I chose the milk type for the trial dessert . Because it would look lonely just on its own, I dished it up with fruits .

「Hou… this jiggly texture is nice」
「This white is… milk? I can indeed feel milk in the taste, but… it can harden to this shape too, huh…」

Otousama ate silently while Prince Ray and Oniisama expressed many impressions .
… You are eating at abnormal speeds, but there are no seconds for you, alright??

「This is made from agar which comes from seaweed . It will take on such texture when you heat it until dissolved and harden . I used milk and sugar for these desserts, but it also has many more uses, so I think of experimenting from now on」

No, I already made lots .

「Hee… by seaweed, you mean the ones growing in sea, right? The sea is really salty, but I can’t feel that from this at all」

Prince Ray said in wonder .

「Yes, I don’t understand it in detail, the salt is removed from the seaweed during the agar making process . Agar itself doesn’t have a taste, but it’s mainly made for the enjoyment of the texture」
「Hee…」
「Cristea, seconds please…」
「Otousama, I’m sorry, but there are no another helpings」
「T, that so…」

Otousama became dejected .

Otousama is unexpectedly fond of sweets, huh…
It looks like he might eat the whole youkan if I were to give it to him… I have to be careful .
I don’t want to see Otousama grow sideways because of overeating .

Now that I recall how I have forgotten myself and nearly overate during the sampling, we really are a parent and a child, aren’t we…

While enjoying the after meal tea, Prince Ray was looking at me restlessly .
What is it? Does he want more sweets…?

「Miss Cristea, I got a souvenir for you while on today’s inspection」
「Eh?」

He signalled his servant who brought over a large jar .

「It’s my thanks for the delicious meals . I heard you were searching for this in the Bastea Company so I bought it for you」

T, this is, surely not…

「I wasn’t aware that Miss Cristea already obtained some, so I was surprised at the dinner, but… I bought everything they had, so please use it to your heart’s content」

It really is umebos.h.i.+~!
What… I thought he wanted to bring it to the royal palace as a souvenir… ugh, even though Prince Ray bought it all, I planned to do it myself…

「Such precious article, I can’t accept it…」

Something like a present from Prince Ray, I’m too scared to accept it~ I don’t know what I might be demanded in return after all .

「N, no! Only Miss Cristea can make a use of this! I want you to receive it as my thanks for your hospitality!」

Prince Ray who thought Cristea would accept it with a delight panicked when she refused as his plan failed .

Eh~… how troublesome . Umebos.h.i.+ are certainly attractive, but… I feel like I will get troubled after receiving it .

「Cristea, accept it」
「Otousama?」
「Prince Ray is giving it you ONLY as thanks for your hospitality . It’s like the ruler rewarding his retainer . Accept it . Isn’t that right? Prince Ray?」
「Eh? Ah, yeah… that’s right . Please accept it」

Hmm .  You did well, here’s your reward! Is it that kind of thing?
Otousama is saying so too, well, I will accept it in that case…

「Then, I will gratefully accept it」
「Y, yeah…」

Yay, Umebos.h.i.+ in large quanity obtained!
I made a profit~! When I thanked with a whole-faced smile, the disheartened Prince Ray turned red and mumbled . Nn?
