l-chan on the head, and she exploded with redness.

“Y, yeshh!”
“Ma, Mariel-san.
Let’s go do the work in the kitchen, okay?”
“Y, yewsss…”

I lead Mariel-chan, who was staggering around, to the kitchen.
I wonder if she’s okay, since she’s mumbling stuff like, “The destructive power of a hunk’s head pats is too strong…” next to me.

“Mariel-san! Do your best.”

I put a piece of lettuce in Mariel-chan’s hand, and she started shaking.
Her eyes are unfocused!?

“Co, cooking… dark magic… yeah…”

Mariel-chan, get a grip!

“Mariel-san, that is a material.
You were going to make a skirt with many frills with it, remember?”

I shook her around, and Mariel-chan, startled awake, stared at the lettuce in her hands.

“The theme is a green fairy… alright.
Cristea-san, can you share a bit of the potato salad you make with me? Meanwhile, I will examine the materials I could use!”
“Y, yeah, got it!”

I made the potato salad with the help of Kurogane, gave it to Mashiro to cool it down and handed it to Mariel-chan.

“Thank you very much… here I go!”

Mariel-chan’s eyes seemed to sparkle, or was it my imagination… it wasn’t?
She used a spoon, a knife, and a spatula alternatively while molding the potato salad like a torso.
She used the lettuce to decorate it like a layered dress, and wrapped thinly sliced carrots above it like a rose corset.
She then stuck thinly sliced cucumbers onto the back of the torso to make it look like a fairy’s wings…

“… And done!”

While I was frying the Cockatrice, she finished the fairy-dress salad.

“W, wonderful…! Mariel-san, you can do it when you try!”

I exclaimed, and Mariel-chan turned to me with a serious face.

“No, this is not cooking, but modeling.
If I had a sculpting knife, I could have made the bare body more figure-like, but this is my limit for now…!”

Eh, why do you look so frustrated, Mariel-chan…?
