Chapter 104
"I'll call you when it's ready."
Leon nodded.
Losweiser also left the nursery and returned to her own room to prepare breakfast.
It just goes to show that the Queen is indeed the Queen; after flying all night, she still had the energy to make breakfast when she got home.
They are practically special forces of the Dragon Race.
She tied on her apron, washed and chopped the vegetables, and lit the fire to cook, everything proceeding in an orderly manner.
"Mu En's beef sandwich, bread and milk for me and the captive, and then make a... salad."
"Cucumber, tomato, onion... and some salad dressing. Hmm? Where did the salad dressing go?"
Losweiser opened the storage cabinet and began rummaging through it.
"Oh, here it is."
She reached out towards the bottle of salad dressing.
However, just as she was about to reach for the salad dressing, she noticed a few more sticks of it next to her...
Carrot.
Losweiser blinked, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.
"Make sure you have a balanced diet, Dragon Slayer."
More than half an hour later, Leon went to Losweiser's room.
Just then, Mu En returned and was helping to bring dishes from the kitchen.
Leon jogged over and took the plate from Mu En's hand. "Go wait for your meal, Mu En. Daddy will take care of it."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work Daddy."
Leon, carrying a plate of sandwiches and several glasses of milk, was about to leave the kitchen when he noticed a dish covered with a plate on the counter. He gestured towards it with his chin and asked, "Shouldn't we take that upstairs?"
While washing her hands, Losweiser glanced at it and replied, "We don't need that for now. Just bring up what you have."
"Good."
When Leon brought the dishes to the table, Mu En had already tied her little scarf and was ready to eat.
"Sandwich~ Yay!" Mu En cheered, holding up his fork.
Leon placed the sandwich in front of Mu En.
His and Losweiser's breakfast consisted of simple milk and bread.
Oh, it's said to be simple, but it's not actually that simple. Dragon Race milk is a top-notch "high-quality" product.
They don't use ordinary cows to produce milk like humans do; instead, they choose Ironclad Yak.
That thing is a genuine S-class dangerous species.
For other races, hunting them is a challenge, an honor, and a victory;
But for the Dragon Race, they are a source of delicious beef products.
The milk produced by the Ironclad Yak has several times the nutritional value of ordinary milk, which is why Leon's body was able to recover so quickly.
After washing her hands, Losweiser came to the dining table. She took off her apron, rolled down her sleeves, and tidied her hair. "Alright, let's eat."
"Time to eat!" Mu En eagerly cut her sandwich with a knife.
The couple also tacitly pushed some of the side dishes on the table towards Mu En.
Dragon girl was too young to notice the subtle details about her Daddy Mom, but she knew that as long as Mengmeng ate, Daddy Mom would be happy.
While eating the sandwich, he also picked at the side dishes on the table.
Mu En ate with great gusto.
Even though she was small, the baby dragon still had a big appetite. She wasn't at the level of an adult dragon like Losweiser who could go for days and nights without eating and be completely unaffected.
As they ate, Leon noticed that Mu En had picked out all the purple cabbage from the side dishes and put it in an empty plate next to him.
He didn't pay much attention, but then he heard Losweiser say, ⑧
"Don't be picky about food, Mu En." (Shan)
Mu En paused in her eating, a few crumbs of sandwich still clinging to the corner of her mouth. She blinked her beautiful big eyes. "Mom, purple cabbage doesn't taste good. Mu En doesn't want to eat it."
"You're at the age where you're growing, so a balanced diet is very important. If you're picky about food, you won't grow tall. Right, Leon?"
"Huh? She can eat whatever she wants—holy crap! Ouch!"
Losweiser kicked his shin under the table. (7)
"What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly." Losweiser smiled radiantly. 9.
Leon secretly rubbed his calf, rolled his eyes at the Dragon Queen, and to avoid her further harassment, Leon had no choice but to say, "You're so dirty-minded."
"Yes, Mom is right. Mu En can't be a picky eater like before. She needs a balanced diet to stay healthy."
After a pause, Leon added, "My sister is never a picky eater."
"Is that so? Then Mu En isn't picky about food anymore~ It's just purple cabbage, Mu En isn't afraid of it!"
As she spoke, Dragon girl picked up a piece of purple cabbage with her fork, looking at it with a sense of formidable threat, before swallowing it in one gulp.
She puffed out her chubby little face and kept her mouth tightly shut, as if afraid that the purple cabbage would run out of her.
After a moment of hesitation, Mu En finally swallowed the mouthful of purple cabbage.
Leon certainly knows how to handle his youngest daughter.
However, she still doted on Mu En more, saying, "Okay, just eat one slice. Take your time and eat more sandwiches."
"Thank you, Daddy! Daddy is so great!"
Losweiser smiled faintly, then seemed to suddenly remember something, "Oh, I forgot, there's still a vegetable salad that hasn't been served yet, wait a moment."
After saying that, she got up and went to the kitchen. When she came back, she was carrying a salad.
Leon recognized the large bowl that held the salad; wasn't it the same one he had seen covered with a plate in the kitchen earlier?
Losweiser just said there was no need to serve it, but now she says she forgot.
Leon swallowed almost imperceptibly, and for some reason, he had a bad feeling.
He glanced sideways at Losweiser.
Losweiser rested her chin on her hand, taking small bites of bread.
Noticing Leon's gaze, she looked over as well. "Why are you looking at me? Let's eat."
"Oh..."
"Mu En, try the vegetable salad."
Okay~
Mu En leaned forward and scooped a small amount of salad onto her plate.
"Oh, it's carrots! We haven't had carrots in ages!"
Mu En picked up a small orange-red piece from her plate with her fork and happily put it into her mouth.
Carrot.
Leon froze mid-eat.
The impact of this term on him was no less than that of his teacher's wife calling him by his full name.
Before Leon could react, Losweiser said, "Mu En, your Daddy keeps staring at that vegetable salad. What should you do now?"
Mu En's ahoge (cowlick) lifted slightly. "Serve one for Daddy!"
"Okay, let's hurry then."
Okay~
Dragon girl got up again and ladled a salad onto Leon's plate, saying, "Here you go, Daddy."
Leon looked down and saw salad dressing, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, and...
Carrot!!
It really is this thing!
What's the difference between this thing and S-class dangerous species?!
Leon's hand holding the fork trembled slightly, and he even unconsciously dragged his chair back a little.
"What's wrong, Leon? Why aren't you eating? Don't you like the salad Mu En served you?"
"Um... doesn't Daddy like it?" Mu En asked pitifully.
Leon pursed his lips and forced a smile. "No, I like it. It's a salad that Mu En made for Daddy. Daddy will definitely like it. Daddy will eat it now."
"Mmm, Daddy, eat up! Carrots are so delicious!"
Hateful.
Why don't you take after your Dad in not eating carrots?
Leon thought angrily as he poked at the salad on his plate with his fork.
He finished all the side dishes except for the carrots, then patted his stomach with feigned satisfaction, "Ah~ that was delicious, Mu En~"
"If it's so delicious, why not eat it all?" Losweiser smiled, squinting, and gestured with her chin toward the remaining carrot pieces on Leon's plate. "Are you a picky eater too?"
"I... I..."
"Daddy, you just told Mu En that she can't be a picky eater and that she needs a balanced diet."
Dragon girl immediately put her newfound knowledge to use. "Otherwise, you won't be healthy. Daddy, you're always so dizzy, so you absolutely can't be picky about food!"
"Mu En is right, Leon. Your health is already poor, so you absolutely cannot be picky about food."
Losweiser spoke softly, as if she genuinely cared about Leon's health—
Oh, she really cares.
"Eat quickly, don't let Mu En worry about your health."
As she spoke, she tenderly reached out and gently placed her hand on Leon's trembling hand, saying, "Getting well is more important than anything else."
Finally, the Dragon Queen mouthed "Husband~".
The smell of carrots had rendered Leon unable to think straight.
All he knew was that, with the mother and daughter's coordinated attack, he had no choice but to eat the remaining carrots.
... good!
Eat it!
Would a top-tier Dragon Slayer be afraid of such ordinary crops?!
Eat! Eat up! This tattered bowl...
Who says someone who's afraid of carrots isn't a hero!
Leon forked a carrot cube and bravely stuffed it into his mouth.
The moment the carrot assaulted his taste buds, Leon thought he looked incredibly cute—
Although he didn't know what his great-grandmother looked like.
"Oh~ Daddy isn't a picky eater, Daddy's so great~ Then Mu En wants another piece of purple cabbage too~"
Good daughter, you know how to spend time with someone.
Losweiser smiled faintly, picked up a whole carrot beside her, and took a small bite.
Snap—
Leon turned his head to look awkwardly.
Losweiser calmly chewed on the horrifying crop.
Noticing Leon's gaze, she deliberately took another bite in front of him and chewed it slowly.
