Chapter 65 of “As A Result Of Breaking An Otome Game, The Villainess Young Lady Becomes A Cheat! (Part 1)”
It was only last night that I was finally able to return to the Avi mansion after all the trouble.
I was so happy to see the faces of my father, mother, Marianna, and all the servants in the mansion.
Although I had only been away from the Avi mansion for about a week, including the trip to and from Royal Capital, I felt like I had been away for years.
Well, it was an intense week, so I guess that made me feel that way even more…
I had planned to take my time sightseeing, and eating and drinking delicious food while preparing for my brother’s entrance in the royal capital…
The situation suddenly changed after I helped Silas, who was being picked on.
In order to avoid my brother’s bad ending, which had suddenly occurred because of it, I attacked Silas first…I ended up going to the elf village, which I hadn’t planned to go to, in order to help him get revenge.
There, I disguised myself as Chris-sama’s fiancée, found Silas’s mother’s hidden ring, served Suuri juice with sleeping potion to the elf chiefs, tickle tortured them, and so on…There were a lot of things that happened, but I was really glad that we managed to resolve everything in the end.
I’m really glad that we were able to solve it in the end. Let’s keep it up!
Now that Silas was free from everything holding him back, he could follow his mother’s last words to ‘live life freely,’ but by all means, I wanted him to live life on his own without involving me.
Although I ended up helping him, I still didn’t think it was a good idea for me to get close to Silas and the other capture targets.
That said…Mira lived in the Avi household, Chris-sama and Howard came together for dungeon exploration, and even though Silas usually lived in the frontier, as long as he was helping the frontier count, I didn’t know where he would appear. My Brother can’t be helped…
After all, they’re all still close to me…
Why don’t they just go out to the other side? They’re supposed to go on a journey with the protagonist to defeat the demon beasts anyway.
Then, leaving everything to the other side, I should able to live peacefully for alcohol and Ricardo-sama.
“Ah. I want a drink…”
I was currently sitting on the sofa in my room, drinking a cup of tea by myself.
I gulped down a mouthful of tea, let out a big sigh, and looked up at the sky.
I can’t wait until I’m old enough to drink…
Lately…
‘Ice cream, ice cream, ice cream, ice cream’—that’s all I’ve been hearing lately.
It’s not ice cream I was trying to spread, it’s alcohol…how did this happen?
It was definitely all a spreading campaign by the ‘ice cream devotees.’
Whenever they want to talk about ice cream, I have to make it.
“You can’t make it?”
If I could resist my brother’s eyes, I probably wouldn’t have made it in the first place…
I like ice cream too, and I’m glad it’s becoming more popular among people. I’m also glad that it’s becoming more readily available on the streets.
However…ice cream doesn’t satisfy my craving for alcohol.
Just a little…I’m wondering if there’s a way for children to enjoy alcohol…
It’s not possible to drink it directly, but if it’s inside something, it will dilute the alcohol a bit.
Something tasty with alcohol…
Savarin wouldn’t work…other than that…cakes, baked goods…ice cream…
Hmmm…I guess I had been influenced by the devotees.
I almost looked away, but then came back to myself.
…Huh? But wait a minute.
Ice cream! That will work!!
Speaking of ice cream with alcohol…
“Rum Raisin Ice Cream.”
This way, even a kid like me can legally consume alcohol!
Once I think of something, I work fast.
I put my teacup on the table and rushed to the kitchen.
***
-Knock- -knock- -knock-
I knocked and tried to open the kitchen door until someone from the inside opened it for me.
“Huh? Charlotte-sama. Is something wrong?”
It was Nobu-san, who was near the door.
Nobu-san was one of the three chefs in the Avi household, and was a valuable resource who could use magic.
As I recall, he was 25 years old and single. He was a thin and slender young man with brown eyes and auburn hair.
He seems to have mastered the soda water and ice cream making in a short time.
Nowadays, he was in charge of desserts and added color to the ends of our daily dinners.
“Hello, Nobu-san. I’d like to try something. May I borrow your cooking space?”
“Of course, that’s fine, but…is it a new ice cream?”
Nobu-san’s brown eyes glittered as he invited me inside.
…How did he know?
“Uh…yes. Something like that.”
I replied lightly…or rather reluctantly.
By the way, Nobu-san was also an ice cream devotee…
“Please let me help you!!”
“No, thank you!”
I immediately cut him off.
“Why not…?”
A twenty-five-year-old man should not be crying over ice cream…
No more already…It can’t be helped.
“Yes, yes. I’m just kidding. There are a lot of things I don’t understand, so it would be very useful if you could help me.”
When I said that and smiled, Nobu-san’s face, which had been crying, instantly brightened up.
“Yes, I’d be happy to!”
How simple. I mean, does he really like ice cream that much?
I decided to give up on trying to understand.
“Do you have any dried fruits? And perhaps some liquor for sweets?”
I quickly asked…
“What is dried fruit?”
…,Apparently there were no dried fruits in this world.
It’s a shame considering that baked goods were a mainstream in this world.
On the contrary, were fresh fruits just so easy to obtain that the idea of making them into dried fruits was not born?
Hmmm. If we don’t have it, then I’ll just have to make it.
“What kind of fruits do we have?”
“Today’s fruits are over here.”
Nobu-san led me to a table with a lot of colorful fruits on it.
“May I taste some?”
“Yes, please do.”
In this world, I can’t tell what a fruit tastes like just by looking at it.
You don’t have to eat a tangerine shaped like an apple to know it’s a tangerine. That’s what I mean.
Speaking of rum raisins, those are grapes…
First, I picked a piece of fruit in the shape of a purple grape and tasted it.
The fruit popped.
…This tastes like peach.
“That’s a mosque.”
Nobu-san said, smiling.
Dried peach fruit. I’ve never had it, but I’ve heard it’s delicious. They look like grapes, so that’s decided!
With that in mind, I chose the next one.
As I reached for a yellow lemon-like fruit, Nobu-san said he would cut it into pieces so that I could eat it easily.
I took his word and asked him to cut it into pieces. I was afraid to take a bite, imagining the unique sour taste of lemon, but…
…it’s not sour.
This tastes like a pineapple!
It was like a ripe pineapple, sweet and delicious.
“That’s a Repple. It’s delicious, isn’t it?”
I nodded my head in agreement with Nobu-san.
I added this one to my list of dried fruits.
Next, I reached for an orange apricot-shaped fruit. I asked him to cut it in half and bit into it.
This is…
“That’s an Armas.”
It’s a grape!!!
With this, I could make rum raisins.
The only thing left to do was to find the rum…
I’m not sure if it really existed in this world where alcohol was scarce…
If there wasn’t any, I guess I’d just have to make it…?
The raw material for rum was sugar cane, I think.
If I could find the ingredients, I might be able to make it…
“Nobu-san, do you have rum?”
“Rum? I’ve never heard of it. What is it used for?”
“It’s a liquor used for drinking and making sweets…”
I see. Just as I was about to give up on finding any…
“I don’t know anything about rum, but there is a liquor called ‘Mei’ that is used for sweets.”
“Mei?”
“Please show me!”
The liquor in the clear bottle was caramel colored and had a unique sweet smell.
Oh…this is rum.
It smells just like the stuff I smelled a few times when making rum raisins.
“…Do you not normally drink Mei liquor?”
“Drink Mei normally?”
Nobu-san opened his mouth curiously.
Rum could be drunk normally, but from his reaction, I can tell that Mei liquor was only used for confectionery and not for drinking.
“No, nevermind…May I use the Mei liquor and the fruit from earlier?”
“Yes, please do.”
With Nobu’s help, I moved the ingredients to the kitchen table in the corner.

T/N: To be honest, I’ve never tried rum raisin flavored anything before. This makes me want to go out and have some!
