"The showdown is tomorrow... there's no pullout!

"Um... Master Callis? Don't shout too loud in the kitchen"

That's what my butler, Mr. Sieg, has said when he's kicking ass at Norinoli. No, I mean, it's an important day, so I couldn't contain a clear mind... if I had two of my favorite people beside me, I would have been Mr. Handsome Kallis without disturbing my mind that much... but it was inconvenient to have them on my side for tomorrow's mission, so I couldn't help it.

"Nevertheless... I was surprised when Miss Callis told me that she was celebrating her daughter's birth."

"Well, I've never been able to make it up to you. Besides, it's natural to celebrate my daughter's birthday, right?

Sieg nodded with a smile.

"I get it. But don't push yourself too hard... because I'm going back to work."

"Oh. I asked you, Sieg."

My butler disappears from the kitchen after I say so. Well, I guess I've come to pay attention because I'm noisy.

I don't know why I'm working in the kitchen with such tension... for Laurier's birthday, which is approaching tomorrow.

It's an event that we didn't celebrate until last year, but there's no better option than not to do it than I became Mr. Callis.

"So... Master Callis. I'm talking about cooking tomorrow... can I really leave the cake to Master Callis?

"Oh. Because the other dishes would be better cooked by Garlic than me. I hope so."

Garrick, who was listening next door, nodded forcefully against it and said.

"Absolutely! Let us take advantage of the rare recipes that Lord Callis has given us."

"Yeah. Please."

Garrick is given a recipe for a different kind of party. Well, it sounds like a birthday celebration, but how far you can reproduce it with the ingredients you have in this world would be a sign of Garrick's power as a cook.

I'm in charge of the classic, the main cake. When it comes to making sweets, I've gained confidence there. Today... I spare no effort to make my daughter's birthday the best.

"Well... for now, Laurier's cake... I figured you'd like something sweet."

My beloved daughter likes something quite sweet, so a cake with plenty of raw cream would be a classic. Though...

"If you want to be able to eat Sasha too, you shouldn't be too sweet..."

My daughter-in-law doesn't like anything too sweet than her daughter, so that's the trouble. Of course, it's Laurier's birthday, so it's natural to make a cake for Laurier... but I'm still lost in the decision because I want my wife to eat it deliciously too.

"Speaking of which, recently, Sasha said she wanted something sour... so would Sasha like some extraordinarily sweet cakes for making lemon cakes too?

There have been times here lately when I look pale, Sasha. Well, it didn't seem that serious... but there was a little bit of a desire to make something cheerful.

Rent a corner of the kitchen and get to the prototype quickly. This was the first time I actually made a cake called lemon and it was exciting to see what it would taste like... but this was done pretty well.

The problem is Laurier's birthday cake... but there's nothing I can do to get it to a satisfactory finish.

I have all the ingredients I can prepare and have tried to rebuild them several times, but...

"Something different..."

It becomes less sweet than I thought. Usually I almost compromise here... but it's my daughter's birthday. I want to do everything I can.

"Master Callis!

That's how a samurai rushed into the kitchen in some haste around the time she repeated several failures and had a convincing finish there. A familiar face... you were indeed a samurai wearing on Sasha... and I took the hand of the prototype and turned my gaze to the samurai who had rushed in and asked.

"What's wrong with you?

"Sasha..."

"What's wrong with Sasha?

The samurai said what I expected when I heard some disturbing signs that I was taking my face seriously.

"Master Sasha has fallen."

Before I ran out of words, I was dashing. Aim for Sasha's room with no flanks.

I don't know what happened, but... my heart isn't going to be cold enough to shut up and overlook when I hear Sasha's down.

"Sasha...!"

Please be safe... I was headed straight to Sasha with that in mind.
