「Like—I—said, I realized what it is that I really can do.」 (Velt)
「It's fine. I've been telling mom how you've been taking care of me in various ways.」 (Velt)
It's not like I up and quit. I properly turned in the withdraw form, and asked the king for a word since he helped me enter the school. He seemed busy, so we couldn't meet, and I wasn't able to obtain approval.
「Veeeeeeeeelllllllltttttttt!」 (Forna)
The angry roar I'm used to hearing. Well, I thought she would come.
「What are you thinking! Dropping out of school as you please, how big of an idiot are you? You haven't even graduated grade school, what do you plan to do in the future?」 (Forna)
It's Forna. Somehow, she's been talking like my mother lately about my future, and frankly what I want to do hasn't changed.
「Forna. The thing is, I didn't quit without thinking about anything. I quit after I thought about the future.」 (Velt)
「Ha?」 (Forna)
As proof, the glass and plate that the customer had finished with floated back to kitchen.
「This is...」 (Forna)
「What are you talking about. I wasn't able to make anything levitate a bit before right? Now I can make things move.」 (Velt)
「Certainly. Though sensei is a chef, he has various useful abilities.」 (Velt)
「E, ehhh? Wh, you, are you planning on living by only using levitation magic?」 (Teacher)
「What's that, suddenly having a serious face.」 (Forna)
「...」 (Forna, Teacher)
Lately, I've realized that, while Forna has her annoying moments, she's truly been thinking about me even though she's only ten years old. Therefore, if my earnestness is truly transmitted, she'll believe in me.
「Hmm~~~~~~~~~~ Don't come crying to me later.」 (Forna)
She really will become a good woman in the future. A splendid princess, too. I think I'll be tossed aside when the day comes.
「*Sniff*, I understand. It's hard for sensei, but I'll watch over you for a while. But, if you have anything you want to talk about do come talk to me? Ok?」 (Teacher)
「Hah? I put out front that we're on break right now didn't I? Sensei isn't here either.」 (Velt)
「That's my practice. I can't let you eat it.」 (Velt)
Forna pointed at a small pot hidden in the kitchen where I was putting together soup. Teacher was surprised as well.
「No way, Velt-kun cooks?」 (Teacher)
「Like—I—said, why didn't you consult me as a teacher! *Mou*, I'm mad. Give me that!」 (Teacher)
「Just, let me have it! I am not teacher right now, I'm a customer! Your customer is hungry! Now, give it here!」 (Teacher)
「That's right. Let's see what he's got.」 (Teacher)
Forna with chopsticks, and teacher with a fork, they tried the ramen I made. And, what happened next was,
「*Bleeehhhhhh.*」 (Teacher)
「Your sloppy cooking is what's disgusting! The stock and ingredients don't go together at all, and the ingredients have been boiled too much!」 (Forna)
「What?」 (Velt)
I took a spoon and tried the soup.
「*Ur*, it really is bad. I really shouldn't have let you try it.」 (Velt)
「...Speaking of which, Velt-kun's resolution... can't be trusted...」 (Teacher)
My resolution is firm, but the road ahead is long.
