Now, regarding Makoto.
He was currently cleaning the 'peculiar tricolor dango'.
Considering that the tricolor dango represented Raiden Ei's feelings, discarding it directly would be too unfair to Ei.
Therefore, Makoto initiated a plan to save the tricolor dango.
He first washed off the black impurities on the surface; it now barely resembled tricolor dango, just that its appearance wasn't very good.
Following that, Makoto found some white sugar in the kitchen and sprinkled it over the dango.
After a series of operations, the appearance of the 'peculiar tricolor dango' changed significantly; at the very least, it no longer looked like a coal ball.
It was just unknown how it would taste.
Makoto picked up a skewer of tricolor dango and carefully put it into his mouth.
For a moment, burnt, bitter, and spicy flavors intertwined; this kind of sourness...
Makoto could understand the burnt and bitter flavors.
When cooking, if the heat wasn't controlled well, the sugar could indeed burn and become bitter.
But what was with the spicy flavor?
Why would a dessert like tricolor dango have a spicy flavor?
Makoto could probably imagine Raiden Ei's chaotic scene in the kitchen.
In her panic, Ei, regardless of anything, just threw whatever was nearby into the pot...
After that, Makoto also felt a tingling, numbing sensation in his mouth.
Goodness, eating tricolor dango even caused 'electro-charged' status.
Looking at the several skewers of tricolor dango remaining on the plate, Makoto felt a bit overwhelmed.
He alone probably couldn't finish so much of this dark cuisine.
But if he threw it away, he would feel bad inside...
Makoto looked at Raiden Makoto beside him, thought about it, and decided against it.
He couldn't even handle this stuff, so it was better not to trick Makoto.
Following that, Makoto's gaze shifted to Taroumaru not far away.
Taroumaru was lying on the deck, lazily basking in the sun, occasionally wagging his tail, looking very relaxed.
To this, Makoto also said to the dog, "Taroumaru, do you want to eat tricolor dango?"
Taroumaru heard Makoto's call and immediately got up and rushed over.
Hearing there was food, the dog barked excitedly.
But when he saw the tricolor dango on the plate, his happy expression immediately vanished, and he went back to lie down.
Even a dog shook his head at the food Ei made.
There was no other way; Makoto could only silently endure this suffering alone.
At this moment, Venti's voice came from beside Makoto: "Mr. Faxun, are you holding dessert?"
"Ehe~ I happen to be a little hungry too."
"May I have a skewer of dessert? Please?"
"In return, I can sing you a song."
Venti's large eyes looked directly at Makoto, his tone filled with anticipation.
He didn't know these tricolor dango were made by Raiden Ei; he just felt they looked pretty good.
Azhdaha stood next to Venti, revealing a simple and honest smile.
Fat Dango was also hungry and came out with Venti to forage for food.
"Of course, no problem. Eat if you want to," Makoto handed a skewer of tricolor dango to Venti.
Makoto was originally wondering how to deal with these tricolor dango, but then Venti arrived.
Good brothers should share hardships!
At this moment, Venti had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.
He took a big bite of the tricolor dango into his mouth.
At that instant, the burnt, bitter, and spicy flavors, accompanied by the electro-charged status, made Venti freeze in place.
This was dessert?
Mr. Faxun, listen to me, thank you for nothing...
At this moment, Azhdaha, with his honest face, looked at Venti and asked curiously, "How does it taste?"
Venti, without changing his expression, silently took a skewer of tricolor dango and gave it to Azhdaha.
"It tastes excellent, you should try it too!"
Azhdaha believed him and swallowed the tricolor dango in big gulps.
The next second, Azhdaha felt his stomach churning...
Where was the most basic trust between people?
Society is simple; it's people who are complex.
After that, Venti and Azhdaha left without looking back.
No matter how Makoto tried to persuade them to stay, they stubbornly refused to touch the tricolor dango again.
To make the freeloading Venti and the food-loving Azhdaha avoid something so desperately, perhaps only Ei's cooking could achieve that.
Looking at the many remaining tricolor dango, Makoto fell silent.
He really couldn't eat another bite; it was too tormenting...
And just then, Makoto heard a system prompt in his mind.
"Upon consuming 'peculiar tricolor dango', Electro DMG Bonus +10%!"
Huh?
Food made by Ei could even increase Electro DMG?
Makoto looked at the tricolor dango on the plate, suddenly feeling it wasn't so difficult to swallow after all.
Increasing Electro DMG was still very appealing.
As long as the Electro DMG reached a certain level, coupled with Makoto's use of Musou no Hitotachi, he could instantly cut open a 'Musou Isshin'.
What Gods? They were all weaklings!
Makoto originally thought these foods should be helpful to Keqing and Beidou.
But on second thought, the children hadn't grown up yet, and they probably couldn't withstand the side effects of the tricolor dango.
Never mind, let him silently endure this suffering alone.
