I apologize to Pandora-san for her concern, but to be honest, the food and drink Gluttony-san served me wasnāt as awful as I thought.
No, it certainly does taste awful. That one is for sure butā¦ā¦ if I were to rate it, it would be on a ārather low levelā.
At least, it wasnāt enough to ruin my expression, which was trained by my motherās cooking and Kuroās failed baby castellas.
Yes, Kuroās failed baby castellas were especially on a whole different level. If Kuroās failed baby castellas were to be divided into ten levels of how awful they taste, the kaiju ham and heavy crude oil-like tea I ate this timeā¦ā¦ would be at best, at a medium level, around level 5.
There was no āburning in my mouth the moment I ate itā, I wasnāt āfeeling like Iām losing my consciousness with every biteā, I wasnāt āfeeling fierce nausea, as if my body refuses to accept what Iām eatingā, nor am I ābeing brought to my knees because my knees couldnāt stand it anymoreā. It was just plain untasty.
To be honest, if it just tastes this awful, I can finish this with a smile on my face. Since āit doesnāt cause any physical damageā, eating this would be easy.
I mean, thinking about it again, I guess that baby castella devilās failed creations were just too devilish. At any rate, the level is really too different from that baby castella that Alice refers to as a dark matter.
As I had such thoughts in mind, I turned to Gluttony-san and spoke with a smile.
[Gluttony-san, thank you for preparing all this for me. I was supposed to have come to express my gratitude, but Iām sorry that you had to prepare all these things.]
āNo! Itās my greatest pleasure to know that Miyama Kaito-sama is pleased!ā
Well, of course, what I gave her was a fake smile. It still doesnāt change that the food tastes awful after all. Iām often told that I wear my emotions on my face, but I donāt think my thoughts are showing in my fake smile.
No, after all, Iām really relieved that itās not on a seriously awful levelā¦ā¦
Thereupon, at that moment, Pandora-san suddenly caught my attention. When Pandora-san saw me thanking Gluttony-san with a smile, she looked really astonished, and brought her hand on her chin, looking like she was thinking about something.
After a few moments, she hugged her head, looking as if she realized something, and after doing that, her eyes became cloudy, and her cheeks were blushing with ecstasy.
Hmmm, I really have a bad feeling about thisā¦ā¦ This may just be my imagination, but right now, within Pandora-sanās mindā¦ā¦
(What!? For him to be smiling like that, c- could it be that Miyama-sama is just like Gluttonyā¦ā¦No, wait, Miyama-samaās sense of taste should have been normal. I know that from the data weāve collected so farā¦ā¦ Hahh!? I- I see!
Miyama-sama is a person who stands much higher than meā¦ā¦ It was a mistake to measure him with my standards in the first place! What a blunder, this is! To worry about Miyama-sama is the same as underestimating himā¦ā¦ That was quite presumptuous of meā¦ā¦ I must reflect on this! And I need to have greater loyalty than ever before!!!)
-or something like that. No, that was just my imaginationā¦ā¦ but that really was just my imagination, right? My thoughts werenāt fitting to a tee, right? Things like her affection towards me getting bigger than before was just my imagination, right?
Incidentally, Iām going to digress, but Pandora-sanās loyalty and affection is incomparable to Gluttony-sanās fanaticism.
Basing it on the emotions I feel from my Sympathy Magicā¦ā¦ If Gluttony-sanās emotions were like a flash flood, Pandora-sanās were like a large tsunamiā¦ā¦ their scales were just too different.
Anyhow, Pandora-sanās emotions were so great that itās heavy, and her loyalty and affection are off the chartsā¦ā¦ so much that the word āYandereā comes to my mind.
ā¦ā¦Eh? Eden-san? That person is āon a whole nother levelā. Her level is already on the level where āthe whole world will sink into the seaā or āthe universe will be swallowed up by the seaā, so her love couldnāt be expressed on the same level as natural disasters.
Well, letās just put her aside for now and eat what was served.
āMiyama Kaito-sama! If you want, how about some secondsā¦ā¦ā
ā¦ā¦H- Hmmm, I may be calm with it, but awful food tastes awful, so I donāt really want to have refillsā¦ā¦ but itās kinda hard to refuse.
As for why that is, it was just that Gluttony-san looked really happyā¦ā¦ Looking quite excited after seeing someone who āunderstands their tasteāā¦ā¦ and it was extremely hard to say no when she looked at me with such twinkling eyes.
ā¦ā¦It canāt be helped. For the sake of a good relationship with her in the future, Iāll just accept her kindness.
Well, that aside, it would still be impossible to eat up the whole kaiju due to how big it is, so Iād like it if Gluttony-san suitably stops offering me seconds soon.
ā¦ā¦Also, Iād like it if they would change the tea. Putting aside its taste, with how goopy it is, it isnāt moistening my throat at all.
