Chapter 154 – Bear-san And The Cake Taste-Test, Part 2
Terumi-san and Shuri had just arrived, passing by Elena-san on her way out.
「Elena-san went back to the inn to ask for permission to work here.」
「Elena-chan will start working here?」
「She said she wanted to, but since her family runs an inn, I decided to make her get her parents’ approval.」
「I see. Well, leaving that aside for now, what was the thing you made me eat yesterday? It was really delicious…」
「A cake.」
「But, it’s different from pancakes, right?」
「Well, it’s like a distant relative.」
「A distant relative, you say… So, does this mean that I will have to stock up on the ingredients and decide on the selling price again?」
「Yep, I’m counting on you.」
I knew Terumi-san would figure it out by herself.
Well, I had asked her to do it for me numerous times, so it made sense…
「I can’t refuse when you make me eat something so delicious, after all.」
「Sis Yuna?」
Shuri said while tugging on my Bear Suit.
「What is it?」
「I want to eat it.」
「Okay, no problem. Please eat it too, Terumi-san. I have many different flavours, so please tell me which ones are your favourites.」
I cut two more portions and gave them to Terumi-san and Shuri.
「Oh right, Yuna-chan, why did Fina bring us only two portions? Gentz was really sad, you know?」
「…Gentz-san?」
Oh, I had forgotten about him.
When I thought about cake, I never considered men might like it too.
「Well, it’s really sweet, so I thought that Gentz might not like it…」
「Really? I gave him half of mine, and he seemed to enjoy it very much, you know.」
An old man eating cake…
No, it wasn’t good to judge people by their appearance.
Also, I had seen old men eating cake before…
I had trouble with being judged by my appearance as well, so old men were free to eat and wear whatever they wanted.
「I will prepare his share, so please take it to him. Also, could you ask him which one he liked the most?」
「I will make sure to ask him.」
Hmm, maybe I should make a cake with less sugar that would suit the tastes of men.
I would need more of them to taste it, then.
Cliff, the guild master of the Adventurer’s Guild, Gill, and Gold-san. Would those four do? Ah, right, I forgot Blitz again.
Meh, I would think more about this later.
「Yum, it’s as delicious as yesterday. I can’t stop eating it.」
「It’s yummy, Sis Yuna.」
Terumi-san and Shuri both liked the cake as well, it seemed; they ate it with smiles on their faces.
Still, the speed at which Terumi-san moved her fork was beyond quick.
「You will get fat if you eat too much of it, you know.」
The moment I said that… a crack appeared in the world. I could almost hear it.
I looked up and saw the women, their hands now still and their faces grimacing as if they had just seen hell.
On the other side, the children were still stuffing their faces with angelic smiles on their faces.
I had created a perfect rift.
「Yuna-chan… The cake can make us fat?」
Mylene-san asked carefully.
「Yep, your stomach will become all cute and chubby.」
「You’re joking, right?」
She asked now trying to smile.
「You think I’m joking?」
「…」
Mylene-san gulped.
「I’m not joking, but it’s fine as long as you don’t eat too much.」
「I knew it!」
Mylene-san said and reached for another bite.
「Still, I think that six slices are quite a lot, you know.」
「Yuna-chan!」
Mylene-san cried out.
Yep, six slices were just too much.
「Yuna-san, are three slices okay?」
「Well, three should be fine if you don’t eat it every day.」
Karin-san seemed relieved.
「Shuri, ahhh…」
Terumi-san was trying to make Shuri eat her share too now.
「But Terumi-san, you haven’t eaten yet, right? I still want to hear which one you like the most.」
「I don’t want to become fat.」
「You won’t get fat so easily, you know.」
「Yuna-chan. It’s fine when you’re young, but when you become older, you can’t be that careless.」
She said with a soft voice and a serious face.
