Is It Too Late to Leave the Chat Group?

Book 4: Chapter 21: Can Dogs Eat Chocolate?

Chen Heng glanced at the bizarrely colored cake before him, then at Blue Poison, who was looking at him with anticipation. He simply could not lie about not being hungry.

Steeling his heart, Chen Heng picked up the spoon at the side and extended it towards the cake.

“How is it? He Who Knows Fate, is it delicious?”

“It tastes surprisingly good.”

“What do you mean, surprisingly good? Did you think that my cake would taste terrible before eating it?”

“I didn’t! I didn’t! Quickly, try the cake I made for you.”

“Hmmm! Hmmm! It is very delicious!”

“Do you want to learn? I can teach you.”

“I do.”

This is the first time Chen Heng saw Blue Poison smile. She looks very pretty.

Then…

Knock-knock-knock!

“Who is it?” Blue Poison found it strange. Someone actually came to her dormitory to look for her.

“Exusiai!”

Chen Heng: “…” Excellent, the troublemaker is here.

Suddenly, Chen Heng sensed someone pinging him in the chat group.

Kal’tsit: @He Who Knows Fate, Exusiai should be going to your accommodations soon. However, they should be there to find Blue Poison. Amiya told me that Exusiai saw you with Blue Poison, so Exusiai asked for Blue Poison’s dormitory.

He Who Knows Fate: Why didn’t you say earlier? I’m in Blue Poison’s room now.

Kal’tsit: …Who would know you were in Blue Poison’s room?

Umaru-chan: He Who Knows Fate, you are not to touch my waifu!

He Who Knows Fate: Haha! Your waifu is already mine!

Umaru-chan: …

Kal’tsit: Rather than fleeing, you might as well find an excuse to delay for a few days. Then you can return to your world. That way, you can avoid having to keep avoiding her.

He Who Knows Fate: That works too.

“He Who Knows Fate, I’ll go open the door.” Blue Poison felt extremely curious about who would visit her. While the person answered Exusiai, she did not know who Exusiai was. Is it the person who tried to block He Who Knows Fate at the canteen?

“Go on, then. Go on.”

“How excellent! He Who Knows Fate, you are indeed here!” When Blue Poison opened the door, she saw a Lateran and a Lupo standing at the entrance. As Chen Heng sat in the living room, Exusiai saw him the moment the door opened.

“I have something to say. Please listen to me.”

“Speak.”

“What is the point of chasing after me like that? Even if you obtained me, you would not obtain my heart.”

“Huh? Who wants your heart? I only want to ask why you can remove the halo above my head.” Exusiai turned a fanatical gaze on Chen Heng.

Seeing that the visitors knew Chen Heng—they were the people who blocked him at the canteen at that—Blue Poison let the two in.

“Can I not say?”

“No. This is an extraordinary case.”

“How about this? Give me half a month. I have a mission the day after tomorrow. Perhaps I might visit Lungmen after the mission. If you bring me around Lungmen, I will go to Laterano with you. How about that? However, I will say nothing before that. Furthermore, let me tell you this: I have seen a real angel before.”

“A real angel…alright. I’ll give you half a month. In any case, while a monk can run, the temple cannot. This is the same for you. Remember to come to Lungmen to find me after your mission. Oh, right, tell me your communicator number.”

“Oh? Communicator? I don’t have one. What is that?”

“He Who Knows Fate, the communicator is the thing hanging at your waist on the left.” Blue Poison walked over to Chen Heng’s left and pointed to a walkie-talkie hanging there. He had just received it from Orchid today.

“Hey! Isn’t this thing a walkie-talkie?” Chen Heng had taken the thing hanging at his waist for a walkie-talkie all the while. Who would have imagined that this metal box was actually the cellphone equivalent of this world?

“This is the communicator that operators use; there are some differences from a walkie-talkie. You can treat it as a walkie-talkie that can make phone calls.”

“Then can you teach me how to operate this thing?”

“Exusiai and Texas, don’t rush to leave. Do you want to try the cake I made?” Chen Heng successfully exchanged communicator numbers with Exusiai under Blue Poison’s guidance.

“Now that you mention it, I feel hungry. I have been searching for you the entire afternoon and have not eaten yet.”

“That’s great. I made too many Black Forest cakes today. Blue Poison and I cannot finish them all.” Chen Heng gestured to the many Black Forest cakes beside the oven.

------

“It’s delicious! Unexpectedly, He Who Knows Fate is a superb cook. The cake you made is only a little inferior to apple pie!” The Black Forest cake Chen Heng made had subdued Exusiai. However, she still had her obsession with apple pie, ranking the cake next to apple pie.

Chen Heng did not continue Exusiai’s topic of conversation. Instead, he watched Texas eat the Black Forest cake. Although he only used a little bit of chocolate in the Black Forest cake…

“If you have a question, just ask it. Don’t keep staring.” Although Chen Heng’s Black Forest cake was delicious, and Texas loved eating it, she could not stand someone staring at her with great curiosity.

“I would like to ask—please don’t take offense at this—I want to ask, can dogs eat chocolate? The Black Forest cake has some chocolate in it.” As mentioned previously, Chen Heng’s darned curiosity would get him killed sooner or later. The last time he felt curious, he plucked off Exusiai’s halo. This time…

“…” Texas paused while eating the Black Forest cake. Although she had already prepared herself mentally, she had not expected Chen Heng to ask this ridiculous question.

“Hey! He Who Knows Fate, Miss Texas is a Lupo; that is a wolf, not a dog,” Blue Poison reminded kindly as she poked Chen Heng’s side before Texas could answer the question.

“Ah! Sorry. Just pretend I said nothing. Continue eating; don’t stand on ceremony. Also, Blue Poison, don’t poke my side. I’m very ticklish.”

After hearing what Chen Heng said, Blue Poison did not stop. Instead, she continued poking Chen Heng’s side, only stopping when Chen Heng caught her finger.

Texas really wanted to draw her weapon and cut the person who spoke such nonsense into three. However, her reason stopped her. She focused her anger on eating, demolishing the Black Forest cake before her. All things aside, this cake was indeed delicious.

“Hey! Texas, to think you can endure this! When I asked you this question before, didn’t you beat me up? Why didn’t you beat He Who Knows Fate up when he asked you? This is unfair!” Texas had already decided to refocus her anger on eating. Who would have imagined Exusiai would deal a follow-up blow to Texas right after?
