"So, it's true..."

That's why it felt a bit strange, but...

“Why did we suddenly change tables, was the previous one broken?”

Yes, that is quite strange.

In response, Duke Delance just waved his hand.

“It's not that, it's just that Anna felt that if it was the original table, Amagi would feel a bit uncomfortable, so she intentionally switched to this slightly smaller table. After all, there are only a few of us. Well, no matter what, Amagi saved Anna's life, so I don't find it troublesome, and besides, Anna rarely does things like this with such care, so I also…”

Duke Delance was abruptly interrupted by his daughter.

“Father…”

And not to mention the complaining look she gave.

“…”

Duke Delance was speechless instantly.

“I'm very sorry, my father is always like this, I hope Mr. Ryuto doesn't mind.”

As Delance Anna turned towards Ryuto and apologized.

“No, it's nothing.”

“Is that so... That's good then.”

Then, Delance Anna spoke up again.

“Since I wasn't sure of Mr. Ryuto's tastes, I could only try making these. I hope it's okay…”

“Ah, it's no problem, it suits my taste very well.”

“Is that so…”

While smiling with relief...

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—

In the next instant, Ryuto's plate suddenly had a heap of things.

“Huh?”

...

Damn, this speed, I can barely see it, how many years did he practice this?

Seeing the mountain of food in front of him, Ryuto silently commented.

“I hope Mr. Ryuto will try them.”

Delance Anna added finally.

“Yes, Amagi, this was made specifically for you by Anna, if you don't try it…”

Duke Delance stopped mid-sentence. As for the reason...

It's the same as before, well, isn't there a saying that history often repeats itself?

Delance Anna turned her head back.

“This is also a form of gratitude, Mr. Ryuto's life-saving grace is something we can never repay.”

“It's not that extravagant...”

Although Ryuto said so, it seemed the other party didn't take it to heart.

“So, I hope Mr. Ryuto will accept.”

“…”

Since the other party put it that way, Ryuto couldn't refuse.

So Ryuto looked at the food on the table again.

...

Isn't this too much, can't we take it slowly? And, it fits my taste too well, just trying to prepare something, why is it so much to my liking, it's a bit...

Well, never mind.

Seems like I accidentally saved a really grateful person.

Ryuto looked at the mountain of food before him and let out a bitter smile.

“Amagi, are you going to do that thing this afternoon?”

After finishing the meal, Duke Delance asked Ryuto.

“Ah, that's right.”

Although it was vague, Ryuto understood.

“It's already 11:30 now, although we had lunch a bit early, if we delay, it might not be enough time.”

“That's true, besides, I don't even know the details.”

“I will explain that to Mr. Amagi later.”

Crepes Clair explained.

“Is that so? That's good.”

“But before that, I have some things to discuss with Captain Crepes, Anna, can you take Amagi to another room?”

“Yes.”

She nodded and turned her head.

“So, Mr. Ryuto, please come to my room.”

She said in a very calm manner.

“Uh…”

Wasn't it going to another room? Why did it change to your room instead? This logic...

Well, let's just ignore it, it feels like I can't really communicate with her, and this is the enemy's headquarters, better not refuse casually.

“Ah, alright then.”
