Chapter 1

What, is it… Kurama? It's pretty late, for a talk.

…Well, uh.

When you hear the phrase "a dreamy world filled with sweets", what colours come to mind?

Huh?

……

…*sigh* mahorova BD Event, huh. Leave it to this company to decide to entertain other people on our own birthdays.

—Yet despite your complaints, you're hunched over your desk, diligently refining your plan. I find that quite endearing.

Not like I have a choice, Chief-san and Karigane-san would never shut up about it otherwise.

Naturally. That said, I do think it's about time you take a break—I've brewed you some of my special gyokuro.

…Thanks, I appreciate it.

… Do you have any advice or whatever?

Let me think… It may be arrogant to offer suggestions, given my knowledge only comes from mine happening before yours, but—

For my BD Event, I was able to create an ideal world that embodied what I “like”¹. Though it may have been within mahorova, I flew above the skies.

Right. You looked like you had a lot of fun with it.

I can still distinctly recall the joy and passion I felt from the event.

So I think it would be a good idea to fill it with the things you like yourself, and things you'd like to do, to your heart's content.

—That way, you won't miss. You'll surely be able to hit the target of the ideal form and solution you seek.

…Things I like, huh.

(For me, that's gotta be PatiBato and sweets—)

(An event just for me, filled to the brim with the things I “like”. A world just for me, that I want to create…)

…Ah.

… I, see…

(Now that I've decided what I want to make, there's just one problem—the sweets dreamland is only referenced in dialogue. "A dreamy world filled with sweets.")

(And if I get just one thing wrong, I might actually burst a blood vessel and die…!)

… …

(That's where Buddharupa comes in. He's fully educated on the original work, so if I incorporate his tastes, I'm sure it'll be as close to ideal as it can get…)

Are you gonna answer? Don't stress over it, I'm only asking because I have complete faith in your tastes.

…Thank, you.

Cream, and sugar, are white. And the mild yellow… of a sponge cake, after mixing in, the eggs and milk… definitely, has, to be included, I think.

…What else?

If it's, dreamy… then… to make it feel, a little unusual… A refreshing, lime colour…

Sounds good. I'm noting this all down on my phone, so say anything that comes to mind.

(I'd never come up with this. Getting Buddharupa's opinion was probably the right choice after all. I knew he'd prioritise the setting of PatiBato in his answer.)

Can you make, something with that…?

We'll see.

(With this, I'll be able to make a sweets dreamland that's as consistent with my ideal as possible.)

(My very own "Sweets Dreamland"!)

Kukuku… AAAHA HA HA!
