Mithra R: Honorless Carrot Battle (Easter 2022)

[l1mesharks]

Story Title: A Tall Order to Fill

Mithra: What are you doing, Master Sage? It smells good… 

Akira: Oh, Mithra. Everyone seemed curious about Easter so I’m making some deviled eggs! 

Mithra: Deviled eggs…?

Akira: Yep! I just finished so I’m gonna bring them to the dining ha— Aa!

Mithra: …They’re okay, I guess. I’m not sure what makes them so demonic though…*

Akira: (He just…grabbed one off the platter…)

Mithra: Ah, that reminds me…

Mithra: Arsim

Akira: Huh?! Mithra!

Akira: (Aaand, he’s gone... What in the world did he run off to do?) 

Mithra: Master Sage. 

Akira: (He’s back?!)

Akira: W-what’s that big egg you’re holding?

Mithra: I found it when I was out. I believe it’s some sort of magical creature. 

Akira: Of what? It’s about as tall as I am…

Mithra: Prepare this egg like you did the other, please.

Akira: You want me to cook that thing?!

Akira: How would I even boil it in the first place…Agh…

Mithra: It’s cracked. 

Akira: Wait, actually, I think it may be hatching…

Mithra: Ah, well in that case, please prepare a magical creature roast instead.

Akira: What?! I couldn’t do that! You want to eat it, Mithra…?!

TL Note: In this line Mithra actually says: “But they’re so small, that it’s a bit troublesome to eat.” I just wanted to squeeze in a deviled egg joke somewhere. They’re called stuffed eggs (スタッフドエッグ) in Japanese so it loses some of the joke potential unfortunately.
