I thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Never mind,\" I said, waving off her confusion. \"Let's just say your cake has a unique... kick to it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at me, still not fully understanding, but decided to let it go. \"Well, I'm glad you at least tried it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course,\" I said, smiling. \"And who knows, maybe next time it'll be even better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sona nodded, her confidence seemingly undeterred. \"I'll keep practicing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you, Serafall, for saving many innocent lives, I thought once more. \"Just... let me know if you need any taste-testers,\" I added, trying to be polite, not because I want to die once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Absolutely,\" she said with a grin. \"But only if you're ready for another round.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shit, I should keep quiet. Me and my tongue. I cursed myself for playing the gentleman role.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll be sure to prepare myself,\" I replied, the words leaving my mouth before I could stop them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I should burn some cash shop items if I want to come out unharmed next time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sona smiled warmly. \"Since you love cake so much, you can have the rest as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I glanced at the remaining cake, feeling a sense of impending doom. \"You're too kind,\" I said, forcing a smile. \"I'll make sure to savor it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please do,\" she said, her eyes shining with genuine happiness. \"It means a lot to me that you appreciate my efforts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I carefully wrapped up the rest of the cake, my mind racing for excuses to avoid consuming more of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I exited her office, I couldn't help but feel a strange mixture of amusement and dread. Sona's cooking was something else entirely, and I needed to find a way to gracefully handle it in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the hallway, I let out a sigh of relief. I cast a spell and messaged Demiurge. \"Demiurge, I have something for you to examine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demiurge's response was swift. \"Of course, Lord Alex. What is it you need examined?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I glanced at the cake. \"It's a cake someone made for me. I suspect it might be... unique. I need to know exactly what's in it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood, Lord Alex. I will analyze it thoroughly,\" Demiurge replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling a bit more at ease knowing Demiurge was on it, I made my way back to the Occult Research Club.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I walked, I thought about the day so far. Asia was settling in, Issey was getting her first contract, and I had narrowly survived Sona's cooking. All in all, not a bad day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I reached the clubroom, the others were waiting for me. Asia looked up, a smile lighting her face. \"How did it go with Sona-san?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was... interesting,\" I said, setting the cake down on the table. \"She made me a cake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rias's eyes widened. \"You ate it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded, trying to keep a straight face. \"Yeah, I did.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akeno giggled, clearly amused. \"And how was it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's just say it was a unique experience,\" I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Issey, looking intrigued, asked, \"What do you mean by 'unique'?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I smiled wryly. \"It's best if you don't find out firsthand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiba chuckled. \"Sounds like you had quite the adventure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's one way to put it,\" I said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, you're braver than I thought,\" Rias said, a hint of admiration in her voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I raised an eyebrow at her. \"You seem to know about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. I've been friends with Sona since childhood, and I've had the chance to eat her cakes before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akeno laughed softly. \"I remember you mentioning that, Rias. You never quite described it in detail, though.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rias shook her head, a smile playing on her lips. \"Let's just say it's an unforgettable experience.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asia looked at me with wide eyes. \"Was it really that bad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I chuckled. \"Let's just say Sona's talents lie more in strategy than in baking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you know, Alex, other than me and Serafall-sama, Sona hasn't given her homemade cake to anyone, not even her own peerage,\" Rias said, looking at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I raised an eyebrow. \"Really? So, I guess I'm honored in a way?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rias nodded, her expression serious yet amused. \"Yes, in a way, you are in lot of ways. Sona think highly of you. And you need to prepared, Alex.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prepared? For what?\" I asked, feeling a hint of apprehension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To meet her parents,\" Rias said, then added in a murmur, \"and mine too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, her parents and yours? Why?\" Oh boy, I really getting the hang of acting like a dense protagonist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing, really,\" Rias said with a smile. \"They will just ask you some questions and you need to answer them. It's a formality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Formality? Rias dear, that's what we call \"asking permission from parents to marry the bride,\" I thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man has to do what a man has to right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rias continue, \"But before you meet my parents, I have something I need to do.\" Rias said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She probably talking about Riser, her fiancee. I am also waiting to meet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>~~~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(In my Patreon, This arc is over and Demon Slayer Arc is over and next world has been confirmed to be New World(Overlord).)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Give me your opinion and criticism about the chapter.
