Chapter 92

Three adults finished their meals, and shortly after, young Ludwig finished the leftovers. Finally, I also finished my meal.

The carpaccio with plenty of fish and vegetables was refreshing and delicious, with a dressing that had a nice accent of lemon and herbs. The mushroom potage was rich in mushroom flavor and the gentle sweetness of milk went well with the bread. The grilled chicken was tender and juicy, and the two types of sweet potatoes with sauce had different textures and flavors, making them very delicious!

With this menu, I'm confident that both red and white wine would go perfectly. In fact, the two adult men enjoyed both red and white wines leisurely after their conversation, pairing them with the dishes. Ludwig had red, and Rin had only white. ...I, being a child, of course, had water instead of alcohol. Oh well.

But, the natural water in the Magic Continent is really delicious. It's wonderful that the water is so good! Water is the foundation of everything, after all.

However, I'm curious about the taste of the wine from the Magic Continent. The taste must vary by region, right? I bet there are sparkling wines, ice wines, and noble rot wines too. Oh, I'd love to have just a taste.

When I grow up, I'll definitely search for various delicious drinks that suit me!

Well, that aside.

After finishing our meals, Ludwig and I carried the plates to the sink together. Rin was to wash the dishes, and Ludwig was to dry them, so my helping was no longer needed.

I really need a Pomul box to help out...

While I was making that resolution, I noticed Vincent and Seriel sitting opposite each other on the sofa, chatting casually. Seriel was sitting in a unique position, with only his left leg crossed.

Seeing that, my body moved naturally, and before I knew it, I had climbed onto Seriel's crossed left leg and sat there. It was like my butt fit perfectly, and it felt very comfortable.

I curled up without thinking, then suddenly came to my senses.

Looking up cautiously, I saw Vincent and Seriel's stunned expressions.

"Whoa?!"

"......"

Despite my own surprise, Seriel patted my head gently. At the same time, I was enveloped in a warm, veil-like light, and the strange comfort and sense of security made my surprise fade away.

While I was in a daze, I could hear a conversation starting above me, but the voices were muffled as if there was a wall between us. Seriel's warmth helped me sink into a state similar to the drowsiness before waking up. No, it was more like the relaxed feeling of soaking in a hot spring.

After a while, the light veil gradually faded, and my consciousness and senses became clear again.

When the light completely disappeared, I blinked at the first mysterious experience, and I saw Rin returning to the living room from another room.

"Alright, we should be going now."

At Seriel's words, Ludwig, who had somehow ended up sitting next to Vincent, chuckled.

"I couldn't play with Yurii at all."

"There will be another time."

Vincent lightly patted Ludwig's head.

"Hey, Dad."

"What, I just thought Lu had grown up."

"Of course. It would be a problem if I stayed a child forever."

While escaping Vincent's hand, Ludwig had a troubled expression. He stood up, and Seriel also stood up after placing me on the sofa.

Seeing the two heading for the entrance, Vincent and Rin followed. I quickly climbed down from the sofa and followed them.

"Bye, Lord Lu, Seriel."

Standing between Vincent and Rin as they saw them off, I waved, and Ludwig smiled and turned to say, "See you again." Seriel also showed a slightly relaxed expression.

After they left, Rin picked me up.

"Alright, Yurii, let's take a bath together."

"Bath with Mom."

At the enticing word, I smiled brightly, and the three of us returned inside after closing the front door.

Vincent and I parted ways in the living room, and I entered the already prepared bath with Rin.

Mentally, taking a bath with Rin felt completely natural and very reassuring.

And Rin's chest was amazing. Being the same gender, I was truly impressed. Large breasts, the buoyancy of the water... It's a phenomenon I never knew before. ...It's a good thing. I can enjoy it because it's someone else's.

There won't be any toys today.

I enjoyed the bath with Rin, laughing and giggling, and then we switched with Vincent for tooth brushing.

By then, I was starting to feel a bit sleepy. After all, I'm a child, and sleep is necessary for growth.

When I got into bed with Rin, the last picture book I hadn't read at noon was there.

It was a love story between a princess and a prince.

While Vincent was getting out of the bath, Rin spun the glittering world of the picture book for me.

Rin's gentle, slightly high-pitched voice narrated the meeting and the development of the love between the princess and the prince, and the story gradually turned into a dream in my mind.

Before Vincent came to the bedroom, I had fallen asleep in the middle of the story.

Perhaps because it reminded me of familiar stories like Cinderella and Snow White, it was a very fairy-tale-like dream. The scene changed to a ball dinner, and the main dish was the grilled chicken we had for dinner today.

Even in my dream, it was delicious. Indeed, it was.
