Chapter 121

After introducing me to the bread makers, we finally started making the bread.

The bread dough was properly prepared, so I decided to make custard cream and bean paste for it as soon as possible.

「Something like this…… what do you think?」

Today, it’s not only the Tsuban, but I made Koshian as well and when I had Carl-san and others behind me taste it and confirm whether they grasped the method of making it――

「…… I have learned very much」

Carl-san said with a furrowed glabella.

It was an answer that didn’t have any problems when considering only the words, but…… it doesn’t match his facial expression. Is he worried about something?

「He, head chef! If you are admiring and won’t make an appropriate expression, Tak.u.mi-sama will misunderstand! ―― I’m sorry, Tak.u.mi-sama! Even though he might look like this, Head Chef is very impressed with this cream and the new recipe of the red beans!」

「Eh!? Is that so?」

「Wha!! You did misunderstand after all!?」

That’s right. As Wagner-san said, I didn’t see it at all~ I see, so that was an expression of admiration, huh……

「「Steamy~?」」

At that time, Allen pointed at Carl-san and Elena squinted her eyes while looking at top of his head.

From the children’s cheerful att.i.tude, there’s no doubt that Carl-san is a good person~ Rather, the two are unexpectedly aggressive when it comes to Carl-san. In the tsukkomi way of meaning…

「See, Head Chef! Even the children misunderstood!!」

At the children’s actions, Wagner-san approached Carl-san in panic.

「T, that’s……」

With his words choked, Carl-san looked at Wagner-san, me, and the children in turns.

「「Nii~」」

The children whom Carl-san was watching lifted their cheeks with their index fingers and pressed Carl-san to smile.

「…… Ni~?」

The honest Carl-san then made a smiling face by raising the corners of his mouth.

「「―― Puh」」

Seeing Carl-san’s actions, Wagner-san and I unintentionally burst into laughter.

Turning their heads away to not look into his face, the bread makers started shaking in laughter as well.

Allen and Elena nodded in satisfaction while looking at Carl-san as his face turned bright red.

「F, first of all, why doesn’t everyone try making the custard cream and bean paste?」

「L, let’s do that」

When I suggested continuing the bread making in order to change the awkward atmosphere, Wagner-san promptly agreed and we resumed working.

「Tak.u.mi-sama, that is?」

「N? Ahh, this is Shiroan and sweet potato paste. Red bean paste’s a.s.sociates, you could say?」

While trying Carl-san and others in making the custard cream and red bean paste, I made Shiroan from white beans and a paste from sweet potato-like vegetable, making something similar to Satsumaimo paste.

Then, Wagner-san noticed and asked curiously.

「White beans and sweet potatoes…… is it?」

「Yes. I thought of putting this in the bread also」

「A new thing after another…… Tak.u.mi-sama, you really are amazing, aren’t you?」

「You think so? I thought they would match nicely, so I gave it a try. Wagner-san, you can come up with something too, right?」
