Chapter 1488 - Seeking the Possibilities of Baby Castellas ④
Speaking of Lilia-san’s mansion, Aoi-chan and Hina-chan would have been candidates to ask, but they were away at the Adventurers’ Guild, while my parents were also at work, so we went straight from Lilia-san’s mansion to Dr. Vier’s clinic.
In hindsight, I could have gone back to my house and asked Anima and the others, and Nebula for their opinions…… but I realized too late. In the end, we will come back to my house again, so we can just ask her at that time.
[Ahh, Kuromu-sama and Miyama-kun, welcome.]
[I’m sorry for the sudden visit, Vier.]
[No, no, Kuromu-sama and Miyama-sama are always welcome here. Your timing is also just right, as I have just finished the morning treatment and am taking a break.]
When we visited the clinic, Dr. Vier greeted us with a bright smile. She then prepared us herb tea, and the three of us talked over tea.
[……And that’s why, I’m looking for the possibilities of baby castellas together with Kaito.]
[Ahaha, Kuromu-sama sure loves baby castellas like usual~~ However, I see, so you want my opinion?]
[Unnn. Do you have any idea in mind, Vier?]
[Hmmm……]
In response to Kuro’s question, Dr. Vier crossed her arms and began to think, and after a while, she looked as if she had come up with something.
[This is my opinion, or perhaps, my request as a doctor…… but it would be nice to have something healthy. Baby castellas are indeed delicious, but they’re not very nutritious. That isn’t a problem for high-ranking Demons like Kuromu-sama and I, but baby castellas aren’t exactly something I can recommend for Humans or weak species.]
[Fumu fumu, do you mean baby castellas with balanced nutrition?]
[That’s right. Putting aside if such a thing is possible or not, it would be nice if such a thing exists. If it’s delicious and nutritionally balanced, it makes it easy for me to recommend.]
[That certainly is a point of view I had not considered before. My meals are just based on my tastes, and as soon as I eat, the ingredients are converted into magic power, so nutrition and such aren’t things I have much to do with, so that’s something I wasn’t conscious of.]
High-ranking Demons like Kuro and Alice don’t consume for nutrition but rather convert them into magic power and absorb them, so a meal’s nutritional balance is irrelevant to them. In extreme cases, they can even eat stones to convert them into magic power, so it really is just a matter of taste.
[However, Dr. Vier’s opinion might be good…… Adding to that information, baby castellas had quite the volume to them, so they’re heavy to eat after meals. If that factor can be removed, it might be easier to eat them after meals.]
[I see, Kaito-kun and the others can’t just eat something and immediately convert it into magic power, right? Hearing about the opinions of various children really is great. There are many ideas that would be hard for just me to come up with.]
As it seemed like she got an idea for making a new baby castella, Kuro nodded with a satisfied expression on her face. With this, we finished with our purpose for visiting Dr. Vier, but since we’ve come all the way here, it’s a leisurely chat time until we finish drinking tea.
[How are things lately, Vier? You blundered something up again?]
[Fufufu, Kuromu-sama. I’m already quite old, so even I can’t be that clumsy any———— Ahh.]
[Oops, fufu. I see you’re still the same as ever. You have to be careful.]
[Ahh……]
Dr. Vier confidently tapped her chest at Kuro’s words, but when she moved her hand back down, her hand touched her cup of herb tea and it almost spilled. However, Kuro prevented the cup from falling down with magic with a wry smile.
[Ahh, that’s right. Vier also became Kaito-kun’s lover, right?]
[Yes, though that’s thanks to Sister Tre being mindful of me……]
[I see~~ Then, I hope the three of us can go on a date some time later.]
[That’s great! That sounds like it will be fun!!!]
Dr. Vier seemed to really admire Kuro, as when she talks to Kuro, she seems to be having fun, and her expression looks a little more childlike than usual.
Watching the two of them was so heartwarming. I mean, when I thought about how their relationship had been like before, I really feel like the two of them being close to each other like this was truly a happy thing.
[Speaking of which, Kuromu-sama? Where are you going after this?]
[Hmmm. I’m not really sure, but I think I’d like to start out with those here in the Human Realm.]
[If you’re looking for novel ideas, I think it might be a good idea to visit Hydra Kingdom. There are a lot of trendy and eccentric things there……]
[There seems to be a lot of seafood there, which is a little disconcerting for me……]
Speaking of which, this might be a digression, but come to think of it, I don’t think I know many people who live in Hydra Kingdom. I guess it’s just Laguna-san and Shigen.o.bu-san?
Well, while thinking about such things, our conversation continued in a calm and happy atmosphere.
Serious-senpai : [Certainly, he has some acquaintances in Archlesia like Amel, Moloch, Chris, and Lilim, but for Hydra, I guess it really is just Laguna and Shigen.o.bu?]
? ? ? : [Well, Catastro is in charge of information control for Hydra Kingdom, so she also lives there.]
Serious-senpai : [Why is she a Guildmaster in Symphonia Kingdom when she’s the Chief Information Officer in Hydra Kingdom?]
? ? ? : [No, she used to be the Guildmaster of the Adventurer in Hydra Kingdom, but there weren’t enough Guildmasters for the Adventurers’ Guild in Symphonia Kingdom, so her transfer to Symphonia Kingdom had been requested from the Adventurers’ Guild side itself.]
