“Everyone, Please come this way.”

I led the merchants in the direction from where a delicious smell came.

At the place we arrived, a lot of people were moving busily and making preparations.

While talking to the merchants, I went to the place where Lagos was.

As soon as Lagos saw me coming, he rushed toward us and greeted us.

“My lord, you must have finished talking to the merchants.”

“For now. We’ve decided to talk about the complicated things later.”

I asked Lagos, looking around.

“It smelled delicious, so I thought everything was ready, am I right?”

“Yes, you’re just in time, my Lord. I’ll take you to your seat.”

Guided by Lagos, we headed to the place where a table was prepared.

Three merchants followed me to the table.

“Um….”

Ergin and Algott looked disconsolate, still conscious of their new competitor.

Surin, on the other hand, was calm and tried to make a conversation with me.

“Lord, may I ask what you’re trying to show me today?”

“It’s not great. It seemed impolite to serve just the beer to the guests, so I prepared a suitable dish to accompany the beer.”

“Dish? What kind of dish is it?”

“Please wait a little bit. You’ll be able to check it out soon.”

The delicious smell became thicker around the table where we sat.

Not only Surin, but also the two merchants, who were unhappy, were surprised by the delicious smell, and their expressions were full of expectations.

A man dressed as a cook came and said.

“Lord! The dish is just finished. Do you want me to bring it right away?”

“Yes, please.”

Before the chef brought the dishes, the villagers who helped with the preparation took their seats at tables while holding a platter in their hands.

And after a while, a grinning chef brought the dish on a large plate.

As soon as the cook placed the plate down on the table, the savory smell filled the air along with the hot steam.

“Oh, I’ve never seen this kind of dish before.”

“It smells great.”

The food I prepared was pizza, topped with cheese, sauce, and various toppings.

The three merchants showed interest in the new dish that they had never seen before.

I smiled at the not-so-bad response.

The cook divided the pizza into pieces and put it on each individual’s plate.

“Can you wait a little bit? The star of the show hasn’t arrived yet.”

I could already feel the urge on the faces of the merchants who couldn’t calm themselves in front of the fragrant smell, the cheese that stretches out, and the toppings that look appetizing.

Fortunately, the star of the show appeared just in time before the pain of waiting increased.

Kroc came to our table with big beer glasses.

Ergin and Algott trembled at the same time as they saw Kroc approaching.

“Dra… Dragon descendant?”

“It’s really rare…to get to see a Dragon descendant.”

Contrary to the two surprised merchants, Surin did not react much.

Kroc didn’t care about the two people’s reaction as he placed the large beer glass in their respective seats.

The glass was soon filled with a cold beer.

“Thank you, Krock.”

“……”

Krock smiled a little and left the table.

The attention of the merchants which had been directed toward Kroc quickly shifted to the beer glasses.

“Ho!”

“This is the rumored honey beer…”

“It smells… really good.”

The three merchants seemed already fascinated by the unique scent of honey beer.

“This is the first batch of honey beer made at Cardis brewery. I thought it would be best to experience the taste rather than hearing my lame explanation, don’t you think so too?”

When I picked up the beer glass, the rest also quickly took their respective glasses.

I took the beer glass to my mouth after making brief eye contact with the three.

GULP.

GULP.

There was only the sound of drinking beer on the table for a while.

Soon, various exclamations came out one after another.

“Ha! This is really….”

“Hahahaha!”

“Oh my!”

Ergin was speechless, Algott burst into laughter, and Surin shrieked, with her mouth closed with her hand and eyes opened wide.

Just by looking at their reactions, their evaluation of the honey beer got delivered.

Of course, of course! Who wouldn’t like this honey beer?

I reached for pizza on the plate with this momentum.

There was a fork and knife next to the platter, but I boldly picked up the pizza with my hand.

Merchants holding forks and knives stopped their hands looking at me.

First, Surin picked up the pizza with her bare hands, followed by Ergin and Algott, who looked around for a while before picking it up with their hands.

Perhaps, they felt strange at my behavior that went against table etiquette.

Algott was so shocked, to the point he openly showed signs of discomfort on his face.

But that was also for a while.

As soon as he took a bite of pizza after me, the awkwardness and discomfort disappeared.

“Huh?!”

Chewy pizza dough, stretched cheese, sauces, and various toppings that revealed their presence in the middle,  made every bite enjoyable.

Like the last time I made a strawberry jam sandwich, I felt much more unique because I made pizza using a wood-fired Pizza oven.

When the pizza has a slightly greasy taste, without hesitation, I drank the cold beer again.

The salty taste of pizza blends perfectly with the bitter aftertaste of beer.

My mouth was filled with great satisfaction.

Although I’m usually reluctant to drink early in the morning, it was a taste where everything felt could be forgiven.

No! It was so fantastic that I felt guilty about refusing this.

Drunk with satisfaction for a moment, I belatedly looked at the merchants.

Their response was explosive, as expected.

They ate the pizza as if they had never felt uncomfortable using bare hands.

They forgot to look at me, the Lord, and fell in love with the taste of the beer.

They emptied their plates and beer glasses neatly and looked satisfied.

I opened my mouth with a pleased expression.

“The honey beer and pizza must have tasted good, isn’t it? You even forgot I’m sitting here.”

“Hmmm…”

“Hmmm…”

“Hmmm…”

The three quickly realized their mistakes and looked embarrassed.

Then they slowly started looking at me.

At first, I thought it was an action to make up for the mistake, but soon I realized it wasn’t.

They touched the empty beer glass and plate with a sad expression, with eyes that would make you feel sorry for some reason.

I smirked and shouted.

“Tell Kroc to bring some more honey beer here. Another round of pizza, please.”

 

“Hey, hey! You’re trying to cut in line, aren’t you?”

“Ah! Oh, no!”

“KEEP IN MIND, EVERYONE. If you get caught cutting in line, I’ll kick you out right away.”

Reville growled and threatened the people standing in the line.

The person who was about to cut in line returned to the back of the line with a pale face.

As people continued to flock, Reville and members of the vigilante group kept moving and raising their voices.

“Reville!”

“Oh! My Lord”

Reville treated me politely because there were many eyes around him.

“Seems like the vigilantes are working hard.”

“Today, it seems more crowded than usual since merchants from three groups are all over the place.”

As he said, the villagers and many merchants were mixed together, creating a very confusing situation.

The reason they gathered like this was because of the free pizza and beer I prepared.

This time, while serving the merchants, I also prepared pizza and beer for the villagers.

Honey beer was replaced by regular beer because of the limited quantity.

“It’s a pity that the vigilantes are suffering, but I’m glad that many people are enjoying it.”

“If the lord is satisfied, that’s enough for us. Compared to what the Lord has given, this is not even a hardship.”

Reville replied with a reliable look.

I approached him and whispered softly.

“I’ll give you the vigilante’s share of honey beer later. I purposely kept aside a bottle for you guys.”

“Really, Sihy..? Is that so, my Lord?”

Reville asked with a surprised look while mixing the informal and formal ways of speaking.

“Of course, but keep it a secret to others. I don’t have a lot of honey beer yet, so I prepared it secretly.”

As the village developed, there were a lot of difficulties for the people of the vigilante group, including Reville.

I wanted to give a gift as a lord to those who are suffering for the safety of my Estate.

“Hmm! I see.”

Reville nodded, managing his expression while looking around. However, the corners of his mouth twitched as if it was hard to hide it.

“Strawberry Lord!”

“Candy Lord!”

A group of children came running toward me while calling my name.

“Hi, guys. Did you guys eat pizza?”

“Yes! I just ate it.”

“It was very delicious.”

“I hope I can eat it again.”

Children who were excited after tasting the pizza, gave a review, bursting with words.

It was so cute to see them wag their tails and twinkle their eyes without a break.

I wiped the mouths of those who had pieces of pizza on their mouths with a handkerchief and patted their heads one by one with a happy smile.

“Really? I’m glad you guys enjoyed it. I’ll tell Lagos so he can prepare it again sooner or later.”

“Wow!”

“Candy Lord is the best!”

“You should listen to your parents and the elders in the village, okay? And like Uncle Reville here, you should not steal and drink honey beer like he did when he was a child, do you understand?.”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

The children replied in a powerful voice.

“Hmm! My lord. That happened a long time ago… …could you please forget it?”

Reville looked embarrassed as I talked about his shameful dark history.

Seeing that, I and the children burst out laughing at the same time.

The chattering children rushed away, and soon, another cute step approached me.

“Cwandy Uncle!”

“Oh my gosh! Our cute Kathy is here.”

As soon as I found the cute baby rabbit toddling, I approached her and hugged her.

The warm and fuzzy feeling felt in my arms was always a new one, no matter how many times I experience it.

“Kathy, did you eat pizza?”

“No. I bwought it to eat with Cwandy Uncle.”

“I’m sorry, my lord. Kathy insisted on eating with my lord…”

Kathy’s mother told me with a plate of pizza.

She was slightly red-faced, indicating she had a glass of beer.

“Haha! I see. Shall we eat together then, sweetheart?”

“Un!”

I accepted the pizza plate with Kathy in my arms.

I Cut the pizza into small pieces and took it to the baby rabbit’s mouth.

Then, Kathy quickly received the slice of pizza with her hand and stretched it toward my mouth.

“Cwandy Uncle, ahhh!”

“Huh? I’m fine. Kathy should eat first.”

“Ugh! Cwandy Uncle, ahhh”

Kathy shook her head and looked up at me with determined eyes.

She pouted her lips in a cute way and I smiled softly looking at the baby rabbit’s cute stubbornness.

I had no choice but to lower my head and eat the slice of pizza.

Then Kathy burst out laughing.

“Okay, now, Kathy’s turn.”

“Un! Ahh.”

This time, Kathy quietly took the pizza I handed to her and ate it in the bustling atmosphere of the villagers.
