Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage

Chapter 27 27: Just A Word



"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us in the celebration of my daughter's birthday. To stuff yourselves not only in memory but also physically, we prepared some new dishes that might suit your taste buds. Please enjoy yourselves."

After the socializations, we continued the celebration until we get to the buffet. Mother just used a microphone-like magic tool that amplify her voice throughout the Great Hall.

*Clap, clap.

After Mother clapped twice, the double doors connected the kitchen open widely. Food carts coming out from the kitchen being pushed by our female servants and hired servants from a manpower company.

We have many kinds of dishes we prepared for our guests tonight. Some of them are the dishes that I recreated to this world.

"Ohh!"

After the servants complete the table arrangements and served the dishes on each table, the guests marveled at the unfamiliar dishes.

"What is this? It looks like a steak but it gives off a nice smell. Is this ground meat?"

(It's the alluring and mouth-watering hamburger steak, gentleman.)

"Hmm. Is this bread? And what is this cream-like stuff? It's sweet."

(Thank you for your compliment, lady. That was a cupcake, by the way.)

"Is this fried food? Oh, it's chicken, and coated with something."

(It's my all-time favorite battered chicken.)

"This is a fried food too. Hmm! The insides has various meat and cheese."

(Behold! Savour the greatest of the cordon bleu!)

The guests already give positive feedback on the new dishes. Common standard foods in my previous world already have a great recognition in this world. But that's not the main character of this event.

Without giving us a warning, the doors open once again. Unlike the carts that entered before, only one cart is currently pushed by a man in suit. The size of the cart was entirely different from the ones before. But the cart wasn't the thing that the guests pay heed to.

"What is that enormous thing? Is that a type of pastry?"

"That size is sufficient to feed everybody in this hall."contemporary romance

"Its size indicates that it is too tasty and want it to be devoured by everyone."

"If that's the case, that should be the main dish."

The guests started to speculate what kind of food is on the cart. They were right that it is the main course of this buffet. It has a cylindrical shape and bathe with white coating. The main course is an enormous three-layered cake.

I recreate cake into this world just to be served in my sister's birthday. I want her debut to be extra special and memorable.

"This is a new baked product that was developed by our son, Raphael. It is called a cake. Louise, if you may."

"Yes, Mother. It is a pleasure."

After being asked by Mother, my sister took a cake slice. She approached the cake and stood in front of it. With the cake slice in her right, she slowly sliced the first layer cake and cut it exactly the size of the cake slice.

"Oh! So it was baked goods. It was so soft that the knife easily went through."

"Based on the cutting, it is definitely softer than bread. I can't wait to get a taste of it."

Seeing the toothless cake slice went through the cake without sawing the cake, the guests came to a conclusion that the cake is softer and tastier than the bread.

All of the sudden, my sister speed up her cutting. She sliced the cake swiftly and cut it into equal slices more than enough to serve all the guests.

"That was fast. And she sliced it evenly with precision."

"As expected of the child of the Sword Saint."

The crowd awed by the fast cake slicing of my sister. She's better than me in sword so it was just a 'piece of cake' to her. Using the cake slice, she scoop a piece of cake and place it on her plate.

"Now that the cake was slice, everyone can now have a taste of it."

The guests one by one stood up from their sit with a plate to have a slice of cake. I heard positive response again along with satisfaction painted on their faces.

As I am serving my with a slice of cake, I bumped into someone that I know.

"You made something delicious again, Raphael."

"Yeah. It's for my sister's birthday. I am glad to see you again, Sophia."

"Me too."

This girl whose the same age as me is Sophia Raeven, our cousin and my childhood friend. She is the only daughter of our Mom's older brother. And she is someone that I had my eyes to.

She is a raven-haired beauty like Mom and Sister. But unlike them who had amethyst eyes, Sophia had beautiful emerald green gaze. Her body had begun to shape and emphasize her curves greatly compared to the girls of our age. Must be in their lineage.

"You looked so lovely in white. It compliments to your lustrous black hair and jade eyes."

"Thank you."

"Hello there, Raphael! Looks like business is blooming."

"Long time no see, Mark."

A young man suddenly joined our conversation with a plate of cake on his hand. He is Sophia's older brother and a cousin of mine. He is a twenty year old young adult.

He is tall, about five foot eight, and have a pretty face. His hazel brown hair and green eyes increases his already high charisma to the peak. He is well-dressed and behave with great confidence.

"Say Raphael, would you like to have an accomplice for selling this what you called cake? Our company is always open for you." he asked while eating his cake.

"I know you would say that, but I have a bigger picture in my mind."

"Oho?"

I have anticipated that he would asked me about the cake from the start. But I really want to have a discussion with him about the ideas that I want to implement.

"Well, I still have many ideas in my mind that I wanted to be implemented. Food recipes, magic powered items, establishments… and even a new transportation system."

"Uoooh!" both of them are in the state of fascination as I whispered the latter.

The way of transportation in this world was animal-drawn carriages and wagons. That's meant unstable and uncomfortable trip if the road was bumpy.

Stone or brick paved roads exist in this world but only available inside cities. Having more paved roads are more convenient but it requires large sum of money and enormous manpower to build.

"That's why I want your company, which had branches all over the Empire and few in the other countries, to be the one to promote and sell the products that I think of. Of course, we will share the profits."

"It seems to be a long discussion. But I am looking forward for it!"

"Me too. The profit is real!" we exclaimed as we grip our hands.

I want to promote some products and technologies from my previous life into this primitive world. To make it happen, I have to secure a connection to an influential organization to spread it throughout the world.

Our Mom's family owned business and it's not just a store but a big company. They had branches that spread out all over the Empire that granted them a surname. The company's current president is Steville Raeven, our uncle, and have his son Mark as his successor.

I have been working with them for time to mass-produce and sell the products that I made. And I am willing to negotiate with them in the future.

"As for the advanced payment…" he said then held Sophia's both shoulders, "how about having my little sister?"

"?!"

"B-brother?!"

Sophia yelled while I opened my eyes in shock as a response to Mark's suggestion.

"? What's the problem? It is mutual, right?"

"B-but…"

"…"

Sophia tried to explain but nothing came out from her mouth. I fell in silence as Mark put more oil on the fire. Not just Mark but both our families knew about our relationship status.

Four years ago, our family went to the Imperial Capital to celebrate Mark's fifteenth birthday. The moment I laid my gaze upon the little Sophia, I instantly captivated by her charm.

Since we met, we've been spending our time together talking and playing. Then we visited them every summer. Last year's summer visit, I discovered that my feelings were not one-sided, which made my sister more annoying.

"Can we talk about that later? Sophia is almost at her limit."

"Oh. Well, I guess I have to go now. See ya later." Mark rushed out off the scene with a wave.

"Then, would you like to eat some desserts? I will serve you some."

Sophia nodded as she is as red as beet out of embarrassment. She must be aware of what her brother meant to say.

We haven't talked for a while after that. Me too, was embarrassed of what Mark had said. I don't mind her being my partner. She has the qualities of a female that I need.

Like I said before, she is a raven-haired beauty like Mom and my sister, which was my preference. If I can't have my mother or my sister, why not have someone in the grey area?

We are cousins? Marrying a cousin is common in nobility to preserve the bloodline. Even some countries in my previous world allowed it. Genetic problems caused by inbreeding? My Ultra Skill Monarch of the Night can fix that. In conclusion, cousin is just a word.
