Chapter 1489 Seeking the Possibilities of Baby Castellas ?
This chapter is updated by wuxiaworld.eu
After visiting Dr. Vierās clinic, our next stopā¦ā¦ was Aliceās miscellaneous goods store. In front of Alice, who is clad in that cat costume she wears when tending to the store, Kuro said with a bright smile.
[And so, do you have some idea in mind, Shalltear?]
[Noā¦ā¦ Why are you asking me that for the second time? Havenāt I already given you some advice earlier and given you some rice flour?]
Yes, for some reason, for the second time, Alice is getting asked again. Itās true that she has a shop in Symphonia Kingdom, and we should have just asked her earlier, and just as Alice said, she also gave us some rice flour on top of giving advice.
In response to Aliceās perfectly natural response, Kuro looks at her as if it were a matter of course.
[No, the one I talked to earlier was Shalltear, Kaito-kunās guard. She isnāt the same as storekeeper Shalltearā¦ā¦]
[If youāre counting them separately, does that mean youāre counting all my clones in the world as separate people!? ā¦ā¦Haahhh, Iāve known Kuro-san for a long time. No matter how stupid Kuro-san can be about baby castellas, I know youāre not completely thoughtless. So, what are you really after?]
Indeed, the fact that she visited Alice again in such a short time could be considered as Kuro aiming for something. At the very least, I donāt think Kuro actually meant that guard Alice is different from storekeeper Alice.
[ā¦ā¦I was convinced when I saw the rice flour just now. Shalltearā¦ā¦ You have other ingredients and condiments that I donāt know about, right?]
[ā¦ā¦Hou, so thatās how it isā¦ā¦ What if I told you I have some?]
[Iād like to have that~~]
I see, it certainly wouldnāt be strange for Alice to own condiments and ingredients that werenāt distributed in this world. That especially goes with condiments. Even making the same miso can taste very different depending on how itās made, so thereās a high chance that sheāll have something unique.
Kuro and Alice glared at each other like that in a somewhat tense atmosphereā¦ā¦ but after a little while, Alice sighed and took out some containers.
[Well, fine. Iāll give you a couple of condiments that go well with baby castellas.]
[ā¦ā¦Iād like to have some of those that donāt.]
[Who do you think will be harmed by the Dark Matter produced as a result of using those unfitting condiments? It will be Kaito-san, right? If thatās the case, I wonāt give you the condiments that werenāt fitting for baby castellas.]
[No, but there are endless possibilities for baby castellasā¦ā¦]
[And I said the possibility beyond trying those condiments out is that they donāt match baby castellas!]
This is how reliable Alice is when it comes to baby castellas. Even against Kuro, sheās relentless in her tsukkomis, and her thoughts that properly consider common sense are really reassuring. Itās as if sheās speaking for me.
[ā¦ā¦But, but, y- you see, there may be combinations that Shalltear hasnāt triedā¦ā¦]
[Say more, and I wonāt give you even those that fit baby castellas, you know?]
[Ahkā¦ā¦ Uuuu, alright. Iāll have those that match with baby castellas.]
The only thing nasty about Kuro, who is always on the lookout for baby castellas, is that she was always willing to try out new ingredients and condiments that might not even go well with baby castellas.
However, Alice seemed to know how to handle Kuro, and in the end, though she seemed reluctant to part with them, Kuro gave up on the condiments that went well with baby castellas.
[Also, Kuro-san. Donāt mix the seasonings, okay? Please use them separately. If you thoughtlessly mix them up, it will taste bad.]
[ā¦ā¦N- No, but in order to pursue the infinite possibilities ofā¦ā¦]
[Iām not talking about possibilities, Iām talking about usage precautions. You understand, yes? If you donāt follow that, I wonāt give you any other ingredients in the future.]
[ā¦ā¦Uuuuā¦ā¦ Yes.]
I think Alice is the only one who can beat Kuro in her Baby Castella Mode so far. I mean, Iād wondered if sheād rather come along on this journey in pursuit of possibilities, but that would also place quite a terrible burden on Aliceās shoulders, so I couldnāt help feeling apologetic to suggest that.
At any rate, I left the miscellaneous goods store with Kuro, who has gained new ingredients from Alice, and we discussed where to go next.
[Where should we go next? As for other places with our acquaintances here in the Symphonia Kingdom, Rigforeshia perhaps?]
[Ahh, Rigforeshia is great. I also want to buy the leaves of the Spirit Tree that Sieg-chan mentioned earlier, and since there are a lot of ingredients such as fruits that can be acquired from there, it seems like a good place to buy them.]
[Thereās also Rei-san and Fia-sanās home there. I donāt know if theyāre there thoughā¦ā¦ but after that, should we go to another country?]
[Youāre right. Should we go to Chrisā place in Archlesia Empire?]
[Ahh~~ Come to think of it, Chri-san used to live at Kuroās place, didnāt she?]
[Unnn. Itās not been that long, but Chris is like part of my family.]
Even in the letters we exchange frequently, the topic of Kuro comes up occasionally, but I can tell that Chris-san admired Kuro, so I guess they have a good relationship with each other.
By the flow of things, after going to Rigforeshia and Archlesia Empire, would we go to Hydra Kingdom after that? Hmmm, it looks like itās still going to be a long journey ahead. Weāve already gathered quite a few things, so I think weāll be fineā¦ā¦ I donāt see how Kuro would compromise with that though.
