Saliroza Chapter 1 – It’s Delicious

~

~

I’m hungryー……

I return my spoon to the emptied bowl, while occasionally scattering away the bread crumbs above the table, I, haa……, breath out a sigh.

The soup which had a large amount of root vegetables and meat thrown in that was originally in the bowl, all of it had immediately settled into my stomach.

I also ate three soft white breads the size of an adult male’s clenched fist, two brown breads soaked with soup, and a fresh orange too that I earnestly skinned.1

My stomach is certainly filled.

However, ……aー, I’m hungryー……

「If you’re done eating, then move out of the way.」

I heard a voice from behind me that was motionlessly looking down on my empty soup.

The reason why that deep voice could be heard so clearly, was because the dining hall had become quiet.

I should’ve noticed the unusual atmosphere.

「Did you hear me, Saliroza Sennet.」

「……」

Tsk, I held back clicking my tongue and turned around.

The surrounding people had disappeared during the time I was slowly eating.

Although the dining hall is usually crowded there are many vacant seats right now so why does man intentionally show up at my spot and always complain at me even though you could’ve sat in any spot you liked ne, in the first place with your social status you shouldn’t be at these tables back here but the upper tables at the interior or like your big office so go have your meals over there and be lonely by yourself!2

……I slowly raised my eyes while thinking that.

「My apologies, Captain Judius.」

Judius Ellara Evi? Eva? ……Something.

Long names signifies the handful of upper cla.s.s in central city, but I don’t remember them since I’m not particularly interested in those upper cla.s.ses.

A man with golden hair without dullness tied up in a bundle hanging down his back, it’s clear he’s in a bad mood, he has blue eyes that make me think ‘if gouge them out then sell them, how much would they cost?’.3

Although he’s bony for a man, his features are separated elegantly on his beautiful face, and tanned by this remote region’s sunlight.

His tall toned figure is dressed in a black knee length sleeveless dougi and trousers, and a dark blue sleeveless coat on top4. He has a pair of rough black leather boots on his feet.

Although he’s wearing a stylish gold decorated belt around his waist above his coat, he has a simple general use long sword attached to his hip.

A bronze necklace indicating his social status shined above his chest. It has a design with three swords intersecting within a pair of wings which indicates the members of the border defence, a small round ruby glitters at the centre of the three swords which represents the highest position in this fort.

The highest position. Captain of the 5th fort in the <white>district.</white>

<white>……Uーmm, what was that other one, something like belonging to the <spiral>at Central City, he has a position but it’s obvious it’s just a t.i.tle.</spiral></white>

<white><spiral>Other than his blond hair and blue eyes, on both sides of the Captain’s beautiful face, there’s a spot near his ears that’s been covered with his long hair, that’s because there are pure white feathers there.</spiral></white>

<white><spiral>Feathers you know?</spiral></white>

<white><spiral>Feathers.</spiral></white>

<white><spiral>They’re tightly folded up along the temporal region.5</spiral></white>

<white><spiral>Although they’re the size of a child’s palm, they occasionally move restlessly showing they’re not fake.</spiral></white>

<white><spiral>What would happen to his ears……! Is what I occasionally get curious about, but they don’t get in the way.</spiral></white>

<white><spiral>Then, what would happen if they grew……! That’s because they don’t.</spiral></white>

<white><spiral>Those feathers are a symbol of descendants of a
