49 – Date? – 2
“My dear, try this too.”
“No, I can eat alone—”
“My lord, I’ll give it to you too.”
“…”
As if competing with each other, they let go of the fork and munched on the food that was already in their mouths.
I couldn’t confirm it because I wasn’t even looking in the mirror, but it was clear that it was probably quite depressing.
At least that’s not the right way to eat the most expensive food in these fine dining establishments.
At least, I wondered if everyone would eat the appetizer, but after the main dish was served, Charlotte inadvertently took and ate the seafood served on a fork.
Seeing that, Serena cut the fork in her hand into two pieces.
There was no way Serena would leave Charlotte after she hit the ball, and vicious remarks such as idiots who couldn’t understand each other’s feelings and selfish bitches who didn’t know how to take care of only themselves were exchanged with excitement.
So I told Serena to do the same, and it ended up like this.
I wonder if it would be okay to just ask each other to eat, but since this was what Serena and I were planning to do when we came here, I didn’t have anything to say.
It’s because an unexpected number of people were added in the initial plan. Doing this in two is completely different from doing it in three.
Besides, since he had already started doing this once, stopping in the middle wasn’t a very good idea.
It worked before, but why not now? Because if you ask me, I’m going to have a good answer.
With that thought in mind, while chewing and swallowing a large piece of steak while smelling the smell of meat that had spread from her mouth to her nostrils, Charlotte smiled faintly.
“It’s all revealed in the expression, dear. Apparently, this is the way the meal was initially planned. There’s nothing to think hard about. Just think that one more person has been added.”

“You really know how to do mind reading with magic, don’t you?”
“How can you call her a wife if you don’t even notice the thoughts of a man who will become your husband? This is something you should simply do as a wife.”
As soon as he heard that, the fork in Serena’s hand broke into two pieces. He applied force to his fingers as he held the fork, and broke it with only his finger strength.
The piece of fork fell to the floor and made a clear, ding-gang sound.
Serena casually picked up a new one from the napkin with the spare fork and knife on top.
I don’t know if it’s because of the owner’s overflowing consideration or if they’ve always provided such a service, but it was clear that it was a very useful service.
Charlotte clicked her tongue when she saw Serena like that. It was an act close to an obvious provocation.
“It’s a year that can’t be found with dignity. You’re showing off that you haven’t learned even in a place like this.”
“I think it’s better than a paranoid, talkative bitch.”
“It’s going to happen sooner or later. Why is that a delusion?”
“So you’re going to stay like that until you’re almost 150 years old?”
For an instant, Charlotte’s eyes lit up red. The endless quarrel between the two of them from earlier ended up in a pattern.
When Charlotte provokes Serena first, Serena responds silently and then mentions her age. Then, in the end, Charlotte would have nothing to say.
24-year-old Serena is an age that can never be said to be small, but in the end, compared to Charlotte, she was like a child.
I’m on the side of saying that it’s okay if you keep your appearance young anyway, but Charlotte, the person in charge, didn’t seem to be able to go over like that no matter how many times I told her.
Anyway, I’m the eldest here, so why am I doing that?
“Aren’t you tired of it? Why are you fighting like that?”
“I’m sorry, lord.”
“Anyway, neither you nor I are bodies that do not need food. There is no reason for me to eat this.”
“Can’t you just taste it?”
“That, too, is an action that requires a taste to be savored, dear. To savor such trivial cheap food, I never thought you would have such a sadistic taste. But it doesn’t matter, I will accept you of any taste. .”
Saying that, Charlotte slightly spread the index and middle fingers of her right hand and brought them to her mouth. Suddenly, a crimson tongue slipped through her red lips, carefully licked the area around it, then disappeared again.
Seeing this, Serena’s eyes twitched, and she hurriedly snatched the forks from both of their hands to prevent them from arguing with each other.
Then, I took a bite of the steak in front of me and thrust it into both of them at the same time.
It was a very wise decision because if I did this with just one fork, there would be no doubt who would get it first, and even if I used two forks, if one of them was my fork, I would be damned to eat it with that.
Serena and Charlotte shyly opened their mouths to accept it.
After confirming that the two of them’ expressions were slowly unraveling, I put the fork down next to the original owner’s plate and returned to my seat.
I don’t know if they fight more because of me or less because of me.
“Sir, excuse me.”
At just the right time, the sliding door opened with a creak.
The owner came in first, followed by two waitresses with another plate covered with a silver dome cover in their hands and two waitresses with nothing in their hands.
The one who was not holding anything in his hand moved the dishes that were spread out on the table with quick movements.
He picked up a piece of fork that had fallen on the floor and quickly put it in his pocket, changed the napkin, and replaced the spare forks and knives on it with new ones.
After confirming that the table was adequately emptied, the other two set down the silver plates in their hands in front of Serena and Charlotte, respectively.
The dome cover opened, revealing another meat dish grilled to a golden brown with the skin.
In the middle of the plate, there was a piece of meat cut to the right thickness, with some vegetables and salt next to it. The owner gave a detailed explanation of the dishes.
It is said to be a dish prepared with a lot of expensive sauce and carefully selected top-quality ducks that cost several gold coins to buy one. As Charlotte’s expression did not change throughout the explanation, the owner’s voice also became smaller as if crawling.
“Well then. Have a happy meal.”
The door closed again. As soon as there were only three of us left in the room, Charlotte smiled at me. Serena was still blunt.
“Why didn’t you make that kind of face when people came in earlier?”
“I don’t want to die. Why do I have to show a smile like this to anyone other than you?”
“Serena and you too. You just have to sit comfortably. Don’t show your life like that.”
“Isn’t your lord at ease without any trouble? I am as usual, lord.”
Serena’s blue eyes deepened.
“And just in case, if those bitches even brushed against my master’s body, I can’t relax because I have to slaughter them right away.”
The contents revealed on the outside were bloody, but the inside was even more bloody.
If you take what Serena just said, it means that I’m always in the mood to blow my neck off the spot the moment someone brushes against me.
That’s what the usual Serena means.
“……Serena.”
“Speak, lord.”
“It’s not like that.”
I don’t think it was to this extent when I was with you in the past. What is it, did you pass it on to Charlotte?
“Haona-“
“This is an order from your lord. Don’t do it.”
As I flinched, I lowered my voice and emphasized the word lord as I pushed forward, and Serena’s cheeks turned red.
This is to ensure a master-servant relationship, so considering Serena’s personality, such a reaction would be natural. Then, he bowed his head and gave an example.
“My lord’s order, I will surely obey.”
After checking Serena’s reaction, I turned my head to Charlotte this time. As expected, there was Charlotte staring at me with a sullen face as I expected.
“My dear.”
“I’m listening.”
“Do the same for me.”
“What?”
“Don’t you know? This is an order from your king, Charlotte de Gargantua.”
“When did you say you were a woman before you were a Gargantua?”
“Then I’ll change my words. Think of it as an angst run by a jealous woman.”
Charlotte’s voice turned sweet.
After restraining Serena, who reacted instinctively to the voice, with a wink, I looked at Charlotte, who was smirking as if she had noticed that I was going to listen to her after examining my attitude.
“What do you want me to do?”
“If possible, wouldn’t it be better to use words that remind us of our relationship?”
Serena was keen to do something to Charlotte here, but she couldn’t help it.
Charlotte seemed to have taken my restraining Serena by mentioning her master-servant relationship as a special expression, and was demanding the same for herself.
I just thought that Serena would literally cut her throat if she brushed against me, so I stopped it, but since Charlotte accepted it that way, what can I do?
Let’s just hope Serena and Charlotte don’t growl again after we do this.
While thinking about what to say in my head, I suddenly came up with one and met Charlotte’s eyes. His eyes were full of anticipation.
“Charlotte.”
“I am listening.”
Watching Charlotte deliberately change the subject and repeat the conversation, she calmly opened her mouth.
“As a colleague of yours, I’m asking you. Don’t do it either.”
What do you mean not to do? There was no return of such a question. This was the answer I could come up with in my head.
Almost the only answer that satisfies Charlotte at the same time, speaking almost the same as Serena.
Maybe a few more would come out if I wrapped my hair a little more, but right now there was no other option than this.
It was a title from the days when Charlotte and I were the only fellow adventurers, now in the distant past. Charlotte put her chin on her face and smiled at me, unable to hide her joy.
“That’s right.”
