Chapter 46 – Bear-san Delivers Pudding
I arrived in front of the Foucherose family manor after I left the orphanage.
Cliff was whatever. I was here for the sake of treating his daughter Noire to pudding.
I told the gate soldier that I would like to et Noire.
The gate soldier knew about and told to wait a mont.
A short ti later, Noire ca running over from the front door.
「Yuna-san!」
Pomf~
Noire dove into my waist.
However, it didn’t hurt, thanks to the Bear Dress absorbing the impact.
「It’s been a while, Noire.」
「It’s fine if you call Noa, you know. So then, what did you need for? Even if you don’t have any business, I welco you from the bottom of my heart.」
「I made a dessert, so I wanted Noa to try it.」
「A dessert?! I look forward to it!」
She tugged on my hand and took to her room.
「So then, what kind of food is it?」
「It’s a dessert made from a clucker’s eggs.」
I produced a pudding from the Bear Box.
Of course, I didn’t forget the spoon.
Noa took the spoon, and took a bite of pudding.
「It’s delicious~」
「I’m glad you like it.」
「It’s the first ti I’ve eaten sothing this delicious.」
「It’s not that big a deal.」
「That’s not the case. This kind of lting, cold, smooth, and gentle-tasting flavor is a first for !」
「Well, it’s a flavor that won and children like, after all.」
「Oh, I’ve already finished eating it.」
The cup was already empty.
She stared at wistfully.
「Just one more, okay?」
「Thank you very much!」
When I handed over a new pudding, there was a knock on the door.
「Noa, I’m coming in. I heard that Yuna ca over, but...」
Noire’s father, the feudal lord Cliff, ca into the room.
「Sorry to be imposing on you.」
「It’s not a problem. So, what are the two of you up to?」
「Yuna-san made this... pu..ri..n dessert that I’m about to eat.」
「Purin?」
Noire ate a mouthful of the new pudding she received.
A child-like smile appeared on her face.
Just that alone made it worth coming here.
「Is it that delicious?」
Cliff asked , after seeing his daughter’s face.
「Yes, it’s super delicious!」
「Noa, sorry, but aren’t you going to give a bite too?」
「NO WAY!」
Noa blatantly refuses.
「Noa.」
「No way. This is sothing that I got from Yuna-san.」
「Yuna.」
Cliff looked at wistfully.
Don’t make such a face as an adult!
「Haa, I understand already. Please tell your impressions after you eat it, okay? It’s still just a prototype, so I haven’t adjusted the taste yet.」
「This is a prototype? It’s more delicious than any other dessert you know!」
「Even though I say it’s a prototype, I’m only planning on adjusting the sweetness later.」
I handed a pudding over to Cliff.
Cliff, who received the pudding, took a bite.
「What. Is. This?!」
Cliff’s face changed.
「I have never eaten such a delicious thing, even in the royal capital!」
I wonder if the level of desserts in this world is low?
There might be no helping it if eggs are hard to obtain.
Cliff’s and Noa’s spoons kept moving without pause.
「Yuna-san, thank you for the treat. It was very delicious.」
「I see. That’s good. Was there any particular place that you felt could be improved?」
「No, I don’t think there’s any particular problems with it.」
「Like, would you prefer it to be a little sweeter or a little less sweet, you know?」
「I think it would be better if it were a little less sweet. The first bite at the beginning was delicious, but the sweetness gradually beca overpowering.」
「Is that so? I thought it was very good.」
「Well, everyone will have different taste preferences, so I’m consulting everyone.」
「Are you going to open a store?」
「I don’t have that intention at the mont. It’s not just for the children looking after the birds, but if there are kids who want to cook certain cuisines or make certain foods and desserts, I was thinking of helping to create a path for their future.」
「You were thinking that far ahead?」
「If there is a store, then I won’t have to go out of my way to make sothing whenever I want to eat it.」
「Yuna is a better adult than when it cos to leading the children, hmm.」
I retrieved the empty cups from the two and put them away into the Bear Box.
「So then, did you need sothing?」
He purposely went out of his way to his daughter’s room to et .
「Ah, I have a request. Can you escort Noa to the royal capital?」
「To the royal capital?」
「Yes, I must participate in the king’s 40th birthday commoration, but thanks to sobody, I have a mountain of work.」
「Thanks to sobody...surely you aren’t referring to , right?」
「I’m grateful to you, but it’s the truth.」
「Well, it’s fine, but why ? What about the other adventurers?」
「In case you forgot, I’m also an aristocrat. There’s a chance that my daughter might be targeted, in which case I want soone I trust to take care of my daughter.」
「So you’re saying you trust .」
I wanted to go to the royal capital anyway though, so it was fine.
「So then, when are we going?」
「As early as tomorrow is fine with , since I think Noa also wants to et her mother as soon as possible.」
That reminded , I had never seen her mother in this house.
Since she had never co out to talk to , I thought she had passed away, but that was apparently not the case.
「Her mother is at the royal capital?」
「Yes, she has so work at the royal capital.」
「In that case, shall we depart tomorrow?」
「Is that okay?」
I nodded and asked Cliff about an important matter.
「So then, am I the sole escort?」
「Yeah, won’t it be encumberso if there are others? You have the summoned beasts, so you’ll probably be riding them if you need to escape. In addition, you have the power to defeat a Black Viper. There aren’t any adventurers at your level in this town, you see.」
「I understand. In that case, I’ll co pick you up tomorrow.」
「You saved so trouble. There are so things that I want you to take with you, but I need to prepare them, so please wait for a bit.」
Cliff left the room for a mont and ca back quickly.
「This is for Elenora, please hand it to Noa’s mother.」
I received two letters and a large box.
「This is?」
「Inside this is the Goblin King’s sword that I received from you. After thinking of the worst-case scenario, I wanted to pass it to Elenora. I wrote detailed explanations in this letter, so I think she’ll understand if you give it to her. Also, this letter is for the Adventurer’s Guild, for handling this as a nominated request, so you can receive this request at the guild.」
I stowed the letters and the Goblin King’s sword away.
In order to quickly make preparations for tomorrow, I left the feudal lord’s manor.
First of all, I needed to tell Mylene that I planned to leave town, so I headed towards the Comrce Guild.
==================================
At last, we’re going to the royal capital.
Though initially, the reason I had co up with for going to the royal capital was to be a rchant’s guard.
The story has kind of wandered off into a considerably weird direction because of the Goblin King’s sword that I irresponsibly wrote about.
