What Lies Beneath Desire
...
...My... golden chocolate...
...
C-Captain! I can't believe you ate that whole huge thing in one bite...!
Are you all right? You don't feel like your pent-up desires are about to burst out, do you...?!
Captain...?!
It's so good!!
Y-You scared me...! Don't do that!
The moment it touched my tongue, it melted away like the ribbon on a gift box coming undone.
And then that sweetness, intense yet never overwhelming, seeped into every last taste bud...!
Are you really feeling fine?
You're not desperately longing for something you want, are you...?
The instant I bit into the chocolate, a single wish had flashed through my mind, but...
It was hazy and blurred, and I couldn't quite remember what exactly it had been.
All I knew was... it had been an absurdly enormous wish.
Well, as long as you're okay, Captain!
Even so, eating a legendary dessert like that without a second thought was far too reckless!
N-No effect at all...?
That can't be... That's impossible...!
Perhaps the Captain simply kept his desires in check.
That's right! The Captain wasn't affected by your *Snap* either!
Kept his desires in check... you say...?
Do you know how much I went through to get that golden chocolate...
How hard I... worked to complete it...!
And you ate it, and now you tell me it had no effect...?
And after all that, all you have to say is...
Some mind-over-matter nonseeense?!
Th-This sinister aura... Could it be?
My lady! Get behind me with the Captain!
I won't forgive you... I won't forgive you...
I'll never forgive you...!
*Snap*
As the magician snapped her fingers, the ground shook, and her body swelled into a grotesque shape.
Everyone, look out!
You'll pay dearly...!
For devouring my golden chocolate!!
