Chapter 313: Drink in Moderation
After leaving the dining room, it was me, Rosalia, Mira, Cain-niisan, and sister-in-law Mika. It seems the two of them were also categorized as “children.” They both had similar expressions on their faces.
“I didn’t expect us to be kicked out too, even with Julius and Rosalia.”
“It can’t be helped, Cain. We’re not adults yet.”
“Yeah, it can’t be helped.”
Maybe they wanted to have a drink or two? Sister-in-law Mika looked a bit disappointed as well. I tried to comfort Cain-niisan and sister-in-law Mika along with Rosalia and Mira.
“Let’s save the enjoyment until we’re adults.”
“Yes, enjoyment should be saved for later.”
“Kyuu.”
“That’s right.”
“Yes.”
It seems they were somewhat satisfied with that. Ah, Rosalia is looking sleepy. I need to get her to the bath and bed soon. I greeted my siblings and left Rosalia in the care of the servants.
Lelie is doing her best, but if Rosalia is sleepy, Lelie, who is of the same age, must be tired too.
Back in my room, I told Nero to “prepare my room for sleeping” and then dismissed him. I immediately contacted Fabienne. I informed her about the small celebration we had and that we would visit her soon.
“I’m relieved to hear you returned safely. You can come visit anytime. Winter preparations have fully started, and there are no plans for outings or visitors at the moment.”
“That’s convenient. I’ll plan to visit before the snow gets too deep.”
That’s settled. Now I just need to prepare the gift. Well, it’s really just about wrapping the present. Next, I need to decide on the date for the visit. Just then, Nero came back, so I decided to ask him.
“Nero, I’m thinking of visiting Miss Fabienne soon. When would be a good time?”
“Let’s see.”
Nero flipped through his planner. It’s clear he’s become my dedicated butler. I’m going to rely on him a lot.
“I think this weekend would be good. Since the investigation has made studying time less consistent, it’s necessary to make up for it. If it starts snowing, the teachers won’t be able to come here either.”
“Ah, that makes sense. Alright, then I’ll ask Father to schedule it for that date.”
I wrote a letter to Fabienne while waiting for my turn in the bath.
The next morning, no one was at the breakfast table. The only ones present were Cain-niisan, Rosalia, and sister-in-law Mika. Of course, Mira was also on my lap. Just how late did they drink last night?
As I was wryly smiling, the chefs, with their energetic faces, brought the breakfast with brisk movements. It seems the low-level recovery potion is working. I’m glad I handed it out.
“Julius, what do you think?”
“It seems like it would be better to drink in moderation. It was supposed to be a small celebration, wasn’t it?”
“I heard that too.”
It seems that everyone is still asleep. They might not wake up until after noon. The tutor arrives in the afternoon, so before then, I need to prepare the gifts, visit the training grounds, and talk to Giles and Christopher about the current investigation.
“Will we be able to do proper training today?”
“…Since they were also drinking, it might not be possible.”
“What are you planning to do if something comes up?”
Cain-niisan seemed exasperated. He’s right. How did it come to this? In winter, this area becomes immobile due to snow, so it’s relatively safe, but we shouldn’t let our guard down.
I’ll need to have a serious talk with Father and the others later. They might respond if it comes from their child.
While eating breakfast, the head chef came to thank me for the potion. It seems last night was quite a battleground. According to the head chef, it was probably meant to be the last supper before hibernating for winter.
“I’m glad the potion I handed out was useful.”
“Yes. Without it, things would have been quite a mess.”
The head chef smiled wryly. It’s probably the sentiment of all the chefs. It might be a good idea to bring them some supplies soon. Since proper training doesn’t seem possible this morning, maybe I’ll make some potions.
“Julius, what kind of potion did you give them?”
“Ah, well…”
What should I do? If I mention the low-level recovery potion here, Sister-in-law Mika might say she wants to drink it too.
Not noticing my hesitation, Cain-niisan started speaking proudly.
“Maybe you’re talking about the basic stamina recovery potion. It’s a great magic potion, you know.”
“Well, did Cain-sama drink it too?”
“Of course. I had one after finishing a job with the expedition team. The fatigue just disappeared instantly after drinking it.”
Cain-niisan, who seemed to be recalling that moment, closed his eyes and looked up at the sky. His mouth was twisted in a lazy grin. If you look like that, even a century-long romance will cool down.
“Julius-chan, I’d like to drink some too.”
Sister-in-law Mika probably remembered the fizz of the basic stamina recovery potion. She started begging. However, as a potion maker, I can’t recommend unnecessary consumption of magic potions.
“Sister-in-law Mika, you’re not tired, are you? You should only drink it when necessary.”
“Well, that’s true. In that case, since I’ll be tired after training, can I drink it then?”
She clasped her hands and looked at me with sparkling eyes full of expectation. I can’t refuse this. It’s okay if it’s after training, right?
“Alright. However, since it’s not unlimited, please make it just this once.”
“Huh? But don’t we regularly deliver that potion to the knights’ order? I heard about that recently. Doesn’t that mean there’s a lot of it?”
Cain-niisan tilted his head. Damn, unnecessary information.
