Chapter 2

How’s za menu development going, Shio? Smooth? Good? Great~???

Ate~?

It’s fine, I guess. I just finished one dish. Do you want to give it a taste?

Yes, me!!!

It’s a chili pepper parfait layered with homemade corn flakes sprinkled with chilli chips and ice cream mixed with chilli.

Th-This is…!

BEEP! BEEP! Warning! Danger!

…You said you wanted an out-of-this-world menu, right? It’s pretty spicy, but I’m confident in the taste. Go ahead if you can handle it.

Bright red and kawaii! This is the eccentricity I’ve been looking for!

I’m digging in! With both the ice cream and flakes together in one bite~!

What.

Nom.

(He’s kidding, right…? And the entire chili used for decoration too…!?)

So…

SO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT~~~~!!!!!!

I-It’s because you ate so much of that all in one bite…!? Cold water… No, normal ice cream…!? I’ll go get something…!

…...

I’ve brought you ice cream. Please eat…this…

………………

Yowa, san…?

Nngha~?

Eeek!?

–This ice cream is deliiiicious!!

Phew~ The chili parfait was a masterpiece, but that extreme spiciness reaaaally got me there! But well~ I’ve heard a lot of humans aren’t good with spicy food. A bitter decision, but I guess we’ll have to scrap this one~

….

However, the overall direction is perfect, so no need to get your feathers ruffled up! Keep going at this pace with full blast~!

Huh… What…?

And something like that happened…

Yowa-san’s face changed, and he had eyes you’ve never seen before?

Aren’t you just sleep-deprived since you’ve been putting so much effort into menu development recently? Or maybe it’s eye strain from being on your phone too much.

I recommend you head to bed early tonight.

(So it was just my imagination after all…? I should go to bed early tonight as Muu-chan said…)
