CHAPTER 41: LOVE POISON

CHAPTER 41: LOVE POISON

SERENA MAIZONO

2 YEARS AGO

I tried to stop Z from doing her evil plans. Believe me, I tried. But Z insisted on doing it anyway. She planned to have her dragon knight Alphonse drink the love potion/perfume I had by mixing droplets of it on her home-baked cheesecakes. When it was already lunchtime, Z went to the dragon knight training camp to give his knight his meal.

Now they are having a small private picnic in the park near the training camp. Z and Sir Alphonse are sitting side by side on the bench, making them look like a lovey-dovey couple. Since day one, I knew Z have that kind of level of admiration for Alphonse. I shouldn’t be surprised that Z made a love potion since my gut feeling about her using it to her knight would happen anyway regardless if we should test the potion or not.

I’m watching them at a distance to see if the bottle really contains the love potion.

Since Alphonse is really hungry and exhausted, he immediately ate the first cheesecake without a thought. But when he started to chew it slowly, his face became a little bit blue. Not enduring the lavender flavor mixed in the cheesecake, Alphonse spit it outrightly towards the trash can which can be found at the back of their bench.

“Pweh! The hell is this mushy texture!” Alphonse cried. “This cheesecake tastes like baby crap! I used to have diapers with better flavor!”

“Master, please ignore the flavor.” Z curled her ash-gray hair in an adorable manner as she winked to her knight. “Soooo, what do you think about me right now?”

“You’re a shit cook,” Alphonse said coldly. “This is why I never let you go all on your way to the kitchen. It’s all fucking better if I do all the fucking cooking, you dimwit.”

“What!?” Z exclaimed not in despair, but in disappointment. “H-Hey, don’t you feel like you’re in love with me right now!?”

“Of course not. Actually, get out of here!” Alphonse indiscriminately fired a kick towards Z’s butt that made her fall to the ground. “A garbage bin can do a lot better than you.”

Suddenly, Alphonse grabbed the garbage bin beside the bench, put it to sit on Z’s supposed seat, and he hugged it like a koala. With such a turn of events, Z could only hang her jaw in surprise and sadness.

“Oh, garbage can! You really fucking turn me on! Tell me, why wouldn’t we have a bed moment right now? I’ll reserve a private tent just for you.” Alphonse rubbed his cheeks on the black bin that is full of trash. Then, he kissed it, leaving his saliva on the mouth of the said trash can.

“Wha… Wha… Why is it working on the trash can and not on me!?” Z cried out loud.

Seeing that this is a state of emergency, I approached Z and helped her stand up. I even made the effort to wipe the dust away from Z’s skirt as if she’s my own child.

“Uhm, Z?” I worriedly asked. “Sir Alphonse saw the trash can first the moment he spit out the food. He should have fallen in love with the first thing he sees after ingesting the poison... I mean potion.”

“I have no idea that it can work on non-living things!” Z bowed in despair and scratched her head vigorously. Then, he looked at the real love potion that was on my hand the whole time.

“Yeah, and it didn’t even work on Senpai.” I tiredly made a smile. “Maybe this love potion is really not effective.”

“Are you blind!?” Z cried like mad. “You can see that it’s very well effective! Now my dragon knight is being lovey-dovey with a freaking trash can! I think we should dispose of this thing early!”
