In the kitchen by the dining room, I stood before the most lovable being in the world.

Long hair like the night sky, gem-like red eyes shining in the yellow lights of the kitchen.

Wearing a small pink kitchen apron in her gorgeous black dress, she stood on a small table in the kitchen.

Smiling at me like my reaction was funny.

"Big brother~! You are funnnny~!" She giggled in the most beautiful voice and I could help but thank nature for letting me see such miracles.

And miraculously, this was just 'the first time' I was seeing her like this.

My eyes were shining in admiration, and I covered my mouth with both of my hands to cover the funny smile filled with awe.

"But, sweetie~. You look so adorable~. We can't help it~!" Rein said with the same feeling and expression as me.

Dad and grandmother can't help their smile while seeing the three of us and Anna didn't mind this one at all.

"Hehehe. Big sister and big brother are cute~ too! But Anna wants to make the dessert first~. Everyone is waiting for us~!" she shouted and jumped from her small table, which made her almost as tall as Zoe.

This little one... just how smart was she?

Taking a long breath and claiming my heart that was beating faster than ever once again from her cuteness, I looked at everyone.

"So, we will be making a cake-like thing that's eaten when it is still hot called <Brownie>. And something just like ice cream, but it would be more like ice cream foam called <Mousse>."

These two were some of the most famous sweets in my past life and I enjoyed them just like ice cream.

Well, there were things like them already in this world, so I didn't actually think much about making them, but now that we had this special occasion, it was the most perfect thing to try.

Everyone was looking forward to it and even now, they were watching us through surveillance devices in the kitchen.

It was like a live cooking show or something for them, but, well; I do what I had to do.

Grandmother was the best cook in my home and her classic food was famous throughout the empire.

Though her recipes were not easy to make and a select few could actually do them properly, she loved just how simple things I had come up with that everyone can eat at any time they wanted.

There had been many changes in the empire these past five years and I knew many of them because of mom and the new kind of food introduced to the world.

Though this was just normal food, just how everyone liked it was a real thing and though 'I' held the rights to the name and creation of the things sold in mom's food shops, the recipe wasn't that difficult at all.

Everyone could make these things at their home and enjoy them as they sit down for a dinner like us.

It was the charm of these simple things, and there was more to it than just that.

This was a great impact on the whole continent and the way it spread in just a short five years was unbelievable in itself.

So… grandmother loved me far more than normal and not just as a grandson, but as a being that brought such changes to the normal lives of the empire.

I could see now that I was among humans. My presence has brought many changes and most of them were positive.

And I can just ignore the negative things, they were just bad to think too deeply about.

It was of the Darkside… anyway…

In one of the letters we exchanged, they wrote about how dad was teased by grandmother and grandpa when he asked for mom's hand in marriage.

Dad was a great cook, but he wasn't proficient in delicate things and preferred simple things. Dad had the gifted mastery to bring out the natural flavors of the ingredients.

So, if I had to compare these two, then I would say dad was a world-famous street chef while grandma was a professional master chef.

And I was just a food pioneer.

Anna was the best helper there could be and just her presence in the kitchen was enough to improve the efficiency of work by at least 30%.

Rein was here... well, because I wanted her here.

She was the best cook in her family, so that was it and now we had to make something fun.

The things I just talked about were common things and, just like ice cream, everyone just knew what they were.

I could make the complicated desserts my master used to make back at the tower but, they were too much for this first dinner and at this large scale.

Though I was confident I can easily make it, I can't prepare those divine things in this small amount of time.

The reason Rein was here was also because I was going to need high attribute water magic and she just happens to have it.

And though my and dad can help here, I needed her to maintain the temperature at the same time as dad use his wind magic to make 'foam' from the cream.

I knew these two would be a great pair and grandma would help me set things and plate them perfectly as I just do my thing and help them.

Nodding my head, I called them around Anna and explained things and the procedure and different results that I would be producing.

This made me remember the times' my dad, and I used to do crazy experiments with food in our kitchen.

And while I explained the things, we both can't help but remember those old days.

These unique explanations and things surprised grandmother and just like I always do, these things were simple yet refined and delicious sounding.

And although Rein was just delighted by hearing the descriptions, Anna had a watery mouth and blank eyes that just fantasized about the flavors and textures I was explaining so vividly.

'Cute~!!!' I now regained all the energy I lost while seeing Rein's grandpa's screen.

I was happy with these reactions too and we didn't waste much time starting the preparation.

This kitchen was big, far bigger than the one dad and I had back in the day but, nothing could come close to the one we had in our home at the tower.

But it was big, had all the ingredients we needed, and even some good and simple artifacts that I didn't know why the other three found difficult to use on some occasions.

Well, I had used things that looked alien if anything in the tower, so these things were nothing.

It was easy from the start. Grandma and I were making the frostings, decorations, and bases.

We had to make different flavored brownies and mousse with different bases and layers at that.

And as I always said, cooking... I loved it.

Granma was flawless in anything she did and although she wasn't a mage, the blessing she received naturally made her more than a normal human being.

Well, different from Anna, her blessing was focused on offensive attacks that directly used the power of the god that bestowed it, and... it was dangerous.

So, that was her, and then my dad, as usual, wearing the pink apron same as Anna, enjoyed mixing and heating things.

The reason we were confident in making things quickly was because of all the magic and artifacts we had.

Things were easier than ever while using them, and it didn't even take ten minutes for us to finish the preparations and move on to the major procedure.

And now... this was something 'they' can't see.

Things until now had surprised them greatly, but now, only we, the ones to make these things, could know about how these things were going to turn out to be.

A pure white light escaped from my hands, and a translucent white barrier covered the entire kitchen.

This one didn't surprise others one bit, aside from Anna liking this shiny light.

This wasn't Mana, it was my Solnova and the special warmth it carried wasn't Mana, so Rein or dad couldn't sense it but; they did see this peculiar light and as I said a while ago; they believed this was also something my Origin skill could do.

Well, preparations were complete.

"So... let's surprise everyone~!" I shouted and Anna mimicked me, lifting her first in a cheerful manner.

"Yei~! Let's give all a biiiiiig shock~!" She shouted and though her words were weird, we all agreed with her.

"Yei~!!!"
