Chapter 686
Ms. Lugretta dealt with them
“Ms. Lugretta?” 𝓃ℴ𝓿ℯ𝓵ℯ𝓪𝓈𝓉.𝓬ℴ𝓂
“Let us leave them here so that they will be sorry. Please, pay them no mind and focus on the cooking.”
“Uh, alright…”
I had heard a scream, and so when I went to look, I saw that Mr. Euto and Mr. Ekenhart had fallen into the pile of logs and branches.
Apparently, they had been snitching food, and so Ms. Lugretta had deposited the wood on top of them. I had no idea how she was able to carry so much.
“Hah. We’re finally finished. Everyone, thank you for your help!”
“And thank you, Mr. Takumi!”
“We are used to working together to make food for the village like this. But you must be quite tired, Mr. Takumi?”
“Haha. I guess I am a little tired. But don’t worry, I train a lot, so I will be fine.” 𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒆𝙖𝙨𝙩.𝙘𝒐𝙢
“I see. I wish my husband would train as well.”
Everyone was smiling with looks of accomplishment… Yes, and no one was injured. That was good.
And so I took Liza and Rosalie and we joined the others.
“Thank you for cooking, Mr. Takumi.”
“Wuff! Wuff!”
“We managed to make enough for everyone. …You two look a little tired?”
We went to the large table that had been prepared, and then Claire and the others stood up to greet us.
Except for the two that had caused a scene earlier. They were leaning over the table and looked tired.
“I made sure to scold them for you. Mr. Takumi and the people of the village were working hard to prepare this food, and should not have been bothered.”
“Really, father… It was probably your idea, wasn’t it?”
“Claire…no, it wasn’t me…”
“Don’t try to deny it, Hart. It is too late for us…”
Mr. Euto clearly just wanted to hide his own guilt… Though they behaved rudely, it was really not a big deal.
“In any case, since the food is ready, let us eat it before it gets cold.”
Mr. Ekenhart said, trying to change the subject.
Claire looked at him and sighed.
“Here you are, Lord Euto.”
“Yes. Let’s eat then.”
“…Why does mine look a little misshapen?”
As everyone started to eat their food, Ms. Anne muttered as she looked at her plate.
She seemed much better since I last saw her. I didn’t know if it was due to her personality, or because of Claire’s help. But I was glad of it. I suppose it was also because she expected it to happen.
“Ah, that one was made by Liza. While this is her second time, it was still not perfect…”
“I wanted to cheer you up with some food… I’m sorry…”
Apparently, Liza had noticed that Ms. Anne had not been herself earlier.
Usually she would pat Liza on the head or play with Sherry. But she had not done that at all…
And so not only had Liza shaped the patties, but she also cooked them for Ms. Anne. She even put the burger together and served it on the plate. She must have really been worried….
