I thought it was supposed to be a healing farming game.
Episode 50

“Fluffy Cloud Bedding and pillow set…?”
Just looking at it, the comforter and pillows seemed so soft you’d sink right through them.
“One… no, two sets, please.”
In case anyone dropped by, I picked up a spare set as well.
“And one single-person Fluffy Chair, a Red Checkered Tablecloth, and three types of dish sets.”
Thanks to the generous 70% discount, I could choose what I wanted without much hesitation.
“For mugs, I’ll take two large sets and one small teacup set. For individual mugs, I want this one, this one, and that one. Three of those.”
As my orders flowed out without pause, the furniture shop owner’s smile grew wider and wider.
“You have excellent taste, miss!”

Furniture Shop Owner’s Affection +40

“Hehe. I just bought a new house, you see.”
“Then you must need plenty of things! How about this Wardrobe and Steamer? And I’ll throw in as many coat hangers as you’d like for free—”
“Could you possibly arrange the placement in my home?”
“Of course. Our staff will visit and set everything up for you. And over here, you really should look at our lighting options—”
I listened carefully to his explanation and selected everything I needed with meticulous care.
“Node Support has been applied. That comes to 80 Gold in total.”
“Yes. Here’s 80 Gold!”
“Thank you so much, miss. We’ll send our staff to install your furniture today.”
As the shopping wound down, the furniture shop owner saw me to the door with noticeably warmer courtesy than before.
Ding.
“Please visit us again anytime!”
Watching my Affection rise above my head, I stepped outside with a spring in my step.
‘70% off is the best!’

Once I’d arranged all my new household goods, the Cottage became even lovelier.
The original wooden furniture and pastel-toned wallpaper paired beautifully with the dainty patterned bedding and curtains.
“I’m so happy…”
I spent the next few days lost in contentment, day after day.
Before I knew it, spring was nearly over.
Checking the calendar, the day I’d been waiting for wasn’t far off. I took out a fresh sheet of beautiful stationery and picked up my pen.

[TO. Yueun and Eunyou
You are invited to Miel’s Housewarming Party!
Hey, you two.
I’ve just gotten myself a new place.
This invitation is just for the two of you. I’d really love it if you came and hung out.
The housewarming is tomorrow at noon! I’ll have delicious food ready.
– Miel, who can’t wait to see you]

If you get a new house, you have to throw a housewarming party!
Before bed, I made sure everything was ready and checked the ingredients I’d need several times over.
“I have the meat. I have the cheese block. I’ve already made the Strawberry Syrup… and I bought fresh milk!”
Sure, the official reason was a housewarming, but there was another purpose entirely.

[Twin Birthday!]

The last week of spring, May fifth.
A major event awaited—the twins’ birthday.
‘Since you can’t get into the Mansion without an invitation, I’ll send one myself and celebrate with them!’
I really wish you’d come.
The next morning, I shut off the alarm that had been ringing since early and shot up from bed.
Waking alone in my new house still felt a little strange.
In my pajamas, I stepped into the yard and opened the mailbox. An exclamation mark floated above it.

[To Miel:
Sure. I’ll come visit.]

The twins’ reply had arrived.
“Perfect!”
I’d been worried they might say they were too busy to come.
I hid the gift in my room and got down to serious cooking.
‘The twins eat a lot, so I need to make plenty.’
The menu I’d chosen was Bear-Shaped Rice Balls, Cheese Pork Cutlet, and Cream Soup.
For snacks, Waffles and Strawberry Milk.
“The kids won’t be able to resist these!”
I called out with confidence, rolling the rice balls into plump, rounded shapes.
They were made with meat and finely chopped vegetables mixed in a sweet soy glaze.
‘The neighbor’s kid used to hate vegetables, but he loved eating these back then, so it should be fine.’
When I finished, the rice balls had turned out bigger than I expected.
“Are you too big…? No, wait. The twins might not have enough.”
I shouldn’t underestimate the twins’ appetites.
As soon as the Bear-Shaped Rice Balls were done, I covered them and pulled out a knife and small mallet.
It was time to make the Cheese Pork Cutlet.
I flattened the meat, wrapped the cheese block inside, then coated it with flour, egg wash, and breadcrumbs in order.
The moment I dropped it into the hot oil, an appetizing sizzle filled the kitchen.
I placed the golden-fried cutlet on a wire rack and checked the seasoning of the Cream Soup.
“Mmm. Perfect. Delicious.”
I set up the Bear Rice Balls and soup first, then gave the Cheese Pork Cutlet a quick final fry just as the twins were due to arrive.
When I cut lightly into the crispy exterior, melted cheese streamed out from inside.
“This looks delicious. They’ll love it.”
I sprinkled parsley over it and brought out a glass of Cherry Juice with ice, and right on cue, my guest knocked at the door.
Knock, knock-knock.
“Just a moment!”
I hurried over and opened the door.
Standing outside was the twins, dressed more neatly and formally than usual.
“Welcome, you two!”
Today they’d dressed up like proper young lady and gentleman.
“Miel. Did you run? Your cheeks are red.”
“Yeah. I was just getting the meal ready….”
I quickly ushered the twins inside. Their eyes grew bright as they looked around the house.
They’d spotted the Balloons floating in the living room.
“Do you like the Balloons?”
It was rewarding to have decorated them on purpose, knowing how much the twins loved them.
“We want one.”
“Pick one each on your way out.”
The twins had been pulling at the Balloon strings that stretched up to the ceiling, but now they spotted the food laid out on the table.
They hurried over in quick little steps and leaned down to peer at the rice balls.
“A bear.”
“What is this?”
Their voice was soft, but their eyes held deep curiosity.
I pointed to each dish and explained kindly.
“This one is a Bear-Shaped Rice Ball, and that one is Cheese Pork Cutlet.”
“Cheese Pork Cutlet?”
“It’s a fried meat dish made with cheese inside, and it’s definitely delicious. And there’s Barbecue Sauce here too!”
It might have been unfamiliar food to the twins, but they seemed to like the cute appearance at least.
After the twins slurped down the Cream Soup, they immediately started eating the Bear-Shaped Rice Balls.
Each of them scooped off a bear’s ear with a spoon and popped it in their mouth, then nodded with puffed cheeks.
Their eyes sparkled and their cheeks flushed as they enjoyed the meal.
‘Phew. Thank goodness.’
I took a seat and began eating my share of the Bear-Shaped Rice Balls.
‘Delicious!’
The seasoning hit just right, and my appetite surged.
Next, I dipped the Cheese Pork Cutlet generously into the sauce and took a bite—the cheese stretched in a long, molten strand.
Seeing me eat, Yueun held out a forkful of his cutlet to me.
“Me too……”
I drizzled plenty of sauce over it, and the boy took a big bite.
The twins’ eyes sparkled again as they watched the cheese stretch out in a long thread.
Knowing their appetites, I’d prepared generous portions, but the twins emptied their plates in moments.
“Not full yet? Want more?”
“Mmm……”
“There’s more in the kitchen—I’ll bring it all out. We have dessert too, so eat while you wait.”
I fetched the remaining food and pulled out the Waffle Machine, and the twins’ attention snapped directly toward it.
The sight of them staring intently at the Waffle Machine with a Rice Ball still in their mouths was absolutely adorable.
They looked curious about what it was.
“This is a Waffle Machine. I just bought it to make some for you two!”
“You bought it for us?”
“Yes! I’m using it for the first time too. Wait just a little bit.”
I poured the batter in and retrieved some glass cups while the waffle cooked.
I added three spoonfuls of Strawberry Syrup to an empty glass and poured in milk with a gentle splash.
A quick stir, and I had a simple Strawberry Milk ready.
‘Is it too sweet? But the kids love it anyway.’
The menu I’d prepared with health in mind probably wouldn’t be the twins’ favorite.
By then the waffle had cooked beautifully—I trimmed the crispy edges lightly with a knife and dolloped on generous Chocolate Cream.
After spreading the cream evenly, I finished by sprinkling Chocolate Chips across the top.
I handed the finished plate to the twins and spoke warmly.
“I’ll make one more waffle for you, so eat this one while you wait?”
“Okay.”
Eunyou grabbed the waffle with both hands.
Just as she was about to take a bite, she noticed Yueun standing empty-handed and tore the waffle in half to share with him.
