Book 2: Chapter 11-2: Lucy and Kuu
Cyril Im fine with going together with youbut Id like you to stop going and doing things like you did today without saying anything. I dont want to be too selfish and I dont want to trouble you, but I want you to at least tell me. If not Ill always be worried that if youre not with me youre off doing something dangerousis that no good?
Lucy looked at me with upturned eyes.
I couldnt handle how precious and adorable she looked so I put my hand on her cheek.
Im sorry, I was wrong. Of course, if I dont say anything youll get worried. Ill make sure to tell you everything properly from now on.
Un, if you do that Id be happy.I want to know everything about you Cyril.
How can this angelic smile suit her so well?
Just her expression made it so much harder to bring up the matter with Kuu.
I had broken out in a cold sweat internally as I patted Lucys head. Lucy grumbled not to treat her like a child, but I could tell that she was pleased by it.
Okay then, lets eat. I moved a lot today so Im hungry. I got some incredible stuff today so we should enjoy it.
I took my hand off her head and moved to the kitchen.
Okay then, it was time to cook up a special meal as if my life depended on it in more ways than one.
***********************************
Okay Lucy its ready. I think its really good so give it at try.
It smells really sweet and delicious. What is it?
Its a treat called a doughnut. I thought something like this would be good once in a while.
This time I had made a doughnut that was baked golden-brown.
It was easy to make. I just mixed flour, water, and sugar together then fry the dough in lard before covering it in sugar.
Rather than a doughnut it was closer to a Sata Andagi, but it was hard to say so I just went with doughnut.
Its so good. This is the first time Ive had such a delicious thing like this.
The sweet-loving Lucy seemed even happier than usual as she gobbled up the donuts.
For me I felt it was a bit lacking without eggs and baking powder, but the strong deliciousness of the sugar that Lucy had never had must have made this meal an incredible one.
Lucy, I have more so you can eat as you please.
Uu, I want to ask for secondsbut I want to have more for later so Ill hold back. How did you make something so delicious?
I threw sugar on it.
Sugar!? Its incredible that you got some. Its the first time Ive tried the real thing.
Un, I got some from the negotiator that came from the Empire.
So theres some good people in the Empire too?
I guess so. I think this is the first time I met a decent soldier from the Empire as well.
This was the first time I had met with elite Imperial troops. If these were the people in command then we would truly have to brace ourselves for the next battle.
We didnt have time to talk about being experienced. We would have to deal with things by means fair or foul.
Is there enough for everyone?
Unfortunately there isnt enough to share with everyone.
This 10kg bag would be insufficient to share with everyone in Erucy.
I ended up being the only one getting treated to something luxurious. Hey Cyril, Im fine now. Buthow are we supposed to split up the remaining amount? No matter how we do it itll seem unfair.
Lucy said while gazing at the doughnuts with a complex gaze. Even though I had said there wasnt enough to give everyone a portion she hadnt given up on the idea.
Im sure she wanted to share the feeling of eating such delicious food to everyone else.
Its alright. The sugar we have now would be too hard to divide up, but soon Ill be able to share a sweet soup dessert with everyone. So you dont have to feel guilty about enjoying the stuff in front of you.
But it feels sneaky
The gold was obtained by me as Chief for our people. The sugar was something I personally obtained for my own benefitso honestly its all mine. But I knew that Lucy would hate that so I decided to share with everyone. If you dont polish off those doughnuts then Ill just keep all the leftover sugar to myself.
You always say such unfair things Cyrilif you say something like that then I have to eat these sweets.but thank you.
Lucy smiled and started to stuff her cheeks with doughnuts.
It was worth the effort just to see that smile. But I still had to say something that might freeze that smile
UmmLucyI have something I need to apologize for.
Why are you acting so humbly?
Kuu confessed her love to me.I accepted.and I slept with her.
The instant she heard what I said Lucy dropped the doughnut in her hand.
