Chapter ss2
Seasons have passed since I’ve been summoned .
And it should be February in Japan .
I wanted to make some sweets with chocolate when I remembered this .
I didn’t have a boyfriend when I was a student, but I made chocolate sweets every year for friends .
I’ve looked for different ingredients in this world since I cook at the research institute, but there were still some I haven’t found yet .
Chocolate is sold at the Royal Capital, and I was happy when I found it .
Since they had so much chocolate for sale, I started searching and found some cocoa .
Today, I’m going to make brownies with cocoa .
I gave the finished brownies to my colleagues at the research institute, and they loved it .
Jude loves sweets, so he also tried my brownies and even ate two .
By the way, Director did too .
I thought they tasted good enough, so I was bringing some to the 3rd Knight Order barracks today .
I’m a little worried since I heard that Captain-san doesn’t really like sweet food .
“Excuse me . ”
I arrived at the barracks, gave my greetings and entered Captain-san’s office . He stood up from his chair and greeted me .
Then, he urged me to sit down on the lounge suite sofa .
“I heard from Johan that you made a new type of sweets,” he said as soon as he sat down . I was a bit surprised by this .
He’d gotten this information quite fast .
“I went to see Johan last night and he boasted about them,” Captain-san smiled wryly and explained because I was surprised .
Somehow, I can picture how he looked at that time .
Honestly, that person…
I laughed in amazement and there was a knock at the door .
The maid entered the room with tea after she’d received Captain-san’s reply .
I sometimes come here for tea, and they always bring it straight away .
The knight outside of the office must have asked a maid to bring some for us .
I received the tea from the maid, placed the brownies I had brought with me on a plate and put it next to the tea cup .
Captain-san saw this and laughed happily .
“You brought some for me . ”
“I did . I’m not sure if you’d like it though, since I heard that you don’t like sweet food…”
“I don’t, but I wanted to try some after hearing about it from Johan . ”
“Really?”
“Yeah . I was thinking of visiting the research institute tomorrow if you hadn’t brought them with you . ”
Eeeh?! He’ll go that far for the brownies?
I was a little surprised that he was looking forward to eating them .
I widened my eyes . Captain-san looked at me and smiled . His smile was sweeter than the brownies or any other sweet .
Stop making that face!
You’re embarrassing me!
I averted my eyes to stop my heart from throbbing violently, and sat down .
… I’ve sat down, but he told me to drink the tea straight away like he normally does .
This is strange . I looked at Captain-san and he opened his mouth when our eyes met .
What is it? I tilted my head and froze, then he smiled mischievously .
“I heard that you fed your colleague when he tasted it for you . ”
“What?!”
I do know what he’s talking about .
It’s true that I had fed Jude like a fletching when he’d opened his mouth to taste it .
And we were seen by Director .
His information source is Director?!
But, never mind Jude, I wonder if it would be good manners to feed Captain-san since he’s a noble .
“Mm… Isn’t that a breach of mannerism?”
“In a public place, yes . But we’re the only ones here right now so it’s fine,” he declared with his face full of expectation, so I could only give up .
“I see…”
I mustered up my courage and put a brownie into Captain-san’s mouth .
