Labyrinth Restaurant

There are a number of shops in various parts of the Labyrinth City run privately and hobbily by Cosmos and his siblings, Homunculus, separate from the public causes of the demonic world. It's what they do because they're curious and they love to joke about it, so they often have different colorful assortments, interiors, and unusual rare wonders on their shelves to see.

There is a wide variety of items to handle.

Jewellery and land houses when it's expensive.

Food and daily groceries as an affordable item.

In some stores, they also handled cheap confectionery that was within reach even at the children's pennies.

"Hello, Asagao. And Yugao. Here I am."

"Oh. Welcome, sister."

"You look small today. I think it's cute and good."

On this day, Cosmos, who is looking like a child today, came to the confectionery store run by his sisters.

Asagao and Yugao, which were particularly similar among homunculus manufactured during the same period, were also seen from within themselves as twin sisters (not that they were in a strictly biological sense), and they accepted that such treatment seemed to come firm.

"By the way, sister. Are you with them?

"Yeah, we were playing hide-and-seek together until just now, but I was hungry, so I thought I'd treat you all to something"

Cosmos, who was dressed as a child, seemed to be hanging out with the city's children.

From across the store door, from about five years old below to over ten years old above, boys and girls alike came in. Will there be more than twenty in all? As a confectionery store, it is a spacious store, but it seems difficult to walk straight with this many people on the boulder, even though it is full of children.

"So I'll buy all the treats from this store. Do you mind if I keep eating? In the form of small portions and takeaways if you have excess. Come on, come on, then, ladies and gentlemen. All the treats here are ours now, so don't hesitate to do whatever you want."

"'Delicious (Hey) Shin Bar' that molds corn flour into an elongated cylindrical shape for a variety of flavors? Hey, Cosmos. Is this okay in a double sense?

"Oh, Simon. Is there a problem with the completely original product we developed?

What Simon took in his hands was an unlimited number of snack treats very similar to the popular pastry I remember seeing when I used to go to Japan...... What is depicted on the wrapping paper is a character like you saw somewhere saying, "Call the general!" and an illustration of an unconceived mystery yelling at me.

By the way, the flavor of what Simon has in his hands is "a roe flavor that doesn't use good seasoning". It smelled kind of very dangerous, even if it wasn't an issue as far as unfolding in this world.

"Mm, it's pretty tasty here"

Some things are dangerous in a way, but that's not a problem with flavor either. The same applies to other products, and the kids were trying from one end to the other to find the treat they were interested in.

Gluten confectionery flavoured with golden flavoured sugar, carrots and brown sugar. Candy and caramel are also gaining popularity, with small homunculus toys attached as an omelet.

"Hehe, it's good to see kids having fun."

"Though our actual age is lower when it comes to children. And your sister is a child now."

"It's not about putting in a bland scratch, Asagao. As your sister said, young children are really good. It will provide eye care. Is it something you can't legally take home?

Given the time of manufacture, the Homncruses are younger than the kids, but they are all child-loving.

Even though there are any number of more efficient means of trying to profit from business, I dare to sell sweets for children with low interest margins, also because my main purpose is to get in touch with small children. Some individuals (Yugao) are slightly in the wrong direction of their favor, but, well, as such, they enjoyed the job very much.

"Oh, Mr. Lime. What's the matter, sir?

"I don't know"

"Don't you know how to eat? Oh, it's water candy."

A while after the kids came, Lyme came to Yugao, where she was looking after her eyes from the inside of the counter. I seem to want to know how to eat unfamiliar treats, water candy.

Water candy ingredients vary from brown rice to malt and potatoes.

In short, it has long been treasured as a sweetener more readily available than sugar because the starch contained in the original ingredients has been saccharified using enzymes.

"This is, like, two sticks of water candy."

"Hmm."

"This is how I stir it, and it's about time I ate around a little stiff and white. Do you want to try?

"Yeah."

It's such a way to eat water candy, but unlike common candy balls, it's soft, so you can't keep grabbing it with your hands. No, there's nothing you may not be able to do, but your hands will definitely get dirty in Vietnam.

The trick to eating such water candy well is to mix it with a stick of appropriate length and give it moderate hardness by allowing it to contain air. Items sold in this store also came with wooden sticks in candy bottles.

If you keep mixing it, it will gradually turn white, so is it about time you ate around the color completely changed? Containing air also smooths the palate.

"Not really. Yum."

"Mm, it's Lime. What's that eating?

"Heh, water candy? That sounds delicious too."

Sometimes it's an unfamiliar treat, or I saw Lime eating it, and the other kids seemed interested in water candy. I started squeezing water candy around with unfamiliar hands. Some of them were clumsy, and I couldn't do it well on my own.

"Hehe, let me help you. Yeah, I don't care."

"Yugao sister, it's painful when you can push your chest so hard..."

"Is it time to report this?

It was resolved successfully by Yugao's literally enthusiastic teaching of the adorable boys and girls. I also feel like there's going to be another serious problem, and Asagao was worried it was time to rethink the way he dealt with them, all trivial in front of the kids' smiles. The kids enjoy a lot of treats, and the clerks are enjoying them again, so this would be the win-win relationship.

We cut it up in the right place because if we ate too much, we wouldn't be able to get dinner in, but the kids who were given the remaining treats in the store as souvenirs arrived at home in a ravenous foothold to thank Cosmos, Asagao and Yugao.

Below, for the record.

"Sold out!? No, no, that was all yesterday, wasn't it?

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gard. We don't mean to disappoint our customers, but there's nothing we don't have."

"If you want to explain why in the end, Gardo is not small or cute. Oh, I'm talking about appearance. It's a shame, if you're half a century younger."

same evening.

The store's biggest regular customer explained what was going on in the store, which was completely empty, and the clerk explained what was not clear to him, and he held his head, but this is also, well, trivial compared to the smiles of the children.
