Tall Dare, Hot Fire, Zero Milk

Franky Topaz

Truth or dare, city-boy. I dare you to eat this—one bite, no water.

Kazuma

You're on. I've eaten convenience-store curry scarier than that pepper.

Kazuma

See? Easy. Tastes like— lava?!

Megumin

Fascinating. Human combustion without explosion magic.

Kazuma

Water… or resurrection spell… either works…

Franky Topaz

Tall-girl tip: milk beats water. Kitchen's that way, short stuff.

Kazuma

This blue one's milk, right?

Megumin

Touch it and I'll make you the first human fireworks display.

Megumin

That's concentrated explosion mana. One sip and your stomach will achieve escape velocity.

Kazuma

But milk—

Megumin

Is less explosive than this.

Franky Topaz

She's not bluffing, Kazuma. That stuff once vaporized a cactus.

Kazuma

Why do you even have that?!

Franky Topaz

Tall-girl tip: always keep emergency explosives.

Megumin

Your heartbeat is... quite fast. Is it the pepper or—

Kazuma

The pepper! Definitely the pepper! My tongue feels like it's been cursed by a demon king!

Franky Topaz

Catch! It's just almond milk, but—

Kazuma

Why was this hiding behind the microwave?!

Franky Topaz

Tall-girl tip: never make things too easy to reach.

Megumin

Almond milk doesn't neutralize capsaicin. You're drinking plant juice while burning alive.

Kazuma

You— you knew?!

Megumin

I wanted to see if you'd trust the explosion expert.
