Chapter 2

Here, Toi. The oil will fly everywhere, so just wait over there. I’ll go grill them.

Yay! Thank you, Ani-sama!

Umuuuu…

What shall I do? Shall I arrange them like this?

The hell is he doing?

He’s skewering something… I just hope it’s edible.

I think you’ll find out soon. Let’s leave him be for now.

Mhm. In the end, this order is definitely the best! And for the last part, just stab this in–

Tada–! It’s done! My exclusive, colorful, fluffy human skewer~!

I see, you were making a marshmallow skewer.

Thank goodness. If it’s marshmallows, then we’re fine. Even though the appearance looks merciless.

Waah, it looks like a gingerbread cookie! It’s so colorful and cute~!

Yep! This is great, no~? I shall grant you permission to take inspiration from me.

Well then, let’s get burning~!

Woah, you idiot! You can’t just throw it into the fire!

Noooooo! My marshmallows got burnt in the blink of an eye~!!

I-It’s fine! There’s still a lot of marshmallows left. Let’s roast some new ones, okay?

Uegh, it failed~. Gii and Ryui are ruined too…

What?

…Why me?

I put your names onto it! Here. These marshmallows are shaped like humans, mhm? This is Daa, and this one’s Yoda–

I see. You named the marshmallows after us?

Eh? Then, that means I went up in flames?

Went up in flames. We shall only hope that this Gii won’t fall into the same fate.

You bastard, what do you think you’re–

So this is how Netaro-san sees us? Everyone’s so cute~!

…You better make sure Toi’s marshmallow stays intact.

If the marshmallows represent us… Does that mean this sausage at the far right is you?

Ding ding! That’s right!

This octopus sausage is super well-done, no? It looks exaaaactly like me~!

Exactly like you? Where?

Hmmm? Is this the only form of me Daa knows? I might look like this right now, but actually—

A-Ah um—.... His hair. He’s talking about his hair.

Look, Netaro’s hair might look normal now, but sometimes when he wakes up, he gets this extreme bed-head and it sticks out like a bunch of octopus tentacles.

Right, Netaro?

Nnnn? Mmm, ya. That’s what I meant.

Huh? Ohh, ok. I don’t really get it, but I got it.

(Phew, we managed to cover it up…)

However, even though the octopus sausage is fine, the marshmallows are all burnt…

Seriously, why are human-shaped things always so fragile?

But that’s what’s cute about it! They look so fluffy that I want to give it a big hug!

Oh, good eye! I see you’re also quite the human connoisseur, Toi. This is what they call cuteness aggression! It’s a super-duper-fluffy thing~! ♪

…Hey, they’re talking about the marshmallows, right?

Um… I believe so?

Fufu, what an innocent smile.

Okie, let’s start grilling the next fluffy skewers! I can’t waiiittt to eat them~!
