Evil-like Duke Household

Some time between father and son 2

TL note, this chapter is from Grid Ractos’s POV.

After the maid had left, Jake ascertained that there were no other people nearby.

He stroked his chest in relief.

[Hahaha, you don’t need to act all embarrassed like that, right?] – Raul [Even if you say so …..I don’t have any experience regarding such things after all…] – Jake

Count Raul laughed pleasantly.

Really, Jake is such shy person after all.

The future is gonna be hard.

Can I see my grandchild’s face, I wonder ~ ?

Erza …. no, no comment.

[Well you know, it won’t just jump out into engagement, then quick marriage. First you will start as friends. Maybe something like that?] – Raul [ ….Well, I , don’t really know the proper way to treat women you know ….. Haah. Okay, I understand. If you give me time until the end of this month i will think about it.] – Jake [Oh! Thank you very much Jake-kun! ! Ah, we wouldn’t mind to have the marriage from our side, you know? Rather than preserving our noble lineage, we regard the sorcery’s lineage more , if it’s our daughter and Jake’s kid, surely the magical aptitude will become the best. Ah, if possible , the right of naming the grandchild will be mi …… ] [Wai-wait, we haven’t even met each other, what are you blabbering about!? ] – Jake

That’s right!

It’s too fast to make such conclusions!

I too also want to become the one who names my granddaughter! (ED: How do they know the gender already? 0.0)

[Haha …. oh look, I still have a bit work left so I will take my leave here …. the end of this month, I look forward to it you know. Jake kun ] – Raul

Having said that, Count Raul left the place in good humour.

I will not yield the naming right of my granddaughter!

Oh, that was close, I almost forgot to ask Jake about why he came here.

[Then, Jake. Do you need something from me?] [Ah, not like that. I got a bit of time up my sleeve you know; I thought ‘Maybe it’s good for a father and son to eat together sometimes’, you know?] – Jake

Ah , is that so?

Father and son eating together …. it has been a while eh ~

Yep, maybe it’s good.

[ ….. Which store are we talking about? ] – Grid [Well that, of course, 『Crescent Moon Pavilion』] – Jake

Oh, that place !

Now that i remember it, some time ago I wanted to go to that place, but a lot of things happened and so I ended up not being able to go right ~ ~ (TL : chapter 2)

A store that serves food or ingredients from foreign countries.

The truth is, right now, it’s a boom for foreign food for me.

[Actually, I just received new information, you know? That thing, already exists at that place, you know?] – Jake

Having said that, Jake made some kind of gesture of cutting something with his hand.

This movement, the thing that the Crescent moon pavilion shopkeeper does …..

No way, is it sashimi ! ?

Since there is no culture to eat raw fish in my country, such food seen as something weird, but it was my favourite!

Since there is no ocean in Azolias Country, if you wanted to eat that then you had to order the thing to be preserved with freezing sorcery, and since it takes really long time and work, it’s quite hard to get a hold of, you know ~ ?.

[By the way, this too.] Jake

This time, his hand made a small bowl like shape and moved it into his mouth gesture.

No-no way, this is … ! !

[Is it all truth ! ? ] Grid

I unconsciously raised my voice.

Wait, you don’t mean it’s Ginjo right ! ?

What? What kind of celebration is today!?

Independence day is still the month after next one you know! ?

My birthday is still half a year away from now you know! ?

[Jake! We have to make haste! ! ] [ Kishishi ….. you no need to rush, I already told the shopkeeper about it, you know? There’s still quite time after all, even if you don’t rush there it won’t be a problem.]

that’s not the problem !

I want to eat it as quickly as possible !

Ah, I’ll look forward to this. Today seems like it will become the best day ! !
