Nicholas looked quite shocked. However, as soon as I described it, he carefully picked up the skewers.
The other children were already grabbing their skewers and biting them as soon as I finished speaking. They must have been very hungry.
‘I should eat it too!’
What if it looks good only from the outside, but when you chew it, it is tough and has a bad smell.
But fortunately, the meat tasted really good.
The soft texture, the slightly jelly-like outer surface, and the cool juice bursting out were the best.
I was hesitant at first about whether the other children would like it or not, buy they were eating deliciously.
I also scooped up a spoonful of stew.
But I got a little confused. I didn’t know it because I hadn’t looked closely before, but there were ingredients that I had never seen before.
Something that was so thoroughly boiled that it was impossible to tell what the original form was.
What is in this stew?
I paused for a moment before bringing the spoon to my mouth.
However, unlike me, the other children were already eating the stew, which was delicious.
“Wow, this is really delicious. Salty and sweet. What do you put in it to make it taste like this?”
In particular, Cedric was already eating three bowls of it because the stew was really delicious, and it wasn’t enough to just dip bread in the stew.
‘Uh, I don’t know. Everyone eats well… Let me just eat.’
Eventually, I cleared my doubts and put the stew in my mouth.
“……”
And in the next moment, I thought it tasted good.
Most foods have a taste that is worse than the smell, but this stew has a wonderful taste that doesn’t betray the enchanting smell.
‘I think, maybe like this, what if Cedric orders another bowl of stew for himself?’
Somehow, it seemed possible.
Anyway, just as I was about to focus on my meal again, I was almost choked up by a sudden voice from nearby.
“Hey, boss! It looks like business is going really well today. Give me the usual, please.”
“Yes, I will serve you chicken and vegetable stir-fry and soup.”
It was my nanny’s voice!
‘What, what? How the hell did this happen? I thought she must be in the mansion, but did she go out to shop? And she said… ‘Give me the usual.’
Apparently, this place was Nanny’s favorite restaurant.
Ugh, I wasn’t very lucky today. I didn’t know I’ll run into someone I know like this!
‘I disguised myself as an adult today, I guess that’s a good thing.’
If it had been my original appearance, the nanny might have recognized at once that it was me just by looking at my back.
‘Hey, come to think of it, I’m wearing our house’s maid’s uniform right now, right?’
Shortly thereafter, I realized one thing and was horrified.
If the nanny recognizes this maid outfit, she may wonder why the mansion maid is in the restaurant and not in the mansion during working hours. So maybe she’ll come and talk to me.
‘No, of course I had an adult voice. Still, if it’s the nanny, she might be suspicious! First of all, the faces are almost the same.’
I quickly put back the robe that I took off on the chair.
Not only that, but my hair and hood were tightly closed so that the family emblem on the maid’s uniform could not be seen.
“Whew.”
Then I took a breather. But, one worry that comes to mind.
‘No, wait. But what if I’m the only one hiding? The nanny knows everything about my friends. What if she overheard our conversation and suspected us?’
My worries were endless.
Fortunately, the nanny didn’t sit right next to us, but it was pretty close.
In the end, I had no choice but to whisper to Jake, who was sitting right next to me.
“Hey, Jake, I think my nanny is over there. I heard her voice.”
“…Is that true?”
“Yes. That’s why I put on the robe like this. Because I can’t hide right now. So, could you whisper and tell everyone to wear their robes and be careful with what they say?”
“Okay.”
Jake answered reliably.
After a while, my request was delivered to everyone, starting with Jake, Ninaina, Nicholas, Alice, and Cedric.
Our table, which had been noisy with the sounds of exciting eating and conversations until recently, quickly fell silent.
‘Then, shouldn’t we finish our meal and leave?’
Ninaina asked me with the shape of her mouth.
I sighed for a while. Of course, I already ate everything, but…
“That won’t do. Let me just have one more bowl of stew.”
I glanced at Cedric, and, apparently, shook my head and spoke in the opposite direction.
I made a face to say he couldn’t, and in the meantime, Cedric quickly scooped out a bowl of stew and gulped it down in one shot.
“……!”
