Chapter 31: Eating

After a few more bites, the girl suddenly turned her head.

"By the way, how did it become that I ate alone? Shirou's mashed potatoes barely moved. Looking at the mashed potatoes in front of me, which she had only eaten one bite of, the girl looked a little puzzled.

"That...... Artoria, let's finish the udon as soon as possible, and then I'll slowly remove the mashed potatoes. Embarrassed, I shoved a large mouthful of udon noodles into the girl's mouth.

…………

"Hmm...... There are too many Shirou...... Gasp...... Breathless......" The girl's mouth was stuffed to the brim and she protested indistinctly.

“…… It's all my fault, spit it out! "Seeing that the girl's cheeks were red and her body was shaking uncomfortably, I began to worry.

"No...... No, this is the food that Shirou fed me, even if it is ...... Swallow it all at once! The girl struggled to chew on the large ball of udon noodles in her mouth.

…………

It seemed to take a lot of effort for the girl to chew the food in her mouth little by little and swallow it slowly.

"Artoria, are you alright......?" Seeing the girl's relief and gasping for breath, I also felt guilty in my heart.

In the blink of an eye, the girl picked up the plate of mashed potatoes from in front of me.

"Doesn't Shirou really like to eat mashed potatoes?" The girl looked at me as she spoke, and her clear blue eyes completely reflected my face.

…………

"That...... I can eat it, but the taste is a little light. Seeing that I couldn't hide the thoughts in my heart, I could only admit it with a wry smile.

I'm used to oriental food, but I'm really a little uncomfortable with traditional Western food.

"That's why I want to eat it with a fruit salad, but anyone will get tired of potatoes." The girl said, carefully scooping up a spoonful of mashed potatoes, "Here, take it in your mouth first, and then a spoonful of salad." ”

"Okay." I said yes, and I wanted to reach for the spoon.

However, the arm was gently knocked off by the girl's raised hand.

…………

"Shirou only needs to open his mouth, and I'll do the rest." The girl said.

"This ...... No, it's just the two of us, and now on this occasion...... "I can't help but be embarrassed."

"What are Shirou talking about, he obviously did the same thing to me just now, didn't he?" The girl pursed her lips in some irritation.

"That's not counted...... You're a girl, and you deserve that level of preferential treatment. I explained with some reluctance. In fact, I also knew in my heart that I had just done what I thought I should have done for no reason at all.

"Well, that doesn't make sense. It stands to reason that husbands should be served by their wives. ”

"Whose husband even needs his wife to feed him...... That's weird, isn't it? ”

…………

"If Shirou didn't want me to help, I wouldn't insist. But it seems that Shirou just said that the taste of mashed potatoes is too light, right, so if I chew a few times before eating each bite, Shirou should be able to eat it deliciously. As she spoke, a smile appeared in the girl's eyes.

"No, you'd better spare me. It's more acceptable for you to feed me directly. I smiled wryly.

"That's right. Come on Shirou, open your mouth. The girl seemed to be in high spirits.

…………

Knowing that there was no possibility for the girl to change her mind, I had no choice but to give in.

In this way, the party being fed became me.

Luckily, with the salad, the mashed potatoes did become palatable, so it was not a problem to eat them all. I breathed a sigh of relief.

If you can't eat the food in front of you, it must be a shame......

…………

At this point, I suddenly felt that the silence around me was a little too much.

Subconsciously raising my head, I saw that all eyes were focused on me and the girl......

…………

"Woo wow wow wow, my sister, don't you want your brother? Damn Eimiya-sama, bring back that sister who has been sticking to me all day!! Kay shouted loudly, regardless of his image.

"Wow, feeding each other so blatantly, what a envy of the dead!" Ios's performance was even more exaggerated, and even involved Skaha, "I said Queen Skaha, do you just watch it and don't care?" You have to consider the feelings of so many single men present! ”

"Men? No, you're the only boy here. ”

Skaha's words made Ios blush instantly.

"That'...... That's not, I just don't look down on ordinary girls, in my heart, how can I think about it if I have to meet the standards of the knight king! Ios stammered, the graceful image he had worked so hard to maintain shattered in an instant.

…………

"Oh? So do you want to consider having your sister help you become a real man? A slight seductive smile crossed Skaha's face.

"Really...... Are you sure? Ios suddenly perked up.

"Of course, it's fake." Skaha giggled.

"Woo......" Ios' face suddenly fell.

…………

"However, as long as you worship me as a teacher, I will train you anytime and anywhere." Skaha smiled slyly.

"Woohoo...... Master, I'm going to apprentice now! Ios was so excited again that he almost jumped up and threw himself on Skaha.

I couldn't stop laughing and crying as I watched Ios being completely toyed with by Skaha.

…………

Buck didn't say anything, just smiled innocently.

Lancelot, on the other hand, kept his head down, barely touching his food.

Looking at his depressed appearance, I was also a little unbearable.

The greatest Knight of the Round Table, while receiving too much honor, also suffered too much.

One of the biggest torments is the unspeakable love for the girl all along.

…………

In fact, if you put aside the identity of master and slave, he should have a good chance. After all, he was the only person other than Princess Guinevere who knew the girl's true gender.

But unfortunately, the overly strong sense of honor constrained his choice. He could only sigh unwillingly, while suppressing himself endlessly.

So, in the end, I became the person who will accompany the girl for the rest of her life.

After that, only Heaven knows where Lancelot will go.

…………

"Artoria, let's eat the food together." I suggested. This should make you eat a little faster.

"Combining Eastern and Western food? Sounds great. Naturally, the girl happily accepted.

And just like that, both udon and mashed potatoes were quickly settled.

…………

"Looks like you've all eaten."

Soon, Skaha looked around and waved his hand.

Suddenly, the plates on the table, along with the food scraps, disappeared.
