Chapter 64: The Sweetness of Happiness

"Let me try it too," Ishii saw the fun and joined in.

Senju next to her also wanted to help, but was directed by Chito to add water.

The three people kept chanting "knead", and their accents changed several times.

"Oh, it seems to feel different." The powdered ingredients were kneaded into a dough, and Chito also tried it, "It's true, it became sticky."

"It's so interesting..." the three people kept kneading there, and then hummed there.

Finally, the three pulled the dough into the air, and these powdery ingredients had turned into a huge piece of dough.

"Hahaha! It's so sticky!" Yuuri exclaimed with excitement while pulling the dough, and Chito shared in her satisfaction.

"Well, that's good." Chito placed a portion of the dough on an iron plate from the oven, saying, "Just flatten it and cut it now."

Chito then began to flatten the dough on top, and then Yuuri cut pieces with a dagger.

Yuuri took some and kneaded them into several shapes, including fish, bread, apples, and a small mushroom.

Senju looked at her and muttered, "I hope it tastes delicious."

After Ishii saw these shapes, she also went over and pinched a few airplanes.

Senju also went over and shaped the dough into a few small animals.

However, if Senju didn't say anything, no one would be able to recognize what these were.

Those round long strips should be either a snake or a dragon, the one with its four legs in the air was probably a piglet.

After pinching a few times, Senju stopped.

Laughter filled the room as everyone looked at the works. Chito noticed there was some sugar left, so she sprinkled it on, and then they all put them in the oven.

"Keep an eye on the heat," Chito said, checking the oven and sharing tips. Meanwhile, Yuuri kept asking if they were ready.

After a while, Chito stopped the fire in the oven, and Yuuri stood beside her and asked carefully, "Is it done?"

Chito and Yuuri donned gloves, carefully retrieving the hot iron plate. A delightful aroma enveloped them.

"It smells amazing, like it's sparkling," Yuuri exclaimed, holding up a piece with sugar dots glistening on it.

Chito, a bit skeptical, asked, "Is it slightly burnt?"

Senju and Ishii joined them. Senju, admiring the works, remarked, "Chii-chan's craftsmanship is impressive. These should be called snacks."

Chito blushed at the compliment. Yuuri, a bit confused, shifted her focus to the snacks in her hand, saying, "Snacks? Then, next, ahh~ mhpp~."

Yuuri took a bite of a piece of snack and tasted it.

A happy expression appeared on her face, and the three next to her also started to taste it.

Feeling the sweet and delicious taste in their mouths, the four of them exclaimed happily at the same time, "It's so delicious~"

After munching on one piece, Yuuri noticed leftover dough in the basin and began to dream, "We've got ingredients left. Baking them in one go would last us a whole year."

Chito, with a complicated mood, complained, "No, no, no. You're too naive."

Senju chimed in, "There's plenty of raw materials. We can make more for the whole year, and there's still a lot of taro left."

"See? Senju agrees with me! Okay, let's bake all these taros!" Yuuri started to drool, but Chito still complained, "The sugar and salt are not enough."

"Great, let's use all these and see how much we can bake!" Yuuri shouted for a while, then continued to eat the snacks, with a cheerful and happy smile on her face, "It's delicious, this is so sweet ahh~"

"Because there's a lot of sugar sprinkled on it."

"Hey, sweetness really makes people feel happy." After Senju heard Yuuri's words, he found that Yuuri was as wise as a fool and always told the truth she knew inadvertently.

Chito looked at the happy expressions of the people around her, and after taking a bite of the snack, she also had a happy face, "Hmm~."

The four sat next to these machines and slowly tasted the snacks, and a sweet trickle emerged in their hearts.

After a while, everyone prepared to bake the rest.

This time Yuuri used her super artistic ability, not only pinching them into shapes like fish, but also pinching the face of the person she had seen before, "This is grandpa~ This is Kanazawa~ this is Ishii~ this one is Senju~ this is me~ and this one is Chii-chan!"

Looking at these very vivid snacks, everyone laughed.

After eating a few pieces of snacks, Senju put away the remaining snacks, and Yuuri was full of energy and prepared to make all the taro on them into snacks.

"Okay, let's turn those taros into snacks, oh!"

"Oh!" Chito and Ishii also shouted.

But in the end, everyone still picked the taro and gave it to Senju.

Looking at the taro in his inventory, Senju smiled bitterly. It seemed that taro would be the staple food for a while.

After Senju collected the taro, he asked Ishii to use bone meal again.

Immediately, there were a lot of taro on it. Senju was relieved and handed her ten bone meal. "With these, you should never run out of food for a while. Also, I'll just install some tie rods and water sources when I get back to the base.

(T/L: Tie rods?)

"Indeed, with these, I will be fine here."

When the four people came outside, it was already dark outside.

Everyone returned to the helicopter and lay down on their seats. As everyone did a good job, the robot also started working.

[Please confirm the target and whether to return.]

"Is it okay to fly at night?" Ishii was a little worried.

The robot replied calmly,

[There is no problem at all. The radar can clearly detect the flight trajectory and can also detect the surrounding situation at night.]

[Activating Night Vision Mode] the four found that the window became brighter, and they could clearly see what was outside.

"Okay then, let's return." As the order was given, the helicopter flew back to the base.

Chito was holding snacks on the helicopter with a happy face, completely forgetting that she was afraid of heights.

After getting off the plane, Chito and the others returned to the inside of the base first, while Senju worked on his farmland outside.

The crops were already mature, and Senju harvested them in a short while and then replanted them.

After returning to the base, Senju found that everyone was waiting for him.

Looking at them, Senju had to take out some snacks and they cheered.

Seeing Chito and Yuuri leaving cheering, Senju decided to take advantage of the moment to help Ishii transform the base and replace technological energy with the "Interface's" 'magical energy'.
