That evening, Anton and I were alone. The servants of the mansion here seem to be under his control. The attitude of the samurai, who started the meal and was not friendly to me, has changed in the last few days. I feel something scary like too much change.

In the dining room, I started meals, and the samurai were serving me. Anton has suddenly apologized on the spot.

"Yurica. I'm sorry. I didn't realize Anna was harming you in the shadows. I'm surprised to hear from the ladies here."

"When you were obsessed with your work, you left the mansion to me. So you're saying that Anna happened to be in charge this time, right? But is it good to kick her out?

"I'm fine. Don't worry, there's no one here to hurt you anymore."

Anton grinned bitterly at my dislike. Anton seems to have completely detached Anna. The way I did it seemed miserable. He must have let her do whatever he wanted. I think that's why Anna behaved with dignity as a mistress and the servants also recognized Anna as their mistress.

And yet I don't know what got in Anna's way, but she made a bad impression by bringing me, her ex-wife, into this mansion, offending Anna and hitting me. And he manipulated the samurai, and threw Anna out of the mansion.

Wouldn't it be a ruthless act while keeping you in love for once?

"Are you cold? You were being so cordial?

"I'm not that close to her. I had a contract with her."

"Contract?"

"Oh. I was supposed to be offered my clothing and lodging in this country"

"Then why don't we go after him soon? Aren't you going to be unable to live in this mansion?

"It's all right around there. She's not the one offering me food and shelter, she's one of them. No problem cutting her off."

Anton told me not to do anything. Does that mean you were treating Anna like a convenient woman? That's crumbs.

"Explorer, I think you two look great."

"Stop me. Yurika. You don't care about the woman who left, do you? Come on, let's eat before it gets cold. You liked hollow birds, didn't you? I let the cook prepare the fries for me. Deep-fried Hollowbirds are fantastic."

……

I love hollowbirds. But there was one case where Anton served me medication, and I honestly don't feel like getting my hands on it. What shall we do? And when I thought, Anton said, "You there," I called Meal.

Yes, sir.

"For Yurika's sake, poison this fried chicken."

"Yes."

Though Meal replied, he was afraid of the word poisonous or didn't quite try to get his hands on it. When he saw it, Anton raised a single eyebrow.

"What. I can't use it. Are you an incompetent woman who just speaks out of dissatisfaction? I don't want him like that here. I don't care if you quit."

"Sir. I'll do it. That's all......!

There seems to be a situation in Meal where you can't quit. Decided, she stabbed one of the fried chicken in the fork and threw it in her mouth.

"What do you say? It's delicious, isn't it?

"Yes. It's delicious..."

After eating the meal, I was horrified. I was also relieved to find that the fried hollowbird was not poisoned. I'm glad she didn't have anything on her for poisoning me.
