Chapter 426: It Tasted so Bad that I Lost Consciousness (1/2)
It was the morning of the second day of the Six Kings Festival. I thought that I would sleep with the trio of Kuro, Isis-san and Alice again, but it seems like they noticed that I hadn't slept at all last night, and Kuro suggested that we sleep together every other day instead. I guess we can't just not sleep together huh……
Anyway, thanks to her suggestion, I was able to get a good night's sleep. I think I'll be able to do my best on the second day now.
(T/N: Author wrote Sacred Tree Festival here instead of the Six Kings Festival lol)
Speaking of which, I wonder where Kuro and the others are? Are they preparing breakfast?
As I walked down the huge corridor to the cafeteria, I heard familiar voices coming from behind the other side of the door.
[K- Kuro-san, I really think you should stop already…… That isn't a baby castella anymore, that's just ”dark matter in the form of a baby castella”!!!]
[You see…… I'm always seeking new flavors. I want to be adventurous.]
[What's with that look of enlightenment on your face!? If Kaito-san eats that, rather than you being adventurous, Kaito-san will just end up going on an adventure to another world, you know!?]
……That's quite the frightening conversation you're having there, oi! Is it a new creation? Did Kuro make another new creation?
This is bad, my sixth sense is letting out quite a terrifying alarm. Let's just quietly leave this place before they notice……
[……Kaito…… Good morning.]
[……G- Good…… morning.]
However, reality is a cruel mistress. Just as I was about to run away, the door in front of me opened, revealing the lovely Isis-san wearing an apron.
And then, the two people inside the room would obviously notice me……
[Ahh, Kaito-kun! Lookie, lookie, I made a new baby castella!]
[Kaito-san! Run! You'll get killed!]
In front of Kuro, who had a big smile on her face when she found me…… was an ”unknown red-spotted something that glowed golden”……
This won't do, its color clearly screamed that it wasn't something a human should bring into their mouth. Even Alice is desperately telling me to escape……
[……K- Kuro. Their colors look dangerous, don't they……?]
[T- That's not the case! This is delicious…… I think. ”I haven't tasted it myself”, but I think it'll be delicious.]
Those few final words clearly sound ominous, you know!? That's definitely no good. With the words she said, that definitely doesn't taste good at all!
[N- No, in the first place, why didn't you taste it when you're cooking it first……]
[Ehh, but I want Kaito-kun to be the one to taste it first……]
The apron-clad Kuro, whose cheeks were slightly blushing red, looked really cute.
N- No, but still…… They probably used the right ingredients to make it, so at worst, it'll just taste bad, right? A- After all, Kuro made it for me……
[……If it's just o- one bite……]
[Yay~~!]
[Kaito-san, don't you think you're spoiling Kuro-san too much!?]
I knew what Alice was trying to say, and I was well aware of it. But if I refused to eat it, Kuro would be sad. And that's something I don't want to happen.
If it's to protect Kuro's smile, I'll take on any challenge, even if it means ”dying”!
