" Have you ever tried bitter melon soda before? "
" What? "
Those are Evolto's first words upon entering the junkyard abode, earning a confused expression from Lin.
Evolto was carrying a few plastic bags with her again today. She would regularly come to the junkyard she had dubbed her "evil lair" to bring food and other necessities to the residents there, being Dr.Magi and Lin.
" I found this on sale at the local supermarket. " Evolto took out a bottle filled with a green fizzy liquid.
The label wrote :
Sparkling Bitter Melon Drink
" ...No. I've never had...bitter melon soda before. " or at least she thought she haven't.
" I bought two of 'em. You can have one. Dr.Magi, I got you this instead. " Evolto handed a dark red bottle to Dr.Magi.
Receiving the bottle from the girl, it turned out to be an energy drink.
" .....How old do you think I am? " He said wryly.
" Come on. Surely you know as well as I do that you need it, especially for the past few days. " Evolto was of course referring to their latest undergoing project.
" How goes it, by the way? " She asked the scientist.
" ...Please wait a moment. " He retreated into the back of the shack.
* Pop! *
Lin popped open the lid of the bitter melon soda.
She then took a sniff near the bottle's mouth.
" ....It smells....funky. " She tried to describe the peculiar scent to the best of her abilities, having decided the word to be the most fitting.
" Maybe it'll taste better than it smells? " Evolto said.
" ... * Gulp * " Lin swallowed her own saliva, her nerves wracking at the thought of putting the concoction into her mouth.
The name bitter melon soda certainly didn't help in easing her worries, if the name is any indication of the taste.
* Pop! * Evolto opened her own bitter melon soda.
" * Sniffs * ....I mean, It doesn't smell bad. " She commented on the drink.
" Welp, here goes nothing. Cheers. " She extended the bottle in front of her.
" C-cheers... " Lin replied.
* Clink * The necks of the bottles collided.
* Gulp * * Gulp *
* Gulp * * Gulp *
" Ahh... "
" Ahh... "
" .... "
" .... "
Both of them looked at the bottle in their hands.
" Damn. That's actually.... " Evolto trailed off.
" ....Quite good. " Lin replied.
The taste itself is not bad inside her mouth, slightly sweet with a bitter aftertaste.
' But that sensation.... ' the tingling sensation it had left on her tongue and throat had been one foreign to her, but surprisingly she doesn't hate it.
" This...bitter melon soda drink is good. " She commented on the beverage.
" ....You know, there's other flavors as well, actually. "
