Just as Furina had said, for the past four hundred and eighty-nine years, she had also been observing Yuto's eating habits.
As for why... it was because people would always take a few extra glances at the people or things they cared about, so... Furina silently noted down some of Yuto's small habits.
And now, these little habits have come in handy!
Thinking of this, a triumphant smile appeared on Furina's face, as if she wanted to say that she had won today's love war.
Looking at the young girl who was slightly tilting her head, Yuto smiled faintly, and then placed the cakes he had made in his spare time in front of her.
"The work at Jingshui Court went very smoothly today, which means I don't have much work to do, so... I've returned to my other identity~"
Hearing this, Furina was slightly stunned, and then asked with some confusion:
"Another... identity?"
However, as soon as she asked this question, Furina seemed to suddenly realize something. She looked at the cakes in front of her, then at Yuto sitting beside her, and muttered softly:
"What kind of cake chef sleeps with his employer every day…"
Hearing this, Yuto chuckled and shook his head, then placed the exquisite cake, which only Furina in all of Fontaine could eat, in front of her.
"Come and try it. You haven't had a good cake in a whole week. Eat a few more pieces today to make up for it~"
Yuto said while forking a piece of cake and placing it near Furina's mouth, signaling her to open her mouth.
"Ah~"
Looking at the cake emanating a sweet aroma, and then at Yuto, who was coaxing her like a child, Furina's little face flushed slightly. She took a small bite of the cake, contentedly accepting Yuto's feeding.
Feeling the familiar aroma of cream and the rich layers of the cake base, a look of happiness and intoxication involuntarily appeared on Furina's face.
The happiness was because it was Yuto's "limited edition" for her, and also because it was his feeding.
And the intoxication... was naturally also because of Yuto's exquisite pastry skills.
Looking at Furina's rich facial expressions, a smile also involuntarily appeared on Yuto's face.
However, just as Yuto was about to reach out and rub Furina's little head to convey the overflowing love in his heart... a sausage appeared at his mouth.
Looking at the smoked sausage, coated with a thick sauce, that suddenly appeared in his sight, Yuto blinked slightly, momentarily unable to react.
Yuto looked in the direction from which the sausage was offered, and saw Furina's slightly raised arm and her little face stained with some cream.
As if noticing Yuto's gaze, Furina once again moved the fork with the sausage towards Yuto's mouth, signaling him to open his mouth.
Seeing this, Yuto smiled helplessly, and then, like Furina, contentedly opened his mouth and accepted her feeding.
From then on... Yuto and Furina ate this meal, taking turns feeding each other.
And the only one who witnessed all of this... was the cute Little Sanhua.
But what could it do? It was just a harmless, cute cat.
Little Sanhua: So I was also part of your play?
...
Furina looked at Yuto, who was tidying up the kitchen, and tilted her head slightly, as if she had remembered what she originally wanted to ask.
So she tiptoed closer to the kitchen, looking at Yuto busy in front of the sink. Just as she was about to open her mouth to ask, Yuto spoke:
"Fufu, I saw you bought a lot of flour, cocoa beans, and almonds. Do you want chocolate cake? I'll make it for you later."
Hearing this, Furina was slightly stunned, and then gently shook her head.
"No, I want to formally learn how to make cakes from you, so that... I won't have to trouble you every time I eat cake."
Yuto was first stunned when he heard this, then he placed the washed plates on the rack beside him, and while wiping the water from his hands, he turned around and said:
"How can you say it's trouble? As your lover, it's my duty to make you things you like to eat.
As your specially hired pastry chef, it's my duty to make you cakes. How can you say it's trouble?"
Yuto said this while stroking Furina's little head, then he spoke like coaxing a child:
"Since Fufu sees herself as my future wife, then I naturally have to see myself as Fufu's future husband, don't I?"
"Working outside is my responsibility as Assistant Administrator, and taking good care of you is also my duty, something I should do as your lover, as your future husband."
"So... there's no such thing as trouble."
At this point, Yuto paused slightly, then gently held Furina's small hand, examining it carefully under the light until Furina's face was a little red before he spoke:
"What's more... I don't want these little hands to get burned or hurt from making cakes."
"Of course, if my lovely Fufu wants to make cakes with me... I am naturally willing~"
Looking at Yuto's gentle expression, Furina pursed her lips slightly. Just as she was about to say something... the room door was knocked without warning.
"Excuse me... does Ms. Furina live here?"
Clorinde's somewhat cool voice came from outside the door, as if she had something to discuss with Furina.
Hearing this, Yuto and Furina looked at each other in perfect understanding, exchanged a simple glance, and then nodded in unison, instantly reaching an agreement.
Yuto continued to tidy up the kitchen, while Furina went to open the door for Clorinde.
—Since Clorinde had chosen to knock, it meant she had already confirmed that Furina lived there.
If she didn't open the door... it might cause some unnecessary misunderstandings and trouble.
With this thought, Furina slowly opened the door. Looking at Clorinde standing outside the door, Furina blinked slightly, then softly asked:
"Clorinde, is there something you need me for?"
Clorinde nodded, then handed an invitation to Furina, and said softly:
"Lord Neuvillette, Miss Navia, and Mr. Lyney and I have jointly prepared a... banquet for you. We hope you can attend."
