Chapter 888 The Last Daily Life 67
While Wiz and the others were making chocolates, Kobayashi, who was bored, was drinking delicious black tea in the cafe. Suddenly, his body shook uncontrollably and an ominous premonition arose in his heart, as if something bad was going to happen next, which made Kobayashi feel a little uneasy.
No, this feeling must be an illusion. After all, I am about to eat delicious chocolate.
"Aqua and the others are making chocolates for me right now. I really want my mother to see this..." Xiaolin clenched his fists with an obviously excited smile on his face, "Today is my real Valentine's Day!"
By the way.
Actually, according to the calendar of this world, Valentine's Day has passed for a long time. It's no wonder that Xiaolin's reaction is slow. No one has ever given him chocolate since he was a child, so naturally he doesn't remember such a day. Yes, it's all tears when I talk about it. However, from today on, everything will be different!
Kobayashi's heart was filled with anticipation, and just as he couldn't wait to taste the delicious chocolate... To be more precise, it doesn't matter if the chocolate is not delicious, after all, it is given by a girl, and the taste of the chocolate is less important than its actual meaning. Therefore, what is important is not the taste but the meaning of this action... However, although he still has to give them charity chocolate in the end, it is not a difficult task.
——When I was daydreaming like this.
"Mr. Xiaolin, sorry to have kept you waiting!"
The door of the tavern was pushed open, and Wiz, dressed in a pastry chef's outfit, walked in with a gentle smile on her face, holding something that looked like a basket in her hands.
"Oh, is it here..." Xiaolin didn't know why he was inexplicably nervous. He looked at the cloth-covered basket in Wiz's hand with anticipation and trepidation, and asked cautiously, "How is it going?"
He bet that this tone was no different from the doctor's nervousness and anxiety when he came out of his wife's delivery room! At the same time, considering that what he said might add burden to them, he quickly waved his hand and changed his words:
"No, it's okay. Even if I fail, I will eat it with gratitude!"
Saying this is like telling the doctor: It's OK! Although I like daughters, I can also accept sons.
"Hehe." Seeing Xiaolin in such an embarrassed state, Lynn seemed to have not expected that he had such a side to him, so she subconsciously covered her mouth and laughed, making Xiaolin look a little shy and embarrassed.
But Lynn still said to him, "Thanks to everyone, the results should be pretty good. You can look forward to it."
"We also asked Claire to taste it, it should be delicious." Princess Alice also said this right after, it seems that the taste will not be too bad.
“That’s really exciting!”
Kobayashi's face was filled with a sunny smile, just like when he learned from the doctor that both mother and child were safe in the delivery room, and that the baby was a pretty little girl. It was as refreshing as eating ice cream in the dog days of summer.
"...By the way, where's Cecily?" Xiao Lin looked at Princess Alice and Lynn and the others, but didn't see anyone else. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Didn't she say she wanted to make chocolates with you? Why is she gone?"
It wasn't necessary to send Cecily here as well, but I felt that her disappearance would inevitably make people a little worried. After all, everyone knew the destructive power of the Axis cultists.
“It seems Cecily isn’t done yet, so we decided to deliver the chocolates we prepared first.” Huihui explained to Xiaolin, “Maybe she will be here in a while.”
"Although I'm very curious about what she's doing... But, let's not worry about it now!" Although Xiaolin was a little worried, he quickly put it aside and looked at the basket in Wiz's hand impatiently, "What's more important now is the chocolate!"
"Okay, okay, I got it."
Aqua pressed her hands down, signaling Kobayashi to calm down. "We will give you chocolates in order, starting with Wiz. Please calm down first."
"I can finally receive chocolates from a girl in person...!"
Xiaolin was so moved that he almost shed tears.
"Hehe." While he was so expectant, Wiz chuckled and took out a chocolate product from the basket and placed it in front of him.
"Then Mr. Kobayashi, please accept it!" She opened the lid, revealing the chocolate inside, "I tried to make a chocolate cake, I hope it suits your taste."
"Ohhh, is it chocolate chiffon cake?!"
Xiaolin's eyes lit up.
Lynn followed closely behind and also took out a container from the basket, saying with a smile: "I'm going to give you chocolate cookies... but I'm still a little shy when I really want to give them."
"Ohhh! They both look delicious! Thank you, Wiz and Lynn!"
Xiaolin's eyes were filled with tears.
"It's my turn now." Princess Alice took out the utensils and said in a shy and nervous voice, "Brother... This is my first time making chocolate. This is my gift, if you don't mind, please enjoy it."
"It's truffle chocolate, so good!" Xiaolin shouted with joy, and then said with a touching face: "Thank you, Alice! I will eat it with great care!"
Her Highness Alice's cheeks were slightly rosy, and the girl was a little embarrassed to be praised. But she still had a happy smile on her face, because her efforts were not in vain, and her heart was conveyed truthfully, so she naturally felt happy and satisfied.
"Then it's our turn next."
Hui Hui saw that it was almost done, so she also took out a small bag from her bosom and handed it over, saying, “This is bubble-heart chocolate, please accept it.”
"Bubble...Bubble Heart?"
Xiaolin looked confused.
Darkness smiled and explained, "The chocolate balls are filled with a bubble drink. They are chocolates that are more suitable for adults."
So that's it, it's chocolate with liquor filling. I have to say, it's quite creative for Huihui to be able to eat chocolate with liquor filling in this world. Xiaolin was very satisfied with this chocolate. However, Huihui found that he seemed to have misunderstood, so she quickly explained.
"For various reasons, we were unable to make the chocolate ourselves, so this was chosen by the three of us together."
No wonder.
The chocolates they received were not taken from a basket but from their own arms, and they were even three of the same.
"But even if we buy ready-made ones, it's better than nothing, right?" Aqua stuffed the chocolate into Xiaolin's arms and said with a smile: "Come on, happy Valentine's Day!"
"Ahh, thank you guys!"
Xiao Lin accepted it happily. After all, as I said before, chocolate is not important, but the meaning is important. Therefore, the taste is not so special, and the taste of the ones bought outside is still guaranteed to be good.
“…Wait a minute.” Huihui looked at Aqua in surprise and asked, “You sound so fluent in what you say, but what does ‘Happy Valentine’s Day’ mean? What does it represent?”
“It’s a slogan. We always say it when we give out chocolates.” Aqua explained casually, but when she saw Huihui’s strange expression, she also became confused. “Oh, didn’t I tell you that?”
"So I have to say this..."
Wiz nodded in understanding, then looked at Kobayashi again and said seriously, "Well, Mr. Kobayashi, please let us formally say it again—"
After they looked at each other, they handed over the chocolate products in their hands and spoke in unison.
"——Happy Valentine's Day!" X3
Good, great!
This feeling, as if I have really become a popular person, is really great, so wonderful! The whole person feels like ascending to heaven! Xiaolin's face showed an expression as if he was melted by the incredibly sweet taste of chocolate.
Lynn smiled and said, "Next year I will invite others and we will make chocolate together. Please look forward to it!"
"Me too." Princess Alice followed closely and said, "Next time I will hone my dessert making skills and give Brother-sama even better chocolate!"
Not only this time, but also next time, it seems that the chocolates for next year have already been reserved, which makes Kobayashi very touched.
"Thank you! Thank you, sir!" Xiao Lin wiped tears from his eyes and said with great emotion: "This is the first time in my life that I have received chocolate from a girl... I feel so touched now! Really... I am so happy!"
He felt that his life had reached its peak, so he subconsciously blurted out that sentence -
"Now...even if I have to die here, I am willing--"
But he hadn't finished yet.
Suddenly there was a loud noise in the tavern, and all the tables and chairs flew everywhere, interrupting Xiaolin's words and attracting everyone's attention. They subconsciously looked in the direction of the noise and found a huge, sticky, coffee-colored monster that looked like a slime.
“His ...
It let out a loud roar, and then when everyone was stunned, it suddenly pounced and pinned Xiaolin to the ground.
“Puhu!?”
Xiaolin was thrown to the ground.
“Xiaolin!?” Huihui screamed subconsciously, looking at the slime-like monster that suddenly appeared, and asked loudly: “What the hell is this brown object?”
"What is this...?" Wiz was surprised. After taking a closer look at the monster, she couldn't help but ask, "Is this a slime? Why, why is it here...?"
When everyone was confused, another person rushed in from the door of the tavern, and this person was very familiar to everyone. That's right, she was the missing dessert master who made chocolate products with everyone - Cecily.
She rushed in and saw such a mess and Kobayashi who was crushed to the ground by the huge slime. Her face was full of panic.
"Aaaah! As expected, this has turned into the worst possible situation!"
“Cecily?!” Darkness couldn’t help but frown when he saw her and asked loudly, “Where on earth have you been? Also, from what you said, do you know where this inexplicable slime came from?”
“That’s…” Cecily had a hesitant expression on her face, but she still said, “That’s the chocolate-flavored agar slime that I created after using various methods to transform it… I named it Chocolate Agar Slime!”
"What the hell did you do?!"
Lynn screamed.
Cecily, who was being stared at with dissatisfaction by everyone, quickly explained: "No, no! I, I didn't expect it to get out of control like this! Everything is an accident, force majeure!"
Although she wanted to shirk responsibility, she had already committed an unforgivable mistake since she decided to use agar slime to make chocolate products. No matter how she thought about it, she would never be able to shirk responsibility. However, the problem now was not this, but -
“You guys, it doesn’t matter what happens… hurry up and save me… wupupupupu…!”
Xiaolin is about to be drowned in the agar slime.
“Oh no!” Aqua exclaimed, pointing at him and shouting to everyone: “Xiao Lin was swallowed by the slime!”
"Brother! Are you okay?!"
"Everyone, please rescue Mr. Kobayashi from the slime's mouth!"
As Alice and Wiz said this, the Chocolate Agar Slime seemed to realize that it had become a target, so it used its huge body to break the glass of the tavern and fled to the street. The others followed suit.
“Please let go of my brother! Drink!”
Alice drew out her holy sword and launched a powerful normal attack on the chocolate agar slime that had swallowed Xiaolin. The aftermath alone destroyed the slime's core. The chocolate agar slime screamed and died on the spot.
"Ahh, my chocolate agar slime... what a waste."
Cecily said this with a look of regret.
Is this guy serious? Does he still think that the monster shouldn't be killed?
“Puha! Hu…ha…hu…ha…” Xiaolin, who had escaped death, knelt on the ground and gasped for breath. While he was panting, he sighed and said, “I was scared to death. I thought I was going to die.”
"Huh... Looks like I barely made it."
Lynn, who arrived shortly afterwards, wiped the sweat from her forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you okay, Mr. Xiaolin?" Wiz ran up to wipe the slime off Xiaolin's face and hair, and asked with great concern: "Are you feeling unwell?"
"Anyway, I've cast a healing spell on you first. Is there any other area that hurts?"
Aqua also said this with a concerned look on her face.
“…It hurts…!”
"Where does it hurt? Tell me quickly!"
"My stomach... hurts... It hurts so much...!"
Xiaolin looked distressed.
“Look at how much pain he’s in…” Wiz seemed to have thought of something and exclaimed, “Could it be that the slime is poisonous!?”
