Overlord: The Multiverse Chapter 139: Poisonous cake

Rias nodded. "I have no doubt you will. Contracts are an important part of our duties, and they help us grow stronger. Issey and Akeno will guide you through the process."

Asia nodded, her expression a mix of nerves and determination. "Yes, I'll do my best."

Then Rias turned to , her expression becoming more serious. "And by the way, Alex, Sona has asked you to visit her."

I raised an eyebrow. "Sona? Did she ntion why?"

Rias shook her head. "No, she just said it was important. You should head over to see her as soon as possible."

I nodded, feeling a flicker of curiosity. "Alright, I'll go see what she needs. In the anti, Issey and Akeno, take good care of Asia. Make sure she feels comfortable with the contract process."

Akeno smiled and gave a playful salute. "Don't worry, Alex. We'll make sure Asia gets the best guidance."

Issey nodded. "We'll take good care of her."

With that, I left the clubroom and made my way to Sona's office. The hallways of the academy were bustling with students, while I on my way, Death suddenly ask .

"Dear, how is your poison resistance?"

"That's an unusual question, my love," I replied, keeping my voice low to avoid attracting attention. "Why do you ask?"

Death's voice in my mind had a playful yet ominous tone. "Because you are going to die soon."

"Is that so? Hmm," I mused, my tone casual despite the gravity of her words. "Let see. My poison resistance is normal per Yggdrasil standards. If you want, I can use an artifact to make immune to poison for a day."

Death chuckled softly. "Always so confident, aren't you? I suppose that's one of the reasons I love you."

"Of course," I replied with a smirk, "but is there a particular reason for the concern?"

"You'll find out soon enough," she responded cryptically. "Just be prepared."

The reason why I was not afraid to is simple I am husband of Death, So If I die I will just go to Death for so quality ti.

I continued towards Sona's office. I knocked on the door, and her composed voice called in.

"Co in."

Stepping inside, I saw Sona seated at her desk, engrossed in paperwork. She looked up and nodded as I approached.

"Alex, thank you for coming," she said, motioning for to take a seat.

"What's this about, Sona?" I asked, sitting down.

Hearing my question, Sona crossed her arms like mastermind villain making a deal with the naive protagonist.

"Rias told you are helping her to make her peerage stronger," Sona said, her tone asured and calculating.

"...Yes," I replied after a brief pause. "You were there when Rias asked to help her, and you also asked to help train your peerage. So, asking this now seems a bit strange."

Sona's eyes narrowed slightly, her lips curling into a faint smile. "Indeed, I was. That's why I thought I should give you sothing in return."

She got up from her seat and walked over to a small cabinet. A mont later, she returned with a beautifully decorated cake. "Consider this a token of appreciation for your efforts," she said, placing the cake on the table in front of .

Suddenly, I felt as if an ominous background song had started playing in my mind.

That cake... It's dangerous.

"Sona, this cake..."

"I made it," she said proudly. "Of course, so of it burned, but I made it work."

This is probably what Death was warning about.

From what I rembered, Sona didn't know how to cook. I glanced at the cake, then back at Sona, who was beaming with pride.

I couldn't bring myself to refuse her gesture, but at the sa ti, I needed to tread carefully.

"That's impressive, Sona," I said, forcing a smile. "It looks great."

"Go ahead, try it," she urged, her eyes shining with anticipation.

With a sense of foreboding, I cut a small piece and brought it to my mouth. As soon as it touched my tongue:

"Dear, you are here," Death appeared before .

"Did I just get knocked out from a piece of cake?" I asked, incredulous.

She chuckled softly. "Oh, by the way, you have to eat the whole cake if you love her." she said, as I blinked back into consciousness.

Was I knocked out just from eating a small piece? I had literally just t Death again.

Sona was looking at with concern. "Are you okay, Alex? You seed to zone out for a mont."

I quickly composed myself. "I'm fine, Sona. Just... savoring the taste." I forced a grin.

"How is it? Is it to your liking? I added extra sugar in it," Sona asked, her eyes hopeful.

"It's the best," I replied, forcing enthusiasm into my voice. "You can really taste the... effort."

Sona bead at the complint, her eyes shining with pride. "I'm so glad you like it! It took a while to get it just right."

"And actually, I consider myself an expert in making cakes because my sister—Serafall—told to not give my cake to anyone as they could beco addicted to the taste," she said with pride.

Thank you, Serafall, for saving many innocent lives, I thought to myself.

"Well, you certainly have a unique talent," I replied, trying to keep my tone light. "I feel honored to have tasted it."

Sona looked genuinely touched by my words. "Thank you, Alex. That ans a lot coming from you."

"Actually, Sona, have you considered mastering the ways of poisons?"

She blinked, confusion crossing her face. "No, why?"

"Nothing," I said, trying to hide a smirk. "I just feel like you could beco a world-famous poison maker with your skill."
