Chapter 245.2. The Beginning Of Recognition

-Miu’s POV-

-Main Story: The Turbulent Orienteering: Cleared-

Suddenly, before her eyes, the display showed that she had cleared the previous main story, leaving Mii-chan slightly surprised. Though it only said -Cleared-, had something changed?

Furrowing her brow in confusion, Mii-chan puzzled over it, but since she couldn’t figure it out by dwelling on it, she decided to let it be.

So, Yamiyo and the others began discussing the selection tournament in high spirits.

“When you say martial arts tournament, there are various events, right?”

“Yeah~. I wonder what I should participate in. Probably the battle division?”

“I’m thinking the battle division too.”

The three of them discussed something potentially dangerous.

Mii-chan will pass on the -Fight- option! Choosing that would mean she couldn’t hold back.

I might end up accidentally giving my opponent a “head-pat of death”. Rather than being blown away, their heads might just explode on the spot.

“This year’s freshmen seem stronger than the 3rd years, so the middle school division is almost guaranteed to win.”

It seems they’re accurately assessing the 1rst-year students’ strengths.

Certainly, the main contenders are Shin, Sena as the challenger, and a dark horse, probably Sei-chan. The wildcards are Yamiyo and Tamamo, and the doomed contender would be Masatoshi.

Mii-chan couldn’t help but think that this one person was out of place. Nonetheless, she pondered over her own choice.

“Alright, everyone, I’ve brought some snacks!”

Crossing her arms and nodding, Nimue entered with a tray of parfaits.

Desserts are separate from meals! Despite having eaten a lot of Hornbear Cow, girls have another dimension in their stomachs for desserts.

The parfaits in the tall, slender glasses sparkled and shone brilliantly, almost blindingly so.

Crispy cereal lay at the bottom, followed by ice cream and whipped cream.

On top of that, soft serve ice cream with abundant whipped cream.

The fruits were elegantly arranged around the sides, like gemstones.

“Parfaits! Yay~”

Mii-chan perked up, sitting up and taking her place at the table.

Parfait, huh? It’s Mii-chan’s destined rival.

The blue-haired beauty of a maid placed parfaits in front of each person. Mii-chan, Yamiyo, Tamamo, Suzu, and the largest parfait of all, Nimue’s.

“Why does Nimue get the biggest parfait?”

“I wanted to eat it, young lady.”

Nimue said with a carefree expression as if she had mistakenly written “maid” as “young lady” in the dictionary.

“I’ll have seconds, so here we go! Let’s dig in!”

But even without grabbing, Mii-chan, being wealthy, can always order more! Hehe.

Oh, it’s delicious. Is this from Galdo Farm?

Yamiyo’s face melted into an entranced expression after savoring a strawberry, as she commented in a laid-back tone, and Tamamo nodded in agreement.

“It’s as sweet as candy. Truly befitting of dungeon produce.”

“It’s so fluffy, like a marshmallow. The texture is like meringue, quite extraordinary.”

They’re completely absorbed in the parfait. Dungeon-made treats have a taste that’s truly in a different league.

But everyone doesn’t know how to eat a parfait, right?

First, you eat the wafer that’s sticking out.

You take bites, crisp and chipper like a squirrel, let the wafer slightly dry your mouth, and then heal it with fruits.

“I’ll bring more, young lady.”

“Yeah, but I haven’t finished mine yet?”

“I’m already done.”

Even though it was the largest parfait, Nimue had already finished hers. Is she training for an eating contest or something?

Nimue skipped out while opening the door. Right before it closed, I thought I saw someone jumping in and executing a cross-chop at her neck, but it was probably my imagination.

“Mii-sama, you like wafers, don’t you?”

“Yeah, I love the crispiness!”

“In that case, please have mine too. Mii-sama, you like wafers, don’t you?”

“Yeah, I love the crispiness!”

She responds with a beaming smile to Yamiyo’s repetition. Yamiyo extended a wafer, so Mii-chan opened her mouth wide and took a bite.

“Mii-sama, you like wafers, don’t you?”

“Is this the third time, Yamiyo-chan?”

“I just want to hear it several times.”

For some reason, Yamiyo was recording it with a device. If this continues, I’ll keep eating wafers forever!

Although Mii-chan loves wafers and can eat them endlessly, it’s time to move on to the main event!

“Yamiyo-chan, ease up a bit. Easy does it.”

“Sigh… Is she always like this?”

Tamamo eased Yamiyo’s shoulder with a spoon in her mouth. Suzu watched us with an exasperated expression.

Hmm, Yamiyo does get weird occasionally.

Well, whatever. Right now, I need to think about participating in the martial arts tournament and why I’m getting recognized.

If I’m getting recognized, she might have to behave even more obediently than before.

… That might be simple. Mii-chan is a well-behaved Miko, after all. It’s okay since she’s defeated gods before, right?

After finishing the wafer, I dip a spoon into the pure white cream.

“The whipped cream is delicious too. It’s made from Hornbear Cow’s milk!”

I’m a gourmet, so I’m picky about flavors. The order to eat is fruits, whipped cream, soft serve, and then fruits again.

If I eat haphazardly, only the cereal is left, and it becomes a dry texture that’s a bit sad on the tongue.

“No room for carelessness!”

I must eat this parfait perfectly.

After all, this parfait is Mii-chan’s!

She put some whipped cream in her mouth, let her face relax with a soft sigh, and Mi-chan enjoyed her parfait.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
