Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children While Being an Adventurer~

king more~?””

The children tilted their heads at my words as they munched on the custard cream bun.

“Since we are here, we might as well.
Right~ I got my hands on a lot of burst powder, so why don’t we make a pound cake?”
“”Pound! Love it!””

I’ve made a pound cake without baking powder as a test before, but it didn’t rise very well.
So, I’m thinking of challenging it again using burst powder.

“The last time… we made one with nuts and dried fruit, right?”
“”Was yummy~!””
“Is that so? I’m glad to hear that.
What do we do this time? Do we do the same one?”

The last time I made it, I made a simple plain dough with lots of chopped walnuts and raisins.
Since I was going to challenge it again, I thought I should make the same one.

“”Will eat the same one~! But you see, you see!””
“Allen thinks Lemone pound would be nice too!”
“Elena you know, Elena thinks Oren would be good!”

Allen and Elena came up with their ideas for pound cakes.

“Oh, that sounds nice.
Rather, those are some good ideas~”

I believe that lemon and orange zest is a standard flavor for pound cakes.
But that’s because I know about it.
It’s amazing that the kids, who knew nothing about it, could think of this.

“”Also, let’s make chocolate one!””
“That sounds good too.
But, that would be cocoa rather than chocolate, I guess? Als… tea, maro.”
“Ishiuri!”
“Sweet potato!”
“Alright, let’s make some more!”
“”Let’s do it~!””

That being the case, we decided to work on making pound cakes next.
Plain, plain with Kotou and Kukuru, plain with Maro, cocoa, plain and cocoa marble, tea leaves, Ishiuri paste with Ishiuri cubes, sweet potato paste with sweet potato cubes.***
All this has obviously taken a lot of flour, butter and sugar to make, so I’ll have to buy more next time~ Ah, let’s also buy more White Wheat.
As for the rest… it should be fine, I think?
I have plenty of meat because of the monsters we hunt, and I have plenty of fish stocked up.
I’ve got vegetables and fruits from Marshelly-san, so I’m good there.
Yeah, we’ll be fine.
Or rather, we are doing too well~

“It baked well.”
“”Looks delish.””
“Right.
Well, why don’t we invite Rebecca-san for a cup of tea.”

I’ve heard that it’s better to eat pound cake after it’s cooled, but they taste great when freshly out of the oven, too!
It was time for tea, so we took pound cakes I had cut into pieces and headed for Rebecca-san’s place.

“”Obaa~sama!””
“My, oh my, welcome.”

Even though it was a sudden visit, Rebecca-san greeted us with a smile.

“Excuse our sudden visit.
We made a new tea-cake, would you like to have some with us?”
“”Let’s have tea?””
“Fufu, I’m happy you invited me.
I’m looking forward to tasting your new product, Takumi-san.
Why don’t we invite Velio-san and Almeria-san too?”
“All right.
But, is it fine to invite them all of a sudden like this?”
“It’s fine.
They will be delighted by the invitation.”

Just like Rebecca-san said, Velio-san and Almeria-san accepted our sudden invitation to a tea party.

“Oren is delish!”
“Lemone is delish, too!”
“You have made the one with Kotou and Kukuru before right? It’s more delicious than the last time~”
“This dark brown one is faintly bitter, but it goes really well with tea.”
“The sweet potato one is very tasty.”

They wanted to try all of them, so I cut the pound cakes into bite-sized pieces so they could taste all of the pound cake kinds.
