I’m Back in the Other World?

I heard the bell of 6 o’clock1, so I decided to have lunch at a nearby open place.

Of course, there are no conveniently placed chairs or tables, so I laid the waterproof cloth on the ground instead. Basically, a picnic seat.

When I tried to get the backpack that the prince was holding, I suddenly noticed I was still holding hands with him.

…… I completely forgot… Were we seen when we walked through the castle and when we entered the garden?

Now I understand the meaning of the gaze from the guard knight. I guess we created quite a bit of misunderstandings.

Fortunately, we didn’t walk through a very movimented part of the castle, and even then, it was quite dark as well…

I took several deep breaths to calm down, and put the picnic cloth on the ground. Though for some reason my hands were feeling a bit lonely now that they had separated.2

We took off our shoes and sat down, then I picked the basket from the backpack and put it on the cloth. Seems like preparing the tea in advance was the best idea after all, preparations were complete after pouring it on a wooden cup.

「Saa, shall we eat? 」 I said.

Taking of the lid of the basket, we could now pick the sandwiches and the side dish.

Although it’s cold, it should be delicious anyway, as it was made by already taking that into account.

「As usual, what Sakura makes is delicious… You said this is a sandwich? This meat with vegetables looks very delicious.」

「Prince likes meat, right? While I may be a bit biased, it’s quite luxurious to have this kind of picnic lunch. I may not have red sausage, but I have all the classic things for it.」

Yes, we have the standard mini hamburger steaks, sausages, fried chicken eggs, meat dumplings, bacon, cheese, ham, potato salad and cauliflower. I’m sad that there are no mini tomatoes, but it couldn’t be helped.

Since the basket is a knitted one, it’s difficult to put something with juice in it.

Since I made this thinking of larger number of people, there might be a bit too much… It’s not a problem though, I can just eat the leftover later.

「Mu? Who told you I like meat? 」

「I could notice it just by looking at you, aren’t you always very happy whenever you eat meat? 」

I have been cooking for quite a while now. Sometimes I make fish dishes and he shows a bit of a disappointed face. I think he tries to hide it by saying it’s delicious, but I can still feel a subtle difference. However, because only meat is no good for health, I still make fish dishes

「Is that so…? You are looking very carefully.」

Is it just me, or does your voice sound quite happy?

「It is fun to watch it, but your belly is growing, you know?」

The prince’s grabbed a sandwich.

It gives a nice feeling to see the food disappearing from the obentou.

Although I ate more than usual, it can’t even compare to how much the prince ate. I was expecting 5 people, but the prince ate enough for 4 of them, even if a man eats more than a woman, it’s still amazing… Most of the obentou that I thought as surplus disappeared into the prince’s stomach.

However, the prince seems to have eaten too much, so he looks a bit pained.

「I’ve eaten too much because it was too delicious. I’ll get better if I rest a bit.」

I feel that it won’t be just a while… Saying that, I cleaned the cloth while the prince lied down.

I was wrapping things up, when I noticed it was strangely quiet.

Looking at the prince, I could see he was sleeping.

Even though today is warm, there is a cold wind blowing, if he sleeps in a place like this, he’ll get a cold.

I took out the camping blanket from my backpack and put it over the prince.
