I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN)

After visiting various stalls, lunchtime has finally come.

Though I say that, even though I had visited some attractions, I wasn’t that hungry since I had been eating from the start of our date.

So, thinking of having a light lunch, I came with Kuro to the area lined with restaurants.

There are a lot of nobles who participate in the Six Kings Festival, so even on the Sixth Day which is an orthodox summer festival, there are some high-class restaurants lined up.

[……What should we eat?]

[Hmmm, I’m not sure~~]

Kuro and I held hands as we discussed where we should have lunch. Kuro was restlessly looking around, as if she couldn’t decide where to go, but her eyes were suddenly glued to something.

When I saw Kuro’s eyes begin to dazzle, I fearfully turned towards the direction she was looking at…… And saw a signboard with words “Baby Castella Cuisine Specialty Restaurant”, as if to lead onlookers down to hell.

Please wait a moment. I’m begging you, please give me a moment…… The words “Baby Castella Cuisine” are just too much of a power word for me to accept.

I mean, what the heck is that Baby Castella Cuisine!? Baby Castella is already a complete dish, you know!? Why would anyone want to tamper that!? Strange, that restaurant is strange……

[Kaito-kun! That place! Let’s go to that place!!!]

[…………………]

No, no, I’ve already been beaten up by a lot of Baby Castellas, and now, I’m going to be beaten up even more…… As expected, even I can’t stand this much……

[Amazing! I’m so excited! I wonder what kind of food they’ll serve?]

[……E- Errr……]

[I’m looking forward to it~~ Baby Castella Cuisine together with Kaito-kun~~]

[……S- Shall we go?]

[Unnn!]

……No good. I can’t win against her. I can’t do anything to hurt Kuro, who is looking at me with sparkling eyes. I want to protect that dazzling smile…… even at the cost of my own stomach……

The interior of the Baby Castella restaurant was, if I had to describe it, a very ordinary restaurant. Well, as I had expected, with Kuro with me, we were immediately led to the VIP seats…… which seemed to be a private room, but I still couldn’t help but feel anxious.

As for the food, Kuro cheerfully told them “I’ll order everything!” and we decided to leave the order of serving to the restaurant, while I would just pick up whatever I wanted.

And thus, the first dish we were served was……

[……Here’s your “Baby Castella au Gratin”.]

[Ohhh!]

[………………]

……Fuuu, let’s calm down a bit. Take a deep breath…… Alright!

This is the time where you’re supposed to serve “bizarre food with strange combinations”, you know!? What the heck is with this safe and tasty-looking food!? I mean, this dish…… You’re just throwing baby castellas in to make a gratin…… You don’t need to add that baby castella in its name at all!

[……Kaito-kun?]

[N- No, it’s nothing…… They’re going to serve one dish after another, so how about we eat?]

[Unnn!]

Throwing a tsukkomi at the restaurant within my mind, I brought this Baby Castella au Gratin into my mouth……Unnn, it’s just a normal gratin.

How should I say this…… I felt slightly disappointed, but in the meantime, I turned my attention to the second dish that was being brought in.

[Here’s your “Baby Castella Lasagna”.]

[Ohhhhhh!]

[………………..]

……Hey, can I ask for the chef or someone who handles the arrangements? Why the heck are you serving lasagna after gratin? They’re almost the same dish……

H- Hmmm, does this mean they’re serving dishes similar to the first one? So, will there be a Baby Castella Doria next? Well, I’m glad that it’s simpler than I had expected……

[……Here’s your “Baby Castella Terrine, Truffle and Bœuf Salé, Ris de Veau and Sky Bean Gateau”.]

[Fuwaaahhh, sounds delicious!]

[………………..]

Why the heck are you suddenly serving me French dishes with incomprehensible names? Seriously, what the heck is happening? I mean, a Baby Castella Terrine, you’re just completely pranking us here!!!

I wonder what kind of face they had when they thought of this Baby Castella Terrine…… Or rather, why did they serve beef alongside it…… No matter how I look at it, they don’t suit well together……

[Here’s your “Baby Castella Grilled in Rock Salt”.]

[Amazing! There’s this way to cook it too huh!!!?]

[……………….]

……The baby castellas have been baked already!!! Why do you need to wrap it in rock salt!? You could just sprinkle some table salt on the baby castella if you really want it to be salty!!!

I mean, what the heck is with Kuro? Why the heck is she giving high praises at every single thing!?

[Here’s your “Baby Castella Spaghetti”.]

[……Hmmm, I see, I never thought about that. I’ll try this next time.]

[……………….]

You don’t have to! That idea’s demonic, I’m telling you! I mean, can’t you see they’re just throwing baby castellas into the spaghetti!!!?

[Here’s the main dish, the “Mega Baby Castella”.]

[Ohhhh! It’s so big!!!]

[……………….]

……With that size, you’re still insisting on calling it a “baby” castella huh…… I mean, how many baby castellas could they have made with the size of this thing? This thing’s big.

Also, it’s amazing how Kuro can eat the whole thing in the blink of an eye.

[As a palate cleanser, here’s a “Castella”.]

[It’s sweet and delicious.]

[………………]

Why did you give up on the “baby” part there!? You insisted on calling that one earlier a baby castella, how dare you serve us a regular castella!?

I mean, you’re asking us to cleanse our palate from eating baby castellas by eating a castella…… There’s no cleansing happening here! That’ll just bring us heartburn!!!

Dear Mom, Dad————- Beyond the Baby Castella Hell was another level of Baby Castella Hell. I mean, let me earnestly say this————- I can’t stand this restaurant anymore.

<Afterword>

? ? ? (Currently Browsing the Multiverse-Wide Web) : [……Surprisingly, there are many sane opinions. Let’s put the “Pinky Toe Bumping Curse” on the people who were saying “Kaito-san, Go Explode” later…… With their comments, Kuro-san would probably make a surprisingly decent Baby Castella……]

Under King : [Errr…… Shark Fin-filled Age Manju, Extremely Spicy Bean Curd with Wyvern Meat Burger Steak and Takoyaki Syrup, Crab Eggs with Melted Cheese, Heated Soy Sauce and Shredded Seaweed, Cranberry Sauce and Spirytus Ice Cream Sprinkled in Cocoa Gummies, and adding sweet-bean jelly, nozowana and mochi…… Wrapping all of that into a baby castella…… Found it! This is the ultimate baby castella!]

? ? ? : [Why are you mixing all of them!?]
