"Ooooo, did you guys make croissants?" Before anyone answered, I picked up a steaming croissant and bit into it.
Chewing the dough, tasting the flaky and buttery flavour. My eyes went alight and it seemed as if I had found the meaning to life.
Isaac asked warily: "Is it good?"
I materialised a plate and began stacking them onto the plate, "No no, their terrible, there's no need for you to try it at all."
"That's not really convincing when you're just piling them on your plate! Gimme that!" Isaac yelled at me before snatching one out of my plate.
He took a bite and his life seemed to change, "Terrible my ass! These are the best croissants that I've had in my entire life! Who made this, mother?"
Evelyn responded to his query by pointing to the side at the women next to her.
Isaac: "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention when Simon came here. Who are you?"
"I am Velzard."
"Oh Velzard- wait Velzard, as in the true frost dragon Velzard, that Velzard?" Isaac asked in astonishment.
" Yes, that Velzard." Velzard said, understanding the magnitude of her identity.
Isaac looked at Velzard and then to me and then back to Velzard, "I'm sorry again but what's your relationship with my… brother." Isaac said, trying the new form of address for me.
"Oh, I'm his lover." Velzard said with pride.
Isaac looked back at me, "Hold on a minute." Isaac then pulled me to the corner of the room and whispered to me, "Bro, are you telling me that you got a dragon waifu."
Simon: "Of course I do, I got that dragussy. I'm living up in this isekai life."
Isaac: "… I have never been more jealous and proud of you at the same time. Let me guess, you also got a harem of beautiful women at your side."
Simon: "Naw, I shelved that idea. I lost interest in it. Once you've lived long enough, having multiple lovers just seems to be more of a hassle and when you find someone you love and want to spend the rest of your life with."
"And I would kill him if he did that!" Velzard said fed up and listening to everything we've been saying.
"Yeah, that too- have you been listening to us the whole time?" I asked the dragon who appeared out of nowhere.
Isaac: "I'm so jealous of you dude and I expect compensation."
Simon: "Awe, what do you want my dear old friend?"
"Give me all of those, ye bastard." Isaac said while pointing to the plate filled with croissants.
"I shall never yield this glorious bounty to the likes of you bitch." I said with theatrical flair.
" FROM HELLS HEART, I STAB AT THEE!" Isaac responded in kind and unsheathed a sword.
" You'll never take me alive!" I said and then run at a wall.
My body broke through the wall and created an exaggerated cartoony imprint of me running. Isaac chased me down and created an equally exaggerated imprint right next to my own.
"You'll give me those damn croissants whether you like it or not!" Isaac yelled at me which alerted alot of people on the streets.
"MHMMMMMHMMH!!" I tried to yell back while I had a croissant in my mouth and running with a plate full of croissants in my hands.
And for the rest of the day, the streets were filled with angry shouts as two men were chasing each other across the entirety of the Sarion dynasty… all for a plate fucking croissants.
When Elmesia got the report, she immediately paid a visit to the Rosenthal mansion.
————————————————
"Eve, please explain what's going with those two? I already know those are your two boys from two different worlds so there's no point in lying about it." Elmesia sat across from Evelyn.
These two were already quite friendly with each other, thus Elmesia didn't feel the need for formalities… nor evens the need to invite herself in ahead of time.
"Has your intelligence not given you the report on the situation?" Evelyn asked confused by her query.
"Yes they did." Elmesia took out the report, "Apparently one of them was chasing the other with a sword while the other was running away with a plate full of croissants. I assume that croissants is euphemism or code for something secretive. Are you running some sort of secret operation that I should know about?"
"El, There's no secret operation going on." Evelyn said.
"So then what was the ruckus about in the first place?" Elmesia asked, getting extremely impatient.
But Evelyn didn't panic when facing her bosses impatients. Evelyn just stared down at her friend, waiting for her to figure it out by herself.
Seeing the expression on Evelyn's face, she finally figured it out, " Eve? Please don't tell me those two created a nation wide panic… over a plate… of FUCKING PASTRIES?"
Seeing Elmesia's face contort in anger, Evelyn struggled to stifle her laughter, " I'm so sorry El but that really is the what happened."
Suddenly, both of them heard two male voices singing. Their distant voices growing nearer and nearer.
"🎵🎶 Cause maybe I know what my heart desires. Maybe I'll lead with a passionate fire. Cause baby I know that I'm destined to FLLLLLLLLY! But if I hadn't earned a dollar, what would you think of your dear daughter?Would it be pity or dishonor to ENSUUUUE? And if I failed to earn the ribbon, how could I ever be forgiven? Tell me what love would still be given from YOOOOUUUU! 🎶🎵"
Then they entered the room and Elmesia saw as me and Isaac walked in with plates stacked to the ceiling with croissants, muffins, Danishs and more.
"Hello Elmesia, nice to see you again." I greeted so vibrantly that I blinded everyone in the room with my mood alone.
"AND YOU…YOU COME INTO MY NATION AND-" Elmesia tried to scold me but then found a muffin stuffed into her mouth.
"Why the hell is there so much pastries?!" Evelyn was astonished at the sheer scale of pastries in our hands.
" Velzard is kinda on a spree and mass producing pastries."
I noticed that Elmesia had taken the muffin out and glared at me, " Elmesia, you wanna stay for some pastries?"
" You know what? Sure."
