111 – Sober Assessment and Covenant
‘What is it? Are there more types than you think? When did they come up with all these things?’
Various refreshments were placed in Maruti’s bowl. Desserts in black and white.
He brought a total of 6 desserts.
There are three types in total.
So, a pair of black and white desserts each had the same shape.
It seemed that there was a difference between the two flavors.
‘White chocolate? I hope that…… ?’
“Now, let’s start with Maruti and explain what they made. I don’t have much time, so keep it as short and concise as possible.”
While I was staring at Maruti’s dessert, Bennettrick stepped forward and evaluated it.
Benedict’s voice had been recalled from before. There was even a rare smile on her face.
It seems that the visuals of the desserts were satisfactory just by looking at them. Besides, as a person who enjoys delicious food, the very act of evaluating food must be exciting.
“Yes. What I prepared are desserts using milk chocolate and white chocolate.”
“Oh, it must have been white chocolate. Ordinary chocolate is handed out during worship, and even if you use the leftovers, is it still white chocolate? Were there any left?”
Benedict showed a bright color at Maruti’s explanation. Even dimples appear around the mouth.
“No.”
“I hope that means… ? Maruti, are you saying you made it yourself?”
“I came up with the idea, but my colleagues helped me a lot. And just in time, there was enough cocoa butter, so I was able to show off my humble skills.”
“Hmm, is that so?”
“I can proudly say that this is the best dessert I can make within a limited amount of time.”
“It’s a humble attitude, but I can feel the pride in dessert. That’s a good attitude.”
Maruti stiffly raises her head at Venetrick’s continuous praise of her and is proud.
White chocolate.
Variant of chocolate that does not contain cacao powder at all. White chocolate made from skim milk powder, cocoa butter, and sugar.
Since there was no original taste of chocolate, this was also a dessert that people liked and disliked quite a bit.
Of course, I expected it to be my landslide victory,
It wasn’t an opponent to look at lightly.
….
‘He wasn’t the best cook on the continent for nothing.’
It was definitely a dessert made with a good understanding of Benedict’s personality.
Feels like being hit in the back of the head.
Making a whole new chocolate,
For Benedict, who likes special things, this must be the most satisfying chocolate.
ㅡ Dalgrak… !
“There are many types. From the looks of it, everything else seems to have hardened chocolate into biscuits in a different way……. What is this?”
Bennettik asks a question while picking up white chocolate that looks like a quail egg on Maruti’s plate. It was a sphere-shaped dessert with white chocolate covering the surface.
“Try it. You will love it.”
“Hmm, good. I already picture the taste of other ordinary desserts in my head.”
ㅡOdodog… !
After that, Bennett took a bite of the sphere-shaped chocolate and ate it. The sound of something hard being bitten into the chocolate can be heard.
“Huh… ! There are almonds inside, right?”
“That’s right! As expected, if you were a professor, I thought you would guess it right away!”
Maruti claps his hands and pleases Benetrik. As if they had figured out some great special recipe.
“A really good combination. It’s not perfect, but the savory taste of the almonds somewhat counteracts the greasiness of the chocolate. Ummm… ! Not bad!”
As soon as you taste Maruti’s dessert, praise immediately follows. That too, while maintaining a very satisfied expression.
“… ….”
This kind of reaction makes me anxious.
I wonder if I underestimated Maruti too much.
That’s right, I only prepared one.
“Now, breeder? What have you prepared?”
After tasting all the white chocolate with almonds, Bennettrick approaches you. She was trying her best, rinsing her mouth out with bottled water to taste her next dessert.
“I prepared a chocolate pie.”
“Chocolate pie?”
“Yes, as you can see, I coated the pie with chocolate. It is also a snack I enjoy eating with a devout heart after paying pilgrimage in my hometown.”
“What? Is that for real?”
“Yes. Some even ate it to tears in admiration for its taste.”
“Ha, that’s enough for bluffing… …. You mean you finished the dough and baking in that short amount of time?”
Bennettrick turns his attention to my dessert with a look of amazement. Bennettrick indifferently scans the chocolate pies spread across the kitchen table.
“Yes, as you saw earlier… It was only possible thanks to the help of the ladies.”
“I guess so. It’s not something I can handle alone……. Anyway, good job.”
“That’s too much praise.”
“Anyway, I can’t help but look forward to this time.”
ㅡ Bang!
She snatched her pie from her plate with her clumsy hands.
“From the outside, it looks like just hardened chocolate on the outside……. Given the name Pie, it must mean there is something more in it, right?”
“Yes, it is.”
“Then where… ….”
Bennett took a close look at the chocolate pie, then took it straight to his mouth without a word. First of all, the appearance seemed to pass.
‘Please, it should suit your taste…’ ….’
Actually, taste evaluation is very subjective.
Everything depended on Benedict’s heart.
Perhaps, apart from the taste, he would deliberately raise Maruti’s hand to pamper me.
Could it be that he decided to win or lose from the beginning? I’m playing there right now…… ?
“Haap—!”
When I belatedly realized the absurd structure of this confrontation, Bennett had already taken a big bite of the chocolate pie.
If it was really a ploy to pamper me, I would criticize it as soon as I tasted it…….
“Boo, is it soft and sweet?!”
“…… ?”
However, the first words Benedict uttered were mixed reactions of exclamations.
“… Oh, what’s inside?! It’s just cream, right? It’s really not that ordinary……. Is it still so delicious? It looks like a small, miniature chocolate cake…….”
Benedict reacts with his always sharp eyes wide open.
There was sincerity in her eyes.
Expressing surprise without lies.
Much more than when I ate Maruti’s.
Even she kept muttering, examining her amputation carefully.
You must have wondered what was inside to make it so soft.
‘Did you like it… ? Phew, that’s good.’
It was a reaction that wasn’t bad enough to overshadow the anxiety I had just a moment ago.
Is this enough to be expected?
But he doesn’t faint like last time.
Is it because it is a normal dessert?
“Hey, Breeder? What did you hear inside? I don’t think it’s just cream, right?”
“Whipped cream.”
“Whipped cream?”
“Yes. I didn’t put anything different. It’s just a little bit more sugar.”
“Really? But how does this taste……. And how can chocolate be so cold in the first place?”
Benetric asked, running her fingers over the outside of her chocolate pie. The surface of the cold chocolate was a strange shape.
“Oh, that’s with Miss Sonya’s help…….”
“What? Sonya? Is that picky kid helping you?”
“Yes, it is.”
“That is a strange thing. A child who had no interest in other races was only helping for humans… ? Are your words true?”
“Of course. You can also ask yourself.”
“Anyway, whatever is good. Thanks to the cold chocolate, the texture is interesting, and the sweet flavor is enhanced with each bite. It’s ordinary, but it tastes faithful to the basics.”
ㅡFilter… ….
Even after the evaluation, Bennett continues to savor the pie. It was a different look from when I was just dealing with Maruti’s dessert.
ㅡside… !
Even after eating all the pies,
He even sucks the chocolate off his hands.
An appearance where no grace can be found as a dragon.
It was clear that she liked the creamy chocolate pie I prepared.
“I… professor? Did you like it?”
“Ah, yes. Look at my mind We will decide the winner right here.”
Bennett hurriedly removed his finger from my question. Benedict, who came to his senses belatedly, walked around me and Maruti, taking a break.
And that was when it circled us about two times.
“First of all, Maruti?”
“Yes, Professor.”
“I highly appreciate your skillful cooking skills.”
“Thank you, professor… ! Then, after all, I win—”
“Listen to the end.”
“Ah, yes… ….”
“To think they even prepared a dessert that suits my taste, the composition is great. But that’s it.”
“Yes? What do you mean by that…… ?”
Maruti flicks her thin tongue with an expression of incomprehension.
Of course, I was the same.
Until recently, I only thought I had lost.
But I thought there would have been more to evaluate.
“Today’s tea party is for children. It is a victory for a breeder who considers everyone’s taste rather than just my own.”
“Ah… ? Is that really true?”
Suddenly, Bennett turned to me and raised my hand.
It was a really unexpected result.
So, without realizing it, I ask myself again.
Because I didn’t expect to choose the popular taste.
“What was the reaction? Actually, did you want to come up every week and promote meals?”
“Oh, no! I just can’t believe it…….”
“Hmph, I hate to admit it, but it tastes great. Besides, if I ate this as it was, it would have only felt very sweet, but since I ate it cold, it wasn’t too much and it was just right. I think the students will like it.”
A fairly objective evaluation follows.
The result of considering everyone’s taste…….
Due to Bennett’s personality, he only knew how to make decisions in his favor.
But she recognized my skills very neatly.
“Thank you for noticing!”
Bennettrick is always sincere when it comes to gourmet food.
Come to think of it, it was the same with the pizza incident.
She was quite cool when it comes to food.
Is it like pride as a gourmet?
Anyway, thanks to that, I was able to be freed from promoting meals next week.
Of course, it was a condition that she had to attend the filthy sleepy shrine, but that’s it, if she handled her head well, she might be able to get out like today and enjoy her leisure time.
ㅡ Flutter!
“That, it can’t be… ! My, I lost to a human…… ???”
On the other hand, Maruti didn’t know how to admit it.
She denied the reality, saying that she couldn’t be.
As a successful chef, his pride must have been cracked.
“Maruti? If you’re so indulgent, you should try it too. Then you will admit it right away.”
“Keuugh! Uh, i don’t like that…… !”
“Tsk, you seem like an immature, short-lived species.”
Maruti sat down on her floor and chose her escape. She’s like a lizard cutting off her tail and running away.
His face was flushed red with boiling anger. Maybe it was because he was in front of Bennett, but he didn’t seem to be able to express his feelings.
“… Breeder by the way?”
She clicked her tongue at the sight of Maruti who couldn’t admit her victory in the end, but she looked at me.
“Yes? Why?”
“Before sending this to the tea party, there is one thing I need to promise to you.”
“Yes? A promise?”
Bennett is the first to set the mood with a serious face.
“Yes. Listen and judge.”
What is it all of a sudden?
A sudden promise?
You’re not talking about an oath, are you?
Recommend a teaching assistant…….
‘The person who refused to communicate with in the first place, can it be possible?’
