The mysterious light that was flying around in front of me was now circling around my head, trying to tell me something. When I followed it with my eyes, Liam came down from the second floor.

"Good morning, Liam. Would you like some breakfast?

Good morning. Oh, please.

"Sit down and wait for me."

Liam sat at the back of the counter in his usual position. At the same time, I heard the door of Chiyo's room open.

"Lana! It is sunny and feels good today, so I will wash it now. I'll finish what's in Lana's room with you... hmm... Good morning, Liam. I'm sorry for the noise from the morning, please take your time."

When I held the basket with a pile of laundry in it, and wondered how Chiyo had come out of the room, I noticed the presence of Liam, who had not been there before, and rushed back to hold the basket to hide the laundry.

Chiyo passed behind Liam with a bit of embarrassment and went to the back of the shop.

"Ah, thank you, Chiyo!

Thank Chiyo's back and prepare Liam's breakfast. Chiyo's room has an entrance and exit in the front counter, so this is inconvenient.

Since the day Liam brought Fred back to the inn in a dryness, I have often exchanged words with him. As always, you can't show your face with the hood on your eyes. I don't know the nature well, but I don't think it's a bad person.

"Here you go. I stopped rice balls today. I can replace rice and miso soup, so please don't hesitate to tell me."

"Thank you. Ah, egg grill."

Fufu, you really like egg grilling.

Now, I thought Liam would get tired of rice balls every day, so I prepared the same thing as breakfast for me and Chiyo today. Besides, I made Liam's favorite egg grill this morning, so I thought I'd do it again.

As I thought, the tone of my voice made me happy. I was careful not to treat Chiyo specially in the past, and I wondered whether this kind of thing would happen, but I think it is good occasionally because you have been using this inn for more than six months.

"Yes, the egg grill made by the general is really delicious. By the way, how do I eat this seaweed?

The menu this morning is white rice, wakame and onion miso soup, sweet egg grilled, grilled salmon, new incense, homemade seasoned seaweed.

I really wanted to eat seasoned seaweed for breakfast, so I applied a mixture of soy sauce and mirin and dried it to make it. I can't remember that tingling feeling, but I'm generally satisfied...?

"Ah, you can eat it as it is, and it's delicious if you put a little soy sauce on it and wrap it in rice."

"Now, wrap up the rice?

"Please lend it to me. I'll show you once."

Liam gave me a teacup and chopsticks over the counter, picked up a piece of seaweed, and wrapped the rice with chopsticks to show it to me. Liam was looking at me with a little lift of the hood to see how it went. At that time, I looked from the nose to the bottom, but it seems like you have a very neat look.

"I see. It's a bit difficult for me...."

"It's a way to eat in Japan, but there are also ways to eat seasonings in the mouth. I put the rice in my mouth first, and then I put the strawberries in my mouth together and chew them. The order can be reversed. It may be difficult until you get used to it, but then the white rice will taste even better."

When I returned the teacup and chopsticks, he ate what he had shown by winding it up as an example. Apparently, I liked it. I put rice in my mouth first, and put soy sauce on the seaweed and put it in my mouth. Are you satisfied with the taste while chewing with the mog? Yeah, I'm nodding and eating.

Liam has a very honest personality. I can't believe you're a little cute because you're going to try it like I said right away. Would it be rude to think of an adult man like this?

Liam practiced mouth seasoning brilliantly, and after a delicious meal, she enjoyed the after-dinner tea and spoke to me rarely this morning about whether she had time to spare.

"By the way, where did the General learn to cook? After all, did you study in Japan?"

"Fufu, Fred said the same thing before. No, I don't study abroad. Everything is self-taught, but I learned basically from my father, who was a cook."

"What? When did you have such a conversation with him...?

"That was a long time ago. When I was going out, Fred took me to the market. I only talked a little about it then. I thought you were both very patient back then, so I kept my conversation to a minimum, but I've been talking normally ever since."

Liam shut up about my words. I wonder if I shouldn't have had much to do with you two. I have spoken to you gently since then, and I wondered if there was any problem.

"Did something like that happen? No, I was a little surprised because I didn't know."

"I've been adding sweets and enjoying tea with you the other day, but if it's not very desirable, should I refrain from inviting you here in the future?

"No, that's nothing....."

When Liam tried to answer the question, something glowing that was flying around me jumped into his hood and shifted it backwards.

"Ah...."

"Wow, what?

Liam's resistance was empty, and the hood fell off and his face was exposed. He wore a hood again in a hurry, but I stood in front of him and looked him in the face.

Is this a bad development?

His face was very similar to that of His Highness Wilfred, with blonde hair and blue and purple eyes. I have a different impression because my hair colour is different, but perhaps your Majesty's Shadow Warrior?

What, is that a little too short-circuited? But if it's just like this, I think I'll be able to dye my hair black. That's why I think I can't expose my face. Well, maybe Fred is, too.

I'm curious, but I can't ask you about this.

"Sorry, something has been flying around the store since this morning. Are you all right?

"No, the hood just came off. Ha, I liked this place, but I think I need to find another place to stay...."

"Um, I won't tell anyone. So if you like it here, you don't have to move. Can't you trust me...?

Liam lifted the hood and gazed into my eyes. I'm trying to figure out if I'm trustworthy.

Of course, it is decided that it is better not to be involved in such trouble, but now that I have looked at my face badly, it is possible that my mouth will be sealed. It's not just me, but the Chiyos who know they exist.

"Do you know who we are?

"... are you two the noble shadow warriors of this country...?

After hearing my answer, Liam remained silent for a while and was thinking about something. Then he exhaled deeply and began to talk with a troubled face.

"I see. Have you ever seen His Highness? Well, then, there's no such thing as deception. Yes, we are His Majesty's Shadow Warriors. Now that I know about this, I really want you to cooperate. I can trust you. For our part, we wanted Ichii to help us, so this is a good opportunity."

"Even if they say I can help, I can only stay in a hotel. Can I reveal my identity so easily?

I never thought I'd reveal myself as a shadow warrior so lightly. Even if you ask me to cooperate, I can only do what I've always done without anything.

"There's no safe hiding place like this. I'll ask you later to sign the affidavit and pass the blood test. It triggers magic and keeps our secrets from being revealed. The magic isn't harmful to the body, so don't worry about it. Even if they say no, they have to sign it for your own safety. I'll be in trouble, but thank you."

Oh, a blood pledge. It's natural to seal your mouth with magic, and I can rest assured that you don't have to worry about inadvertently rubbing your mouth.

"It's a natural obligation not to share your information with the outside world. Never mind."

Unexpectedly, I became indirectly involved with Lord Wilfred. It's because of that glowing bug. You're such a jerk. I wonder what this really is? When Taki comes to work, we have to ask him if he can see us.
