**********

As the warm sun shone through the window, I was wondering what I was going to have for lunch today.

[鈥︹€ike I said, Kai-chan will be 鈥渆ating the bento I made鈥? so you can just go home, Death King.]

[鈥︹€t鈥檚 Fate鈥︹€?who should go home鈥︹€?Do your job.]

The temperature was especially nice today, and I felt like I could take a nice nap. There鈥檚 a place that looked like a lawn in Lilia-san鈥檚 garden, and I鈥檇 really like to take a nap there~~

It might be even better lying down there if I have a pet. Napping with a cat on your lap is a situation I鈥檇 really love to be in.

[I can just leave the work to God of Time and Space! That aside, I should be the one questioning you, Death King! Thoughtlessly coming to the Human Realm, don鈥檛 you understand the clamor you鈥檙e making?]

[鈥︹€on鈥檛 worry鈥︹€?Lillywood鈥︹€?will take care of it.]

On such a fine day, it might be nice to eat outside. It would be fun to invite Kusunoki-san and Yuzuki-san, and have a picnic among the Summoning Bystanders group.

Well, the place we鈥檇 be having a picnic would probably be the mansion鈥檚 garden鈥︹€?/p>

[Kai-chan, you listening?]

[鈥︹€aito鈥︹€?which bento鈥︹€?do you want to eat?]

[鈥︹€︹€︹€︹€︹€

Unnn, let鈥檚 stop trying to escape reality. Letting out a big sigh, I turned my gaze to the two bento boxes that were offered to me.

[鈥︹€ mean, in the first place, why am I in this situation鈥︹€

I鈥檓 pretty sure it all started about a dozen minutes ago. As she had promised to do since yesterday, Isis-san came to visit Lilia-san鈥檚 mansion.

Thereupon, Fate-san had come to visit me without an appointment, and before I knew it, they had somehow ended up glaring at each other.

[You see, the way to a man鈥檚 heart is through his stomach, right? That鈥檚 why I decided to make an investment so that Kai-chan would support me in the future鈥︹€?It was troublesome, incredibly troublesome, but I did my best to make lunch for Kai-chan!]

[鈥︹€- Is that so.]

[鈥︹€ wanted鈥︹€?to feed Kaito鈥︹€?something delicious鈥︹€?so even though I don鈥檛 know how to cook鈥︹€?I studied鈥︹€?and made this for you.]

[T- Thank you very much.]

I鈥檓 not sure what to do鈥︹€?To be honest, at this point, about 90% of me would rather eat with Isis-san. Compared to Fate-san, whose thoughts were filled with ulterior motives and stressed how everything she did was just troublesome, I felt a genuine fondness from Isis-san.

At this point, the differences between them were just like the differences between angels and demons, but I also couldn鈥檛 ignore Fate-san, who even though she had ulterior motives, did take the trouble to make a bento for me.

However, both of the bento boxes they offered to me were quite large, about the size of multi-layered lunch boxes. Eating both of them would be too tough for me.

With that being the case, I could eat half of both bentos鈥︹€?but putting aside Fate-san鈥檚 bento, I don鈥檛 feel comfortable leaving anything in Isis-san鈥檚 bento. Fate-san鈥檚 bento, well, I don鈥檛 mind not finishing hers鈥︹€?/p>

[鈥︹€ey, Kai-chan? I don鈥檛 know if it鈥檚 just my imagination or not, but why do I feel like I鈥檓 being insulted in Kai-chan鈥檚 mind?]

[It鈥檚 just your imagination.]

[Kai-chan, a beautiful girl such as I have cooked for you, you know? Isn鈥檛 this the part where you cry, overcome with emotions?]

[It won鈥檛 work when you say it yourself.]

As I gave appropriate responses to the unexpectedly perceptive Fate-san, Isis-san spoke to me with a worried expression on her face.

[鈥︹€aito鈥︹€?Are you alright? 鈥︹€f you鈥檙e not hungry鈥︹€?How about eating it later?]

[No, I was just about to have lunch. I鈥檓 really glad for your concern, Isis-san.]

[鈥︹€ow strange. There鈥檚 an obvious difference in the way you respond to me and Death King, don鈥檛 you think?]

[It鈥檚 just your imagination.]

My treatment towards her may have been sloppy, but of course, I was still happy to hear that Fate-san cooked for me.

I鈥檓 a guy after all. I鈥檓 grateful that Isis-san and Fate-san, two beautiful girls, cooked for me.

[鈥︹€hh, that鈥檚 right! Since we鈥檙e at it, how about us three eat together? If that鈥檚 the case, even this amount鈥︹€

[Alright~~ Putting aside sweets, it鈥檚 been quite a while since I鈥檝e had a proper meal~~]

[鈥︹€ think the last time for me鈥︹€?was 鈥渁bout 4000 years ago鈥濃€︹€

[鈥︹€h?]

Hearing Isis-san say that this would be her first meal in 4000 years, I couldn鈥檛 help but tilt my head. Thereupon, perhaps sensing my question, Fate-san explained.

[Ahh~~ Kai-chan. Death King and I are a little different from Humans. Eating and sleeping aren鈥檛 a necessity for us, they鈥檙e more like a hobby.]

[I see鈥︹€

[Well, leaving that aside鈥︹€?I guess I鈥檒l start opening up my bento then?]

Talking somewhat laxly, Fate-san placed her large bento on the table and opened its lid.

What emerged from inside were only fruits and vegetables of various colors鈥︹€?and nothing other than that.

[鈥︹€h? W- Wait, Fate-san? What鈥檚 this?]

[A bento.]

[鈥︹€o me, it just looked like a box of peeled fruits and vegetables, thrown in the box raw鈥︹€

[鈥︹€ai-chan.]

[Yes?]

[Even if it鈥檚 just peeling them鈥︹€?Don鈥檛 you think that鈥檚 a good enough effort from me?]

[鈥︹€︹€︹€︹€︹€︹€

W- Where the heck am I supposed to throw a tsukkomi here? With no ingenuity nor intentions in mind, it seemed like she just threw peeled food in there鈥︹€?/p>

I don鈥檛 understand. I really don鈥檛 understand. After showing off this kind of bento, why the heck does Fate-san look so smug鈥︹€?/p>

[鈥︹€ate-san, does this look delicious to you?]

[Nope, not at all! To be honest, it looks like animal feed to me.]

[Then, why did you bring this here!?]

[鈥︹€ just thought I could get away with it.]

Where鈥檚 her guardian鈥︹€?Chronois-san? I beg of you, please bring this person back as soon as possible鈥︹€?/p>

[鈥︹€ate鈥︹€?You can鈥檛鈥︹€?feed Kaito鈥︹€?that bento.]

[To be honest, I was also thinking that I鈥檝e cut too many corners, but then, I also thought it should work with love as its cover!]

[鈥︹€ think鈥︹€?that won鈥檛 work.]

[Kuhhh鈥︹€?T- Then, what kind of bento did you bring, Death King?]

[鈥︹€ properly made鈥︹€?Kaito鈥檚 favorite food.]

The animal feed鈥︹€?Fate-san鈥檚 bento was removed by Isis-san from the table. And now, in front of me is the bento box Isis-san brought.

Even so, my favorite food? Is it hamburger steak or fried shrimp? No, but have I ever told Isis-san what my favorite food is?

With these questions in mind, I took the lid off the bento box鈥︹€?and saw that it was crammed full of 鈥渂aby castellas鈥?

Eh? What is this? A baby castella bento? This is my favorite food鈥︹€?No, no, this isn鈥檛 my favorite food!!!

[鈥︹€- Isis-san? W- What in the world is this鈥︹€

[鈥︹€ asked鈥︹€?Kuromueina鈥︹€?what Kaito鈥檚 favorite food is.]

It really is that baby castella spirit鈥檚 doing!!! Why the heck are you going around telling people that this is my favorite food!?

[鈥︹€o, Isis-san. It鈥檚 not that I like baby castellas鈥︹€

[鈥︹€- Is鈥︹€?that so? 鈥︹€鈥檓鈥︹€?sorry鈥︹€

[Ahh~~ No, I just remembered! I loved baby castellas even more than my three meals a day! Well~~ I鈥檓 really happy, I鈥檝e never seen such a nice bento before~~]

[鈥︹€hank goodness鈥︹€?I鈥檓 glad that鈥︹€?Kaito is happy.]

I was going to tell Isis-san that she was mistaken, but when I saw the sad expression on her face, I immediately revised my words.

Even if they鈥檙e baby castellas, it didn鈥檛 change the fact that Isis-san did her best to make them for me鈥︹€?As for correcting the wrong information she had acquired, I鈥檒l just figure out how to tell that to Isis-san without hurting her while we eat.

That鈥檚 right, if it鈥檚 to see Isis-san鈥檚 smile鈥︹€?J- Just this many baby castellas is easy-peasy for me.

[As expected, there really is a difference between the way you treat Death King and I, don鈥檛 you think?]

[It鈥檚 just your imagination.]

After briefly answering Fate-san鈥檚 question, I took on the challenge of eating this stack of baby castellas.

On this day, a new trauma to baby castellas was engraved in my mind.
