Though it took quite a bit of time, I finished drinking the coffee that Kuro had prepared. To be honest, there are many where I canāt tell the difference. After all, Iām an amateur, so I canāt tell subtle differences in coffee with just one sip.
However, among them, I picked out about 5 kinds that caught my interest or simply suited my taste.
[ā¦ā¦I think these are the ones that might go well with baby castellas.]
[Ohh, as expected from Kaito-kun! My opinion might also be close to thatā¦ā¦ I was thinking this or this might be good too.]
[Yeah, those two certainly are top-level among what I sampled. They also seem to pair well with baby castellas, so with our opinions aligning, these should be good?]
[Unn, unn. Since these are coffee chosen by the main members of the Baby Castella Adoration Association, me and Kaito-kun, thereās no doubting that!]
Iād prefer it if she didnāt make me a key member of an obscure fan club I donāt remember joiningā¦ā¦ With how Ein-san also gave me some inexplicable position like Maid Advisor without me knowing, I guess this master and servant duo really would resemble each other huhā¦ā¦
[Thanks, Kaito-kun! This was very helpful!]
[Iām glad I could be of helpā¦ā¦ That said, even though I only had one sip each, that was still quite a lot.]
[Unn, it might have been a bit too manyā¦ā¦ I had so much fun restructuring them that I may have made too much.]
[Well, you do tend to go overboard when it comes to baby castellasā¦ā¦]
[Eh? T- Thatās totally not the caseā¦ā¦ right? Iām just a bit, umm, a bit passionate when it comes to baby castellasā¦ā¦ is itā¦ā¦ no good?]
[If you yourself arenāt confident about it being otherwise, just give up and admit it.]
[Ughā¦ā¦ Yes.]
I mean, Kuro was aware she goes overboard when it comes to baby castellas huhā¦ā¦ It seems like her excitement just makes her lose control, and unlike Eden-san or Ein-san, she is reflecting on her actions. Based on what Iāve seen so far, I have a feeling that those reflections donāt really lead to improvementsā¦ā¦
[Well, that said, Kuro being on a rampage is still cute when compared to Eden-sanās.]
[Kaito-kun, Kaito-kun, even I would get shocked when you compare me to herā¦ā¦ Errrā¦ā¦ Ahh~~ Thatās right, just remembered something! I brought some snacks to share with you, Kaito-kun!]
[ā¦ā¦You were losing the argument and have now changed the topic huh.]
Given that Kuro is aware that sheās aware she does go overboard, continuing this topic would be disadvantageous for herā¦ā¦ I mean, knowing she had almost no chance of breezing through this topic, she changed the subject to dodge away from this discussion.
Seeing this rare, vulnerable side of hers that she probably doesnāt show to others, I couldnāt help chuckling. Kuro going on a rampage really is just cute. Even so, itās fun to hang out with herā¦ā¦
[Well, nevermindā¦ā¦ So, what did you bring?]
[Tadaaa! Itās this!]
[This isā¦ā¦ a pot filled with pudding?]
[Yep. Thereās a small shop in a city east of Archlesia Empire. Itās basically a shop that deals with ceramics, but they sometimes make their own pudding and sell it in these special ceramic containers. Itās a delicious pudding known to those in the know.]
[Heehhhā¦ā¦ the container is stylish, and it certainly looks delicious.]
Kuro, who has a hobby of food touring, sometimes brings over sweets she likes. As expected from someone who has written several food guidebooks, Kuroās choices are always spot on, and what she brings is always delicious.
[Iāve got custard and chocolate flavors. Which one would you like, Kaito-kun?]
[Hmm. I think Iāll go with the basic custard.]
[Okay, then Iāll have the chocolate. Here, the spoon.]
[Ah, a spoon also comes as a set with the ceramic huhā¦ā¦ Itās certainly stylish.]
I took the spoon and took a bite right away, and as I thought, it was incredibly delicious. It wasnāt refined like high-end puddings but had a simple, gentle homemade taste that was wonderful.
[Kaito-kun, try out chocolate too. Here, ahhhn.]
[Thanksā¦ā¦ Unn, the chocolate is good tooā¦ā¦ Kuro too, want to try out the custard?]
[Ahhhnā¦ā¦ Mmm, delish! Ehehe, itās strange how when I eat with Kaito-kun, the food tastes even better than when I eat it on my eating tours.]
Seeing Kuro smiling happily like that made me smile as well. Just like that, occasionally feeding each other as we did before, we enjoyed our pudding.
[Afterword]
Serious-senpai: [ā¦ā¦Just when I thought we were talking about coffee, these two suddenly started flirting with each other. I felt like Iād been suddenly slapped when I let my guard downā¦ā¦]
? ? ?: [ā¦ā¦With all the times youāve been suddenly slapped like that, why are you still so carelessā¦ā¦ You some kind of complacent queen or what?]
