Chapter 12 - 012 : a filler day

"I miss soft bread..."

Arthur sits on a stair that leading to the outside and watching Emilia while mumbling mindlessly, he is very bored because like what Emilia said she is rarely going out maybe that's because election or maybe because her appearance but Arthur hope this is because the former.

"I'm sorry if the bread is not to your liking, Arthur-sama"

"What?!"

Rem is standing behind him and bowing her head and gave an apologetic face.

"Sorry Rem, I did not dislike your bread but I just missing something from my hometown "

'Shit I forget the one who handles food here is Rem and I just complain about it when she is near, I must change the topic '

Even if Rem appearance is cute but one can't forget she is from oni race... and that morningstar

"Oh, right Rem do you have fresh milk? I need a full bucket "

"What do you need it for Arthur-sama?"

"I see you didn't have buŧŧer here so I will make it"

"Butter? What's that?"

"Well there is maybe a lot of things it can do but the important thing about buŧŧer is it can make a bread texture became softer"

"Please wait a bit, I will go to the nearby village to buy it"

Rem looks like more energetic maybe because she wants to know how to improve her cooking skills

'Seriously who is have an idea to pair a girl like that with morningstar...'

"Wait, maybe I will come too. It's a bit boring here"

"Yes Arthur-sama "

On the way to arlam village Rem ask a lot of things about how to make buŧŧer and in the end, Arthur tells Rem how to make it step by step and how to process other things from the leftovers.

When they will comeback Arthur place his hand on Rem's shoulder and they reappear in front of the mansion because Arthur notified Rem beforehand so she is not to shock but she just feels surprised.

"So this is how you can take Emilia-sama to the city?"

"Yeah, oh right because I already tell you everything about how to make buŧŧer than now I will just stand behind you and just interfere when you make a grave mistake "

"Why you didn't stop me when I will make a mistake?"

"Because I can't cook and I just know how to make it from a book"

Arthur announces it proudly and he is also can't say he read it from google and watch it from youtube.

In the end maybe because her cooking skills are very good Rem can make it perfectly and with magic, everything can become more easy.

You didn't have a refrigerator? Then use ice magic

You didn't have gas? Than use fire magic

You late paid your water bill? Than Use water magic to blow up the company

"What are you doing here Arthur?"

"Oh Emi, well we try to make buŧŧer here but Rem is really good at cooking so she succeeded in the first try"

Arthur tells her how it can ve use on the bread and Emilia look like want to try... to eat a new bread with buŧŧer.

In the dining table, there is something different

Because the bread now look more appetizing than before and have a different flavor and even Beatrice find it more to her like than before.

"What makes it different, I wonder?"

"Because we add buŧŧer as an ingredient to make this bread, so of course will be different from the bread we usually eat "

"But I never find it in any book I read before "

"That's because this is from my hometown"

Beatrice becomes silent when Arthur mentions his hometown and glance at him and enjoy her meal, maybe she still not believes entirely in Arthur about his hometown being outside of the great waterfall.

"I think this is not to hard to make it?"

"As you can see Emi, even Rem can make it in her first try so this will not difficult well of course Rem is very good at cooking but I think this is simple enough for everyone to try it"

"If you sale how to make buŧŧer to some merchant I think you will get a lot of money? Why you didn't do it when you arrived in the capital?"

"Do you think someone will do anything I said because I tell them I can make something like buŧŧer?"

"Well you're right too, but can we share this to people in the kingdom? I think this will bring a lot of benefits "

"This is about your dream right... Emi do you believe in me?"

"Yes, why do you ask it?"

"Then if you believe me then wait until I think the time is perfect, and even if we share it sometimes later that's not too late"

"Well if you said so then that's fine too"

"Oh Beatrice I will bother you for next few days so don't kick me from library "

"Even if I want to kick you I think you can find it effortlessly, I suppose "

"Then thanks Beatrice "

The following day is passing by peacefully

Arthur spend his time in the library reading a lot of things about the Kingdom of Lugunica and sometimes he also needs to borrow a book from Emilia and this makes Emilia wondering what he is trying to do but no matter how many times she asks he never answer and just said this will be a surprise for her.

His relationship with the twin sisters is also good maybe because of his status as Emilia's knight or because he didn't reek the scent of the witch they didn't treat him badly like how they treat Subaru, especially Rem who always ask him about new cuisine if she had the time.

Luckily in the past, Arthur has a lot of time to waste so sometimes he browses how to make something and tried it, and of course he is failed because 'knowing how to make it' is different from 'can make it' and this situation leading to a conversation that happened a few days before.

They are in the kitchen trying to make noodles

"Arthur-sama you're very strong and I think you need a lot of time to train how can you still have time for cooking?"

"Who said I can cooking?"

"You can't?"

The two of them look to each other eyes

Rem seems like she didn't believe what he said

And Arthur can't accept Rem high expectations because he will very embarrassed if one day he asked to make a dish and he makes fool himself.

"Rem, i.. not a perfect knight who know how to fight and can cook so... I'm sorry I just know how to make something but can't make it"

"But.. how you know a lot of cuisine recipes if you can't make it?"

"Well.. at least I can make scrambled eggs... but that's still overcooked in the back "

"That's really unbelievable... something that easy to do..."

"Well you know how to make it now so I will go, bye Rem"

Arthur decides to run because he doesn't want to embarrass himself more than this.
