The sweets that Canalis-san prepared all had an elegant atmosphere, with a luxurious feel that seemed fit for nobles and the wealthy.
However, they weren’t all just artistic and refined things that make you wonder how to eat them; there were also simple cakes available.
[……Is this dome-like thing perhaps…… one of those that you pour milk over to melt?]
[Yes, it’s a chocolate dome. We wanted to keep a playful spirit, and while it’s simple, doesn’t it make you excited?]
[It certainly does, and I’m actually excited right now…… O- Ohh…… There’s a fruitcake inside?][It pairs well with chocolate after all. Incidentally, the fruitcake inside is made with fruits from different countries, so the combination of fruits varies slightly depending on the country. The one in front of Kaito-sama is made with fruits from Symphonia Kingdom.]
[That’s amazing. But there also seems to be a lot of stuff here that looks difficult to prepare.]
[Well, with this kind of dessert, the visual impact is also important. It’s about creating that wow factor. But well, rest assured, every staff member I create is going to be given the highest level of confectionery skills, so they can easily make even the most challenging items. Oh, and by the way, the one Kaito-sama is eating right now, I made it myself. Tahaa~~ Sorry for scoring points with my girlish sweet-making skills!]
I see, that’s reassuring…… or rather, doesn’t that mean the quality is going to be incredible? In fact, this cake is ridiculously delicious, and the presentation is stunning.
However, as expected, Canalis-san basically uses ingredients available in this world, unlike Shiro-san, who created ingredients that don’t exist like that time with baby castellas.
It seems like she’s thinking about menus that match the specialties of each country, and her thought process is extremely sensible, so I can really trust her.
[When you say you made it, do you mean you cooked it, not created it? Canalis-san, you’re also good at cooking huh.][Tahaa~~ Well, I’m omnipotent after all…… though it sounds a bit baseless, I do cook occasionally, so I have quite a bit of experience. Ah~ but, it’s not like I did it that often…… H- Hmmm?]
[What’s the matter?]
[Well, from my perspective, I only did it occasionally, so I wanted to say I have little experience…… but having lived several billion years, when you add it all up, I’m not sure how to judge this. Tahaa~~ The fact that billions of years don’t seem that long to me is a sign that my sense is way too godlike!]
[Ahaha, that is indeed a tricky situation.]
I chuckle and agree with Canalis-san’s words. Even though she only did it occasionally, since she’s lived for an immense amount of time, her accumulated experience far surpasses that of any chef or pâtissier. And the fact that billions of years don’t seem long to her is exactly what you’d expect from an Omnipotent God…… The scale she’s in is literally beyond comprehension.
[Canalis-san, you’ve traveled to various worlds, right?]
[Yes, I’ve been all over the place. I’m a little proud of how many acquaintances I have…… Ohh, even though I look like this, I’m actually quite perceptive, and I can tell you’re asking for stories from other worlds! Leave it to me! Since we’re enjoying sweets right now, how about I tell you about some interesting sweets from another world…… Actually, there’s a dessert in another world that you eat with your fingers.]
[By the way you said it, I’m guessing you don’t mean sweets you pick up by hand, right? It’s also not like the locals have mouths on their fingers or anything like that?]
[No, it’s a sweet that species like Kaito-sama, who consume food orally, choose to eat with their fingers. It has a jelly-like texture that, when you put your finger in, slowly gets absorbed into your body. You might wonder, doesn’t that mean you can’t taste it? But it’s made with special materials that don’t exist in this world, so even though you’re absorbing it through your fingers, you can taste it.]
[That’s quite mysterious and interesting. I’m curious about how it feels like.]
[Leave it to me…… Here you go. I made a small portion, so please give it a try! Taha~~ I suppose I could claim myself to be a considerate woman now?]
Canalis-san, knowing that I would be interested, quickly brought out the dessert she had mentioned. It looked like an ordinary jelly in a semi-transparent container.
Do I put my finger into this?
[……O- Ohh…… Eh? Ahh, this is amazing. I can really taste something. T- This feels kinda strange, tasting something even though there’s nothing in my mouth…… Hmm, It has a refreshing, soda-like flavor.]
[It must be really disorienting at first. You get used to it after eating it a few times…… Well, I do wonder if “eating” is the right word here. Well, since this dessert uses several ingredients that don’t exist in this world, putting aside if it’s for Kaito-sama, I can’t exactly serve it in the café.]
[Rather, was it okay to serve it to me? I mean, like how the God from my world made a contract with Shiro-san, aren’t there restrictions on items from different worlds?]
[Ahh, it’s alright. The Creator God of that world is also a fan of Kaito-sama, so I think she’d be pleased. Tahaa~~ As expected of Kaito-sama, you sure are popular!]
Unnn, errr…… why exactly is an Otherworld God, whom I’ve never met, a fan of mine? I did hear how I’ve become famous among World Creators because of my connection with Shiro-san, so maybe it’s related to that…… H- Hmmm. Let’s just stop thinking about it too deeply.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [It certainly doesn’t feel surprising if there was some kind of special agreement among World Creators to make exceptions just for Kaito.]
? ? ? : [This is one of those, isn’t it? The “Kaito-only Exception”…… Let’s call it “KO Exception”.]
Serious-senpai : [Stop making up weird terminologies……]
