While Ruti and Tise were working at the storefront, I had Lit make an inventory by counting the type and number of medicine we had in the storeroom .

We did normally manage our inventory but Lit and I discussed and we decided that it was a good opportunity to properly check our inventory .

“Good work . ”

I visited the storeroom with two cups of coffee in hand .

Lit was holding a pen and paper and seemed to be struggling with counting the massive number of medicine …

“Ah―! Sheesh! I can’t remember where I counted up till!!”

She shouted in despair .

“Sorry sorry, I’ll help out later so why don’t you take a break?”

“Okay, I’m a little tired . ”

We moved to sit at the chairs in the living room .

I could hear Ruti and Tise interacting with the customers at the storefront .

“Are you sure you don’t need to watch that side?”

“There wouldn’t be any meaning in having them help out if I still had to stay there, right? Ruti is a child who would notice that . ”

“You understand her very well . ”

“Well, she’s my younger sister after all . ”

Lit and I took a sip of the coffee at the same time .

“Nn, today’s coffee is rich, there’s plenty of sugar and milk . But it’s still delicious . ”

I took a little more effort in brewing today’s coffee .

I added hot water to roughly ground coffee and filtered it through three metallic filters with small apertures .

Since the apertures of the filter were blocked by the coffee ground, the coffee was deliberately extracted over a long time .

As the flavor of the resulting coffee was very strong, I could still make a strong coffee even after adding milk and sugar to it .

“Here’s some herbal tea to cleanse your palate . ”

“So it’s a coffee to enjoy during the moment and not for the aftertaste . ”

“Yup . ”

“Thank you, it’s delicious . ”

It was a brewing style to make rich coffee meant to be drunk slowly .

The herbal tea next to it was meant to suitably reset the palate and allow one to experience the refreshing first taste once again .

We enjoyed a calming time together .

“Thank you for the treat . ”

“You’re welcome . ”

Lit placed the cup down with a satisfied look .

We stared at each other silently just for a while .

But Lit immediately stood up .

“Well then, I’ll go over to the storefront . ”

“The storefront?”

“It’s about time we let Ruti and Tise have a break too . ”

“Then I’ll go to the storefront . ”

“No . ”

Lit said with a wide smile .

“Obviously Ruti looks forward to having an enjoyable time drinking coffee together with you too . ”

Lit left the room before I could say anything .

I played with the coffee cup with my finger . It made a nice sound .

The tableware that Lit chose that even kept within the budget were excellent .

“Well then, I guess I’ll prepare drinks for the two of them . ”

I placed the cups on a wooden tray and moved to the kitchen .

“Good work, the two of you . ”

On the table were three cookies and three cups of sweet-flavored cocoa .

“Thank you . ”

“Thank you for the treat . ”

Ruti’s eyes shined after she grabbed the cup and took a sip .

Tise started with the cookie .

“These are preserved rations that adventurers eat, right?”

Tise showed a surprised expression .

“This is … amazingly delicious . ”

“I mixed in some tree nuts that I gathered in the mountain . The taste is similar to cinnamon . ”

“Cinnamon … I have never eaten that . ”

“Really? Then, I’ll make cinnamon pie for tonight . ”

Oh right .

“Also, here, cloth soaked with syrup . ”

“Eh?”

“I figured it would be a good snack for that spider . ”

I said as I took out a dish with small cut pieces of cloth on it .

The spider on Tise’s shoulder hopped off .

The spider was well-behaved as it raised a hand to greet me before starting to drink the syrup .

“Thank you very much . So you noticed . ”

“This child? Of course, since you are on such good terms with it . ”

“Ugeuge-san . ”

“Ugeuge?”

“Its name is until the ‘san’”

Tise showed a faint smile of happiness as she looked at me .

(Both Gideon-san and Ruti-san gave the same reply when they heard Ugeuge-san’s name . As expected of siblings . )

She lacked facial expressions but the girl called Tise was probably an ordinary girl on the inside just like Ruti .

“Onii-chan . ”

“Hn, what is it?”

“Can we have lunch together too?”

I pat Ruti’s head .

This girl, even though I have just been talking about dinner with Tise .

“Of course . That was the original plan after all . ”

“Okay . ”

“Not just lunch, you’ll be having dinner as well right?”

“Yup . ”

Ruti smiled softly .

“Actually, I love Onii-chan’s cooking . ”

It was an extremely natural smile . It sparkled and was a lovely smile that others could see that it originated from her heart with just a glance .

“Yeah, I know . ”

“Yep!”

“Do you have any requests?”

” … I want to drink honey milk . ”

“All right . ”

Her request was different from what I expected to hear .

But it was fine .

There was still an hour and a half before lunch .

Maybe I’ll make something delicious which goes well with honey milk .
