Arlott and Derek had been conversing for ten minutes, but it was time.
Kiera and Cassandra finished preparing dishes and put them on two big plates before leaving the kitchen.
Derek was sitting at the table facing east, so he would be the first to see if they exited from the kitchen and walked towards the dining hall.
Arlott at north while facing south at the rectangle dining table, so Derek was roughly two meters to his right.
"Yep, I als-"
Derek's words suddenly stuck to his throat when he turned to look ahead to see Kiera and Cassandra as he sensed them emerging from the kitchen.
However, both of them only had aprons covering their figure!
"Y-You…" Derek was about to stand up in shock, but then a powerful soul pressure caused him to suffocate, almost causing him to blur his vision before he regained focus.
However, he couldn't move a muscle afterward.
"You can speak, Dad," Arlott widely smiled. "But you can't move."
