...

And honestly, it was really that damn good! Jorah's anticipation for the meal was justified when I myself found the dishes to be so appetizing that my hands refused to stop, while my mouth continued to swallow every bit of the delicious food. After making sure that we found everything to our taste, Celesta joined us in eating as well. From time to time, small conversations kept on finding their way into our little group's mealtime.

"Wow~!! It's soooo~ good! Big Sis, how do you do it like this every single time? The food cooked by you has never disappointed me, even once till now! But, when I tried to copy your techniques, just like you did... I..."

I agree with Jorah's sentiments just now. From the time I stayed at her house, Celesta's home-cooked meals have had an unmatched taste. I have tried to cook with those inspirations too, but I haven't been able to measure up to her yet.

Maybe that's the outcome of all of the hard efforts poured in by Celesta over the years to stabilize her own family. She really is a lady worthy of respect and admiration.

Seeing Jorah become so despondent, Celesta patted the younger one's hair as she dotingly remarked,

"Don't worry, Jorah. Just keep on practicing like you normally do. Also, motivation to improve is immensely important. And as a tip, if you prepare the food while having positive thoughts, it has a big effect on the outcome."

Jorah stared at her elder sister with her big eyes for a while, before a big smile erupted on her face again.

"I see... Then, were you thinking of Big Sister Carene when you made these in the morning??"

"*Cough*! *Cough*!... J-Jorah..."

W-What the... what is Jorah saying now??

Celesta... thinking of me while cooking? Nope. Absolutely not true. At least, not yet.

Even if I would really like it to be that way, even I know how to separate delusions from reality.

Seeing me coughing so hard, Celesta rushed to my side and rubbed my back gently, as she hurriedly spoke,

"Don't speak while eating, Carene. Here, have some water first."

Accepting the water bottle, I quickly gulped down a few mouthfuls of it, before I spoke to Celesta again,

"T-Thanks..."

And, on the side... the little one who caused this mischief had her eyes shining brightly as she squirmed where she sat and blushingly remarked,

"Oho~~? So lovey-dovey so early in the day. Aiya..."

N-No. This isn't us being anything remotely loving. Celesta's just showering her care unto me as a friend. She... surely didn't mean anything special by doing that...

Celesta seemed to have been ticked off as well as she lightly glared at Jorah and spoke in a low tone,

"Jorah..."

Jorah's body flinched greatly upon hearing the warning from Celesta as she bowed her head slightly and sheepishly replied,

"Un, sorry. I will stay quiet and eat then."

Saying that, Jorah returned to sit on the side, as she began to silently munch over the sandwiches from within the food basket.

...

Thanks to Celesta's timely interruption of Jorah's wild claims, I was nearly able to avoid death by choking upon delicious food. Even if the food was so good to justify that... I was in no mood to pass on early, so I was greatly thankful for it. I still want to have a happy and enjoyable life. In fact, I have a lot left to live for!
