Sitting in the chair, I used the spoon I held in my right hand to scoop up a spoonful of carrot and chicken risotto and put it in my mouth, when the risotto was put into my mouth, I chewed the rice in my mouth, and closed my eyes with a complicated expression.

(Sure enough, I still can't taste it...... ）

"Mr. Tut, what do you think of my brother's lunch?"

Just as I closed my eyes with a complicated expression, Firo's voice came from the other side of me, and when I heard her inquiry, I subconsciously opened my eyes and looked at Firo, who was looking at me with expectant eyes.

(Does the risotto taste good?)

To be honest, the carrot and chicken risotto I tasted didn't taste at all, there was no flavor, the thick soup and the tasteless but grainy rice were chewing in my mouth, and to be honest, I had a feeling that what I was eating at this time might not be carrot and chicken risotto, but plastic particles without any taste.

Of course, I'm not disgusted with the carrot and chicken risotto in the bowl, which is generally unpalatable, it's a lunch made by brother and sister Regus and Philo, and although I can't taste any of the risotto, I can't show any disgust with it......

(But...) If only I could taste the true taste of this carrot and chicken risotto, ......damn it! ）

As soon as I thought of this, I scooped up a few mouthfuls of risotto again with the spoon in my right hand, put it into my mouth, pretended to be very delicious, and chewed, and Firo, Reggs, and Wino, who were sitting on the chair opposite me, couldn't help but smile at the same time when they saw that I was eating deliciously, and they also enjoyed the risotto in their respective bowls with the spoon in their hands.

"Delicious. After eating the last bite of risotto in my bowl, I looked at Philo and Regus and praised them with smiles on their faces.

"Really?!(×2)"

Hearing the compliments from Captain Tut, Regus and Philo couldn't believe what their ears heard, and the two of them asked Captain Tut in unison.

"Really, really delicious. Hearing Regus and Firo's rhetorical question, I nodded in the affirmative.

"Great!"

Knowing the affirmation of the Tut Warrior Commander, Firo cheered happily, and Regus, who was sitting next to her, smiled at Sanshan.

"I thought you might not be able to get used to my cooking, Captain Tut, but now I'm really thinking too much......," Regus said to Captain Tut, who was sitting across the table from the table, scratching his hair with the index finger of his left hand.

"Regus, Tut is not the kind of goblin who will find fault with other people's hard cooking, not to mention that the carrot and chicken risotto you make is really delicious!" Wino, who was sitting next to Tut, smiled and said to Regus, and Wino also said that the food cooked by Regus was indeed delicious.

"Yes. ”

Hearing Sister Wino's praise, Regus's cheeks flushed slightly, and he lowered his head a little embarrassed.

"Captain Tut, would you like another bowl?" Seeing that Captain Tut's bowl was empty, Firo put down the spoon she was holding, and obediently walked to Tut's side and asked.

"As a warrior, I don't eat ...... at every meal."

"Okay, that's another bowl~"

Just when I was about to say that I was full and didn't need to add any more food, Fei Luo smiled and grabbed my rice bowl and walked to the kitchen before I finished speaking, watching her walk towards the kitchen, I couldn't help but smile helplessly on my face.

When Philo came out of the kitchen again, she was holding a bowl of risotto with many chicken pieces in her hand, and when I saw this bowl of risotto, I swallowed nervously, and Philo walked up to me unhurriedly and put the rice bowl on the table in front of me, smelling the aroma emanating from the risotto, and the saliva in my mouth couldn't help but produce it again.

"Come~Please use it~" Fei Luo smiled kindly, and stretched out her hand to the Tut Commander in a sweet voice.

Wino, who was sitting on the side, looked at the Tut bowl with a lot of chicken pieces, and she couldn't help but swallow greedily, and Regus, who was sitting across the table, saw his sister dressed up for the Tut warrior after the meal, and he showed a look that was indeed the case.

Goo Ton -

Looking at the bowl full of risotto in front of me, I swallowed the saliva in my mouth, and I couldn't help but silently retreat in my heart.

(Fei Luo helped me pack a lot of rice, did I really finish eating?)

Thinking about whether I could finish this bowl of rice, I picked up a spoonful of risotto full of chicken and carrots, put it in my mouth, and chewed it, but the rice was still as tasteless as ever... Even the highlight of the carrot and chicken risotto, the chicken, naturally does not have any flavor.

But even if I can't taste the chicken, I can still taste the texture of the chicken, and the cooked chicken is tender and springy, and it tastes like... Belch... How to describe it?

Resilient... Rubber?

Although I could smell the aroma of carrot and chicken risotto, it was not so pleasant to eat food that had no taste at all......

I put the last bite of the risotto mixed with diced carrots and chicken pieces in the porcelain bowl into my mouth, chewed it a few times, swallowed it, put the spoon in my hand back into the bowl, and I picked up a napkin placed on the table and wiped my mouth. There was still a small half bowl of risotto in Wino's bowl, Regus's had already eaten, and Firo's bowl was still half left, and I smiled silently as I looked at them while they were still eating.

"I'm full. ”

I explained to Regus and Philo that I was full, and picked up the bowl I had eaten on the table and walked in the direction of the kitchen.

"Captain Tut, I'll clean it up for you......" Seeing me pick up the bowl and walk towards the kitchen, Firo looked at my back and said quickly.

"It's okay, I'll do it myself. As I walked towards the kitchen, I turned my back to Firo and said,

In response to Fei Luo's skills, I have already walked into the kitchen, put the bowl in my hand on the countertop of the stove, I walked out of the kitchen and returned to the living room, looking at the three people who were still eating lunch, I looked around the living room idly, after watching the living room for a while, I walked to Fei Luo's side, leaned to her side, and whispered, "Where is the bathroom?"

Firo, who was still eating, was asked by me, she put down the spoon she was holding in her hand, stood up, and looked at me with a calm expression.

"Captain Tut, come with me, I'll take you. ”

With that, she walked down a corridor in the living room, and I followed her.

Wino, who was still eating at the table and sitting on a chair, was a little puzzled when he saw this scene, and Regus, who was still sitting in the chair, seemed to understand something.

"Regus, what did Tut do with your sister?" asked Wino, confused.

"I suppose Captain Tut is going to the bathroom, and you want Philo to take him, right?" Regus said what came to his mind.

"Oh, I see. ”

I followed Philo to the end of the hallway and stopped.

"This is the bathroom~" Firo explained to me, pointing to a room in front of her.

"Well, I see. Standing behind Firo, I nodded and replied.

"Okay, then I'll go back to the Tut Warrior Commander first......"

Hearing Captain Tut's response, Philo turned around with a smile and planned to go back to the living room to continue lunch, but when Philo took a few steps, she suddenly turned her head and looked at Captain Tut with a nervous expression.

"Captain Tut, remember to rinse up when you're done using the bathroom. My mother... She's a more hygienic person......" Firo said to Captain Tut in a nervous voice.

"I understand. ”

I smiled awkwardly at Philo and said that I would flush the toilet and clean it up, and after responding to Philo, I pushed open the bathroom door and walked in, and Philo returned to the living room.

Toilet.

At this time, I was standing in front of the washbasin, and I looked at me in the mirror hanging on the wall with a gloomy expression, and suddenly I looked in the mirror and stuck out my tongue in my mouth. I leaned forward slightly and looked carefully at the tongue reflected in the mirror, there was nothing unusual about the tongue, and its surface was still unchanged as usual.

When did I start not being able to taste any food, you ask?

(Hmm...... ）

It's probably been the time since I returned to the ancient city of Manya from the Forbidden Land of Lesa Yaga, and I don't know what happened to me that prevented me from tasting any food, seasonings, or drinks......

I don't know why I suddenly couldn't taste any food from then on, but that guy must know what was going on on me, and I dare to pack a ticket...'Fringeld', that guy definitely knows the answer!

(Fringard, I have something to ask you.) ）

I deliberately lowered my voice and asked Fringeld questions in my head.

[So... What are you going to ask, mate?]

In response to my lower-voiced question, Fringard spoke to me in his usual relaxed voice, asking rhetorically.

(Don't play stupid!) You know why I can't taste any...) No...'loss of taste' reason, right?!)

Hearing Fringgard's flirtatious voice, I questioned him aloud in my head.

[Yes, I know why.] One thing you can make a mistake about is that you can't taste anything, it's not that you have lost your sense of taste, but that you're ...... ］

Hearing my questioning, Fringard didn't say anything but briefly stated that he knew the reason why I couldn't taste anything, and that my inability to taste anything was not a loss of taste.

(That...) How are you going to explain all this?!)

After getting Fringer's explanation, I asked him in a loud voice.

[Calm down, partner, it's not like you're used to be flustered like this.] ］

To my rhetorical question, Fringard still spoke to me in a relaxed voice, in the tone of a dear friend.

(Calm down, you say calm down, how do you want me to calm down?!)

When I heard what Fringard said, I frowned and shouted at him in my own head.

[Partner, the reason why you can't taste anything, I think it's because you've lost all your emotions.] I've seen many examples like yours in my past where you can't taste anything because you've lost your emotions...... ］

Instead of being annoyed by my reprimand, Fringard immediately explained to me why I couldn't taste anything.

(What?!What do you say...... I... It's because... Loss of all emotions leads to ...... Can't taste anything?)

I froze for a moment when I heard Fringard's explanation, and I was stunned by the reason Fringard was saying.

[Yes.] ］

Fringard replied briefly.

(tsk...... ）

If so... Wouldn't it be since I had regained all my emotions and my sense of taste, if it was as Fringard said... Then I'll have to find a way to recover my emotions quickly!

[Partner, if you are in a hurry to recover all your emotions, then you must find many "opportunities" to recover your emotions.] ］

Fringeld seemed to sense my inner thoughts, and he put away his usual relaxed voice and spoke solemnly to me in a stern voice.

(Opportunity? What you call the opportunity...) Exactly?)

I couldn't help but ask in confusion about what Fringard said.

[It could be life, maybe it's family, maybe it's love, maybe it's the people you're going to see in the future...... ］

In response to my inquiry, Fringgerd told me what the word "opportunity" might mean.

(I see, partner.) ）

After Fringard's explanation, I responded briefly.

[So partner...] What else do you want to ask me next?]

Fringed then asked me in my head.

(I do have a lot of questions for you, but I'll just ask one question for now.) ... Fringard... No... Partner, at that time I was still trapped in the hollow of the Lesa Yaga and exhausted when I put you on my face I heard many voices full of resentment and hatred in my head, and from these voices I learned a message...... You were supposed to be a demon in the demon clan when you were alive, right?)

I suppressed the many doubts in my mind, and among them, I chose one that had always puzzled me and asked Fringed in my head.

［...... Ha ha...... Partner, you are really careful in this regard~]

Hearing my question, I was keenly aware of the change in Fringeld's voice, from ease at first to rigor, and from rigor to a disgust for the past.

[Yes, I am a demon.] It is a demon that disgusts all races in this world...... ］

Fringard replied immediately, his voice cold and terrifying.

(Sorry, I should have asked that.) ）

I apologize to Fringgard.

[Partner, you don't need to apologize.] ］

Hearing my apology, Fringard said I didn't have to take it personally.

（...... ）

[Speaking of...] It's almost time for you to go out, and if you have anything to ask me about next time you have time, I'll ask me again. ］

Fringed said to me who didn't know what to look at at the moment, and when he had finished speaking, he fell silent.

I pushed open the bathroom door and walked out back into the living room, where Wino, Regus, and Philo were sitting at the table, having finished their lunch and were making tea.

"You've been in the bathroom for a while, what's wrong with you?" looked at Tut, who seemed a little tired, to walk out of the bathroom and return to the living room, Wino asked with concern.

"Nothing. Hearing Wino's inquiry, I walked over to a chair placed at the table, sat down, and smiled in response.

"Yes. After getting my answer, Wino, who still wanted to ask me, had to shut up and not ask me anything.

Just when I wanted to pick up a cup of tea with tea, I saw the eyes of Firo sitting on the chair opposite me signaling to me, seeing her eyes, I smiled awkwardly and nodded to her, and when Firo saw my gesture, Firo made an OK gesture to me.

"Speaking of which... Regus, Filo, why didn't you see your father and mother today?" I asked, a little curious, sitting on a chair with a cup of tea.

"My dad he went to work, mom she... I went to work at the tavern today and probably won't be back until the evening. ”

Faced with the questioning of the Tut Commander, Regus first told his father to go to work, but when he talked about his mother, his face became a little embarrassed, and even Firo, who was sitting next to him, lowered his head for some reason, but in the end he still told where his mother went to work......

(Tavern...) Going to work? Is that the ...... ）

Vino, who was sitting next to me, saw the expressions on Regus and Firo's faces, and she turned her head to look at me and glared at me dissatisfiedly, and I had to show an apologetic expression when I saw her glare at me.

"I'm sorry, but it looks like I'm asking something I shouldn't have asked. I watched as Regus and Philo apologized to the siblings in a calm voice.

"Captain Tut, you don't need to apologize, aren't we friends?" Regus said to me with a anxious expression when he heard my apology.

"Well, that's right. We are friends, and you are the first friend I have ever made in the orc race. I nodded in the affirmative when I heard what Regus said.

Regus, who had been looking very anxious, heard me say this, and the anxiety on his face disappeared in the next second, and instead of the anxious, he only smiled calmly at his friends.

"Captain Tut, is the wound on your left shoulder healed?" Firo, who was sitting on the side, asked Captain Tut with concern, who was still chatting with his brother.

"Okay. "Hearing Firo's question, I moved my left hand in front of Regus and Firo, and smiled and signaled to them, 'The injuries I had suffered by that time had healed.'

"Wow?!Captain Tut's body is really strong, and it only took a few days for such a serious wound to heal... It's incredible!" Seeing Captain Tut move his left hand easily, Firo was instantly stunned, and she said to Captain Tut with an expression of disbelief on her face.

"Firo, you're so rude!"

Hearing his sister's rude words to the Tut Warrior Commander out of surprise, Regus immediately scolded Firo in a low voice.

"It's alright, Regus. I waved to Regus to the left, indicating that there was nothing rude about what Philo had just said.

"But ......"

"Okay~"

Just when Regus was about to say what Firo had just said was inappropriate, Vino, who was sitting next to me, clapped his hands and motioned for Regus to calm down, and Regus had to close his mouth and look at Wino quietly......

At the next table, we discussed a lot of different topics;

Wino asks Reggs if he trains every day according to what she taught him?, and in response to Wino's sister's question, Regus says that he trains every day.

The well-behaved Fei Luo praised Sister Wino with a garland on her head for being very cute~ Hearing the praise of Fei Luo, who was much younger than herself, Vino blushed because she was embarrassed......

Wino, Regus, and Philo then discussed my race, the Goblins. Interested, they asked me what the city was like in the Goblin Clan, and in the face of the three of them, I had to tell them what was inside the city of "Main City Kejie", and I heard a description of "Kejie City", and the three of them nodded in unison to indicate that they already understood. Even though my race, the Goblin Clan's Kejie City, is only half the size of the Orc Manya Ancient City, Wino, Reggus, and Firo have told me that they want to visit Kejie City if they have the opportunity in the future.

As the conversation progressed, I chatted with Wino, Regus, and Firo about several different topics, and after chatting about these different topics, Regus and Firo looked at me at the same time, and it seemed that they wanted to ask me or Wino some important questions.

"Captain Tut, how long will it be before you leave the Orcs?" Regus, who had been struggling for a long time, suddenly asked his first friend, Captain Tut.

"In a few days, I'll be leaving the orcs. ”

I don't know how many times I've been asked this question, but I told the siblings Regus and Firo, as usual, when I was leaving.

"That's ......"

Hearing Captain Tut's reply, Regus nodded in understanding, but Firo, who was sitting next to Regus and learned the news, had a lonely expression on her face.

Seeing the lonely expression on Firo's face, I didn't know what words to say to comfort her for a while.

"By the way, if I have time in the few days I haven't left, I'll come back to your house. When the time comes, Philo must cook for me~" Sitting on the chair expressionlessly, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my mind, I looked at Philo and then looked at Regus to say what I wanted to say to their brother and sister.

"Well, okay!"

Hearing what Captain Tut said to herself, Firo, who originally had a lonely look on her face, became happy in the next second, and she happily agreed to Captain Tut, and Regus, who was sitting next to her sister, also smiled happily when she saw this.

It's just that Vino's face sitting next to me is not so good, and with a kind face, she silently leaned into my ear and said to me slightly: "I will also cook for you~"

I swallowed when I heard Wino say something in my ear......

(Did she say she was jealous?)

I looked at Wino's side face and thought to myself.

"It's not too early, Regus, Philo, Tut and I leave first. ”

Just when I was thinking to myself whether Wino was jealous or not, Wino took my left hand with her right hand and stood up the next second, and I stood up, she pointed to the sky outside the window with her left thumb, and explained to Regus and Philo that it was not too early, and she and I were going to leave first.

"Okay. Hearing what Sister Wino said, Regus nodded and didn't say anything more.

"Regus, Philo, thank you for hosting us to lunch, goodbye. After Wino said this to Regus and Philo, she took my hand and walked towards the door, and when she reached the door, she pushed the door open and walked out.

Seeing the two who were about to step out of their house, Philo hurriedly chased after them, as if he wanted to send them off, Regus saw the scene of his sister chasing out, he slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, and then walked into the kitchen and began to wash dishes.

"Captain Tut, Sister Wino, I'll send you. After catching up with Captain Tut and Sister Wino, Firo said with a polite smile.

"Thank you, but you better go back. Looking at the rabbit girl who was younger than herself, Wino waved her hand and said goodbye.

"Philo, I'll still be coming to your house. I was holding Wino's hand and looked at Philo and smiled and said this to her.

"You're almost ......"

"Hmm!"

Vino, who was holding my hand, turned unhappy when she heard what I said, and when she wanted to say something to me, Firo smiled at me and Wino in the purest way... This smile was full of joy, happiness and anticipation, and seeing this expression on Fei Luo's face, Wino had to close her mouth for a while.

"Then we're leaving. ”

"Okay!"

Firo looked intently at the two who were walking forward with their backs to her, and she stood there staring at the two who were important to herself, until they completely disappeared from her sight, and then Firo turned around and walked in the direction of her home......

――――

Afternoon.

A street in the ancient city of Manya.

"Where are you going next?"

Tutwiino, who looked at Tutvino walking beside her, asked expressionlessly, although she felt very uncomfortable with the incident just now, she didn't have a seizure.

"Let's go meet Temo and Gavey, shall we?" I asked tentatively.

"Okay then~" Wino gave me a blank look and responded to me with a nonchalant face.

............
