Bonding Time With Mommy

As expected of Emilia who loves sweets almost as much as I do, the quality of all the sweets she prepared were perfect~

I did hear Emilia muttering "Money~ Money~ This is going to get me so much money~" in the corner when I was done though.

I noticed that no one else was inside the room with us, not even the old man or the patissier from before was here. 

Seeing Emilia's current state where she's inspecting the scales while muttering to herself, I think she had instructed them to leave the room just now or something.

Walking up to her, I tapped her on the shoulder which caused her to jump in surprise at the contact, going so far as to leap out of her seat to drop into a crouch with her hand on the handle of her blade.

"O… Oh… Lady Aster. Please don't surprise me like that. I'm a little jumpy when it comes to things like this…"

"Ah, because of those assassins right?"
