Their world doesn't need gods.

Chapter 170: Everyone on the Eve of Winter Day (1)

?◇?◇?◇?◇?

"Although I also know that preparing food is a very troublesome and difficult task. But do we really need to start preparing the ingredients two days in advance..."

Leonard sat on a low stool, peeling potatoes and complaining listlessly.

"Technically, it's only one day early. We still have classes tomorrow. And these fruits, please clean them later."

Alfred ordered Leonard as he prepared the dough.

"No way~ It's just a small event held by the school on Winter Day. Al, do you have to take it so seriously~ and let Senior Sophia make something like that."

Leonard complained with a dumbfounded expression.

Although he was chatting with Alfred, his movements of peeling potatoes were not affected at all.

Because he worked in the student cafeteria to earn credits, Leonard's potato-peeling skills had been perfected within a month.

Not only did he peel the potatoes very cleanly, but he also peeled them so quickly that even Alfred was a little scared.

As for the thing that Leonard mentioned, it was an egg beater.

This is a magic egg beater that Alfred commissioned Sophia to make and is powered by magic.

In addition to the egg beater, there are also magic-powered cooking pots and ovens, which looks like a modern kitchen.

"This is to make it easier to prepare the ingredients. And delicious desserts can heal people's hearts. Leonard, you should be more serious."

"I haven't seen you so keen on making desserts before. So what's the truth?"

Leonard complained as if he had guessed something.

"Because Sister Rose said that she hasn't eaten the snacks I made for a while, so she missed them. I took advantage of the opportunity of the Winter Day event, so of course I had to prepare them carefully."

Alfred replied, remembering what happened a few days ago.

"Woohoo, stop showing off."

"I'm not showing off. Besides, aren't you dating Jessica from Brunhilde's class? Just imagine her shyly praising you when she eats the dessert you prepared."

Alfred said half-jokingly, trying to arouse Leonard's interest.

Leonard must have imagined it. His cheeks were flushed and he looked a little embarrassed.

However, it is really boring to see a boy being shy, so Alfred hopes that he can be more restrained in the future.

(Alas, after all, this is what I have to do to make Leonard work hard for me, so I will just bear with it this time.)

"Yeah, yeah! Al, you're quite good at this."

Leonard mustered up his energy, or maybe his fighting spirit, and peeled potatoes even faster.

"Ah~ Leonard, this idiot is really smart~ Hey, Al, our tart shells are ready, how do we use this oven?"

Liliana looked dumbfounded and asked while holding a plate of neatly shaped egg tart doughs.

She was now wearing casual clothes and an apron with a cute kitten pattern on it.

If no one had told her, no one would have believed that Liliana, who now looked like a cute cook, was actually the daughter of Duke Christiana.

"Just turn the knob here. Preheat the oven before putting the tart in."

Alfred put down his work and explained how to use the oven while operating it.

Because it is made according to the prototype of the old electric oven, there is not much difference in the method of use.

"This really surprises me. Could it be that the nobles of the empire usually do this kind of thing on their own?"

Stephanie, the foreign princess who was usually not very sociable, looked at the busy crowd in a bit of dumbfoundedness.

In fact, she was not without reason to be confused. After all, the sight of a group of noble daughters who were supposed to be very at ease busy making desserts and preparing ingredients was a rare sight in any country.

Having said that, she was actually helping to wash grapes and other fruits to prepare ingredients for making jam.

Since she had never cooked before, Stephanie could only do simple tasks like this to help.

"Not really, it's just that the people in our class are special."

Leonard replied with a helpless shrug.

"Indeed~ I didn't expect that Alfred and Liliana would be so skilled."

Rosalie weighed the granulated sugar on a scale and joined the conversation.

"Well, Al is a weirdo. He has always liked doing weird things since he was a kid. He used to cook and stuff like that. As for me, I'm just interested in making desserts."

Liliana replied somewhat embarrassedly.

"Rosalie, you seem to be very skilled at cooking. Do you cook often at home?"

Elaje asked with some envy as she watched Rosalie's skillful movements.

Apart from making chocolates for Valentine's Day, she rarely cooks other desserts.

Because of this, I caused a lot of trouble to others just now.

"Because I am a little different from everyone else. After all, I am just the daughter of a baron..."

Rosalie replied somewhat awkwardly.

Although the Baron Mansfield family is a branch of the Earl Field family, it is not a famous or wealthy family in the southern part of the empire.

As a daughter who is not well-known in the family, she must have many difficulties of her own.

She also asked for leave when school started, saying that there was a natural disaster and she needed to help her family.

"S-Sorry. I didn't mean to look down on you, Rosalie-san."

Elaje apologized hurriedly, fearing that Rosalie might misunderstand.

"Yeah~ Yeah, I don't mind it, and I don't feel like you look down on me, Ella."

Rosalie smiled gently and consoled him. Compared to Ella, who was like a little animal and easily panicked, she seemed much more mature and stable.

"I'm back. I bought what you wanted, Alfred."

Adelaide returned to the classroom holding a paper bag, with the direwolf cub Fenri beside him.

"Thank you, Adelaide-san. We'll prepare the cream and ice cream in a moment."

"As for ice cream, it feels like I haven't had it for a long time. I want to be the first to try it, hehe~"

"Adelaide, have you ever eaten the ice cream that classmate Al mentioned before?"

Elaje asked curiously.

The other people in the classroom looked at her at the same time.
