1-21 The Open-Wide Chain Attack

TLed by: TanoshiKara

Everyone started eating, and while everyone was licking their lips due to the food in front of them, Latiana looked towards Kikyou's dish.

"Is Maester's Curry Rice?" Latiana asked, eyes upturned as she had no choice but to do so, as she tilted her head

I see, with her only knowing Curry Rice, she would, indeed, think that that is the case.

Hahaha, or so Kikyou chuckled.

"You're close. This is called Beef Stew," He then said in a gentle voice.

"Beef Chew"

"Beef Stew"

"Be-ef S-tew"

Still a little awkward, but she has mostly gotten the pronunciation down. Being able to do this is as expected of Latiana, or so Kikyou thought as he nodded.

"Correct. Want to try some?"

"Uh-huh!" Latiana nodded with a beaming smile.

Kikyou wiped her mouth first, as it had ketchup from the Rice Omelette. Then, with her mouth clean, he scooped some beef stew using his spoon and brought it in front of Latiana.

"Okay, open wide," Kikyou said as he opened his.

"Ahhhhhh," Latiana said, opening her mouth wide as if she were trying to mimic Kikyou.

While being careful not to dirty her lips, Kikyou put the spoon with the beef stew into her mouth. Latiana closed her mouth. And—

"......Mm! Delicious!"

After chewing, Latiana's eyes were sparkling as they popped open, and her body swayed from left to right, as if to express how delicious it was.

......Seems like she loved it.

Kikyou broke into a satisfied smile when he saw Latiana overjoyed.

After that, he turned back, and continued eating when—

"Lew wants to try some......too"

This, Kikyou heard diagonally to his right.

When he looked, Lew was there, expression unchanged, but an air of jealousy oozing out of her

......Ah, she has never eaten beef stew before after all, or so Kikyou convinced himself before he tried to pass his plate to her—however, Lew opened her mouth wide before he could do so.

"......Ahhhhhn"

Probably wants me to feed her.

Lew is still young, so I guess there's no helping it, or so Kikyou thought as he decided to feed her.

"Here, open wide," Kikyou said as he scooped some beef stew using his spoon and brought it in front of Lew.

Lew bit into the beef stew and chewed it.

"......Delicious," She said, her eyes droopy as usual, and her expression unchanged. 

However, it seemed to have been very delicious as her cheeks were a little red due to her delight.

......I'm glad that she seems to love it, or so Kikyou thought as he grinned.

"When Kikyou......feeds me......it tastes......all the more delicious," Lew said with a gentle smile as she looked at him.

Kikyou blushed slightly when he heard her straightforward words.

And so—the girls stared at this scene unfold, seemingly jealous.

However, the thickheaded Kikyou did not notice these suggestive stares, so he looked back at his beef stew, wanting to continue his meal when—

"Kikyou"

This, he heard, once again coming from someone sitting across from him.

"Hm?"

What is it?, or so Kikyou asked as he lifted his head and looked at Saki, the girl in front of him.

He then saw Saki fidgeting as she pressed her index fingers against each other. However, that only lasted for several seconds.

Seemingly making up her mind soon after, she tightened her lips and nodded, before—

"A......Ahhhhhn," She said as she embarrassingly and reservedly opened her mouth.

"............Eh?"

This sudden action of Saki’s caused Kikyou to gasp reflexively with a blank expression on his face.

Saki's face turned scarlet, her mouth still open.

"Hey......This is embarrassing, so please hurry up!"

"Well, you could stop if it's embarrassing —"

"—My dream"

"............Hm?"

"......After I saw it in a Manga, it has been my dream for someone to do the 'Open Wide' to me!"

A shocking truth. To think that the male-hater, and usually refined Saki, had such a cute dream, or so Kikyou thought, shocked.

"That's why......Please, Kikyou......" Saki said meekly.

"W-Well, I'm fine with doing that"

Kikyou agreed, as there was nothing to lose.

Saki's face brightened.

"Then......A-Ahhhhhn," She then said as she closed her eyes and timidly opened her mouth.

Flushed cheeks. It seems like, even if it is her dream, what she is embarrassed of, she is.

After glancing at her, Kikyou scooped some beef stew. He then brought it to Saki's mouth, but......he was, for some reason, more nervous than he was earlier, causing him to gulp reflexively. However, as he was in a situation where he could no longer back out, Kikyou timidly brought the spoon to Saki's mouth. He then put the spoon into Saki's mouth, and she closed her mouth alluringly.

"............Mm"

Seeing that she had closed her mouth, Kikyou pulled out his spoon.

Kikyou's heart raced as he looked towards Saki. He then saw Saki chewing before she licked her lips using the tip of her tongue.

".......It is d-delicious"

"I-I see.......That is good to hear"

Saki and Kikyou blushed as they averted their gazes. There was a somewhat embarrassing and weird atmosphere around them. 

A girl was looking at them jealously—Shea.

This flow of events is one where I ask for the 'Open Wide'……!, or so Shea thought suddenly while she was staring at Kikyou and Saki as they were giving off a bittersweet air.

So—

"Master," Shea called out expectantly to Kikyou as her wolf ears twitched. ......By the way, her wolf ears and tail could only be seen by Kikyou and the others.

Kikyou looked towards Shea.

Noticing that Kikyou's attention had been drawn to her—

"Ahhhhhn......" Shea said proudly and excitedly as she opened her mouth.

Kikyou stared at her......

"Umm......I think I'll refrain from doing that," Kikyou said, blushing as he averted his eyes.

An unexpected rejection.

"Why's that!?" Shea exclaimed hysterically after she heard that.

"It's gotten a little embarrassing," Kikyou replied as he scratched his cheek.

"No, no, weren't you alright when you were doing it to Lew!"

"It's because Lew is young"

"I-I'm young too!" Shea reflexively exclaimed.

"That's obviously too much of a stretch!" Kikyou reflexively retorted.

"......Uu"

Shea's wolf ears and tail lost their energy and went limp.

Seeing her like that was all too sad......

Kikyou sighed before suppressing his feelings of embarrassment somehow. And—

"Uhhhh......yeah, sorry. It is indeed unfair, huh. ......I understand, I'll do it. So don't make such a sad face, Shea......You too, Lumia"

The faces of the two, who have yet to experience it, brightened in the blink of an eye.

Geez, I guess they'd be happy that they'll have the 'Open Wide' done to them, or so Kikyou thought, deciding to do it without paying it too much mind because their smiles made him overjoyed.

"Well then, first up......Shea," Kikyou said as he turned to Shea.

In response, Shea—

"......O-Okay! A-Ahhhh......hn," Shea said, twitching when her name was called before she closed her eyes and opened her mouth.

I think, once again, that she sure is such a beautiful girl, that it is unthinkable that she is from Earth, huh......, or so Kikyou thought all of a sudden as he was scooping some beef stew.

She might have come from the other side—-her white and lustrous skin, her well-rounded features that even dolls pale in comparison, and, above all else, her glossy, white hair that made her feel like one of celestial lineage, which might cause such a hallucination.

A kind of beauty so fantastical that it was not possible for it to exist in this country known as Japan—

He was, of course, usually aware of her beauty, but he never really had the opportunity to stare at her up close.

His heart could not help but race when he stared and imagined that she was about to do the 'Open Wide' to her.

However, as with Saki, Kikyou fed the beef stew to Shea as he had no other choice.

"......Nmu......Hehe......It's delicious," Shea said bashfully as she blushed slightly.

As expected, it was embarrassing for the two of them.

However, it did not end there. There was a beauty waiting eagerly like a chick; That person was, of course, Lumia.

"Next up is......Lumia," Kikyou said with a gentle expression on his face as he turned to her.

"Y-Yes! Kikyou-sama......"

Hearing that, Lumia clasped her hands in front of her chest and gazed at Kikyou with dreamy eyes. She then closed her kind eyes a few seconds later, and opened her cute mouth reservedly.

This made it look like she was waiting for a kiss and......Kikyou's heart raced for the umpteenth time today.

However, as he could not back down for the umpteenth time, Kikyou steeled himself and put his spoon into her mouth.

After elegantly chewing, Lumia—

"......Haaa......It is delicious......" Lumia said with a dazed expression on her face as she let out an amazed sigh.

Kikyou nodded in satisfaction after he saw this.

"......Well then, it's about time I—" Kikyou said as he tried to look towards his beef stew......

"Does Maester want to dooo the 'Open Wide' too?" Latiana said, however, even before Kikyou could do that.

She then stared innocently at Kikyou.

She probably felt bad that they were the only ones on the receiving end. It was very much like her, who was kindhearted despite her age, to give such a suggestion.

However, Kikyou wanted to get back to eating his beef stew, and the glares from the people around him were also getting more intense, perhaps out of jealousy.

So he tried to turn her down when the other girls nodded as if to agree with Latiana.

"It is true, I would feel bad if we were the only ones on the receiving end"

"......Eh"

"That's true, I'd feel bad"

"......Well"

"Giving back after you have received something......a natural thing to do"

"......Uhhhh"

"......Lew too......feels I should do it"

"......Umm, errrm"

All of them shifted their gazes to Kikyou. And—

"Kikyou"

"Master"

"Kikyou-sama"

"Maester"

"......Yes, please do"

—Kikyou opened his mouth wide many times after that.

--

—A few days earlier, at the Minamori Mansion.

"......Wha-!?"

"......E-Eh......they would even do such a thing!?"

"O-Open Wide......If Kikyou would do such a thing to me......!"

Saki pressed her face against her pillow and kicked her legs in excitement.

After their return, Saki, having discovered love, got hooked on romance manga.
