The two girls nodded uncertainly, so he mixed raspberry syrup into the water and handed it to them.
"…"
"…"
"You must be tired from walking so much. Let's take a little break."
He told them to drink, but they simply froze in silence.
They were probably not used to being treated this way.
Realizing that they would simply have to get used to it, he gave up and took a sip of the tea Roland had brought with Ars.
"...Ah, it's delicious."
"...It's sweet."
The two quietly muttered that it was good, and Qiong Xing smiled softly.
"Roland."
"Yes!"
"Do you want this?"
Qiong Xing narrowed his eyes at Roland, who had been staring intently at the syrup bottle for some time, and handed it over.
The moment he received it, Roland's eyes lit up.
"This is syrup made by simmering fruit until it becomes sweet. It's delicious spread on bread, and also tasty when mixed with water."
"What! I've never even thought of boiling fruit down like this! May I have a little?"
