Then, when Anju-san tried to put Flora-sama’s portion in front of her.
[Anju-san, there’s a separate one for Flora-sama, so please send that one to someone else.] Yuna
[I understand.] Anju
The fruit parfaits were distributed to everyone except Flora-sama.
And finally, I put a special fruit parfait in front of Flora-sama.
[It’s Bear-san!] Flora
Yes, the fruit parfait placed in front of Flora-sama has ice cream in the shape of a bear’s face. It’s decorated with cookies and fruits.
[Ara, I see you made a special one for Flora-sama.] Eleanora
Eleanora-san compares her fruit parfait with the fruit parfait in front of Flora-sama. She seems to be wanting the same thing.
[It’s too much trouble to make enough for everyone, so it’s only Flora-sama.] Yuna
I didn’t made the same for everyone because it was indeed a lot of work.
Besides, it would be pictorially problematic for the King to eat a fruit parfait in the shape of a bear. So, the bear-shaped fruit parfait will only be for Flora-sama.
Finally, I prepared a spoon and fork. When Flora-sama takes the fork, she looks up at me.
[Can I eat it?] Flora
[It’s okay.] Yuna
When I gave my permission, Flora-sama pondered a bit, then stuck her fork into the fruit and brought it to her mouth.
[It’s cold and delicious.] Flora
The fruit is also chilled. I think I’ll make sorbet next time.
[Some of these fruits I’ve never seen before.] King
Then the King took a mouthful of sliced banana.
Do you not get bananas around here?
[It’s delicious.] Tilia
[That’s true.] Marcus
[Where did you get all these fruits from?] King
[Hmmm, from different places?] Yuna
I can’t say anything about Targui, so I’ll try to trick them.
[Why the question form?] King
[Because it’s a maiden’s secret.] Yuna
[A maiden, she said.] King
There’s a damsel dressed as a bear in front of you. Do you have bad eyesight?
[All the fruits are delicious, and so is the pudding. There is more than one flavor, so you can enjoy it endlessly. It looks gorgeous with all the colorful fruits on it. It would stand out at a royal party.] King
The fruit parfait is garnished with bananas, oranges, peaches, strawberries, cherries, and grapes.
[Yuna-chan, you have great taste in decorations.] Eleanora
[You have no taste in clothes, though.] King
The King looks at my outfit while Eleanora-san compliments me.
It’s not that I chose to wear it. It was God who made me wear the bear suit.
[What are you talking about? It’s so cute, isn’t it?] Eleanora
[There’s a difference between being pretty and wanting to wear it. Do you want to wear it?] King
[Hmmm, I wish I could dress my daughters like that.] Eleanora
At Eleanora-san’s words, except Flora-sama and the Queen, everyone looked at Shia.
[No, thank you.] Shia
Shia politely declined her mother’s wishes.
[Ara~ Marcus, don’t you think Shia would look good in it, too?] Eleanora
[Etto, that would be…] Marcus
Marcus began to feel troubled speaking when he was asked suddenly.
Marcus looked at Eleanora-san and Shia before opening his mouth.
[I think it’s best not to force her anything she doesn’t want to.] Marcus
After putting so much thought into it, he answered defensively for Shia.
But is wearing a bear suit something to despise that much?
Well, if I were in Shia’s position, I would feel the same way, so I can’t blame her.
