If not, I would just have to make one.

"I never thought that I would be able to have a meal like this while traveling."

Cliff said while I was figuring out tomorrow’s menu.

"Yuna-san, this is delicious."

Noa said while eating happily.

"There’s more, so let me know if you want seconds, okay?"

"Okay. Can I have some more soup, then?"

As I poured some more soup into Noa’s bowl, one of the guards looked at me.

"Yuna-dono, if I may, I would like some more of this delicious bread."

"I would like some more as well, please."

The two guards asked timidly.

Morin-san’s bread was delicious indeed.

I gave the guards some more bread.

"Big Sis Yuna, can I have some more soup too?"

"Sure thing. Fina, you should eat more, or you won’t grow up to be as big as me, okay?"

When I said that, the atmosphere in the room changed. Like, it got quiet. It felt strange, as if everybody was wanting to say something, but didn’t know if they really should.

Had I said something weird?

That atmosphere lasted until Fina finally responded.

"Y-yeah. I will eat a lot and grow up to be big like you, Big Sis Yuna."

"Here’s more bread for you, then."

I gave her some more soup and bread.

"Thank you, Bi-Big Sis Yuna."

"Does anyone else want seconds?"

"Yes, I will have some."

"Here, have some soup."

The strange atmosphere finally disappeared, and everyone got a second serving.

Once our stomachs were full, I was able to sit down and rest.

"I’m getting sleepy now that I’m full."

"Me too."

Fina and Noa said, both looking quite sleepy indeed.

"Take a bath before you go to bed, okay?"

"Okay…"

"Okay."

The two of them replied sleepily.

On our way to the capital, I had made sure that they had taken a bath, so they shouldn’t find it weird taking one now. However, there were still some people here who found it strange.

"There’s a bath here?"

Cliff asked me.

"This is a house, so isn’t it normal to have a bath?"

"Well, that’s true, but this is still different, right?"

Cliff asked and looked around to see if anybody else agreed with him.

"Father, any house would have a bath."

Noa disagreed with him. Fina also nodded in agreement to her statement.

The two guards didn’t look convinced, though.

"Besides, you can’t clean yourself and relax after a day’s journey if you don’t take a bath."
