Chapter 1124 - Invitation from the World King ③
It was decided that we will partic.i.p.ate in the Harmonic Symphony, then I will go to the tea party afterwards.
The partic.i.p.ating members this time were Lilia-san, Luna-san, Sieg-san, Aoi-san, Hina-chan and myself, all the members who had partic.i.p.ated in the Sacred Tree Festival back then.
There were no stalls prepared for this event, so the number of partic.i.p.ants was smaller than at the Sacred Tree Festival, but in a sense, we could say that our group was made of standard members.
I also invited Mom and Dad, but they apparently have an upcoming semiannual Practical Training Course test…… It may not be the test for the formal Employment Test, but they said they wouldn’t partic.i.p.ate this time because they want to focus on this exam.
It seems that both of them have studied well, as my knowledge could no longer keep up with theirs when it comes to Magic Tool Crafting.
[……That being said, I would like to have tea leaves prepared to give Jutia-san if possible, so would that be alright?]
[Yes! There’s no problem. Speaking of which, Milord…… With the tea decided, do you have any candidates for the pastries you would bring?]
[Well, I can think of a few, but I’m not sure what would be good. Should I go with cookies orr scones, but since there are other attendees bringing their own snacks, maybe I should bring something unusual?]
When I confirmed with Nebula if I could bring her tea leaves to the tea party, she readily agreed. The question that followed though was one that I was a bit torn about as well.
It isn’t that I should really bring something, but I think it would be better to prepare something if possible.
However, thinking of sweets…… I can’t think of one that could match Nebula’s tea leaves. Her tea leaves are so great that I thought I should just bring baby castellas to get this thinking over with.
[If that’s the case, we have just the thing for you. It’s this!]
[That is…… chocolate?]
[Yes. They’re made from the cacao we’re growing in our backyard.]
[Cacao? You planted cacao trees there?]
[Yes. We planted a few trees, but we were able to harvest them only recently.]
Now that was quite a surprise. It seemed that they had been expanding the backyard since I told them they were free to use it, but for them to even have cacaos planted…… They probably accelerated its growth with magic. So, these are chocolates made from cacao that they were able to quickly harvest huh.
Well, since it was made by Nebula, I’m sure these are chocolates made from the highest level of cacao. Let’s take a bite……
[……This is extremely delicious. This chocolate’s amazing…… It has a very strong taste, but it doesn’t feel heavy and is very elegant. I feel like I could eat as much of this chocolate as I want.]
[I’m glad you liked it. Using that cacao, I made a variety of chocolates with Illness-san, and this is what we came up with.]
The box that Nebula pulled out looked like a jewelry box with chocolates of various shapes and sizes.
Even so, these chocolates are amazing. I lack the vocabulary to skillfully express it, but it looks like it would go well with any beverage.
If I’m not careful, I feel like I could end up eating as much as I want. This certainly would be a good souvenir to bring.
Yggfresis, Demon Realm.
At Lillywood’s castle, the World King’s Executive, Seven Princesses, were beginning to gather in preparation for the upcoming Harmonic Symphony.
Although not all of them had a.s.sembled yet, more than half of the Seven Princess had already returned to Yggfresis.
[Delicious…… In other words, it’s very tasty. A good find…… In other words, you found something amazing, Jutia.]
[I’m glad, I’m glad, hearing you say that makes me glad. It’s a pretty good, high-cla.s.s chocolate, a new product that’s been released recently. It has a clean taste, and I thought it would go well with tea. How exciting, how exciting, I’m looking forward to this once-every-three years tea party.]
Hearing Ariel, eating a piece of chocolate that Jutia had brought, expressing her thoughts on the chocolate, Jutia happily responded.
Jutia, who loves tea, was looking forward to this once-every-three-years large-scale tea party, as it was an opportunity to encounter rare teas and teacakes.
[……Awawawa, t- t- t- this time of the year appeared again. L- Lia…… Wouldn’t it be alright if just one of us goes absent?]
[That’s obviously no good…… Lillywood-sama was also the one who organized this year’s event after all.]
[I- I- I suppose…… Uuuu, there are so many strangers, it’s so scary.]
[Serioously, your stranger anxiety is quite hardcore, Eri.]
On the other hand, for the shy Rosemary, the large-scale tea party is a daunting event. Wryly smiling at Rosemary who was the same as ever, Camellia poured another of cup of tea.
With the once-every-three-years big event in mind, the World King’s Executive Subordinates began their preparations.
Serious-senpai : [……The Absolute have made something again. And Kaito, with his parental stupidity activated, doesn’t tsukkomi at all when it comes to Nebula.]
