The Misfit of Demon King Academy (WN)-Chapter 11.1

Dinner was finally ready so Misha and I moved to the living room.

Luxurious dishes were lined up on the table as well as the mushroom gratin which is my favourite.

“Now then, eat up” my mother said setting down a large platter full of mushroom gratin before serving it out onto smaller plates.

Kuu, this savoury smell is unbearable. I’m ready to start drooling at any moment.

“Misha-chan as well. Please eat lots.”

“……Nn…….”

I’m not bragging but my mother’s food is delicious. I cannot remember eating any food that was this good back in the age of myths.

In a peaceful world where magic has degraded cooking seems to have evolved. This was the conclusion I had arrived at after eating my mothers cooking for the last month.

“Thanks for the food.”

I scoop the gratin up with a spoon.

“This is…….?”

What the…..!? This gratin has 3 kinds of mushrooms in it! (1)

Eryngii, Porcini and one I don’t know. It’s always only one type of mushroom!

“Mom got excited.” she said while laughing.

She saw right through me.

“Hurry up. Eat.”

Nodding I put the gratin in my mouth.

“Uuh…………!!”

Delicious……

The creamy flavour spreads through my mouth with a slight hint of salt. The rich tastes condensed tightly and fell into my stomach.

This is so good. I just want to keep going.

Aah. It was good to reincarnate. Really good.

“Fufu. Though Arnos-chan grew so big right away your face is still like a child when eating.”

My mother said such a thing while I was in a trance eating the gratin.

“By the way, mother would like to ask something………”

My mothers face becomes serious while she’s talking.

“What part of Arnos-chan do you like Misha-chan?”

*Cough**cough**cough*

I choked when I heard that.

“Ah? You okay Arnos-chan?”

“Ah……aah…..yeah”

I was careless. The surprise made the gratin go down the wrong way.

I was so absorbed in the gratin I forgot to tell my mother the truth.

To make me, the one called the demon king lose his calm. My mother’s gratin has terrible power.

What being can oppose me in this era? My mother apparently.

“So which part……….?”

Misha sits there expressionlessly deep in thought

“……….His kindness………”

The moment Misha finishes speaking my mother strongly makes a fist.

“Right, that’s right! Arnos-chan is so gentle! Arnos-chan was going to come to Deiruheido by himself but knowing I would be lonely we all came together!!”

Fumu. I see. Is this what’s called a doting parent? It’s my first time experiencing it. It’s quite embarrassing.

“………Filial piety……..”

“Right, right! Misha-chan understands. As expected of the one Arnos-chan chose.”

All right. Right here and now lets lightly correct this.

“Please listen, mother”

“Do you want some more mushroom gratin Arnos-chan?”

“What? There’s some left? Let’s have it.”

My mother came back with some more gratin and I started to devour it.

“And with that sorted. How did your love with Arnos-chan begin Misha-chan?”

“………The beginning of our love…….?”

“How did you meet? Who called out to who?”

“………I was spoken to by Arnos……”

“Arnos-chan calling out to girls. That womaniser!”

Mother is all excited and whistling *Hyuu-hyuu* now.

Good grief.

“And? What did Arnos-chan say?”

Misha looks down and starts thinking.

Did you remember my words?

“……….We’re both troubled it seems……”

“Kyaaaaaaa! Very good!! Arnos-chan if girls are told such a thing they will fall in one shot.”

How is that cool? Trying to talk to my mother at the moment seems pointless. Let’s look for another opening.

Besides, there’s still some gratin left. I have to eat it while it’s still hot.

“And? What was your answer Misha-chan?”
