The weather is fine today.
The gently blowing wind is cool and feels a sign of autumn approaching. Even though the sea is covered and I think today's port town will feel very good, I can only imagine without permission to go out.
I understand, unfortunately, that this cannot be helped.
While I was in charge, the world situation had changed dramatically.
The Kingdom of Nabel has sent documents of protest to the Raptor kingdom and has stepped up to economic sanctions. Vint, an ally, has also issued a statement in support of the Kingdom of Nabel.
Although most countries are quiet, Grunt, a small country sandwiched between Nabel and Raptor, was reluctantly willing to take the side of Nabel.
Although there has been no war, the world situation has become rather volatile.
And I shouldn't have been able to walk around like that.
I was suspicious when I heard that the protest was an assassination attempt on the First Princess of the Kingdom of Nabel. What the hell kind of town am I?
I think the Raptor who comes after me every time something happens has become more or less blind. And the reason for me was probably in front of the building, or in the name of the cause.
Even if I knew, I couldn't stand it very much.
Although nominally, it is difficult for me to explain why.
It is too heavy for the cautious to carry. I want peace today, but unfortunately I'm not involved in politics at all. It's not an area where I can speak up...
Rubbing around the stomach that began to hurt, a voice came from behind.
"Princess? Are you sick?
He said that to a tough young man with bronze hair and eyes.
It's Theo, my friend I haven't seen in a long time.
One taller head than me, he bends down and peeks into my face.
Looking at me holding my stomach, I lurked a well-shaped eyebrow.
"Maybe your stomach hurts? Shall I take you to your room?"
"It's okay."
Theo shook his head in a hurry at the momentum he was about to hold up.
"Very well. I'm just hungry."
Even if you smile and gesture to cheer up, Theo's suspicious gaze won't go away. He took off his robe after sighing one by one with a silly look.
"... Theo?
Theo wraps Robe around my waist, a symbol of the wizard. Cu, it looks like a good father to tie his arms around his stomach.
"It's going to be a little tough, but please be patient. It's not good for women to cool their bodies."
I was stunned by Theo's bitter smile.
What, this high-spec good-looking guy.
Instead of scolding you for being indifferent if you're not feeling well, you must give me your jacket and appeal that you're worried. Where is the hero of the girl cartoon? Isn't your boyfriend too powerful?
I was stunned to see Theo's good-looking face, but soon I returned happily.
"I can't. This robe will be important. I'm going to make sweets, so I'm going to get dirty."
If it gets dirty, I can wash it. Let's start making it faster. "
Stop me trying to untie the knot and Theo wriggles.
Apparently they won't accept it even if I return it, so I decided to borrow it for a while.
Himee. I brought it. Is this all right?
The kitchen door opens and Lutz comes in with a small box.
"Yes, thank you."
When you receive a small box and open it, the fragrance of black tea spreads.
I really like tea cookies.
Nevertheless, some people may not like it, so be careful not to cook too much.
"Cookies are the only thing I make this time... what's that?"
Lutz's gaze, which was supposed to have looked me in the face, went down to the waist.
Seeing Theo's robe wrapped around his waist, he wrinkled between his eyebrows.
"Theo lent it to me to keep me from getting cold. But you can't treat something important like this."
Put your hands on the knot again.
"Cunning! Use mine too."
Huh?
Lutz takes off his robe and wraps it around my waist from above Theo's robe.
Looking at me in a circle, Lutz relieved himself satisfactorily.
I'm so glad you both care... I'm so glad.
"I'm glad it's a little heavy...."
The magician's robe is tailored with a durable cloth.
If one piece is wrapped around the waist, it will be heavy on the boulder. The weak me became like a Debuff of Degeneration.
"Lutz, don't embarrass the princess."
"'Cause it's just Theo and all that craftiness! I went to use it, and the quick wins don't apply."
"... I don't know." []/(exp, n) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) "
While scratching his cheeks with his fingers, Theo, with his eyes down, exhales.
After that, they showed me a hot game in which they played 15 times in a row.
And the sixteenth time Theo won, Lutz's robe was recovered.
"Now, shall we begin?"
When I'm a little lighter, I roll up my sleeves too.
I'm going to bake a lot, so we need to get started early.
With more plains and nuts, orange peels, tea, and cinnamon are rare.
I don't have any chocolate at hand, so I don't want chocolate chips or cocoa flavour.
I have prepared beans to try the coffee flavour, but I will stop it. I used instant coffee when I made it in my previous life, and I'm worried that it will work with ground beans.
At first glance, Theo was as good as ever.
You don't have to tell me what to do, but you're ahead of me as if you read my thoughts. Thanks to that, it was finished well ahead of schedule.
Reach out to the coffee you left behind to rest while the cookies cool down. Sometimes I wanted to drink coffee instead of tea, so Julius gave it to me.
"... I almost didn't show up."
Lutz murmurs like a child.
Speaking of the refrigerator appearing in the cookie making process, it was time to put the dough to bed, but this time I used the ice room because there was a lot of it. It seems like it would be hard to cool all the dough evenly for more than an hour.
"You told me about the mold puller."
"I wanted to help you with magic, like Theo!
It was funny how clumsy Lutz was probably making molded cookies. It seems that he was dissatisfied.
Looking at the coffee at hand, I remember a dessert.
After checking for milk, sugar and eggs, I made a suggestion to Lutz.
Well, can you make ice cream again?
"Of course, it's fine!
Lutz's expression became brighter and brighter.
I grew up in Lutz, a beautiful young man who seems to be the target of a maiden game, but when I look like this, I look like a child. Though a sad expression might suit me, as a friend, it would be much better for me to laugh innocently.
That's right. Speaking of maiden games, I wanted Hanami to participate in today's cookie making, but she refused because she had an appointment.
She said she wanted to make sweets with me, and she looked so sorry that she wanted to believe it wasn't a social resignation.
If I put in the cookies later, will you take them?
When I go to deliver tea to Master Leonhart, I'll give it to him with me.
After that, Lutz helps me make milk ice cream.
Prepare hot water boiled by Theo. Carefully filter the pre-ground beans with a cloth filter and add dark-eyed coffee.
Place ice in a deep bowl in front of two people and pour the coffee in turn.
What a finished afoguard.
"It's melting.
"I see. So eat it quickly."
When prompted, Lutz rushed to insert the spoon. Theo looked at it with interest and then took a bite.
"Delicious"
Apparently it was in Theo's mouth. The usual cookies and Madeleine are also delicious, but today he is more eye-catching than Lutz.
"It smells really good. The bitterness of the coffee and the sweetness of the ice cream go perfectly together. Maybe I prefer a little more coffee."
"It's still bitter for me. It's delicious, but it would be better if it were sweeter."
There seems to be a difference in preferences.
I smiled bitterly and served coffee in Theo's bowl and ice cream in Lutz's bowl. It seems to have just become a good sweetness, and Lutz is in a good mood to eat.
After I had made my share, I sat in the opposite seat, and Theo and I met each other.
"The princess's hand is magical."
"Me?
Round your eyes to Theo's words.
The two of you have the magic hand, not me. I think it's a great power to be able to cook without fire or ice.
"I see. Anything in Princess's hands transforms into something delicious."
With a spoon in one hand, Lutz agreed with Theo.
My hands are very normal and I don't have any special abilities, but I'm glad you said that.
"I'm glad you like it so much. I'll make something else next time."
In my words, Lutz gladly narrows his eyes.
Unlike the innocent smile I gave you earlier, it was an adult look.
"Yeah, that's how the princess always laughs."
"We'll do whatever we can."
I swallow words trying to say that I would be more than welcome to help.
Because their eyes were so serious, they felt like they had a different meaning.
Perhaps the assassination attempt worried me. Even if I wanted to hear that, I had already moved on to dessert, so I missed the time to cut it out.
