"... and you will notice that her arms only squeezed together to the limit of her chest as compared to just now so this one wasn't as good as the previous one. This is why I can only give this a six," Lisa explained.

Delmare then gestured below the table, "As for me, if I could just draw your attention to her legs. Her thighs are squeezed together which usually happens when she finds it especially tasty in creamy type desserts which this just happens to be. That's why I think this one deserves an eight."

Odeta let out a bark of laughter, "Wahaha! There's no need to overthink this! Sister Aster made a 'mmmm!' sound when she's eating that so it's definitely a good one! So it's a nine!"

Tiara simply sighed, "Zero because it's still not a cookie."

"Fufufu~ As for me, the fact that Aster was rocking a little in her chair just now showed that she was quite anticipating and enjoying each bite! That is why I agree with little Delmare and gave this one an eight~"

"And I gave it a five because while Mistress squeezed her arms, she kept her elbows pointed outwards; her thighs were squeezed together but her feet were separated; she made the 'mmm' sound but it was an octave lower than the usual one she would do; her rocking in her chair was also done in a back and forth manner instead of a side to side manner. All of this combined means that she felt there was something missing in what she ate but still sort of enjoyed it and that's why it's a five," Katsuki finished.

I was already covering my face in embarrassment.

But I will admit secretly that I do agree with Katsuki because I really did think that this cream puff that I was given wasn't as good as the previous tiramisu that I was given earlier… And I felt the cream was a little bit tasteless…

I'm more embarrassed because I am really just finding out that I act so weirdly when I eat sweets and I never knew about this before…

And to know that my girlfriends have been looking this closely at me to take note of all this just makes it even more embarrassing…

How long have they even been paying attention to these quirks of mine?

And yet… Despite knowing all this… I just can't help myself especially when the next sweet is presented to me.

Waaahh!! This one is a cake! I haven't had any cakes yet so far! And this one looks like it's a fruit cake too! Om nom nom nom~

When I was done, I found them holding up different numbers again where they then started explaining the reasoning behind their scores.

I had to hide my face in my hands again trying to hide from their observations on how I acted while I ate the sweets.

At this point, I was pretty sure that the students might have felt at least a little upset or something about their grading.

But surprisingly, no one even complained and it even looks like that they were even agreeing and thankful for their words for some reason. In fact, it looks like they were even starting to pay even more attention to how I was reacting to the sweets I have been tasting.

But despite knowing that they were looking at my reactions to eating all these sweets… I really just can't help myself and end up losing in the sweetness of the desserts I was eating.

That's why right now I've pretty much given up and just ate them as I would before hiding my face to hide my embarrassment while listening to what the girls have noted on how I reacted to each of the sweets I ate.

At this point, the highest point still went to Eldoria and Katsuki had discreetly told me that they had prizes that would be given to the contestants depending on the scores they received.

From what I could understand, there were different tiers to the prizes and the contestants would get prizes depending on which tier their points fell into.

The good news is that this meant that everyone would get prizes anyway but the bad news is that I have no idea what kind of prizes they could win and I was a bit worried about that.

Looking up, I realised I had a few more schoolmates to go and the next one stepped forward to present me his dessert.

I looked up and realised it was Andrew, the Off-Worlder who had the [Dating Sim] bane and had tried to use it on me before.

I'm surprised he actually showed up for my birthday party.

"Hey Aster. Happy Birthday," He greeted.

I tilted my head at him, "I'm surprised you actually came."

He scratched his cheek, "Well… I will admit that I got this invitation from being one of the winners of the sparring match that your sister Delmare had organised. And since I got one, I thought it would be rude not to attend so here I am."

I narrowed my eyes at him, "Right… I will need to warn you that you are not to, under any circumstance, use that skill of yours to seduce anyone while you're here."

He grimaced, "I never thought of even trying that in the first place…"

He then leaned closer to pretend like he was passing his box of the dessert to me so that he could whisper, "Do you even know how insane your luck is to be born in the Nilm Family?"

"Well yeah… I kind of paid for the better reincarnation option, you know?"

"That's what I mean. Even with that and you also got into the Nilm Family? The one whose Matriarch is supposed to be barren? Wait… Were you serious about the Gods granting your mother a miracle?"

I nodded at him and only said a single word, "Yes."

"Well… That explains. Anyway, happy birthday, Aster. And don't worry about me using 'that' on anyone here… Because I'm pretty sure I would die if I even tried…"

I mean… I wouldn't kill him… Probably…

He then straightened himself and gestured to the box, "I won't lie though… I don't think I did a really good job with it. I'm not exactly a baker…"

I opened the box and peeked inside to see a bunch of chocolate brownies inside.

Ooh~ These actually look good~

I picked one up and lifted it to my mouth to take a bite out of it.

Mmmm! It's definitely not as good as the ones that the maids would make but… It had the homemade feeling where you had just pulled them out of the oven in your own kitchen and you snuck a bite from one before serving the rest to your friends.

I don't even know why that image came to mind but that's what I thought of when I tasted the brownie.

I was soon throwing the rest into my mouth and enjoying it to the fullest.

Once again, I caught myself licking my fingers again and also my tail wagging behind me before I managed to stop it from wagging as well.

I then proceeded to hide my face once again but I did listen in on the score that the girls gave.

Despite Andrew saying that he didn't do a good job with it, he actually received a score of eight, six, eight, seven and seven from the table and an eight from Katsuki as well.

Tiara only gave a lower score because the dessert he gave wasn't cookies.

Andrew was obviously surprised by the score but accepted it quite graciously.

The next person to step up to me made me do a double take.

Why the heck is Emilia here and also dressed up in a school uniform? I actually thought that she had chosen not to participate because she was still hiding from her family or just busy with setting up her business.

She had a really mischievous smile on her face as she presented a medium sized box to me.

"Happy birthday Aster!"

I looked at the box in front of me for a while before looking back at her to whisper, "What are you doing here?"

She lifted an eyebrow, "To celebrate your birthday of course?"

I stared at her.

She finally relented, "Well… Nobody said that I couldn't try to win the prize as well?"

I knew it.

Whatever, it's not like I was the one who organised this anyway and I don't really care as long as I get to eat sweets.

Opening the box, I found a rather large slice of cake sitting inside that was intricately decorated sitting inside the box.

Hmm… There's something familiar about this cake for some reason?

I picked up the fork that Katsuki presented to me and cut off a bite of the cake to put into my mouth.

Almost immediately, I felt my world explode in sweetness and I was completely lost in it for a good long while before I came back to myself again.

It took me a moment to realise why this looked so familiar and tasted so good…

This was definitely made by Mary…

Emilia really went ahead to get Mary to make this to give to me…
