Chapter 1499 Seeking More Possibilities of Baby Castellas ?
This chapter is updated by wuxiaworld.eu
After talking to Magnawell-san, we will move on again to consult others. Considering that we are going around the Six Kings in order, the next one should be either Isis-san or Megiddo-san.
Alice is also one of the Six Kings, but Alice shouldnāt have any base in the Demon Realm, and since Kuro had already asked her opinion twice, there should be no way sheād ask her for more.
The pace we arrived at with Kuroās Teleportation Magic was a huge, familiar-looking coliseum.
The one we met at our destination was Megiddo-san, drinking from a huge sake cup. I heard that people often drink alcohol after training, so I guess she had just finished training.
Somehow, the magic power inside the coliseum is extremely strong, and there are blood stains here and there, and looking closely, the coliseum is also in shamblesā¦ā¦ Combined with Megiddo-sanās appearance, it felt as if this place had just been struck by a Great Demon Lord bringing forth a tragedy.
[Megiddo, clean the place up before you drink.]
[Unnn? Ohh, yeah, thereās a lot of blood around. Well, thanks to that battle back in the God Realm, the youngsters also got motivated, which is just great. After the Treaty of Friendship, things had been rather lethargic. Theyāre now worth training.]
[ā¦ā¦There really is a lot of blood around, but are you sure theyāre not dead?]
[Ahh? Them dying is normal. Big deal, not like they canāt be brought back to life when they die anyway.]
[ā¦ā¦I- I seeā¦ā¦]
Rather than training so severe that it makes one feel like dying, it seems that people literally die from their training. Well, people who reached Peak Count-rank and higher were normally capable of resurrecting themselves from death, and from the way she speaks, it really feels like this is how they normally train.
I wouldnāt say theyāre Spartan-levelā¦ā¦ but I think the War Kingās subordinates are filled with people who like challenges. From what I heard from Ozma-san, training with Megiddo-san is voluntary and not compulsory, but there are always too many applicants, so āa battle to select those who will train with Megiddo-sanā ends up breaking out, so basically everyone joining in training with her would probably be hot-blooded people.
As I was thinking about this, Megiddo-san lightly clapped her hands, and the blood and other stains around us disappeared, and the broken coliseum returned to normal.
[Since youāve gone and visited, come and drink with us too! Here!]
[You sure love drinking as always.]
[Thank you.]
Maybe sheās in a good mood from how motivated her subordinates are, she handed me and Kuro alcohol with a happy look on her face, so we decided to join her for a bit.
I think I can now understand why I heard Megiddo-san only has battles and parties in mind. Well, that actually includes training for battle, but in any case, that certainly sounds like Megiddo-san.
[So, what are you here for?]
[Ahh, Iām seeking for the possibilities of baby castellas with Kaito-kun.]
[Baby castellas huh. Too sweet, hatāāā Ahh, no, Iām just a little bad around them.]
Megiddo-san was about to say she hated baby castellas, but perhaps feeling hesitant to say she hated Kuroās favorite food, she reiterated that she wasnāt good at them, expressing her dislike of said food in a softer way. I could really feel how she likes Kuro.
Thereupon, lightly putting her hand on her chin, seemingly thinking about it, Megiddo-san spoke.
[Thereās that. Why donāt you create spicy baby castellas? If itās those, I think even I would be able to eat them.]
[Megiddo loves spicy food after all. Even so, spicy baby castellas huhā¦ā¦ Indeed, it has been a fixed concept that baby castellas have to be sweet. Iāve actually tried changing it to various flavors, but it might be a good idea to think about the ingredients on the premise of making it spicy.]
[Like, putting sausages in it?] (Note: Kaito probably talking about spicy sausages or chorizos.)
[Ahh, that sounds like a good idea, Kaito-kun. That sounds like it would be tasty!]
Well, I feel like it would just turn out into something like a chili dogā¦ā¦
[Wouldnāt cheese also go well with that?]
[Indeed, spicy flavors and cheese go well together.]
Are you actually making hotdogs or pizzasā¦ā¦ No, that certainly sounds delicious, but can you really call that a baby castella?
[How about putting curry in the baby castella?]
[Hou, that sounds interesting. However, if you donāt get creative in making them, wonāt those curry filling leak out?]
[I think we can solve that by deep-frying the coating and having the curry take a more solid form.]
No, thatās already totally curry breadā¦ā¦ Well, if theyāre excited, I guess itās fine? For the time being, it seems that the talk had progressed in the direction of making spicy baby castellas.
Thereupon, at that moment, Megiddo-san suddenly looked as if she remembered something.
[Ahh, speaking of which, Iāve got the most delicious sauce Iāve made recently!]
[Unnn? Megiddo made that?]
[Yeah. Well, not really by myself. I made it with Shea, and we call it Crimson Sauce, and it really is the spiciest thing Iāve ever tasted! Here, itās this.]
[Heehhhā¦ā¦ It has a beautiful ruby-like color.]
I wonder whyā¦ā¦ I have a really bad feeling about that. What Megiddo-san took out was, just as Kuro said, a peculiar sauce with a clear ruby-red color, and it looked really beautiful. However, I have a really bad feeling about it.
[M- Megiddo-san? Was the ingredient used for that thing brought by Shea-sanā¦ā¦]
[Unnn? Yeah, she apparently got it about 2 years ago, cultivated and increased her stock, and after that, we came up with this sauce through trial and error.]
[Heehhhā¦ā¦ A sauce worth 2 years of research huh. In that case, this should be highly perfected thenā¦ā¦ Letās see.]
[Ahh, wait, Kuro! Thatās definitely very spicy!!!]
[Ahaha, itās alright. Even though I like sweets, I donāt mind spicy food either-]
Without a doubt, one of the ingredients used in that sauce is definitely that ingredient that I had Shiro-san make for me and gave to Shea-san as a thank-you gift. A terrifyingly spicy item that would kill an ordinary person if they ate itā¦ā¦ I hurriedly tried to stop Kuro, but my persuasion ended up in vain, Kuro dipped her finger in the sauce and after licking it, a gentle smile appears on her face.
[ā¦ā¦Hmmmā¦ā¦ I seeā¦ā¦ So thatās how it is.]
[K- Kuro?]
[ā¦ā¦K- K- K- Kuromueina?]
Kuro is smiling. She had a really gentle smile on her face and her voice was unnaturally gentleā¦ā¦ However, I wonder why? Even without my Sympathy Magic telling me, she was brimming with the most anger Iāve ever felt from herā¦ā¦ I also feel like Megiddo-san is completely scared. Rather, even though she should be smiling, why the heck does she look really scary!?
