345,
The atmosphere was heavy, not what Cyclone wanted.
However, in order to make Eileen smile, Cyclone decided to engage in a war of words.
"Firstly, let me explain," Cyclone took the initiative as the head of the family.
"Why did it turn out like this!"
Shyly, Eileen covered her face with both hands, but she was held back by Yuna and Little Dragon, unable to escape.
"Now, with Yuna's addition, we are facing an unprecedented crisis, our roles have overlapped!!!"
Cyclone spoke seriously.
"Yuna is strong! In terms of magic and physical strength as well! This has left Little Dragon, the main warrior, and Eileen, the main mage, without a chance to shine!!"
"So that's how it is..."
As Cyclone made this statement, Yuna began to understand the situation and quickly spoke up before Cyclone could continue.
"In addition, Little Dragon has recently developed a passion for cooking, and he has become more skillful in medicinal cuisine than Eileen. This further threatens Eileen's position as the chef..."
Yuna had already grasped the entire situation, leaving Cyclone nodding with appreciation.
"I-Is that so?!"
Little Dragon looked at Cyclone in amazement, then shifted his gaze toward Eileen after seeing Cyclone's reaction.
"Is that true, Eileen?"
"N-No, it's not!"
Eileen wanted to refute.
However, Yuna threw out a remark.
"You've made Cyclone cry, don't you want to admit it now?"
Yuna stared at Eileen.
"You... are so stubborn~"
Those cold words made Eileen unable to argue further.
At that moment, Cyclone spoke up.
"Eileen, Yuna didn't say you were bad."
Cyclone put their hand on Yuna's hand, expressing gratitude for Yuna speaking from the heart.
"It's about being stubborn!"
Cyclone uttered the crucial word.
"Eileen, here, you can be as stubborn as you want!"
Yuna nodded.
"No need to endure, no need to worry, just speak your mind!"
Adding on, Cyclone moved a little closer to Eileen.
"What's wrong with being stubborn? I am your husband, and in front of me, you don't have to hold back. You can be as stubborn as you like!"
"..."
Eileen looked at everyone.
"Eileen... Eileen just wants..."
Encouraged, even though she struggled to say it, Eileen could finally speak up.
Because here, no one would blame Eileen.
Finally, Eileen understood.
"Eileen just wants... to have some value in everyone's heart..."
She said it.
As if a supporting character talking about their own pain, the words that had been kept hidden in Eileen's heart were released.
In that instant, Eileen was no longer just Eileen, but truly became a member of this family, Eileen Theodore.
"Eileen..."
Little Dragon crawled over to Eileen and hugged her.
"I'm sorry..."
"It's okay... When Little Dragon cooks, Eileen knows how happy she is."
"Oh..."
Yuna looked at the two girls hugging each other and gave Cyclone a knowing look.
Yuna, who had been saved by Eileen, also saved Cyclone this time.
Yuna tasted the feeling of saving her loved ones for the first time during this meeting.
"But..."
Without being influenced by Little Dragon and Eileen, Yuna continued.
"The problem is still unresolved."
"Yeah."
"Now that we know the problem, it's still not solved."
"How about giving up..."
"No!"
Yuna firmly vetoed Little Dragon's decision.
"Eileen also thinks we shouldn't give up."
"Eileen..."
Eileen shook her head.
"After my husband started eating Sister's medicinal food, his strength has been increasing every night. Eileen... Eileen is really conflicted."
At this moment, Eileen blushed and shook her head continuously.
"Con-conflicted?!"
A big question mark appeared above Cyclone's head.
A drop of sweat ran down Little Dragon's forehead.
"Oh... so that's the truth!"
After Yuna discovered the truth behind the situation, the family meeting came to a close.
