“Hello, Leticia. I'm sorry to bother you again today.”

Mr. Hayrout is raising his hand.

The painter, Hayroute, is also a friend of Claude's.

He liked my cooking, too, and when I visited oniisama's house, we used to eat together.

Today I brought fried mushrooms and bacon, and fried food.

Oh, what kind of fried food?

Exciting Mr. Hayrouth.

Ever since Hayrouth was tried and tested for fried foods, he has become a big fan of fried foods.

In order to hear their appreciation of the flavor, they have eaten a number of fried foods.

"Here it is. It's cut and fried, molasses entangled in it."

The name of the sweet potato used was different, but it tastes and looks almost like sweet potato.

It is a so-called university sweet potato fried in a low-temperature oil and stewed with sugar and water.

"The surface is shiny, shiny and beautiful."

Mr. Hayrout is staring at the university potato that he poked into the fork.

I can trust the eyes of the painter Hayrouth.

This reaction is likely to impress others.

"Sweet... There are sweet things in fried foods."

Mr. Hayrout cuts out his words and chews.

I ate two or three large bites of college sweet potatoes one after the other.

"Tonkatsu and fried cheese were also delicious, but it seems like they will become a habit today." It has a crisp, fragrant surface and a rich sweetness. The sesame covered on the surface also tastes good. "

"Fufu, I'm glad you like it"

While hitting the hammer, I also ate college potatoes.

In the cold winter, sweet potatoes are delightful.

Kotatsu on the feet and university taro on the mouth and stomach.

The inside and the outside of your body are warm, and your heart feels relieved.

When I was full and relaxed before oniisama, something hit me around my waist.

I'm so sorry!

Mii-chan.

Standing with two legs, she holds Mikan in her arms and presses her head against her to appeal.

It's a little chilly out of here, isn't it?

I sadly stepped aside and headed outside.

In the back of this building, which is rented by oniisama, a garden is set up even though it is very small.

There was still a piece of wood sticking out of the snowy ground.

"---Windblade"

The wind magic released from my hand cuts off the hardened snow.

Then, the wind magic put the snow together and stepped aside, and a chunk of semi-transparent ice came out of his face.

Umiiiiiiiiiii!

Mii-chan was so excited that she was wobbly and shaking the tip of her tail.

There are several Micans in the ice. As you can see, it was frozen Michan.

After that, break the ice and gulp it down.

The chunks of ice hardened the water with my magic.

It's possible to make frozen Micah just by burying it in the snow this season.

However, the taste has faded.

Perhaps because the freezing speed was slow and unstable and took time.

At that time, it was time for magic.

Gently wash and wipe with water to freeze the Micah once, then take it out once, rinse it in water, trap it in ice again, and freeze it.

It seems that by freezing twice, a double layer of ice film will form on the surface of Micah's skin, preventing the deliciousness from disappearing.

That's how it should have worked in my previous life.

I also tried other methods such as freezing the frozen Michan on a metal bat with good heat conduction, but for now, it was best to use magic to trap it in the ice.

Excavate the frozen Mikan that was buried when I first arrived, and fill it with fresh frozen Mikan.

Claude, oniisama could use magic, but his specialty was the magic of the Earth system. The water system had poor magic efficiency, so he couldn't do much more.

Therefore, every time I come here, Mii-chan will make frozen mikan.

Lucien puts Mikan in the bucket he brought me and shakes the bucket so it's just in the middle of the water.

I froze my magic with water and left it on the snow.

It will take some time to cool down to the inside of the Micah, so let's hang out indoors until then.

I used my magic to break the ice from the excavation, and Mii-chan and I went back to the room where the kotatsu was.

"It smells of alcohol..."

While he was a short distance away, the room was a place of sobriety.

There are already many liquor bottles lined up around Kotatsu.

Mr. Hayrout, who cheerfully drank the liquor, grabbed the next bottle.

Would you like to share a drink with Master Leticia?

"I'll stop." If I get drunk, I'll have fun with my pens. "

While smiling bitterly, he entered the room,

Both Claude and Hayrout are quite alcoholic.

I am old enough to drink in this country, but together, I could only see a hangover in the future.

Leticia-sama, this way, please.

"Thank you. I'll take it."

Receive the glass Lucien offered me. It was red wine that I had brought from the Imperial Palace.

Red wine, can be used for cooking, but it is still delicious to drink.

The medium-bodied flavor is a rich blend of fruit flavor, acidity, and astringency.

It is said to be easy to pair with dishes among the red wines, and it is complemented by a garlic mushroom salad made with pinches.

"Yeeeee ~ ~ ~"

Talk with your favorite wines, delicious snacks, muddy kotatsu, and thoughtful oniisan Claude.

It's fun to drink at home every day, but it's also good to drink at home with your shoulders relaxed.

The mushrooms are delicious, the potatoes are good, and it's very difficult for me to make this.

Mii-chan is also cute and unpleasant.

I put the frozen micans on the top plate and put my hand out for a second.

I nagged you!

and retracting meatballs. Funny and cute.

The frozen milk is served on the ice for a while.

At room temperature, maybe about 30 minutes later?

Waiting time is also part of the meal, and the more you wait, the more you expect and enjoy it.

I'll have one or two of them later.

Slightly fluffy, tilt the glass with a hangover.

While I was having a drink, Mr. Hayrout opened a bottle.

Drinking is so fast.

Oniisama Claude seemed to be having fun too.

They were born in different countries and different identities, but they drank well together.

"Speaking of which, the two of you..."

What is it?

What do you want to do?

The two of them whispered into my ear.

I've been drinking a lot, but it seems that my awareness is still very clear.

"Hayrout met Claude in this country, didn't he?" How did you become a friend? "

Ask what I've been curious about.

It seems to be a good match for character, but how did we get to know each other in the first place?

Mr. Hayrouth drank the liquor he had.

"We drank together in a tavern."

He gave me a satisfactory answer.

After all, it was like drinking, and it seemed like it was booming in the tavern and getting along.

Were you drinking alone the first time?

"That's right. I called out to Claude, who was nearby, and during the day, I became moody, and now I feel like I'm drinking with him."

Huh ~. That's right.

While listening to Mr. Hayrout, I pinched the roast beef I had brought.

This one goes with the wine, too.

I drank a glass of wine as I moved my mouth.

◇◇◇

"Hayrout met Claude in this country, didn't he?" How did you become a friend? "

In response to a question from Leticia.

I had a drink with Master Claude at the tavern and got along with him.

Hayrout answered with a smile.

(You're not lying, and there's no sign of suspicion.)

Leticia is in a good mood and cooking.

She looks relaxed and seems to forgive Hayrout as well.

Have you noticed who I am? Or are you just pretending not to know?...... I can't read through it, but for now, I think I can build a good relationship.)

Heirut had a fondness for Letty Shea.

As a queen, I do not doubt my ability as a magician, and I like the person who is easy-going and kind, and still does surprising things from time to time.

However, Hayrout was a painter and, at the same time, a spy who pledged allegiance to the prince of the kingdom of Lionelberg.

Blood can sometimes be sacrificed in missions, directly or indirectly.

I don't want to be antagonistic to Leticia.

There was no doubt that we would fight the enemy, and we wanted to avoid them as much as we could, in terms of both intentions and emotions.

(If Leticia becomes an enemy, Her Majesty Glenn Reed will be targeted by a number of troublesome opponents.....)

With a bitter smile in his heart, Halut looked at the front.

Claude, sitting face to face, should be one of those troublesome opponents.

The day she met Claude, Hayrout remembered licking his booze.
