Takeo and Alice, who left the Belte family home, and Rufina were almost at the Elvis residence.

"Alice, Bona, did you find it helpful to talk to your mothers?"

"Don't let your stomach cool down, drink as hot a drink as possible, don't force yourself to take a walk, don't worry about being pregnant too much...!"

"I can only work hard because I can't experience all of this, but I think it's good to try a lot until I feel compelled to do so."

"I understand.

Takeo-sama, do you know the gender of your child in advance? "

"I didn't say anything about Pana or Konoha... but there are examples of Layla and the others."

Maybe you already know.

You won't tell us because we won't listen.

... I personally have nothing to do with men or women... how's Alice? "

"I'm both... but since I'm an aristocrat, boys will be wanted."

"It's true that I'm a boy as an aristocrat... but basically I don't think it's necessary to inherit the title if I don't like children... so I don't want to force you to be a boy."

“The Kitamizato family as an aristocrat may be over in one generation.”

Sorry to hear that?

"Hmm... I don't know.

I was born and raised in an aristocratic house.

I've never seen or heard of anything else in my life, and I don't think I can handle it.

I think even if I can, I'm just a soldier. "

Alice said with a bitter smile.

"Thinking about ending up in your first generation, would you like to save a little?"

Besides, no matter what I think, I'm going to die first.

You may have to make sure that Alice has everything she can for the time being. ”

"I have a knight's medal, so I get 20 gold coins every year."

It's okay, I think I can manage my life. ”

Alice was worried about Takeshi.

"Walt Whiskey and Worcester Sauce are likely to be a source of income for a long time, but... they are only an addition to life."

The rest is sake, miso, soy sauce... just groceries. "

Rather than that, takeo-sama, do you have three more?

"Yes, I think I've said that before."

When cooking doubles. ”

"... you said it.

Is it time for rice... you also deal with something called pepper, right? "

"Yes, one gold coin for one kilogram."

We can use 10kg, Elvis, Kitamizato, Japanese food, Steno Giken, and Belte. "

It's true that miso is like that, isn't it?

"Two bottles each for the Belte family, the Count of Elvis, and Steno."

One of the two bottles of Steno Giken will be eaten by Niou-sama as a hobby. ”

Is miso going to be a hobby?

"It's delicious on a cooled cucumber in the summer."

"Hey, I want to eat it."

"Maybe next year."

Ah, I said 10 months of training... but I wonder if there was some miso to eat in about half a year... while I checked my condition. "

"Half a year... it's about the beginning of the year."

Well, the ukas will do well.

"I'm looking forward to it."

"Everyone is looking forward to it.

The things that Alice has never eaten are eye-catching. "

"Ehehe♪"

Alice looked happy.

In the meantime, it's pepper.

"Hmm... Was it chicken butter roast today?"

Shall we prepare something with pepper and something that we don't use and ask everyone for their opinions? ”

"It's a tasting comparison, isn't it?

Rufina-chan, you're eating it. "

Alice turned around and said to Rufina as she walked behind them.

“It's been a long time since I've had pepper dishes.

I'm looking forward to it. "

"Ah, Rufina has eaten pepper before, right?"

"Yes, Master Alice."

Suitable for meat, fish and pasta dishes.

I also used it for dressing. ”

"Hooyah, that's a lot of use, isn't it?"

Ah... but I'm basically not good at Beastmen, so Serene, Luana is a bit...

"Ahh... did you say you don't like it?"

... When I use pepper, should I prepare what I used and what I didn't use?

The most problematic thing is the dressing, I think I'll use a lot of pepper... but it's not pepper dressing... "

Takeshi thinks.

Takeo-sama, Serene-chan and Luana-chan have to enjoy their meals too.

"That's right.

The most important thing is the mayonnaise... but if you keep it up, you'll get bored...

It's best to get used to Serene and Luana... but I've never heard of pepper training.

Konoha, do you have anything? ”

"I see... grated onion and garlic, light soy sauce and lemon juice?"

Ahh... it would be more accentuated if I used pepper. "

"Konoha, that's the beginning of the year at the time of the soy sauce."

Takeo, how about pairing Worcester sauce and mayonnaise? ”

Civiconha and Civipana appear on Takeshi's shoulders and say:

"Is it mayonnaise and worcester sauce or tomato sauce?"

These two are delicious, but... you look bored...

Ah, how about a Caesar dressing? "

Takeo says.

"Mayonnaise, milk, grated garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper...

I wonder how it will change without flavored pepper.

Looks like it's worth a try. ”

"Takeo, would you like to try the Caesar dressing today?"

Konoha and Pana say to Takeo.

"That's right.

... yeah, let's do it. "

Takeo and the others were discussing the dressing.

"Rufina-chan, I think you can eat the new dressing too."

"I've been thinking lately, but I feel like I'm eating something so delicious that I can't go home.

I can't go back to that diet. "

"It's okay, so am I and Grandpa."

If you don't cook for Takeo anymore, you won't be able to eat for the Elvis family. "

"I'm a slave... why do I eat better than my parents..."

Well, I'm glad to hear that. "

"Huh? Rufina and the others are slaves, but they're family members of the Kitamizato family."

And you're doing your job, aren't you?

If you work hard, I'll give you a proper meal, and I'll give you a small salary.

Of course, I'll take off the collar as originally planned. "

“Thank you.

Haa... I don't know the definition of slavery anymore... with delicious meals, live-in work with private rooms, money and free time.

I live and work normally. ”

Huh? Of course we don't want to hire slaves.

That's right... that's right... but I feel like the treatment is too good...

Rufina made a difficult face and followed them.
