Well, in a way. The game will end for my master permanently, and I will get what was contractually promised. This game shall end for me, but I will then go on to play more games with others.
It was for some time, but then I perfected my tastes. The typical human souls are rather bland. I only play games with the ones who have the most benefit of becoming delicious.
[these two, and gluttony and douman should never have cr ever.]
Why? Are you satisfied with the humans from your world?
[THEY ABSOLUTELY SHOULD NOT AND YET??? HERE THEY ARE???? HAVING CR??
Mahito just nods.]
Must be pretty rare, in that case! I bet you don't get to play fun games often. Hey, what're your tastes, anyway?
[STOP TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE LIKE THEY'RE ICE CREAM. Also stop digging into his novel lore, damn. There's a little, thoughtful pause, and then a shrug.]
It's hard for me to be satisfied with them. Sometimes they do funny things and I like seeing how they'll act or talk or think, but I think that's different, probably.
Anything more delicious than the typical selfish, wanting soul. Plenty of humans beg for wealth, or power, or immortality. They want it immediately without any kind of effort on their part. It is rather pathetic.
[for as put-together and polite as he is, this demon is the biggest asshole in his lack of empathy. guess he and mahito have something in common.]
[THEY'RE JUST TWO EVIL BEINGS VIBING WITH THEIR LACK OF EMPATHY wow, terrible.]
Yeah, about lines up with what I'd expect from the ones in my world! When you crack down to the very core, it all looks the same. [Oh, humans! Truly the same everywhere they go. God bless.
Then, after a curious little beat:]
You know, I've never really wondered what a soul would taste like. Maybe I'll see if I can try one.
[i wish they were not bonding over talking shit about a majority of the humans. terrible.]
Is that even possible for you?
[he sounds kind of... judgemental? not as if he thinks mahito can't, but more in the way he wishes mahito wouldn't go around tasting souls. STOP, HIS SOULS? he's a little pridefully envious.]
[no. he is a demon. he does not share souls. well... not the ones he claims, so maybe he will think about sharing A LITTLE and be less petty. maybe. if mahito tried to taste the current soul he's after, they would definitely have to fight in the denny's parking lot.
it'll be kuroshit season 2..........2!]
...Changing the shape could badly impact the flavor.
It is best not to play with food and waste it, even when making an attempt to cultivate their taste. Do try to care about the ones more beneficial, hm?
I suppose I would make an exception for the mundane, less flavorful ones...
Junk food...? Tsk. As bad as my master. Humans really have the worst tastes.
[ciel.......always eating nasty ass junk food and sweets all the time. THE WORST.]
You will not ever eat and taste anything better than a well-crafted soul. Something full of determination and the struggle to survive, but garnished with turmoil and tragedy.
[DON'T JUST SAY CHIREAL IN THE BRACKETS LIKE IT'S A NORMAL WORD.]
Sometimes they have good taste.
[He hates humans but he is still able to enjoy the things they make that are in good taste okay. Like fine home decor and interior design! And Cast Away.]
That's pretty specific, though... Determination, survivability, turmoil, tragedy and selfishness but a specific kind? That's the type of soul you like?
[it's just a disagreement, not an angry argument. mahito can vouch for the taste of humans, but there just isn't a single human food he can understand being flavorful. not sweets, not curry, not tea, not any of that mess.]
Those are parts of the human condition which make a soul taste better.

Yeah, I figured it was something like that. It hasn't gotten boring for you then? Playing the games you play.

And the taste of the soul is lackluster.

Also wow, there are so many souls in so many worlds, punk. LEARN TO SHARE.]
Don't know! I've never tried it before. I just like looking at them and shaping them.

Anyway, he seems to be giving that some serious consideration for a second... For some fucking reason.]
Mm... I guess so! [...] But if it could make the flavor worse, couldn't it also make the flavor better?
[Their cooking show... It's coming.]
no subject
Distorting the shape of a soul from its original form to make it taste better? Hn.
[their cooking show is truly just the martha stewart and snoop dogg making mashed potatoes episode.]
It is better if they become flavorful through their own misery and drive.
no subject
Anyway wow that really is just them isn't it. HATE THAT BUT IT'S SO TRUE.]
There are so many souls out there, though! You can definitely spare a few to mess around and see if anything actually good-tasting comes out of it.
[Mahito: just kill people to make tater tots and throw them out if they're bad.]

[Is that not just the entire building block that street food culture is build on. They're being culinary geniuses here, okay.]
It'd be pretty fun to try it out a few times, anyway, especially since the less flavorful ones have a higher stock.

Oooh... So in a cooking allegory, that'd be the seasoning?
