"Ah, I'm so tired..."

"Hey!! Shut up!!"

The men hastily silenced the guard who had just arrived.

"Huh? What... Whoa!?"

One by one, they were shocked into silence.

Looking in the direction silently indicated, they saw a scene that should not have been there. People who should not have been there were present.

"Why... Why are, His Majesty and the others..."

"I don't know!!"

"What are they doing?"

"I don't know... I've seen them gathered around something like a pot, but that's all."

"A pot?"

"I think it was a pot... but I only saw it from a crack, so I'm not sure."

"Huh? What are they making?"

"...I don't know... What could His Majesty be making here?"

Everyone was whispering, but Lina and Prince Egiedilus, who were not participating, could hear everything. They exchanged glances and smiled wryly.

The idea of the King, the Prime Minister, and their entourage making ice cream is just unbelievable.

Even I feel it's strange to watch. King Felix looks so cute when he's stirring, and Prince Schuzel, using magic, looks relaxed and happy.

"Lina~. It's getting pretty solid~"

Prince Schuzel said warmly while cooling the pot.

He is truly the wisest in the kingdom. He can talk while using magic, making difficult tasks seem easy.

"Okay, I'm coming~"

Lina, who was serving, placed the tray at the kitchen window and hurried over.

"Does this look good?"

"...Hmm. Let me see."

Lina took the wooden spoon from King Felix and mixed it once. It was slightly firmer than soft-serve ice cream, just right for ice cream. After checking the consistency, Lina took out small plates and spoons from her magic bag and scooped up a bit of the freshly made ice cream, putting it in her mouth.

What is this?!

It's super delicious!!

The ice cream made from unprocessed milk is as rich and creamy as, if not more than, the ice cream sold at the farm. It might be the best ice cream Lina has ever tasted.

"Lina? How is it?"

Prince Schuzel asked, excited.

"It's amazing. Perfect!!"

She told him honestly.

"Really!! Then, let's taste it right away..."

Before Prince Schuzel could try it,

"Let's have it for lunch!!"

Lina cut in. After all, they need to eat their meal first.

"......Huh?"

Prince Schuzel's eyes widened, and he made a strange sound. It must have been quite a shock.

"Right, I'll prepare it right away?"

"...But, the tasting?"

"I've already tasted it and take full responsibility, so it's fine."

She smiled. If she didn't do this, they might be satisfied with just the ice cream.

"......"

Prince Schuzel looked dejected.

Lina felt a bit guilty but couldn't help it.

"Here we go!"

Lina put the pot of ice cream into her magic bag.

"Are you an old woman?"

King Felix unexpectedly chimed in.

"If you say that, I won't make anything."

Lina glared at him as she went to the kitchen.

"What will you make?"

King Felix smiled. He didn't seem to mind Lina's impertinence.

"I want chicken nuggets!!"

Prince Egiedilus, apparently very pleased, raised his hand and demanded.

"Chicken nuggets, huh? Can I give a taste to Rick and the others?"

She asked Prince Egiedilus. There wasn't much, and the lower-ranking staff in the palace, like Monica, probably wouldn't get to taste it.

Considering how they were already drooling from the smell, Lina thought it was only fair.

"Leave it to Lina!!"

Prince Egiedilus agreed.

Here it comes!! Secret technique: Round Toss!!

"Then, let's make it."

"Yesss!!"

Some of the chefs gave a thumbs up.

Despite their earlier complaints and pale faces, they were busy people.
