Part 11. The Fourth Dust - Key Rush of Taste Buds
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAwWvPd7hX
"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."

"But the clue says to enjoy the dreamy desserts, right?" Amisa already had her fingers on her chin, drooling.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgoeAuKfTQ
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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H2W45fSQN
"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."
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFMR0qqam4
"Ahahaha~ Don't worry, we can eat and chat at the same time, which will naturally slow down our actions," Toosb reassured.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMcofk5Gtg
"That's a good idea!" Amisa agreed.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaPOkcaebW
"It's also possible," Jasky said, looking at the desserts, feeling a hidden worry in his heart.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkfC8mLD6U
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.

"So, Toosb, are you a mixed-race?" Amisa dug into her black sugar cake with small bites.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9ESaakRLZ
"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."
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c5fIEpc83
"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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCYN6hckAH
"Oh yeah, his behavior does resemble my dad's a bit."
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SWnPC4u8n
"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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgwtkt2FCw
"Don't eat too quickly," Jasky reprimanded.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuUESanU2x
"Sorry, sorry. By the way, Jasky, are you a mixed-race too?"
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pWUUgGfg7
"How did you know?"
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVtdoNNfwg
"Instinct."
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBrUjjUujk
"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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt2IIfi0aN
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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZdCSzbuvA
"Oh no! Amisa...!"
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImMJJTW9eI
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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhQo1lKMuo
"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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu385ZW1dW
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?"
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ing3kli7w
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."
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUJpPqYnTx
Looking around the cute and appetizing restaurant with a variety of desserts for unlimited consumption, Jasky felt a sense of loneliness. "So quiet..."
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g0KqviBJP
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..."
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yf1glXtCT
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!"
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu7BxQMqAf
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.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4veWOTd6PH
In an instant, Jasky also vanished from his high stool.
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIaHGaxHVm
"Mew mew mew mew mew mew mew!" Mido beans, witnessing the scene, flew around the empty restaurant, unsure of what to do.
