Sylvia's POV
It's another day at the DRAGONs world as I woke up. So did Vivian.
To think I slept next to her last night, and I liked it.
"Good morning, Vivian," I greeted her with a smile on my face.
"Good morning, too, Sylvia," she greeted me with a smile on her face as well.
"Good morning, girls," Lamia approached us. "Did you sleep well, Mii?"
"Yes, Mom-san," Vivian replied. Mom-san, really? Well, that's new. "Although I'm still tired..."
"How about you, Sylvia?"
"Yes, I slept well, Vivian's Mother," I replied.
"Please, just call me Lamia," the adult DRAGON said.
"Oh, okay..."
"Now that you two are up, let's have breakfast."
Breakfast...
The most important meal of the day.
I sat next to Vivian and her mother and looked at the table. The cuisine in this place looks...
"What's wrong, Sylvia?" Vivian asked me.
"It's just that... I never tried something new like this dish in front of the table," I replied.
"Well, try it now," her mother said with optimism.
I try one of the cuisines in my mouth. As I chew and swallow it, it felt...
"Delicious..." was all I could say.
"I'm glad you liked it," Vivian said as she took another bite.
The cuisine in this place looks delicious. I enjoyed eating with Vivian, and this is one moment I will never forget while living in this world.
"More, please," Vivian wanted more. Just how much can she eat?
"Dear, be sure to chew properly," her mother agreed. It's a good thing I chew properly when I eat my meal.
"Okay, Mom-san."
Then, I saw Angelise, Tusk, Salamandinay and her bodyguards have arrived. When I looked at Tusk, I saw his cheeks looked like they got scratched. Wonder what my sister did to him this time?
"Sylvia, Vivian..." Sister called us.
"Morning-san!" Vivian greeted her a good morning. Morning-san? Really? Does she have to put '-san' in a word like morning?
"Good morning, Sister," I greeted my sister.
"Good morning, Sylvia," she greeted back.
"Princess Salamandinay," Lamia greeted the princess.
"Did you sleep well last night?" the princess asked.
"I ended up staying up all night talking to Mii," was the reply.
"I'm so tired!" Vivian rubs her face with her hands.
"Good thing I have my earplugs so I won't hear their chatter while I fell asleep," I commented after I took a glass of water.
"That's good to know," Salamandinay commented as she turned to Angelise. "Now, sit down. Let us have breakfast, as well."
"Huh? Okay," Sister agreed.
While Vivian is having a good conversation with her mother while having breakfast, I decided to look into Sister and Tusk to see if they agree to the new cuisine they're going to eat. Tusk took the bite, and he finds the meal delicious. As for Sister, she isn't used to it when she gives an elbow to him due to her suspicions of the food being poisoned.
How can she say that?
Before she came to the table, I tasted all the food in the table and they're safe. Then she wondered if Vivian is doing okay because she knows one oldest trick in the book: appeasing the enemy to gain information. On the top of that, she is not convinced Lamia is her real mother. Good thing Tusk said they're not strangers.
And I agree with him after getting to know the DRAGONs, much to my sister's chagrin.
"Whoa, Sister. You're like that creepy girl in horror movies who tries so hard to get her suspicions confirmed," I made a playful tease on her.
"Shut up! I'm not like that!" Sister retorted. "What's wrong with getting suspicious of a race that is new to us?!"
"Try doing what Lelouch does best, 'If you don't trust someone, just see to the matter until you're satisfied with your answer.'"
Angelise then calms down.
"Okay, Sylvia. I'll try his method," she said in agreement.
Anyway, Salamandinay told her to eat her breakfast before it gets cold. As soon as she took a bite, she looks surprised and the princess herself smirked at this as if she knows she will eventually like the cuisine in this world.
This is going to be one awkward morning.
After having breakfast, Vivian leaves with her mother, so that she can show her the house she grew up in. I can imagine of someone who was away for a long time in this world wondering what would be her home be like as of now. I turned to my sister, who is still getting suspicious.
"So?" Angelise turned to Salamandinay.
"Yes?" the princess asked.
"I've had enough of this farce. What's your goal? What do you plan to do with us?"
"They say you can't fight on an empty stomach. Have you had enough to eat?"
"Huh? Yes."
"Then let us go."
I wonder where will the princess will lead us to now.
