“You didn’t even check the blade before using it? Huh~ ♡ Take a closer look?!”
At first, I wanted to say something else.
Telling me to reveal my identity,
Have you ever learned swordsmanship…….
Because I just kept saying things I didn’t understand.
“Huh? Ka, what is this blade? But just how…… ?”
However, it was only when the blade of the middle esophageal knife came into sight that I began to understand what Eros said.
The condition of the blade is not good.
It wasn’t so bad as to be noticed,
If you look closely, you can see that there are sparse teeth missing.
Under normal circumstances, peeling an apple would not be an easy task. However, I managed to cleanly cut the dango fruit and the peel of the drill apple with a knife like this.
Was it just luck?
Or is this knife special?
I can’t believe it easily even after I cut it.
“Huh~? What was the reaction? You really didn’t know?”
“Yes, not at all… ….”
“What is that? Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?”
“It’s not like acting. I was surprised too.”
“Kukuk-♡ Actually, it would be more appropriate for a teacher to be a mediocre. This goofy look is even more attractive~♡”
Eros looks up at my face.
With a face full of playfulness.
Seeing that guy’s Betsy smiling face, true education might be required again.
“Ha, are other knives different?”
I deliberately ignored Eros’ provocation.
Then he turned his gaze and picked up another knife.
It was to test the absurd cutting power.
“Huh~? Stupid teacher! Are you ignoring me now?!”
“… ….”
I didn’t bother to answer.
Because if you react, there will be no end.
And I’m quite used to it after listening to it over and over again.
Now, to what extent have you developed resistance to Eros’ provocations?
ㅡSquare, square… !
So I ignored the guy’s protests,
I split the skin with a slightly smaller knife.
It was a small fruit that fits in one hand.
This is also openly broken and has many scratches here and there. It wouldn’t be strange to throw it away right now.
ㅡSuddenly… !
“What, what?”
But this time, as well, surprising results followed.
“… It’s in much worse condition than the midday esophagus earlier, so why does it feel like it’s getting sharper?”
The fruit that fits snugly in one hand easily cuts the sweet fruit and the thick skin of the drill apple.
Like cutting soft pudding.
The feeling of being sucked in as soon as the blade touches.
With little force applied, the blunt blade lightly cuts into the shell.
“How is this possible? The skin isn’t even soggy, so why…… ?”
Surprised to myself, I looked down at the knife in my right hand.
No matter how you look at it, it’s an outdated fruit that’s out of the ordinary.
It is easy to hold as it fits in the hand.
For some reason, it looks like a dagger and feels comfortable.
Exactly, it was a familiar feeling in the hand.
Even though I don’t usually peel apples well.
‘But this sense… …. It’s unusual.’
If I had to compare it, it felt like holding a rifle for the first time in a long time at the reserve army training ground.
Is it similar to how most of the reservists, who have lived a social life without a gun for a while, suddenly turn into sharpshooters when they only start shooting training?
The result was also unusual.
I cut it roughly…….
The thick skin of the dango fruit has a straight cross-section and lays neatly on a cutting board.
“Wow! I’ve never seen such light cutting! This is the first time I’ve seen this type of gripping method! Unusual!”
“Hmm?”
Eros, who was grunting and giggling next to me, exclaims at my knife. How surprised she is, the bright starlight pours from her purple eyes.
But a unique gripping method?
Now, after covering the handle with the palm of your hand,
The posture of holding the blade with your thumb and forefinger.
It looked like two fingers were placed on the upper part of the blade and both sides were tightly gripped.
I’m just holding the blade more firmly,
It was a gripping method that was nothing special.
Even as I looked at it, it didn’t seem like the attitude of someone who specializes in swordsmanship.
But…….
‘Did I usually cut like this? How did you hold and move the knife while cooking? … ?’
Suddenly, even myself get confused.
I can’t remember when I try to think of it.
I am more confused because it was a really minor part.
Like an old man who is confused as to whether he usually sleeps with his beard in the duvet or falls asleep with it out.
ㅡ Tak Tak Tak!
ㅡ Seuk, seuk, seuk… !
I don’t know anything else, but the knife sharpens very well.
Unconsciously, instinctively, the hand moves.
After completely peeling off the skin, cut the flesh to make it easy to eat.
Dango fruit and drill apple pulp are placed on a plate evenly in regular sizes, as if measured with a ruler.
“Ohhhhh… ! Sir, see you again! I thought he was a pure idiot except for his lower legs, but he’s also pretty good at using daggers, right?”
Eros exclaims again and again. A guy with a smaller body than me is still cocky.
“That is not important right now. Hey, would you like some tangerines? The rest should be finished soon.”
“Huh? This, red tangerine? Can I just peel it off?”
Oh, was that a name?
It’s a simpler name than I thought.
The name seems to have translated the red fragrance among the types of tangerines.
Anyway…….
“No, I’m going to squeeze the juice and sprinkle it over the snowflakes.”
“Oh oh… ! Do you think it would be cool and refreshing? I’ll help you with that!”
Eros nodded happily.
Then he picks it up with a confident face.
With the momentum to crush the Red Tangerine right now.
“Ah! If you help out, how about having Miss Eros make her own portion for Miss Sonya?”
“Eh? Am I for Sonya? Why?!”
“It’s so simple, just follow me and you won’t have any difficulty.”
“Yeah, but it’s too sudden…… ?”
“Hmm? Don’t you give each other gifts or something?”
“There’s no way he’d do something like that-! Why would you do something like that to make your friends grow chicken? … !”
Eros shakes his head in denial.
He seemed completely incomprehensible.
He is a dragon of love, but he is rude in expressing affection even to his friends…….
The more you think about it, the more contradictory the clan.
Are friendship and love different concepts?
Perhaps, rather than pure love, he might be sincere only in physical love, like the name Eros.
“Well, that’s great. How about taking this opportunity to express your gratitude?”
“That’s why I—!”
“From what I’ve heard, Sonya seems to have taken care of Eros without realizing it……. Is not it?”
“… ….”
A guy who suddenly becomes dumb after drinking honey. Still, I can’t really refute whether I have a conscience.
“If it’s Miss Sonya, you’ll definitely like it. I think it’s a good opportunity to convey my feelings, but is it not good?”
“Well, then tell me… ! It’s true that you’re a friend I’m grateful for in many ways-!”
A guy who exhales hot snorts at my persuasion and builds up his will.
As expected, she has a simple personality.
Good. I never thought it would come off so easily
With this, Eros’ conditional sympathy quest is also solved.
A strange request to make dessert together while giving the recipe.
“Hey, but… Breeder teacher?”
“Yes? Why?”
“… Go, thank you.”
“Hmm? Suddenly?”
“The way you accepted me earlier……. For taking care of my relationship with Sonya… Go, thank you-!”
It was just a plausible appearance for the quest, but I nodded my head while conveying my sincere gratitude-! Eros looking down.
“Huh… ….”
Laughter leaks out at the appearance that is not like a guy.
It wasn’t like a mockery.
It was a smile mixed with admiration and delight.
I feel like I’ve grown a little bit, so I’m proud of myself.
“… I am very grateful. Was it thanks to you that I was able to recover quickly?”
“Huh, heung-! That’s right! I’m the guy who got the point!”
“hahahaha, that’s a bit difficult… ….”
“Huh? What’s the trouble-?!”
“Oh, nothing. Anyway, let’s stop chatting and start making it, shall we? Time has been delayed.”
“Aww… ! Okay! Even though Sensei is sloppy, he is sometimes mature.”
“Sure. Even if you look at it like this, your body is older than you think.”
You may look like an ordinary human on the outside,
Actually, it is the body that was with the ancestors.
I also wonder how old this body really is.
When I see Sophia later, I will ask her to tell me more about what kind of past I saw yesterday.
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“Now, stop talking nonsense, would you like to imitate me first?”
I cut off the chatter before it got too long, holding the red tangerine in my hand. And then…….
ㅡ Dol Do Do Do Do… !
The peel was rolled vigorously to release the juice.
I can feel the touch from the inside.
This method was chosen because the skin was quite thick.
Anyway, after rolling enough times like that.
ㅡTeouk!
If you cut the tip of the red tangerine with a knife…….
ㅡ Squeaky… !!
Orange fruit juice pours out.
Above the heap of pure white snowflakes.
All the juice except for the fiber can be neatly removed.
“Wow! Dark orange eyes? Are you pretty?”
“Now, just add the cut ingredients and you’re done.”
“Huh? Already? But now, what are we making?”
“Oh, I haven’t told you yet. I am making shaved ice now.”
“Bingsuwoo… ?”
“Yes, it is quite different, but you can think of it as similar to sherbet.”
“Ah! After all, it was a cold dessert!”
“That’s right. For the final plating, decorate Eros with the prepared ingredients to your liking. I’m going to decorate it for the lady like that.”
“Okay! As for the aesthetic sense, I’m also good at it!”
Eros rolled up his arms at my words and picked up the pre-cut fruit.
For a quick finish, I picked up the dango fruit first.
ㅡSuddenly… !
I covered half of the dango fruits on the red-red shaved ice topped with red tangerine. And on the other half, slices of drilled apple trimmed in a fan shape were placed on top.
‘Shouldn’t I add the main ingredient now?’
ㅡ Dalgrak, Dalgrak!
In the next step, the well-cooled red bean paste was placed in the center of the shaved ice.
“Okay, now for the last time… ….”
If you put a fruit resembling a cherry on top of red beans as a decoration, the red bean shaved ice is finally complete!
“I made it-! Be delicious, yap yap♡”
“Huh? Miss Eros?”
“Teacher’s also delicious, yap-♡”

Just in time, Eros must have finished making it, and he memorizes an order that can only be heard at a maid cafe.
And at the same time…….
ㅡ Ttiring!
[Special Fruit Patbingsu – ★★★★★]
‘Huh? Rice, five stars…… ?!’
