I have Hurst-san's plate on my right and Rayleigh-kun's share on the other hand when I returned to my room. It seems like they both waited for me on the table that is in the room.
It's a four-person table so there's no problem at all if the three of us sit there.
"Wow! It smells so good!"
" Yeah. It seems to be a baked batter with eggs and this sweet aroma"
As soon as I returned to the room, Hurst-san and Ryleigh-kun both stood up from their seats as they started sniffing the sweet-smelling snack that I have and like always Hurst-san's observation is extremely accurate.
And then I handed their shares as both of them went towards me and since I'm finally empty-handed, I returned once again to the kitchen and grabbed my share and went back to the room, heading to the table where the two of them are waiting.
Now then, it's my long-awaited snack time!
"I'm sorry for making you wait. Let's all eat together."
"Yes. Today as well this looks delicious"
"Un! Hey Shina-san, what do you call this dish?"
Hurst-san who is sitting in front of me with his sparkling eyes and Ryleigh-kun sitting beside me as he stares at me with his eyes filled with anticipation. Looking at the both of them like this, I couldn't help but grin as I looked over the soft, fluffy pancake.
"Today I made a dish called 'pancake' "
"Pankeyki?"
"Yes. This time I added some apples and just like what Hurst-san said. The batter is made of, eggs, flour, and milk. It's freshly cooked so it is still fluffy"
"flu-ffy "
(Eunie: he actually said 'fu-wa.fuwa')
I couldn't help but let out a laugh as, Hurst-san with his usual poker face mutter the word, 'fluffy'
"And then the white thing on top is made out of milk. It's 'ice cream', a type of frozen sweets"
"Frozen sweets? ... ...then does it mean its cold? Is it alright to put something cold and hot together?"
Seeing a freshly cooked fluffy pancake topped with a milk gelato that is now melting on top of the pancake, Ryleigh-kun couldn't be helped but worriedly ask and despite his worries, with great confidence, I nodded my head.
"You see, in cooking both the appearance and smell are essential right? But the same can also be said for the temperature."
"The temperature as well?"
"Correct. And since there are differences when it comes to the temperature but when you combine and eat them together, you can taste a different kind of deliciousness... ...but well you'll have to experience it firsthand."
"In short, it is alright to eat both this pancake and ice cream together" Ryleigh-kun said and while he seems to be lost in deep thought, Hurst-san immediately held his knife and fork and sliced a piece of pancake.
"It really is fluffy but there's still that firmness and yet the knife was easily able to pass through. Is...this apple part caramelized?"
"Yes. Since a few minutes has passed, I think it has hardened a bit but in my opinion, that crispy like texture is a nice feel to the dish"
While listening to my explanation, Hurst-san has already sliced a bitesize of the pancake with milk gelato and then brought it into his mouth ――
" … … delicious "
―― That special word, that always makes me happy
"With this fluffy texture and this melting ice cream and when I bite into that part where the ice cream has seeped through, the mellowness of the milk spreads inside my mouth. It is really delicious. What's more, the sweetness and the acidity of the apples along with the aroma of the caramel combines, it isn't just sweet but the good qualities of the different ingredients seem to mix into something better"

" Yup! I'm sure we're invincible. "
After saying that, both Hurst-san and Ryhleigh-kun's eyes seem to soften as they happily look at me.
And then Hurst-san took his next bite of the pancake with milk gelato and this time, he closed his eyes to properly feel the taste of the food――
" … … So this is what Shina-sama is talking about. The fun in enjoying the difference between the temperature. "
Hurst-san muttered as if he is deeply impressed with it.
"Since the hotness and the coldness of each dish are combined there's some sort of reaction, therefore, you can enjoy a different feeling when the two clashes and I can feel it inside my mouth with the melting ice cream on top of the hot pancake. For me to be able to feel this deeply just because of the two different temperatures... ..."
"Un. Now I really get the thing about the temperature as an important medium in the deliciousness of the food" Ryleigh-kun said as he looks at me with twinkling eyes. Seeing him like that I couldn't help but grin and said, "This is―― hiya atsu" (Eunie: it means hiya=chilled/ cold + atsu=hot. read only here at eunietl .weebly)
" "hi-yatsu" ", The two of them echoed, as if the thing that I just talked about is some sort of top secret. (Eunie: they pronounced it wrong and is a deliberate thing done)
And so I also grabbed my knife, sliced a piece of pancake and placed some milk gelato on top and took a bite ――
" Delish … … "
A bite from the thick batter and the mellow feeling of the melted milk gelato spreads inside my mouth along with the crispy texture of the caramel with a hint of bittersweet and the sweet and sour taste of the apple.
And this contrast between the piping hot pancake and milk gelato is extremely delicious!
Hiya Atsu is the best!
"Since this has quite the volume its perfect for Shina-san who wasn't able to eat lunch"
"Un. I think my stomach will hold in until dinner"
"Even though I ate lunch and this is quite a lot but I don't think this is too heavy. The apple pancake and the milk gelato's contrast probably helps that's why without even noticing it I have almost finished it."
After hearing what Hurst-san said, I looked down on his plate and one-fourth of it is already gone.
Even though both mine and Ryleigh-kun's share is already quite a lot, it seems like that size is just right for someone like Hurst-san. So I'm glad, I gave him a bigger slice. While thinking about that and seeing him eat in relish, I could also feel my appetite increase a bit.
That's why with the great energy I grabbed my knife and fork once again, looked at my plate and just when I was about to slice another bite ――
"... ...kuru"
I feel like i just heard Hurst-san say something.
And yet it was something I doubt Hurst-san will every say since it was said in such a low nervous tone.
"e? Kuru....?" I couldn't help but ask cause somehow I feel like I know this sort of low, nervous like tone. However, all Hurst-san did is nod his head and immediately called Ryleigh-kun.
"Ryleigh make sure to protect Shina-sama"
"Yes"
After hearing Hurst-san, Ryleigh-kun immediately replied as he stood up and stood near me in a protective stance and just like Ryleigh-kun, Hurst-san stood up from his seat and slowly went towards the window, cautiously looking over it.
... ....that's right. The window.
This is the room located on the second floor of the inn and normally, you'd have to be more alert towards the door and not the window.
However, instead of going there, Hurst-san went towards the double door leading to the terrace, opened it and was looking at it for a long time.
...when suddenly we heard a scream... ...
"Ryhleigh-kun, I wonder if it's just me or I hear a scream coming closer and closer... ..."
"Un. I can hear the same thing."
The one that seems like a faraway scream is now all of a sudden close to us and I feel like it is getting louder and louder towards the direction of the terrace.
And Whatmore, I feel like I can hear something humongous and earth-shattering coming our way at an incredible speed.
"Ryhleigh-kun for some reason I feel like I just saw something with red scales... ..."
"Un. I think I saw it as well."
"Ryhleigh-kun I feel like there's this huge living being with red scales and glaring golden eyes... ..."
"Un. I also think its there"
"Ryhleigh-kun I feel like I know what this thing is"
"Un. Same here. I know that Shina-san is familiar with it as well"
I knew it.
Right at the entrance of the terrace, its head was suddenly thrust in and a screeching loud voice sounded, as if the gates of hell are being opened.
That thing. That... I never want to ride ever again.
"Just why... ...?"
An earth-shattering roar, furiously waving its tail with a bashi bashi sound. Sharp claws strong enough to destroy a paved stone. And its head thrust right at the window, its huge mouth opened as it roared once again.
"... ...gyabusshu"
It's a very bad-tempered dragon.
I have Hurst-san's plate on my right and Rayleigh-kun's share on the other hand when I returned to my room. It seems like they both waited for me on the table that is in the room.
It's a four-person table so there's no problem at all if the three of us sit there.
