âT, thereâs no mochi!?â
After sending the Red Wheat, I, the Wind God Sylphreel, was waiting for Takumi-sanâs response with excitement.
However, what Takumi-san sent me back was not mochi made from Red Wheat, but desserts called crepes. No, itâs not like I donât like these crepes. They look very delicious so I am very happy about receiving them.
However, what the Creation God, Marianora-sama wanted to eat was mochi, you know~
âNo, Iâm sure Marianora-sama will be happy about these crepes, too!â
âWhat is it~?â
â!!â
Suddenly hearing Marianora-samaâs voice from behind me, I got so surprised my body froze in place.
âSylphreel, you called for me just now, no? Oh my! Is this perhaps!?â
âTa, Takumi-san sent me this just now. They are desserts called crepes.â
âI see! So they are crepes, after all! I wonder what they are filled with?â
âErm⦠berries, custard, and chocolate, if Iâm not mistaken.â
âMy, oh my! My favorite is choco-banana with fresh cream, but this combination also sounds delicious!â
Marianora-sama discovered the crepes and her eyes started sparkling. Oh, great. It seems that even crepes are okay!
âHe sent enough for everyone, so letâs call Salamanteel and Nomoodle over.â
âSure!ââMm, both will be coming soon.â
âThank you very much.ââWell then, Vint, prepare some tea for us.â
âUnderstood.â
Marianora-sama contacted the Fire God Salamanteel and Earth God Nomoodle via telepathy. Seeing her quickly take a seat on a chair by a table she created herself with a full smile, I immediately told Vint to prepare drinks for us.
âIâm here~â
âHave you called, Marianora-sama?â
Salamanteel and Nomoodle arrived before Vint prepared tea. Too fast.
Well, itâs Marianora-sama who called them, so they treated it as their top priority, I guess.
âOh, is this perhaps food that Takumi sent?â
âThatâs something I havenât seen before once again. Iâm looking forward to it.â
Salamanteel and Nomoodle took seats, looking very fidgety.
They have also been captivated by the variety of foods Takumi-san sends, after all~
Well, the same goes for me, though!
âI am sorry to have kept you waiting.â
âHere it is! Okay, letâs quickly dig in!â
The tea we were waiting for arrived, so we immediately started eating the crepes.
âN~~~! So delicious~ As expected of Takumi-san.â
âOhh~ yummy! Syl, whatâs this called?â
âThey are called crepes. And yes, they are truly delicious!â
âSo they are crepes, huh. Sweet and sour fruits go well with the sweet cream.â
All the food that Takumi-san makes is really delicious.
Of course, Marianora-sama, Salamanteel and Nomoodle were eating with relish.
âFufu.â
While I was enjoying the crepe, Marianora-sama let out a modest laugh.
âWhatâs the matter, Marianora-sama?â
âItâs not like we are on bad terms, but we donât often drink tea together like this, right~â
âCome to think of it⦠thatâs right.â
âIndeed. The only times we saw each other was for work-related matters, after all~â
âYes, only when we need something from the other at that.â
I was startled by Marianora-samaâs words. Itâs certainly true that we donât normally relax together like thisâ¦
Salamanteel and Nomoodle who just noticed that, were also surprised.
âSee, isnât that right? Thatâs I was thinking that this is also quite nice~ Fufu, this is also thanks to Takumi-san, isnât it~â
Marianora-sama smiled happily.
But, you could indeed say it like that. Was it not for Takumi-sanâs food, I donât think we would have gathered like this before?
âBut itâs unfortunate that Windell is not present.â
However, the expressions of us three changed completely with Marianora-samaâs next remark.
Indeed. Because the Water God Windell is not present, you canât really say that we all gathered! We are missing a compatriot who said he was leaving on a honeymoon to who knows where! Why is there not even a word from him!?
â⦠I really wonder where Windell is wandering now~~~â
âWindell is freer than anyone, after all!â
âIs that really something you should be saying, Salamanteel?â
I must be making a bitter face now. Salamanteel looked amused and Nomoodle was making a disappointed face.
âThat child has a free-spirited disposition, after all~â
âMarianora-sama! Please donât just scold him when he returns, but give him a proper punishment. Even though it doesnât look like it, we are still bothering Takumi-san with the mess he made!â
âEhh~ but we are able to eat the leftovers thanks to that~â
âEh?â
âLook, we can eat delicious things like these only because Takumi-san is taking care of the children, no? Thatâs why I canât be too harsh on Windell~â
ââ¦â¦â
That might be true? No, but, even so, Takumi-san is my retainer, so this would happen even if he wasnât taking care of the children⦠right?
âT, this and that are different stories.â
âWell, whatever we do will happen only after Windell returns, right?â
âThatâs right, we also need to hear what Windell has to say for himself, after all.â
âThatâs true, but~~~â
Ugh~~~ Salamanteel and Nomoodle arenât directly related, so they can be nonchalant about this.
âItâs fine, Sylphreel. I will think about it properly.
âAll we have to do is to provide all the support we can. By the way, what ingredients are needed to make this crepe?â
âErm⦠he didnât use any particularly rare ingredients, I believe.â
⦠Nomoodle? Are you thinking of sending him ingredients to make crepes again?
âNana fruit! And also fresh cream! Milk with lots of fat!â
âNana fruit, is it? Marianora-sama, there are no Nana fruits in these crepes, no?â
âNope! But you can enjoy all kinds of flavors with crepes, just like with ice cream! And choco-banana reigns supreme among crepe flavors! That and Nana fruit with fresh cream!â
âI see, I am really curious now.â
⦠Does this mean I have to ask Takumi-san to send me chocolate-banana crepes?
âââSylphreel.âââ
The three looked at me all at once.
⦠As I thought.
âãâãâ
â!!â
The day after we ate the crepes, Takumi-san sent me some mochi.
I had expected it to take a while for Takumi-san to send me mochi since I just received the crepes from him, but he sent it the very next day! It was a happy miscalculation. Moreover, he made sure that I can enjoy various flavors!
âLetâs tell everyone at onc⦠no, wait?â
I think we should put off eating this mochi for a while longer. I mean, I donât know when Takumi-san will send us food again.
I can also play this hidden card when everyone will look at me with faces that say âIs it still not the time yet?â.
âSylphreel?â
âWhoah!!â
âSylphreel, you cannot.â
I heard Marianora-samaâs voice from behind me, causing me to shudder.
âI wonât get angry with you since you werenât trying to monopolize it, but you shouldnât do that either.â
âIâm so sorry~~~â
Marianora-sama smiled at me, as if she knew exactly what I was thinking.
When it comes to sweets, thereâs nothing that can escape Marianora-samaâs sight, after all~
âI am glad you understand~â
That being the case, Takumi-san, I ate the mochi deliciously with everyone right away.
They were really yummy!
