第１５０５堀：健啖家の奴隷さん (Part2)
The group immediately began examining those who had collapsed from overeating, swiftly moving them away on stretchers or guiding them to walk off the effects.
"We know that people collapsing from gluttony is a recurring event, so we keep them on standby. When Rurua uses her name, no one dares to object."
"It would be nothing short of idiocy for dignitaries to die from overeating. They know it, too. In fact, it feels like they’re pushing themselves to eat *because* they know."
Is that really the case?
Well, I had heard that such things were common in Weed, and I knew that tourists were frequently carted off to the hospital for overindulging, but to think even the high-ranking officials were like this...
"Ah, so it's the 'eating until the doctor says stop' kind of situation, then."
"They're such fools, aren't they?"
Honestly, Ria-sama, Dressa-sama, please stop laughing and do something about Canaria-san next to you.
I have a sinking feeling that listening to this conversation is only making her eat faster.
"Still, it’s a shame. We have such delicious meals prepared for lunch and dinner, yet they go and collapse here."
"True. The meals in Weed aren't the sort of thing you can just finish in one sitting."
As Yuki-sama and Seraria-sama added this, the surrounding area fell silent in an instant.
And the one who reacted most strongly to those words was...
"There is... even more delicious food to come?"
Canaria-san, who had paused her meal, looked at them with an expression of utter disbelief.
Wait, was the princess a gluttonous character all along?
"There is. This breakfast is still just the general, standard level."
"This... this level of flavor is merely general..."
"It’s surprising, isn't it? But it’s the truth. We were discussing how we wanted to try something a bit more specialized for lunch and dinner."
"Specialized, you say?"
"That’s right. For instance, the meat you’re eating right now—we have versions that are much thicker and larger."
"Not just some bone-in monster meat, but high-quality, well-raised marbled beef. It’s at a level that makes it hard to believe it was just grilled."
"To think such things exist."
Hmm, I can see that Canaria-san is surprised, though her expression remains as stoic as ever.
Still, looking at the current situation, it’s clear she has an extraordinary interest in food.
As for the meat, truly well-raised meat is delicious.
Yuki-sama and the others seem to enjoy feeding people such delicacies, and I’ve been quite spoiled by it myself.
It’s delicious, certainly, but then I see the prices afterward and get a shock.
On my salary... I can only go a few days a month.
Wait? Is that actually enough?
I mean, compared to when I was a nursing apprentice... ah, let’s not think about that.
"So, I wouldn't recommend eating too much right now. You should pace yourself, Canaria-dono."
"She’s right. There’s plenty more coming, so keep some room."
I need to adjust my own intake, too, or I won't be able to move during training.
Senar-sama is quite strict about that sort of thing.
"Understood. Then, I shall conclude my breakfast with what I have now. Also, Yuki-sama, please drop the honorifics and call me simply Canaria. There is no need to be so formal with a slave."
"Are you sure? Yesterday, we didn't have much time to talk before you rested, so I wasn't sure how to address you, but if that’s what you wish... I look forward to working with you."
"Yes. I look forward to it as well. Though, I am unsure of what I am expected to do."
"That isn't something to discuss here. Well, telling you not to worry because I won't treat you poorly might only make you more anxious, I suppose."
"No. Even the way you have treated me thus far is not how one treats a slave. Especially considering my background, it is unheard of. Given that, I can trust you."
"I’m glad to hear you think so. Well, for us, this place is still a political workspace, so aside from casual chatter, we cannot discuss your treatment in detail. As I said before, you should get along with Ria and Dressa, and perhaps use this as practice for when we speak later."
"Understood."
Canaria-san replied and immediately resumed her meal.
We finally returned to our own breakfasts as well.
Eating plenty is a good thing.
Well, as long as you don't collapse from it.
