Chapter 393 You Cant Just Turn Anything to Baby Castella, You Know? (2/2)

[I’m not asking you.]

[Eh? Wait!?]

I wasn’t really worried about Alice from the beginning. After all, she eats just about anything and everything, and she also ate a lot of rice back at the yakiniku restaurant……

As soon as I thought that I had already dealt with Alice, she grinned at me for some reason.

[Fufufu, the one who should be acting like that right now is me, you know…… After all, soon enough, Kaito-san will praise me, saying “As expected of Alice!”.]

[What kind of idiocy are you on about now……]

[Well, for the time being, how about you look at this……]

[Wha!? What the…… C- Could that be……]

[Yes! This is “Alice-chan’s Special Seaweed Tsukudani”!]

(T/N: Tsukudani is a small piece of seafood, meat or seaweed that has been simmered in soy sauce and mirin, used as a flavorful accompaniment to plain rice.)

T- This is impossible…… She’s bringing out my personal top 1 rice accompaniment, Seaweed Tsukudani!? A- Alice…… W- What an amazing person you are.

Astonished at the tsukudani that was offered to me, I held out my chopsticks and tried it…… the perilla-flavor of the seaweed was refreshing and spread in my mouth, and its taste was further enhanced when eaten along with rice.

[……U- Ugghhh…… A- As expected of Alice……]

[Fufufu, I knew it!]

Frustrating as it may be, this was a complete defeat for me. Moreover, this is really tasty.

Although I was feeling vexed because I had said what Alice had declared, I was more than impressed by this tsukudani.

[Even so, this tsukudani is really good. Hey, Ali…… ce?]

With excitement budding in my heart, I looked back at Alice…… only to see her holding a sheet of paper to her chest with a big smile on her face.

On the paper, it said “Alice-chan’s Special Seaweed Tsukudani: Assortment of 5 kinds…… 1 Gold Coin. Seaweed Set…… 5 Silver Coins.”

Ah, sh*t…… this is just a “trap”!? By daring to offer the first bite for free, she would make people realize how delicious her food is and induce them to loosen their purse strings. What an efficient strategy it was.

[……Give me 4 of each.]

[Thank you for the purchase~~]

It was a complete defeat, but I wanted Aoi-chan and Hina-chan to taste it too, so I decided to buy it upright.

Good gracious, she’s really getting better and better at business…… She’s only focusing on me though……

[Hey, Shalltear. Let me buy one of those too.]

[Ehh? Yes, I don’t mind.]

[Thanks~~]

As I was paying Alice and putting the set away in the magic box, Kuro stopped eating and asked Alice to sell one to her.

[……Hey, Kuro. I’m going to ask just in case, but what are you going to use it for?]

[Eh? Of course, for my new baby castella……]

Now then, what should I do? Seaweed-filled baby castella…… I wonder what it would taste like? I don’t know. I can’t even start to imagine how it would taste.

However, I don’t think it would go well with the sweet dough, so I do hope she would stop with that plan of hers.

[Ahh, it’s alright! I’ll make sure that Kaito-kun “gets to taste it first”!]

[……I- I see……]

I’m just imagining things, aren’t I? What she just said was purely out of courtesy, right? It kinda sounded like she was asking me to be her lab rat…… It’s just my imagination, right!?

Dear Mom, Dad————- As I was feeling extremely tired before the Six Kings Festival even started, we had a delicious breakfast. Even so, I really enjoyed the seaweed tsukudani made by Alice but…… Kuro, how should I say this———– You can’t just turn anything to baby castellas, you know?

~~~ Discharged ~~~

Serious-senpai: [Fuhahahaha! Readers, I have retu——– Gafhuaaahh!? *sees sweetness* (coughs blood)]
