While Noa was carefully holding the doll, she was touring the interior of the store to see other sculptures and said one phrase.

"I want all of them."

I ignored those words, of course.

"While I am thinking about it, how are you doing recently?"

"Because I went to the capital, my studies were delayed, so my father assigned me a home tutor."

Well, it wasn’t wrong that we just played while we were in the capital city.

If you were a noble’s child, you had to study.

It was better to have intelligent nobles than idiot ones.

"But father is horrible! He won’t let me go outside at all!"

"Isn’t it because you were lazy that it became like this?"

"I think some relaxation time is needed."

"Then, I will give you a pudding, so do your best with your studies!"

For now, I guided Noa to a seat.

If I left Noa alone she would just run around, exploring the inside of the shop without end, so I made her sit down.

But even when seated, she was turning her head all around to see the interior of the shop.

"It is a little early, but do you want to eat something other than pudding too?"

"Is it okay?"

"Yes. Almost everything we serve is easy to make, so we can bring it to you relatively fast. Ah, but you can only have one pudding cup. We don’t have a lot them after all."

Noa asked for a pudding, a small pizza, and an Oren juice.

"The shop isn’t open?"

"Not yet."

I briefly explained what happened yesterday.

"That can’t be helped. After eating it the first time, I also wanted to present it to other people."

"But this number was really outside the expectations."

"You are too naive, Yuna-san. You are too naive if you think so little of this pudding. I really wish you could have seen the dining hall when the pudding was brought during the king’s birthday."

She scooped a spoonful of pudding, and presented it to me before putting it in her mouth.

"I heard a little of it from the king, like how lots of people were asking to see the chef, or something like that."

"That’s absolutely normal! When the pudding was brought in, all the people present tilted their heads at the new food they had never ever seen before. But, because the king recommended it, all of them tried it, and the hall became a really big mess."

Hmm… this was more terrifying than what I heard before, but…

"Nobody ever ate something so delicious. That’s why there was a big uproar in the hall. Nobody knew the methods of preparing it or even the ingredients used. Even the nobles, who only ate high class meals, couldn’t think of what it could be."

With just pudding, it became such an incident…

"But the king didn’t reveal the recipe or who was the one that made it. Of course, I knew it, so I was looking at them while laughing."

"Is it possible that we are in a pinch?"

"What are you talking about?"

"I was thinking that if they know we are selling it here, they will pressure us to reveal the recipe…"
