It was pointless to stay dazed forever, so I pulled myself together and headed for the kitchen.
To be honest, this was my first time here.
At this hour, the servants should be taking their turn at breakfast, so I had expected the kitchen to be empty. However, there was still one person remaining.
I was relieved. The man turned around, his pink-tinged, pale blond hair swaying lightly.
“Hmm? My, my, so they’ve let you out of your room.”
“Aa.”
“You must be relieved.”

He had that kind of calm, easygoing air that would make it very easy to let one’s guard down when talking to him.
“Uh, you’re the chef here, right?”
“Nice to meet you, I am Hakuou. The head chef of Moorwright Household.”
“Haku-ou……?”
“Ah, I am not of this country originally. The language I was born to had very different letters and pronunciations.”
“I see! I’m not from this country either.”
“Indeed, Lilius-kun is much cuter than the stories I’ve heard.”
Hakuou laughed, tilting his head in a lax manner.
Maybe it was improper of me to be so excited, but it confused me to be called cute. Far from being happy, I felt disgruntled, but it was difficult to get mad at this person, so instead I only squirmed and fell silent.
“……”
“Fufu. So, is there anything I could help with today?”
“Ah, nothing much. Just, I was wondering if we could change the menu,”
The slow atmosphere had almost made me forget it, but I came here with a purpose.
Honestly, I wanted to keep on as before and continue eating just vegetables, but, at least for Jill’s sake, I decided to be more healthy.
First, I should work on my eating habits. Living only on vegetables was too unbalanced nutrition-wise, and was bad for the body.
I had always avoided meat and fish because of the bloody stink, but I guess I couldn’t say that anymore.
I was also sick of having unexplainable collapses and heart attacks.

Hakuou is a golden retriever.

Ah, on their first meeting Lilius is teased by the chef. But it’s a friendly teasing. I just wonder if Lilius’s menu change is doable? After eating just vegies for so long…
Thank you for the chapter!!!
