"ah!"

"How could it be..."

When night fell, when Emilya, Anne, Ram, Rem, and the host Annatasia Hesin, who invited them to come, had already finished bathing and changing clothes, and came out of the inn's hot spring bath in dry dresses and walked to the large restaurant where the inn was sitting directly on the ground, they were shocked to find that there were actually several familiar guys here?

"Firut, Kurschul Karlsten, and Priscilla Variel..."

"How come you guys are here?"

So, naturally, Emilya, who had never expected that the five candidates for the throne would gather together, covered her mouth and exclaimed.

"Please don't be too surprised, Amilia."

"actually……"

"Like you, I invited Kurshu and Firut. As for the specifics, let's talk while eating?"

At this time, Anatasia Hesin, who had already changed into a snow-white dress, walked out from behind Emilya with a smile, and explained to Emilya, and the same somewhat surprised and suspicious Kurshu and Firut.

After taking a hot spring bath and having fun together, she has basically become familiar with Emilya and others. Although she is not a good friend, she can at least call each other's name directly and affectionately, instead of simply being a competitor relationship like the previous one.

Of course, she didn't name the "blood bride" Priscilla Variel just now, because the other party came uninvited, but she was not very good at refusing and driving the other party away.

But it was good that the other party came, and the next thing happened to be enough for them, such as the King’s Chosen, to work hard for a while, and it would be good that they had more strength.

"ah!"

"So that's what it is..."

With a soft shout, Amilia nodded as if she had some insight, and then did not continue to ask more questions.

"alright!"

"Amilia, since everyone is here, let's take the seat as soon as possible?"

"The Water-Farey Inn is different from other places. There are no tall tables and chairs here, but can we kneel on the cushion like this?"

As he said that, afraid that Amilia would not understand and make a fool of herself, Annatasia, as the host, took the lead in her position first, then gently pulled the hem of her skirt and sat down slowly and straightened her back.

"nature!"

"It doesn't seem to be a formal occasion now, so there is no need to make it too grand. If you are not used to this kind of sitting method, you can do it yourself?"

As he said that, Annatasia smiled awkwardly.

Because she saw that a bad little girl sat on the cushion half crossed her legs, and was still bracing her knees with one leg unceremoniously, and she didn't care about the "correct" sitting method she just said.

"ah……"

“Ha~!”

"Okay, OK!"

Amilia obviously saw Anne's appearance, but her skin didn't seem to be as thick as the other party, so she followed Ram and Rem, and sat on the cushion in a very strange way that would definitely press down on the blood vessels.

“Uh…”

ε=(′ο*)))Ha!

At this time, Annie changed into a more comfortable position. She spread her short legs and sat on the cushion, then supported her hands and half-lying on her work, and directly stretched her legs under the small table like a small coffee table.

"Anne..."

"Can't you sit a little better?"

Seeing a bad little girl sitting in a completely different position than others, she even wanted to sit down while lying down. Emiliya couldn't help but look slightly stiff and whispered to remind the other party.

"That's great!"

(′???`)

"I just ate too much, and now my belly is swelling..."

??(??￣?￣)?????

After touching her round belly, Annie ignored Amilia's reminder at all, just to care about her own comfort.

You know, the reason why humans have evolved chairs in countless worlds is that sitting is more comfortable and scientific than kneeling, and it is more in line with human mechanics. Therefore, she will not learn from these boring natives from other worlds, pretending to be artful and elegant, and learn from the tradition left by a strange guy who has traveled through this world to kneel down!

Moreover, not only did she not know how to learn, but she also completely blocked the summoning channel of this world with her backhand, so that no one can be teleported here again in the future.

“…”

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, there was no way, Amilia could only sit up straight again.

Because at this time, with their seats, the formal dinner finally began, and the waiters of the inn began to walk in one by one, carrying various foods in small steps, and placed the various delicacies on the small table in front of every guest present.

Then, the people who were hesitant because Anatasia Hesin invited such a king to come, gradually relaxed and began to discuss in a low voice while eating.

For example, some of the main things that Annatasia Hesin invited everyone to come this time, the threat of the Witch Cult, the deacon of the Karlsten family, Wilheim van Astrea, is the grandfather of Reinharut van Astrea, the staunch supporter of Firu, etc.?

“…”

(?~?)

However, Annie did not listen carefully to what the people around her were talking about, but just lay halfway in her position with her hands on her back and stared at the food in a daze.

“…”

(??ˇ?ˇ?ˇ??)

There is no doubt that those foods must be delicious, and can be smelled by just smelling Anne, but...

“…”

ε=(′ο｀*))) Alas

Thinking about what she had done in the hot spring bath, Anne had to sigh again.

if……

If she had known earlier that there was a big meal here now, she wouldn't do that kind of thing just now, and she would really regret it!

Anyway, she was already considering whether to secretly use the ability to go back to the time they just entered the bathing ground?

(…)

(●￣?￣●)

“Hmm?”

"It's strange..."

"Mage Anne, I remember, don't you like food the most?"

"Why don't you move the tableware much now?"

At this time, an old man sitting not far from Anne, the guy named Wilheim van Astrea, who was also known as the "Sword Ghost". He suddenly turned his head and looked at Anne with a strange look.

Obviously, the other party had been paying attention to Annie's every move for a long time, but he had tolerated until now. He was until the Kings and Selected Men present had finished talking about some things and started to feel a little cold before he suddenly started asking in a low voice.

“…”

o(′^｀)o Humph!

He glanced at the other party, but Annie did not speak, but snorted coldly and turned away.

She was sad now and didn't want to talk to the bad old man she didn't know and liked to meddle in other people's business.

"actually……"

"I can explain."

"His Excellency Wilheim, and you guys..."

"Before I arrived here, Anne had already eaten at the bathhouse."

"And the portions are still a lot, so..."

Seeing that many people were looking at this side, Amilia, who was standing beside her, hurriedly said this and this to the Wilheim who was asking and the people who were paying attention.

At that time, at the bathhouse, Annatasia had someone prepare a meal pre-dinner snack and some appetizers for them, but in the end... Anne was ate all of them alone, and she didn't give them any left.

Now, these sumptuous dinners at the dinner must not be able to eat for convenience. I guess this is the main reason why the other party is sulking and not wanting to pay attention to others?

Of course, Amilia didn't dare to tease Anne that terrible little guy with that kind of thing. Otherwise, God would know if the other party suddenly rose up in anger, and then overturned all the rich food on everyone present's table?

In Emilya's opinion, that kind of thing must be very likely to happen!

"So that's how it is!"

"I understand."

"Mage Anne, I'm so troublesome."

After hearing this, he nodded gratefully to Amilia, and then apologized for giving an apology to a certain arrogant little girl, Wilheim stopped asking more, but just focused on enjoying the strange foods in front of him that were very exotic but made of raw meat.

“…”

At this time, as the sword ghost Willheim successfully turned everyone's eyes and attention to a bad little girl, a handsome young man with slender figure, fiery red hair and clear blue eyes, and a well-faced face finally couldn't help but stand up from his seat and pressed the hilt of the sword and walked around the table to Anne.

“!!”

"Reinharut, you..."
