Part 11. The Fourth Dust - Key Rush of Taste Buds
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyEFBSrNRI
"Tongue food" is a dessert restaurant with various cute dessert models placed around, creating the illusion of being inside a candy house. In the center, there is a large rotating table where a variety of desserts and snacks are placed and automatically circulated. The concept is similar to a sushi conveyor belt, but three tall stools are evenly spaced and fixed around the rotating table.

The Fourth Dust - Key Rush of Taste Buds: Enjoy the dreamy desserts to your heart's content, and the room will collapse in 30 minutes.

"We have 30 minutes this time! And it's all-you-can-eat. Finally, a decent level!" Toosb's mouth was watering, and Amisa couldn't help but feel tempted. However, the two of them were stopped by Jasky. "Wait a minute, there might be some traps."
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw7WnYcNX2
"But the clue says to enjoy the dreamy desserts, right?" Amisa already had her fingers on her chin, drooling.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n3Wmfr4hT
Jasky sighed helplessly. "I'm saying, just the phrase 'dreamy desserts' is highly suspicious. We have been deceived by one-sided words many times before. Isn't the lesson from the third level enough?"

Upon hearing this, the two finally regained their composure and restrained their salivation. Jasky pointed to the distance between the three tall stools around the rotating table. "Take a closer look. The distance between the stools is quite wide. In case of food poisoning or mental collapse after eating, we won't be able to support each other."

"But the key might be inside the food, right? Are we not going to eat anything?" Amisa asked in confusion.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndevJXSaOr
"We can eat, but we must chew slowly and swallow carefully, so we can detect any abnormalities and inform each other. That's the method I came up with." Jasky glared at Toosb with anger. "Especially you."

"Ahahaha~ Don't worry, we can eat and chat at the same time, which will naturally slow down our actions," Toosb reassured.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8thRY7odf
"That's a good idea!" Amisa agreed.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsgT4JY4PE
"It's also possible," Jasky said, looking at the desserts, feeling a hidden worry in his heart.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQXJsLKURh
The three of them suppressed the urge to gorge on the desserts and began to eat slowly, as planned, savoring each bite while engaging in conversation.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaCGkOMzjg
"So, Toosb, are you a mixed-race?" Amisa dug into her black sugar cake with small bites.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8dHYxi2Ad
"Oh yeah, my mom is Taiwanese. She met my crazy dad while studying hairstyling in Japan, and they got married and opened a salon in Nagoya."
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTTZiB5GTG
"That's why you have a close relationship with frogs, right?" Jasky, with a coffee candy in his mouth, believed that this way he could pay more attention to any abnormalities.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd76y194wD
"Oh yeah, his behavior does resemble my dad's a bit."
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpt3z4NyGX
"I'm also a mixed-race! My grandma said my dad is Taiwanese, and my mom is British. Although I don't have many memories of them... oh no!" Unconsciously, Amisa finished her black sugar cake and noticed her favorite white cream cake floating over. She quickly picked it up and placed it on the table.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJyU3mw2r8
"Don't eat too quickly," Jasky reprimanded.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauqIeZ6G5M
"Sorry, sorry. By the way, Jasky, are you a mixed-race too?"
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW1neYtXhh
"How did you know?"
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RU4TJFwSg
"Instinct."
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeorh2z3Dc
"Women's intuition is truly terrifying, hahaha!" It had only been 10 minutes, and Toosb had already finished three plates and was now eating a freshly acquired donut.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemg16bQTsr
Jasky was too lazy to stop him and returned. He lowered his head and continued eating the coffee candy while returning to the previous topic. "My mother is Taiwanese, and my father is German. My mother is more reserved in nature, and I think the cultural differences might have been one of the reasons for their divorce. It's quite a coincidence that we are all mixed-race...". He looked up and realized that Toosb's seat was empty, leaving behind the nearly finished cream cake on the table.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpPwFKEt3y
"Oh no! Amisa...!"
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVOKqbhKlE
The sound of a bell echoed through the air, and the spoon dropped on the table, making a metallic sound. Amisa disappeared into thin air, leaving behind the leftover cream cake and the oblivious Mido beans.

"They were just warned to be careful moments ago!" Jasky couldn't help but complain, standing up and slamming the table. The entire restaurant was now empty, with only him and Mido beans left.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQjSnWWGWH
Jasky tried to calm his mind and sat down, contemplating the meaning of the hint. "The dreamy dessert on the tip of the tongue... could it mean we need to explore something from the desserts rather than finding a key?"
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCOC6JYPa7
As he pondered, he found the blind spot in his thinking and couldn't help but smack his forehead in self-reproach. "What a fool I've been! If the key is really inside, why bother eating slowly... I should have just moved aside the food to find it."
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT06wuUZyNN
Looking around the cute and appetizing restaurant with a variety of desserts for unlimited consumption, Jasky felt a sense of loneliness. "So quiet..."
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO8gLhauez
Jasky furrowed his brows, reminiscing about how they first met at the Pudding Cup Talent Show, strolled through the White City Market, and had engaging conversations at the dining table. The beautiful memories flashed before his eyes, but now he was alone. He couldn't help but sigh, "What's the point of all this..."
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV12L5y0fDp
Jasky gazed at the endless supply of rotating desserts, and he decided to give up on himself. He stood up and began devouring the desserts with his bare hands, just like Toosb did, wolfing them down. "Hmph! I was a lonely otaku to begin with. This is how I normally eat. Rather than clearing the level alone, I'd rather be buried under rubble!"
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDFt24ns6E
Jasky ate in a fit of self-abandonment. He noticed a star-shaped coffee cookie on the track and grabbed it directly, forcefully shoving it into his mouth.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEmITXB5LE
In an instant, Jasky also vanished from his high stool.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dykPfnOPd
"Mew mew mew mew mew mew mew!" Mido beans, witnessing the scene, flew around the empty restaurant, unsure of what to do.
