Thank you to all Patrons!
Going Shopping With Everyone
「It has been decided that Al will be treating Schugel-sama deep-fried food」
「I thought that would happen」
Nord-tousan told Elna-kaasan the details of the matter this time when we returned to our room and she exasperatedly said that. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
This happened soon after I said that it would not cause trouble.
I think it is best to assume that my statement of ‘have confidence in me’ won’t work on them for a while.
「Oh well, I will just cook for him for a bit, and if he likes it, I will just teach them the cooking method and some simple recipes, and get compensation in exchange」
「You might say that, but I don’t think it will stop there」
「Please don’t say such a scary thing」
What do you mean it will not stop there? www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I mean, I’m just making fried food for Schugel. There’s no factor that can make the matter bigger.
「Mou, even though the three of us were supposed to go buy pillow today」
Elna-kaasan said as if sulking while she tightly hugged the Sleeping Sheep pillow.
……ah, come to think of it, I forgot I was planning on introducing the two of them to Sleepers.
「I’m going to serve the food for dinner anyway, it won’t be a problem if we go to Sleepers in the morning,g you know」
「You are going to serve the food for Schugel-sama, remember? You'd better be fully prepared」
「Un, I also think so」
Maybe it’s because the other party I am serving is the head of a Duke’s house that the two of them are being very careful.
But, I wonder what this is? Even though I should have said the correct things to say, I feel unsatisfied for some reason.
「Nord and I will go to the bed store since Al will be busy with your preparation. Al, could you give us the introduction letter to Sleepers, please?」
……ah, Elna-kaasan, she planned on going on a date alone with Nord-tousan.
As expected of such an obvious aim, even I understand it.
And rather than Nord-tousan being dull, it’s more because he hasn’t noticed it because of his strong love for his family.
Elna-kaasan narrowed her eyes and silently pressured me.
I’ve had enough of the bittersweet atmosphere between the two of them, so I don’t want to force myself to experience that again.
I immediately did the calculation in my head and decided to support Elna-kaasan’s plan.
「Right. I’ll write the letter of introduction so you both can go to Sleepers. You don’t know when you will get invited to a tea party or what-not later if you miss your chance of going there today
「Thank you, Al」
Elna-kaasan happily smiled when I promised to write them a letter of introduction. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
And it seemed like Nord-tousan finally realized my aim after such an undisguised exchange, as he let out a wry smile embarrassed.
「What are you going to serve Schugel-sama, Al?」
「 Deep-fried skewered meat and vegetables」
The Misfid house has a wide variety of food ingredients such as meat, vegetables, and seafood.
So if I were to make deep-fried skewers, then you will be able to enjoy a lot of ingredients all at once,e and so Schugel will also be able to judge whether the food tastes good or bad easily.
「You will be able to enjoy a wide variety of ingredients, not to mention they are colorful if it’s deep-fried skewered food, not a bad idea」
It certainly looks much better than the single meat-wrapped asparagus or a pile of deep-fried food.
It’s a nice choice, even if I say so myself.
「Well then, I’ll go shopping right away」
「Wait a moment. Please take Mina or Sara to go shopping with you」
Nord-tousan stopped me just when I tried to leave the room, just like that.
It would be easier to move around by myself, but those two don’t know I can use Space magic after all.
「Alfried-sama! I will accompany you!」
When I glanced over, I saw Mina - who had been standing by - insisting with sparkling eyes.
「Then, Sara please」
「Alfried-sama, are you being mean to me!? Please let me accompany you shopping! I want to enjoy walking around the royal capital after such a long time!」
「Ehhー, what to do」
「Both Nord-sama and Elna-sama only show favoritism to Sara and bring her to tea parties, while I’m the only one house-sitting! I also want to go outside too!」
「Err no, we are not showing favoritism, alright?」
「I think it is because Mina-senpai’s lack of etiquette is to blame for that」
While Nord-tousan is flustered at Mina’s complaint, Sara resolutely clearly said what's on her mind.
「Eeehhhh! I’m being bullied by my kouhai, who is gloomy and always spouting logicー!」
「……who is the gloomy one」
Sara’s cheeks twitched slightly when Mina spoke while sobbing and complaining on and on.
She might be a little worried about that. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Alfried-sama, if possible, it would be helpful if you choose Mina-senpai to accompany you. It will absolutely be troublesome later if only I go out to accompany you」
Sara honestly spoke her opinion while sighing lightly.
If Mina does something troublesome later, the one who will get harmed the most by that will be her kouhai, Sara.
After hearing that, I feel sorry for taking Sara with me.
「Okay then. Mina, you can come with me」
「Thank you very much! Alfried-sama!」
Once my companion had been decided, Mina - who had been sobbing on and on - suddenly stopped crying.

「Alー! Let’s play!」
Just as I was about to go shopping with Mina, I heard Ra-chan’s voice.
Gideon was also behind her, which is unusual.
Apparently, they were ambushing me in the lobby to catch me.
「Sorry, but I have to go shopping now」
「Ehー? Shopping?」
「Just what are you going to buy?」
「Ingredients needed for cooking」
「Cooking? Leave that kind of thing to the chefs and accompany me in the training chant omission. I feel like I am going to be able to do it perfectly a bit more」
「No! I’m going to play with Al!」
Gideon and Ra-chan try to force their way in, even though I told them I already have a plan.
It’s interesting to see the difference between this older brother and younger sister, even though they are saying the same thing. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Hmmー, I also want to leave it to the chefs, but this is Schugel-sama’s request」
「What do you mean this is father’s request?」
「To get straight to the point, Schugel-sama wants to eat the deep-fried food dish I ate with Loretta last night」
I dragged Loretta - who feign ignorance behind them - into the conversation since Gideon asked me with such a puzzled look on his face.
「Only Loretta ate delicious food from Al?」
「Eh! No, that is, how to say, things progressed the way it is……」
「Even though you told me to go to bed early」
Loretta broke out in a cold sweat and averted her gaze when Ra-chan looked at her with an envious look.
It wouldn’t be interesting if Loretta were the only one to get uninvolved in such trouble.
「Hm, a cooking that made even father want to eat. I am interested. Make me some of that deep-fried food dish」
「Ah! It’s unfair only for Gideon-ani! I also want to eat Al’s cooking!」
Just when Loretta was feeling relieved, seeing Loretta being flustered, Gideon suddenly said that, followed by Ra-chan.
Eh? I feel like the talk is getting bigger.
「Eeh? This is Schugel-sama’s request so I don’t know if I’m the only one to decide……」
「Then I will ask papa!」
「Ranna-sama! Please don’t run in the hallway, it’s dangerous!」
When I completely left it to Schugel, Ra-chan dashes down the hallway energetically, and Loretta hurriedly follows behind.
Only me, Gideon, and Mina were left in the hallway.
「……is Gideon-sama not going to go with Ra-chan?」
「There is no way father will refuse if Ranna is the one asking」
He dotes on Ra-chan that much after all.
I couldn’t picture Schugel disregarding and refusing his adorable daughter’s request to want to eat with him.
Before long, Ra-chan returns accompanied by Loretta. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Seeing the broad smile on her face, it’s easy to imagine what the result would be.
「He said Gideon-ani and I can eat together!」
「Is that soー. That’s good to hear」
It’s easy for him to give permission but I’m the one who makes the food, you know
「Umm, Alfried-sama, I deeply apologize for adding additional requests, but we would be grateful if you could also take care of Floria-sama and Shelka-sama’s portions」
「It would be sad if it were just the three of them, right」
「Due to the additional increase in the number of people, we would like to offer additional Lighting magic tools as a reward.....」
「Understood. That’s fine then」
There won’t be any problem as long as there is compensation to match the work.
The amount of preparations increases and it becomes a bit more troublesome, but deep-frying will not put that much of a burden on me even if the number of people increases.
「Well then, I’m off to go shopping now」
「I’m also goingー」
「I am worried if Ranna will also come by herself. I will also go with you」
「Well then, I will prepare the carriage」
I was about to leave the entrance once the discussion was settled, but then Ra-chan and Gideon also followed me.
A carriage is prepared as if it were natural when members of a Duke’s house is going out.
When it becomes like this, it is a sign that things have gotten serious.
「Alfried-sama, doesn’t it seem like things have gotten more serious now?」
「It, it’s just got a little bit more lively, is all」
We’re just going grocery shopping. Things wouldn’t escalate any further than this.....hopefully. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
