Eleonora-neesan, Not Feeling Well?

 The next day, the fragrant smell of curry awakened me in the morning. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 They probably warm up the remaining curry I made yesterday as a breakfast dish.

 Guessing that, I close my eyes trying to sleep again.

「……the smell of curry makes me hungry and can’t go to sleep again」

 Even when I close my eyes and crawl under the futon, the delicious smell can’t be evaded.

 I can feel my stomach complaining of hunger due to the smell of curry.

 There is an internal struggle in my body’s internal parameter between the desire to sleep and appetite and it was shifting towards appetite.

「I’ll wake up then」

 I can’t endure the violent smell of curry and there’s is no way to go back to sleep calmly after smelling that.

 Having decided that, I changed into casual clothes from my pajamas, washed my face in the bathroom, and headed for the dining room.

「Morning」

 Entering the dining room, I saw Elna-kaasan, Nord-tousan, and Sylvio-niisan already seated.

 The three of them opened their eyes wide as if surprised after seeing me enter. Then Elna-kaasan approached me looking worried and put her hand on my forehead.

「What’s the matter Al? Are you not feeling well? How many fingers does this look like?」

「Is it that strange for me to wake up early?」

 How rude. There are times when I wake up early even before breakfast.

「Well, you are usually late, right? Especially in winter, I wonder if Al ever woke up early?」

 Certainly, that’s true.

 The temperature is low in winter and it’s so warm inside the futon so I can’t get up no matter what. This is something unavoidable anymore.

 I’m sure that people who can fight against that are those with lacking desire to sleep.

 Moving away from Elna-kaasan who is excessively worried about me, I took a seat in my place.

「Rather than that, we are having curry from the morning?」

「Yes, we still have leftovers from yesterday and it was very delicious」

「I have heard that it was not only good with rice but also with bread, I am looking forward to it, you know」

 When I couldn’t help but ask the first question that came to my mind, Elna-kaasan and Nord-tousan excitedly responded.

 It seems like they really took a liking to the curry we ate last night.

 Oh well, I’m used to it since I’ve eaten it many times in my previous life, but I guess it’s unavoidable for people who ate it for the first time to get addicted to the flavor. Even I thought that it was fine to eat curry every day when I was a kid. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Al, I have something I am curious about can I ask you about it?」

 As I was thinking of such things, Nord-tousan asked a disturbing question.

 It’s mostly something that will be inconvenient for me if Nord-tousan were to ask like this.

「About the fact that curry will taste better if you add it to deep-fried food, right?」

「Aaah! That will definitely be delicious! I think deep-fried food and curry will go well together!」

 Mina - who is standing by - bit into the bait I threw out when I answered carelessly like that.

 It seems like she saw a strong hope of that possibility since she likes deep-fried food the most.

「That might certainly be delicious, but what I want to ask is not that」

「What is it then?」

「The ingredients for curry are the spices that came from Lazur are they not? Just how did you obtain them?」

「Now that you mentioned it, I also wonder about that. Making that kind of dish would not be enough with just one or two types of spices, I wonder where did you obtain them?」

 Oh, as expected they get to the heart of the matter.

 Well, if you used such flashy spices like that then it won’t be strange for people to be curious.

「There was a store specialized in selling Lazur spices back when we went to the royal capital and I bought some spices there」

「Is it the store near my parents’ house? 」

 It looks like Elna-kaasan immediately understood since it’s a store near her parent’s house.

「Un, that’s right」

「The spices from that store are very expensive, aren’t they? Dozens of gold coins will just fly away for a small bottle like this」

「Th, that much!?」

「That’s why, I’ve been using small amounts to study the recipe. Or rather, don’t eat if you’re gonna complain about the ingredients」

「There is no helping it if it is somewhat expensive to make such a delicious dish. As expected from my son, making such a fantastic dish」

 After saying that, Elna-kaasan made a a sudden reversal in attitude. She gave me a bright smile while stroking my head. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 It seems like a little splurging is allowed in front of a wonderful dish.

「It will be expensive when it comes to Lazur spices. I wonder if I can ask tousan to procure them cheaper?」

「Let us calm down first Elna. We naturally do not have enough money to buy up the spices from Lazur. Let us only eat curry on special days! Okay?」

 Elna-kaasan was thinking about procuring the genuine spices but then Nord-tousan stopped her with a pale face.

 Even if he’s already the head of a noble family, Nord-tousan still has the sense of a lower-middle-class person so it seems like it’s a frightening thought to have dozens of gold coins flying off for a curry.

「That’s true I guess. Still, even though we have become more financially stable it is still not a good idea to spend your money that doesn’t suit your stature」

 I can actually procure them directly from Lazerica using Teleport so the cost is low.

 But, I can’t say it since it’s a secret.

「I see. But, it’s that delicious so I guess it can’t be helped」

 Sylvio-niisan said bravely despite looking downhearted.

 It makes me feel guilty. I wanted to tell him that I could get those spices cheaply and clear away his clouded expression.

「How unfortunate. If only we could make curry every morning, we would be able to wake up Alfried-sama regularly with the smell……」

 Sara muttered with a really disappointed expression while coming to serve us tea.

「How about we dry the curry sauce and preserve it in powdered form? Then we can put that close to Al’s nose when he sleeps」

「I would like to try that if you allow me to」

「I allow it」

「Please stop using the curry in such a strange way, okay?」

 I reflexively retort to Sara and Elna-kaasan as they were trying to do something disturbing.

 Don’t use food wastefully. Curry powder shouldn’t be used like that.

「Even so, today Eleonora is late, is she not?」

 Usually, Eleonora-neesan wakes up immediately in the morning. Mostly doing a self-practice or spending her time relaxing in the living room or dining room. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Is Eleonora going to do a self-practice?」

「No, I have not seen her go outside」

「Her shoes are also still at the entrance」

 Sara and Mina shook their heads when Nord-tousan asked.

 It looks like there’s no doubt she has not gone outside.

「I wonder if she’s maintaining her sword in her room?」

「There was a time when she was maintaining her leather armor and she became late, didn’t she」

 Even though their daughter is a young woman already, it’s pretty bad when they don’t think along the lines of ‘she didn’t take some time to prepare herself’.

 What do you think about a girl who wakes up in the morning and maintains her weapon and armor the first thing she wakes up?

「Al, please take a look at Eleonora」

「Ehー? Why me?」

 When I raised my voice in protest, Elna-kaasan gave me a stare.

「You often repeat this kind of exchange with Eleonora did you not? So I wonder if you come to to understand our feelings?」

「Okay fine. I’ll go look」

 If you say it like that, then it seemed like I have no rights at all since I was woken up every morning.

 I was about to stand up from my seat without opposing, but then the dining room door opened.

 Looking in that direction, there was Eleonora-neesan entering the room.

「Whaat, she woke up even without me coming to get her」

 It looks like I don’t have to go and wake her up. I lowered my waist that I had lifted and sat back down.

「「Morning」」

「……morning」

 When we greeted her together, Eleonora-neesan replied with a voice lacking in energy.

 Everyone was surprised at her answer. Eleonora-neesan is very lively in the morning so she probably doesn’t to go back to sleep.

 However, the steps when she comes this way are really heavy. There’s also no vigor in her expression and it looks like she’s very listless. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 And as soon as Eleonora-neesan took a seat, she slumped down on the table.

 Seeing her appearance that was lacking in energy, unlike her usual self, not only me but I knew that I was not the only one bewildered by this situation.

「Eleonora, you do not seem well, what happened?」

「……lately, my body has been feeling heavy……」

 My heart skipped a beat when I heard Eleonora-neesan’s listless words. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
