A Beautiful Night View
Silence is currently enveloped Hanamura house.
The maids earlier today might be the cause. If there is an army of maids moving stuff around, of course, it’s going to be noisy. If you compare it to that you will definitely feel how quiet it is right now.
Everyone in the dining room is silent save for one.
How did it come to this you asked? No, let’s stop with the foolish question. The real reason is clear to everyone.
Anyone who has to be here will definitely keep their mouth shut.
I took a glance at that object.
As I look at the colorful dishes lined on top of the table I want to immediately look away. Colorful dishes are lining up like a light show in a theme park. Yes, let me say it again, it is like a night view of the theme park.
The only saving grace was the white rice, the only decent-looking thing on the table.
I look around.
“……….”
Ludi whose face is currently pale is keeping her mouth shut. Once she saw me, she slowly turned toward me with her trembling lips. However, I could only shake my head in response.
“M, My. this is so beautiful !”
Said Marino-san with a forced smile on her face. Marino-san who escaped from the scene where these biological weapons are made is the main cause of this tragedy.
“I’m confident.”
Said Nee-san with an expressionless face while pushing out her chest. I would like to question her for around an hour about where this confidence of her came from.
The reason why Claris-san is not here right now is probably that she still hasn’t recovered yet. It was around thirty minutes ago that we found her body in the kitchen.
There were traces of something emerald-green (Which also reflecting light) around her mouth. I knew immediately what caused it. It would probably take a while for her to revive.
With that, I completely missed my timing to return her panties. There’s no other choice but to seal it away as my treasure huh.
“Now, let’s eat.”
I wonder why. Nee-san’s word sounded like a death sentence.
I turned my eyes and realized that Ludi and Marino-san are watching me. They didn’t say it out loud but seem like they want me to eat it first.
I grabbed a spoon and scooped up the mysterious substance in front of me. Its texture is close to pudding. But why? Why does its color changes depending on the angle I look at it, it’s like looking at heavy oil floating in the sea.
“It should be delicious since I cooked the meat well.”
Did that meat undergo a chemical change?
I pray silently inside my heart for it to be delicious and put it in my mouth.
I heard a voice coming from somewhere. It is not only a single voice. A large number of women are inviting me over. They said that there are a lot of pretty girls over there. (They all look like they are in high school but all of them are over eighteen years old.) They would ask me to open wide to feed me fruits. Moreover, they said that I can enroll in an Ojou-sama school despite being a man. What a wonderful place. Let’s go there immediately.
When I decided to cross over, I felt a pain in my left leg.
“Ha!!”
Ludi flusteredly looking at me. Seem like she was the one hitting my leg to pull me back to reality.
“How is it?”
Nee-san asked me.
“Ye, Yeah. seem like you still need more training.”
I answered her. Eating this I need to resolve myself for death in a lot of ways.
“Uh!”
Suddenly heard a voice from behind. When turn to look I saw Marino-san eating the white rice which was supposed to be safe while holding her throat.
“Hatsumi, don’t tell me, you washed the rice with detergent?”
“Yes, It seems strong so I used it.”
“Is, is that so. You see Hatsumi, the rice should be washed by water without using detergent, you know.”
Seem like the rice was a lethal trap.
“I’m sorry, I will be more careful next time. Ludivine-san, feel free to eat anything other than the rice.”
Ludi who was stunned by their exchange jumped in surprise.
Ludi who looked like she just lost all her money through forex (TLN: Foreign currency exchange) got pulled back to reality.
“Eh, Umm.”
She picked up her spoon with a forced smile.
I turned my eyes away from her and put the food(?) inside my mouth while suppressing my trembling hand.
The taste is like a full course of bitterness, sourness, hotness, and pain. The texture is that of a salmon roe that breaks down every time you chew on it, I can not help but feel bad about it. Moreover, every time you sink your teeth in, the bitterness and acidity will spread through your mouth. The warmth is also helped in making it feel more disgusting.
Its bitterness and sourness spread through my mouth the moment I put it in, the feeling remains even after I swallowed it.
“AaaaaAAaaaaaaAAH………………○×■＃★〒‡▼※“
I heard a scream coming from the place next to me. It was Ludi’s
Soon after Ludi let out a strange scream (which may be the death throes of her body) she stands up and hurriedly leaves the room.
Hatsumi-neesan sadly casting her eyes down. Marino-san who saw that flusteredly opens her mouth.
“M, My my, I wonder what happened to Ludivine-chan. Maybe she has morning sickness or something.”
Perhaps her brain is already overheating, Marino-san is acting funny. I don’t have time to insert the retort though. But I can’t stand to see Nee-san’s sad expression so I desperately stuffed the rest of the food(?) into my mouth.
————————————-
Okay, when did I return to my room?
When I noticed it I am already back in my room, collapsing in front of my desk. On the desk, there is a note with a message on it. “Form is emptiness, Emptiness is form” . Did I just saw the truth of the universe? I don’t know whether being unable to remember is a good or bad thing.
(TLN: For those who want to learn more about Buddhism. https://studybuddhism.com/en/advanced-studies/lam-rim/vipashyana/commentary-on-the-heart-sutra-dr-berzin/form-is-emptiness-emptiness-is-form)
Knock knock, someone is knocking on my door, it is not Marino-san or Nee-san. If it is them, they would already call out to me. Then which of the other two is it.
“Please, come in”
The person who slowly opens the door and show her face was Ludi. Her elf ears that always point straight is hanging down and her face is still pale. It’s clear that she still hasn’t recovered from the earlier incident.
she enters the room without saying anything and sits upright(Seiza) on the carpet then opened her mouth.
“……..Hey, are you still alive?”
She’s serious. I may have been in the same condition as her a little while ago.
“…..That’s a thing to be happy about.”
“Happy?… What are you talking about?”
Then, I heard a pretty cute Ku~u~U~~ sound from her stomach. However, she showed little reaction to that. If it’s her from the Eroge, her face would already turn red and say something like “It’s not like that~~it must be some kind of conspiracy!!” or some bland excuse like that. But now she just slowly put her hand on her stomach.
I offered her a cup ramen without saying anything. It is the most expensive one I got from the convenience store.
However, she doesn’t move even though she received it. Apparently, she doesn’t know how to cook it. I took it from her and put mineral water into the kettle that was placed in my room. Then after I taught her how to prepare it, I hand it over to her.
I handed her a pair of chopsticks, she then started eating slowly.
A teardrop is dripping from her eyes.
“Uuu, Delicious, It’s so delicious …..”
ραпdα Йᴏνêl(сòm) She started crying. I understand how painful it is.
However, her crying face gave me a shock in a lot of ways, besides it is making me lose my composure.
She is not a woman that would easily cry in the first place. Certainly, I have seen her cry before, like at the hotel for example. But that was all. The only time I saw Ludi cried in the game was only at the climax of the fight with The Evil God Cult. There are no others besides that.
But she is crying right now.
Her crying face, to think that I would be able to see it when she is eating cup ramen…………..
