Soma let out a long, contented exhale after thanking them for the meal. Both his stomach and his heart were full. When all was said and done, it had been good to relive memories like that. When Iori had later proudly brought out pickled vegetables with soy sauce and daikon radishes, though, Soma had thought he must be dumb after all.

Nevertheless, it was true that that wouldn’t have been possible for Soma. No amount of skill with a sword would solve matters of money. It was only because Iori was the Dark Lord that he’d been able to do this.

In any case...

“You two don’t have to force yourselves.”

“No, I’d hate not to finish after you went to the trouble of making this...”

“Mm-hmm... Can’t waste food.”

Felicia and Sierra had gone unusually quiet since dinner had started. Soma had wondered if something was wrong with them, but apparently they were just struggling with the curry. That was probably for the reason Aina had noted—curry didn’t look very appetizing to someone who wasn’t familiar with it, and the generous amount of spices made the smell far stronger than any common dishes. Aina was used to it, and Soma even found it nostalgic, but it was no wonder that it would be hard to eat after seeing it for the first time.

“Well, this is Iori’s fault for serving curry to people he just met, so he should take the blame.”

“Oh... True. My bad. I didn’t really think about those two.”

“I can’t believe you...” Aina sighed. “What now? You aren’t going to make them go to bed hungry, right?”

“Yeah, I wouldn’t be doing my job as a host... But what do we do?”

They were doing their best to eat it, but their progress was abnormally slow. Soma was already done, but they’d only taken maybe two or three bites each. Apparently the spice was too much for them. They kept lifting spoonfuls up, hesitating, putting them back down, then trying again.

“From an outsider’s point of view, this would look like we’re torturing them.”

“Yeah... This is more like what people expect from a Dark Lord.”

“I mean, I’m serving them food, so I don’t really think so... But I guess I can’t really argue now that I’m seeing this.”

“I’m so sorry...”

“Sorry.”

“Like I said, you don’t have to apologize.”

But just when Soma was wondering what the solution to this predicament would be, the head butler made a reappearance carrying two plates.

“I apologize for the delay.”

There were lids on the plates as there had been on the curry; wariness flashed across the sisters’ faces at first. But this time, the butler gave them a crooked smile and removed the lids as soon as he set the plates down.

What was underneath could only be described as white. It resembled curry...in fact, it was basically the same thing, if the brown part of curry were white. But they seemed happy to see it, less because of the appearance than because of the lack of a strong smell.

Soma knew the name of this dish too, naturally.
