I ate as much as possible
“Oh, so you have a taste for it!”
“Haha! I can drink even more!”
“Phillip, I don’t know it…”
“It’s fine, Nicholas. I’m just pretending, and am not actually drinking that much.”
“Hah… If you say so. But if you cause any trouble to Mr. Takumi or the others, I will let Sebastian know.”
“Gah! We-well, I will keep it moderate.”
The old n were giving Phillip more wine to drink.
And while I was a little worried, I had to deal with all the food that the old won were trying to make eat, so I just left him to Nicholas.
Even now, they were bringing more at and vegetable dishes to the table.
I wasn’t a competitive eater, but the ti may have co for to test my own limits…
“Ugh…I reached my limit.”
“Are you alright, Mr. Takumi? I’m sorry that they kept feeding you…I was not able to stop them.”
“Haha. Don’t worry, they were just trying to be nice…”
I held my stomach as I returned to the house and sat down in the dining room. I was doing my best to keep it down.
I had not been able to eat everything… Did they just like fattening up any guests that ca here? That is what I felt like.
“Takumi, perhaps you will feel better if you let it all out?”
“No, I couldn’t do that… Phew…”
Nicholas’s suggestion felt wasteful. I just needed to rest a little, and I would feel better.
I had many experiences feeling sick after drinking, and ended up throwing up. But just thinking about their faces as they brought the food, I could not treat it the sa way.
“Throwing up wine is more wasteful! No matter how much you drink… Even if it affects my training tomorrow… I would never do that…”
“Phillip, you should rest too.”
Phillip protested while getting up from his chair. But he was so unstable that he quickly sat back down.
While I wouldn’t say that he had drunk too much, it would still be best for him to rest for now.
“I would have liked to see more of the village, but it seems that a short break is in order.”
“Yes. You wouldn’t want to press yourself too hard. I have to go and et the children soon… But I could do that so other ti?”
“No, it’s fine. It’s not as if we require any looking after. We will be fine soon enough. Still, the children?”
“It is almost ti for them to be finished with their studies. The old n and won take care of them while the others are working.”
According to Ms. Delia, after the parents went out to work, the children were gathered together so that they could study. That was how they learned to read and write. It had been the sa for Ms. Delia when she was young.
They would take a break for lunch and then study again. After that, they would all play in the plaza.
While not every day, Ms. Delia tried to go there and play with them when she could.
