Liana nodded slowly, clearly intrigued.
"So we're really making this thing you call... err... koko-late?"
Javier chuckled, switching off the magic stove with a tap of his mana. He picked up a large crystal-glass mixing bowl, added a generous scoop of the shimmering white sugar, and poured the warm coconut oil into it. The mixture glistened as the oil hit the crystals, releasing a soft, sweet aroma.
"Liana… stir it with this." He handed her the whisk, flashing a confident grin.
She took it, hesitant at first. "Like this?" she asked, beginning to stir with slow, graceful movements.
"Oops~ gently, gently. Good… now once the sugar dissolves well, add in the cocoa powder. Don't rush. Mix it smoothly."
Liana followed his instructions, her expression focused. "L… like this?" she asked again, her slender arms moving with a dancer's rhythm as the mixture began to darken into a thick, glossy paste.
"Yep. That's it," Javier nodded, watching like a proud instructor.
