I opened my mouth to Kate and Natalie.
"When you two came to my detachment, you took the sweets home as a souvenir, right?
"Yes, it's delicious when I get home. The squires were also very popular."
"Me, too. Thanks to you, I'm being challenged as to when Leticia will leave the house next."
Natalie and Kate replied happily in turn.
Both of you were relieved of your shoulders when you spoke to me.
It would be nice to get along the same way, even if I were not in between.
"... but why are we talking about it now?
"Sure, I haven't had any souvenir treats today...."
Kate shook the cat's ear.
Natalie narrowed her eyes a little.
Each of them seemed confused.
To those two, I propose.
"Why don't you make some sweets with me?
Huh?
What?
"You both said you wanted to see where I cook. If you'd like, why don't we cook together in the kitchen and make a souvenir of the sweets we've made?
"I...."
"In the kitchen....."
I didn't think about it.
Kate's tingling cat ears seem to be talking.
In this country, noble ladies were allowed to stand in the kitchen, but it was only a hobby.
Kate and Natalie are noble duchess daughters.
I was busy studying etiquette and socializing and didn't seem to have any cooking experience.
"We have the ingredients and tools here. It won't take long, so why don't you try making simple treats for once?
I wonder if it's like a cooking practice or a cooking class?
Cooking together should create a conversation with nature.
It might have worked better than just looking for a thread in a face-to-face conversation.

"Is this all right with your clothes, Lady Leticia?
"Master Natalie, you look great."
Natalie is pinching an apron.
I decided to get dressed in a clothing that would easily remove dirt.
Fortunately, they both looked alike to me.
I had an apron and a kitchen dress worn as a spare.
Natalie has a light blue and white striped pattern that matches her hair color.
Kate wears a white apron on top of a light green cloth.
When the two of them stood in the kitchen, the air seemed gorgeous.
Let's get the finishing touches together so your hair doesn't get in the way and start cooking.
"Today, we're going to bake the crepe dough."
The workbench is equipped with pre-rested crepe fabric.
At first, I thought I'd start with making fabrics, but that would take too long.
For two beginners, it seems difficult to mix the dough, so today it is omitted.
I decided to have the crepe selected as baking ingredient to make them experience the fun of cooking.
"I will bake the prepared dough in this frying pan."
It is a frying pan with shallower edges than what I usually use.
When the fabric is turned over, it is easier to do.
They listened with interest to my explanation.
Everything seems to be fresh for the first two people in the kitchen.
Warm the frying pan and drain the oil while both eyes are on it.
I watched the fire burn down and put the dough in the bundle.
It smells good.
Kate took a big breath.
The aroma of warmed eggs and flour tickles the tip of your nose.
"There are holes in the fabric, so let the frying pan loosen and block. Be careful to keep the thickness even... lift the dough with a helmet and flip it over."
Well...
Natalie shouted quietly at my movements.
He seems surprised.
"All you have to do is wait for the back to burn and get it off the frying pan."
Lift and slip the crepe onto the plate with a helmet.
They seemed intrigued by the baked fabric.
"Wow. This is how you make delicious dishes...."
"Excellent work. The color and smell seem very delicious."
"Fufu, thank you. Now, let's make both of you."
"... can you do that?
"I'm not sure..."
Both of you are distracted while confused.
He wants to try it on his own.
"It doesn't have to go so well from the beginning. Even if it doesn't burn beautifully, it can be used, so please try to burn it without fear of failure."
"... if they say that, I have to try it."
Duh, duh, duh.
Kate comes out in front of the frying pan.
I was watching Natalie-sama support her.
Put the frying pan in your left hand and the egg in your right hand.
Kate is draining the oil and running the dough.
"The fabric is falling...!!"
"Oh, calm down!! I think I leaned my pussy too much!!"
Kate moved the egg on Natalie's advice.
I dropped a little more fabric, but it's still recoverable.
"Kate, please tilt the frying pan to make the fabric even."
"Equally? I wonder."
"Yes, that's right. You're good."
Kate baked the dough in the light, imitating me earlier.
"When I flipped it, the fabric was torn...."
"It's the end. I baked it well for the first time. Would you like Natalie to do it next?
"... thank you very much."
Natalie grabs the frying pan with a stiff movement.
Kate laughed little by little at the easy to understand and nervous movement.
"Fufu, you don't have to be so stiff. All you have to do is scratch the dough and pour it!!"
"All this time..."
Kate speaks as an experienced person.
Natalie nodded her advice and reached out occasionally.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
"Uu... I was overtaken in no time...."
Kate muttered in front of the lined crepe fabric.
I just baked 10 pieces of crepe dough each.
Kate's crepe fabric was just one beautiful piece, and the rest was torn.
"Dear Natalie, why are you so good at this even though you're just a beginner like me...?
"Thanks to Leticia and Kate."
Four of the ten pieces of crepe fabric in front of Natalie are finished without tearing.
At first, Natalie was surprised to shake her hand, but she caught the tip on the way.
"I imitated Leticia, took Kate's advice, and I kept stroking, and it worked."
"All the way down... I'm supposed to do the same thing....."
... the difference in dexterity.
Kate is also good for beginners, but Natalie was even more clever.
It seems that the fine nerves are also exerted in cooking.
Natalie reached out to Kate, who was worried about her egg.
"Um, okay? I think it's easier to hold it like this."
It seemed that both of them were gradually getting over it.
