Chapter ss4
“I want to eat shaved ice . ”
“Shaved ice?”
I was in the middle of training at the Court Mage Division’s training grounds .
I couldn’t help but say that because it was so hot .
Shaved ice is popular in Japan, but it doesn’t exist in Slantania Kingdom .
Head Magician-sama tilted his head in confusion when he heard my mutter .
“I ate it a lot in my hometown . ”
“What kind of food is it?”
“It’s made from shaved ice, and then you put fruit syrup on top . ”
“Shaved ice…”
Ice was precious in this world, so they didn’t make sweets out of ice .
Hence, it seemed like he couldn’t imagine what it looked like, and thoroughly asked me about shaved ice .
Still, I couldn’t remember what shaved ice machines looked like, so I could only explain what I knew .
Nevertheless, he seemed to understand it to a certain degree .
After he thought for a while, he cast ice magic .
As a result, an ice pillar towered over the training grounds .
I looked at the ice pillar that was taller than me and thought, what the heck is he trying to do? I looked at him, and this time, he cast wind magic .
The ice was scraped off by the magic before my eyes .
“Like this?”
“Yes, well…”
I saw stunned by the mountain of shaved ice in the training grounds .
Cold air drifted through the area thanks to the ice mountain .
“You can make it if you have syrup, right?”
“Yes . ”
“Then, shall we go?”
“Excuse me?”
I tilted my head at his surprising words .
Shall we go? Where?
He said syrup so are we going to the research institute’s dining hall?
I followed the smiling Head Magician-sama without knowing where we were going, and we ended up at the Royal Palace’s dining hall .
The chefs all looked as if they were questioning why he’d come .
Amongst the chefs, I found a chef who comes to the research institute dining hall .
“Can I help you with something?”
“Could we borrow some space? We’d like to make something . ”
“You want to make something?”
“Yes . Also, do you have any fruit syrup? We want to use that . ”
Head Magician-sama answered the timid chef .
Even though the request was abrupt, the chef showed us to a corner of the kitchen probably because he’d cooked with me before .
“Is here fine?”
“Yes, thanks . ”
Another chef brought us some fruit syrup and jam .
They also brought us other things we needed, such as plates as instructed by Head Magician and I .
The preparations were done, and he recast the magic he’d cast at the training ground .
He made a small ice pillar on top of the big plate and shaved it to create a mountain of shaved ice on the plate .
I put some shaved ice into a small bowl, and put syrup on top before carrying it into my mouth with a spoon .
Oh yes . This is exactly what I wanted!
I absolutely love this coldness and sweetness!
After tasting it, I made another bowl for Head Magician-sama and gave it to him .
He looked at the shaved ice in anticipation . Not waiting any longer, he scooped a mouthful and put it in his mouth .
He looked surprised, and the corners of his mouth went up .
“Ooh… This is nice on hot days . ”
“Yes . It’s something that you want to eat in summer . ”
“I can tell . ”
After that, we ate our shaved ice in silence .
I received permission from Head Magician, so I served some for the chefs to eat since they were looking at us in curiosity .
I heard them raise their voice in surprise .
“Aah, that was good . ”
I couldn’t help but sigh because I hadn’t eaten shaved ice in so long .
It’ll probably still be hot for a while, so I want to eat it again .
But it’s hard to make this much ice .
Head Magician-sama made some for me this time because he was interested in shaved ice .
“Thank you for making the ice . ”
“You’re welcome . I was also able to try a new type of sweets . ”
“I’m so happy that I got to eat shaved ice again . ”
“If you want to eat it, then I’ll make as much ice as you want . ”
“REALLY?!” I replied quickly because I was happy with his offer .
Head Magician-sama put his hand to his mouth when he saw this and turned to the side .
Huh? Don’t tell me he’s laughing?
His shoulders were shaking a bit .
I feel like our positions have changed .
Whatever .
I really wanted to eat shaved ice, you know!
