“Either way, make sure you rest up properly in the coming days! You can leave handling anything else to us!” added Nori.
Upon hearing that, Gerald understood that he didn’t really have any other choice but to obey. With that, he lay back down to recuperate…
Early in the morning a few days later, Juno—Meilani’s elder sister—could be seen knocking on Gerald’s door before asking, “Gerald? Are you awake…?”
After waiting for quite a while and getting no response, Juno couldn’t help but raise a slight brow as she opened the door… only to find that he wasn’t even inside!
‘Where could he have gone? He couldn’t have just left, could he?’ Juno thought to herself in bewilderment.
Frowning slightly, she had an idea of where else Gerald could possibly be… With that in mind, she quickly headed to the back garden to see if he was there.
Just as she had thought, Juno was instantly greeted by the sight of Gerald and Leit Query meditating on stone benches upon arriving at the back garden. With their eyes closed, both of them appeared rather content…
Rolling her eyes, Juno couldn’t help but sigh. No wonder his room was empty! The two had woken up early in the morning to train themselves!
After a slight pause, Juno then walked over to Gerald’s side before whispering, “Gerald…!”
Hearing his name, Gerald then opened his eyes before smiling as he replied, “Ah, Young Lady Zorn! You’re up early! Are you here to train as well?”
Momentarily disregarding Gerald’s question, Juno took a peek at Leit who was sitting beside him…
Seeing that he had barely moved and there were little to no changes in his expressions, Juno could only sigh. She was well aware that Leit wasn’t someone to be trifled with, and she was honestly slightly afraid that he would be angered since she had come looking for Gerald…
Regardless, when he sensed Juno’s gaze on him, Leit opened an eye before getting up and leaping straight out of the back garden…
Upon seeing that, Gerald was slightly pleased by Leit’s ability to read the mood. He was sure that Leit had only left since he didn’t want to disturb Gerald and Juno’s moment.
Since Juno was a regular, he naturally knew her and prioritized her order.
With that in mind, it took less than a minute for the waiter to carry three trays filled with delicious-smelling bread over to Gerald and Juno’s table.
“Go on, don’t be shy! Try some!” urged Juno as she pushed one of the loaves over to Gerald.
Not even waiting for him to reply, Juno then began stuffing bread into her mouth without caring about her image at all.
Juno’s appetite was… astounding, to say the least.
While Gerald was full from just a single tray of bread, Juno managed to finish the bread from the remaining two trays she ordered!
“…A rather voracious appetite you have there, Lady Zorn…” muttered Gerald in a slightly surprised tone as he rested his palm against his forehead…
