Knight Edmond

Room 1

It doesn't matter how many times you say it... it always sounds damn awesome!
Look, you just need to gently poke this little hole and the creamy white liquid will start to flow out...
Then lick it up... mmmm! It really is delicious!
M-Mr Eiden...! N-Not so loud!
Don't worry, there's no one else here anyway... Hehe, I'm gonna enjoy this.
Successor to the Grand Sorcerer... What in the blazes are you doing in the middle of the dining room in broad daylight...!?
Ah? Edmond, you came! What are you so angry about?
(His face has gone all red again...)
(Ah, it can't be because I invited him to afternoon tea, can it? Nah, he would have refused if he didn't want to come... Maybe he doesn't like sweet stuff?)
Yakumo, can you pass me another? Just one's definitely not enough...
N-No problem. I made plenty, help yourself to as many as you like, Mr Eiden.
A crisp chocolate sphere perfectly encases the sponge and cream within. Use a fork to make a small hole, and thick, white cream instantly begins to pour out. Lick up the cream to experience a mouth full of delectable sweetness.
You were talking about... cakes...
Huh? What did you think we were talking about?
cough Even though I am not in the habit of having afternoon tea with others, I would like to thank you for your invitation.
Mr Vice-Captain, please enjoy.
This aroma... It seems today we are drinking Angenarthian tea... The desserts have been made using chocolate from Ganna, sugar from Abelina and the milk is from... Heras, I believe?
Ah, that's right...
Wow, you can tell where everything comes from just by looking at them!
From their scent, actually.
Each ingredient comes from a different location and the aromas from each location are each distinctive in their own ways.
(sniff sniff... All smells the same to me...)
Additionally, the aromas change based on the method used to mix the ingredients or the way it has been baked. The art of dessert making is truly precise and ingenious.
Mr Vice-Captain, you're a dessert lover too? That's wonderful. I hope these are to your taste.
In that case, I'll help myself --

You guys! Sneaking around, eating desserts behind my back!
You're the worst! sob!
(He's fake crying again...)
... Let me try one of those. The biggest and prettiest one! Yes! That one, hehe.
Ah, this one?
That's right! Time to dig in!
(And there goes the peaceful atmosphere... I should've seen this coming... At least the desserts look exquisite. Definitely worth a taste.)
Hmm...
Mmm...
Needs a little more sweetness.
Need a little less sweetness.
O-Okay, I'll make some changes next time... Huh? S-So... are they too sweet or not sweet enough?
Not sweet enough.
Too sweet! Definitely too sweet!
(Whoa... they're having a stare-off. Are they preparing for some kind of dessert war?)
The bitterness of the chocolate paired with the sweetness of the filling is ingenious. If you were to sprinkle some icing sugar over the top and add a little extra sugar to the cream, it would create an even more elegant and balanced flavor.
Hey, hey, erm... it would definitely be even tastier if the cream was a little less sweet. Make it nice and thick with a light milky flavor. Then it would be perfect for licking up!
Uh.. erm...
It's clear you don't understand the true essence of desserts. The core ingredient of all desserts is sugar. If it's not sweet enough then it has no right to be called a dessert. Perhaps you are better suited to slurping on gooey, tasteless liquids.
... Ha.
What are you laughing about?
I'm afraid to say it's you who doesn't understand the true essence of desserts! First of all, the way you taste them is all wrong... You gotta do it like this --
Make a little hole just the perfect size for sticking the tip of your tongue in. Then start to slowly lick and suck. Allow yourself to experience the fresh milky flavor and silky smoothness...
W-What on earth are you doing!?
Ah, you're blushing again... Oh... wait... is this what you thought we were talking about before...?
... It's my fault for jumping to conclusions.
Eh? Did I say that out loud... cough cough You guys carry on, pay me no attention...
(... Did I misunderstand just now? It felt like they weren't just talking about desserts...)
Eiden, whose side are you on?
Ah... me...? I think they taste great, but everyone has their own tastes... I guess it depends on the individual...
The most important aspect is the freshness, right? Gotta eat them as soon as they're ready --
(Ahh -- I think I better help Mr Eiden change the subject --)
Ah, hey! The chocolate will start melting soon... They'll be no good once that happens!
... You are right. That would be like trampling on the heartfelt intentions of the dessert maker. Apologies.
(Speaking of which... I wonder if that method of eating desserts really does enhance the flavor... I'll get the house chef to make some for me next time and perform a few experiments of my own...)
(cough That's right, to thoroughly understand the magic of desserts... They're just experiments... purely scientific...)

Room 2

This is the place you meant when you suggested we go somewhere to boost our mutual understanding of each other?
Yeah, it's good for two people to get out every once in a while, go for a stroll, enjoy some sunshine, don't you think? It's a great way for improving interpersonal relationships.
(Don't underestimate the power of a date. It doesn't matter whether it's a lover or a friend, a date is always the first choice when trying to improve your relationships!)
... I often do this kind of thing.
Huh? Who do you go out with?
The knights who are on duty with me.
(Eh? Isn't that just work? This guy... I bet he's never been on a real date...)
Ah, then what do you recommend to eat? Looks like there's tons of different foods to try here.
I've heard of a kind of dessert made of fruit soaked in honey. It's served on bamboo skewers so you can eat it while you walk. The honey they use is very famous.
(Eh? Isn't that just...)
Wait a minute, you said you've heard of it? Meaning you've never tried it?
It's inconvenient to eat while on duty. Plus, suddenly marching into the market unannounced would startle the citizens and possibly affect their ability to do business.
(That's true... he's a noble and the Vice-Captain of the knights. I bet he rarely gets a chance to do things like this.)
Then are you sure it's okay for you to come here with me like this? Do you need a disguise? Maybe a wig or some regular civilian clothes... Hmm, maybe a mask too. Everyone was looking at you on the way here.
I wish to always be open and honest in everything I do. Coming here with you is also a part of my duties. There's no need for me to hide.
Okay... as long as you're fine with it.
Then let's go! I wanna try those honey soaked fruit skewers you were just talking about.
(Who'd have thought you could eat these here too. Wonder if they'll taste the same...)
Ah... this sweet and sour taste, the crisp sugar coating and the soft juicy fruit within. Amazing!
(This familiar flavor is almost moving me to tears!)
No wonder it's so famous around here... Are you sure you don't want one? It's a little boring eating by myself.
... Boring?
Yeah, food always tastes better when shared with others. Don't you think so?
That wouldn't be in keeping with proper mealtime etiquette.
... Ah, so you've never shared food with someone else before?
Such an uncouth way of eating. I couldn't possibly --
Here, open wide.
These strawberries are delicious, have a taste.
W-What are you doing!? Didn't you just...
(Didn't he just take a bite of this? His saliva is still on it. If I were to eat it... it would be the same as...!?)
Seen as we're already here, you might as well get into the mood. Experience the joys of going on a date like a regular person.
D-Date?!
Wah! Isn't that the Vice-Captain of the knights? He's even more beautiful than I heard...
Ah, you've been recognized... Finish that quick, then we can go to that quiet area. It should be safer over there.
... sigh
... Or we could just stay here and let everyone see the Vice-Captain with his face all red. Shouldn't be a problem, right?
... All I need to do is eat this?
Turning his back to conceal himself from the eyes of the curious spectators, the red-faced Edmond quickly takes a bite out of the half-eaten strawberry at the top of the skewer... His pure and innocent expression is even more seductive than Eiden could ever have imagined.
How is it? Pretty good, right?
... Not bad.
Then let's get going! What should we eat next...
(... This level of sweetness should be nothing to me... So why does it seem unusually sweet?)
(Is it because of him...? How on earth...)
(But, it doesn't... seem so bad.)
