I’m glad that it’s close to the school. The guards from Kouzuki security service in front of the gate saluted, probably because Reika’s in the passenger seat As expected, Reika in her boyish appearance stands out.
Geez, late, you’re all late!
Mao-chan and Katsuko-nee meet us up at the entrance.
Sorry
Nagisa hugs her daughter.
Anyway, everyone’s waiting!
Being hugged by her mother, Mao-chan smiles.
Err, the dinner is at Agnes’ room, right?
I asked Katsuko-nee.
Yes, I’m sure you’ll be surprised
By what? Kyouko-san and the gang finished the construction in no time
Construction?
You’ll see when we get there
Anyway, we can’t let everyone wait further.
We didn’t change our clothes and head straight to Agnes’ basement Then.
Oh, you finally arrived
Kyouko-san and Miss Cordelia welcomes us in the room that isー
Twice as wide. The room partitioning the next room was taken away.
We bought a chainsaw on the way back. Then, we did it in one go. We cut them into big chunks so the waste materials were already transported to the upper floor. It’s dangerous for these little children if it’s just lying around As expected of Kyouko-san, she works fast
Or rather, she just casually bought a chainsaw
It’s gotten wider now so I can train here too
Margo-san said.
Yeah, true, it’s about the size of a basketball court Or rather, this is the original size. This basement was an atelier for the guests that come to the mansion. This is for a person who likes art who would like to paint a prostitute But. Agnes seems to be confused by the expanded room. She’s clinging to Mana and Ruriko closely. Then, Mao-chan joins them. As someone who made a cake together with her, they seem to be close already Edie tries to join the group, but Agnes isn’t good with Edie so she hides behind Mana. Edie shows aWhy?face
Now then, I’m sorry to keep everyone waiting. Let’s eat!
Katsuko-nee, the homemaker of themansiondeclares
Today, it’s hand-rolled sushi!
Running down from the upper floor, opening the refrigerator, Katsuko-nee takes out the sashimi, shellfish, and vegetables.
Tuna, sea bream, tied mackerel, boiled octopus, shellfish, salad dressing, then Each of them is quite a lot
I wasn’t able to buy outside lately so for today, it’s all fresh ingredients!
Katsuko-nee smiles
The nori is over there. The rice is.
Ah, I’ll do it
Nagisa rolls up her sleeves and transfers the cooked rice from the huge rice cooker.
What is a hand-rolled sushi?
Ruriko asks.
Yes, yes, that’s a good question
Nei comes forward.
First, you put the rice on top of the nori
Nei’s white and long fingers move skillfully
Then, you put on what you like, fish, shellfish, or vegetable, and roll it over!
Nei rolls it down neatly
Then, you put on the soy sauce, I’m going ahead, Itadakimasu!
She takes a bite!
Yes, that’s delicious!
Margo-san whispers to my ear.
Katsuko-san did this since the cake-baking was popular
I see Agnes who’s always been served a finished meal.
She must be interested in making her own hand-rolled sushi.
Can I do it well?
It’s fine! Let’s make it together! Agnes-chan too
Mana speaks to the worried Ruriko and to Agnes too
Somehow, she feels composed. But still, having an interaction with everyone like this is very effective. As expected of Katsuko-nee, she knows.
I’ve made egg soup and Caesar salad too so eat up
She said, smiling.
Katsuko, before that
Kyouko-san said.
The seafood today are all Cordelia’s treat!
Huh, why?
Yes. I lost my bet with Kyouko! So, everyone, eat a lot!
Miss Cordelia says feeling a bit frustrated.
In exchange for that, I’ll give you a special wine
Saying that Margo-san takes out several white wines.
My, aren’t these all branded?
I took it from the wine cellar of the mansion. Katsuko, I don’t mind the price from when the guest delivered it, just drop it on my acount No, it’s fine if it’s the price at the time of purchase No, just let me, Minaho’s annoying in that regard
Kyouko-san stabs the screw on the first bottle.
The young ones will be having juice or tea
Nagisa said.
I want at least a sip
Mana said
Since she’s a daughter of Shirasaka house, she must’ve drunk wine before. She’s been taken to a restaurant by her Grandfather, Ichikawa-san.
Not today. Agnes and others would imitate you
Margo-san tells Mana gently
Ah, I see, it can’t be helped then
Mana’s convinced, so she smiled.
I will drink! I’m already an adult!
Nei laughs.
Adult? At what country’s law?
Margo-san smiles at Nei.
Margo-oneechan, this room is in France right now
Then it can’t be helped
Regardless of the law, Nei should be an adult from Agnes’ eyes
Ah, does Edie not want to drink?
It’s fine, she’s from an assassination cult so she shouldn’t be drinking alcohol except for religious ceremonies
Kyouko-san said.
You can’t be an assassin if you’re alcoholic you know?1 Besides, Americans are conservative so it’s unlikely for them to let children drink alcohol
I see.
Here, Yoshi-kun!
Meanwhile, Megu pours tea on my glass.
For the others too. Megu’s a girl who works silently on this kind of scene.
Everyone, hold your glasses
The one who takes lead on times like this is Kyouko-san, the patriarch.
Well then, cheers!
Cheers! Itadakimasu!
Then, the meal begins
Like this, you do it this way, Agnes-chan
Mana instructs Agnes how to make hand-rolled Sushi right away.
Edie is imitating from the side. Ruriko
Ruriko, you’re doing well
Whatever she does, it’s elegant and done neatly
Onii-sama, it’s my first time eating this kind of meal
No, I’m the same
Well, I’ve seenhand-rolled sushion Television but
Eating it for real is.
Is that so?
Yeah, I’m the same with Ruriko
Ruriko smiles happily
I’m having fun
Ruriko?
It’s my first time having so much fun during meal
She’s an Ojou-sama in Kouzuki house right.
She pays attention to the servants at home, to the people outside. Always alone with Yoshiko-san, I think she must have it hard
It’s fine, just eat
Yes, Onii-sama
Ruriko elegantly opens her mouth and takes a bite.
Non, non, Ruriko, you should open your mouth wide and munch it widely! Munch!
Nei opens up her mouth widely and takes a big bite.
My!
Ruriko’s surprised and laughs.
There’s nobody here but Ruriko’sfamily! So you can eat inelegantly! Okay?
Yes, Nei-oneesama
But still.
Edie takes a bite, and she looked surprised.
Ah, could it be that it’s Edie’s first time eating raw fish?
Nei realized, and talked to Edie in English.
Edie replies showing a confused face.
What did she say?
Yeah. It’s really her first time eating Japanese food Then, should we prepare something else for Edie? Meat or something baked?
Katsuko-nee asks, but
No, she mentioned that Agnes and Mana are eating it deliciously so she wants to try it too
Nei translates Edie’s words.
Hearing that, Mana
Agnes-chan, make a sushi for Edie-chan
Agnes.
Agnes makes it?
Yes and Mana will make one for Agnes-chan Then, I will make Mana-san’s sushi
Ruriko joins in
Then, Mao will make one for Papa!
Everyone decided to present hand-rolled sushi to the other
Here
Agnes hands the sushi she made to Edie.
Mana speaks English. I think it’sAgnes made this for you Edie’s deeply impressed And she eats it without adding soy sauce Good!
