"Oh, whipped cream?"

"It’s called whipped cream? It was very delicious."

"Well, it’s still in the trial stage, so it needs some more fine tuning. Also, if you mix different things with whipped cream, you can get all sorts of flavors."

Making a blueberry or a strawberry mousse might be a good idea in the future.

What I really wanted to make was a chocolate mousse, though. Even if I was able to get my hands on cacao, I wouldn’t be able to make chocolate. Maybe they sold chocolate in some other regions?

If I managed to procure it, the amount of sweets I could make would increase significantly. I really missed the days in Japan when I had played games while eating chocolate and drinking juice.

"So, how did you like the cake? Was it too sweet for you?"

"No, not at all. It was very delicious."

"There’s still some left; would you like some more?"

They had already finished the one I had brought out on the table, but I had another one in my Bear Box.

"I wouldn’t mind another slice if it really isn’t a problem, but I came here for another reason."

Zelef-san sounded a bit awkward.

"Why did you come, then?"

"I was wondering if it’s possible for you to teach me how to make it. I won’t reveal the recipe to anybody else, of course. As a chef, I want to know more about this mysterious texture and flavor. I do realize it must have took you a lot of time to create such an amazing recipe. It’s embarrassing for me to ask you to reveal it, and I understand if you don’t want to share it, but…"

Well, it had taken a bit of an effort to reinvent the recipe since I hadn’t known the ingredient ratios to make the right mixture.

"Zelef, I believe you promised not to ask Yuna about her cooking methods again."

"Yes, but as a chef, I just have to know it. I couldn’t even imagine the concept behind something like that myself, and that makes my soul ache…"

"Yuna already showed you how to make things like pudding and pizza, didn’t she?"

"She did, and I apologize, but…"

Zelef-san’s voice trailed off, and he lowered his head as the king scolded him.

Just like the king had said, I had already given Zelef-san quite a few recipes. He had been keeping them to himself without leaking them, so it should be fine to show him how to make cake as well.

"I don’t mind showing you how to make it."

"Really?!"

Zelef-san was overjoyed when he heard my reply.

"Yeah, it’s fine. It has a lot of sugar, though, so try not to make it too often. It’s okay if it’s just for Eleanora-san, but I don’t want to see Princess Flora getting fat because of my recipes."

"Yuna-chan…"

Eleanora-san started to glare at me, but I just ignored her.

"Of course. It is my job to keep the royal family healthy. Even if Princess Flora tells me she wants to eat more, I promise I won’t make it for her."

"I won’t tell you that!"

Princess Flora said, looking rather displeased.

How cute.
