“Please feel free, today’s snack is strawberry daifuku.”

“ “……Strawberry daifuku?” ”

Remias stares with a blank expression. George is staring intently at the strawberry daifuku with an expression full of expectation.

“Since it is spring right? It is a confection making use of strawberry filling. Come have a bite〜”

And this tea is green tea.

Fuuー. Its calming〜.

“This tea is…… it is different from black tea isn’t it. It is a clear and refreshing taste huh.”

“This is delicious! I like it too. Father is also pleased with it.”

Familiar with drinking the green tea here, George is continuously gulping eating rapidly.

In regards to Remias he eats in order to savour(appreciate) it.

They say they are friends, but the two are very contrastive.

“This, is it a different variety of tea leaf than the usual black tea?”

“No〜 it is made from the same tea leaves. Only the method of processing is different.”

The tea is made by fermenting the tea leaves. Both black tea and green tea can be made from the same tea leaves, black tea allows the tea leaves to ferment, while green tea is not fermented.

Green tea can be made by steaming the tea leaves then rubbing and drying.

It’s much easier than black tea.

While explaining how to make green tea, Remias admired nodding many times.

“To be made from the same tea leaves…… it feels like a completely different tea. It’s a splendid idea(way of thinking). I can’t deny that Signora is developing innovative merchandise one after the other.”

“Wellll〜 However that muuuch〜”

Nooo, it feels embarrassing receiving so much praise for my trivial bits of housewife knowledge.

Tte, Signora’s product development, I mean, it leaked out!

I shake my head while shedding cold sweat.

“Nu, nooo, the products of Signora is Okaa-sama”

“Huh(Are)? It was a secret? Sorry, I, said it.”

“Ehー!! To say a secret, it isn’t! Mou! Because I didn’t care about George.”

“Ehー Even if in the wrong please be honest(fix the mood). Since I’ll do this. Na?”

“Isn’t it the Daifuku I brought you! Really(good grief)!”

“Kusukusukusu(giggle sfx). A close relationship right?”

While being angry with George, he was laughing again.

Remias who is smiling is beautiful and fleeting(fragile).

Fleeting…… Generally, it is not a suitable expression for a child at the mischievous peak of boyhood.

I wonder how this unhealthiness came about.

“By the way Remias….. You, are you taking your meals properly?”

“My meals……?”

Because the talk suddenly changed, Remias was looking blankly.

“Remias is fiercely picky. Does not eat meat or fish, practically does not eat any vegetables.”

George told me instead

Uーn. That isn’t good for your health.

“That isn’t good! The meal is the foundation of health. Especially for your age, eating well, playing well, and sleeping well is the basics! Are you sleeping at night?”

“Lately, I could not sleep much……”

Therefore you have giant kuma-sans(dark shadows) under your eyes?

Kuma-san must be fought off!

“In that case, I will give you chamomile tea. Drink it to calm your mind before going to bed, so you may sleep well. Okay?”

Still another improvement would be the pickiness…….

Thats right!

“Remias, let’s go on a picnic! Our cook has the most skilled! Let’s reduce your feelings(stomach) at a picnic and eat a delicious Obentou(boxed lunch) to get rid of your pickiness!”

Children often don’t like vegetables. If you let them know that vegetables are also tasty, they will come to be able to eat them.

Lets use this opportunity as a starting point to reduce the likes and dislikes.

Remias once again was staring blankly but, gradually it turned into a happy smile.

“Going on a picnic! It seems enjoyable!”

“Yes, yes, I am looking forward to it!”

“M, Me too! I’m going too!”

While the pair was smiling, for some reason George wedged himself in with a face flushed bright red.

Forcibly placing his body between us whose hands had come together to be holding hands even now.

I wonder whats wrong.

Did you feel lonely getting left out?

“Isn’t it natural? Lets all go together.”

Smiling sweetly, I patted George’s head

There there, good boy good boy.

When George shakes off my hand, his face became more and more red and turned away.

“Fu, fuun!”

“Fufufu”

“Hahaha”

It was a very peaceful spring afternoon.
