Short Story 01: Valentines (Research Institute)

I put butter, sugar, egg, flour and the most important ingredient into a bowl and mixed.

Of course, I didn’t mix them all at once.

I mixed the ingredients in order, according to the recipe that I’d remembered from my time in Japan.

A lot of people mess up because they don’t follow the measurements and steps while making sweets. 

 

When I came to this world, I surprised people when I made food with medicinal herbs or the so-called herbs, but the ingredients I’m using to make this sweet is also used for medicine.

In my world, the ingredient, cocoa, was also used in medicines for longevity. 

It was one of the ingredients for chocolate. 

Chocolate is sold at the Royal Capital, and I was happy when I found it. 

Since they had so much chocolate for sale, I started searching and found some cocoa. 

Today, I’m going to make brownies with cocoa.

 

Seasons have passed since I’ve been summoned.

And it should be February in Japan.

I wanted to make some sweets with chocolate when I remembered this.

I didn’t have a boyfriend when I was a student, but I made chocolate sweets every year to give to friends.

 

I poured the mixture into moulds and put it in the oven. Now, time to wait.

I read a book while waiting.

Then, a sweet smell tingled my nose when I was immersed in my book.

It should be done soon.

I thought, then opened the oven. It was baked nicely.

“What’re you making today?”

When I took the brownies out of the oven and put them on a table to cool, Jude came; probably because he was lured by the smell.

Apparently, this was his first time seeing baked sweets made from chocolate. He tilted his head in curiosity.

“Did you burn it?”

“Nope, it’s supposed to be this colour.”

“Oh?”

It certainly does look burnt if someone has never seen brownies before.

No, but you should be able to tell from the smell.

“It looks like you messed up.”

“I won’t give you any if you say that.”

“I’m joking. Sorry,” Jude quickly apologised when I told him I wasn’t giving him any.

Jude really likes sweets.

So much so, that he’s the first researcher to come taste my food whenever I cook.

But, the people who taste it first are actually the chefs who cook with me.

I think it tastes better if it cools down, but there is someone here who can’t wait to try it in front of me, so I cut off bite-size slices from the edge.

It looks delicious, but how does it taste?

I put a piece in my mouth, and it was as delicious as it was in the past.

“Do you want to try some?”

There were no chefs here because I baked by myself today.

I wanted to hear someone else’s opinion, so I asked Jude, and he nodded happily.

I tried to find a small plate so I could give him a piece, but he couldn’t wait and opened his mouth.

Huh? What?

Are you telling me to put it in your mouth?

Fine then. I smiled wryly and put a piece in his mouth.

Jude smiled after he’d chewed a bit.

“Tasty?” I asked, and he nodded in reply.

I’m glad you like it.

Then, Director showed up.

“Ooh, you’re making something today too.”

“It’s not finished yet, but do you want to try some?”

“Sure.”

Director was also one of my regular food tasters.

Director laughed when I put a piece on a small plate for him.

“Aren’t you going to feed it to me?”

“Wait, you saw that?”

My face turned red as blood rushed to my face from embarrassment.

He told me that he arrived when I was feeding Jude the brownie.

He said he just watched us because he thought it would be rude to interrupt.

Still, he should have pretended that he didn’t see anything!

I thought and glared at Director. He laughed and patted my head.
