Chapter 1498 - Seeking More Possibilities of Baby Castellas ③
We moved on from Frea-san’s place and headed for Magnawell-san’s dwelling. The huge Magnawell-san was easy to spot, so we easily saw him.
“Unnn? Oh, if it isn’t Kuromueiina and Miyama Kaito, how nice of you to come.”
[Hello, Magnawell-san.]
[Sorry for the sudden visit, Magnawell. I’m here today to consult with you about the possibilities of baby castellas.]
“I see you’re the same as ever……”
After Magnawell-san muttered with a slightly astounded expression on his face, a magic circle appeared in front of us, from which Magnawell-san’s old gentleman clone appeared.
Speaking of which, he now has that clone, so he can now eat them like us huh……. I mean, he was eating baby castellas back in the Founding Festival…… so I guess he is an appropriate person to ask advice from.
[If it had been the me back then, I would have said I don’t know because my physique doesn’t allow me to eat properly, but now that I can eat, I can’t say that now huh.]
[Speaking of which, that clone sure is amazing. With that thing’s high efficiency, I think only someone of Shiro’s level would have made it……]
[Indeed. I wonder where Shalltear got this thing from……]
[Well, Shalltear has a lot of contacts that we don’t know about after all.]
Indeed, being able to make a clone for Magnawell-san is amazing. I don’t really know much about the particulars regarding making clones, but if that’s what Magnawell-san himself and Kuro says, the clone Magnawell-san is using is definitely a lot more efficient than normal clones.
If it’s something that made Kuro and Magnawell-san surprised, I feel like it would be difficult for people who aren’t World Creator-levels like Shiro-san or Eden-san.
It is possible that Shiro-san was surprisingly the one who created it. Even though the two of them hadn’t interacted that much, it seems like they did have some sort of transaction in strange ways, such as how Alice received that amusement park or when Alice asked Shiro-san for some of the building materials for my home……
[Well, putting that aside, baby castellas, right…… Fumu. I’ve eaten a lot of different food since I got this body, and I particularly like that miso Neun shared with me.]
[Yeah, miso is delicious, isn’t it? It goes well with a lot of different foods……]
[Umu. And I like that thing where miso paste is spread and grilled…… what’s its name again……]
[Miso paste was spread and grilled…… Are you talking about miso dengaku-yaki or saikyo-yaki?]
[Ah, I know that saikyo-yaki. It’s that dish with fish coated in miso and grilled, right?]
It seems that Magnawell-san is a fan of miso. Hmmm, that somehow fits his image. However, since he looks like an old gentleman, I feel like tea or something like that would suit him more……
Meanwhile, since she has Neun-san in her family, as expected, Kuro knows a fair amount about miso, and she knew about saikyo-yaki as if it were common knowledge. However, based on her tone, it seems like she doesn’t know about miso dengaku-yaki. Well, even though I heard of it myself, I’ve never actually tried it……
[However, I see, spreading miso on it before grilling it sounds good. I’ve made miso-filled baby castellas before, but grilling baby castellas with miso pasted on its surface certainly feels different.]
[Well, it’s true that if you adjust the taste of the baby castella a bit, it might not be a bad match……]
I feel like regular baby castellas would go well with it to some extent, but since something called miso sweets actually exists, I think it could turn out delicious depending on how she makes them.
However, just winging it would be difficult, so if she’s gonna spread miso on it, it would probably be a good idea if she gets advice from someone who is good at cooking like Alice.
[That was helpful. Thanks, Magnawell. Ah, right, right, Magnawell should eat baby castellas too. Since you can eat now, it would be a waste if you don’t eat baby castellas. And so, I’ll give these to you~~]
[Fumu, well, since we’re at it———— Wait, oi, oi! That isn’t an amount that can be consumed by my clone!]
As if it’s the most obvious thing in the world, Kuro gave Magnawell-san a mountain of baby castellas…… As for whether she was seriously intending to give all those to him or she was actually just having trouble disposing of that amount and is now pushing them off to Magnawell-san, that is a mystery.
Well, since it’s Kuro, it’s possible that she was seriously just sharing them to Magnawell-san….. but that being said, I wonder how is it that Kuro disposes of her occasional baby castella failures?
[……Kuro, I have one question.]
[Unnn? What is it?]
[What do you do with your occasional failed baby castellas? There’s no way you eat all of them, right?]
[Ahh, unnn. I rewind time and revert them back to ingredients.]
[……Ahh~ Is that so.….. I see.]
I should have known. Come to think of it, she’s almost omnipotent and was able to do a lot of things. I had inadvertently judged things based on my common sense, but she’s actually able to rewind the time of those baby castellas and revert them back as ingredients huh. If that’s the case, she can reuse them and there would be no food loss.
……Then, can’t you just collect the failures in my magic box too? No, well, they do have times that they’re useful…… as a punishment…… although there was a certain perverted bird that actually seemed to enjoy it though……
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [Ahh, I see, Kaito only remembers Makina in his dreams, so he hadn’t thought of the connection between Alice and Makina……]
Makina : [Rather, they are making it so that he doesn’t come to that conclusion. No, it isn’t like they needed to persistently hide this…… but if Shallow Vernal knows that I sometimes bring my beloved child’s mind around, gray area it may have been, she will definitely complain about it……]
