Eijiro PoV
I patted my stomach, a loud burp slipping out before I could stop it. My cheeks burned as the Kuroichi delegation turned to stare, Raiki's purple eyes were wide with amusement, while Lady Amaya raised an eyebrow, her fan pausing mid-wave.
"S-sorry," I stammered, scratching my white bangs, my face hotter than the desert outside the oasis.
Father patted my back. "It's a natural reaction, son. No need to be embarrassed." He chuckled, his golden eyes glinting with mirth. "Just shows that you enjoyed the feast."
I smiled slightly.
Sis giggled as she yanked on the sleeve of my shirt. "Me wanna make funny sound too!"
"Uh, I don't think you should. It's not proper for a noble to be burping."
She frowned. "It is? But I thought it was funny!"
"Yeah, but that's because it was unexpected. Plus, I didn't do it on purpose."
She hummed. "Surprise means funny! What if I do it when no one expects it? Like a sneaky burp!"
