Chapter 1500 Seeking More Possibilities of Baby Castellas ?
This chapter is updated by wuxiaworld.eu
Kuro, with a gentle and benevolent smile, but with a clear aura of rage brimming from behind her, spoke to the frightened Megiddo-san in a gentle voice.
[Geez, you sure loved pranks, even back then, Megiddo.]
[ā¦ā¦O- Ou?]
As she spoke words delivered in a voice so gentle that it gave me chills, Megiddo-san had a slightly puzzled look on her face. It was as if she didnāt know how to respond.
She glanced at me, seemingly asking for my help, but I too wasnāt sure of Kuroās current state of mind. At least, I didnāt think she was intending to scold Megiddo-san or anything like that.
[You canāt do that, this is poison, isnāt it? I may be fine consuming this, but you canāt play pranks like this on the other kids.]
[Eh? Ah, no, itās not poisonoāāāā]
[This is poison, isnāt it?]
[-ah, yes. Itās poison. W- Well~~ I just got the urge to play a prank, hahahaā¦ā¦]
Well, it apparently does kill normal people when they eat it, so I guess calling it poison really isnāt wrong. For a second, the thought that āKuroās failed baby castellas are also like poisonā crossed my mind, but unfortunately, I didnāt have the courage to say that in front of Kuro, especially with how frightening she was right now.
But for the time being, it seemed that she wasnāt mad at Megiddo-san. She seemed to be willing to settle this matter in the direction that the ingredient she just used was just a prank from Megiddo-san.
[Unnn, unnn. So, where is the real ingredient that you were suggesting to me?]
[ā¦ā¦Eh? Ah, noā¦ā¦]
[No more pranks, okay?]
[ā¦ā¦O- Ou.]
For the time being, it seems like theyāre gonna settle this like the Crimson Sauce didnāt exist at all. Megiddo-san looked around, clearly flustered by Kuroās words, and sweating profusely, she bent down and whispered to me.
[ā¦ā¦Kaito, help me out here. H- How much spiciness is considered alright?]
[I think the spiciness Megiddo-san considers too sweet should be enough.]
In any case, Megiddo-san, who wanted to make Kuroās mood get better, took my advice and hurriedly brought out a new sauce.
[W- Well~~ Iām sorry, Kuromueina. This is the sauce for the spicy food.]
[Heehhhā¦ā¦ So itās this huh. Letās seeā¦ā¦]
Watching Kuro take a lick off the sauce, Megiddo-san looked nervous. Just watching her acting like that made me feel my back straightening as well.
And then, Kuro, who licked the sauce, showed a normal smile that was different from what was on her face just now.
[I see, it does feel interesting to make baby castellas with this.]
[Y- Yeahā¦ā¦ I- Iām glad you like it.]
[ā¦ā¦By the way, Megiddo-san, even I think thereās no way youāre gonna do that, but you donāt intend to distribute that Crimson Sauce just now to the general public, right? You canāt do that, okay? That thing would literally kill normal people out of shock if they consumed it, so you have to think carefully about who you feed that to.]
[O- Ou, g- got it.]
[Unnn. Well then, thank you for your suggestion. Kaito-kun, letās go?]
[Y- Yeah, alright. Megiddo-san, weāll be excusing ourselves.]
[Ou, see you later.]
For the time being, it seemed that Megiddo-san wasnāt going to suffer a terrible fate, so I bid Megiddo-san goodbye with a somewhat relieved expression on my face before Kuro and I left with Teleportation Magic.
The place we arrived at is a place where there was nothing around, and once we got thereā¦ā¦ Kuroās face warped to a frown.
[ā¦ā¦Geez, whatās with that spiciness!? Even spiciness should have its limits!!!]
[Ahh, as I thought, it really was that spicy huh.]
[Really spicy! I knew that Megiddo liked spicy food, but I canāt use ingredients that would kill people out of shock by eating itā¦ā¦ I mean, for an ingredient that spicy, I couldnāt feel that from its smell.]
[That was originally something made using an ingredient created by Shiro-sanā¦ā¦ Well, it was me who gave that to Shea-san.]
[I knew it! Only Shiro can make such an unusually spicy, yet odorless itemā¦ā¦ Seriously, Shiro just doesnāt know what moderation isā¦ā¦]
She was trying not to show it on her face until a while ago, but it seems that it really was quite spicy, making her a little angry. But even when she tasted something like that, she didnāt blame or scold Megiddo-san for it, just advising her to be careful about distribution. I guess thatās to be expected from Kuro huh, what an adult-like way of dealing with things.
[Geez, that seriously tasted like a sacrilege to food.]
[ā¦ā¦That sure is rich coming from someone who usually desecrates food.]
[Shalltear? You saying something?]
[Ahh, no, nothing at all!!!]
Alice, who appeared mid-conversation, muttered out a sound argument like a straightforward fireball, but after being glared at by Kuro, she quickly disappeared.
Well, even so, although this is unrelated ā¦ā¦ but the fact that she showed me her dissatisfaction, which was something she didnāt show to Megiddo-san and the others, was proof that she considered me special, making me slightly happy.
