Aias: from a world of kaijus to a world of fantasy and magic

Chapter 61

Clare's perspective

After seeing her lady walk away with a bit of worry in her eyes, Alex approached Clare with a smile.

"Hi, I haven't properly introduced myself. I'm Alex, Ms. Clare."

Seeing Alex introduce himself with a smile that didn't look strained when her lady was around, she bowed and replied.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Alex, but please call me Clare; you are my lady's friend after all."

"Oh, okay. But you can call me Alex too."

"If that is what you desire."

Upon hearing Clare's formal and professional tone, Alex didn't really know how to respond back since he had never met someone like Clare who gave off a presence like they were from two different worlds, so he turned to the basket and asked what was in it, awkwardly trying to change the conversation.

"Sandwiches, I made them earlier this morning for everyone. I don't believe you have eaten anything yet; please have some."

Upon hearing Clare made food for everyone, Alex's stomach grumbles since he hasn't eaten breakfast yet.

Alex blushed and scratched his head a bit from embarrassment, but Clare did show a reaction and offered Alex one with a smile, which he happily accepted.

Clare walked to the chairs by the window and put the basket on one of the side tables to open the picnic basket. She reached inside to retrieve one of the sandwiches wrapped in paper and gave it to Alex.

After giving it to Alex, Clare then asks everyone.

"Would anyone desire one, Lady Alice, Ms. Maria, Sir Garner, Sir Rollo, or Sir Arnald?"

Alice, Garner, Rollo, and Arnold happily accepted, while Maria shyly accepted as well.

Clare handed over the sandwiches to everyone as Alex sat on the chair he was sitting on and unwrapped the sandwich.

He was deeply surprised to see the sandwich in his hand because it looked really good and tasty. It was a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich, which looked simple at first, but upon looking at it closely, the bacon was glazed with honey, the egg and cheese were made into an omelet with herbs, and the bread was a soft white bread that was lightly toasted with butter.

Alex took a bite and was immediately blown away by the soft, lightly toasted white bread; the salty, sweet, savory, and crispy bacon; and the herby and cheesy egg omelet.

Taking another bite, Alex could say that this was the best thing he had ever tasted. He began devouring it until there was nothing left.

Watching Alex devour the sandwich with much enthusiasm after the first bite, they unwrapped their sandwich, took a bite, and were also amazed by it.

"It's really good."

Alice complimented Clare's cooking, deeply impressed by how good it tasted, while her knights also had the same expressions.

Maria, on the other hand, no longer looks shyly at Clare as the sandwich manages to win her over.

Everyone complimented Clare's sandwich and thanked her as she responded humbly to it.

When Alex finished eating his sandwich, he didn't realize he had eaten it all and was momentarily confused about why the sandwich he was holding had disappeared.

After a second of thought, Alex looked disappointed, realizing that he had suddenly eaten it all.

Seeing Alex's sudden change in expression, Clare reached into her basket again and offered Alex another sandwich.
