"Yeah, that'd make sense, especially as the cookies were made by me, a half-youkai with a reputation..."

A real rep, at that.

"So there are... at least... uh... a lot of kids. Hmmm... Well I suppose I could get started on them today and maybe get them done by tomorrow... Pretty big order to spring on me so suddenly though."

It's going to take a really long time to get enough dough ready. Luckily, she can probably do four different types of cookie decently easy just by adding different types of chip. Maybe a white chocolate chunk one, a milk chocolate chip one, a chocolate-dough one... and a peanut-and-chocolate-chunk one? Lots of chocolate, of course.

"N-no! Their parents would skin me alive if I gave the kids cookies with anything surprising in them! I know when to hold back."

"Anywho, I figured I'd give a couple cookies to each kid, so the order is going to be roughly... two-hundred and eighty. Preferably four different kinds of cookie."

seiran vc: is it on something that's about to expire

No, it's the sort of deal that makes you wonder if it's really a good idea to have a pie and a slice of cake for lunch, even if it's nice and affordably priced.

Strange cat attempts to offer you bizarre bakery discounts, 2024, colourised.

"Yeah, that's true. I like being in a slightly isolated spot though, it makes it easier for Youkai to visit. Slightly."

Even she can't pretend it's a big difference-

"Anyways, I can give you the cookies now if you want, but it depends on how many. I don't put any surprises in mine though, so that gimmick isn't going to work you for you..."

"That's likely due to the isolated nature of your bakery. Being away from the village's other shops means you're not close to things that would normally be paired with a bakery purchase. There's no butcher or grocer nearby, so naturally you'd have to fill in the blanks yourself."

"That said, I'd like to make an order for a whole lotta cookies for tomorrow? I promised the children I'd treat them if they all did at least one good deed every day for a week."

"Maybe I should make pies more of a thing... They're doing pretty well. Bread is great, but I guess bread doesn't make for a meal by itself, you need a lot of other stuff to put between the slices that I don't stock here..."

@annettesoleil replied to your post “What is Nyalter's signature bread :D”:

Banana bread is just cake--

​"It's got bread in the name so it counts for me! I make it in loaves!"

What is Nyalter's signature bread :D

"Bread bread."

White bread. She just likes white bread.

"Aside from that... banana bread! It's a nice snack, but it can also make for a sweet staple. Goes well with sweet stuff, but also stuff like peanut butter. If you really want to treat yourself, I recommend two slices of banana bread, one with peanut butter on it and the other with hazelnut chocolate spread!"

Nyalter is not responsible for any weight gained as a result of eating this combination for breakfast too often.

"The whole bakery thing has required a lot more diplomacy than I ever expected. Having to make sure I'm stocked on flour, eggs, milk, butter, and the like has been difficult..."

"Especially when there's supply line issues and the deliveries get delayed..."

😏 - lying, for nyalter~

How good is my muse at:

"Oh, I'm definitely not good at it~"

She's decent. Nyalter is good with customer-facing stuff, and if she wants to, she can convince someone that she like them even if she secretly hates their guts. However, when it comes to people she's more intimate with, her tendency to occasionally get tripped up can make it harder to lie to them.

Oh, and guilt. She doesn't normally feel a lot of it, but with some people? Definitely a problem.

Ask my muse “Have you ever ___” questions!

"......"

"Maybe... bacon and egg pies..."

If she can figure out how to get the eggs right-

would just regular non-youkai animal blood work?

"Maybe. My main issue is that it's a bit smelly to work with when it's older, and I'm not sure the flavour would appeal to... various blood-enthusiastic species..."

Nyalter assumes they all want human, or at least part-human-

@annettesoleil replied to your post “"I should learn how to make blood cookies... but...”:

Other youkai probably won't mind, it's fine-

"Figuring out where to get the blood from might also be hard. I can't just keep using my own..."

"I should learn how to make blood cookies... but I'm not sure if vampires can eat the non-blood parts..."

You can trust the oni while drunk, promise ...wait they shouldn't be there in the first place--

"More than that, all they have to do is start giving each other friendly slaps on the back and my bloody floor would probably cave in!"

Gensokyou is too strong to be allowed drinks.
