"... All right"

Early morning. Abby wakes up early.

She has a strong morning and, unlike Lydia, wakes up soon. Not particularly since today's appointment is a holiday, but just make sure it's replaced. Lydia and Carol have work in it, so she plans to take care of Ray today.

I take a shower when I head to the bathroom right away. Then, when you are somewhat ready, you head to Lydia's room. The room arrives right away because it is next door and is indoors using the key.

Then I saw Ray walking alone in the living room.

"? Ray, what are you doing?

And when I approached him with that voice, the cup was placed on the table. From that cup, a nice fragrance of freshly brewed tea goes through the nasal cavity.

Obviously this is not what Lydia prepared herself for. In the first place, tea leaves for tea are what Carol is buying, and only Carol or Abby can brew them.

The fact that this is prepared in it......

"Ray. You prepared for me?

"... yeah. He said he was coming."

"Right. Okay, let's have it."

About the seat Abby decided to drink Ray's brewed tea. Speaking of Ray, I was sitting right in the opposite seat and staring at her.

"Yeah. Delicious. Ray makes tea delicious. Carol taught you that?

"... yeah"

Shake your head to the side. That means I wonder who Ray learned from...... but Abby remembers. He will soon be able to imitate everything. The reproducibility took a good look at Lydia and her when she was playing tennis.

Does that mean you learned to see Abby or Carol brewed?

"Maybe, did you remember to look?

"... yeah"

Nodding. Seeing how it goes, she leaks her voice with a smile, "Well," she said.

To be clear, Abby doesn't feel anything for Ray as much as Lydia, and she doesn't think Ray is as loving as Carol. So much so that at first Ray recommended that he be adopted in an orphanage or some house.

No, the idea still hasn't changed much. Think we shouldn't be with beings like ourselves...... but Ray has talent.

That's something Abby can't guess, but Lydia seems to know. That's why she leaves Lydia to do the same when it comes to Ray.

Ray has a good influence on Lydia by becoming a disciple, because I know it very well.

"All right, Ray. Do you want to study today?"

"... yeah"

And as he heads to the room reserved for Ray, Abby wears glasses. When she gives Ray the textbook she brings, she starts the class as if she were a teacher.

Although he doesn't qualify as a faculty member, Abby has jumped through and excelled in general education among his troops. Needless to say, Abby will probably be at the top of the list in terms of overall knowledge.

Excellence in excellence. Because that's what Abby-Garnett is.

"The formula here..."

"... I'll try"

As soon as he teaches the solution, Ray silently tackles the problem. Abby staring at you like that.

When I first taught it, it was already a surprise. Ray's academic achievement is a little inferior to his age. I hadn't heard the details, but probably didn't seem educated in an academic sense.

That's why I was going to think about the pace one by one. But Ray was both quick to swallow and understanding to the point of anomaly.

That would still be done with excellence, but he would definitely get the same problem right even if he had a review in a few days.

It's not just comprehension. My memory was excellent again Ray. But that was something to snort at if you think about it. Whatever the exercise is in the first place, reproducibility is something that is remembered from one's own memory.

In the case of sports, look at an exemplary being - in this case, referring to Lydia - and start by imitating it. It's a reproduction of their actions from their own memories.

Abby believes that while there is not a causal relationship, there is some correlation between Ray's high overall ability.

"... Oops"

"Okay. Let's do the grading"

I'll take the red pen and do the grading, but it's all right. The learning content is already closer to the middle realm. Abby thought she was close to finishing her range of compulsory education - depending on the number of subjects.

"All right, well done."

"... yeah"

"Let's get some lunch. Anything you want to eat?

"Together..."

He tries to claim something in a small voice. Feeling it, Abby asks again with a gentle look.

"Is it also something you want to do?

"... I want to make it with you. I also want to study cooking"

"Right. That's a good thing. All right, Ray. I'll even teach you how to cook today."

"... thanks"

At that moment, Abby is irritated by unspoken emotions. I didn't understand Carol when she had been calling me adorable about Ray all the time, but she found out.

I'm sure this emotion is what we should call motherhood.

Abby's self-control is pretty high, of course, so I suppress her gut and take Ray to the kitchen.

So I'll teach you how to handle knives first.

"Okay. This is how you round your hands when cutting ingredients."

"... like this?

"That's right. So this is how I'm going to cut it."

Handy Abby makes chopped cabbage. I was going to make some fried lunch today, so it's a vegetable to go with it.

Staring at it, Ray mutters "... I'll try" and hits the knife on the fearful cabbage. Also now, Ray is standing on the chair cooking.

"… Ugh, nasty"

"All this has a big element of familiarity. First, take your time and be careful not to cut your hands off."

"... yeah"

Ray the boulder was also like a normal child with a knife.

Afterwards, Abby frys it in oil when she sips a large bite of bird thigh. Fry is dangerous on boulders, so Ray is asked to wait at the table.

I plan on making Lydia and Carol's share first this time I'll be back at night. And when you're done frying all the bird thighs, you take it to Ray.

"Okay, I'll take it"

"I'll have..."

Just like in the morning, sit face to face and start eating. Ray smiled slightly when he ate the pacli and freshly fried fried chicken.

"... delicious"

"That was good. Eat a lot."

"... yeah"

I don't particularly have a large mouth count. Communication is fine, but I'm not feeling any special edge either.

But why not? Abby is just watching how Ray is doing and feels depressed.

The activities of the special selection unit Astral are now calm, but until then there have been many harsh tasks such as intervening in conflict zones.

It's a strange thing, such as having a meal like this with a boy she met in there, she thinks.

"... Welcome"

"You ate well. As long as I'm happy."

Trying to transport the leftover dishes to the kitchen, Ray also carries those dishes in the same way as Abby did.

"Ray. Nothing, I'll do it. It's good."

"... thanks. I want to help you."

"---------------!!

It is filled by the emotions that are in its chest so much that it is not comparable to earlier. It was so intense this time, Abby is going to lose her balance unexpectedly.

…… Are you kidding me? "

"Ah, ah. I'm fine. Thanks, Ray."

Abby thought.

Oh, I'm sure Ray could make a lot of women cry in the future......
