Chapter 1756: Original Blend 5
In Kaito’s house...... more specifically, in a kitchenette, Illness was contemplating while arranging tea leaves.
Nebula, who happened to be passing by, approached her and called out.
[Illness-san, what are you doing?]
[While we’re at iiiiiit, I was thinking of preparing an original tea blend to serve Kaito-sama tooooooo, and I’m now thinking about iiiiiiiit.]
[I see, Milord had just created his original tea blend, so this timing would indeed be just right. If it’s to Milord’s liking......]
After nodding in apparent agreement with Illness’ words, Nebula also reached out towards the tins containing the line-up of tea leaves, but stopped midway and withdrew her hand. Witn€$$ th€ origin of thïš c0ntent, flowing fr0m n0v!lbin★
[......No, that would be boorish of me.]
[........Yeeeeees. Thank you for your adviiiiiiice. Nebula really is quite reliableeeeee.]
[I’m the Absolute after all!]
[Kuhihi, as expected of Nebula.]
After confidently declaring this in response to Illness’ thanks, Nebula lightly waved her hand and departed. After seeing her off, Illness-san turned her attention to the tea leaves once again.
When she started thinking not about tea blends to serve to Kaito, but of tea blends that she would drink together with him, several tea blends unlike the ones before came to her mind.
[......Together with Kaito-samaaaaa...... Indeeeeeed. Drinking tea with Kaito-sama and having a casual chaaaaaat would be irresistibly blissful, wouldn’t iiiiiiiit? Since I would be considering both Kaito-sama and my taaaaaastes, instead of just creating a blend that aligns with Kaito-sama’s taaaaaaaste, it would be better to incorporate a bit of my own preferences toooooooo.]
In Illness’ mind, there’s an image of her enjoying tea with Kaito while they savored the original tea blend she prepared. As she immersed in the warmth in the depths of her heart just from imagining such a scenario...... Illness proceeded to create her tea blend.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [As expected of Absolute, her sweetness-related advice is also perfect...... D- D*mn it...... There’s definitely going to be that after this......]
