"How is it, Mr. Ryuto?"
"Well... Ah, it's very good, very delicious."
"Is that so..."
Delance Anna smiled slightly upon hearing this.
"Oh... Is it really that good? Since young Amagi said so, I'll have a taste too."
With a relieved expression, Viscount Delance deftly picked up his fork.
Oh...
You, were you really using me as a guinea pig just now? And now that you see it's fine, you're eating it yourself.
Ryuto couldn't hide the look of grievance in his eyes.
"Oh... it's actually good, I didn't expect Anna to do so well on her first try. Captain Crepes, come and try."
But Viscount Delance pretended not to see him, shifted his gaze elsewhere, and deliberately raised his voice to praise it.
This guy...
Ryuto resisted the urge to confront him.
A few minutes later, the cake was finished.
"Anna, it's about time for something else."
"Mm."
After this response, Delance Anna called out loudly,
"Butler Trellis."
"Yes, miss."
As the response came, the door opened again.
Immediately, Butler Trellis wheeled in a large cart covered with round iron lids. At a rough estimate, there were probably seven or eight dishes.
After everything was neatly arranged,
"Well, then, I'll leave for now."
As Butler Trellis left, he closed the door.
"Alright, everyone, dig in. This time, there's really no need to worry."
For some reason, Viscount Delance emphasized the last two words intentionally.
At the same time, Delance Anna began to uncover each of the round iron lids.
"Oh..."
Ryuto let out a slightly surprised sound.
It's not because the food inside is awful, or because it looks very appetizing, the problem isn't there, it's...
"What's wrong, Amagi?"
Apparently, noticing Ryuto's reaction, Viscount Delance inquired.
"No, how should I put it..."
Ryuto glanced at the dishes on the table with confusion.
"I mean, why are these ordinary dishes?"
Viscount Delance's words carried a hint of purposeful provocation.
"Well, kinda."
"Actually, it's nothing, even though I'm rich, it doesn't mean I must always eat extravagantly."
"But still..."
Ryuto looked again at the dishes on the table.
Even if they're not luxurious, these dishes are too plain, well, plain to the extreme. These are basically things Ryuto would eat on a regular basis. No matter how you look at it, for a nobleman, eating such plain food is too simple.
"Indeed, although I'm not picky when it comes to food, I wouldn't normally eat these, after all, these things don't seem like what an old man like me should be eating."
"So how..."
"All of these were made by Anna, in the end, just to cater to your taste, young Amagi."
"Is that so..."
Upon hearing this, Ryuto understood, because, indeed, these things were exactly what a young person like Ryuto would eat, whether it's sushi or fries...
Fries, that's quite unusual too.
"And it's been a while since I've eaten like this, trying it out occasionally isn't bad, it seems changing tables was the right choice."
Viscount Delance sighed.
"Huh? Changing tables?"
"Yes, young Amagi, you must have noticed, this table is new."
