"Min-min!"
While Tong Hua and the others were on their way home, the kitchen at Happy Dessert House was as lively as ever.
"Alcremie!"
The three Alcremie, Ruby, Caramel, and Rainbow, were locked in an argument over how to decorate a cake. Even with Minccino mediating, settling their dispute was going to take a while-
After all, if it were just an ordinary cake to sell in the shop, there would have been no need to argue. They could simply make every decoration they wanted.
But this cake was more than just a dessert to sell to customers! It was a special party cake made to welcome Tong Hua, Riolu, and Grovyle home!
"Alcremie!"
To the Alcremie, decorating a cake with such special meaning was the highest privilege!
Ruby insisted on using her signature strawberry cream roses, Caramel advocated spun caramel to create gorgeous golden patterns, and Rainbow thought they should make rainbow swirls using three flavors of cream.
Minccino ran anxiously back and forth between them, trying hard to persuade them, but the three Alcremie each stuck to their own ideas. None would budge.
"Steenee!" "Deli!" "Dolliv!"
Seeing this, Steenee, Delibird, and Dolliv gathered around as well. Each pulled an Alcremie aside and began talking to her.
"Aren't you close sisters?"
"Whatever it is, talk it through."
"Don't rush. Take your time~"
In short, they were all family, so they shouldn't spoil their harmony!
"Alcremie..."
Under their companions' patient guidance, the three Alcremie finally calmed down. They exchanged glances and lowered their heads, a little embarrassed.
Ruby was the first to reach out a little hand, gently touching Caramel and Rainbow. Caramel immediately reached out in response, and Rainbow joined them too. The three adorable little ones formed a circle and began discussing the cake's decorations anew.
"Phew... Min-min."
