Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

In my previous world, many things were part of people's everyday life.

In this world, however, there are many things that haven't been thought of yet.

Milkshakes, Burgers, and pizza are the things that were part of my daily life.

Many eastern delicacies could be found here but they are mostly on the eastern continent.

'Dad is an awesome cook so I didn't really have to remember about those things. The delicious things I ate until now were things that I could only rarely see. But...'

"Making those things here ain't bad either. I can try those things again too."

My mom sometimes likes things that are unique.

But she mostly prefers ordinary things. So something unique and simple.

'Let's try burgers and fries.

That will be the most simple and unique thing.

And that will also be something a little boy might be able to think about. If I make something too unique, it might not fit appropriately. Well, I am quite certain mom and dad wouldn't think too much of it but I don't feel comfortable about that.'

I thought as I continued thinking about the preparations. There were many things dad and I had to do for that day. This was my first time preparing for the party and I didn't want to make any mistakes. So everything had to at least be perfect.

Then something suddenly crossed my mind.

"But, won't that be too simple? There should be something else too."

If I only make some burgers and fries then there will be something definitely missing. Something like... a dessert at the end of the meal.

"Hmm..."

I closed my eyes and thought deeply about it.

And after some time, a light clicked in my mind.

"Yup. I will be the first person on the continent to make 'ice cream'. Well, the idea is new from this world's point of view, but I know the aristocrats will love it."

There are many sweets in this world that are unique to it.

There are also many things that upper society and nobility usually eat during the so-called tea parties.

But the cold sweets and brewage are not that well versed here.

'But, I can't say for certain about the current trends. I haven't ever visited any town or city.'

My family and I are stuck in this border town ever since I know. I don't know much about my parents either.

I don't even know about my own family background.

'Well, I'm not actually curious about that, not one bit.'

I believe in my parents. If they didn't tell me, then that means it's not something I should be worried about.

I shook those things from my mind and got up.

"So then. Shell we start with a list of ingredients."

Saying that I got downstairs to meet up with dad.

***

"Hmm..."

Dad stared at the piece of paper I handed him.

He was deep in thought about what special thing his son would make for his dear wife.'

'The meat is nothing special, the vegetables are also not that extraordinary except for the amount. And there is a large quantity of... milk?'

He thought for a moment but then shook his head.

"Ok. Everything will be here by tomorrow. You can do whatever you want and if you need any help just call me, and I will be there."

He smiled at me and put the list inside his pocket.

He looked confident and proud for some reason.

He then just turned around and got back to his work.

"I should get started too."

I also got ready to leave for my room. I wasn't allowed to do training so, I had to stay in my room.

I turn around but suddenly...

"Bo!"

"Kya...!"

I jumped up in surprise and almost fell down.

Mom was standing right behind me.

"Mom! Why did you do that! You say I should rest and then surprise me like this?!."

I shouted at her, with a beet-red face.

This definitely wasn't something I had expected.

She caught me totally off guard.

That was really spoooooky~.

"Oh my~. Did I surprise you that much?"

She asked with her usual mischievous smile.

She then patted my head with her warm hand and said with a worried look in her eyes.

"Ok. You can go. But don't push yourself too hard. Just call dad whenever you need it."

She was now worried about me again.

I sighed internally.

'She worries too much.'

I thought as I looked her in the eyes.

I know that it could be dangerous but, I'm learning cooking for quite a long time, so she has to understand.

'Then again, that's exactly how she is.'

I smiled back and reassured her.

"Don't worry mom. Just look forward to your special dinner."

I quietly headed back towards my room after saying that.

I could feel her eyes on my back so I quickly climbed up the stairs.

'It will be a little difficult for some days.'

***

I sat down facing the window and closed my eyes.

'Mystic Eyes'

I could feel the energy slowly getting to my upper body towards my eyes.

I slowly adjusted the output and tried to memories the feeling. Then, when I opened my eyes... I could clearly see far away.

'If I focus it like shrinking and adjusting a telescopic lens...'

"Ugh..."

I suddenly felt pain in the back of my head and the skill got canceled.

'It still needs some more practice.'

Well, I have plenty of time so that is not a problem.

But, there wasn't much time left for mom's birthday.

Fortunately, everything is also ready.

I got down to the kitchen and looked at everything that dad had prepared.

'As expected. He is good at this stuff.'

Everything was perfectly organized and the things that I requested were also managed properly.

'There is (preservation magic) on them so nothing will get damaged. And there won't be any problem with the main course. But, how do I make ice cream?'

I thought for a moment and called dad.

"Dad!"

"Yes? Do you need something?"

He quickly answered from outside.

"Come here for a moment."

I instructed him, looking at a Mana device that was used for mixing wheat and making dough.

'I have seen those antique ice cream makers and this... maybe enough.'

"Yes. What is it?"

Dad entered the room and asked with a calm tone.

I said in a quiet voice.

"You have to keep this a secret."

He looked surprised and happy all of a sudden.

"Yes. Just tell me."

He also whispered in my ears.

I slowly started speaking.

*

As I told him about the production procedure of ice cream, his expression changed from confusion, astonishment, and then surprise.

'Wow... I never thought something like THAT would be possible. This could really turn out to be amazing!'

He thought as he looked up at his son with a proud expression.

"Ok! This sounds fun! Let's get ready."

Shouting in a loud voice, he picked me up.

But then.

"What sounds fun? Tell me too~!"

Mom spoke, standing by the door.

He suddenly turned around and looked at her.

I was in his arms so I saw her too. With surprised, wide eyes.

'Did she hear anything?!'

An earthquake occurred in both of our eyes.

"No...Nothing honey. we...we were just talking about you-"

He was going to say something unnecessary so I cut him off immediately.

"Mom! You shouldn't eavesdrop. And it's a secret, so please go!"

I hurriedly shouted and signaled dad.

He too added after me.

"Yes. It's a secret so please don't disturb us!"

Mom had an astonished look.

'So, they won't tell me~? That's interesting. This clearly means Eon has something interesting for me. Not knowing it... is definitely better.'

"Ok then~. I won't disturb you. Please be careful with your work."

Saying that she left without any questions.

'That was...easy?'

I looked at my dad. He too looked a bit confused but, it seemed like he had some idea about what was going on in her head.

"Well, I don't think she will come again so we should get ready."

Dad spoke after a moment of silence.

I just nodded my head and we started the work.

The mixing device needed some modification, so I asked dad to put a sound restrictions barrier so that we could work in peace.

I sorted out ingredients for ice cream and took out a small amount for the test experiment.

Dad prepared the modified device and we put the ingredients into it one by one.

Because it was just an experimental test there wasn't any special flavor so we just let it be.

Dad used (Ice magic) to freeze the outer surface of the machine.

The rotating blades inside it were working properly.

The milk, sugar, and cream were mixed perfectly and the temperature was also maintained properly and, the ice crystals were perfect.

After roughly 30 minutes it was ready.

"Eon. Do you think it's ready? Can we eat it as it is?"

Dad asked with a confused gaze.

"Yup! Let's taste it!"

I was very excited not only because it was the first time after my rebirth I was eating it, but also because it would be the first time someone has made it into this world.

I took a spoonful of it, and quickly put it in my mouth.

The smoothness and coolness of ice cream were just... ordinary.

"Awekhum~"

It was wonderful.

But...

'Chocolate flavor is my favorite.'

I decided to make different flavors for mom's birthday.

"Hmm! It's really good! Good job Eon! We should sell these!"

Dad was also happy. He really loved this one, a new thing.

'Hmm. Well, who doesn't like ice cream.'

We enjoyed the rest with different things and dad asked me what things we could do with it.

Making different flavors, Serving in different ways, and how we can improve the efficiency of production.

I shared my opinion and some different methods of serving.

Dad was astonished by many of the things I said. He was thinking many different things at the same time and looked like he was taking mantel notes.

'It's... like knowledge from a different world.'

He thought as he looked at his son with a very affectionate look.

I, on the other hand, was thinking about the magic I would soon be learning.

'It's about time....'

I smiled with anticipation as the time passed and slowly put the last spoon of snow-white ice cream in my mouth.
