Chapter 511: Making indoor toys for children
Madam Elizabeth apologized to Miri and Lala after that, and then they played the board game.
Promising that they wouldnt run, Wappa and Sara were called to the living room and they seemed happy to play.
The Human sisters Colette and Shirona, and the Elven sisters Melanie and Malorie were also called, then the coffee table was moved away and everyone sat down on the large rug and played the board game.
Lets just turn a blind eye to the noble lady in a crawling stance playing and having fun with them. Moreover, I believe it would also be better for my mental health if I dont think about Princess Mimir also mixed in with them.
Afterwards, I was dragged into the study by Charlotte, and after having gone through the mountain of papers, it was just in time for dinner.
It seems the kids were also eating with us in the large dining room today.
Wappa and Sara were waiting eagerly for the food to come to the table, asking if it was coming yet?
At times like these, you can really tell the difference in the kids personalities. Compared to Wappa and Sara who were holding knives and forks, Colette and Shirona looked happy but were waiting patiently. Melanie and Malorie looked a little nervous, perhaps because Princess Mimir was also here. Even if that wasnt the case, Melanie and Malorie were quiet kids.
When the maids brought the food in on a cart, Wappa, Sara, Miri, and Lala cheered in delight.
After they started living in the Sanctuary, Wappa and the other kids no longer starved, were provided a house where cold wind doesnt blow in, warm beds, clean clothing, and they didnt have to worry about their next meal. Nonetheless, the food served in my mansion was exquisite, and the children couldnt help but be excited for it.
Well then, lets eat.
Itadakimaaasu!!
So goooooood!
This is so good, Oneechan.
Yeah, I want mother to try this as well.
Hearing Melanie say that she wanted Melty-san to eat this too, Malorie looked in Sophias direction, and Sophia nodded and talked to Melanie and Malorie.
We also called Melty-san over, I believe she would be coming soon. Dont worry, we also called Mappo-san and Poporo-san.
Thank you nya.
Oneechan, thanks nya.
Sophia said this to Miri and Lala, smiling as she looked at the Cat Sith sisters cheeks stained with the sauce.
Madam Elizabeth happily wiped their mouths with a napkin. I thought it was endearing, and I suppose she couldnt help but be somewhat drawn to Miri and Lala.
Afterwards, Miri and Lalas parents Mappo-san and Poporo-san, and Melanie and Malories mother Melty-san joined us, and we had a boisterous dinner with everyone.
Despite the incident where Elizabeth wouldnt let go of her embrace with Miri and Lala when they were about to go home after the meal, dinner was fun.
However, just as they were leaving, Wappa and Colette asked me one thing.
Takumi-oniichan, that board game was fun. Give that to each home.
Takumi-oniisan, if theres something kids can play in the house when we cant go outside on rainy days or windy day, we wouldnt be bored.
Ahhh, days when you cant play outside are boring, arent they?
The kids in the Sanctuary each had work to do everyday, though only a little bit. But it was important to me that the children play and study, so their work was kept to a minimum.
Thats why you could hear children playing everyday in the Sanctuary.
With the construction of the bowling alley, and soccer stadium, they had more options to play with, but bowling and soccer were more suited to be played by adults, so it wasnt just for children.
The kids play tag and hide-and-seek, but they brought up wanting games that could be played inside. It seems they had a lot of fun with the board game.
Hey, its fine isnt it? We cant always come play at your house, now can we, Oniichan?
Youve got a point. Ill make the board game and other stuff then send it over.
For real!?
Yaaay! Thanks oniichan!
Thinking about it, I remember I had just as much toys and games that I could play inside as outside when I was a kid.
I didnt notice that while I was talking to the kids about making indoor games, Madam Elizabeth had a sparkle in her eyes as she watched us.
