"I made a new cake called shortcake, so I wanted all of you to try it, if you don’t mind."

"A new cake? Of course, I want to try it. Your new recipes are always good, Yuna-chan, which is also good for my shop."

We sat down in the dining area while Morin-san and Karin-san went to retrieve plates, forks, and a few drinks.

The children, Mylene-san, and Elena-san all waited for them happily.

I took time to cut the cakes into slices while Morin-san and Karin-san put them on plates.

I had many different flavors, so I made sure to divide them equally.

"There are many different flavors; I would be happy if you tried them all."

I said that, but the only thing that was different were the fruits used.

Well, even though it was just the fruits, the taste was completely different.

I proceeded to distribute the cakes to everyone at the table.

"Yuna-chan, what is this white thing?"

"That’s the main innovation of the day: whipped cream. It goes great with the fruits and the cake. Please try it."

They didn’t waste any time grabbing their forks to eat their cakes.

"What is this?! This fluffiness.."

"It’s delicious!"

"Both strawberries and cream are delicious."

Everyone found it delicious.

"Yuna-chan, will you be adding this to the menu?"

Morin-san asked while still eating her cake.

"I was planning to, but do you think it will sell?"

"It should sell based on how it tastes, but it still depends on the cost of ingredients and how much we sell it for."

"It shouldn’t be too expensive since the ingredients can be obtained easily."

"So, somewhat like pudding? You sure you’re willing to share the recipe with us again?"

"I see no point in hiding it; if I hadn’t planned on putting it on the menu, I wouldn’t have held this taste-tasting party."

If I didn’t add it to the menu, I wouldn’t be able to eat it anytime I wanted. It would be really troublesome if I had to make it myself everytime. Well, I could just make a lot of them and put them inside the Bear Box, but that would also be a pain.

"Great. Please show me how to make it later when I have some spare time, then."

Morin-san seemed to have entered her cook mode and was already doing some calculations.

"Yuna-chan, wh-what is this?"

Mylene-san said, her fork trembling in her hand, but that didn’t stop her from eating quickly.

"As I told you before, these are shortcakes. You can change their flavor just by putting different fruits inside. I love the strawberry ones the most, though."

Hmm, I should stock up on strawberries, so I could eat them whenever I wanted.

Thank you very much, Bear Box-sama.

"I was already wondering this when you made pudding, but what in the world are you, Yuna-chan?"

"You ask me what I am… I don’t know how to respond to that…"
