No One Noticed Me Sneaking In!!!

"It's already cooled down a lot." Sieg blew lightly on it. "I thought steak wouldn't be too hot. Don't people in books always talk about steak being seven or eight-tenths cooked?"

Sieg usually read books whenever he had nothing to do, so he knew quite a few things by now.

Still, Shirou could not help feeling a little embarrassed when he heard that.

Because this was practically grilled steak—grilled until it was completely well-done.

He had started cooking without looking at a recipe. Although it tasted passable, it could hardly be called flavorful and juicy.

"As long as it tastes good."

"It'd be nice if we could have another meal like this someday. But tonight's dinner feels so lavish... like it might be our last supper."

"Ptui, ptui, ptui! Don't say something so unlucky."

Jeanne d'Arc glared at Sieg, her mouth full of meat. "When there's food, eat properly. When there's meat, eat it happily. There'll be another meal, understand?"

"Ruler's right. Even though you're also a homunculus, you really don't know how to enjoy yourself. Eat this meal for what it is—don't think about the next one." Mordred raised her plate, where the meat was piled into a small mountain.

"Though Saber can be a little eccentric sometimes, that was a very reasonable thing to say."

"Ruler, even if you do play favorites, you certainly know your food."

Holding plates piled high with meat, Ruler and Saber immediately began praising each other, chatting and laughing merrily.

In the blink of an eye, time vanished amid their laughter and conversation.

The meat on their plates was gone, and even the cakes and pastries on the table had been cleaned out.

"We ate everything." Fiore said in surprise.

"Big Sis ate quite a lot too." Caules's gaze shifted toward Fiore's stomach.
