Chapter 45
Yumimi and the Namgung family didn’t return until nightfall. Normally, she would have already returned and been busy preparing the meal.
As everyone grew tired of waiting, Yumimi’s assistants stepped up to the plate and hastily cooked a meal with the remaining ingredients.
“We’ll do it, just give us a minute.”
“You said you were going to do a good job this time, so I thought I’d see what you were so excited about.”
“Oh, is that so? Haha. Just thinking about it makes me feel good. If it’s your culinary skills.”
“I’m already feeling energized. We’ll have to use that strength to beat up the bandits!”
Everyone smiled at the comments. The air around us was filled with comments about how excited they were and how they felt better just thinking about it.
I and my uncle also sat down at the table, waiting for Yumimi to return.
“You seem to be taking longer than usual. I wonder who she’s preparing such a delicious meal for.”
“……I should have come with you.”
“Oh, no. You’re going to get stoned in the streets for going there in that dirty look, thank the nanny. You can thank the nanny for not saying anything when she saw the dirty look.”
The words were met with raucous laughter.
“Wahaha! That’s right, that’s right. Yu Suxue is squeamish!”
“If it were me, I’d say…… Phew!”
“Don’t tell me, there’s no one like Yu Suksu!”
My uncle, who was frowning at my words and the reactions around him, shouted at me about what nonsense I was talking about, but I just burst out laughing.
