Chapter 80

Ahaha... Making caramelized onions is really tough, isn't it?

Rina laughed as she watched the apprentice desperately stir-frying the onions. Incidentally, the chefs who observed Rina's efforts later described her as looking like a witch...

“Ed. Here, sorry to keep you waiting.”

She presented a freshly made crepe to Prince Egil Edilus, who had been waiting impatiently.

“...Oh!!”

Prince Egil Edilus let out a small exclamation.

The crepe was placed on a white, flat plate. Folded in half, it was topped with a bit of apple compote. On the side, a scoop of milk ice cream was drizzled with red crowberry jam.

This was much more luxurious than the milk ice cream from last time.

“Is this a crepe...”

Rick, who had narrowly avoided the penalty game but received no reward, stared intently at it. Naturally, everyone else was watching too, forming a loose circle around the prince.

“It’s hard to eat with so many people around... Could you all move over there?”

She shooed them away with a wave of her right hand. Apparently, he couldn’t eat with everyone staring at him.

“...”

Everyone remained silent and fixed their gaze on him, not moving an inch. The silent pressure was palpable.

“Alright, alright... everyone, it’s hard to eat, so get back to work. I’ll prepare the crepes for Matheus and the others now, so wait here.”

Rina clapped her hands and managed to pry the group away from Prince Egil Edilus’s dessert. If they kept crowding around, he wouldn’t be able to enjoy the crepe at all.

“Yay~!!”

Matheus and the others, confident they would receive their reward, moved to a table a bit away from the prince.

“Crepe...”

“Huh!!”

Matheus and the others were in high spirits, hopping around happily. Those who couldn’t eat, like Rick, watched them with envious eyes.
