On that day, Vernoux, who usually came to eat sweets at the Pameradia House, was unusually depressed.

You seem very tired.

Yeah, a little.

His reply was not one an eight-year-old boy would say. He sounded like an adult tired from their work.

(If youre that tired, then you dont need to come here.)

If this isnt an urgent matter, and his purpose is sweets, then its necessary for him to rest away his tiredness. However, when she looked at Vernoux, he looked like he was brooding over something, rather than being physically tired.

Is something troubling you?

Cordelia asked, and he nodded gravely.

Gille is

What is wrong with Gille-sama?

Hes been obsessed with milk, or rather dairy products, lately.

Its healthy, isnt it?

But theres a limit, isnt there! When we have tea time after training, its all milk. The sweets also consist of yoghurt, blanc-manger and cheese Anyway, he doesnt stray from dairy products.

At that time, Cordelia whispered in her mind, It wasnt something worrying, after all.

Vernoux sighed deeply, and Cordelia realised something.

I think that youve tried plenty of our sweets Vernoux-sama, but what about Gille-sama?

He eats it if its served.

So hes not eating those things because he wants more.

Argh, enough. He wont stop despite hating milk

Oh my, then why all of a sudden?

Probably because he wants to get taller. Because a certain someone is so tall.

Tall? A certain someone?

I dont remember how tall he was, but he didnt seem that short. She tilted her head in confusion.

Ah Perhaps, are Gille-samas parents tall?

Parents? Well, his fathers tall, but not as tall as Earl Pameradia.

I see, maybe he wants to catch up to his father. While I do think boys are charming, theres something I want to tell them if they want to get taller.

Im sorry, but just drinking milk isnt going to make you taller. A balanced diet, sleep and exercise are also important for growth. However, putting on too much muscle while youre young isnt good either.

Vernouxs eyes twinkled, and then he grinned.

Hey, that, can I say tell Gille that you said that, Dilly?

Huh? Yes. You may.

Cordelia nodded while worrying about his scheming.

But, I dont think my words have any credibility to them.

Dillys words are more effective than a doctors medical certificate right now for Gille. In fact, your words might be the most effective. I want to be free from milk too.

Youre exaggerating.

Im not. I wonder if I should also tell him that hell never catch up to you if he continues his unbalanced diet.

Huh?

Nothing. Dont you have any sweets that dont use milk?

Vernoux demanded sweets as he became energetic.

Cordelia shrugged and entertained her friend while thinking that Gill might have an ulterior motive for commencing this milk attack, to escape from Vernouxs sweets demands.
