573-I wonder if it's okay






 Differences in values and interests. I suppose they exist everywhere. Even on earth, if you travel abroad, you may be puzzled by these differences.
 So if you have moved to a completely different world, as I have now, the differences should be very big.

 But this world is heavily influenced by the world I was in, and I can feel the uniqueness of the earth in its own culture, so it's easy to adapt to it.
 Of course, there are things like magic and polygamy that puzzled me, but I can say that I'm more or less comfortable with it now.

 But unfortunately, the difference in values is something I've been feeling a great deal. The wall that exists between us and the people who live in this world is a definite barrier.
 Yes, I only want to say one word right now.......why do you exist on the seventh day of the 'baby sponge cake restaurant'?
 It's funny.......because this seventh day, the most popular stores from the previous six days are opening up, right? So, what does that mean, huh? Was this place popular? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

 I really don't think anyone but Black is going to like this place, but why....

''It's the sponsorship privilege of the Six Kings Festival.
....

 But it's not you!
 This is the thing, right? No way is this a pattern where you have to eat a baby sponge cake dish two days in a row, right? Really, how much trauma does the baby sponge cake of this world have to inflict on me to make me feel better?

''Well just for the record, this, the option of going to another store.
No, sir.
...right?

 I would have preferred to go to a different restaurant, but of course White, who has a rivalry with Kuro, wouldn't go through with me going to a restaurant like Kuro the day before.
 Thus, for the second day in a row, I had to taste baby sponge cakes.

 When I entered the restaurant, I was ushered into the VIP section just like the day before and handed a menu. Hmmm... I felt like I was going to get heartburn just looking at the menu, or maybe I was going to have a gestalt meltdown because there were so many words for baby sponge cake, but I had to choose something....

 While I was looking at the menu, realizing that I hadn't worked up an appetite at all, I suddenly found a strange menu item.

'Special menu (thank you cute and witty super beautiful girl)'

 The stupidity I can sense from this sentence is definitely Alice. Could it be that Alice is going to cook for me? Alice's skills are tremendous, and I might even be able to eat a baby sponge cake dish two days in a row.
 Thinking that, I decided to order that special menu.

''Well, how would you like to go, White-san?''
I'm the same as you, Kaijin.

 This is where the difference between us and Black comes into play. Black ordered all the items.

Black ordered all the items.
Huh? Oh, yes. Yes.
But I asked for the same thing as Mr. Kaito.
Yeah, I guess so.
I mean I win.
No, I don't know what the criteria are for winning and losing.

 He's looking a little smug again. It seems like White has more rivalry with Black today than at any other time in his life. Is something wrong?
 As soon as I thought such a question had popped into my head, the food I had ordered was brought to me with surprising speed.

 What was brought to me was somewhat reminiscent of French cuisine, with a large baby sponge cake placed in the center of the plate, with sauce and other things around it.
 Is this a special menu? The baby sponge cake is so big that it makes me shy away from it... but if Alice made it, I'm sure it tastes first class.

''Well, shall we eat it?''
Yes, sir.

 After saying a few words to Shiro-san, he grabbed a fork and knife and cut up a large baby sponge cake and brought it to his mouth. At the point of eating a baby sponge cake with a knife and fork, I feel like there's a lot of things wrong with it - and it's delicious!
 This looks like a baby sponge cake, but it's not! This is "meat"!

 The texture and such is similar to a hamburger and easy to eat, and it goes well with the surrounding sauce. I see, so the special menu is not a dish that uses baby sponge cake, but 'a dish that looks like baby sponge cake'.......
 Thank you so much, Alice! I'll definitely buy you barbecue next time!

"Kaito.
'What? Oh, yes. What's going on?
Uh-huh.
...Yes?
Uh-huh.

 When I was moved by Alice's wonderful follow-up, for some reason, Shiro-san had stabbed his food into my fork and offered it to me.
 Although he was still expressionless and had no inflection in his voice.......but apparently he wants me to eat it.

 It's terribly embarrassing, but since it's White-san, he won't accept a refusal. I open my mouth with an emotion that is somewhat like resignation.

''How do you like it?''
Well, it's good.
'I see, what does the food you're eating taste like, Kaito-san?
No, no, it's the same dish.
'What does the food you're eating taste like, Kaito-san?
Would you like some?
Thank you, sir.

 I understood what White was asking for, so I quietly stabbed my food into my fork and let him eat it.
 While ordering the same dish, this blatant appeal is just as good as White's. This brazenness and naturalness is truly tremendous.

"I get embarrassed when someone compliments me so much.

 I never praise you. I'll say it again because it's important, but I never compliment you.

 Dear Mom and Dad - no, really, White is giggling today, or maybe he's even more troubled than usual. Just what is it? I can see that you're having so much fun, and I can't help but think - well, it's okay.
