Chapter 124 (1/2)

[Touka-sama, w- what could this be… such a thing is…]

Liz held her mouth with both of her hands.

Her eyes were trembling.

Eve hummed.

[Mhmm… This is unbelievable…]

Even Pigimaru stiffened.

[Pii…. puyuuu…]

As her expression loosens, Liz places her hands on her cheeks.

[It’s very… delicious…]

[I see.]

Sweets that were transferred through my leather bag.

I handed the sweets over to them.

As a result, it had become quite popular.

Just the other day, I tried transferring something out from my leather bag.

Some sweets came out of it.

It’s a white chocolate with wafer beneath it.

I bit into the chocolate and the wafer at the same time.

I could feel the exquisite double layers within my mouth.

The hard chocolate began melting as I chewed on them inside my mouth.

The wafer was broken into multiple pieces.

The sweetness of the white chocolate gently spread out of my mouth.

The wafer that isn’t too sweet.

It’s quite slight, but I could feel some saltiness.

The combination of these two has produced one superb sweetness.

The chocolate and the wafer really go well together…

The balance of tastes between the two is really splendid.

[I like this one, too.]

In exchange for the rewards I should have given them until now, I distributed these towards everyone.

[It won’t open.]

Eve was having a hard time opening the wrapping paper.

[Let me borrow that.]

Tear…

Opening the wrapping paper, I gave her the contents.

[It’s not that easy to open it up huh…]

[It was actually made so that anyone could easily open it though…]

Eve’ eyes narrowed.

She turned quite serious.

[I can’t believe this. These engravings on the sweet white part… what the heck is with this high engraving technology…]

The image carved on the chocolate part.

Eve had been surprised by this.

[I also don’t understand what this bag that’s wrapping around the sweets. What in the world is with this slipperiness… what did they use to make this?]

It seems she also found the wrapping quite unusual.

[Hnnggghh….]

It seems Liz has also been struggling with the wrapping paper.

Or rather, it’s because these two had been avoiding the jagged edges huh…

Did they think that’s a dangerous part?

I decided on opening Liz’s sweets too.

[Pass it to me.]

[Ah, Touka-sama…  T- Thank you for the trouble—]

[Enough about that, just eat it.]

[Y- Yes.]

Looking like a hamster, Liz started eating.

It seems she’s putting some effort into exerting self-restraint.

However, she still end up going into a trance.

[It’s delicious, isn’t it? Pigimaru-chan.]

[Pii~♪]

[Touka-sama… This is the first time I’ve eaten something so delicious…]

[Such a surprise is also good sometimes.]

[Touka.]

Eve spoke.

[It seems that the world you used to live in is quite an amazing place.]

I’ve already told them about my identity as a Hero from Another World.

There’s no point in hiding it to them anyway.

I told them that the sweets I gave them are also from my world.

The people of this world recognize the existence of Heroes from Another World.

They would be surprised about some things about the other world.

However, the perception about the other world is not completely unknown.

Therefore, they haven’t understood the existence of the other world itself.

The point that I’m trying to say should be easy to understand.

[From our perspective though, this world is more amazing…]

They were just like that time when Seras ate the cheese tart.

They would view the other world as amazing.

As expected, everyone would probably look at it the same way.

Incidentally…

Seras has been quite docile for some time…

[What’s the matter, Seras?]

[…I like it.]

[What happened?]

[Ah, no… It’s nothing. It’s quite delicious, isn’t it? These baked sweets…]

Her reaction is quite similar to when she ate that cheese tart before.

She looks like she’s eating it elegantly but…

It seems that she likes this too.

At that time though, she was deeply moved after eating it.

However, she had become quite docile when she’s beside Eve and Liz.

It’s probably because she’s trying to keep her cool as she’s the vice captain.

[……………….]

Is it because she’s trying to convey her excitement towards me?

The glitter in her eyes that were looking towards me had been increasing.

▽

[Eve and Liz must have already been asleep huh.]

[Yes. The two of them were already sound asleep.]

It was currently my turn to keep watch.

We’ve already established a rotation for when we sleep.

I started rummaging around my pouch.

[Seras.]

[What is it?]

[Here.]

[Touka-dono, this is…]

[Take it.]

The rest of my share of the sweets just now.

I only ate one chocolate myself.

[Is it okay?]

[You like them, don’t you?]

[However…]

[I’ve already eaten lots of them back in my previous world.]

Seras’ expression won’t easily change.

However, I could see some priceless faces whenever the sweets from my previous world were involved.

[I- Is it really alright for you?]

[Don’t mind it. Just treat it like I’m feeding you.]

[F- Feeding…]

[…It’s just a joke. This is just my reward for my vice captain who’s been doing her best.]

I looked back at the “Encyclopedia on the Forbidden Arts” in my hand.

[It seems like you’ve always been reading that.]

[It’s a book that would literally make “knowledge is power” real. As long as I have free time, I would start reading it again.]

The next enhancement for Pigimaru.

Monster Enhancer.

I would be glad if we could get the materials I need in the Demon Zone.
