Dinner With Gideon
Author Note :
I started a new work!
『Skill Tree Unlocker～ I Was Kicked Out From An A-Rank Party So I Make The Most Of My 【 Lock & Unlock】 Skill To Aim For S-Rank～』
https://ncode.syosetu.com/n2693io/
It is an isekai adventure story about someone who can unlock his own skill tree to gain new skills or lock the opponent’s skill to disable them.
As we made our way to the dining room, the Misfid house members were already seated in the same order as the time we had our first meal together. If there is one difference, then it would be the fact that Gideon-sama sitting beside Schugel with his arms crossed.
Once we took our seats, Schugel opened his mouth and said. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Allow me to introduce you, although late. This is my son, Gideon」
「I am Gideon Misfid」
Normally, one would say some fixed phrases like ‘I apologize for the late greeting’ or something, but no such phrases came out of Gideon’s mouth.
Schugel poked him, as though to ask Gideon for better greetings, but Gideon only furrowed his brows.
「Pleased to meet you, I am Nord Slowlett」
「I am his wife Elna」
「I am the second son of Slowlett house, Alfried」
Without caring about Gideon’s unfriendly attitude, Nord-tousan and Elna-kaasan introduced themselves, I also introduced myself last.
Even after meeting and introducing each other, the main people interacting are Schugel, Gideon, Nord-tousan, and Elna-kaasan.
As the young children like me, Ra-chan, and Shelka, we only threw some proper reply once in a while and answered the occasional question thrown at us. It’s really easy. Let’s leave the proactive interaction to the four of them.
After the brief introduction was over, the maids pushed the wagons into the room and placed the food on the table.
Even though we started with spinach potage, a salad of wild vegetables, and Japanese halfbeak-like fish, the meal this time had a French-ish atmosphere with dishes such as the sirloin steak and white fish meuniere.
This is kinda fresh for me since I don’t even get this kind of meal that much even back in our mansion.
After raising our glasses to make a toast just like on our first day, I immediately reached out for a spoon.
The first thing I tasted was the spinach potage.
Even when I tried to scoop it with the spoon, I could see its pretty green color.
When I bring it to my mouth, the flavor of spinach tickles my nose.
It has a rich flavor and you can clearly taste the sweetness and umami from the spinach.
It doesn’t smell raw and easy to eat which is probably because onions, potatoes, and other ingredients are well-mixed inside the dish. The strong sweetness from the vegetables spreads inside my mouth.
When I eat delicious things, somehow my heart also becomes happy. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Elna-dono was an active magician, right?」
As I was leisurely enjoying the spinach potage, Gideon spoke to Elna-kaasan.
I thought he was the type who doesn’t have any interest in other people, but it’s unusual for him to ask questions himself.
「Yes, I used to be an adventurer. But now I am pretty much retired from being one」
Maybe because of her interaction with nobles of high rank that Elna-kaasan responded modestly.
Even while she said that, she previously defeated Eleonora-neesan only with a cane technique (joujutsu) without using magic. She’s just being modest, but there is no doubt she would be able to perform as a first-rate magician.
「What about your magic attribute?」
「It is Fire and Water attributes. What about Gideon-sama?」
「It is three attributes of Fire, Water, and Wind」
「It is amazing you can use three attributes」
「This much is obvious if you were born into the Misfid house」
Elna-kaasan was responding with a gentle smile on her face, but I’m sure she found it troublesome deep down. I mean, dealing with high-ranking nobles is probably the thing she’s not very good at.
「Does Shelka-sama and Ranna-sama is able to use three attributes?」
I guess he sensed his wife's inner thoughts since Nord-tousan stepped in to help.
Nord-tousan must be popular because he can quickly do something like that.
「Mine is Fire, Wind, and Water」
「Ummー, I can use Wind, Earth, and Non-attribute magic!」
When Nord-tousan brought up the topic to them, Shelka and Ra-chan stopped moving their hands to eat and answered. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
The way the conversation is going, it looks like I will be next. This is bad.
Gideon and the others take pride in being able to use three attributes and talk with pride.
If they know that I can use more than three attributes now, it might even be perceived as us trying to assert dominance over them.
It’s going to end up making me get involved in something troublesome so let’s spread an aura of ‘please don’t drag me into this’ while concentrating on my meal.
Enjoy the wild plants and fish salad.
When I took a bite of the wild vegetables that were arranged in a three-dimensional manner, a crisp texture sound resonated.
I could understand that there are dozens of different vegetables and wild vegetables mixed in. Each of them has a subtly different texture, they are interesting.
The citrusy sauce has a sweet and sour taste to it making it go perfectly with the salad.
When I brought a small piece of fish to my mouth, a fragrant aroma spread.
……it’s smoked fish. I’m surprised since I didn’t think they would smoke the half-beak fish.
It’s been a while since I’ve eaten a smoked dish, but it was delicious with its fragrant aroma and depth of flavor.
I’d like to try making this with Bartolo when I get home.
So let’s gather some information about this dish. I call the Misfid house’s maid standing by behind me to ask. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「What kind of woodchips do they use to smoke this halfbeak fish?」
「It is apple woodchips. It has a mild scent to it so it pairs well with light-flavored ingredients like chicken meat or fish with white flesh meat 」
When I tried asking about it, the maid answered with a bright smile.
Not only does she know about the dish, she even knows the ingredients used for the dish, huh?
As expected from the maid of a Duke’s house. Their levels are high.
「Alfried, what are you talking about with our maid?」
「I’m just a little interested in the smoking of the dish」
「You’re still weird as usual」
Shelka sighed as if amazed at me after hearing my answer.
Seeing me feigning ignorance, it seems like she found it pointless even to bring up the topic.
In addition to acquiring information about smoking, I could also avoid the bothersome conversation about attributes. It’s two birds with one stone.
As I was feeling satisfied with my excellent avoidance technique, I saw Ra-chan’s glass was in a dangerous position.
At this rate, the glass is going to fall if it gets pushed by her arm.
「Ra-chan, your glass is about to fall it’s dangerous you know」
「Ehh? Ah――」
I warned her with good intentions, but it ended up being a bad thing instead.
Because she tried to look toward her right side on the spur of the moment, Ra-chan’s right arm ends up pushing the glass.
「『Psychic』」
I was mentally prepared to hear the sound of glass breaking, but then Ra-chan quickly cast her magic.
The glass stopped falling midway, moreover, the content of the glass didn’t spill as she returned it to the table. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Ooh, that’s amazing!」
「I’ve been practicing a lot earlier. Ehehe」
Ra-chan happily laughed when I praised her for her fast magic casting.
I instructed her to increase her mastery over Psychic so it could be used for the level of daily activities.
Despite the fact that she just practiced it until a while ago, I was deeply impressed with Ra-chan’s growth that she was able to put it into practice immediately.
「Wait a second!」
As if to shatter the peaceful atmosphere between us, Gideon raised his voice and stood up.
「What is it Gideon-ani?」
I’m surprised by the strange atmosphere, but Ra-chan seems to be fine, maybe she’s used to this.
「Just now, did you omit the chant?」
「Un. I did, you know?」
「When did you learn such a high-level technique!?」
「Al taught meー」
「What’d you say!?」
Hearing Ra-chan’s answer, Gideon shot a sharp gaze at me.
What? Is chant omission such an amazing technique?
Setting aside chantless magic, I think it can be used on one or two spells if it’s chant omission.
「Gideon, It is bad manners to raise your voice and stand up during meal time, you know」
「Now is not the time to worry about th――」
「Gideon? Can you not hear what I said?」
「……I apologize」
Gideon obediently apologized for his rudeness after Floria asked him the second time.
Even though he didn’t react that much when Shugel poked him. It seems like he’s no match for Floria. I guess every mother is the strongest in every household.
When I casually looked toward Gideon’s direction, I saw him keep looking at me. That’s plainly scary.
I got a feeling that this is more troublesome than revealing the number of attributes I can use. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
