather the people of this world don't really like rice, so I'll stick with bread for now.
　Of course, the bread is from a delicious 'bakery'. No, it's impossible to bake bread, so... it would take a lot of time, and as I tried to do it all on my own the other day and created a demonic substance called black apple pie, I'll just rely on a professional to do it for me.

　Yes, I know I said I was a good cook, but I think the only thing I made was stir-fried vegetables, but that's a small matter.
　Of course, there are dishes I'm good at, but I don't have the necessary ingredients at hand.......I'm good at sandwiches and egg rolls, by the way. It's getting embarrassing to say it....

Miss Lilia, it's ready.
'Already?　It's amazing....................Kite, you're a great cook.
....

　There's something very honest and admiring about it!　I feel helplessly helpless!　Sorry, it was just stir-fried meat and vegetables!

　Cooking is something that will require practice in the future, but in any case, now that we're ready for dinner, we sit down at the table with Lilia and begin to eat.
　Lilia-san takes a sip of the soup first and smiles a lovely smile.

''It's so delicious. It's almost as good as our chef.''
Well, that's good to hear.

　I'm sorry, I didn't make that........I made that, you're a very good cook.
　And next, Lilia-san reaches for the vegetable stir-fry I made, and my nervousness reaches a climax when I see it.
　Oh no, oh no........because compared to Zeke's soup, my vegetable stir-fry is a few steps inferior in taste, no matter what you think.
　It's not that I don't want to be found out, but I'm embarrassed to be found out that I'm asking for Mr. Zeke's help even though I've taken on the role of the cook with all due respect.

　Without knowing what I was worried about, Lilia-san nodded her head as she took a mouthful of fried vegetables.
　I guess it wasn't as good as I thought it was.....

Oh, uh, Lilia?
...It's an unusual flavor. I've never had it before.
...What?
It's a little spicy and thick, but very tasty.
...Oh, I see........

　Lilia, you've never had barbecue before...　It's true that there are barbecue restaurants in this world, and barbecue sauce is widespread, but... but if you think about it, Lilia-san is a former princess and current duke... she's a hardcore young lady, and this kind of

　Soo, at least it doesn't seem to be a bad evaluation, and Lilia-san was somewhat enjoying her meal.
　.........how should I put it, yes......it was a relief.










　When I finished eating and put away the dishes, it was a good time in its own right, and it felt like bath time.

'Lilia-san, would you like to take a bath first?'
'What?　Ah, ah, ha, yes. So, yes!
...Lilia?

　For my part, I thought I called out to her very normally, but for some reason, Lilia-san's expression changed to one of extreme panic, and her face became redder and redder.

..........please wait a little while. Well, I'm still, well, I'm still, you know, prepared for it........
...er...uh...yes?

　Why do I need to prepare myself to take a bath?　
　


'What?　Huh ... that's fine, but ...
So, I'll try to keep you waiting as long as I can, oh, I'll try not to keep you waiting...
...Yeah?

　What is it?　I really don't know what Lilia-san is talking about.
　The question remains, but I was asked to take a bath first, so.......that in itself is fine, so I agree and get ready quickly.

　It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.
　So I decided to listen to the conversation after Lilia-san had calmed down, and I headed for the bathroom.










　I'm sure you'll be able to find the right one for you.
　The wood may be different, but it's like a cypress bath, reminding me of a bath I took at Rigforesia...it's a Japanese style bath, and it's wonderfully atmospheric.

　After washing myself clean, I soak in the bathtub and relax, stretching out my arms and legs in a leisurely manner.
　Oh, it feels so good........lately, it seems like I'm prone to encountering problems in the bathroom, and when I'm out and about, I'm in a hurry.

　It's a good thing that I'm not a fan of this kind of thing. Mixed bathing with the four goddesses in the world.
　It's a good thing that you can't get away with it.

　It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what to expect when you're in your own home.


'What?　Miss Lilia?　What's going on?

　As I was thinking about this, I heard Lilia-san's voice from the other side of the door for some reason.
　Thinking that she had some urgent business to attend to, I asked her back, but after a moment of silence, Lilia-san replied with a trembling voice.

''.........Oh, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.......I mean, I'm finally ready to......''
"...prepared?　Um, Lilia-san... what the hell are you...
And excuse me!
What?

　As I was feeling a bad feeling about the conversation that was becoming a strange cloud, the door was opened and Lilia-san appeared with a single towel wrapped around her.
　Eh?　What is this?　What the ... what the hell is going on?

　Dear Mom, Dad - The first night at the summer resort with Lilia-san, I finished dinner with more food than I deceived and decided to take a bath... and for some reason, Lilia-san came to the tub. I really don't know why, but I still think I'm - I guess I'm cursed by the bath, don't I?
