An Exchange One Morning
The day after Rio and Aria began their pursuit of Saint Erica, the two used the stone house for shelter. It was morning, and Aria had woken up early to prepare breakfast. But when she stepped out of the room she was borrowing, she was greeted with the scent of something delicious wafting from the kitchen.
“Good morning, Aria.” Rio had woken up earlier than her and prepared breakfast.
“Good morning, Sir Amakawa... You’re up rather early.” Aria blinked in surprise. She was hoping to lessen his workload by making breakfast herself, but he had done so first.
“I always get up early to practice with my sword.”
“That’s a wonderful routine.”
“You’re up early as well.”
“I always have work to do in the morning, so it’s a habit for me.”
“I see. I’m almost done preparing breakfast, so please have a seat,” Rio said, resuming his preparations with the ingredients.
“If you don’t mind, I’d like to help out. In fact, I’m willing to prepare all the meals for us while we’re on this trip...”
“You’re the guest in this house, so there’s no need for you to do so.”
“You’re providing the shelter, so it’s only right for me to repay you by doing work,” Aria insisted.
Rio chuckled “Fine... In that case, let’s cook together. I’d feel bad if I just sat back and let you do all the work,” he suggested.
“I understand. I’ll be borrowing an apron, then.”
Aria entered the kitchen and put on one of the aprons hanging there. Thus, Rio and Aria made breakfast together.
