I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

Chapter 1500 - Seeking More Possibilities of Baby Castellas ⑤

Kuro, with a gentle and benevolent smile, but with a clear aura of rage brimming from behind her, spoke to the frightened Megiddo-san in a gentle voice.

[Geez, you sure love pranks even back then, Megiddo.]

[……O- Ou?]

As she spoke words delivered in a voice so gentle that it gave me chills, Megiddo-san had a slightly puzzled look on her face. It was as if she didn’t know how to respond.

She glanced at me, seemingly asking for my help, but I too wasn’t sure of Kuro’s current state of mind. At least, I don’t think she was intending to scold Megiddo-san or anything like that.

[You can’t do that, this is poison, isn’t it? I may be fine consuming this, but you can’t play pranks like this on the other kids.]

[Eh? Ah, no, it’s not poisono————]

[This is poison, isn’t it?]

[———-Ah, yes. It’s poison. W- Well~~ I just got the urge to play a prank, hahaha……]

Well, it apparently does kill normal people when they eat it, so I guess calling it poison really isn’t wrong. For a second, the thought that “Kuro’s failed baby castellas are also like poison” crossed my mind, but unfortunately, I didn’t have the courage to say that in front of Kuro, especially with how frightening she is right now.

But for the time being, it seems that she wasn’t mad at Megiddo-san. She seems to be willing to settle this matter in the direction that the ingredient she just used was just a prank from Megiddo-san.

[Unnn, unnn. So, where is the real ingredient that you’re suggesting to me?]

[……Eh? Ah, no……]

[No more pranks, okay?]

[……O- Ou.]

For the time being, it seems like they’re gonna settle this with the Crimson Sauce not existing at all. Megiddo-san looked around, clearly flustered by Kuro’s words, and sweating profusely, she bent down and whispered to me.

[……Kaito, help me out here. H- How much spiciness is considered alright?]

[I think the spiciness Megiddo-san considers too sweet should be enough.]

In any case, Megiddo-san, who wanted to make Kuro’s mood get better, took my advice and hurriedly brought out a new sauce.

[W- Well~~ I’m sorry, Kuromueina. This is the sauce for the spicy food.]

[Heehhh…… So it’s this huh. Let’s see……]

Watching Kuro take a lick off the sauce, Megiddo-san looked nervous. Just watching her acting like that makes me feel my back straightening as well.

And then, Kuro, who licked the sauce, showed a normal smile that was different from what was on her face just now.

[I see, it does feel interesting to make baby castellas with this.]

[Y- Yeah…… I- I’m glad you like it.]

[……By the way, Megiddo-san, even I think there’s no way you’re gonna do that, but you don’t intend to distribute that Crimson Sauce just now to the general public, right? You can’t do that, okay? That thing would literally kill normal people out of shock if they consumed it, so you have to think carefully about who you feed that to.]

[O- Ou, g- got it.]

[Unnn. Well then, thank you for your suggestion. Kaito-kun, let’s go?]

[Y- Yeah, alright. Megiddo-san, we’ll be excusing ourselves.]

[Ou, see you later.]

For the time being, it seems that Megiddo-san isn’t going to suffer a terrible fate, so I bid Megiddo-san goodbye with a somewhat relieved expression on my face before Kuro and I left with Teleportation Magic.

The place we arrived at is a place where there is nothing around, and once we got there…… Kuro’s face warped to a frown.

[……Geez, what’s with that spiciness!? Even spiciness should have its limits!!!]

[Ahh, as I thought, it really was that spicy huh.]

[Really spicy! I knew that Megiddo likes spicy food, but I can’t use ingredients that would kill people out of shock by eating it…… I mean, for an ingredient that spicy, I couldn’t feel that from its smell.]

[That was originally something made using an ingredient created by Shiro-san…… Well, it was me who gave that to Shea-san.]

[I knew it! Only Shiro can make such an unusually spicy, yet odorless item…… Seriously, Shiro just doesn’t know what moderation is……]

She was just trying not to show it on her face until a while ago, but it seems that it really was quite spicy, making her a little angry. But even when she tasted something like that, she didn’t blame or scold Megiddo-san for it, just advising her to be careful about distribution. I guess that’s to be expected from Kuro huh, what an adult-like way of dealing with things.

[Geez, that seriously tasted like a sacrilege to food.]

[……That sure is rich coming from someone who usually desecrates food.]

[Shalltear? You saying something?]

[Ahh, no, nothing at all!!!]

Alice, who appeared mid-conversation, muttered out a sound argument like a straightforward fireball, but after being glared at by Kuro, she quickly disappeared.

Well, even so, although this is unrelated …… but the fact that she showed me her dissatisfaction, which is something she didn’t show to Megiddo-san and the others, was proof that she considered me special, making me slightly happy.

<Afterword>

? ? ? : [Tsk, the gorilla got away safe huh…… Well, even Kuro-san wouldn’t scold Megiddo-san for something being too spicy. She did give her candid warning to Megiddo-san for taking out what she called a “delicious sauce”, without even warning Kuro-san.]

Serious-senpai : [It’s an odorless and beautiful-looking sauce, but if you lick it, it’s spicy enough to kill a normal person. I think that’s unmistakably poison.]
