Chapter 885 The Last Daily Life 64
Xiao Lin didn't care about this little thing. He knew that someone was willing to make chocolate and give it to him, which was already a favor. So, Xiao Lin was very moved and said:
"...Thank you! I will make sure I have enough space in my stomach so I can eat all the chocolates!"
"Okay, okay." Aqua spread her hands casually, and said with a hint of helplessness and disgust: "It's okay if you want to look forward to it, but don't eat too much chocolate, or you'll get a stomachache."
“Ahahahaha!” Xiao Lin laughed out loud, and waved his hands nonchalantly, saying, “How could he get a stomachache from eating chocolate? At this point, is there still such a person? It’s impossible no matter how you think about it!”
“…That’s true.” Aqua nodded, seeming to agree with Kobayashi’s point of view, and said to Wiz and the others, “Then let’s go out and buy the ingredients for making chocolate. Kobayashi, I’ll leave the house to you.”
"Oh, leave it to me!"
Kobayashi agreed decisively and looked forward to the chocolates that they would make for him.
Aqua and the others decided to make chocolates for Kobayashi, so they went out to purchase materials. On the way to buy materials, they also talked about this matter.
Wiz said with a gentle smile, "Mr. Kobayashi, you look very excited."
"Seeing how excited he is, I feel motivated too." Lynn also said, "Remembering that Dust also asked for chocolate before, but I brushed him off. Well, this time I have a chance, so I'll try a little harder."
"That's right." Aqua nodded seriously and said, "This is a rare opportunity. Let's make a super luxurious chocolate and give Xiaolin a big surprise."
"If Aqua says that, it feels like she will really make a piece of chocolate that is like a work of art."
Huihui was a little uneasy. After all, Aqua did a great job in everything except her job. She might be able to make a super chocolate that would shock the world.
"Hearing what you said, even I am curious about what kind of chocolate she will make..." Lynn also became slightly afraid, but then turned around and said, "Anyway, let's go buy the ingredients first, and then decide what kind of chocolate to make--"
"please!"
Before Lynn could finish her words, she heard a very familiar voice coming from not far away. The voice of the young girl, who had a tender and soft voice, was filled with some pleading and uneasiness.
"One is enough. Please let me buy some skewers!"
"No. Didn't you just buy some snacks from another vendor?"
The woman following the girl was wearing a long brown-grey robe. Although it was not very clear, she was wearing armor-like equipment inside. The long sword at her waist could not be concealed at all. However, she did show that she was not easy to mess with and made others afraid of her.
Darkness was slightly stunned when she saw the two of them, muttering, “That’s… No way, how could they be here…?”
The familiar master and servant duo made her feel incredible.
“Those two people look familiar, don’t they? Could they be people we know?” Huihui also became curious. She pinched her white chin and said, “…Ah, they found us and ran over to us.”
The master and servant in the distance quickened their pace and walked towards them. As they approached, the familiar feeling became stronger. It was not until the other party took the initiative to speak that they knew who it was.
"Lalatina!" The girl spoke first, with a look of joy at meeting someone after a long separation. She then looked at Aqua and the others and said hello, "And everyone, hello!"
“Elise, your highness…!”
The female knight following behind her hurriedly caught up with her, and while holding the girl in her arms, she complained with a little dissatisfaction: "Please don't run away so suddenly! We are here to travel incognito...!"
"Oh! I'm sorry, Claire..."
The girl... no, the princess of the kingdom named Alice, bowed her head deeply with apology and uneasiness.
“Your Highness Alice!?” Darkness subconsciously screamed when she saw who it was, and at the same time exclaimed, “Why are you in Axel?”
The one who answered her question was Claire herself, the guard. She stood in front of her and said, "Her Highness Alice is on a business trip to another place, and she said she wanted to visit Axel on her way back."
“That’s right! Because there are so many delicious foods here!… Strange?” Princess Alice said happily, but after looking at Darkness and the others, she asked with some confusion and surprise: “Brother, aren’t you with you today?”
"Xiao Lin is at home looking after the family! Actually... this is what happened, this is what happened."
Aqua told Alice what had just happened and successfully aroused the interest of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
"Giving chocolates to the opposite sex..." Alice fell into deep thought, and then said with some surprise: "It turns out that there is such a custom in my brother's hometown. It's really unexpected!"
"It's really fun to convey your thoughts to others along with chocolates." Claire seemed very interested in this custom.
"I think this is a great idea!" Alice said happily, "I also want to give Valentine's Day chocolates to my brother...!"
At the same time, she was secretly observing Claire's reaction. After all, she was traveling incognito now, and as Her Royal Highness the Princess, it was completely willful for her to make such a request. If Claire disagreed, there was nothing she could do.
Wiz, who was not cunning, said happily, “In that case, would you like to join us, Princess Alice? We are just about to go buy the materials…”
"If it won't bother you, please let me join!"
"Can't!"
Just when Alice was about to agree excitedly, Claire stopped her loudly as expected. She firmly refused to make the chocolate this time and spoke in a harsh voice.
"How can we let Her Highness Alice cook? If she gets hurt...!"
"It won't hurt, it's just making chocolate, isn't it too exaggerated?"
Huihui couldn’t help but say this.
The guard was making a fuss out of nothing. The little girl wondered whether she should say that she was being loyal or that she was making a fuss out of nothing.
"How could there be any problem with something as simple and unusual as chocolate? Besides, it's not like the nobles can't cook. This kind of opportunity to gain experience is very rare."
"Please, Claire...can't I?"
Huihui was right. Alice was very excited. Besides, it was also good to gain experience. Alice's big eyes had a pleading look. She tried to use her cuteness to make Claire give in. However, the guard was too stubborn.
"Hmm..." Claire swallowed, she closed her eyes and said ruthlessly: "Even if it's your request, no means no!"
It can be seen from the fact that they did not allow Alice to buy more skewers just now that they would absolutely not allow anything that might cause Alice to get hurt or poisoned, and there would be no wiggle room at all.
"That's true." Alice lowered her head in disappointment. She said with a little hurt: "I'm sorry, I was too willful. I wanted to make some chocolate for Claire as well, to thank you for your usual care... Since Claire doesn't agree, then there's nothing I can do..."
She said, watching Claire's reaction.
"Is there a share for me too!?"
Claire immediately became excited, and then pretended to be helpless and said: "There's really nothing I can do... Princess Alice has said so, it's really not good for me to refuse firmly. Okay, just this once!"
The tactic of retreating in order to advance is really a tried and true tactic. Even the stubborn palace guards who were a headache for them finally gave in.
"Thank you, Claire!" Alice said happily, then looked at Aqua and the others and said with a smile: "Well, I'll look forward to your guidance from now on!"
“Thank you for your guidance, Alice!” Aqua hugged Alice in her arms, acting like a big sister and a little gangster, and said confidently, “Let’s make chocolate together to surprise Xiaolin!”
“——Let’s do it! Come on, come on, come on——!!!”
“Come on… Hey, big sis!?”
Huihui was startled by the sudden appearance of another person. When she saw who it was, she asked in surprise, "Big sister, when did you come...? In other words, what is that thing you are holding in your hand?"
The person who came was Cecily, who had just separated from Xiaolin in the Adventurer's Guild bar. She had just returned from somewhere else and was about to return home with her spoils.
"Actually, I just caught something." Cecily didn't tell him directly, but raised the black net bag in her hand and said this mysteriously, and then continued: "By the way, if you want to make chocolate, can I join in?"
"Of course you're welcome!" Aqua gave a thumbs up and said approvingly, "And the more people there are, the happier we'll be!"
I have no idea where she got this conclusion from, but from a certain perspective, the more people there are, the happier they will be... in another sense.
“Thank you, Lady Aqua!” Cecily smiled happily, then revealed a sinister smile and whispered: “Hehehe… This way, it will save a lot of trouble.”
"save trouble……?"
Lynn, who was standing next to her and heard this, repeated it with some confusion.
“Ah, no!” Cecily waved her hands quickly to indicate that she was harmless, and said, “Please pretend I didn’t say anything! Let’s make delicious chocolate together!”
No, no, no, I can't just pretend I didn't hear it at this time, can I? But it shouldn't be a big deal, right? Lynn didn't want to spoil the fun of Aqua and the others at this time, and Cecily didn't want to cause trouble, so she put the matter behind her.
Huihui looked at the growing crowd and couldn't help but sigh, saying, "Before I knew it, the number of people has increased. Now there are seven people who want to participate. What kind of chocolate will be made in the end?"
“So many people making chocolate together…” Alice became even more interested. She said with a smile, “I’m so looking forward to it!”
"Okay, let's buy the materials quickly and go home!"
Aqua said happily.
……
...
“——Why did it become like this?!!!”
evening.
Aqua's aggrieved screams were heard from the kitchen. She seemed unable to accept such a scene. Her tears were gushing out and sprayed everywhere. She was completely different from the confident her during the day when she was ready to make good chocolate.
“Aqua-sama, Aqua-sama…! Please stop crying!”
The one who comforted her was Wiz. In addition to the fact that Aqua had an absolute purifying effect on liquids, the flying tears would seriously hurt her, so she could only continue to comfort her.
“But, but!” Aqua couldn’t stop crying. She hugged Wiz and threw him into her arms, crying bitterly, “If we’re not careful, the whipped cream will turn into water!”
“Aqua-sama!” Wiz also started to cry out. “Ahhh, please don’t use my robe to wipe your tears! My body is going to feel tingling and numb…! I’m going to ascend to heaven, I’m really going to ascend to heaven!”
"Well, if we continue like this, we won't be able to continue making chocolate..."
Lynn looked at the "tragedy" in the kitchen and subconsciously said so... It was not the messy and indescribable garbage that she had imagined, but it was all white, clean and tidy! But, what a pity! Chocolate is originally a brown, almost black, concrete-like substance. If she continued like this, she would not be able to make chocolate.
“There’s really nothing we can do about it.” Megumin also sighed and gestured to her companion beside her: “Darkness, please take Aqua out of the kitchen first.”
She decisively eliminated another companion who was making trouble in the kitchen. It must be said that she was a little ruthless.
“That’s true.” Darkness agreed to the request straightforwardly, and then took the initiative to comfort Aqua, saying, “Come on, Aqua, let’s go outside and rest for a while.”
Afraid that Aqua would not agree, she tried to seduce the stupid goddess with other things.
"Actually, I brought a special one from home. Do you want to drink it together?"
Apparently, it's bubbly.
If it was the previous Aqua, she would definitely make a fuss and ask to stay, but with the bubble wine, it was a different story. She said happily, "It's the one I talked about before, right? I want to drink it, let's drink it together!"
