This news made my shoulders involuntarily shiver. I was in a good mood, so I patted my stomach.

“Hehehe, of course. Even on the battlefield, we were all chattering about how this is the invention of the century.”

Is there any other news? I forgot about the chill under my feet and wandered around the castle collecting rumors.

“It seems Your Highness has created something amazing.”

“It’s called Hui-Nari Tan, right? I saw it in the kitchen. They say you’ll distribute it to all the territories, right?”

“I hope they distribute it to our house quickly! It’s hard to wait.”
“That’s right! It would be great if we could distribute it to everyone at once.”

It would be nice if I could help make it too. Since Hadel was making it alone, and the one made that day was the first, adjusting the firepower wasn’t easy.

‘Still, I should be able to make it better the second time.’

After hearing some rumors, I became hungry this time. I went to Hadel’s office to replenish the chocolate cake, and Hadel welcomed me with a bright smile.

“You’re here?”

“Kyu-kyu.”

“First, let’s put on some clothes.”

“Kyu…”

No, why can’t she put on clothes properly? Get used to natural fur too. It’s soft, warm, can be bathed and washed at the same time. How nice.

However, because I also wanted to share the good news I heard today with Hadel, I willingly transformed into a human appearance.

Changing into the uncomfortable Shumizu that I wanted to throw away, putting on drawers, a shirt, and pants, Hadel approached me closely.

“Where were you so busy today?”

“You know, Hadel. I heard some interesting stories.”

I chattered away. Hadel probably already knew that orders were pouring in, and interest was growing. But for those working in the castle, this expectation might be something new.

After hearing all my stories, Hadel nodded with a genuinely pleased smile.

“Thank you, Marian. Thanks to you, it seems vitality is flowing throughout the entire territory.”

It was fortunate that vitality was flowing through the usually silent territory. I blinked my eyes and asked.

“You should have made more during practice, right?”

“I want to discuss that part as well. The current pre-order quantity is this much…”

Hadel handed me a neatly organized document. It contained orders for Hui-Nari Tan from various places. Hadel frowned, looking troubled.

“How many orders would be appropriate once we receive them?”

“That depends on how much you can make, Hadel.”

Hadel’s expression became even more serious after my response. Since he had never used his abilities to the fullest, it was natural that it was immeasurable. I gave advice with an uncommonly serious expression.

“So you have to practice. You need to figure out how much mana you can pour out at once, at what level you can endure, and the level at which you can recover.”

“It wasn’t challenging at all when I made it back then. It seemed like I could handle twice that amount easily. I’ve never tested how much fire I can squeeze out to the limit…”

At this rate, he might end up rushing to make Hui-Nari Tan. I put on the brakes appropriately.

“You’re absolutely necessary to defeat the ice monsters here. So don’t pour out fire to the limit.”

“I momentarily forgot about that fact.”

Whether he really hadn’t thought about it or not, Hadel rested his chin and fell into deep contemplation. Watching Hadel like that, I suddenly realized this fact.
“Come to think of it, since that day when we defeated a bunch of ice monsters, they haven’t appeared again?”

Monsters shouldn’t be something people can predict, right? However, the monsters that appeared that day were unusual in many ways.

It was strange that multiple monsters were roaming around at once, and it was also odd that they didn’t attack each other.

“It was also strange that they appeared in a rush inside the castle walls. I forgot to investigate further since then.”

I opened my mouth to ask about that fact.

“Hey, Hadel.”

Hadel’s eyes sparkled with enthusiasm as he stood up.

“Should we start practicing right away?”

“Wait a moment. We don’t have firewood. That’s why we only made that much back then and stopped.”

“Oh, right. Should we go chop some wood, then?”

Goodness. Enthusiasm is great, but…

It felt like when I first learned magic. I pinched Hadel’s cheek.

“Oogoo oogoo, you’re so cute.”

“……?”

Hadel made a puzzled expression, not understanding English. Finding it even cuter, I couldn’t resist and ended up planting a kiss on Hadel’s nose.
