Chapter 4. Life is between B and D, it is C.
My mind is blank. The buzz from the outside made me wake up, but I didn’t want to open my eyes.
‘Should I sleep a little longer. Thirty minutes, no, just for ten minutes more…’
However Dillian would not leave me alone.
“Miss Ria, are you awake?”
Dillian, who knew I was awake, gently shook my shoulder.
“Hmmm…”
“Let’s get up now. It’s time for breakfast.”
I forced myself to open my eyes thinking of a guest waiting outside.
I couldn’t see properly because of my swollen eyes.
“I can’t see very well…”
“Yes, it’s carp eyes*. Can you see my face?”
*The eyes were swollen and looked like carp eyes.
“I can see Sir Dillian’s handsome face even with my eyes closed.”
“…”
I frowned at the stinging look on my cheek.
“Why?”
“… Don’t say things like that anywhere. Understand? There are a lot of people who will come at you with strange delusions.”
“I have eyes, too. I’m only saying these things to Sir Dillian.”
Words that did not go through the brain came out of its own will because I was half asleep.
“You sure, you are only saying it to me?”
“Of course. I have never seen anyone more handsome than Sir Dillian in my life.”
Mouth, shut up. I told it to shut up in my head but the mouth was still talking carelessly.
Dillian smiled satisfactorily at the desired answer.
“Then do it everyday.”
“Sir Dillian, a man should not go back on one’s word.”
You told me not to do it before, how can a person have a different back and front?
With my index finger raised, I told him he can’t do that, then Dillian grabbed my hand.
“I will give up being a man for today.”
“So hmm, you want to be a woman?”
“How about being your puppy?”
“Woah, then it’s son of a dog**.”
“… This is a bit of a shock.”
Dillian, who was speechless for a moment, sighed.
I don’t know if I should be happy to beat Dillian, or resent my snout for telling him to be a son of a dog.
“Master, this is the water prepared by the son of a dog.”
“No, that, I’m sorry…”
“The son of a dog is hurt.”
I drank the water in the forceful cup.
I came to my senses when I drank the water.
I pressed down my swollen eyes.
“My face is funny now, right? It looks like it’s going to roll because it’s swollen, right?”
“No, it’s pretty.”
“Such an empty word.”
“It’s sincere. The son of a dog doesn’t lie.”
“… I’m really sorry. I’m talking nonsense because I’m still half asleep.”
I appeased Dillian, who was muttering about the son of a dog again and again.
You are the most handsome in the world. Cool, perfect, I gathered all the praise I knew and put it on him.
Maybe my anxious efforts worked, when he smiled as if he felt better after a long time.
“Let’s go, I’m sure it’s time for the food to be ready now.”
Dillian opened the door, it was the host, no, this is a restaurant, kind of narration that I thought I heard.
Half-closed eyes flashed open to the core.
I opened my mouth to the food prepared that seemed to bend the table.
‘What’s all that…?’
The delicacies were filling my little table. I was surprised by the delicious foods that made my mouth water.
As I turned to the kitchen, I saw the knights moving wildly.
“Kanae! How many minutes left?”
“3 minutes!”
“I’m almost done too!”
It was almost like a battlefield.
And in the middle of the battlefield, I saw Nathan commanding.
It was watching the food with hawk eyes, hanging on Harris’s shoulder.
‘When did Harris come?’
There was no sense of incompatibility in the naturally formed group.
“Put more salt in there! Pat, pat!”
“Yes! Chef!”
“It spilled there! Clean!”
“Clean! Chef!”
“It’s all burned! You get out!”
“Uuck! Yes, chef!”
Ludo, why are you putting on an angry face…
Shameful that he was kicked out of the kitchen, Ludo puffed, kicked out the door and got out.
“Crap!!! Is this all you can do! Ludo!! Get yourself together! You can’t feed the Madam with that trash!”
And suddenly he started pushing himself.
After Ludo, who suddenly kicked out, the rest of the chefs, no, the knights, turned pale.
“If you all don’t want to be like Ludo, move fast!”
“Yes! Chef!”
A cooking survival program that I enjoyed in my previous life was unfolding in front of me.
“Sir Dillian, what’s going on here?”
“They owe Miss Ria yesterday, it seems like they want to repay you by breakfast.”
Right, that’s possible. I got it.
“But what’s with that pig…? A boar…?”
I asked, covering my head in the middle of the kitchen.
“That’s right. I caught it at dawn.”
“… The boar?”
“Yes.”
I mean, how can…?
The jaw that opened with surprise and shock, closed with Dillian’s answer.
“How can I catch it? Of course I caught it with the power of love.”
“… I’m sorry. I’m not quite understand what you are talking about.”
“There was no meat at home, so I went out at dawn and caught it.”
Listening to Dillian’s words, it seems just a pure favor, but why in my eyes it seems like he is trying to raise his score?
“Ria! Hurry, sit down. These guys are pretty good.”
I looked at the food piled up like a mountain with bored eyes.
Rather than being treated, I felt like a judge.
‘I hope I don’t get an upset stomach.’
The sparkling, expectant eyes were burdensome.
“Thank you for the food…”
I put the meat in my mouth after the greeting and opened my eyes wide.
No, this taste is…!
Delish!
“It’s delicious!”
Everyone was relieved by my reaction.
I was tasting one dish at a time and asked, pointing to a particularly delicious plate.
“Who baked this?”
“It is me.”
Eldman raised his hand in a flash.

“This was the best. If you get married, you will be loved by your wife.”
“Thank you!”
Eldman’s face, which is smiling, is soon distorted at Dillian’s word.
“How good.”
“It, it’s not good at all.”
“Are you saying that Miss Ria’s compliment is not that good?”
“It, it is not!”
Why are you being mean again? I shoved the dish into Dillian’s mouth.
“Stop torturing him and just eat this. It’s delicious.”
Someone, hoop, took a breath. When I raised my eyes, I saw a startled Kanae covering her mouth.
It was a natural response.
No one has ever done such a rude thing to Dillian Sinaize.
At first, I was conscious of everything, like them.
Is it because I’m used to it now? It wasn’t scary.
‘I’m an exception for Dillian.’
Is it because I’m his benefactor?
Dillian, who smiled at me, pointed to a plate.
“Please feed me that this time.”
“Sir Dillian, don’t you have hands? You don’t have feet?”
“All I have is the eyes to look at you and the heart.”
Correction. I’m not an exception, he just likes teasing me. I made up my mind.
“Are you crazy?”
Why is this person getting weird as time goes by? He really seemed like a crazy person.
“I’m perfectly normal.”
Right, because usually crazy people do not realize that they are crazy.
***
Pook, pook. My feet fell into the snow.
“Miss Ria, are you all right?”
“Don’t worry about me, just look forward. Unlike the road that we have come before, it’s very rough here.”
Having finished my meal, I was climbing the mountain in the black forest, leaving all the work to the knights and Harris, who claimed to be good at housework.
It was to fulfill the request from May to find the breath of snowflakes.
“Miss Ria, hand.”
Dillian grabbed my hand, then he pulled me up lightly.
“You are a pretty good porter, aren’t you?”
“Well, it’s not bad.”
Despite my dissuasion to rest at home, Dillian, who claimed to be a porter, was relaxed even though he carried the luggage and Nathan in his shoulder.
It looks like he is enjoying it.
“Isn’t it heavy?”
“I think the shoulder with Nathan hanging in it is going to break.”
“Humph, you are overwhelmed by this body’s weight.”
“Overwhelmed, what nonsense. Stop eating. I think you gain more weight than before.”
“This punk!”
Leaving the bickering two behind, I take a look around.
“Nathan, I think we can search for it here. What do you think?”
“This is a good place.”
I tied my hair tightly and took a tool out of my bag.
Gloves and hoe. These two were my items for today.
“Sir Dillian, just follow me around. You will be in trouble if you step on the wrong spot and kill the herbs.”
Dillian follows me around like a good dog.
Then at the time he seems bored, he disappears at some point, I can’t see him around. But I didn’t have time to care about it.
I had to find the breath of snowflakes.
It was an hour after Nathan and I searched for herbs in the snow.
“I found it!”
Screaming like a root digger, I carefully dug up the dirt, suppressing my excitement.
But I couldn’t like it. Since, from now on, this is the real game.
It was hard to find ‘the breath of snowflakes’, but it was also hard to dig it out.
If the root is damaged even a little, it will decrease the worth for half the price, so I had to be careful.
“Let’s take it slow.”
“Yup.”
I smiled broadly at the herb that finally showed its roots.
‘Is this why the root diggers are climbing the mountain?’
After wiping off my sweat and feeling proud, I hurried looking around to Dillian who called me.
“Miss Ria, Miss Ria.”
“What?”
“Look at this.”
I blinked to the snowman next to Dillian.
On top of that, it looked strangely reminiscent of someone.
“Is that Nathan?”
“That’s correct.”
The little owl snowman was lovely.
I threw the hoe, approached Dillian, and took a look at the snowman.
“So cute, Sir Dillian, you are good at making a snowman.”
“You’re good with your hands.”
Nathan also twirled around, it seemed to like the snowman, so the corner of its mouth raised up.
“Should I make us next?”
“That sounds good, too. If we are together like this, we might be like a family.
Then Dillian’s eyes sparkled.
“I will make it in a minute. Miss Ria can take your time.”
Dillian’s eyes focused hard as if he was excited by the compliment.
‘As I look at it, I think he is kind of cute.’
Dillian looked like a puppy who was excited to see the snow for the first time.
“He has an unexpected talent.”
“Yeah, I thought he’d just ruin everything, but he made it well.”
I finished the work by talking with Nathan.
I, who dug out herbs easier than the first time, looked around.
“Where’s Dillian going?”
It was too quiet, I did not know Dillian was out of my sight.
“Sir Dillian!”
“Miss Ria.”
“Where have you been? What are you looking for?”
I was surprised that you suddenly disappeared. As I turned around and complained at him, Dillian welcomed me.
“That, I picked up something weird.”
“Kwaaaak!”
