Chapter Twenty-Six: A Lively Dinner
Thanks to Alex's craftsmanship, the dinner was quite richly prepared. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Arashi sat in the master's seat, with Emilia and Priscilla on his left and right hands, respectively, and Kursius sat on Emilia's side with her cat-eared lady.
Poor Ronnie and Adamlith sat beside the proud Priscilla, who was oppressed by the latter's momentum, and the two remained in a state of trembling the whole time.
The red lotus, who got up with the smell of rice, paced and jumped down the stairs. After a day of shopping, it is still too much for a dog's energy.
"Big sister?!" Honglian, who walked to the entrance, was surprised when she saw Emilia, and then happily threw herself into the girl's arms.
"Haha, Red Lotus. The joyful maiden took the red lotus in her arms and kneaded the top of its head.
Honglian, who was still enjoying special treatment, looked at the opposite side with extremely natural eyes, and immediately widened her eyes. The dog's paws jerked up and reached out for Arashi.
"Lan, you are indeed my most sincere partner. β
This stupid dog, Lan's face suddenly darkened.
On the contrary, Priscilla, who was teased, looked at Lan with an inexplicable smile and said, "Why don't you learn its honesty?"
Kuerxiu and Lan, who had become resistant to the girl's self-righteousness, turned a deaf ear, and the former said heartily: "How can there be no wine at the dinner party. β
"Master Kurshu, I've got a meow ready for you. Phyllis took out a bottle of wine that he had found out of nowhere.
Isn't this a gift for the teacher himself?Alex blinked, puzzled, how did the knight find it?
Filip-chan, don't use your sense of smell in such a place, Ronnie covered his face in pain.
"How about a toast?" Kursius held up the wine in his glass and looked around at the group.
Arashi had taken the clean cup and had just filled it with wine, but Priscilla reached out and took it away from him, moving her own glass in front of him, shrugging her shoulders and looking innocent.
With a slight frown, Arashi could only continue to pour the wine again, and after the episode, everyone raised their glasses and drank to announce the real start of the dinner.
Between the cups and the lamps, the atmosphere on the table gradually became lively. Kuerxiu's amount of wine is unexpectedly good, I really don't know if it's because of the pretending to be a man in her body, and the arrogance of drinking wine is not inferior to Lan at all.
Emilia has always had a bad amount of alcohol, so she just happened to have the red lotus in her arms, so she was responsible for taking care of it wholeheartedly. Priscilla, on the other hand, seemed to be prone to blushing, and after a few drinks, her face began to flush, and interestingly, this blush spread all the way to her snow-white neck like a blooming flower, and with bright clothes, it looked like a ripe apple.
Ronnie and Phyllis know best how much their sister Kurxiu drinks, and the woman who has also inherited her Valkyrie characteristics in the wine field is really not the turn of the two of them to worry, it is better to drink a few more glasses with each other to be relaxed and happy.
However, Alex has to take care of cooking from time to time, and he is the busiest green after a dinner.
"Although the night is short, it is as good as yesterday. The proverb that was so popular among the optimistic Lugonica people became to some extent the best footnote to this unexpected gathering.
When the full moon was sinking in the west and the stars were twinkling alone, the dinner was coming to an end, and everyone got up to say goodbye. Kurxiu, who impressed Lan, maintained a calm and relaxed appearance even when he left, except for two blushes, he couldn't see anything else.
As for the mistake of stepping on the empty pedal before she got into the car, Arashi said that she didn't see it at all.
On the contrary, Priscilla snorted heavily at Arashi, who was seeing off the guest at the door, and her attitude was particularly bad. The helmet guards who came to greet him couldn't figure out the situation.
For the misunderstanding that happened earlier, Lan, who could only smile bitterly, whispered "I'm sorry". (Note 1)
However, looking at the way the girl left with a black face, she didn't seem to accept the apology, after all, something so embarrassing happened.
I really didn't mean to, Arashi touched her cheek awkwardly with her right hand, and watched the girl in front of her angrily board the carriage, and after the attendant closed the door, Priscilla raised her middle finger at the open window.
"Hey, Miss Princess, don't use the gestures I taught you indiscriminately, the people of this world can't understand it. The helmeted man named Al had a frightened expression.
Regarding the girl's sudden behavior, Lan tilted her head and thought about it, and also raised her middle finger.
This action immediately attracted the attention of Priscilla and Al, but the carriage started slowly, leaving Arashi's shadow illuminated by the lights in the house, elongated and distanced in the halo.
At this moment, the royal capital has completely calmed down, there are few cars on the road, the moonlight quietly shines on Priscilla's body through the car window, and the bright clothes and the rose-colored gorgeous interior are integrated. She, really suits this color.
"Looks like I've met someone interesting. With her hands on her cheeks, Priscilla smiled at the passing scenery out the window.
"Yes, Miss Princess. Al knocked on his helmet and came to his senses: "Ah, at this time I should say that everything is indeed the result of Heaven obeying the will of Miss Princess." β
Stretching out the fan and shaking it slightly up and down to express her approval, Priscilla was not surprised at all: "Occasionally, it is inevitable, the world belongs to the concubine." β
In Arashi's house, Amilia, who was left alone to help clean up the dishes together, was invited out of the kitchen by Alex after Arashi saw off the guests.
"Did you contact Rem?" Arashi smiled as she looked at the girl sitting next to her.
Red Lotus, who circled around Emilia, waited until she was completely seated, and jumped unceremoniously to her knees.
"Well, she's on her way here. Emilia nodded, she was the one who drank the least at night, so she was in good spirits at the moment.
"It's been okay lately!" Arashi asked Emilia in a homely after-dinner tone.
"Yes. Emilia smiled as she recalled the events of this time, and said with some important words, "By the way, Arashi, let me tell you, I have Mr. Sankes' approval, although he still thinks it is too strange for a half-elf to participate in the king's election. Still, he gave me his manuscript and recommended me to read a lot of books......"
"Yes, yes. Listening to the girl's nagging, Lan smiled and nodded from time to time.
It wasn't until Rem appeared in the carriage that the two ended this chatter, and to Emilia who was about to leave, Arashi encouraged again: "Come on." β
"Yes. "Compared to the last time we met, Emilia is undoubtedly a little more confident now, and it seems that she has really received a lot of help from that Mr. Sanks.
By the time Emilia had also left, there were only Arashi and Alex left in the house, and Red Lotus, who was not interested in the two men at all, had already twisted her ass and gone upstairs, and at the dinner party, she had a very good appetite and ate a lot of food.
"Teacher. Alex pushed the full glass in front of Arashi and sat quietly in the courtyard with him.
"It's been a hard day. β
"It's okay, but I really didn't expect there to be so many big people. Alex smiled a little embarrassedly and took a sip of the wine.
"Just treat it like a guest. Arashi beckoned to Alex and motioned for him to hand over the wine glass in his hand, "You're also interested in this election?"
"Nope. Alex shook his head, "Teacher, my father is an ordinary baron, and my family and I belong to the kind of people who can just wait silently for the results to appear in this election. β
Lan shrugged her shoulders and said, "It's not necessarily a good thing. β
"Teacher, what about you? What are you pursuing? Alex tentatively asked, if Arashi's answer revealed his intention to participate in the king's election, then he hoped that he could use his little information to help the teacher find the horse that must win.
Half-drunk, the arrogant Arashi showed a different side from his usual side, he stretched out his left hand and pointed it to the sky, revealing a dragon-shaped wrist that slipped down his arm a little, and Alex noticed a slight crack in the finely crafted wrist.
"The apex of kendo. β
