Shortly before we all raided Scott-Massison's facility where Shirogane's sisters were being held captive.

　We were waiting for the Holy Virgin Knights (Jeanne d'Arc) to get ready for the siege, and we were having the last meeting of the raiding operation.

　Speaking of strategy, while I was charging head-on into the building to draw attention to it, Naiya was sneaking in through the window in the back to save her sisters - it was a very simple plan.

　As a diversion, I had no role other than to 'stand out,' and my attention had already shifted to breakfast, which generously satisfied my hunger after an all-nighter.

　And what came out as dessert for that breakfast was--.

That's it!　These are the warabi cakes I know!　This crisp clarity!　That's right, this is a strawberry cake!

　The sight of those refreshing sweets, which were a familiar summer tradition in Japan before my reincarnation, made me somewhat excited to say something.

　Was it the third day of my reincarnation in another world?

　Unlike the black warabi cakes that Uzuki and I received as a souvenir when we went to the next village, which I've never seen before, these are truly "warabi cakes"!　

　But, look, look, look properly! As opposed to me, who's all excited about this.

But Seya, by all appearances, there's no warabi powder in this...?　Because when the bracken powder is mixed in, it turns black. It doesn't turn into such a beautiful transparent cake. I think this is a sweet potato cake made from sweet potatoes...

　Uzuki said, a little confused.

But the horsehair is very good. It's sweet and delicious.
　Hazuki murmured happily as his cheeks relaxed in fascination.

Then I'll order another plate. We've got some money and you don't have to be shy at all. Eat well and grow up, okay?　...Isn't that nice, Uzuki?

　I don't have any money on hand right now, so it's shameful that I'm asking Uzuki to take care of the money for me.

I'm sorry Seya-san, I should have given you the money you needed to live.......of course you don't have to. Hajduki, let's thank Seya-san too.

Yeah, man, thank you!
　Oh.... you're just so cute with a big smile on your face, aren't you!

Clerk!　I'll add another one of these--no, two more!　You can eat about as much of it as you want, right?
Oh, yeah, I'll have it.

　Like a father spoiling his lovely daughter, I called the waiter and ordered two more plates of warabi cakes.

But other than the appearance, the taste and texture are exactly the same as the warabi mochi. But if that's the case, why don't you just sell it as a normal sweet potato cake?
　Uzuki nodded his head, as if he was subtly unconvinced.

Perhaps it's a matter of name recognition. Sweet potato cakes don't have much name recognition, and frankly, they don't sell well.

''Oh, how about your daughter saying 'frankly'...?'''
　It bothered me a little bit, so I gave it a shot - but...

"?　Isn't that the latest buzzword in girlie circles?
You're just saying that to be honest...

　

In other words, since warabi-mochi is a high-class snack, if you can offer something that looks exactly like it with similar ingredients, you'd be better off selling it as a warabi-mochi.

　Uzuki's Got Talent! And then he clapped his hands with a pop.

''Yes, that's what I mean. As expected of a merchant from the imperial capital. The ability to recreate an expensive confectionery with a cheap substitute is not only a matter of imagination and technology, but above all, he knows exactly how to do business in a way that sells well.

　Hmmm, Sasha nodded his head.
　She looks so cool, like a career woman with a great career--.

'This is one thing Travis and Company can't afford to lose!　The 'Shinmeiwaohu Man' project must be accelerated...

　--Hmm?
　Hmm--?

Hello?　I just heard the most curious thing you've ever said to me.　"The word 'Shinmeiwaohu' or something like that...

　I just have a bad feeling about this already, just from the letters?

Sasha, what in the world is this "God's Annihilation Man" thing all about?

Of course it is, of course--
