"What did you say?"
Brynn suspected that there was something wrong with her ears, "Did I hear wrongly?"
"What's wrong? Little Pudding, have your ears deteriorated so badly in two years?"
Vlad smiled, "I want you to make some donuts. I want to chat with our brother after a long absence, so I have to prepare some of his favorite things for him!"
"Of course there's nothing wrong with my ear, but I really wish there was something wrong with it!"
Pudding put her hand on the table and stood up, looking menacing, "My brother Vlad, what are you thinking about?"
"Are you looking for death?"
In this Charlotte family, there are quite a few brothers of Vlad and Pudding, and the old lady is really good at giving birth to children. However, there is only one man among them who meets the condition that Vlad said he likes eating donuts. That is the man named Charlotte Katakuri, the second son of the Charlotte family and the leader of the four dessert generals.
"Do you think Brother Katakuri will sit down and have afternoon tea with you in a friendly manner when he sees you?"
Pudding looked very angry, "After several years at sea, you have become too lawless! Vlad!"
"Call me brother!"
Vlad grabbed Pudding's left and right cheeks with both hands and pulled them here and there, making his sister's beautiful face look ridiculous.
"I'm not kidding you!"
Pudding broke away from Vlad's hand and said seriously, "Brother Vlad, maybe you and Brother Katakuri had a very good relationship in the past, but..."
"Now you are no longer a member of the Charlotte family, and you are no longer Katakuri's younger brother! Do you think-"
"Don't be silly, Pudding,"
Vlad smiled, "Don't you think of me as an older brother now? Brother Katakuri treats me the same way!"
"But--"
Pudding looked a little anxious.
"Alright!"
Vlad patted Pudding on the shoulder and smiled, "Try to believe me too! I'm not as weak as you think. Even if that crazy woman appears in front of me, if I want to run, she will not be able to stop me."
"..."
"You are so crazy!"
Pudding said this, turned around and walked into the kitchen and started cooking.
Vlad smiled and said nothing.
Time passed quickly, and an extremely tempting sweet aroma came from the kitchen. Vlad's sister, a girl named Pudding, was very good at making chocolate. Such a aroma was no joke.
"Oh!"
Vlad suddenly said, "Just in time!"
"Do you really want to die?"
"Squeak!"
The wooden door was pushed open, and a very tall man walked in. He wore a dark punk style, with a thick scarf covering the lower half of his face. His muscles were strong, his eyes were extremely calm, and his hair was short and radiant. The reverse beam is similar to Vlad.
"It's okay to run back, but you still dare to run in front of me and show off your power?"
The name of the visitor was Charlotte Katakuri, Vlad's brother, the man who almost cut off Vlad's sailing path more than two years ago.
"Oh oh oh, long time no see! Katakuri-nii!"
Vlad didn't care at all and looked very happy. Even the wrinkles in the corners of his narrowed eyes revealed a smile. Calculating carefully, he had not seen his brother for more than two years, right? It's a really long time.
"How have you been?"
Vlad was very happy, but Katakuri was not happy at all.
"Vlad, since you have chosen to leave this place, since you have chosen to give up the surname Charlotte, why do you want to come back?"
Katakuri asked.
"Why? If you want to ask why!"
Vlad smiled, "Isn't this a natural thing? Is there anything wrong with finally going back to the new world to see your brothers and sisters?"
"Stop talking to yourself! Vlad!"
Katakuri's tone was calm and there was no trace of emotion at all, "Since the day you chose to leave the Charlotte family, there are no more brothers and sisters of yours here!"
"You are so serious! Brother Katakuri!"
Vlad smiled casually, not caring about Katakuri's words.
"Hey, Pudding, are you okay? Brother Katakuri is already here!"
"Wait a bit! Stop rushing me!"
Pudding replied angrily, pushing a dining cart out of the kitchen, with a rich sweet aroma spreading from it.
"Oh oh oh, it's great! It smells so good. You didn't waste the past two years, Pudding. Your craftsmanship has improved a lot!"
"No way!"
Pudding suddenly became a little nervous.
"Ka... ka... Brother Katakuri!"
Pudding said this a little fearfully, but she kept putting the things on the dining cart on the table.
Placed in front of Vlad was a stack of steaming chocolate cakes and a cup of black tea, which looked very simple. Placed opposite him was a huge plate that was slowly spread out for nearly half of the table. On it were placed with several huge, equally steaming donuts.
"Come on! Don't be stunned, Brother Katakuri, it's already your tea time, right?"
Vlad picked up the spoon and took a spoonful from the top of the chocolate cake. He stuffed it into his mouth with great enjoyment. It looked very comfortable.
"This is what our lovely sister did with great difficulty! As an elder brother, do you want to let down your sister?"
"Pudding——"
Katakuri looked at his sister with indifferent eyes, sighed slightly, slowly walked to the opposite side of Vlad and sat down. This chair probably is not suitable for Katakuri who is five meters tall. It was really a little cramped, and it was a bit funny for him to sit on it.
"Wow, it's great! It's so delicious! Pudding, yes, it tastes much better than two years ago! It's not at the same level at all!"
Vlad exclaimed in surprise, "As expected of my sister!"
"Does this have anything to do with whether I'm your sister?"
Pudding pouted.
"Hey, why don't you eat it! Brother Katakuri!"
Vlad looked at Katakuri, who was sitting across from him without saying a word, with his hands folded across his chest, looking at him, and said, "What? Does the donut made by Pudding doesn't suit you?"
"Eh? Really? Katakuri-nii-nii doesn't like the smell?"
Pudding said anxiously.
If Vlad was someone who has always laughed at her about the three-eyed monster, but will be the first to stand up and beat someone up when called out, is the best brother in Pudding's heart, then Katakuri is the best brother in the family. He is strong but not arrogant, cold but not withdrawn. His younger brothers and sisters are deeply cared for by him.
"No!"
Katakuri finally said, "I like it very much!"
He took the scarf off his shoulders.
