Chapter 912: Meeting the Six Kings Executives - Seven Princesses ⑥ (1/2)

The green demon that easily knocks down the aspirations down to hell…… It was quite an abominable story, but I had a feeling that one day, this day would come.

As soon as I became friends with Raz-san, I've been receiving vegetables from her farm every now and then. I knew it was inevitable that bell peppers would appear, and I was wondering if I would be able to accept it without looking uneasy.

Fortunately or unfortunately, no bell peppers had ever been given to me in the past, so I may have been a little careless…… But I didn't expect that it would show here……

With the situation like this, there are only two options for me to choose from.

One is to honestly tell them that I hate bell peppers…… The benefits of this option goes without saying. Raz-san and Tir-san aren't the kind of people who would force me to do something I don't want, and if I choose this option, I can avoid the situation where I eat bell peppers.

However, what makes me hesitate to do this…… is my petty pride. Even if the two of them were actually older than me, telling two people who look younger than me that ”I hate bell pepper, so I won't eat it”…… I honestly don't want to say it. This petty desire of mine to look good just won't go away.

In that case, the second option…… is to not tell them that I don't like bell peppers and just endure it while eating them. The advantage of this option is that I can protect my petty pride. The disadvantage is that I have to eat the bell pepper.

At first glance, it seems like the advantage is small compared to the disadvantages, but picking this option makes it so that I don't brush away Tir-san's consideration, so it's a difficult decision to make.

Should I be honest with my dislike of bell peppers or keep silent about it…… As my mind was feeling troubled by what is truly the ultimate challenge…… A helping hand came from someone I hadn't expected.

[Tir, that won't do. Kaitokun-san slightly dislike bell pepper-san. That's why, you should take out something else.]

[Aya!? R- Really?]

[Y- Yes, well, that's right. I guess you could say that I slightly, or rather, just a tinsy little bit…… dislike it.]

[I'm sorry about that. In that case, how about tomatoes?]

[……Ah, yes, I like tomatoes.]

Yes, Raz-san rebuked Tir-san…… Arehh? Have I told Raz-san that I don't like bell peppers? No, I shouldn't have told her…… I mean, I've been trying to keep this secret from being known by others as much as possible.

[……Raz-san, errr, how is it that, ummm, you knew that I don't like bell peppers?]

[Errr. Kuromu-sama told me before……]

[Kuro did?]

When I tilted my head, Raz-san told me about her previous interaction with Kuro.
