"Lil, I've been baking steaks."

"What!? Is that true?"

I carried a small table set up in the room, near the lil, and placed a steak or something on top of it.

"Oh, I burned it. Not really, I'm not very good at cooking... but I managed to do well"

"No, I don't care about that. Wasn't it more expensive than that?

That's what happens when people ask me that.

It's true that it was expensive... and to tell the truth, this kid might humble himself or blame himself.

"Ah... uh, I'm fine. It's okay. Yeah."

"Really...? But are you sure I can eat it?

I guess I'm your slave, huh?

"No, that's fine. Eat it."

Lil is on the table, staring at the child dragon meat as if it were serious.

"I don't know, I've never had an appetite for food before... I want to eat this, that's what I feel."

"You can eat it, okay? Either that or it cools down. Oh, but you can't gut me."

"Oh, why?

"When I get used to gutting rice, I get binge eating this time. Eat every bite, slowly."

"Mmm..."

Lil sliced the steak on the table finely as she sat down on her cot.

And he stabbed it with a fork he held with his trembling hand and tried to carry it to his mouth, but for some reason he stopped.

"Dude, why are you stopping? Did it taste bad?

"No... it's not. I could eat something good. Leave your husband alone. And I'm scared."

"What?

"This steak your husband made for me at the corner, I... can't. I think I'm gonna throw up."

That's pretty serious, I knew it.

If I don't, you're gonna have to force me to eat it, okay?

Either way, you're gonna have to get them to eat.

"It's not your fault you throw up. It's the sickness. Besides, if it bothers you that I don't eat... see"

I pinched a slice of Child Dragon steak with my hand and threw it in my mouth.

Ugh!? It's so lame, dragon meat!

... buy it personally when you can make money.

"Hey, I ate it."

"Oh, oh, you ate"

"So don't hesitate."

"So, but..."

That's pretty tough.

But it hurts a little when they say no so far... Well, just take that backwards because of this kid's personality.

"Do you? Turning down goodwill is rude on the contrary, isn't it?

"Oh...! I'm sorry."

Is this good for you? Lil held the fork back, and also carried the steak into his mouth, this time into his mouth.

"Ugh... ugh"

"Hey, you okay?

I knew it wouldn't work. Well, it doesn't heal that quickly.

I took out the bucket and rubbed my back as I stood on Lil's mouth.

But Lil doesn't try to throw up inside.

"Hey... even if I can't force myself to throw up..."

Shut up and he shook his head to the side.

And in his mouth he mowed and swallowed the meat after a while. She doesn't look like she's going to throw up. You look trembling...?

"Duh, what's up?

"... and no..."

"Hmm?"

"Hey... Shh."

"Hey...?

"Yummy...... yummy, wow!!

She said that out loud and with great pleasure.

Because of my mind, my face looks more alive than it was earlier.

"Really... you okay with not throwing up?

"Oh, it looks fine. Yummy... eating is such a wonderful thing!

"That's good"

"Oh, hey, your husband! Hang up already... can I eat another slice?

"No... it's all Lil's, isn't it?

This reaction... Didn't you really eat something delicious for a long time now?

No, you said animal shit earlier. Suppose that's a regular meal......

Speaking of which, I've heard.

To make food that a child doesn't like, he wants to cook with that ingredient without being too familiar with it and making it tasteless.

Many times.

I mean, didn't this kid hate the food itself until now? I shouldn't feel that way.

"Are you sure it's mine?

"Oh. But don't be too gutsy, okay? other illnesses or may surprise your stomach."

"Ah, oh. I'll be careful."

Lil then ate my roasted steak looking delicious, happy and in tears.

If I hadn't let you keep it down, I'd think you'd be running on a bulimia like this.

And even though I made him watch out, he flattened out with Peroli.

"It was delicious...... I haven't eaten so well in years."

"That was good."

That's when Tonton and I heard a knock on the door in our room.

When I opened the door to the room, there stood a child who should be one boy. I bring my uniform and I have obon or something.

It's just that the kid's ears kind of look like fish ela is growing... That's not good.

"We have a meal.. in your room or dining room, which would you like to enjoy?

"Oh, in the room, then"

"Understood."

I see you wanted to ask about the meal.

I lowered my head to a pepper and the boy left.

Here, I realize I do. Yes, I need to order Lil's share of the meal.

"Lil... bad. Your dinner for today..."

"Wasn't this it?

"No, that's for me to get Lil used to eating"

"Right...... But I did eat it."

"... I'm sorry"

I'll have to add rice later. Can you do that?

A while later, that boy pulled the table and carried the dish.

"It's dinner of the day."

The menu consists of salad, bread, soup, fish muniel and dessert and one dish that I'm not sure what else.

"When you have finished eating, do not place dishes in front of the room"

With that said, the boy left.

... half, you want Lil to eat it? It doesn't make sense to just eat steak.

"Hey, Lil."

"What?

"Half, after all, eat, huh?

"What... no, you can't say that to a boulder"

"No, 'cause it doesn't mean you can just eat steak, does it? And I'm hungry for lunch."

"Ho... is that true?

"Oh, it's true"

Actually, don't tell me you haven't had lunch.

Salad in bread for soup...... If you can eat these, don't worry about them in the future.

"... well, what do I do..."

"Why don't you just try to see if you can eat something other than steak"

"Ugh, yeah."

You convinced me to say that, Lil shrugged the soup with a spoon and included it in his mouth.

That... there's only one spoon, right?

Fine, I'll drink without a spoon.

"What do you say, can we eat?"

"Yes, I'm fine... I'm fine!

"Well, then try something else"

"Yeah!"

I ate bread, salad, fish and lil but never vomited.

You can't do this because it's in front of me? And I thought so, but that's not what I'm saying.

Was this disease such a quick cure?

... Either way, you're happy to have healed.

"It's all... edible."

"Good for you."

In the end, Lil ate half my dinner.

I can't believe I couldn't eat rice at all until just now, but I can eat so much.

When I finished that dinner, I cleaned up the steak dishes and took the dinner dishes with me.

They told me to leave it, but I had business in the kitchen, so I had no choice.

I met that uncle and the boy on the way, and I asked my uncle if he could add morning and dinner for another one in the future, and he said it would be good with an extra 50 bells.

I paid 200 bells for tomorrow on the spot.

Boy sounds like a slave, by the way. It had a tattoo.

Seeing me talking intimately to an old man who would be the master of this inn, it seemed like this kid was being treated properly.

I went back to my room.

Well, I guess I'll take a bath.
