The next night, after closing the shop, Alme was in the kitchen facing the fruit.

There are some large grapes, oranges, and honey on the table. Also a wind magic blender and madeleine molds.

From now on, she will start making prototypes of popsicles. She had a blast at the dinner party yesterday, so she decided to make it right away.

“Okay, let’s start with the grapes.”

She adjusted her apron and picked up a bunch of red grapes.

Removing the grapes from the bunch while washing and cutting them in half. Removing the seeds and throwing them into the blender container. A final drizzle of honey was poured onto the pile of grapes.

With the lid firmly in place, she inserted the wind magic stone into the blender and activated it. The grapes, with their skins, are transformed into a smooth, tart juice.

She poured the resulting grape juice into the madeleine molds.

The madeleine molds are palm-sized and shaped like seashells. Since there are no molds for popsicles, she decided to use this one.

After the juice is poured into the mold, a spoon is dipped just at the head and placed gently in the mold. This is a substitute for a stick to hold it. She’d really like to have a wooden ice cream stick, but she can’t help what she doesn’t have…

The madeleine molds are made using a plate that can make ten at once. She lined up ten spoons and dipped them, then turned both hands to use ice magic.

Due to the small size of the mold, it hardened very quickly. Holding the handle of a spoon, she carefully removed it from the mold.

Grape popsicles are the result. The bright reddish-purple color and the shell shape is lovely.

“It looks like a lollipop candy. It would be more like a popsicle if it were longer and narrower.”

While looking at the completed prototype, she spoke to herself.

Since she just made it at random with what she had at home, the result was still a little different from what she had imagined.

Alme’s image is that of a popsicle she ate in a previous life. It is a long, thin, with a wooden stick that is eaten by holding it.

If she were to serve them in a shop, she would want to keep the size down and the price low, because she wanted to make it easy for children to buy them. In that case, this madeleine shape is a bit large.

It’s best to have a more elongated shape, more in line with a bar.

“I guess I’ll have to have the molds and sticks custom-made. I think I’ll ask the workshop that made my ice cream spoon to make them.”

The round ice cream spoon that she now uses to serve ice cream at the shop is a custom-made item. She ordered it just as she was about to develop tendonitis.

She asked a cooking tool workshop to make it so that she could scoop ice cream easily and neatly. It’s designed to send heat with a fire magic stone, and it’s a wonderful item that can scoop ice cream smoothly.

Alme will ask the same workshop to make popsicle molds and sticks.

Hmmm, she bit into a grape popsicle as she made plans in her mind. The refreshing sweetness is elegant and delicious.

“If it’s for kids, I wonder if it should be a little sweeter.”

While thinking about this and that, she ended up eating one.

She transferred the remaining grape juice from the blender to another container and washed it once. Next is the orange prototype.

Peeling the orange with a knife, she cut it in half and removed the seeds. Put them into the blender, separating the bunches, and drizzle them with a generous amount of honey.

Once the lid is on, she starts the blender to make orange juice. The yellow color is bright and beautiful.

The resulting orange juice is poured back into the madeleine mold. The popsicles are done when it is hardened with ice magic, accompanied by a spoon.

Lifting the orange popsicle she tasted it with a crunch. The sweetness and refreshing sourness are exquisite.

“Yes, they are delicious! If I were to put them in the shop, I’d like to increase the variety and make them more colorful. Also, I can’t leave out the character for “peri” on the stick.”

It was her experience in a previous life that it feels somewhat good to see the word “perishable” appear after eating an ice cream stick. She would like to adopt it for ice cream bars in this life.

I’m sure the kids will enjoy it too. And also to the priest who is a regular customer who loves ice cream.

She thought of Falk with a happy smile on his face as he ate his ice cream, and a warm smile appeared on her own face.

Order popsicle molds and sticks as soon as possible.

While eating the prototype, Alme left it on the edge of the table and reached out for a sky magic stone.

This was a magical replenishment work in progress.

While enjoying the ice cream, she used her free hand to finish the work with magic.

As for the magic replenishment side business, while working at the shop during the day, she’s doing it one by one in her spare time. Today’s work quota will end safely once this one is finished.

As soon as the ice cream was finished, the magic stone was also filled with ice magic. The sky magic stone, which had been transparent, turned an icy pale blue.

Bringing the packing box for the magic stones from the edge of the kitchen, she placed it on the table. When she used the key to open the lock, the light of the spirit danced.

Inside the box are two drawstring bags containing magic stones, one of which is embroidered with a spell that seals magic. She put the magic stones in this bag after enchanting them.

When she carefully put away the magic stones and closed the packing box and locked it up again, she thought to herself.

(I wondered if I could take another good look at the spirit Spriggan.)

The moment she signed the contract, she could see it for a moment, but it disappeared quickly. She was caught off guard that time, so she couldn’t take a very good look at it.

If she lived a normal life, she wouldn’t have many chances to see spirits, so she regretted not having the chance to do so.

Alme stared at the packing box and tried to speak.

“Mr. Spriggan, is there any way I can get you to come out again?”

There is no reply. Do the spirits not understand human language, or are they just ignoring humans?

After thinking about it, she picked up an orange popsicle. Thinking to get the spirit’s attention with it…

“Would you like to come out and have a popsicle? It’s delicious…”

When she jokingly said this, a flash of light danced on the tip of the popsicle as she approached the box. She jumped in surprise.

In the blink of an eye, she checked the popsicle in her hand. There was a small chip at the edge of the popsicle.

“Ah…did you eat it…!?”

She couldn’t see because of the flash of light, but it seems that the spirit ate it.

She felt kind of happy, as if it’s like a wild animal that takes food from her hand.

Deeply moved, she called out to the spirit again.

“Um, tomorrow I’ll give you milk ice cream.”

As if in response, the lights danced again. What a delightful exchange this is.

From now on. it seems that there will be more exchanges with her invisible housemate.
