That was all Hakuou said before returning to his work.
Those words, whispered silently and inconspicuously, seemed to me as if it was not Jill, but Hakuou himself who could not find forgiveness for the sin he wrought that day.
Jill never talked much about himself.
So I didn’t know whether or not he had forgiven them.
Yet on that day in the mountains enclosed by countless beautiful flowers, what I learned was that he was a man more delicate and fragile than I thought; but who, for the sake of this country—for the sake of protecting those living here—had devoted his life to his cause.
Besides, I was sure—

“You might not know what’s going on in his mind, but this way the days can go by in peace. Besides—I’m here by Jill’s side now. Unfortunately for Hakuou and Belus, it’s not your turn anymore.”
In the pan, the garlic and onion let out a satisfying sizzle.
I had planned to be silent and polite, so why did it come to this?
“But, well, I would still need Hakuou and Belus and everyone else working for Jill.”
“—Lilius-kun”
Especially now, I very much needed them.
“Uh—Help me please, the onions and garlic have turned blue somehow.”
“……Lilius-kun”
The onions and garlic unfortunately couldn’t read the air, and weren’t taking ‘wait’ for an answer. They were gradually turning from green to blue-green. They looked disgusting, to put it mildly.
With a dumbfounded look in his eyes, Hakuou took the onions that had turned bright blue.
What kind of abomination had I managed to create? To my relief, it was actually something possible but rarely occurring.
I wondered what poor soul would eat a dish with blue sauce on it, but Guy, who had washed his hands after coming in, showed courageous curiosity and insisted on tasting it.

Update 2/2
Awww poor Guy 😅 but I’m glad Lilius said that to Hakuou
Thanks for the update~
Thankyou for the update!
Hakuo must be shocked… by what he said and that Lilius is a talent in creating weird dishes. I hope Guy won’t get food poisoning.
Thank you for the chapters!!!
