I stayed silent to avoid answering his question. Luke frowned as he didn't force me to take a bite. I knew he was wondering what happened to the food, but I hoped I would be able to convince him to use the IV machine to get my nutrients instead.
"What food would you like to eat?" He asked.
This was unexpected. Luke never asked for my opinions regarding what I wanted to eat before. My mind bubbled up of thoughts like pizza and chicken wings. Ever since my reincarnation, I never got my hands on pure comfort food that was unpackaged.
"A box of pizza, fries and chicken wings with a bottle of carbonated sweet tea," I said the first things that popped up.
Luke searched up the unfamiliar food in his tablet. He deliberated on whether to get the food when he saw how greasy they were. The pictures shined as if they were dripping with oil like they were going to do more harm than good.
"If you finish the bowl of porridge, then I'll order either a slice of pizza, one chicken wing or a small cup of fries."
Of course he wouldn't order everything I wanted. But this was a big improvement from not allowing me to eat anything he didn't approve of. I picked up the spoon and chugged the food into my mouth. I forced myself to swallow before I had second thoughts as tears welled up my eyes.
Unexpectedly, the porridge tasted like the most delicious meal in the world. I quickly scooped more onto my spoon and a few minutes later, the bowl was empty. My stomach didn't feel like vomiting like I thought it would. I wondered why I had put off eating for so long.
"There's medicine inside the porridge. Since you haven't been eating, you weren't recovering as fast as you should have," Luke answered.
"When am I going to go back to school?"
I remembered that the doctor had mentioned I would be able to go back to school a few days from today. Although it was nice catching up on sleep, I was getting bored of doing nothing for the last few days. Plus, I was starting to miss meeting Shelly, Ellen and Sienna in person. I was definitely going to contact them today since I had the energy.
"Maybe a month later?" Luke calculated inside his head.
"Didn't the doctor say only a week?" I asked.
"That was if you ate the medicine," Luke emphasized.
"Is the school ok with this?" I wondered.
There was no way the school would allow a student to miss going to class for this long. They covered so much material in one day that missing it would make a huge difference. Rather than facing the problem of me missing school, Luke seemed to contemplate on something else.
"This room is actually a space-time room," He revealed after a moment of silence.
I wondered if Luke would have revealed this information to me if I never asked. But it did make sense why he never let me out of the room. What day was it now? Since the flow of time was different, I didn't know how much time had passed.
"I went to school yesterday to handle the assignment, others should still be in the fourth district," Luke answered my questioning gaze.
I sighed in relief. It seemed like one day was equivalent to one week in this room. This meant one more month would be a total of four days outside the room.
"Can't I momentarily leave this room to get my supply of light novels?" I thought out loud.
"I already brought you other books," Luke sighed.
"There's no one here except for us and your family servants so it won't affect your family name. So can't you at least let me enjoy my time here?" I tried to negotiate.
"I'm willing to exchange my slice of pizza for this," I gave up my precious comfort food.
"Did you at least look through the books inside this room?"
I did look at the title of the books written on the spines or briefly at the covers. I couldn't help but wake up to the scenery of a mini library in front of me. I proudly nodded my head.
"Then can you tell me the content inside this book?" Luke took out a random book on the shelf.
"It's about intermediate magical spells," I read the title.
"Maybe if you read at least one book, I'll think about bringing your comic books."
Each book was thick to the point it had to be at least five hundred pages. I didn't want to use absorb for such a trivial task since I needed to save it to gain more points. I clenched my fists, wondering why I even needed permission on what books to read.
"That's it, I'm out of this room," I stomped towards the exit.
Since Luke was inside the room, I expected the door to open. However, it was locked as usual. The next option was teleportation. I visualized going to my parent's house in the third district while gathering a mass amount of mana. But instead of finding myself in front of their door, I was still stuck inside this room. It was like the room intentionally blocked using teleportation itself.
"What's with this room?" I turned to Luke.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
