67 – Family

When I opened the door, what I saw was Layla sitting on the bed, covered in a blanket.

Her hair is frizzy from not showering for days.

Maybe because she didn’t eat, she’s even skinnier.

Dark circles under her eyes, perhaps because she had not slept well.

And those blank eyes that don’t show any emotions.

It was similar to how I was before I met Iris.

“Are you feeling well?”

I opened her mouth with her light tone as usual.

“… ….”

But there is no reply.

But after a while, a small voice came from Lila’s mouth as she repeatedly opened and closed her mouth.

“…… Yes. I’m OK….”

“You don’t look okay at all.”

“… ….”

Lyla’s mouth closed again.

Perhaps you know that too.

She told me that she wasn’t in very good shape.

“Why haven’t you eaten rice in a while?”

“I just don’t have an appetite.”

“Even so, you should eat little by little. You’re already thin, but did you know you’re even thinner?”

At her question, Lila turns her head to look at her own arm.

She lived on water for almost a week, so now all she sees is her bones.

I need to eat first.

“Follow me outside.”

“Out…… ?”

“Yes.”

Lyla’s face hardened for the first time, as if she was afraid to go outside.

But I had no intention of keeping him in the room.

If you don’t like it, you have to move it by force.

She stretched out her hand toward Lila, who had burrowed further into the covers.

Now then.

“…… Uh?”

Layla’s expression, which had been stained with fear, was colored with bewilderment.

Her Naturally, everyone would be surprised when her own body suddenly floated in the air.

“If you don’t want to walk out yourself, you can take it yourself.”

After saying nothing, I turned to leave the room with Lyla, who had been lifted up by telekinesis magic.

And that moment when Lila and I are about to go on a visit.

“Ji, I’ll walk myself…” …. So please get down….”

“Yes.”

At Layla’s request, she released her telekinesis magic.

Have you been in bed for several days?

Her legs trembled slightly, as if it had been a long time since she had stood on her own two feet.

But soon her legs got stronger, and Lila started to walk naturally.

After confirming her appearance, I nodded lightly at her and left the room.

Ttogak. Again. Sabak. Sabak.

The sound of light shoes and light footsteps resonates in the mansion in the quiet dawn.

Because it is past midnight, no one is awake.

It was Lila who left the room in her nightgown, but she had no one to point out about her attire.

“… ….”

“… ….”

She didn’t ask where I was heading.

They just silently followed behind me.

Fortunately, I didn’t see Layla wary of me at all.

It was then that she moved her feet to the restaurant without any problems.

Awkward.

Lila held her arm tightly.

“Why is that?”

When she turned her head and looked at Lila, her body was trembling for some reason.

Why are you doing this all of a sudden?

I turned my gaze to where Layla was watching while trembling at the sudden action for no reason.

“Ah… ….”

And only then did I understand why Lila was seriously shaking.

We are currently standing in the center of the mansion.

Layla is looking at the back door, on the other side of the restaurant.

And it was the same place where Euler died a few days ago.

Her heart sank as she recalled the memory of that time.

I still vividly recall the painful memories of that time.

My heart starts beating fast.

My body starts to tremble slightly.

“Whoa… ….”

He took a deep breath and exhaled.

The dead don’t come back.

How long will we mourn Euler’s death?

You shouldn’t live as you are now, even for the sake of the dead Euler.

Isn’t that why he rejected Iris’s magic and came to Lila himself?

“Older brother… …. Oh, over there, my father……. If I had paid more attention…….”

Thick tears welled up in Lila’s trembling eyes.

“Well, it’s all my fault. If I had conveyed the truth to my brother sooner…….”

Interrupting Lyla, her voice quivering, I hugged her.

I didn’t know exactly because of her clothes, but when I hugged her, I felt that she was even thinner.

“Calm down, Lila. Because there is nothing wrong with you.”

I gave Lila a light pat on the back to help her calm down.

“Huh… ….”

And finally, Lila, who burst into tears, sat down on the floor and wept.

Yes. Cry.

If your heart cries and your heart feels relieved, you better cry coolly.

I hugged her without saying a word so she could cry in peace.

And Layla, who had been shedding tears for a while, got up from her seat with a small sob as if her heart had calmed down a bit.

“Did everyone cry?”

“…… Huh.”

Lila, who wiped away tears with her sleeve at my question, nodded her head.

Her voice cracked a little from her crying, but it was louder than before.

And the trembling body also seemed to have calmed down, so it didn’t tremble anymore.

Seeing Lila improved a bit, we moved her feet back to her restaurant.

I turned on the light in the dim dining room and seated Laila at a suitable table.

“Wait a minute.”

And the moment I moved to her kitchen for Layla, who hadn’t eaten for days, Layla stopped me.

“Where are you going?”

“To make your food.”

“Older brother… …. Food?”

When I told her I was going to the kitchen to cook, Lila looked at me with a small surprised face.

Okay. I’ve never been to this world and made food before.

In my previous life, I had the experience of making my own food to save on food expenses.

I nodded and answered briefly.

“Yes.”

“I-I want to go too.”

I got up from my seat and looked at Lyla, who was moving towards me.

Is my food so unreliable?

Well, there is no reason to say no if you want to see it.

Besides, I don’t think it’s very nice to be alone in this large restaurant.

“What. Do as you please.”

Lila nodded, and I left the dining room and moved to the kitchen.

When I turned on the lights in the kitchen where the lights were off, the well-organized food materials and cooking utensils caught my eye.

It seemed that Luna had tidied up the kitchen before going to sleep.

I took a look around the kitchen, roughly identified the location of the ingredients and tools, and started cooking right away.

Fire-!

A fire made of magic, not gas, starts heating up the fan.

After confirming that the pan was somewhat heated, I started to fry the onions and potatoes with oil similar to butter.

Lila admires the vegetables naturally stir-fried.

“Did you know how to cook, brother?”

“Did you understand now?”

“Yes. I just found out about it today.”

Of course I don’t know.

Because I’ve never come to this store to cook.

That said, Rail didn’t seem like a person who would make food.

When the vegetables were properly cooked, I put the prepared corn in the pan and seasoned it properly.

“Wow… ….”

It’s not a big deal, but Layla starts to react from the side.

Anyway, it seems really strange that I know how to cook.

That’s how the ingredients started to cook, and I put milk on top of it and ground all the ingredients using a cooking utensil with vibration magic.

And when the finely ground ingredients were put back on the pan and started to cook again, the scent of the savory soup began to fill the kitchen.

Lila was looking at her soup with her concentrated eyes.

I nodded as I saw the perfectly cooked soup, turned off the heat, brought a plate, and poured the soup over it.

“Now try it.”

“Oh,”

I wanted to feed them meat, but I made soup because I couldn’t digest the meat if it was empty for several days.

Lila blankly looks at herself, the soup in front of her, and me.

I was a little uncomfortable with that look, so I opened her mouth while looking at Lila.

“Why. Shall I feed you?”

“Oh, no. I will eat it myself.”

Then Lila regained her senses and took her spoon and put her soup into her mouth.

“Wow… …. It is delicious. Brother.”

“Is that so? I’m glad.”

Luckily, Lila continued to eat the soup, as if the food she had made once in her own room fit in her mouth.

I looked at Layla as she slowly but deliciously ate the soup.

Fortunately, unlike when she was in her room, Layla’s eyes were a little brighter.

“Listen while eating.”

And I looked at Layla as she was eating the soup.

“I am now the head of the Violand family. But I’m still lacking and there’s a lot I don’t know. Rather, you who are smarter than me might be a better fit for the family head.”

“Oh, brother. That… ….”

“But.”

I cut Layla off.

It has only been a year since I came to this world.

It is said that it knows a little about what will happen in the future, but it is completely ignorant of the politics and laws of this world.

But in her original story, Layla, who single-handedly revived her family, had that ability.

“If you stand beside me and help me, I will be able to become a person worthy of a family head. It’s not about forgetting your father’s death. But that doesn’t mean you should stay depressed.”

I was talking to Lila, but I was actually talking to myself.

“So… ….”

I can feel my throat choke at the moment.

It was the water prepared for Lila, who shed tears, but in order to continue her words, I raised the glass next to her and quenched her throat.

Then he looked at Lila and said her last words.

“Don’t berate yourself anymore.”

“… ….”

Leila didn’t say anything to me.

I just ate the soup I made in silence.

Dude. Pop.

Tears began to fall over Layla’s soup.

She looked at her anxiously at her sudden tearful look at her Lila.

But when Lila and her eyes met, I no longer worried.

Lyla was still shedding tears like chicken droppings, but her eyes, which had been dead, were alive.
