"There, there she is!"

"The wanted woman is over there!"

While staying still in one corner, others seemed to have caught her. When Luana looked panicked as she looked at the crowd, Gerald clicked his tongue.

'All this is because of the duke, so what's good about following him?'

Unlike Luana, the duke looked at the people running with a calm look. As the person who made the wanted sign, it was easy for him. Still, he hated the sight. For now, he needed a place to talk to avoid this commotion.

"Follow me."

He then strode ahead. The Duke tried not to budge from the spot, but Luana pulled him.

"Let's go."

'Why are you pulling me?'

The duke questioned, but looking at Luana's panicked expression, The place Gerald headed to was a house he had prepared for just in case. The small house in the corner of the alley looked shabby on the outside, but the inside was different.

As soon as he entered, Gerald took off his coat and sat on the sofa.

"Sit down."

The duke sat across from him with an unwilling expression. He is still holding Luana's wrist, so she sits beside him.

"Umm, would you let go for a moment?"

Luana spoke carefully, but he pretended not to hear.

"I'm going to bring you some tea."

"We don't have any ingredients to make tea here, Luana."

"It's okay because I've bought something."

Fortunately, she didn't miss the shopping basket. Luana put down her shopping basket and gently tapped the duke's arm with her free hand.

"Then let's go together."

It doesn't make any sense. Eventually, Luana and the duke stood in a small kitchen.

"You're not a kid. What are you doing?"

No, to be precise, there were three of them in the small kitchen. Gerald followed them with eyes full of rage. The duke was not particularly old, but in Gerald's eyes, Luana seemed to be the only one who was a kid. Luana smiled awkwardly, placed the duke and Gerald behind her, and pulled the ingredients out of her shopping basket.

When Luana took the cacao beans out of her bag, Gerald pretended to know.

"You're going to make Elanya's favorite food."

On the other hand, the duke was still looking at Luana with a sullen face. The face seemed to ask who Elanya was.

"My mother."

Luana, who explained briefly, took a deep breath with the cacao beans in her hand. She wishes the duke and Gerald were a little far away, but there is no sign of that.

'So what can I do? I have no choice but to cook like this.'

Usually, witches make their own spells to use magic. However, she decided to copy her mother's magic, as she wasn't confident she would create all the magic she needed for her vast culinary skills.

"Be sweet."

When she whispered a magical word into the cacao beans, it was enveloped in light, and the shape disintegrated and became black powder. She used her pinky to taste a little; it tasted familiar.

Luana was going to exclaim her excitement as she took out three cups and filled them with hot water. Then, she mixes the water with sugar and the cacao powder, and it's done! A bit of bitterness is left, but it tastes similar to modern cocoa!
