When I took the seat that Gluttony-san had prepared for me, they deeply bowed their head to me before speaking.
āIād like to prepare it immediately, but this form is a little inconvenient for me, so Iāll change my form. My apologies for showing you something unsightly.ā
As she said this, the body of the stuffed toy grew larger, pulsating and after a little while, it changed into a humanoid form that looked exactly like Natasha-san.
They have the same face and height, except their hair is white and their dress is black, the complete opposite of Natasha-sanās color scheme.
[Errr, is that your true form, Gluttony-san?]
āIām a Demon with no fixed form, and I can change my appearance at will. However, if I were to say what my original form is, it would be a huge lump of flesh that wasnāt suitable for doing detailed work, so I imitated Natashaās form this time.ā
[I seeā¦ā¦ Is Natasha-san a normal Demon?]
āNo, Natasha is a being I had createdā¦ā¦ As I mentioned earlier, my original form is a huge lump of flesh, and by using a part of it as a catalyst, I can create life with a certain amount of power in it, though there are various limitations to it, such as the number of life forms I can create in a day. I call these creatures Iāve created {Dimensional Beasts}.ā
They could create life forms huhā¦ā¦ It seems to have various limitations though, so itās probably not as inexhaustible as Life-san, the God of Lifeās power, but itās still a tremendous power.
āNatasha is my greatest masterpiece among the Dimensional Beasts that I have created, and she is also among the top among the Count-ranks. For this reason, I usually have her act as my stand-in.ā
In response to Gluttony-sanās words, Natasha-san, who was waiting in the back, gave a bow. Iāve felt this even in the first time weāve met, but Natasha-san doesnāt convey the same kind of loyalty that Gluttony-san did.
The impression I got from Sympathy Magic was that she was most loyal to Gluttony-san, and although she treated me with respect as someone in a higher position than Gluttony-san, I felt that Gluttony-san was her first priority.
When Gluttony-san said that she was their āgreatest masterpieceā, I could feel her happiness surging up, making me feel like sheās a daughter who adored her parents. That kinda brings a smile to my face.
āNatasha, give Miyama Kaito-sama and Pandora-sama black tea.ā
After giving instructions to Natasha-san, Gluttony-san moved towards the grotesque monster, took out a knife and cut the kaiju in thinā¦ā¦ ham-like pieces, and presented them to me on a plate in the shape of a flower.
āHere you go, please enjoy your meal.ā
Well, there are a few things Iād like to throw a tsukkomi at. Looking at the teacups that Natasha-san had prepared, I guess that would be the black tea that Gluttony-san had mentioned earlier.
My face feels like scrunching up with the combination of black tea and meat, but what Iām more concerned about is Pandora-san, who has been looking at me with deep concern for a while now.
Pandora-san, who is usually more of a lunatic, has a face like that because of the foodā¦ā¦ This means that I need to have a certain amount of determination.
The option to refuse themā¦ā¦ is unfortunately difficult. At any rate, Gluttony-san was being 100% hospitable, and even now, they were looking at me with sparkling eyes, as if they were hoping that I would like it.
They were currently imitating Natasha-sanās appearance, and being directed such a gaze from a petite girlā¦ā¦ I couldnāt afford to refuse her.
Well, if Pandora-san and Alice arenāt moving to stop her, it means that this meat isnāt poisonous at allā¦ā¦ Pandora-san is looking really worried though, so Iām pretty sure that it doesnāt taste goodā¦ā¦
[ā¦ā¦Hereās your tea.]
[ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦Thank you.]
The cup that Natasha-san placed in front of me was a āgoopy pitch-black liquid that seemingly has a gleaming shine to itāā¦ā¦ Is this āheavy crude oilā?
[Well then, thank you for the meal.]
In order not to show my uneasiness, I brought the kaiju ham to my mouthā¦ā¦ As long as I donāt think of its original form, it looks like a normal lean ham, but the problem isā¦ā¦ this thing really tastes badā¦ā¦
First of all, the texture is dreadful, feeling as if Iām eating a pounded fish cakeā¦ā¦ but it was strangely grainy. The texture was unpleasant to say the least, but more than that, the taste was quite unique.
Iām supposed to be eating meat, but it tasted like āriver fish with a maxed out fishy smellāā¦ā¦ No, letās stop keeping appearances.
The texture and taste of the food feels like āIām eating mudā.
With that in mind, I reached for the cup of tea (?). This is tea, right? Itās really thick and shiny, but itās really not heavy crude oil, right? Well, I guess Iāll find out when I drink itā¦ā¦ I see, this is quite intense.
It was goopy like honey, but it had this flavor that was hard to describeā¦ā¦ However, it has a strong odor. How should I say thisā¦ā¦ It feels like my mouth has this smell of āa rag used to wipe your bedā.
No, itās not like Iāve ever drunk it, but I imagine that the water squeezed out from that rag would take like this.
Well, as for my impression after eating and drinking itā¦ā¦ Itās only on the ālevel where Iād say it doesnāt taste goodā, so āit isnāt so badā.
