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 giddo-san.
Alice is also one of the Six Kings, but Alice shouldn’t have any base in the Demon Realm, and since Kuro had already asked her opinion twice, there should be no way she’d ask her for more.
The pace we arrived at with Kuro’s Teleportation Magic was a huge, familiar-looking coliseum.
[Unnn? Ohh, it’s Kuromueina and Kaito! What’s up, suddenly visiting ?]
The one we t at our destination was giddo-san, drinking from a huge sake cup. I heard that people often drink alcohol after training, so I guess she had just finished training.
Sohow, the magic power inside the coliseum is extrely strong, and there are blood stains here and there, and looking closely, the coliseum is also in shambles…… Combined with giddo-san’s appearance, it felt as if this place had just been struck by a Great Demon Lord bringing forth a tragedy.
[giddo, clean the place up before you drink.]
[Unnn? Ohh, yeah, there’s 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. They’re now worth training.]
[……There really is a lot of blood around, but are you sure they’re not dead?]
[Ahh? Them dying is normal. Big deal, not like they can’t be brought back to life when they die anyway.]
[……I- I see……]
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 wouldn’t say they’re Spartan-level…… but I think the War King’s subordinates are filled with people who like challenges. From what I heard from Ozma-san, training with giddo-san is voluntary and not compulsory, but there are always too many applicants, so “a battle to select those who will train with giddo-san” ends up breaking out, so basically everyone joining in training with her would probably be hot-blooded people.
As I was thinking about this, giddo-san lightly clapped her hands, and the blood and other stains around us disappeared, and the broken coliseum returned to normal.
[Since you’ve gone and visited, co and drink with us too! Here!]
[You sure love drinking as always.]
[Thank you.]
Maybe she’s in a good mood from how motivated her subordinates are, she handed 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 giddo-san only has battles and parties in mind. Well, that actually includes training for battle, but in any case, that certainly sounds like giddo-san.
[So, what are you here for?]
[Ahh, I’m seeking for the possibilities of baby castellas with Kaito-kun.]
[Baby castellas huh. Too sweet, hat——— Ahh, no, I’m just a little bad around them.]
giddo-san was about to say she hated baby castellas, but perhaps feeling hesitant to say she hated Kuro’s favorite food, she reiterated that she wasn’t 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, giddo-san spoke.
[There’s that. Why don’t you create spicy baby castellas? If it’s those, I think even I would be able to eat them.]
[giddo loves spicy food after all. Even so, spicy baby castellas huh…… Indeed, it has been a fixed concept that baby castellas have to be sweet. I’ve 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?]
(T/N: 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 sothing like a chili dog……
[Wouldn’t cheese also go well with that?]
[Indeed, spicy flavors and cheese go well together.]
Are you actually making hotdogs or pizzas…… 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 don’t get creative in making them, won’t 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, that’s already totally curry bread…… Well, if they’re excited, I guess it’s fine? For the ti being, it seems that the talk had progressed in the direction of making spicy baby castellas.
Thereupon, at that mont, giddo-san suddenly looked as if she rembered sothing.
[Ahh, speaking of which, I’ve got the most delicious sauce I’ve made recently!]
[Unnn? giddo 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 I’ve ever tasted! Here, it’s this.]
[Heehhh…… It has a beautiful ruby-like color.]
I wonder why…… I have a really bad feeling about that. What giddo-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- giddo-san? Was the ingredient used for that thing brought by Shea-san……]
[Unnn? Yeah, she apparently got it about 2 years ago, cultivated and increased her stock, and after that, we ca up with this sauce through trial and error.]
[Heehhh…… A sauce worth 2 years of research huh. In that case, this should be highly perfected then…… Let’s see.]
[Ahh, wait, Kuro! That’s definitely very spicy!!!]
[Ahaha, it’s alright. Even though I like sweets, I don’t 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 and gave to Shea-san as a thank-you gift. A terrifyingly spicy item that would kill an ordinary person if they ate it…… 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.
[……Hmmm…… I see…… So that’s how it is.]
[K- Kuro?]
[……K- K- K- Kuromueina?]
Kuro is smiling. She had a really gentle smile on her face and her voice was unnaturally gentle…… However, I wonder why? Even without my Sympathy Magic telling , she was brimming with the most anger I’ve ever felt from her…… I also feel like giddo-san is completely scared. Rather, even though she should be smiling, why the heck does she look really scary!?
Serious-senpai : [Doesn’t it feel like giddo’s gonna die?]
? ? ? : [N- No, with Kuro-san’s personality, I don’t think that’s likely. She’s the one who underestimated how spicy that sauce is, so I don’t think she would unreasonably get mad…… but I’m not really sure. Well, for the ti being, let’s make a grave for the gorilla.]
