CHAPTER 89: MYLENE’S SWEET TOOTH

“Mylene-san I am back home, is my room free by any chance?”

“Oh my, Naoko-chan you arrived, what a nice surprise. I kept your room tidy and it is all ready for you.”

“Thank you Mylene-san, I’ll leave my things upstairs and have dinner later on.”

She gave me the key to my room and I went to my familiar bed. It really is good to be back home. I changed into more comfortable clothes and returned to the lobby before heading for the dining area. There were some guests there eating but overall it was peaceful.

“Here you go Naoko-chan, do you mind if I sit with you. I want to hear all about your trip to the capital.”

“Please do, I have a lot to tell you and it is nice to have some company while eating.”

I told her about everything that had happened since we left, however I made sure to make it sound less impressive, especially the part about wiping out the monster horde and fighting at the tournament. She was really interested in the whole story and several other guests, mainly adventurers from other towns that were staying at the inn, also came closer to listen in on our conversation.

There was one part of the story that caught her completely off guard and made her flustered and that was when I said the King had given me the title of a Viscountess.

“Heavens, you even became a noble?! And you had dinner with the other nobles at the castle. I am so jealous of you. You must have tried so many sweet things. I heard that the pastries made by the royal chefs are the best in the whole kingdom.”

That surprised me in return. Out of all things to be envious of, she mentioned food. I could see just how dreamy her eyes looked while thinking about food. I did not expect this trait to come out, but it really made her look cute.

“Mylene-san could it be that you have a sweet tooth?”

“Oh yes, very much, but cakes are expensive and only some bakeries hold them. You see, the sugar is not very available in this area and that is why it is so expensive. In southern kingdom of Vilikis you can buy it cheaply because there are large areas where they produce it, sadly only a small part of it gets inside Elicia and mostly it is sold in Kapitalia.”

I thought about the large amount of sugar I currently had in my inventory. Since time
doesn’t pass inside it I just stuffed whatever food I came across inside and that includes spices and among that sugar as well. I didn’t think it was so expensive, but then again, ever since I was able to earn large amounts of money through drinking maybe my sense of what is expensive is
different from the rest of the people. Thinking about the strawberries that I bought so long ago I decided to treat Mylene-san to some of my personal cooking. She did work hard all this time and even kept my room empty for me, I should reward her somehow.

“Mylene-san, can I borrow your kitchen for a while? I want to make a cake for you since you are always taking care of me. Think of it as my gratitude.”

“Really? You can do that? By all means borrow it, I’ll tell my father so he won’t bother you either. But I didn’t know you can cook as well, you must be some kind of a superwoman.”

I smiled at her remark, back on Earth I often had to cook for myself since I lived alone. Making a cake is just another form of cooking for me. Once I was finished with my meal, I moved to the kitchen and thank the chef there for letting me borrow the tools.

The cake I decided to make was strawberry shortcake. It was easy to make and it will not require too much effort on my end, but the taste is sweet and refreshing. When I took out strawberries I saw reluctance of Mylene-san and her father’s face.

“You are using this forest fruit? Is it really safe?”

“Completely safe, they are my favorite. I didn’t think I would be able to eat them once I moved here, so I was really happy to find them here as well.”

I was aware of the aversion people had towards what they called forest fruits, so to make them relax and believe me, I took a handful of them and stuffed them in my mouth. They were really sweet which made me squeal out in happiness. I baked the biscuit, beat the cream and sliced the strawberries. Once I was done, I decorated it with some more fruits and to make everything perfect, I summoned several ice elementals and asked them cool it down nicely to be able to eat it immediately.

“Here you go, this is called strawberry shortcake. As you can see it is easy to make and once you try it, I’m sure you will fall in love with the taste.”

It didn’t take her long to grab a bite and just as I suspected, she looked so happy and easily reached for another piece. She even made her father try and begged me to teach him how to make it, so she can have it whenever she wishes for it. I gladly accepted her proposal, but I felt bad for her father since she will definitely beg him all the time. Luckily the sugar and strawberries are not easily found. When I returned to my room, it was well past midnight and I fell asleep as soon as I hit the bed.

***AT THE SAME TIME AT THE CAPITAL***

“Why the hell is that room empty? I had fifty guards around the mansion keeping watch in case she wakes up, but in the end you say she slipped away. All of you are useless, go find her for me immediately.”

“Father it is no use, if she can use the same magic as Toriwa she might as well already be on the other side of the kingdom. Just give up, she will not marry into royal family.”

“Shut up! I will have her and you will be the one to marry her. That is my last word.”

The King was throwing an angry fit while the Crown Prince looked rather dejected. Nobody noticed a man dressed in all black sitting on the window and laughing to himself as he observed the two of them.

“My Nao-chan you surely know how to make things more interesting. I guess it is time I do something for you, after all I should be your older brother.”

With a gust of wind the person disappeared leaving the King and his son alone to quarrel between themselves.
