Chapter 53: A Future For Cheese
Lake didn't know how he felt about what Nia had said because he had enjoyed the experience but he could see how not being able to control yourself was a problem. If Millie wanted she could have made them stay like that, completely under her control, and willing to do anything for more of her food. The source of this content is N0veII_bIn
This also made Lake realize there were other bad things alchemy could do to you other than poison and it seemed he had no defense against it. Millie's food was directly messing with his head somehow, and while it was enjoyable Lake felt he was a little foolish for just letting it happen.
The careful approach would have been to excuse himself after the first bite. It would have been obvious he didn't trust her but why should he. Instead he had gotten so caught up in the food that he had eaten it all. Most of the time when someone who made something was also eating it it meant it was safe, but Millie had shown she could control herself when eating her own food and that made her more dangerous.
The only question was did she know it. This could have been an honest effort to make the best dessert possible, or it could have been a warning of things to come. Lake bet he wasn't the only one to think this about Millie. With how good her food was there should be more people here, but the only one here was Nia and they were friends.
Lake bet Millie was secretly feared for the potential her food had and it was a funny coincidence that she was probably one of the nicest people here. Lake thought this because he trusted in his people reading skills, and so far neither of them had given him anything to worry about. The odds that both of them were masters of deception were low.
This kind of made Lake feel it was ok to continue to come here every so often as long as it was random and she didn't know he was coming. On the off chance she was planning something he would be able to read her reaction when he showed up. This also made him think it might be a good idea to be more serious about alchemy.
He wanted to know how all this worked because so far he felt Alchemy was the most dangerous thing he had run into. If someone asked him if he wanted to fight a random monster, or drink a random potion he would pick the monster. That decision was even factoring in that poison couldn't kill him.
"I would recommend talking to Lucas about getting some apprentices. You see if you train them to cook your food the Guild can start to spread them around to open restaurants. Think about the amount of money the guild will earn if our food is the only one worth eating." Lake didn't actually care about the guild.
This was actually about the fact that Lucas seemed to prefer Solomon over Millie that was why he had killed the investigation. If Lake made Millie just as important Lake would be able to get rid of Solomon more easily if he ever tried anything. You could never beat someone your bosses thought was more important than you.
"I never wanted only rich people to eat my food." Lake hadn't accounted for her past when he made this plan a few seconds ago. He had already figured out that she was probably starving during most of her childhood, and Lake had heard starving was one of the traumas most people never got over.
Lake had a solution to this as well. "Who said you could only open one restaurant in every town just send some of the less talented Apprentices to open less expensive restaurants. They aren't good enough to handle expensive ingredients anyway." Lake knew he had hit the ball out of the park with this one. Now it was time for cheese.
"Will you come with us to talk to Lucas tomorrow? This was your idea and I don't want to take credit for it." It seemed Millie wasn't ready to move on yet. "Sure." Lake agreed because this idea was good enough for a reward and he wanted it. "Ok, Now that we are done talking about that I have a question. Is this made with milk?"
As soon as he asked this Millie's face turned red and she looked at the floor. "Yes, how did you know?"
"Uw, Gross, Millie!." It seemed Nia had no idea that there had been milk in the dessert. "Why would you put that stuff in there, it's for babies?" Lake guessed this was a normal reaction for someone who thought this way about milk, but Lake knew its potential. "It has a lot of fat in it, and stuff with fat tastes better."
Lake was happy to see Millie defend milk to Nia, a person who seemed to love it. "Have you thought of another way to use it yet?" Lake thought it was possible that Millie had already discovered cheese, and was yet to share it. "It's hard to work with, it keeps spoiling before I can make anything out of it. That's how I came up with freezing it."
Lake was pretty sure that it spoiling was part of the cheese making process, so in a way she was close to making cheese. "Next time that happens try to make something out of it before you throw it away." This seemed to make Millie think of something. "You mean like the bread, how I let it ferment to make it taste better?"
Lake nodded this was as much as he knew about making cheese and he wasn't even sure this was right. "Just answer one question Millie, is it from a human?" Lake laughed, it seemed Nia was really hung up on this.
