CHAPTER 12: AN OFFICE LADY'S SHYNESS

 Due to my words, the handsome polar bear seemed surprised that his eyes widen a bit. 

But then he apologies saying that right now he's in the middle of his mission. 

That's why, leaving the door a bit, I told him why I want him to eat my dish. 

Umm...you see...it seems like I can earn some points.

"You mean to say, if I eat Isarai-sama's dish, you can earn some points and make your skill stronger?"

"Yes. I think so."

Or perhaps there's a requisite needed or that's what I have been thinking.

As I was explaining it to him, the eyes of the handsome polar bear seems to be intently looking at me.

Well it couldn't be helped if he'll reject it.

But, this morning his eyes were sparkling that's why I thought I could get a positive reply and then the handsome polar bear murmured a bit, "...that's too convenient."

Right....!

"I'm sorry. I might have been impudent" He said, apologising for what he just murmured.

It's true that, It was selfish of me to say "I can earn some points, so please eat it." and the bacon egg from this morning, there was a need and reason to check my skill and that was the reason why his eyes were sparkling and not exactly because of my cooking. 

Well I can still earn some points by cooking, little by little so I think it would be fine so I apologies to him.

But with my words, the handsome polar bear shaked his head. 

"I apologies, it seems like there's some misunderstanding. The reason why I said it was way too convenient, is not because of Isarai-sama but for myself."

... ...Convenient? For the handsome polar bear?

I tilted my head, not really understanding what he meant by it. Only to have the handsome polar bear nod in agreement. 

"For me to not only be able to eat something delicious, but for me who's in-charge of protecting Isarai-sama, there's nothing more amazing thing than this."

'This is the best (situation).'

Or so I think I heard the handsome polar bear muttered.

"The dish you cooked for me a while ago was truly delicious, if this wouldn't trouble you, Isarai-sama, then by all means please."

"Trouble you say? In fact I'm really happy that you'll eat it."

Even though his expression doesn't change much. But his eyes are truly rich in expression. As the handsome polar bear's blue eyes started to lit up and laugh as if he was relieve.

"Well if only I can get points if it's me who eats it then I wouldn't have to ask a favour to the handsome polar bear. I wonder why there's a  " Knight's smile" and no an "Office Lady's (OL) Embarrassment" and what's more the former gives you 2000 pts!

"By the way...Is your meal always like this, Isarai-sama?"

So the conversation continued just like that but the handsome polar bear saw the bread I was holding and the cold soup on the table and then a glint of killing intent appeared in his eyes.

COLD! It suddenly became like North Pole again!

"It's fine. I can normally eat it so there's not much of a problem"

"No. I am truly sorry for not being able to realise this sooner" He said as he seems to be deeply thinking that there's a grave problem with the meals being served. Normally, he's stationed outside of my room and is on standby there, that's why it's not surprising that he doesn't know about it. 

And it's because of the poorly served meals that there's a killing intent around him. Un...well that's right.

"I'll make sure to properly have a talk with your attendants." 

There's nothing wrong with his words or actions but somehow those blue eyes of his seems to have a cold glint. 

Cold. It's cold like dry ice. 
(t/n: I feel like there's two meaning here. Like Dry Ice-being colder than normal and that she just mentioned about his eyes so like Doraiaisu=Dry Ice=Dry Eyes? or i'm just overthinking it. haha)

"Um, sure I'd be happy if the meals can change but is it possible if I can just have some ingredients instead?" 

"Ingredients is it?"

The handsome polar bear tilted his head upon hearing my words and then he nodded in agreement.

"It seems like my skill can let me bring over ingredients from here so I would like to use those ingredients."

"I understand... ... Well then how about we try going to the market?" 

"Market is it?"

"Yes.  I do not know how much ingredients do we have here that are similar to Isarai-sama's world so I thought it would be better for you to see and choose it yourself."

"Is it really alright?"

I want to go! To the marketplace. I really want to go!

"Well then, let's think about the matters of your meals from hereon. To cook your own food everyday might be hard so during those time it's better to eat the one's at the palace and that when you have some free time then Isarai-sama can cook."

"Yes. Thank you very much" 

The consideration of the handsome polar bear is amazing!

I can still earn points by cooking and if I'm tired I could just eat the food from the palace.

I'm so thankful. I feel like my heart is jumping from happiness. 

"Well then, I'll go and make it"

"Yes. Well then I'll be waiting outside of the door"

I was so happy that I was smiling and then the handsome polar bear's eyes became thin and smiled at me. 

And just like that he went to the hallaway, if the handsome polar bear eats my dishes then I'm sure I'll be able to save up points earlier.

And it's such a huge relief cause with him around I don't have to keep my skill a secret and I even learned that by just eating my dish, you can become strong.

" Summon Kitchen"

Once again, with the basket of bread in my hand I warped back into the kitchen.

After placing them on the preparation table, I faced the liquid crystal and started another transaction to exchange points.

"I still have some eggs left and a pack of bacon. Right now what I'll be needing are... ..."

First is to purchase some ingredients. *gyunyu*. it's done.

And as for the cooking utensils, I got a measuring cup, a large bowl and a (skimmer mesh) deep fry strainer. 

"A, later on I have to wash the cooking utensils in order to use it again so I also need a dish washing soap and sponge"

Even though I don't have to clean or wash the places, there are times where you have to wash it, while in the middle of cooking.

Thanks to the "Knight's Smile", I still have a lot of points left.

"Alright, time to cook!"

In order to make a day (or a few days) old bread delicious! 

EUNIE: I hope you guys enjoyed it. We're almost done covering for Chapter 4 of the manga *dead* I feel like we're still so far away before we can actually catch up to the manga release of HaruParty TToTT...

I'll do my best~^^
Btw...I wonder if the handsome polar bear has some sort of 'ulterior motives' I'm getting vibes here or I'm just overthinking it?
