"Can you eat spicy food?"
Faced with a menu full of various flavored hot pots, Flossie Wright couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow to Glenn Hutchinson and ask tentatively.
"Whatever."
Glenn Hutchinson responded indifferently.
So, Flossie Wright went straight ahead and ordered the spiciest hot pot. As she spoke to the waiter, Glenn Hutchinson’s mouth twitched noticeably. Observing Flossie Wright’s smiling eyes, a hint of helpless resignation flashed across his face.
The several people who were trailing them followed them into the hot pot restaurant and, while observing their activities, also jovially ordered hot pots. Given that they were being watched inside and outside, they figured they might as well enjoy eating inside where it was warm, as long as it didn’t interfere with their work.
As the hot pot Flossie Wright had ordered was served, and she continued to read the continuous flow of messages on her phone, what caught her eye was the layers upon layers of chili and chili oil. She casually snapped a few pictures to send to Becca Reyes, who had been insisting that Flossie buy local specialties ever since she got her phone number from Rowdy Brightwill. She then switched off her phone, which would have kept buzzing otherwise, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating leisurely.
Flossie Wright had always been a generous sort. She didn’t really care what she ate when she was in the Forces as everyone was served the same meals. However, when dining out, she was far more carefree. In particular, when dining on food that required a lively atmosphere, she would casually serve others, without consideration, adding some fun by, without fail, dropping some chilies into Glenn Hutchinson’s bowl.
Glenn Hutchinson had a glass of water by his side. Before he even finished half of the food in his bowl, the water in his glass was already at the bottom.
"Is it spicy?"
Tapping the dining table with her chopsticks, Flossie Wright asked Glenn Hutchinson with an amused smile.
Glenn Hutchinson glanced at her indifferently, showing no signs of bravado, and frankly said, "Spicy."
When it came to food, Glenn Hutchinson had always been flexible with varying flavors. But when it came to a dish considered extremely spicy even to those who had a high tolerance for heat, it would have been odd if he did not find it spicy.
He didn’t mind eating hot pot in winter, but in Capital City, a place where people did not generally consume a lot of chili...
It was better not to let him see the restaurant owner during meal times.
"Oh," she said, nodding slightly. To his surprise, Flossie asked, "Do you want to change it?"
She ordered this type of hot pot merely for the fun of teasing Glenn Hutchinson. She was naturally fond of spicy food, and so it made no difference to her. But after all, food that was too spicy could upset the stomach, and she hadn’t reached the point of wanting to harm Glenn Hutchinson.
However, Glenn Hutchinson was discerning enough to understand her motives, which made him feel somewhat helpless.
Fortunately, Flossie did not go too far. She had ordered two types of hot pots in one go, and she simply had the other hot pot served next. Although the shop assistant dramatically expressed that she was being wasteful, Flossie paid no attention to this hidden disdainful undertone, acting as if the shop assistant did not exist, and continued to enjoy her hot pot undisturbed.

Feeling bored, the shop assistant saw that the stern man next to Flossie had no intention of reprimanding her, and though he felt unbalanced and envious, he couldn’t do anything about it. He could only look on at the good-looking guy being monopolized by Flossie with longing before finally leaving with a heavy heart.
"Flossie Wright?"
Just as Flossie was leisurely enjoying her two types of hot pots and helpfully serving some cooked vegetables and meat to Glenn Hutchinson, a voice filled with a little surprise interrupted her.
