I didn’t want to drink the serpent wine
“Well, at least they gave us a lot of food. Perhaps a little too much.”
“Indeed. I was thinking about buying so from them, but there is no need for that now. As for the amount…we are three n, so we should be able to finish it.”
“It is all food that is grown here. Let’s take it with gratitude.”
“Old people really like feeding youngsters. They often give food as well.”
Aside from the farm produce, Ms. Delia also brought blocks of orc at as well.
There was so much that it looked like we would not have to worry about food during our stay.
“While the food is nice. I am not so sure about the wine…”
“You really should have just accepted it… Though, the appearance was a little intimidating.”
“Phillip just really likes to drink. I would have hesitated as well.”
“Ms. Delia. Do they really enjoy drinking that stuff?”
“Yes. I was scared when I first saw it as well… In fact, I burst into tears when I was a child. But I got used to it now.”
“Yes, that would make children cry. I would not want to show it to Tilura or Liza.”
There was also konjac and smoked at. However, so of the old n asked us if we liked to drink, and then they brought so bottles.
They appeared to be wine…which had chopped up serpent pieces inside.
I had heard that such things were done to preserve them, but I had never heard of it being done with wine… It looked like a serpent in blood.
There were so bottles that had a whole serpent inside, and its eyes were open.
Apparently, the poison sacs were washed out first, so that after a few days in the wine, they gave your tongue a pleasant tingle.
Regardless, I did not feel like drinking it. Only Phillip seed like he wanted to taste it.
“Um… Mr. Takumi?”
“What is it, Ms. Delia?”
As I was thinking about the serpent wine, Ms. Delia suddenly looked at hesitantly.
Was sothing wrong?
“Um, if it is not too much trouble. Could I join you for dinner?”
“Ah, we don’t mind at all. It is better to eat with more people.”
“Yes, yes. It will be nice to have a woman around.”
“Th-thank you!”
Ms. Delia wanted to eat with us, just as we had during lunch ti.
I suppose she was lonely, as she usually ate alone in her house… Well, I’m sure she could eat with the other villagers sotis.
Regardless, her face lit up and she smiled with a bow when we gave our permission.
After that, we started preparations for dinner.
It was my job to get the water, which I wanted to finish before the sun set completely. It took a lot of energy, but I will do my best…
“Hah… I ate a lot. Ms. Delia, is a very good cook… I suppose it’s because she has to cook for herself. She is so different from .”
After eating dinner, I returned to my room and muttered to myself.
Ms. Delia had helped Nicholas with the cooking.
When I lived alone, I did not have enough ti to cook. So she was much better than . Nicholas was very serious, and carefully asured all of the ingredients, but she worked quickly and asured by sight alone. But the results were still delicious.
That was proof that she was used to cooking.
