Season 3, Episode 6

Episode 6:

”Miko-nee!”

Shun returned to find Mikoto's p.r.o.ne figure lying on the kitchen floor.

This wasn't one of her usual fainting episodes, he just knew it.

Sitting un.o.btrusively on the kitchen counter was the black sludge that Rosalie had once brought Shun for lunch. Judging from the black remnants on the spoon in her hand, Mikoto must have tried it.

”Miko-nee! Get up!”

Holding her up, Shun gave her a few shakes in an attempt to revive her.

”… The devil! The devil's army employed a Habanero and -”

Her eyes unfocused, whatever Mikoto was muttering made no sense.

And yet, it was obvious from the remaining ingredients in the kitchen that Mikoto tried to teach Rosalie how to make curry.

Somehow he didn't believe that effort to be a success. Well, certainly not from the way the potatoes seemed to be torn from the inside out, and the carrots were smashed onto the door of the fridge. Chicken bits and onion rings were placed in an odd position reminiscent of the way live sacrifices were stacked up before being burnt alive at the stake.

This didn't make any sense. And what in the world was a Habanero anyway?

”Shun-chan …”

”Are you alright, Miko-nee? Nothing wrong with your head?”

”Rosalie-chan is…”

As she uttered Rosalie's name, she looked around the room hoping to catch sight of Rosalie.

”-Ah!”

Shun followed her line of sight and found another spoon, black stains sliding off it. It occurred to him that Rosalie must have tasted the black sludge too.

”Rosalie-chan, she went out and -”

”What?”

”Go upstairs and see if you can find her.”
