75 15. Land of Happiness Marine Forest

Each team simultaneously placed the treats on the platform of the square, signaling the sound of a bell ending the Sweets Games. Confirm that and explain the method of vetting to the audience gathered by the MC man.

'Come on, they all look like delicious treats. It is up to all of you to judge this! Have a tasting and give the flowers prepared to the team that made your favorite treat. The team that won this flower the most will win!

The flowers prepared are small pink flowers. With so many people in charge of judging having those flowers, the team that shines in the victory will be made of flowers.

"The winning dawn will receive a medal as a royal servant, as I was told."

As soon as the MC told him so, the cheer boiled down.

A royal servant is not such an easy title to obtain. Credit is also involved in ongoing business. Even if we start doing business and we're on track, we have to show our strength to keep the status quo going for a few years.

'And besides winning, there are special judges' awards! This is an award given to one team by both sires, the head chef and deputy head chef, and Master Lilliage. At a royally-sponsored night club, the selected treats will be lined up as desserts!

The special prize also gives me a great deal of voice. Either way, it's a great honor to be chosen, and anyone who runs a restaurant will want an award so much that they can get their hands out of their throat.

In addition, there are side awards such as prizes and ornaments.

Thus, a taste review began.

Those who became judges rushed under the confectionery, and the confectionery that was supposed to be plentiful disappeared. Everyone says, "Yummy!," he blossoms into conversation about which is his favorite treat.

"It's nice to have a loop in the sweets like this."

Tiara Rose looks at the people who eat sweets happily and smiles. But at the same time, I'm going to regret it somewhere. The reason is simple. Because I participated as an athlete, I was unable to participate as a judge who could eat a lot of sweets.

He shrugged so that no one could hear him as he put his hand on his cheek to see if he had failed.

◇ ◇ ◇

All the treats were arranged before the King Sotiris, who served as special judges. That all looks delicious and brightly colored.

Scrutinize your appearance first, while somehow curbing the urge to eat immediately.

"They're all great and very difficult to judge. Speaking of what catches my eye in this, is it still the team of the Tiara Roses? Very brilliant candy maker."

"Yeah, really. It's amazing because you can even make sweets, not just upbringing as a queen. Thanks to Tiara Rose, the dessert situation in this country has become very rich."

"Right."

In addition, cakes with finely shredded chocolate and Madeleine, who looked out for the national flower, were also highly regarded. Then move on to real food.

"Oh, is this a honey cupcake? The sweeter nature, the easier it is for men to eat and make."

Honey cupcakes praised by the chef were made by the city's popular Honey Cafe Flower Honey shopkeeper. Honey was a luxury product with little distribution, but bees preferred Tiara Rose flowers, allowing them to collect a lot of honey.

As a result, it is becoming easier to reach the common people, not the nobles.

A compliment with cupcakes shows a burnt cupcake in the chef's eye. I get nervous about the fact that it is the real deal and the audience, and I tilt my neck to take it even though I wonder if I couldn't successfully adjust the baking additions and subtractions.

As you can see from a distance, it's overcooked. I was burning hard through the crunch, not very much, but I couldn't possibly want to eat it.

"Though, it's a review, so you have to eat..."

As I've noticed, the chef tries to open his mouth and eat it... but he calls it 'Kiku!' Ringing and controlled by Lilliage.

"Uh, Dear Tiara Rose's friend Lilliage. What's wrong, sir? If you eat something that's too burnt, I don't think it's good for you."

Instead of burnt cupcakes, the chef serves the honey cupcakes to Lilliage. But shaking his head, Lilliage insists he wants a scorched cupcake.

I just thought I'd give this to you, and the chef confirms the team that made this scorched cupcake. There, the names Ferres, Keith and Crail were listed.

I hear that, and Sotiris speaks "I see".

"That's Keith, the fairy king of the woods. I didn't know you were attending this event."

"Hey, my God! Such a thing...... Huh!!"

Sotiris also sees Keith at Tiara Rose and Aquasteed weddings and more. For this reason, it was soon found out that it was a cupcake made by the Fairy King.

The chef stares at the scorched cupcakes, shivering that this is a treat made by the Fairy King.

"It's a fairy king's cake, so maybe Master Lilliage wanted it too"

Placing the cupcake in front of Lilliage, she smiled joyfully into her mouth - flashing her face in an instant. It didn't look good and didn't seem burnt and hard and delicious.

"............ I see"

Even to see how Lilliage is doing, the chef goes on to hit the cupcakes, saying it's for scrutiny. Moments, the twitchy bitterness spread in my mouth. Sure, this is not good. I chewed it somehow and shook my head to stop eating it.

But then, the chef felt his body warm.

"? This is what if..."

"What's wrong with you?

"Your Majesty…. Yes, apparently, very little, but this cupcake has a magical effect"

Regardless of the taste, is its potency just something like Fairy King? The chef left it to that inspiring momentum and ate all the unsavory cupcakes.

And secondly, a macaroon made by Haltnights and Sirius. Lilliage also looks delicious and gently flattens Sotiris and Lavina.

However, the rating is not very high, especially since it is not a macaroon with new ideas.

"Tiara Rose cake next. They make a big round of roses out of candy, and they're so beautiful."

Lavina plays her voice and stares inadvertently at the cake of the Tiara Roses. Glittering candy workmanship with raw cream and chocolate ribbon decorations.

Exactly, you could call it one art.

"What a waste to eat. But if you don't eat it, it rots. I've never felt this way about food before."

Placing a fork in a rough cake, Lavina slowly includes sponges, raw cream and chocolate sections in her mouth. The sponge is made of raw cream and chocolate, delicious to melt just that.

"... ha, very tasty"

"Oh, this is delicious. It tastes very polite and classy."

Beating their tongues, Sotiris and the others finish tasting all the treats. Discussions were held on which teams to make special awards next.

◇ ◇ ◇

- Ha, I want to do the vetting, too.

Tiara Rose watched as the judges ate the sweets looking delicious and left flowers on their favorite team. And at the same time, I vow to be a judge next year and eat lots of delicious sweets.

And a lot of flowers were pointed at Tiara Rose's team as well. When Tiara Rose thinks this is going to win a little, a bright voice goes into her ear.

"Sister Tiara Rose"

"Dear Sirius. Good luck making sweets. How was it?

"My brother was clumsy and in trouble," said Sirius, who joined with Haltnites, making him laugh, including tea glare.

"Well, Master Haltnights was clumsy,"

I listen to Sirius and laugh when the acari dull. Next to that, Olivia takes a clumsy and embarrassing note in her notebook.

It's true that the two of us made macaroons, but Haltnights crushed the majority of macaroons.

"But it's also fun to try and make your own what you usually casually eat. As a matter of fact, I wanted Sister Tiara Rose to eat the macaroon I made."

"Do you have a macaroon made by Master Sirius? Thank you, it looks so delicious. Beautiful shape, and it would have been pretty hard to make, wouldn't it?

Look at the beautifully wrapped macaroon, Tiara Rose can flaunt her expression. It's always a pleasure for someone to make treats for themselves.

Praise Sirius, but it must have been tough, right? and labor Sirius, who would have done unfamiliar work.

"I failed a little at first, but if I get used to it, I can do something about it"

"Master Sirius is very clever."

When Tiara Rose is impressed with Sirius' words, the MC's voice echoes in the square as the review appears to be over.

"This concludes the review! Please wait while we go to the tally ~! '

"Mmm, I feel like we're winners, what do you say?"

Compare the flowers Acari has won with other teams and tell them they are quite likely to win. Tiara Rose also comes from time to time as she watches the staff count.

- Would you like our cake?

I was concerned about that, but I am proud to say that it is quite highly regarded because I get a lot of flowers from the judges. Still, the tension of waiting for results is not reduced.

Olivia is also restless with the twitching Tiara Rose.

"It's time for results.... Dear Sirius, you should return to your cooking space once. Mr. Haltnights will be worried."

"It's a results announcement, so you have no choice. I really wanted to be with Sister Tiara Rose a little longer."

Tiara Rose thinks Sirius is cute to look a little lonely and would have liked to have had a brother like this. The Tiara Roses breathe a sigh of relief by sending them out first before they get results.

After Sirius is invisible, Olivia opens her mouth "You're cute".

"He was a character that barely came out in the game, but he's a beautiful boy, and I'm so sorry he didn't come out in the main."

Olivia.

Olivia gets a chiseled sigh when she absolutely misses him in the game. And I realized that he was Akari's brother-in-law, "I envy you," and breathed deeply.

If you're bitterly smiling at Olivia like that, the MC tells you the flower tally is over.

"All right, definitely the winner must be us!

Come on, announce the results quickly, Common! And, the acari wait in Jen royalty. Presented will be a special award for the top five teams and judges.

"First, fifth place! Honey Cafe Flower Honey's, Honey Cupcakes! One hundred eighty-six flowers earned!

A applause comes from the audience and the shopkeeper bows out saying thank you.

"Flower honey is the cafe I went to with Olivia the other day. I'm so glad you know the shops are popular."

"Yeah, really. We have Acari now, and we'll see you soon."

"Looking forward to it!

Fourth- and third-place were announced while the women's club story was in full swing. Pancakes and ice cream had been chosen. And finally, there's first and second place left.

Hands together to pray and listen to the MC's words.

'Oh, my God, the difference between first and second place was only seven flowers. That was quite a fight, my hands to tally were going to tremble unexpectedly!

- I'm sure the masked man will come to the top.

Danish cakes are not in this country yet and I have never made Tiara Rose. Eating as a sweet, of course, is more versatile than cake because it can be used for breakfast and lunch.

Given that point, would the Tiara Roses be at a disadvantage?

- But even we made the best of it.

Never took a retreat to a masked man's Danish cake. Tiara Rose would be able to tell that with her chest stretched.

"Come on, come on, second place, the number of flowers won, three, two! The number of copies increased at once. Second, this is a large wheel of rose cake made by Dear Tiara Rose's team!

When the MC gives the results in high spirits, wow, a loud cheer occurs.

"Liar, aren't we the only ones!?"

I'm sorry to hear that.

Akali, kneeling with his fists on the ground, is about to truly regret it. I know you were willing to win with a bee, but the regret is that Tiara Rose is the same.

'The glorious winner was a masked man made a Danish cake! The cute look is popular with women, and yet the point of view of bread won many men's votes will be the winning factor. The number of flowers won is 329!!'

After a huge round of applause, the masked man goes to the center with a meeting. What we have there is a medal for the victory certificate and a variety of side awards.

"But it's hard to win using modern cake recipes"

"Dear Tiara, be sure to win next year!!"

"Eh."

Akali, who has now begun to put his next tournament in perspective, is now willing to study making sweets when he returns. I do plan to do it again next year, but Tiara Rose wanted to do the judges, not taste......

"Then what about a five-step cake to make it more impactful?

"Dear Olivia, that's good!

Talking properly, Acari and Olivia are already starting to thrive completely oblivious to the existence of the winner. The two of you don't have any prizes or anything in particular, and Tiara Rose thinks it's okay - haha, the yellow scream sounded.

"What the hell...?"

"Ugh!

"Huh...... Huh!!"

Tiara Rose sees the center of the square, the source of the voice, breathtaking. Akali is surprised and Olivia unwittingly nearly bleeds her nose and holds her face down with her hands.

There stood not the man in the mask who received the medal - but the Aquasteed who removed the mask.

"Dear Aqua... Huh!? Lie, when... but I certainly wasn't anywhere when I looked before the tournament started."

I never thought this would happen.

In the first place, Tiara Rose didn't think Aquasteed could make treats. Sometimes I help Tiara Rose make a little, but that's about it.

When was I able to make such a nice Danish cake? It's a delightful miscalculation, but it's suddenly too unfolding and bad for the heart.

It was the prince, the king of his country, who made a treat that everyone admired - and there is no reason for the women to make a scene.

As I watched Tiara Rose win Aquasteed, I caught sight of Aquasteed on the pretend. She smiles gently and her chest squeals all the time.

"Tiara"

"Oh... no"

Aquasteed slowly walked under Tiara Rose and offered her the Danish cake she had made.

"I wanted Tiara to eat, and I snuck into practice."

"For me...?

Would there be a woman who wouldn't be tempted to say she made sweets for herself? No, I'm not.

What Aquasteed offered was an adorable piece of crunchy Danish fabric with candy coated fruit and tiara rose flowers.

It's a waste to eat, and I hesitate unintentionally. It's a waste to lose such beautiful sweets. But it's just as wasteful not to eat.

- The more I want to watch all the time, the more beautiful.

Aquasteed laughs bitterly at Tiara Rose staring at the danish cake inadvertently. But he definitely seemed to like what he had made, and the joy creeps up.

And Aquasteed realizes Tiara Rose has a macaron. Considering it wasn't made by Tiara Rose, a little jealousy sprouts up wondering if someone gave it to me.

"Tiara, what about that macaroon?

"Huh?"

Sure, it reminds me that Haltnights was making macaroons. No way, now my ex-fiancée, who married another woman, gives away treats, makes me feel incredible.

But Aquasteed's predictions fell off.

"Master Sirius gave it to me."

"Oh, brother, is that you... But just my sweets today. Right?"

"Huh!

Though I'm still a kid Sirius, I don't want to feed other guys made treats. Aquasteed made sure to push the little Danish cake against Tiara Rose's mouth to feed it.

- is, embarrassing!!

The surrounding gaze has been pouring here ever since Aquasteed arrived. Even though we all know how many couples, it's embarrassing.

But Aquasteed doesn't seem to pull either, and Tiara Rose has no choice but to eat the Danish cake.

The crisp dough seems to be braised with honey, with a hint of sweetness. The fruit is stingy and I think I can eat as many as I want - what a thought, I got obsessed and flattened one with the pepper.

"Was it delicious?

"... mmm, yes. But I was embarrassed. No more."

Aquasteed wipes the breadcrumbs on the side of his lips with his fingers and smiles satisfactorily. And hold Tiara Rose up as she is and use the ring of the Fairy King in the sky to shout out loudly.

"The star this time, as we all know, is Tiara Rose. With the blessing of the Fairy King of the Woods, he restored greenery to Marine Forest. Would you please give my beloved Lady a round of applause for her blessing?

When Aquasteed tells him so, those who were gathered in the square applaud him in unison. I can hear you screaming Tiara Rose's name out loud and saying thank you for a fun festival.

"Dear Tiara Rose!

"The cake was delicious"

"Looking forward to next year!

Tiara Rose waves loudly to respond to the words of the people. And at the same time, I get the feeling that I'm very happy.

Tiara Rose thought from the bottom of her heart that she was glad she was able to protect this country.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Dear Aqua, you're going to take a bath with Lilia"

"Oh. You'll be tired today, take your time"

"Thank you"

The Sweets Games closed with a great deal of cheer.

The winner is Aquasteed. The special jury award is for the third-place team that made the ice cream. Akali regretted it, but the special prize is just hard on the team of royalty and their associates.

It should be noted that the result of the Ferres team is… needless to say.

"Tiara's cake, it was delicious"

"Thank you, Master Lilia"

While the two of us grab a hot tub, it's about the Sweets Games that we talk about. Lilliage seems to have had a lot of fun, sharing her thoughts with her eyes shining.

"Next year and beyond, we're going to play the tournament all the time, right? I can't help but look forward to it now.... Ferres' cupcakes weren't delicious. '

"Oh, did you..."

I laugh bitterly at Lilliage's words and tell him then we'll just have to practice. Because Aquasteed won, it would be possible if Ferres also practiced desperately. However, although the level of sweets is likely to increase with each increase in the number of times.

"Oh, yes, I did."

'Tiara, it's been about a month since you took in my powers, but is there anything strange about your body? If you're at all uncomfortable, let me know'

Think about what was asked, but soon "it's okay," Tiara Rose says. Shortly after accepting the power of Lilliage, he was dazed like a daze, but now he's nothing.

'Really, good. Thanks to Tiara, I am likely to be able to maintain the status quo for several hundred years or so. Thank you.'

With words of gratitude, I bowed my head deeply after Lilliage went up to the edge of the tub.

"Don't bow your head that way, Master Lilia. … but I'm glad to be of some help"

As for Tiara Rose, I'm so glad Lilliage is laughing so well. As someone with the same rings of the starry sky, I want to continue to have a good relationship.

- Oh?

I smiled and told him I was okay. Tiara Rose, but I rebuke Lilliage's words again.

"It looks like we can maintain the status quo for hundreds of years or so."

In view of this, Tiara Rose will have absorbed hundreds of years of power that Lilliage receives on his shoulder. I am anxious to know if it is really ok, although there is no abnormality in my body so far.

- Maybe I... someday.

I wonder if the day will come when I will become a monster. I wonder what kind of idea goes through the back of my brain, but it's never unlikely.

Like Ferres and Lilliage, they don't live for more than a thousand years, so maybe that worry is useless. However, a little anxiety remains on Tiara Rose's chest.

'Tiara, what's wrong?

"No, it's nothing. Maybe I put it up a little bit."

'I'm tired today, aren't I? Looks like the Ferres have a treat for you, shall we go up now?'

Nodding at Lilliage's words, Tiara Rose lifts Lilliage and leaves the bathroom. Filine, who was waiting, wipes Lilliage's body before helping Tiara Rose change.

"Aren't you a lot tired?

"Really? Philine, can I just ask for a little massage later?

"Yes, of course."

I strained and made a lot of cake, so I'm getting more tired than I'm aware of. But first, we all have a dinner party.

"Tiara, are you up?

"Dear Aqua? Yes, I'm up. What's wrong, sir?

Hearing Aquasteed's voice, Tiara Rose takes her bathrobe under the feather-woven Aquasteed.

"Look, it's still wet. You'll catch a cold."

"... thank you"

With a bitter smile, Aquasteed used the magic of the wind to dry Tiara Rose's hair. Keep your fingers tangled and enjoy Tiara Rose's hair.

"Tiara's hair is troublesome because she wants to touch it all the time"

When I no longer want to let go, Aquasteed mouths the hair gently as she tells me so. Tiara Rose, who embraces her eyes narrowly and seems comfortable, can also be added to the trouble of being too defenseless.

"I like to touch Aqua's cheeks these days!

"That's my first ear."

"While asleep, sneak in"

Tickles, Aquasteed laughs.

"Then I'll have to do something to get back at Tiara while she's asleep."

"Master Aqua has touched me enough when I'm awake, so that's a rejection."

At any rate, when Tiara Rose smiles at me for touching me when I'm awake - whoops, I can be hugged by Aquasteed.

"It's a dinner party coming up, so don't say anything too cute. Makes me want to fall back."

"Oh... excuse me"

When the two of us are giggling, we realize that at some point Lilliage and Filine are gone. A good samurai is always good at reading the air.

Aquasteed and I sit by the window and indulge in the starry sky for just a moment.

"Marine Forest is really beautiful."

"Oh. Tiara and I are going to protect the starry sky."

"... Yes"

May this land be much happier.

I stared at the starry sky for a while, as I prayed so.
