Meat! It's meat!

　Hike and hurried home. ...it's too late.

　Even though the days are getting longer, it's getting darker.

　I hope my father and mother don't get mad at me.

"I-I'm home... I'm sorry I'm late."

"It's already late, Kai! Didn't you hear about today's cooking from Dad!?"

"I...I'm sorry! I heard you, but I trained a little too hard...I was looking forward to it! However, as much as I was looking forward to it, I got all excited..."

"Well, well. Isn't it fine, mother? Even Kai seems to be reflecting on it."

"Oh no! Dad is too sweet to Kai!"

"Hahaha! I'm sure. Maybe it's because I'm in a good mood because my first meal is right in front of me."

"feast?"

"Ah, come on, Kai, hurry up and come in. You're amazing today."

　I was peeking through the entrance of the house, checking the complexions of my father and mother as I entered the house, so I didn't know what was on the dining table.

　As my father told me, I entered the house with a little hesitation.

"Wow! What happened to this!?"

　A meat dish with bones was placed there. impossible. Because we have never eaten anything like this at home.

　The reality in front of me that meat dishes are placed seems like a lie. Are you dreaming...?

　I unconsciously pinch my cheeks.

　...it hurts! Ah, it's not a dream!

　The sight in front of me is the one I've always dreamed of! Meat in this world, meat! Oh no!

"Why did you suddenly pinch yourself on the cheek? Kai does strange things sometimes...heh heh. But if you're all that excited, it seems you know what this is all about."

"Mother, mother! Why is there meat? It's never been on our dining table before. How can you eat it? Why?"

"Hahahaha! If it's that talkative, I'm really happy. It was worth my effort to kill it without being caught."

"Did your father hunt?"

"Ah, to be precise, I was with Haiku and Irene's fathers. It was an eye opener, because even though the woods are so close, they've never appeared before, and most of the time, before we find them, the lumberjacks are out in the woods. Hunt it, and it will be paid to towns and cities as their tax....This opportunity is unique.It was just the three of us, and I happened to find it near the shed, which was good. The three of us hurriedly grabbed our bows and shot them all at once from behind so that they wouldn't be noticed, and the arrows from Haiku's father hit the target."

　That's what happened. After all, Haiku's father is Haiku's father.

　I can understand why Haiku is so good at archery.

"Dad is talkative, just like Kai. Come on, it's just been made, so let's eat it before it gets cold."

"Oh, that's right. Kai, let's sit down and eat together.…This will probably be the best meal we have in this village.…Well, I wonder if we can have a feast like this in town? I don't know."

　After saying that, my father laughed and asked me to take a seat.

　...I see. This must be a congratulations from my father and mother.

　It's a celebration for me who's about to leave for the city... Thinking about it made me feel a little hot.

　…should not. This is not the time to be immersed in sentimentality.

　I've prepared it for you. Enjoy your time to the fullest.

　With a smile on my face, I took a seat and at my father's signal, the meal began.

"Okay, then let's eat! Itadakimasu!"

"Itadakimasu!"

　As soon as you finish saying "itadakimasu", reach out your hand and grab the meat, vigorouslybiteturnipI got it.

　Ni, it's meat! It's meat! ! Meat that I've always wanted to eat...

　The food that was commonplace in the previous world was so delicious...

　It smells a bit like a beast, but it's definitely meat! Haaaaaa! I'm so happy...

"This is delicious! What do you think, Kai? Isn't it delicious?"

"Yeah! Very! Meat is so delicious. Hey, Mom?"

"Well, I've never eaten anything so delicious! ...Thank you, dear."

"Thank you. Dad!"

"It's nothing more than being happy. I haven't eaten it until I'm this age, but it's really delicious... I wanted to do something before Kai went to town, so my father is happy too. I was able to eat such delicious food with my family.It feels great..."

　Saying so, my father closed his eyes with deep emotion. He really thought of the whole family when he hunted...　

　Thank you, Dad.

"Yeah, I feel great too. Whether I go to the city or the royal capital, I'm sure I won't be able to taste such delicious food. Let's all eat together!"

"Hahahaha! Don't tell me happy things, Kai. With your results, I'm sure you'll be the best in the city... no! I'll look forward to being the best in the royal capital! After all, you're proud of your father. It's because you're a child of!"

　Dad laughs and shakes my head as usual. He talked about going to town, so I thought about it for a while.

　...I won't be able to get this washerwasha if I go to the city.

　I wish I could do this even when I go back home sometimes.

　I'm starting to feel a little lonely...

"That's right. I'm sure Kai will be fine. Kai is the proud child of our family. Hehe."

"Yeah, I'll do my best! I'll do my best for my father and mother, I promise!"

　Even though I declared my unilateral promise to my father and mother, the three of us enjoyed the meal together as a family.

　friendly and friendlyfamily reunionIkka Danranenjoyed the The happy moment passed quickly and night fell.

　After the meal is over, wash the dishes and put them away. After this, just wipe your body with a steamed cloth and go to sleep to remove the dirt from your body.

　I take a bath once every two days, get up early in the morning and take a quick bath.

　Unlike when I was in Japan, it is customary here to bathe before dawn. So I'm going to bed early today too.

"Good night. Father, mother."

"…Ah, good night."

"Good night. Have a nice dream..."
