CHAPTER 14: MY PREFERENCE, HONEY


As soon as I returned from the kitchen, I heard a knock from the door. 

As expected of the handsome polar bear. His ability to sense presence is out of this world. 

"Yes, please come in"

This morning I got surprised when he did that but after seeing the strength of the handsome polar bear a while ago, it just sinked right in.

*Eunie: *SCREW YOU READ*F*CKING*LIGHTNOVEL* -sorry but I just had to post it here cause they cut it off when they copy paste it on their site UxU 

After all, he was able to cut a sword with a wooden sword.

As a reply the handsome polar bear said 'excuse me' and came inside. As soon as he saw the plate of french toast that I was holding, his eyes started to sparkle. 

"Is it that...that bread?"

"Yes, Or more like this is a dish called 'french toast', the taste is... ...well it's faster to explain its taste if you eat it."

Un. The less I explain the better he'll know the taste of it if he eats it.

As I told him to sit on the table, I placed the plate of bacon on the table...one in front of him and the other one is near mine. 

The serving they give me normally, is quite huge for a person eating alone so I was able to cook a dish enough for two people and upon seeing them line up together like this is quite the sight. 

Seeing it, I couldn't help but smile... ... .

"... ... a, I'm sorry. I forgot something"

Just when I was about to sit down, I remembered that I forgot something.

It's not the time for me to smile.

"Something you forgot?"

"Yes. Something that you can't not have when eating french toast, just wait a bit for me. 'Summon Kitchen' "

After saying a bit to the handsome polar bear, I once again went back to the kitchen and there I can see the item I was looking for.

"I'm glad it's still here. I thought it got cleaned up... ..."

On top of the kitchen table was the basket of bread that I brought before and when I looked over it, a nice golden colored honey is there. 

"I see. So items I bring over here doesn't get cleaned up or something"

When I looked over the kitchen table, the items I exchanged over is all cleaned up. While the bread of basket, the plate of the cottage cheese and honey were all left there.  

"Which means, the things I bring over must be cleaned up by me"

'It's all about the jurisdiction' or so I feel like someone say. 

I see. I understand. It was selfish me. Yes.

"Well for now, I should go back. 'Dekiagari' "

While holding the things I left on top of the kitchen table, I warped back into the room and then there's the handsome polar bear. Sitting, while patiently waiting for me and then I finally sat down. 

"Well then is it okay for me to have it?"

"Yes, Please enjoy your meal" 

I couldn't help but smile upon seeing that the handsome polar bear's eyes were shining brightly. 

With his beautiful hands, he held the knife and fork and softly, cut into the french toast.

"Amazing... ...that hard bread is easily cut by a knife... ..."

"It's because I soaked the bed thoroughly with a batter of egg and milk. That's why even the insides are soft and the outside is crispy."

"Fuwatoro" (t/n: she used fuwatoro" and he repeated it) 


With a weird seriousness, the handsome polar bear said the word 'fuwatoro' and something and then he smiled again.  What a huge difference compared when he's in his 'north pole' mode. While the handsome polar bear brimming with killing intent, is quite the sight.

"Is it better to eat it with bacon?"

"Yes. Since with just the bread alone, there might not be enough saltiness. That's why it's better to put some bacon and cottage cheese on top and eat it together."

"Yes"

Then he cut a piece of bread, that has turned yellow because of the egg and placed a toasted crispy bacon and a lot of cottage cheese. 

​And with great versatility he was able to place it on his fork and ate it. 

"... ...Delicious"

As expected he wasn't using a keigo (eunie: formal speech)

But due to his word, you can truly feel that he finds it delicious. His sparkling eyes widen, as if he was surprised by its deliciousness, as he stares at the dish. 

"It's soft yet it doesn't crumble easily. I thought it would crumble since you soaked it and that it would have too much moisture. And even though it has that softness, if you properly chew it there's still that texture. There's that much difference compared when you just eat the bread alone."

"Yes. Because I properly heated the egg batter first before having the bread absorbed it so it's not too watery and it's like an egg bread."

"I see. In here, we also eat the bread when putting over something in order to eat a hard bread easier. Like dipping it in  soup or milk in order to eat them cheaply. But to eat it like this is wonderful."

The handsome polar bear nodded in admiration and took another bite. As if finding it deliciously, his mouth smiled broadly.

"So there's also black pepper here. The saltiness of the cottage cheese and the deep flavour of the bacon along with the black pepper as an accent is really delicious"

"If that's the case then I'm glad."

Because the handsome polar bear is praising me I couldn't help but smile complacently and then my stomach grumble a bit, I took ate the french toast while it's still hot.

First is just the bread, and then with the cottage cheese and bacon...you can feel and enjoy all sorts of combination. 

With the egg batter properly soaked through until the center part of the bread made it soft. A day old bread has little bit of acidity in it but if you add up the richness of the egg and milk, it's like its wrapping around it. 

Then together with the bacon fried with it's oil makes it flavourful and the saltiness and creaminess of the cottage cheese.

"Delicious!"

This french toast is the best!

"A, so the thing that you forgot is this one"

"Honey, is it?"

"Yes?"

The one I left at the kitchen was this golden honey. I grabbed the honey and with a spoon, I slowly placed it around the toast. 

"Since this depends on a person's preference and I'm on the side that prefers having it" 

Adding the honey on top of the egg coloured bread, made it all shiny. 

"There are people who doesn't like salty food so sometimes they add something sweet and while there are also who prefers it just as is, but I'm on the side who loves to put honey."

Looking at the handsome polar bear, I smiled. 

Well this is more like, I couldn't help but smile to hide my embarrassment.

Seeing me like that, the handsome polar bear looked at me with kind gentle eyes.

"Well then I'd like to try some honey too."

"Eh? You don't have to force yourself." 

Even though I feel a little bit worried, I handed the honey to him. and as the handsome polar bear got the honey, without any hesitation he pour some on his plate.

With the crispy crunchy bacon, topped with the golden honey made it glossy and then there's that gooey melted cottage cheese with black pepper on top of the egg coloured bread. 

"Since it is something that Isarai-sama likes, I would also want to try it"

"... ...yes"

Reflecting the glossy honey were, his blue colored eyes turned into slits (he's smiling). Seeing that, for some reason my heart tightens( gyuu) up a bit... ....

What should I do.

I might be happy.

People have all sorts of different preference.

And I properly respect them and it's not like I want to push the things I like. That's why I have things I like and dislikes, it's something obvious and I think that way is fine.

But... ... .

For someone who doesn't deny the things I like. 

Tells me that he/she wants to try it and actually does.

And to find the same thing to be enjoyable.

It's not like I want someone to accept everything. 

If you don't like it then don't, as long as you say it, to be excited about the same things or to do the same things we can both enjoy. 

... ...Since there's not a lot of people who can understand you. 

"It seems like adding honey makes it look a lot more delicious"

Saying that, the handsome polar bear took a bite of the french toast with bacon, cottage cheese and honey. 

"... ...Delicious"

He murmured after eating it.

"I thought that it'd be a bit heavy if the french toast has only cheese and bacon since it's quite salty. But it seems like it also works if you add something sweet. Plus, I think adding honey on the bacon makes it a lot more flavourful"

"In my world, there were a lot of recipe for a sweet french toast. Like adding some sugar, adding some fruits and sprinkle some sugar. It's like eating it like a dessert and it's just the best."

Next time I'd want to make something sweet.

Like a compote of ice fruits...

"That sure sounds delicious."

His blue eyes smiled gently, as if he's happy and enjoying it.

"... ... I, I'm glad"

... ...eating alone was alright.

But right now, eating together makes me think this is quite fun.

"That Hurst-san is here" (T/n: sorry to break the moment guys but....FINALLY SHE SAID HIS NAME. LMAO)


I said, while smiling a little.

And then for some reason his eyes started to swim around (t/n: *insert Happy from FT* He liiiiiiikes her)

"I...I see"

He seems to have frozen...?
