Chapter 426 - It Tasted so Bad that I Lost Consciousness

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 hadnt slept at all last night, and Kuro suggested that we sleep together every other day instead. I guess we cant just not sleep together huh

Anyway, thanks to her suggestion, I was able to get a good nights sleep. I think Ill 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 isnt a baby castella anymore, thats just dark matter in the form of a baby castella!!!]

[You see Im always seeking new flavors. I want to be adventurous.]

[Whats 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!?]

Thats quite the frightening conversation youre 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. Lets 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 ap.r.o.n.

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! Youll 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 wont do, its color clearly screamed that it wasnt something a human should bring into their mouth. Even Alice is desperately telling me to escape

[K- Kuro. Their colors look dangerous, dont they?]

[T- Thats not the case! This is delicious I think. I havent tasted it myself, but I think itll be delicious.]

Those few final words clearly sound ominous, you know!? Thats definitely no good. With the words she said, that definitely doesnt taste good at all!

[N- No, in the first place, why didnt you taste it when youre cooking it first]

[Ehh, but I want Kaito-kun to be the one to taste it first]

The ap.r.o.n-clad Kuro, whose cheeks were slightly blus.h.i.+ng red, looked really cute.

N- No, but still They probably used the right ingredients to make it, so at worst, itll just taste bad, right? A- After all, Kuro made it for me

[If its just o- one bite]

[Yay~~!]

[Kaito-san, dont you think youre 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 thats something I dont want to happen.

If its to protect Kuros smile, Ill take on any challenge, even if it means dying!

[No, you dont have to eat a mouthful, okay!? Dont speak about dying, okay!?]

[Now, now, enjoy it while its fresh out of the oven~~]

[You just ignored what I was saying!?]

With Alices tsukkomis in full swing, I pick up one of these frighteningly-colored baby castellas. Uwaahh, even though it has such a color, its this soft

F- Fufufu, the path to challenging the future sure makes my heart race the trembling of my body must have been s.h.i.+vers of excitement. Even the sweat running down my back, its probably just my increasing fighting spirit.

[T- Thank you for the food Ugghhh!? Agghhhh]

In front of the smiling Kuro, I moved my trembling hands and threw the baby castella into my mouth.

Along with its soft and squishy texture, an inexpressibly bad taste spread in my mouth.

Ah, but this might be surprisingly good my tongue became numb and eating it was quite the hair-raising experience, but I guess you could call it some sort of delicacy.

[Ahh, if isnt Mom and Dad What are you waving at me for? Hahaha, I cant hear what youre saying, you know wait a moment, Ill be going over there]

[Kaito-san!? Get a hold of yourself! Wherever they are, please dont follow them!!!]

Hearing Alices voice within my foggy thoughts, my consciousness slowly disappeared.

Dear Mom, Dad The human body is quite strange, and sometimes our defense instincts kick in without our will. What happened today was just like that in response to dark matter (baby castella) that Kuro made- It tasted so bad that I lost consciousness.

When Kaito fainted after eating a baby castella, an awkward look appeared on Kuromueinas face. The nearby Alice fiercely flared up at her.

[Hey, Kuro-san!? Kaito-san started hallucinating, you know!? What did you put in there!!!?]

[E- Errr First is Golden Frog meat]

[What were you thinking when you put frog meat into a baby castella!? Are you the Devil!!!?]

For once, Alices words were completely correct, and Kuromueina sat in a seiza, curling her body smaller and smaller as she received Alices scolding.

Looking at Kuromueina, Alice let out a big sigh before carrying Kaito to the sofa.

In the midst of such turmoil, only one person Isis was the only one who acts as if it had nothing to do with her, as she went to the kitchen to make a lovely bento.

Arranging colorful and tasty dishes in a round-shaped container, she then finished it with a cute heart symbol in the center.

[I hope Kaito will be pleased.]

The morning commotion caused by Kuromueina coming up with a new baby castella. Kuromueina, who was making a bizarre baby castella, and Alice, who struggled to stop her.

The result was Isis, who had made lunch without caring about what these two were doing, she was the sole winner.
