Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Welcoming the waltzes home for breakfast, which is long overdue, is like a clear squid in a glass dish.

What is this?

It is a slime.

The slime is transparent in appearance, so it appears to contain only liquid inside, but is actually equipped with many organs inside.

The point is the gut.

I'm just not sure which part of the cell the clear particles in front of me are.

It looks like it has a light water colour and has reduced the wasabi cake.

For more specific examples, aromatics, polymers for dehumidification, and melons.

"Hunter, are you sure you can eat this?

Waltz asked the hunter, recalling the 'Don't Tap' tag attached to the desiccant in the modern world.

"What are you talking about? Without this eating, what the hell do you think you can eat?

"... no, it's nothing"

To the hunter's sword screen, Waltz loses his word.

The hunter, on the other hand, didn't even notice how the waltz looked, and he was looking at something in front of him with a lucid look.

(... it's not matatabi, is it?

The hunter's appearance was perfectly consistent with the cat with Matatabi in front of him.

Alternatively, does it also contain highly dependent ingredients?

"Well, it's a corner, so let's have it"

Tempo urged me first, saying I couldn't help but watch.

"Right. Well, then, let's have it."

I'm not saying 'I'll have it'... but everyone, hands together in front of the chest before putting on a chopstick (spoon).

"By the way, how do you eat?

"Right, you can put it on bread, or mix it in milk. You can have it over dinner, or for soup... well, it fits. I like to eat like that."

(For bread and milk, it must taste like jam, but also for soup and rice, say...)

I couldn't imagine waltz.

Well, you could tell if you tried it, and I said it quickly.

"... Huh?

It is the reaction of waltz the moment it is put in your mouth.

Likewise, Lucia, Tempo, etc. who did not know the taste have the same reaction.

Tasteless, odorless.

It doesn't taste good at all.

Meanwhile, when I see how hunters and catalinas are doing, they look delicious eating.

So did Waltz's taste sensor fail?

But Lucia and Tempo also look suspicious, so apparently that's not the way it is.

As Waltz, Lucia and Tempo had an indelible look on their face, the hunter grinned niggardly and uttered the words of the curse (...) sentence (...).

"Bird Skewers"

No context, just words.

But the moment that word reaches Waltz's hearing sensor, there is a dramatic change in his mouth.

First of all, the flavor.

The taste of my sister's special skewer, once eaten at home on Earth, comes back suddenly.

Next, the scent.

The nostrils (odor sensors) of waltz thrust through the appetite, like the sweet sauce painted on the skewer was scorched by charcoal.

"What, this..."

It was Lucia who murmured like that.

Transparent ingredients in front of you (?) You don't think it tastes or smells like it comes from, it's just as confusing as waltz.

"... tastes like demons"

Tempo is showing the same reaction.

But they're not like what Waltz is eating.

What the hell is this all about?

A hunter makes a seed.

"When I eat slime, I think of something I want to eat, and it tastes and smells like that food. But even if I imagine something I've never eaten, it usually remains tasteless and odorless."

(This means reproducing the taste and smell of the ingredients in your memory.)

If I talk about Hercherry or something here, I think it's going to happen in Tondemonai, Waltz.

Of course, I won't say anything extra.

But I'll keep my mouth shut about what I thought.

"... there's a rule that you should never open your mouth while you're eating slime, right?

"You know me well?

"Here, for example... no, let's not"

Then Catalina's complexion gets worse.

Did you imagine anything...

"I'm sorry. Catalina."

"No, it's okay"

Apparently, it was done with minor injuries.

(Is that it? Maybe if I completely crushed this grain and planted it in the dish...)

In a way, Waltz conceived the exact opposite, thinking that he could do something like torture...

"... wouldn't this taste better if we put it in our dishes?

For a moment, Lucia and Catalina's expression said, 'I didn't have that idea!' And it just got brighter.

For example, even if it tastes bad, if it is corrected by slime, it will be at an edible level.

... but shortly afterwards he looked bright red and ran to the bathroom with both of them holding their mouths down.

He remembered the Herchery case...

Before I knew it, I seemed to have done something torturous against the two of them.

"... sorry"

Waltz apologizes to the two back.

"No, it's over now, if you'll be careful next time"

"When you eat slime, you have to be careful."

"Yes... I'll be careful in the future."

Apparently, when these three people are involved in the ingredients, they become mesimos.

By the way, Waltz was concerned about something earlier.

... but don't open your mouth immediately to avoid repeated failures.

Predict when people around you aren't eating slime, say.

"Teresa? You're not eating?

Teresa won't get her hands on it from earlier.

What is wrong with it?

"Um, actually, I don't really understand the manners in these seats..."

... it seemed to be the opposite of waltz.

If a meal tied with manners continues, will I have manners and feel normal?

"Right... probably shouldn't hang the words' you should eat as usual 'on you right now"

"Oh, Lord. Did you even read it in the heart of your current concubine?

That's what I said, Theresa with a relief look somewhere.

"No, remember the old days..."

Waltz, looking far away, had remembered a meeting with the hunter's parents (the Counts and their wives).

"Well, I'll show you how to eat"

If I were you, I would have liked you to tell me this.

"Uh, I have a habit of eating the ingredients I'm about to eat right now (slime), so why don't you ask them all and then try to eat them?

"Uhm."

"First, I'll have a spoon"

"Ho."

"I have the ingredients."

"Hmm."

"I'll eat."

"... is that all?

"I think I was asking you later, but imagine what you want to eat. That's it. There are no other detailed rules."

"Hmm, that's not easy. I thought there were a variety of manners, including the angle of having a spoon, the angle of placing it, the order and timing of eating it, the amount of it, and the number of times you chew it."

"Yeah, you never want to be at a dinner party like that."

"The concubine said so at first, but there's no point in getting used to it."

... and the different directions, the same troubles, the conversations bounced.

Theresa was then used to eating slime too, eating snuggly like a hunter.

Occasionally pinched in bread or sometimes eaten with mountain vegetables.

What the hell are you imagining eating?

Well, that's something we can all say.

Waltz wondered, but when he said something bad, he couldn't say anything extra because there was going to be another problem, and in the end, he couldn't resolve the question of what he had imagined.

Slime food (?) Would the drawback be that it would take the conversation away from the dining place?

Now, it's after the meal.

I went to pick up some mountain vegetables and came back, and there's something wrong with Lucia.

No, before I came back, I hadn't had an excellent complexion since I was wandering in the woods.

Now, sit deeply in the living room chair and stand still.

"Lucia?

Catalina speaks to Lucia.

and, at the same time, put his hand on Lucia's forehead.

"Hmm, sounds a little hot"

"But you're gonna be okay, right?

Behind what it looks like, he insists he's okay...

"... without imposing, let's sleep in bed today, shall we?

"Yeah..."

I may have been unable to do so because I have the job of picking up the family of a woman who was the victim of a witch hunt.

But unforeseen things like encountering angels while you're picking them up are tough.

That's why it took a doctor stop from Catalina.

I wonder if Catalina could have anticipated this decision, which would have kept things to a minimum.
