Why did she want this thing when she turned around?

As if he had guessed what Ian was thinking, or as if he had originally intended to do so, Shima Qiyong quickly smiled and "explained":

"She just insisted that mine was sweeter—"

“So let her give it a try~”

"what?"

Ian was somewhat more surprised when he heard the explanation from Shima Qiyong.

After all, it was hard for him to imagine that his good friend Okita Souji would actually say such little girlish words.

"Okita, is that so?"

"..."

Okita Souji's expression became very interesting the moment Ian said this.

However, she suppressed her inner conflict and nodded.

"Yes...that's it."

"I always feel that Shima Qi's is sweeter than mine, so I want to try it."

“Oh…I see…”

Although he always felt that something was wrong, Ian was not to the point of having to get to the bottom of it.

"Then you give it a try. I didn't do anything."

"it is good!"

After finally explaining everything clearly and logically, Souji Okita took the bag and started to feast on it.

She also did not forget the "plan" she and Shima Qiyong had just made.

As soon as he ate a glutinous rice dumpling (even though its taste still gave Souji Okita a full-body stimulation like before), Souji Okita frowned.

"wrong."

"That's not the reason it's sweeter than mine!"

"Oh?"

Shima Qiyong cooperated very tacitly.

"Okita, you're going a bit too far. I gave you the bag and the food, and you're still saying mine is sweeter than yours. That's really unreasonable!"

"Unless... you can find another reason."

"..."

Souji Okita took a deep breath, calmed his pounding heart, and then pretended to be very serious and began to explain the reason for the difference in "sweetness".

"I see!"

"Besides the difference in bags, there's another one!"

"What is it?!" Shima Qiyong continued his cooperation.

"Yes--"

Souji Okita shifted his gaze from Shima Qiyong to Ian.

"Have you been fed by Sui San?"

"Hey! That makes sense!"

Shima Qiyong's gaze also moved to Ian along with Okita Souji.

"I did have some help from Saizo when I ate."

"But yours doesn't."

"Could it be possible... that Saizou can make these desserts taste good?!"

"Are you kidding me?"

Ian quickly refuted the two girls' "dessert hypothesis" which sounded like a fairy tale.

"How could this be possible? I'm not some weird person, how could I possibly make these sweets taste good?!"

"No no no~"

Shima Qiyong waved his fingers, looking extremely experienced.

"Sai San, you don't understand this, do you?"

"Everyone has their own talents - this is the so-called 'different skills are conquered by different people'."

"And such talents are often unknown to the person themselves. Only at certain specific moments will they be unearthed like treasures. This has been an unchanging truth since ancient times."

"..."

"You mean, my talent is 'making sweets taste better'?" Ian said speechlessly.

"That's right!"

Shima Qiyong gave a thumbs up.

"Isn't this normal?"

"You're normal!"

Ian knocked on Shima Qiyong's head - now he was much taller than the two girls.

"Even a three-year-old wouldn't take that seriously, Shima Qi, stop talking nonsense."

"Eh?!"

Shima Qiyong didn't seem to expect that Ian would have his own opinion at this time.

This... was something beyond our plan!

However, the next moment, this loophole that seemed to have destroyed the entire plan was filled by Okita Souji.

She lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Ian, but she was talking in a low voice.

"that……"

"Sui San..."

"What's wrong?" the boy asked in confusion.

"No, nothing..." Okita Souji's voice became smaller and smaller, but it became clearer and clearer. "I just think what Shima Qi said is indeed correct."

"Saisan, maybe you really do have a talent for making sweets taste better."

"..."

The words were almost identical to those of Shima Qiyong, and could even be said to have been copied verbatim.

But Ian's attitude changed at this moment.

He stretched out his hand and helped Okita Souji, who had lowered his head, to raise his head.

"Okita, say it again?"

"I said--"

With his chin lifted up, Souji Okita looked at Ian with a strange look in his eyes.

She used up all her strength and shouted at him.

"I said--"

"Saisan, maybe you really have the ability to make sweets taste good!"

"I believe this!"

"Okita, are you serious?" Ian asked again.

"Of course I'm serious!" Okita Souji said anxiously, "Do I look like someone who would say something careless?!"

"..."

Shima Qiyong was stunned for a moment.

She did describe a plan to Okita Souji that seemed a bit far-fetched, but she never expected that the other party would be so strict in executing it.

This……

Another unexpected variable!

but--

The results seem to be not very good.

"Why didn't you say so earlier!" Ian let go of his hand, as if he was completely unaware of how intimate his action of lifting Okita Souji's chin was.

"If you think so, Okita, then I might actually have such talent!"

"That--"

The boy's gaze returned to Shima Qiyong.

"What should I do to further confirm this?"

"..."

Although the method is slightly different, the result is much better than expected.

Shima Qiyong would not miss such an opportunity to make a good assist. She immediately crossed her arms over her chest and pretended to be a tactical master.

"It's easy—why don't you just give it a try?"

"Since Okita said you can make sweets taste even better..."

The assisting girl picked up the bag of sweets that originally belonged to Okita Souji, and the contents were barely touched.

"Just make this dessert that Okita originally thought was unpalatable, delicious!"

"Makes sense!"

Ian stretched his muscles, making a crackling sound.

"Okita, come on!"

"it is good!"

Ever since——

With the help of his powerful wingman, Shima Qiyong, Ian and Okita Souji began their "magic experiment" with sweets.

"How about it--"

The boy pinched a small and cute glutinous rice ball and gently fed it to the girl's mouth. After seeing her swallow a bite with a gurgling sound, he asked this question.

“Does it taste better?”

Gulu gulu——

Souji Okita chewed the glutinous rice dumpling for a while, then swallowed it, and said excitedly with starry eyes.

"good to eat!"

“It’s many times more delicious than the original!”

"Sai San, you really do have such talent!"

"That--"

Ian estimated the heavy bag in his hand and couldn't help but think.

Is this glutinous rice dumpling really not that delicious...it hasn't moved at all...

"Okita, do you want more?" the boy asked.

"want!"

Okita Souji smiled sweetly.

"I want Sui-san to make this bag of sweets taste good!"

It was a great “experiment.”

With the "assistance" of Okita Souji and Shima Qiyong, you confirmed that you seem to have a special ability to "make sweets taste even better."
