Episode 324: The Lavender Barony is Strange
“Tea”
“……I humbly receive.”
At the terrace of the Lavender Barony’s mansion, Rest was having tea while facing Urula.
The tea poured into the teacup was black tea with a rich aroma.
It felt like the flavor was subtly different from the black tea Rest had drunk so far.
“It’s a unique black tea. I don’t dislike it though.”
“Empire.”
“Ah… You mean it’s from the Empire?”
“Yes.”
“It seems like you’re getting along well with the Empire. That’s a bit unexpected.”
“Hmm… Changed.”
Changed. What changed?
Did the way they associate with the Empire change?
Rest had heard that the Lavender Barony held strong hostility towards the Empire.
“No, worry.”
“You mean I don’t have to worry?”
“Hmm.”
Urula nodded.
It was reassuring, but Urula was still young, and her grandfather, the head of the family, was rumored to be a stubborn man. Could things really go that smoothly?
“More importantly…”
“Ah, you mean to eat the sweets. Of course, I will.”
“Hmm.”
Urula pushed the plate of cookies towards Rest.
It felt like she was saying, “Let’s not talk about difficult things and enjoy tea time together.”
(She’s not a bad kid after all… I feel like I understand what she wants to say more than before.)
Urula doesn’t speak much and her expressions are scarce, but… she’s basically a person with common sense.
She has a much more normal way of thinking than Yuri, who you never know what she’ll do.
(Maybe I don’t need to think about it so hard… at least, not about this girl.)
“Oh?”
Rest took a bite of the cookie as he was told, and his eyes widened.
“This is… could it be, azuki bean?”
It was a familiar taste.
There was anko (azuki bean paste) between the cookies, and it tasted like azuki beans.
“Empire.”
“Is this also from the Empire? Could it be that there are Japanese people there too…?”
“Nihon?”
“Ah, sorry. I said something unnecessary… It tasted like a sweet I ate a long time ago, so I got nostalgic and just…”
He took another cookie and crunched it.
The sweetness of the anko spread in his mouth. The flavor of azuki beans.
Memories of when he was Japanese came back to him.
(The wagashi shop near my house, their manju was delicious…)
It seems that there are many reincarnators from the other side in this world, including the Queen Dowager.
Perhaps it was also a reincarnator who spread this azuki bean sweet in the Empire.
“Like… take?”
“You’ll let me take some as a souvenir?”
“Hmm.”
“I’m happy, but… isn’t this expensive? I’ll pay for it properly.”
The fact that it’s not available in this country means that it has a high scarcity value.
Just like distilled liquor hasn’t spread in the Aiwood Kingdom, perhaps the manufacturing method is also kept secret.
“Okay… but.”
“But? Is there a condition?”
“………Ahhn.”
“Huh?”
Urula opened her mouth and closed her eyes.
Rest tilted his head at the mysterious gesture, but… he soon understood the intention.
“Could it be… you want me to feed you?”
“Ahhn.”
“…………”
In short, she wanted him to say “ahhn.”
Urula, who was waiting with her mouth wide open, looked like a chick waiting for food.
“……Ahhn.”
“Ahhn.”
“Whoa!”
As he offered the cookie as he was told, Urula gobbled it up.
She ended up licking the cookie, and even Rest’s finger.
Urula’s tongue licked Rest’s finger with a soft touch, sucking and smacking… Rest hurriedly pulled his hand away.
“Yummy.”
“…………That’s good.”
“Return.”
This time, Urula offered a cookie.
“…I’m not going to lick it.”
“Hmm.”
“Muggu…”
Urula pushed the cookie, along with her finger, into his mouth as if there was no room for argument.
(Why am I doing this…?)
He thought he had understood her to some extent, but… perhaps Rest still didn’t know anything about the girl named Urula Lavender.
Urula’s finger, which was pushed into his mouth, had a gentle ogura flavor.
