~Otome Escape~

mc: "Oh. By the way, Karno, this is chocolate... it's chocolate, but it's supposed to be super spicy. You can have it if you'd like."

I take the chocolate out of my bag and hand it to Karno.

Karno: "Hm, spicy chocolate? Interesting..."

mc: "I hope you like it."

Ichthys: "It's chocolate, but it's spicy? What's that about?"

mc: "Do you want to try it too, Ichthys?"

Ichthys: "Nah, it sounds kinda gross."

Teorus: "Hmph... when did you two learn each other's favorite foods?"

mc: "Karno taught me a lot about chili peppers while we were in Kyoto."

Krioff: "Huh? We were worried about you two, but it sounds like you were having a grand old time in Kyoto."

mc: "Err, uh..."

Karno jumps in at once to help me explain.

Karno: "We hit a few bumps in the road, but I'm glad we were able to have a fun date."

Leon & Scorpio: "...!?"

mc: (A date...? He thinks of the trip as a 'date'?)

Leon: "Have you really been seduced by a lowly goldfish...?"

Karno: "Jealous?"

Leon: "Don't be stupid..."

Karno: "I'll give you a piece of chocolate, here."

Karno tosses a piece of super-spicy chocolate into Leon's mouth.

Leon: "...! *COUGH* "Wh-What is this poison!? What are you scheming, goldfish? Feeding Karno something like this..."

mc: "Uh, it's only chocolate."

Karno: "Yeah, it's really good."

Leon: "Did you just say... 'good?' Is the inside of your mouth incapable of registering pain?"

Ichthys: "Pain? From chocolate?"

Tauxolouve: "It must pack a punch."

Huedhaut: "Why don't you try some, Ichthys?"

Ichthys: "Huh? For real? You eat some too, Aigo."

Aigonorus: "..."

The gods try the chocolate out of curiosity.

Ichthys & Aigonorus: "...!?"

The second the two gods eat the chocolate, their faces go bright red.

Ichthys: *COUGH COUGH* "Owww... what IS this stuff!?"

Aigonorus: "...!"

Tauxolouve: "Hey. Aigo, you alive?"

Huedhaut: "It appears to be quite spicy."

Ichthys: "It's not 'spicy.' It's painful."

Partheno: "Water. Now."

mc: (Poor Aigonorus...)

Karno: "I thought it was pretty mild, just a little kick of spice..."

Aigonorus: "... Your taste buds are dead."

Ichthys: "Honestly. I don't know how you eat that stuff. Yuck."

Karno's tolerance for spicy things is evidently pretty impressive. Eating the chocolate, completely unfazed, Karno turns to me and chuckles.

Karno: "You have some icing on your face."

mc: "What? I do?"

Karno: "Look, right here."

Karno reaches out, wiping the icing from the corner of my mouth and then licking it off of his own finger.

Leon & Scorpio: "...!"

mc: (Oh my god...)

Partheno: "Does the icing taste better that way? Maybe I'll give it a try too..."
