As we moved towards the restaurant, we continued our conversation about our food preferences.

  [Come to think of it, I don’t know much about everyone else’s favorite foods. When it comes to sweets, Luna-san likes marshmallows, right? Incidentally, other than sweets, what do you like?]

  [Hmmm…… If I had to pick one, it would be cream stew pie-crust? My mother used to make it for me.]

  [Heehhh…… That sounds delicious.]

  I hadn’t heard much about the food preferences of the others aside from Lilia-san’s, so I asked her about it as we talked. Luna-san likes marshmallows and cream stew pie-crust, and it was just a guess, but I get the feeling that Luna-san prefers foods with creamy flavors.

  [……What about you, Sieg-san?]

  [Let’s see. Can’t say I liked it since back then, but I’ve been liking white fish lately. The meuniere at the restaurant I went to with Kaito-san before was very good.]

  [The food they had over there really was tasty. I would like to go there again if I have the chance…… Incidentally, what about sweets?]

  [I like those that go well with tea. I suppose the one I eat the most would be simple cookies.]

  I remember hearing from Sieg-san that she liked fish ever since she ate it while swimming in the sea when we went to the city in the Demon Realm together.

  Since Sieg-san lived in Rigforeshia and then, in Symphonia’s royal capital, places far from the sea, She didn’t have much experience eating fresh saltwater fish, and now, it seemed to have become her favorite dish.

  I’ll make sure to keep in mind that Sieg-san liked white fish. It may be helpful for choosing a restaurant when I have a date with her in the future.

  [What about you, Hina-chan?]

  [As for me, errr…… I guess carbonara would be my favorite dish. When it comes to sweets, it has to be parfaits! Parfaits!]

  [You’re quite intense with parfaits huh. Do you like them that much?]

  [Yes! Whoever thought of the parfait is a genius. Parfaits have the taste of happiness…… Well, I can’t eat them too often because the calories it brings about don’t bring me happiness at all.]

  I may be being slightly biased here, but I somehow felt that Hina-chan had girly favorites. Well, as for carbonara, I think she just forced that answer out, but she was quite intense when she talked about parfaits, so I guess that would really be her favorite.

  [How about you, Aoi-chan?]

  [If it’s a dish, let’s see…… I suppose it would be caesar salad with croutons, cheese, and an onsen egg.]

  [That certainly sounds extremely delicious.]

  [Yes. Also, as for sweets…… I don’t really have a particular one in mind, but I like orange and citrusy flavors, so I guess I like sweets along that line.]

  Aoi-chan’s favorites kinda feel like her image. I mean, her favorites had this tinge of refinement in them. As for citrus, I suppose she likes its smell, as even her shampoo had a scent like that.

  I guess I’ll show her some of the shampoo Kuro brought me before, which I think she might like, next time.

  [Speaking of which, what are your favorite sweets, Kaito-senpai? You did mention burger steak being your favorite dish……]

  [Ahh~~ Hmmm. That’s hard to say. There are a lot of things I like, but it’s hard to decide which one I like the most…… Ahh, but the one I’ve definitely eaten the most would have to be baby castellas.]

  (Note: I may have made mistakes here in some previous chapter, but Kaito’s favorite is burger steak. Japanese call them “hambagu”, unlike the “hamburger” sandwich, which they refer to as “hambaga”. Seeing burger though directly makes me think of hamburgers, so I end up typing that.)

  As for baby castellas, I ate them almost every day…… so I guess you could say it was my favorite. I do actually like its taste and texture……


  But when I think about liking baby castellas, I think of Kuro…… or rather, her extreme love for baby castellas…… which leads me to end up thinking “No, I don’t think I like it that much”.

  [Then, on the other hand, what food does everyone dislike? ……Well, as for me, I think everyone already knows it……]

  [I wonder if I have one? Nothing really comes to mind, but I suppose I don’t like food that is too pungent or bitter.]

  Lilia-san answered my question by saying that she didn’t seem to have any particular food that she didn’t like. Indeed, Lilia-san seemed like the kind of person who wasn’t very choosy with her food.

  [As for me, rather than taste, I don’t like foods that have a sticky texture.]

  [I don’t really like beer…… ahh, that’s what you call them in your world, right? I also don’t like ale and lagers.]

  Luna-san seemed to dislike foods not by their tastes, but by their sticky textures, so I guess she wouldn’t like okra and natto. Well, I don’t really know if there’s natto in this world or not……


  As for Sieg-san, it seems like she doesn’t like beer. Come to think of it, I’ve basically only seen her drinking wine or fruit juice.

  [I don’t like crustaceans…… I’m not saying I’m allergic to them, but it’s just, I don’t like them much.]

  [As for me…… Let’s see. I just can’t handle those with a distinctive smell, like liver or entrails……]

  Hina-chan seems to dislike crustaceans. However, from the way she said it, it didn’t seem like she hated it that much, and she just slightly disliked the taste of it?

  As for Aoi-chan, she seemed to dislike meat from internal organs such as hormones. Unlike Hina-chan, Aoi-chan looked quite disgusted with meat from internal organs, and it felt like she didn’t even want to put them in her mouth…… kind of like how I am with bell peppers.

  However, hearing how each of us have varying likes and dislikes was interesting. I hadn’t had a conversation like this with the others so far, so I guess it might be interesting to ask my other acquaintances what they like and don’t like.
