There was a table in the dining kitchen of the house where Rio and the others lived where more than ten people could meet and dine together.

On top of that, Miharu's cooking is spread.

Do you take Celia into account, today's dedication was centered on rice, bread, beef stew, rolled cabbage with stewed tomatoes, terrines, salad and western food.

"Wow, that smells good. Did Michal make all this?

Celia asks as she softens her nose.

"Yeah, Miharu is good at cooking, so she's sharing it with me and getting it cooked. I left it to Miharu today."

"Heh, should I learn to cook too? I want to get along with Michal soon."

Celia said as she lowered her face to many of the dishes lined up.

"That might be a good idea, too."

Rio replied, not seeping (sobbing) a slight (callous) grin.

Teaching cooking should also be an exercise in Miharu's conversation.

You should stand between yourself and interpret in case of trouble.

"Brother Hart. Come on, let's eat!

Open your mouth in such a way that you can't wait for the Jazz who is already in your seat.

Rio laughed lightly.

"Oh, sorry, sorry"

And when I apologize to the Yakuza.

"Dr. Celia, please take a seat here."

I pulled the chair next to my left and recommended Celia.

By the way, next door to the right is Miharu's seat, and across the street is Aki and Yamato's seat.

"Thanks."

Celia takes a seat when she says thank you in a good mood.

When Aki and Miharu arrived from the kitchen late and took their seats.

"I'll have it."

The meal began.

"Itadakimus?"

And Celia asks Rio.

You must have wondered that everyone but Celia uttered the same word.

"This is like a greeting when you eat, and you give thanks to everything that feeds you, like cooks and ingredients."

Rio teaches Celia to tilt her neck what it means.

Then.

"Heh, I'll try, too. Itadakimus"

Let's see Celia, too. That's what I said on the look of it.

Miharu smiles happily when she sees it.

"Let's start with this Terrine."

Celia carried Terrine into her mouth using a knife and fork beautifully.

"The flavour of the ingredients seems good. I wonder if this is lightly cooked like a warm salad."

Smile and divulge your thoughts.

Only the aristocrats and Celia are better than the people around them.

Looks like Miharu's cooking could have done that celia and made her roar.

"Well, maybe next time I'll get some stewed cabbage over here."

That said, when she included the rolled cabbage in her mouth, Celia rounded her eyes and stiffened.

"Oh, delicious! What flavoring! It's so thick! The cheese melts in the meat inside and it's great!

Celia with great admiration.

It didn't have to be translated by Rio to find out that Celia liked the food, and Miharu softly hung up.

"What is this reddish color?

"That's the color of an ingredient called tomato. It's not in this region, but it's a vegetable that can be picked near the center of the continent."

"Heh, this stew over here is soooo yummy, too. The meat is tender, the flavor is stained and I have no complaints. I like every nobleman in this!

That's what I said, Celia, pushing her heartbeat.

I'm glad Miharu is being praised, and I can't help but sneer at Rio's face.

"Oh, already! You're gonna want some booze!

"Then... we have good liquor." Liberation ""

The space beside Rio was distorted and a metal liquor vessel appeared.

Celia's eyes shine when she hears of alcohol.

Rio shifted his gaze to Miharu and the others.

"I'm going to behave alcoholically to Dr. Celia, how about a sip of Miharu and the others?

and pointed the water at the three of them.

In the Strahl region, more people drink alcohol than water when eating.

Rather than that, there is basically no drinking natural raw water.

Lately, I've avoided drinking with Miharu and the others, but if Celia is around, I don't think it's stingy (yabusa) to drink with Rio.

"Huh? Is that alcohol?

"Yes, because even children can drink alcohol in this world. Well, it wouldn't be a good idea to drink too much, but I was wondering if you'd like to try it."

I casually recommend that Miharu and the others stay out of it, Rio.

"Uh, well, just one bite, then"

Miharu seemed a little troubled, but she accepted Rio's invitation because she thought it was a bad idea to turn down the recommendation.

"Oh, I want to try it too!

"Then I too..."

Then Yaman and Aki followed suit.

They both seem interested, and they seem to be attracted to the liquor bowl that Rio put out.

"Okay. Just a little bit, then."

That being said, I'm going to split the good, cold liquor in the metal carafe into five glasses.

I poured Rio and Celia's share, by the way, but Miharu's share is really only a little.

"Then let's drink. Cheers."

Where the glass has gone to all, toast with a toast.

Miharu and the others put their mouths closer to the cup as they said roughly.

"Wow..."

"Oh, delicious!

"Wow, booze was so delicious"

Miharu and the others round their eyes to share their thoughts.

Continuing, Celia, who enjoyed the fragrance and was lukewarm, included the liquor in her mouth.

"Huh! What, this alcohol! They're so delicious!

I changed my blood phase and screamed.

The best liquor Rio has is undoubtedly spirit liquor, but that is not so high in frequency and quantity.

You shouldn't imitate letting Celia and the others drink without darkness at a stage where you don't know how strong the liquor is.

It is one of the famous liquors made in the people of the Spirit that we are drinking now, but even if it is not spirit liquor, its flavour is not the same quality as the liquor made by the human race.

Celia's reaction was natural.

"It's easy to drink, but it's quite a strong drink, so don't drink too much"

"Where did you get such a famous drink over that! If you sell it, you won't see a few gold coins!

The finest liquor in the world of the human race is at most the price of a few gold coins.

But Celia assured me that the liquor she was drinking now would cost more than that.

"This alcohol is not made by a human race."

"Uh, I see."

Rio's interaction with the Spirit's people is lightly explained to Celia during the period leading up to the Rock House.

Celia put on a hit that she probably got there.

Celia inhales the sweet scent of alcohol deeply with her nose.

"Once the liquor-loving nobleman finds out, he'll change his blood and negotiate, this. Yeah, there's definitely a lot of people who want it, even if it's not."

And I said that with a glimpse of my face.

"I'm not going to let you out."

"Oh, it's a hell of a luxury to drink such delicious alcohol on our own..."

Celia leaks like a mourner.

There are so many equally delicious alcoholic beverages still to be drunk, and it's going to be outrageous if I say some more delicious than this.

Rio shut up and mouthed Miharu's made beef stew.

Soft, simmering beef stew seeps out a wonderful flavor, and Rio can flaunt his face.

"Now it's Michal's turn to enjoy the treat. What's that white grain on this plate? Wheat... it's not, is it?

"That's rice, isn't it? There are different kinds and I can't say it all at once, but as it is, it is characterised by no particular flavor attached. So it's a common way to eat with other flavored meals."

"Heh, well, keep trying first... yeah, it sure doesn't taste good. Looks like you should eat with something. Oh, it feels good to eat with this cabbage dish. Looks like it would go well with the stew meat."

Smile and enjoy your meal.

In that way all the time Celia had her tongue drummed on Mi-chun's cooking.

When I finish my meal, I'll take a bath this time.

"This is the stripper. The bathroom is on the other side of that door."

Rio guides Celia to teach her how to use the bath without tub culture.

"That's a lot of fine strippers. I wonder if the bathroom is quite large for this minute. I thought, isn't this house bigger than it looks?

Celia asks, just momentarily sending her gaze into the stripper's room.

"Oh, that's because you're doing space magic to expand the indoors. Structurally, there are limits to the area that can be spread out, but it's very convenient."

And when Rio answers without any concern.

"Ku, space magic. Did people teach you this as a people of the Spirit? I can feel how late the humans are."

Celia caught my face.

"I was impressed with the convenience at first, too. Shall we move to the bathroom?"

Open the bathroom door and prompt it in gesture to go inside.

"Thanks."

I whispered my thanks and walked into the bathroom.

"Hey, what's this? Wow! Is this the bathroom?

Celia screamed as if she had said it by accident.

"That's called a tub, and after you wash your body first, soak it in the hot water and warm it up."

"It's a lot different than a human bath."

Looking over the large bathroom surrounded by rocks, Celia exhaled emotionally.

There is no custom in the Strahl region to soak in hot water except for the hot springs, which are on the secret border.

Celia also knows about the existence of a hot spring, but she has never actually soaked up and seems to be very interested in her first experience.

"I think you'll get sick once you experience it."

Then he laughs, says Rio.

Keep your gaze on the indoor washroom.

"Wash your hair and body there. Hot water comes out when you touch the crystals of the magic props that are installed. There were five types of soap, each with a role of -"

and teach Celia how to use the magic props and soaps installed in the bathroom.

"Is this the place to use it? Rock baths and cypress baths have different temperatures of water, so you should get in if you like in the mood. Try to actually experience the rest. I'm going back to my room."

"Yeah, thanks."

The two of us went straight back to the stripper, Rio went back to his room and Celia was the only one left.

When you lock the stripper, take off the piece you wore and look like a simple cotton underwear.

When the underwear also came off, white straight hair stretched out to her back burst.

There are no people indoors, but I'm somewhat uncomfortable when I'm in a wide strip yard naked.

Celia headed to the bathroom with her sleaze.

"It would be nice to bury your body in this hot water."

The urge to jump into the tub, where the hot air stood unexpectedly white, boiled down, but I decided to wash my hair and body first, as Rio told me.

"Wow, I've never seen liquid soap before. And it smells really good."

Celia was surprised by the high quality of the soap.

Yeah, first of all, it smells different.

Soap, which is widely found in human society, is a soft one called soft soap, and it doesn't smell very good either.

But the soap that Rio prepared for me smells like gentle, sweet flowers that make me want to breathe in through my nose unexpectedly.

Definitely better this one than the hard soap that the Ricca Chamber of Commerce invented these days.

"He said Rio made all five of them, but it's going to be a hell of an income just to teach you how to make this. Well, I guess that kid wouldn't do that."

Rio is the type of person who chooses peace over status or fame.

It seemed like I would never give my name even if I taught.

By the way, all the soaps placed in this House are made from materials that can only be picked among the Spirit's people, so they cannot be produced where they have taught the human race how to make them.

Its quality is inked by the people of the Spirit, and it is remarkably good compared to soaps made in the Strahl region.

It should be noted that the method of making taught to the village of Yuba in the Kingdom of Karaski falls in grade but is more productive than that made in the people of the Spirit.

"Well, I wonder if my body should be like this."

I gently washed every corner of my body with foamed soap and sprinkled the foam with hot water flowing from the demon prop's hot mouth.

At this point, I felt my skin was more matte than usual.

"Face next? Uh, this is it."

When I put the warm water I had left in the bucket on my face, I took a container that said it was for washing my face and got the right amount of soap out of it.

Wash the foamed soap on your face as it is and gently massage it to avoid rubbing it.

"Wow. Feels good."

The dirt on the face is washed off, leaving the skin feeling moisturized and firm.

"So, what's next? Um, first with shampoo, then with treatments."

When I carefully washed my hair with shampoo first, I then tamed the treatment from middle to tip of hair.

"Is this okay?

Wrapping his long hair and head in a steaming towel as Rio told me, he soaked it in the hot tub as it was.

"Uh-oh..."

A stuffy voice leaks through Celia's mouth.

"It feels so good. That would be a habit."

Comfortable weakness envelops the whole body.

Meditate your eyes and soak them in hot water to your mouth, relaxing your whole body.

Looking up at the sky, the beautiful stars appeared in my sight.

Celia has a smile on her face.

"Beautiful. Until about half a day ago, I thought it was like the last thing in the world."

Two, Celia remembered when she and Rio were inspired to get along.

The location is the library building of the Royal College of the Kingdom of Beltram.

Was the time around a month or so after Rio entered school?

(Oh, that girl... There you go again)

It was Celia, who was always drawn to the lab, but this is how she often comes to the book room looking for books.

So Celia saw Rio reading the book silently by herself.

Celia often sees Rio reading books in the library this way.

Nevertheless, Celia still had less contact with Rio at the time.

But as soon as Rio entered school, he taught me the symbols of arithmetic, and at that time I was impressed to do the calculations at an unusual rate, and Celia remembered Rio.

(Always loaded with books, but what books are you reading?

When I see that look so often, I'm a little concerned about the boulder.

Usually just looking from a distance, Celia approached Rio softly.

(That, sleeping?

As he approached him, Rio slept in peace with the book in his hand.

I have a few pieces of paper on my desk with surprising letters on it.

(I wonder if you're studying letters while reading a book)

Celia guessed so.

The book you're reading sounds like a scholarly book for children, but on your desk you'll find a textbook of letters and dictionaries and drawings.

Probably reading a book while researching what you don't know in due course.

(Speaking of which, was this kid an orphan?)

and recalls Rio's predicament.

If you were an orphan, you'd hardly have common sense.

No matter how many books are for children, it will be quite difficult to read.

(But you couldn't have read the letters about this girl, could you? A month ago, I didn't even know the arithmetic symbol. No way......)

Have you learned enough letters to read a book in just one month?

It's self-taught, too.

Celia realized that.

(But if you don't, they'll leave you in class...)

The Royal College is a study hall attended by the nobles, and the lecturers are not free.

It won't slow down the course or make the content easier where I said I don't know the former orphan boy, nor will it bother to imitate the kind of time I take out of class to teach for the former orphan.

So if Rio can't keep up with the class, he should be abandoned and the class should keep moving on.

Celia herself was too busy researching and not so conscious, but with a little thought I could easily imagine that.

(I'm self-taught but I only have this in one month...... You're an amazing smart kid. Is this going to convince you that you were wearing arithmetic?

Taking one of the notes that had been placed, Celia read the contents.

The letters are beautiful, and there's no waste in what they say.

Moreover, it has been devised to be easy to re-read, and where it is difficult to understand, a detailed explanation is given.

Inside there was even my own vocabulary.

(I think I'm tired. Well, if I read a book here long after class, wouldn't it be impossible?)

The restful sleeping face is very neat but looks so innocent.

Celia said with a tickle and a grin.

"Look, I'm gonna catch a cold sleeping in here."

I shaved Rio's shoulder.

"... um... Dr. Celia... is that you?

"Oh, you remembered. Could you have been Rio?

To the drowsy eye Rio, Celia made me laugh all the time.

"Yes, but..."

What can I do for you, Rio pointed his gaze at Celia?

"Why don't you take a break and have a little tea?

"Oh, but..."

"Just follow me."

Celia pulled the confused Rio hand.

It lights up a little and takes his gaze off Rio's face.

How did you do such a bold imitation?

I think so now even in retrospect.

But at this time, this is how good it was.

I really do.

Because I wouldn't have gotten along with Rio if I hadn't.

This prompted Celia to have a good cup of tea with Rio.

If you realize it, you'll start seeing Rio like every day, and you'll start talking about all sorts of things.

Time quickly passed and I was very shocked when Rio was wronged and had to flee the country.

Since Rio left, Celia and Rio had been disconnected, but the thing about Rio continued to be engraved in my heart as a good memory in Celia.

I was actually trying to carry the letter that Rio gave me with me and change my mind when I read it that I didn't like it.

"I wonder what you'd look like if I told you I'd been carrying that letter all along."

Fluffy Celia leaks a laugh.

For Celia, Rio is not just a single student.

Because of his youthfulness and becoming a lecturer at the Royal College, he also had jealousy, and Celia had few people to call her friends.

The only person in my life I could forgive was Rio.

Some days I lamented my powerlessness at the time when I could only drop off Rio, who had been chased away from the country on a wrongful charge.

Some days I thought I might never see you again.

Still, I couldn't get rid of Rio's letter, the only connection.

Wouldn't we be seeing each other again someday?

Because that's what Celia wanted.

So for Celia, Rio was such an important being, like her brother, like a friend.

But maybe a little different now.

No, it's still no different to being that way, but a slightly different emotion is starting to budge.

I can't put it into words well, but Celia was feeling that way.

I'm still thrilled to think of Rio.

As much as I laughed at myself now when I didn't want to get married.

So much so that I want to stick my research pickled self into what kind of maiden I am now.

"I really have to thank Rio."

To come see myself, he came back to the Kingdom of Beltram with only unpleasant memories.

Even though I might turn the country against my enemies, when I found out about my crisis, he helped me without hesitation.

The connection between Celia and Rio only lasted five years and a little while.

"... I think it's time."

Could have soaked a little too much in the hot tub.

The last time Celia washed herself briefly by flushing a treatment that tamed her hair, Celia left the bathroom behind.

"Rio, that was good water. Thank you."

Upon finishing her change of clothes and returning to the living room, Celia thanked Rio, who was having tea with Miharu and chatting with her, as she tided her cheeks slightly.
