“It’s done. It was quick, wasn’t it?”
“The caramel popcorn looks delicious too.”
“Let’s eat it right away, the three of us.”
We moved to the next room, carrying the tea and popcorn that the two prepared.
“I ate the salted popcorn by hand, but is it okay to eat the caramel popcorn with your hands too?”
“It’s fine. We can wash off the salt from our hands later.”
I’ll attach a hand towel when I bring it to Demon King-sama and Tyran-san. That’s what I decided, so I reached out for the salted popcorn first.
“Mmm, delicious.”
“I heard that freshly made ones are delicious, but this is different.”
“The salt goes well with it too.”
The simplicity of the salted popcorn allows the taste and quality of the ingredients to be directly reflected. The salt chosen by the two is indeed delicious, and they also brought high-quality dried corn kernels.
“It’s delicious, isn’t it?”
“It’s delicious.”
Before I knew it, both of them reached for the caramel-flavored popcorn and alternated between the salted and caramel ones, munching away.
The good thing about popcorn is that it can be made cheaply and easily, and it can be eaten quickly. That’s why popcorn is usually sold in movie theaters in my previous life.
“Huh!”
“Oh!”
“What’s wrong?”
I stop my hand in surprise at the voices of Migi-san and Hidari-san. When I look up, both of them are trembling.
“We ate so much.”
“For Demon King-sama and Tyran…”
Perhaps because we were munching away, there was hardly any of the two types of popcorn left. If I serve this to Demon King-sama and Tyran-san, they will definitely say it’s not enough.
But I had planned to make it again from the beginning.
“I’ll make it again, so please eat without worry.”
“Are you sure it’s okay to eat it all?”
“Of course.”
“Thank you.”
After saying that, the two start reaching for the popcorn again.
I make the two types of popcorn again and bring them to the king’s chamber. The table is already set, and Demon King-sama and Tyran-san are sitting there.
“Today’s snack is here.”
“What is this?”
“It’s popcorn.”
“Does Tyran know about it?”
“I’ve seen it a few times in the country I went to with my Master. But I wasn’t particularly interested at that time…”
“If it’s made by Dairy, it’s definitely delicious!”
“That’s right.”
Demon King-sama clenches his fist and declares. Tyran-san nods in agreement. It’s a bit embarrassing, but I’m more happy to hear that it’s delicious.
“By the way, what kind of snack is this? I can’t imagine at all.”
“I’m curious too.”
“Do you remember the corn I served before?”
“Yes. It was delicious.”
“That was a vegetable called corn used in corn soup, right?”
At that time, I served boiled corn kernels because they were used in corn soup.
Demon King-sama was very satisfied with the natural sweetness of the ingredients, and Tyran-san finished it all. That’s why they remember it well.
“This is a different variety of the same vegetable. When you heat it after drying, it expands like this.”
“It changes so much with a different variety.”
“So this is how corn looks…”
Both of them seem surprised. I was also surprised when I saw it for the first time.
That was before I was reborn.
At that time, I found it fascinating how it popped, and I begged my mother for more and more.
“Today, I made two different types. This one is salted, and this one is caramel-flavored.”
“Caramel! I’ll have the caramel.”
“Then I’ll have the salted one. I think I’ve seen it like this in the human realm too.”
They each take a plate with different flavored popcorn in front of them. After the drinks are ready, they both put a piece of popcorn in their mouths at the same time.
“Delicious.”
“Oh, it’s delicious.”
With just those words, they start eating silently.
After eating a few, Tyran-san moves the plate of salted popcorn towards Demon King-sama with a sly motion. In response, Demon King-sama also moves the plate of caramel popcorn towards Tyran-san.
Then, they reach for the exchanged plates and start munching on the popcorn.
It seems they are so fond of it that words are unnecessary.
Just watching the two of them is enjoyable.
As I sip my tea, I gaze at the popcorn being sucked into their mouths.
