Previous story:
Eva goes to Diana to tell her about the existence of the magic circle. She asks if Diana wants to go to a dark Elf castle during her school holidays. Diana agreed to that.
At that time, other than wanting to give that information to Diana. Eva also plays around with Evan. And he's pretty hooked on touching that baby. Evan carried the appearance of Diana who looked innocent and cute. Distinct far from the Duke's extremely sharp appearance. So Eva guessed, when Evan grew up, he would become a very cute man.
***
The next day, early in the morning I had contacted Ren that Diana had agreed to use the magic circle. And we'll probably be gone in two or three days. I'm not leaving right away because I want to spend time with Vivian first. I want Vivian to feel used to living in this mansion.
"I'm coming to visit" Ren suddenly gave an unexpected answer, which greatly deviated from the topic of conversation.
"Ehh?" I'm still shocked.
"Until later" it was Ren's last words, before the man finally severed his telepathic connection to me.
I still fell silent with a confused face. After a while, I contacted her again to ask her why. But my telepathy was instantly rejected in just a few seconds.
It's not that I don't like that guy to come here. Merely, the impression about her was very bad in Duke's eyes. So the Duke didn't like it at all.
What if the two men meet? Will there be war in this house? I don't want my beautiful house destroyed just because of those two fools.
Ha~ I can only sigh. I'll think about this later. It could be that Ren did not come out in blatant fashion. Maybe he'll sneak up like Robert.
Now, I just have to focus on the person in front of me, Vivian. The girl with a wide smile surrounded the entire kitchen inside my mansion. I even had to accompany him to the food storage warehouse to look around the ingredients.
"What are we going to cook?" I asked with a curious face.
"Hmm.I was thinking about it" Vivian put her index finger on her lips. He was thinking.
"I plan to make food for the Duke as well as the Duchess. Do you have any recommendations for their favorite foods?" ask Vivian later.
Duke and Diana's favorite food? I think they like everything and are not very picky about food. But...
"My mom likes foods that aren't too spicy. My father.he can eat anything" I replied ambiguously.
"It's quite common." Vivian replied pouting.
"You can cook anything" I said later. "I'll help as I can"
Vivian didn't know that I had no talent for cooking. But it doesn't matter. I'll try my best.
Vivian nodded as well. He started to get some maids to move some cooking ingredients.
"It's less. Let's go shopping for some more seasonings" Vivian said later.
My face twitched at the mountain of food in front of me. "It's only for four people. Why cook that much" I murmured in disbelief.
"It won't be in vain. If more we can give it to the servants and bodyguards" Vivian replied later.
But I really didn't think that Vivian would also think of the servants and bodyguards who were of lower rank. Didn't the novel state that he was selfish enough about his pride as a noble? Maybe he changed since he cut off his relationship with the Marquis. I don't know either, because for me Vivian is Vivian.
I accompanied Vivian to the food store. We'll just buy some condiments that aren't in the kitchen. I'm also quite surprised Vivian remembers all the cooking spices. That's a pretty unique talent.
In the modern world, she can be a good housewife because she has a talent for cooking. In accordance with his simple ideals. But I don't guarantee it in this world. Because the world is a little different. But maybe Vivian will be happy if she finds a good partner and matches her personality.
Originally, the Duke ordered us to go using the carriage. We both politely declined. We prefer to walk because it is more fun. Moreover, the shop was not too far from the mansion and also the carriage from the Duke's house was very conspicuous in the crowd.
We entered the store peacefully because we were wearing plain, inconspicuous clothes. No one knew that we were nobles of the clothes we were wearing. As well as the large round hats we wear partially cover our faces as well. So it's completely safe.
Not that I feel myself famous enough that I don't cover my face, okay.
Vivian also chose some spices. I just followed her in the back, circling the food seasoning shelves.
Then I found something unexpected. This powder looks familiar.
"Vivian, what is this?" I asked while taking a bottle of spices.
"Oh? The powder was used to make cakes during tea parties. But the results are not very special. It's better to make a cake with your own recipe" explains Vivian.
"Cake powder?" I unscrewed the bottle and smelled it. The smell of milk spread in front of me. "Can't I taste it?" I hesitated while looking at Vivian.
"of course. We'll buy it then" Vivian replied lightly. It's not an expensive thing anyway.
I immediately poured the powder on my palm and tasted it. Tastes sweet. "It's from milk and sugar?" I asked again.
"Yes. We can make milk cakes with that." Vivian nodded.
This feeling is very familiar. It's not about the milk cake, but something else. It's just that I really don't remember right now.
"Alright, I'll think about it later." I put the bottle straight into the shopping cart.
A few minutes later, we both finished with two shopping baskets full on our way out of the store. We immediately put all our groceries into a dimensional space.
Okay, it's time to go home.
"Eva?"
suddenly someone called me.
I'm turning. "Sayn?"
And guess who I saw was next to Sayn, Reina....
In an instant my body and Vivian instantly shook.
