Chapter 846: Time For Cake
So… We couldn't go back to the hall right away as that would give it away that the entire thing was an act.
Thus, Lisa ended up dropping to a crouch and started pleasuring me with her mouth for the next half an hour or so before we finally returned.
Lisa even made a show of it by wrapping her arms around mine when we returned, leaving no room for doubt about our 'new' relationship.
Interestingly, it seems like the boys whom Lisa had wanted to cuck had already left.
Katsuki informed me that the boys all said that they weren't feeling well and thus had to leave early but we all know the real reason why they decided to leave.
She also whispered to me that they had already manipulated their memories so they had forgotten about everything that happened here, only that they attended my party.
When I asked what exactly they would remember, I was told that they only had the vague idea that they had an 'enjoyable time at the party' and that was all.
Apparently if they tried to recall any events about the party, their mind would just give them that 'good time' feeling and nothing else.
I wasn't really sure what that meant but that was what they told me.
As for the next event of the party… It turns out it was my favourite part.
"Caaaaaaake!!" I squealed, seeing the giant cake that was being pushed into the room on a cart.
The cake itself was five layers high and each layer was a different colour and each layer was intricately decorated as well, almost like each layer was a different set of sweets by itself.
I will admit the layers felt a little mismatched in design though, like it didn't feel like a single cake but just five different cakes stacked on top of each other.
Not that I'm complaining, mind you. It was just different from all the other cakes I've had in the past so it was something I noted.
I waited until the cake was pushed into the centre of the hall before I started circling around it, making noises of appreciation and wonder at the work of art that was presented in front of me.
It was so beautiful that I almost didn't want to eat it.
Almost.
The next surprise for me came in the form of Emilia joining me for the cake cutting.
Apparently a part of her special prize was that she gets to cut the cake with me and she gets to feed me with it.
I could see from her face that she didn't really care about this prize that much which made me wonder why she accepted it anyway.
As though reading my mind, she leaned over to whisper, "They said I couldn't claim the Creas unless I accept all of the prize…"
Looks like they thought of everything huh?
Well, I don't mind~ So let's cut the cake already! I wanna eat it, I wanna eat it!
Everyone watched as I picked up the absurdly big knife which I held with Emilia to slice through the layers of the cake effortlessly.
We then moved the knife over to the right to reposition it on another part of the cake before slicing through it again, leaving us with five large slices of the cake.
Emilia then took over for me where she slashed out the knife in a flash, sending all slices of the cake flying onto plates that had been prepared beforehand.
As for me, I was led by Katsuki to sit down at another table they prepared while they served the rest of the guests their slice of the cake.
"Who made the cake this year?" I asked.
Normally there would be some kind of competition between the servants to decide who would be the main chef in charge of making the birthday cake.
Most of the time it would be Mary but I believe she gave up the spot to the others this year so I was wondering who got the role.
"Odeta, Lisa, Delmare, Emilia and myself did it this year, Mistress," Katsuki answered me.
I turned to look at her with wide eyes, "Wait… All five of you did? So that means the layers…"
"Each layer was made by one of us, Mistress."
Oh wow~ Ok, that explains why there wasn't much cohesion in the design of the cake since they were each worked on by different people.
"But why the change this year? Usually it's one of the chefs who would make it?"
Katsuki gave me a serious look, "Because we wanted to, Mistress. The others also took the time to learn how to make the cake as well just for this."
Emilia then appeared beside her while balancing the five plates of cake on her arms, "Don't listen to her. I only did so because they paid me to do it. Tiara was the one who was supposed to make the fifth layer but she couldn't get it right in time for your party so I subbed in for her."
Huh… I guess I shouldn't be surprised to hear that.
Katsuki turned to me, "She agreed to do it for one Decrea, Mistress."
Emilia actually blushed, "She didn't need to know that! Forget what you just heard, Boss! Here! Your cake!!"
She placed the plates in front of me before slicing into one with a fork and stuffing the piece into my mouth.
Oh?
Mmmmm!! It's so sweet! I think I taste chocolate, raspberry and… I think that's a bit of cinnamon powder? Ohhh~ Spices! Sweet and spicy!
Oh!! There's also bits of cookies in there as well! Then there's… Hmmm? Some kind of rich creamy texture that really melts in my mouth! This is really good!!
"I would give that a nine by the way," Katsuki remarked.
"Shut up," Emilia grumbled.
"I believe you would have won even if you did it yourself instead of begging Head Maid Mary to do it."
"Excuse me? I did not beg, ok?!"
"That's not how I remembered it."
I was still so entranced by the cake that I almost did not catch the conversation happening in front of me.
From what they just said, I realised something.
"This is your cake, Emilia?" I asked.
It was actually really good! I didn't even know that she could bake so well!
I guess she only got Mary to bake the other cake to ensure there was no chance of her losing?
The cat girl hid her face with her hand as she looked away, "Ye… Yes… So wh… So what?"
"It's so good!! Won't you make it for me again some time?" I pleaded.
"I'll… I'll think about it… Anyway, hurry up and eat this!"
She shoved another piece of the cake in my mouth and I melted as the sweet taste of the cake enveloped my senses.
Ohhh~ This one is different and simple!
It's simple in the sense that there weren't any fancy ingredients used for the cake. It was just a really simple cake that was baked with eggs, flour, milk and sugar before being covered and decorated with frosting.
"Odetas's?" I asked after swallowing.
Emilia raised an eyebrow, "That's right. How did you know?"
I smiled, "It's simple and tasty… Just like her."
Emilia then sliced off another bite of cake before presenting it to me.
I didn't even need to taste it to know it was made by Delmare because of how pink it was.
Placing it in my mouth only further confirmed it because it was so sweet and made me feel all fuzzy and warm inside.
As though she already knew I figured out who made that particular layer, Emilia did not ask about my opinion of it and went ahead to feed me another mouthful of cake.
The moment the cake hit my tongue, my mind was immediately filled with absolute bliss.
It was like everything I liked had been condensed into a cake form to be fed to me.
I was so lost in that bliss that I needed a moment to realise that I had already swallowed the cake.
I did not even hesitate to turn to my Inugami maid, "That was perfect, Katsuki."
She bowed, "Thank you for the praise, Mistress. I am honoured by your praise."
Mmhmm~ Only Katsuki could make a cake like this~
Now that leaves the last cake which I already knew must be made by Lisa.
As I waited for Emilia to feed me a piece of it, the Nekomata seemed to hesitate as her fork hovered over the slice of cake.
I was just about to ask her what's wrong with it when Katsuki turned towards the other servants, "Don't serve that one." Discover hidden stories at mvl
They didn't even question her and simply served slices from the other layers instead.
No way… Don't tell me…
Lisa… Did you put aphrodisiacs into the cake that you made for me as well?!
