'Well, today's breakfast is called Eggs Benedict, and it's made with a poached egg, thin slices of smoked rabi meat, and a special sauce on a piece of bread cut in half. Be careful with the poached egg, because if you break it, the yolk will spill out.

I explain the food, but I don't get a response back.

Normally, around Leia, she would say something like, wow, that's impressive, Takumi-san, but she reaches for the food in silence.

Nuruhachi, Alice, Chloe, and Sasha are all silent.

While the silence is piercing, only one of them gives me an impression in a strangely cheerful voice.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot more flavor when you mix it with eggs. It's wonderful.

The five chopsticks stopped at White's voice.

A tense atmosphere filled the dining table.

'What, you guys aren't going to eat? Well, I'll take that for you.

That's the moment White reaches for Leia's plate, sitting next to her.

Dom, Leia thrust her fork into the Eggs Benedict to stop it.

With a whirr, the egg yolk spurted out like a fountain.

'I'll eat it, but what is it?'

Well, we'll eat it. It's best to eat it before it gets cold.

I'm scared.

I haven't seen Leia as angry as this since the time I was kissed by the Demon King at the Great War Party.

''Oh, I can make you another one right away, so feel free to tell me.

Oh, yeah, I can get three more. It's really good.

After all, no one spoke except White.

But before I knew it, the Eggs Benedict that was on Alice's plate was gone.

Apparently, she put it away in one bite.

And while we're at it, I'll make Alice's second helping.

I move from the table to the kitchen as if to escape.

But it's strange, Dana. This dish is not supposed to exist in this world. Where did you get this from, Noda?

I can't remember. Someone made it for me when I was very little.

I don't know if it was my dad, my mom, or a stranger.

But my tongue has always remembered the taste.

It's amazing. Takumi. You're recreating it, Noka.

The air in the room became even heavier when White said my name.

'A newcomer calls Takumi-dono out,'

"That's unforgivable, Koo-chan. I need to teach you some newbie manners.

Don't let him.

You don't know what that man will do, so just be quiet.

Originally, he was supposed to introduce White to everyone before the meal.

However, White said he didn't want his food to get cold, so he said he would eat first, so he didn't introduce them and they had to sit down.

'...... No, you can't. I can't properly introduce them to everyone.

I glanced at the table while making another Eggs Benedict.

'Lord, you're not just any guy.

Nuruhachi, who has been completely silent until now, finally opens his mouth to White.

You're right. I think I'm the strongest of all of them.

The air is already chattering past the tingling.

It's not just Nuruhachi, Alice and Leia are also staring fiercely at White with their killing eyes.

''It doesn't matter how strong you are. The only thing that matters in living here is whether Takumi likes you or not.

Princess Cana of the Kingdom of Lucia. She recognized me right away.

I read about it in an old book of lore. 'I read in an old book of lore about a being who is the beginning of this world, the reason for it, the chaos. But that doesn't matter to me.

Now, it sounded like Sasha had said something important about White's identity, but I didn't understand what it meant.

'Whoever you are, if Takumi is in trouble, you're going to have to leave.

You can't do that, can you?

You can't do it alone. But with the five of us here on one, I don't think there's anything we can't do.

I'm also making the magic sword Karuna count properly.

But stop, don't provoke me, I'm scared.

"I can't do it. Can you try it, Kai?

It was at the same time as White's words.

Alice suddenly stood up and struck White with all her strength.

Until now, no one had ever stopped that blow.

That's why the scene was too unbelievable.

'Hola, I can't do it.'

One finger.

White stopped Alice's all-out right fist with one index finger.

'...... What's impossible?'

Alice's feet cracked underneath her as she stepped on it with a snap.

Ah, the cave of the New! 

I didn't do my best work yet.

Takumi's gonna be pissed off if we destroy the cave.

Gugu, pressed by Alice's fist, White's index finger warps back.

And then, with a creak, the cracks in the floor spread.

'It's broken, it's broken, Aris.

'Maybe you shouldn't lick it too much. We can do all sorts of things in the meantime.

Yeah, that's good. You can try. You can try everything.

White smiled at Sasha's further challenge.

It was a beautiful smile on her beautiful face, but it was far more frightening than the smile she had when she had no eyes, nose or mouth.

It was a creepy smile with all the insanity it contained.

''Yes, yes, I've got another helping, let's stop fighting and eat together...''

I carry a refill to the table as I dive in.

The instantaneous air loosens up a bit.

'Right. Shall we continue after breakfast?

No, no, no, it doesn't have to last.

He shook his head frantically at Sasha.

Sasha smiled and nodded, as if to say, "Leave it to me.

No, no, no, no!

What, it's over now. It's not even good preparation.

Five people and one bottle react to White's words.

But no one makes eye contact with White.

Desperately ignoring them, everyone finally starts eating their eggs benedict.

'...... Takumi-san, can I have you do some training after dinner? I want to get strong fast.

Leia doesn't give up at all, even after witnessing White's strength.

''We're also training, Koo-chan. Let's get serious.

Yes, sister Cal!

Karuna and Chloe are also on fire.

'Nurhachi, there's a book in the library of the Lucia Kingdom about this guy. I'm sure he has some weaknesses.

We'll use transference magic to get back to the country later. I've got some things on my mind.

It's not working.

They are all in combat mode.

In the midst of all this, Alice didn't move while holding her right fist.

That fist had a red bruise on it, just like the shape of White's fingers.

Alice is staring at her right fist as if she's thinking about something.

And without paying any attention to his surroundings, White took a bite of his second eggs benedict.
