Chapter 130: Gluttony
[space_man][space_man]Currently, an unusual scene was being witnessed in the large dining hall. Two red-haired, red-eyed women were sitting side by side, devouring dish after dish.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]And beside them, a white-haired girl and an odd-eyed young man were slowly eating a large amount of food.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Both of you, it’s fine to eat a lot, but eat more slowly.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Eld says to Marie and Jilva, who are sitting across from each other and eating.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Ahaha. I’m always like this.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Saying that, Jilva shoves a plate full of boiled beans into her mouth all at once. Marie ignores Eld’s words. Eld sighed and resumed his meal.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”By the way, Eld. I was wondering about something from earlier.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Moira says, wiping her mouth after finishing a plate.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Why couldn’t Marie stop you?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Oh, that’s easy.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Eld says while cutting his meat.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”The bracelets you both gave me as engagement presents, you can seal magic in them, right? Just like I had Moira put a Reflection Barrier spell in hers, I had Marie put a Physical Enhancement spell in mine.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Moira nodded in understanding after hearing that.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”I see. So because it was magic that went through the same magic power, she couldn’t stop Eld, who has a lot of muscle strength.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”That’s right. That’s why Layla told me to increase my muscle strength. Ideally, it seems like it’s best to train both magic power and muscle strength.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]……The food here is still delicious as always.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Eld orders more of the dish he’s currently eating, and Moira orders dessert.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Hmm, I never thought I’d be able to eat such delicious desserts in such a remote place. If you showed them off in the central capital, they’d be a huge hit.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Maybe so.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Even as Eld and Moira finished their meals and were enjoying their after-dinner tea, Marie and Jilva continued eating.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”You guys really eat a lot. And Marie, you usually get by with one large plate of food, but how much are you going to eat today? I can’t imagine how much magic power you usually put into your cooking……Well, I guess you’re stress-eating today, too.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]As soon as he finished speaking, a spoon flew from Marie’s direction. Eld effortlessly stops it.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Don’t throw tableware just because I hit a nerve.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Eld returned the spoon to Marie.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Ahaha……”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Moira could only laugh bitterly.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Marie and Jilva finished eating about an hour later.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Haa, I ate, I ate. I ate a little too much because of Marie.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Jilva says while patting her stomach.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”You have to keep your own pace.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Marie says while drinking her after-dinner tea.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Marie, you need to show some restraint, too.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Moira says with cream on the corner of her mouth.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Moira, how many of those dessert sets is that?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Let’s see……four?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Moira had ordered more dessert while waiting for Marie because she felt like eating more.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”……You’re going to gain weight, you know.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Moira’s hand stopped upon hearing that.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”I-It’s okay……I’ve actually been losing weight recently……”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Moira says as if to convince herself.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Isn’t that because you’ve been eating less thanks to my cooking……?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Moira averted her eyes at Marie’s words.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Ah, I’m going to start training to increase my muscle strength tomorrow, so it’s okay, it’s okay……”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Moira says again, as if trying to convince herself. Seeing that, Marie sighs.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Hey Eld, is it okay for Moira to gain any more weight, based on your preferences?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]She calls out to Eld, who was reading a book to kill time while waiting.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Hmm……I think she’s at the limit now.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Eld says without looking up from his book. Moira puts down the fork she was holding upon hearing that. It wasn’t because she was shocked, but because she had finished eating.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Then I’ll work hard from tomorrow.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Hearing that, Marie sighed once again.
