We all worked hard to puree the chestnuts. "There! Finally got 'em all pureed!" Ace said excitedly because he was finally done "My arm is killing me..." Deuce complained. you kind of felt bad for the boy so you stared rubbing his arm "th-thanks N/n" Deuce said with a slight blush and you just smiled at him "Nice work. It'll be all the sweeter for your pain!" Grim sniffed the air "The smell alone already has me droolin'..." "I just need to add butter and sugar to the chestnut paste, and a sensible splash of oyster sauce - that's my secret ingredient!" Trey shook the bottle a bit. "Oyster sauce?!" Ace and Deuce said at the same time "uuh Trey not to question your baking ability's..... actually yes i am questioning it" you said with confusion while Trey tried to keep a straight face "Yep. The umami of the oysters gives the cream a deep, savory flavor. I use this one here: Walrus-brand Young Oyster Sauce. All the best bakers use it in their tarts." you widened your eyes further and shook your head 'nope not gonna eat that monstrosity '


"Really? But isn't oyster sauce like, super salty?" Deuce asked "Some folks put chocolate into curry, don't they? Maybe it's the same idea." Ace shrugged. until Trey couldn't take it anymore and laughed his ass off "Pfft... Ah ha ha ha! I'm totally lying! No one in their right mind would put oyster sauce into a pastry." Ace looked offended "What?! So you were just yankin' our chain?" Trey nodded still laughing "Ah ha ha! I mean, if you'd used your brain like Y/n, you'd have realized how ridiculous it was! Let that be a lesson to you. Don't believe everything you hear." Grim pouted "Feh. And here I thought that human was actually somewhat decent." Trey went back to prepair the Tart "Next, I'll put in the cream... Oh!" Trey exclaimed "What's wrong" Ace asked "You guys gathered so many chestnuts that we may have overdone it with the chestnut paste. I don't think we have enough cream to mix in."

Deuce nodded "Then I'll go buy some. Do they sell it at the school store?" trey nodded "They sell pretty much everything, so... probably. Can I have you pick me up a few other things? I need two cartons of milk, two packs of eggs, some muffin cups, five cans of fruit..." you tapped Deuce on the shoulder "i will go with you..you can't carry all that on your own " he nodded "thank you Y/n" "Then I'm comin' too! I'm getting dizzy from all this stirrin'. I need a break!" "okay grim but you have to stay on my shoulder " Grim nodded in agreement.


Mister S's mystery Shop

you entered the building were the shop is 'woah this is amazing' "Hello, can I get some he- Whoa. This shop is wild. They have crystal skulls, grimoires, taxidermied... Uh, I don't even know what animal that is!" you looked at it "i don't know either" "You think they really sell cream here?" Grim questioned from your shoulder. then suddenly a man popped up "Greetings, my stray imps, How fare you today? Welcome to Mr. Sam's Mystery Shop. What among my humble selection interests you? A charm from a secluded land? The mummified remains of an ancient king? A cursed tarot card?" Mr. Sam looked at Deuce and then at you. his eyes widened slightly when he saw the amulet of Caliban around your neck but quickly regain himself when grim stared talking.

"Myah! I wasn't expectin' this kinda selection." you nodded "Um, we wanted to buy all the items on this list..." Deuce gave the list to mr. Sam "Ring up two cans of tuna while you're at it!" you looked at the Cat on your shoulder "no tuna for you mister " Grim pouted "What's this? Cream and eggs and... Quite the sacchariferous list! I'll get everything for you." "Whoa... He really does stock that stuff, huh?" Deuce said surprised. after a little while mr. Sam came back with everything "Here you go. It's pretty heavy... Are you sure you can carry this? Luckily for you, our 1/100th size flying saucers are 30% off today. Perfect for carrying groceries!" Grim was really interested in that "Ooh, lemme see! That sounds awesome!" but Deuce shot it down immediately "We're fine, thank you. Let's go, Grim." "Myah! I didn't realize today was National No Fun Allowed Day!" then sam spoke up "hey missy could you stay for just a few seconds" you nodded and gave Deuce two of the lightest bags "wait outside i will be right there" you turned to look at grim "Grim stay with Deuce" grim grumbled but said fine.
