The skills are confirmed and a tea party is held.

I want you two to eat something.

The venue is not a mansion, but a desk and table in a position where you can see the famous family vegetable garden that my mother grows.

... after seeing the most beautiful flower gardens in the world at the castle. So the gap is terrible. My mother said, 'Flowers also bloom on vegetables. Then it's a better deal to eat'.

The vegetables grown here are delicious, and I'm actually positive about my mother's opinion, too.

"We're both ready."

Arrange the specialty herbs with the special treats that have finally become commercialized.

It's usually a tart job, but this time I'll do it to surprise the two of you.

"Ah, this is the one Lug used to bring me for a souvenir. It's so delicious, I thought I'd eat it again."

"You remembered very well. That was a prototype, but I was finally able to commercialize it last month."

"I love it, too. It's bitter, sweet."

"Yeah, yeah, that's good, chocolate"

"Ha!"

That's chocolate.

Once upon a time, before Dia was still a tower hade, I made it a souvenir in a monthly intimate meeting and only fed Dia once.

So Dia knows chocolate, and Tart knows it because she's had prototypes eaten.

"Try it now."

"Um, it's delicious after all. It's so luxurious."

"Yes, it feels like this strange snooze, I can't enjoy it with other treats"

The two just indulge in chocolate.

I'll take a sip too.

Yeah, well done.

Smooth palate. Besides, the cocoa ratio is good, one step ahead of you feeling too bitter. Reducing cocoa more than this will not taste enough cocoa, and more than here will be too bitter to enjoy.

Milk chocolate, which was commercially available in previous life, has a ratio of between 20% and 40% cocoa, but this is roughly 45%. It's called bitter chocolate.

This is the best way to make you enjoy the charm of chocolate.

"But compared to what they fed me before, I'm a little short of smoothness and a little blurry, and not enough flavor. Oh, but it's very, very tasty. I'm sorry I said something weird."

"I have nothing to apologize for. Instead, he noticed a lot. Indeed, this is less qualitative than what we fed before."

"Really? Is it a difference in ingredients?

"The rattlesnake will be later. Now enjoy the chocolate."

"Ha!"

Tart seems to have a better tongue in proportion to his culinary skills.

It's hard to realize this difference.

"Um, it's just a combination with herbal tea."

"Not bad, but maybe coffee would be better if it went with chocolate"

"What's coffee? I've never heard that before."

"One day, I'll get it. I'm sure it's somewhere in the wider world."

Coffee, you'll definitely be able to build up a tremendous fortune if you get that exact too and distribute it to this continent.

"But it took you a really long time. I had a prototype when I was in Murteau, but it became a product last month."

"Oh, I struggled. A cocoa of ingredients is so hard to chocolate nuts. It takes time, it's complicated, it takes special skills. I'm not the only one who can make it. You're scouting a skilled confectioner for training. After less than a year of trial and error, I finally reached a level where I could sell."

Making chocolate from cocoa is extremely difficult.

Remove the cocoa beans from the cocoa fruit in the lower preparation, wrap and ferment with banana peel or the like, and then dry.

… easy in words, but the good and bad of the yeast used for fermentation, the flavors and flavors change, the environment to ferment requires careful attention, and the number of days, etc. depends on the surrounding environment.

It takes a trick to dry, too, and if you make a few mistakes, it will be ruined.

That's how I roast what I've revealed and peel the shell...... this is another terrible gut. The task of crushing and crushing it and mixing it with the addition of ingredients...... from which I will work out more chocolate called refaning and conching, but the distracting task of continuing to work out for about seventy-two hours.

It's also skillful, not just mixed with power to give it a smooth mouthfeel.

I've done that many times with tempering, hot water of varying temperatures to make the fat crystals better and have the task of improving the palate and flavor.

This is the hardest part. If I finish this, I'll finally be in the mold and done.

It took me a year to finally reach the point, even though I scouted a super first-class confectioner.

I have chocolate in front of me that has been so painstakingly completed.

"Someone else made it, so it tasted less like Master Rugg made it for me."

Saying so, Tart carries the last one to his mouth and gives him a melted look like chocolate.

Dia is something similar.

They both liked the chocolate.

If it makes you happy, it means it's worth the effort and commercialization.

"Well, I ate in no time."

"... I should have tasted and eaten more"

The two plates were emptied.

Usually, I have a spare and I give a replacement, but this time I don't have any extra.

"You think you can sell it?

"Yeah, I'll definitely sell it! If you're a nobleman, I'll buy you some gold."

"Neither do I feel I can tolerate the price I can afford for a dime"

As a matter of fact, chocolate is not the only thing I like.

Polyphenol-theopromine in cocoa has a fatigue recovery and relaxation effect.

It's medicine, so to speak. Once you mouth the chocolate, your body unconsciously seeks it when you're tired, and the chocolate you eat when that's the case is exceptional.

"I sent it to my subscribers last month and they have a pretty good reputation"

Sending to subscribers is a resale measure and a congestion measure in store, but the overwhelming strength of being able to make them buy more products they like.

It doesn't make sense if you can't get it in your hands no matter what good stuff you make.

If it is one of the packed products, the hurdle of having it in your hand can be easily cleared. Besides, all the destinations that send the goods are wealthy and aristocratic with information dissemination.

In no time, rumors of chocolate were spreading explosively, called phantom confectionery.

"... I think the complaint is killing me with a lot of momentum."

"This was my first time sending sweets, but even tea leaves are delightful. You wouldn't be complaining about adding chocolate, would you?

"It's not like that, it's like selling me more, or putting it in the store."

Correct. Complaints like that have already arrived in the mountains.

Hope to buy extra, plea to definitely let me in next month, see if I line up in the store etc...

Some customers say things are unscrupulous.

"You got it. If that's what you call a complaint, it's a complaint killing. Marha's handling it well."

If it wasn't for Marha, I might have run out of bees and thrown out my job.

The amount is amazing, and it's just a hassle for the other person to wield as much power as they want.

"Wow, Hido"

"Um, Master Lug, if this is all delicious and becomes popular, won't it be imitated by other stores?

"Don't think it's hard. Cocao shoppers are across the ocean. Only Orna trades there, and most importantly, it's too hard to make chocolate.... it would take a hundred years to study how to make a decent cocoa chocolate"

Even assuming you got the cocoa purchasing route, you wouldn't even come up with it from the starting point of waxing and fermenting the cocoa beans in the banana skin in the first place.

Difficult processes have been lined up ever since, tempering, etc. makes no sense just knowing, and skilled.

Impossible for other shops to imitate.

"Problem is, they're buying craftsmen or kidnapping them."

"There's no drain around here. This is all I'm investing in, and I'm careful. If there's a hand... you'll regret it for the rest of your life"

When it comes to emulsion, such a raw person deals with it so much that it rots. That is why we have accumulated the know-how of measures.

Most importantly, the major chambers of commerce are looking at the painful eyes at that time, so I don't think they will be able to get their hands on me this time.

"This chocolate is so delicious, it's so hard"

"Sort of. That's why it becomes a weapon. It's every two months for chocolate to line up in stores and send it to subscribers to make that weapon stronger, just so it alternates and only sells once a month. I sent it last month, so it feels like we're only selling it in store for one day this month."

"Wow, that's nasty. It's gonna be so premier."

That's what I'm after.

I can only make it in Orna. Plus, fantastic treats that only sell once a month.

Its rarity further captures the value of chocolate.

Tart just doesn't seem to know what it means to do that, so he's got his neck around him.

"Um, they're ordering a lot, even if it's not worth it, right? Then why don't we make it anyway?

"If you think only of profit. But if it has a rare value, there is another way to use it.... fantasy treats that are being talked about among the aristocrats and millionaires, you'd be happy to get that. I developed this chocolate for entertainment. … and there are other uses."

The more rarely available, the more envious people are, the more nobles and millionaires want.

In that regard, this chocolate is perfect. I pride myself on what I eat, it's only sold in Orna, and that's only once a month, too.

And it also comes with quality.

"Oh, okay! You know, you said it was tough with all the complaints earlier. That's right, you're sending chocolate in exchange for messed up terms, right?

"You got it. I'm doing it.... aristocrats and millionaires are helpful with a lot of grip. Especially a man trying to dress up well for a woman. I promised a woman I'd get chocolate, and she'd swallow it lightly when she told me to give her information, her rights, all kinds of accommodations to someone she couldn't pull in on her own."

"Wow, black. It's blacker than chocolate!

What Orna demanded on the terms of sending chocolate, not gold, is what she doesn't get no matter how much money she loads.

That will generate profits to the point of being awesome for Orna in the future.

Surprisingly, even royalty in other countries have fallen into the charm of chocolate, offering something outrageous.

It was only because it brought rarity to chocolate that this became possible.

"So as soon as I can, I'm going to go do every favor for this as a souvenir. Already among the nobles, chocolate is worth more than gold. Somewhat, I'm sure he'll ask for some unscrupulous wishes."

Remove the tastefully packaged carton.

"Oh, Lug, you had another box! You got a change!

"I told you, this is for a gift"

"Who the hell are you going to see?

"To the magical user of light attributes. To capitalize on Dia's skills. Light magic, you want to try it fast, right?

"Ugh, I can't be selfish when they say that."

"Good boy. Send more chocolate next time for the reward"

"Yay, I love Lug!

Dia hugs me and the tart looks jealous.

Is that the usual pattern?... If I thought so, Tart also said 'Dear Lug, I love you' and hugged me. Maybe that triggered a change in tart consciousness.

"In the meantime, let me go. We need to get ready to go see him."

"Yes."

"Um, I'm sorry"

Initially, I tried to make a request in a letter about light magic, but I decided to meet him in person.

The person to meet is Nevan, daughter of the Duke of Romarung. Ask her to teach light magic to a chocolate souvenir.

And the decision to go out in person sometimes made me want to talk about something I couldn't do then.

That is surely a request for cooperation in assassinating the Second Prince.

If you're Romarung's daughter, you can make as many moves as I'd expect.

... and I have more feelings. I want to reiterate if you really want to kill the second prince. Even if they did, it's this industry that might have something to do with sincerity.

Whatever the development, I hope this chocolate will loosen their feelings a little bit.

Sometimes confectionery becomes a stronger weapon than a sword.
