"Dessert?!" Mom shouted from beside me with stars in her eyes.

"Wowy~. Dessert~!" Anna shouted from my lap with her hands high in the sky~.

And a similar reaction from everyone else throughout the room.

Everyone had anticipation-filled gazes and Alf, Dad, and my second aunt had shining eyes like Anna and my grandmother.

Why was my grandmother so surprised all of a sudden?

She had her old grandma's appearance all this time, but now she was like this all of a sudden.

Did she like the things I made that much?

p Like... I knew she liked cooking like my dad.

She and dad got so well because they both admired each other's cooking but, to suddenly be this excited, was quite something.

Even Rein... she had anticipation in those beautiful eyes.

'Don't even think about that,' I angrily answered to her gaze that asked if she could have that special ice cream again.

And I was damn serious.

And my stern answer and her sudden disappointment caught everyone's or at least every adult's attention in this room.

And I just shook my head at their sudden smirks and just sighed deeply.

"Will big brother make ice-cream~?" Anna asked with an anticipation-filled gaze and her eagerness made me smile even more.

"Does my little Anna like ice cream~?" I asked with a warm smile and she blasted with happiness.

"Yes~!! Anna likes ice cream a looooot~! Daddy said you were the one who taught him, right ~? I want to eat the ice cream that big brother would make~!

And I loooooooove chocolate~!"

This was one of the most cheerful and adorable and cute voices and it was just... nice.

"I love chocolate too~! How wonderful ~!" I cheerfully answered this little sister and kissed her head and she nodded her head with giggles.

Again, everyone just smiled warmly while looking at us but, there was something else I wanted to do today.

"So, what about everyone else?

I know mom loves wine, Alf strawberry, second aunt red chili, Dad likes mango, Carla likes orange, and the first aunt likes all the tea flavors.

My dear first uncle likes milk.

Grandpa likes the rich butterscotch and grandmother likes saffron quite a nice one.

My second uncle likes carrot-flavored ice cream... which definitely is unique.

And my- ahem. Rein likes chocolate with roasted almonds.

What about everyone else?" I asked, but that last line I messed up earned me even more smirks and pleased grins than there had been.

This was definitely one on my part, and I was just going with the flow on that one.

Well, she was just my friend... For now. Things would need time to go further than that.

And now that none of us gave any reaction to any of their provocation, they understood both of us had decided on what we were going to do.

And they had relieved and proud eyes while looking at us.

In their eyes, this was truly what adults would do. And Rein's grandma can't contain her smile on this one.

"Oh, that's alright everyone. Our two grown-up children won't need us on that.

So, Eon. My favorite is also strawberry.

Eth here likes blueberries.

Oran likes the lemon flavor, a unique citrus one.

Dorian likes apple-flavored ones.

Well... to think you pioneered something like this, Eon. Just amazing~!" She cheerfully shouted, and I nodded my head in happiness.

I know even if someone else introduced the ice cream in the near future, it would have been all ok.

But, I liked the fact that I was the one that made the first ice cream in this world.

Maybe my name, along with my mom who actually did everything, from large-scale production to inventing large-scale workshops, would be written in history?

It really was possible at this rate, but I liked the fact that people were able to try something this amazing in this world a little sooner.

But...

"Though I know everyone likes ice cream, I won't be making that today.

Well, exactly not the ice cream you all know." I smiled and looked as a confused expression clouded their faces.

And the cutest one was naturally Anna's.

I just smiled at her and looked at everyone and then at dad, grandma, and... Rein.

'I said no. Why don't you understand?' she thought I would say something about the special ice cream but that wasn't it.This chapter's initial release occurred on the N0v3l-B1n site.

And this strong denial made her disheartened like a sad puppy or a kitty.

"Well, I will make two desserts that you may or may not like, depending on your preference.

One would be a hot dessert that does go quite well with ice cream and the other one would be a different kind of ice cream.

I suggest you all look forward to it and, if dad, grandmother, and Rein help me, I know it will be done in no time~!"

My voice was cheerful and there was no doubt in anyone's mind that the creator of something divine like ice cream won't be able to make something other than ice cream.

"Wow~! Anna will help big bother too~!" But this one was unexpected.

Anna cooking with us in a kitchen apron like that...?

"Of course~!!! I would love to have you with us~!" I shouted with more enthusiasm than I had shown ever.

And my voice this time was almost as loud as Rein's when she was excited.

This actually surprised everyone, including Rein, because this was the first time I had acted like that but, they could understand this one, and all at once, laughter broke out at the dining table.

"Hehehe, big brother is really excited~!" Zoe giggled with Anna and both little ladies shook their heads.

I knew this was too much but, even Rein found this one funny and started laughing while covering her mouth with her hand.

And all the adult's laughs were even happier than Carla or Alf's.

Some were happy that I was still ok and fine to be able to shout like that and be a fool for my little sister.

But... it was true, though.

Just imagining this little angel wearing a small pink apron and cooking some Brownies and Mousse was just... wholesome.

It was soul soothing just watching her do that stuff and for someone who had just lived in a jungle with a grandma, watching this little girl who was the most adorable thing there was, cooking like that was just... calming.

I was content with just that much, and compliments from all these people won't matter to me one bit.

Rein was not one of them, though. I will like the compliment and after that, if she likes it too much... I won't mind something else.

Not that I could expect anything more than a date, but, well, we can imagine whatever we wanted.

That's why it is called imagination.

"Well, whatever. Let's go everyone~! Let's make some Brownies and Mousse~!"

Though the word confused them, they all stood up, and I smiled just thinking about that adorable scene.

But there was one person who had different thoughts than any of these people and naturally, it was my mother dearest.

Her natural train of thoughts would know just how good of a cook I was and just from the fact that the new things I made in this world were revolutionary in themselves, she was excited.

And as my name was already a brand, they needed new menu items to keep the momentum going.

And I could never blame her for thinking things like that on the day I was finally here but, she sure was excited to try this new thing.

Well... she was gonna love this and as I know her licking to softer things with stranger taste, perfect wine and chocolate-flavored Mousse was just the thing she would like.

I never tried making mousse in the past because I had no actual need or proper cooking knowledge and I was inexperienced back then.

This was just one of the many things I never even mentioned to them but, today, they were gonna taste the fine texture of ice cream that's more refined and carries far more taste than the normal ones.

'It would be fun... for me and for all these helpers I had with me

Cooking was a fun thing and the smiles and praises one received after making something with all their hearts were just priceless.

And that was the reason... all four of us actually loved cooking for others.
