Masked W: I'm like peanuts or vegetables, and Saeko is outside the door.

"Is it really necessary for the chef and the servants to eat together?" Saeko Sonozaki said with some dissatisfaction.

She never bothered to associate with such people.

Eating with the servants...

This is lowering her status.

"It's nice to try it once in a while; you might find some other interesting things happen."

Sonozaki Ryubei slowly sat down, smiling as she spoke, and picked up a silver fork to taste the dessert in front of her.

Upon hearing this, Saeko Sonozaki, though still somewhat dissatisfied, was understandable since her father had said so, and...

This matter was still spearheaded by Lu Chen.

So there was nothing more to say.

He could only sigh helplessly.

Those around breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and picked up their cutlery, looking at the carefully decorated cake in front of them with a hint of satisfaction in their eyes.

Now, let's begin to taste!

But the moment the dessert entered their mouths, everyone's expressions changed drastically; the taste...

How can there be such an awful dessert?

Because of her good upbringing, Sonozaki Saeko swallowed it with a dark face, but the servants didn't think much of it and all vomited it up.

"What is this? How can it taste so bad?" Sonozaki Saeko stared at the dessert in disbelief. This was the first time she had ever encountered something so awful, and her face turned as black as charcoal.

Who knew that something that looked so appealing would taste like a combination of sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy flavors? Just the aftertaste of that flavor is enough to send shivers down your spine.

"What...what's going on with all this?"

Sonozaki Ryubei frowned.

Look unhappy.

Wakana secretly rejoiced that she hadn't eaten any dessert; thankfully, she had guessed it might not taste good, so she hadn't.

She and Saeko both knew some of the inside information.

Knowing that these desserts were made by Shotaro and his two companions, Saeko never expected them to be so bad. If only she had known...

She won't eat it!

Then, Saeko and Wakana looked at Lu Chen at the same time. The latter touched his nose. He had come up with the idea, but the taste of the dessert was decided by the three of them, including Shotaro.

It's none of his business.

Yes, absolutely not!

Suddenly, the sound of a plate shattering came from the side, attracting everyone's attention. The beautifully presented dessert was broken along with the plate.

Unfortunately, no one cares.

The person who smashed the plates and desserts was the servant, Sasaki Yukiko, her hands covered in white cream, her eyes filled with anger.

Her eyes were filled with a hint of madness as she glared fiercely at the pastry chefs, led by Asakawa Mai, not far away, and shouted angrily:

"How dare you make my precious tongue taste such garbage dessert? I will never forgive you damned bastards!!!" Sasaki Yukiko's angry eyes wished she could tear the people in front of her to pieces. Her behavior also exposed her true colors. Shotaro and the other two walked into the living room.

"So, it was you who kidnapped Mai-san's father?" Shotaro asked.

Chapter 40: Wakana is in trouble, and as her fiancé, I can't just stand by and do nothing.

"Shut up!"

"You have no right to ask me questions!"

A ferocious look flashed across Sasaki Yukiko's face as she slowly took out the dessert memory and, under the incredulous gazes of the servants and pastry chefs, inserted it into the connection point of her neck.

next moment!

The moment the dessert memory chip touched the skin of her neck, it burst forth with a dark red light.

【Sweets!】

(Dessert!)

The light transformed into a brown liquid secretion that quickly enveloped Sasaki Yukiko tightly.

Then the human appearance disappeared, leaving behind a huge red head with two eyes of different sizes and positions, and a body composed of blue-green and red.

This is...

Dessert adulteration!!!

Without a doubt, she will also be the culprit behind the mysterious disappearances of so many pastry chefs in Fengdu.

The dessert-mixed creature's right hand resembled an egg beater, the only difference being that it could spray out sticky saliva to firmly grasp its prey and prevent it from escaping. She slowly raised her hand towards Asakawa Mai, and then sprayed out a stream of sticky saliva that instantly stuck to Asakawa Mai's body.

Mai Asakawa hurriedly tried to break free.

But no matter what she did.

There's no way to get rid of this drool.

"Miss Mai".

Seeing this, Akiko was both anxious and furious, and shouted, "You bastard! Don't hurt her!"

Mai Asakawa is one of the clients.

If something happens to her...

The consequences could be disastrous!

Forget about paying the final payment.

Akiko's silence was fine, but her voice immediately caught the attention of the dessert adulterant.

"You come here too."

The dessert adulterer said coldly, then spat out saliva again, not only on Akiko but also on Shotaro beside her. This meant that Shotaro didn't have time to protect Akiko. Although he dodged the saliva, Akiko was not spared.

Covered in sticky, creamy saliva, Akiko was instantly filled with panic. The dessert-like entity laughed loudly and, with a thought, forced Akiko, still covered in saliva, to fly towards it.

"No! No!"

"I don't want to be eaten by dessert!!!"

Fear immediately appeared on Akiko's face.

As soon as the words were spoken, the dessert hybrid roared and sucked Akiko and Mai Asakawa into its stomach. Instantly, the dessert hybrid's form changed, and everyone was stunned.

This monster... it can eat people?!

After the initial shock came panic.

People scattered and fled, creating a great commotion and chaos throughout the hall.

Others are fleeing, hiding, and living in fear.

But there are a few who do not do that.

Ryubei Sonozaki, Saeko Sonozaki, Wakana Sonozaki, and Lu Chen remained seated in their chairs.

However, the first three people looked quite unwell.

Their family gathering...

It has been destroyed.

This person is unforgivable!

Saeko Sonozaki's eyes were icy cold as she looked at the person mixed with dessert, as if she were already looking at a dead person.

She was about to pull out the forbidden memory to teach this guy a lesson when she was stopped.

Lu Chen gently patted her hand, then pointed to Zuo Xiangtaro, who was already furious.

"Leave it to him."

"he?"

Saeko Sonozaki looked slightly puzzled, but before Lu Chen could answer, Shotaro Sato had already given his answer.

He stepped forward, holding a dark purple Gaia Memory in his hand. Both Sonozaki Saeko and Sonozaki Ryubei's pupils shrank.

"That is......"

【CYCLONE!】

(blast!)

【JOKER!】

(trump card!)

In the lobby, Shotaro and Philip, who was hiding in the shadows, inserted the memory they possessed into the slot of their waist drive.

next moment!

"Hen-shin!" (Transformation!)
