Lore – Foie Gras




I. Jailhouse

A four-walled room with only one window from which to look upon the landscape. Despite the azure skies and starry nights, the scene was imperfect. It was broken up into pieces by thin, long shadows. Iron bars installed on the windows.

When I walked, the sound of chains being dragged along the floor would echo around the quiet room.

Living day after day without a purpose, I'm not even aware of the passage of time in this cold room. Whenever I was bored, I would think back to the reason for my imprisonment.

"How utterly stupid."

Every time I thought about it, contempt for myself welled up inside of me.

It was a period in my life which I have mixed feelings about.

When I was first summoned into this world, the person who stood before me was a chef working in a castle. He seemed particularly surprised to see me and kept muttering "How is this possible... Do I really have this potential..." It grated on my nerves.

I wasn't sure why, but from the moment I knew he was a chef, a strange feeling of aversion towards him began building in my heart.

So, I had the utmost negative impression of him from our very first meeting.

Technically, I should be addressing him as "Sir Master Attendant" but I didn't want to.

He did not care how others called him either. People around him were always calling him "Chefie".

I just called him 'Hey'.
