Chapter 133

I, who carried the Kaoka pods decided to immediately borrow an area in the Ruven House’s kitchen.

「N~ the processing of Cacao, huh~……」

I don’t exactly know the correct way to make chocolate from cacao beans.

I have received five Kaoka pods in total from Stefan-san.

「I have to a.s.sume that I’m going to waste one or two of them……」

The process that comes to mind first is to roast and grind them?

Even if there are more fine details to the process, I can’t be sure that Earth-san’s Cacao beans are the same as Aetherdisan’s Kaoka beans.

「Let’s open them first?」

I can’t progress without seeing the contents of the Kaoka first. While I was thinking such, Allen and Elena shook with the Kaoka.

「This, it rattle, rattles~」

「Amu~sing!」

A rattling sound resounded from the pods when shaken, almost like Maracas.

「Allen, Elena, you look like you are having fun, but it’s still food, so let’s not play with it, okay?」

「「Can’t play~?」」

「I would like if you didn’t~」

「「…… N~ got it~」」

When I amiably cautioned them, Allen and Elena obediently returned the Kaoka pods.

「Thank you. Well then, let’s open it」

「「Un」」

Then, opening one of the Kaoka pods, many 500 yen coin brown beans were packed inside. There’s about thirty to forty of them. N~ were Cacao beans like this?

To be honest, I have no recollection…… no, I feel like it was wrapped in something white? They are normally lined up in the pod, aren’t they? But, the beans are just casually scattered around the Kaoka pod. No wonder it rattles when shaken~

Well, let’s wash it and make it clean first.

「《Washing》」

I cleaned the beans with magic and started processing them right away.

「This is, a sh.e.l.l…… right?」

I realized that the brown outer layer is a sh.e.l.l and the black nib inside is what I want.

I pinched the sh.e.l.l between my fingers and crisply peeled it off. I tried bitting the bit I peeled off just in case, but it was a sh.e.l.l after all.

「「Munch」」

「Ah!」

「「Ngu」」

Allen and Elena imitated me and placed the sh.e.l.ls in their mouths. Only, unlike me who just took a bite, the children were intending to eat it!

「Allen, Elena! That’s not for eating, quickly spit it out!」

I urged them to spit it out in panic.

「「Not de~lish」」

Ueh~ Allen and Elena grimaced after spitting out the sh.e.l.ls.

Though I am at fault for putting it in my mouth in front of the two――

「Geez~ Your Oniichan has just taken a bite, it’s not like I ate it~」

「「Uu~ but~」」

「I will properly give the delicious thing to Allen and Elena, so don’t try to eat out of your own accord anymore, okay?」

「「…… Yesss~」」

As it really wasn’t good at all, the two replied dejectedly.

「Err, what…… do I do next? Do I roast it after all?」
