This chapter is not recommended to people who are overly sympathetic and sensitive , have watched cloudy with a chance of meatballs 2 and food right activists who treat living food as people

"A gingerbread man sits in a gingerbread house.
Is the house made of flesh?
Or is he made of house?
He screams, for he does not know." I quoted as I ate a gingerbread arm filled with vanilla cream
It's interesting to know that the diet of the foody people is actually their constituent ingredients
For example a choco-chip cookie man would eat sugar, flour, butter, eggs and chocolate while a Buffaloaf(a meat loaf in the form of a buffalo) would eat ground beef, onions and drink gravy
"You are what you eat"? No. This is you eat what you are, and apparently being okay with it...but hey in a place where the earth is flat (it really is) logic is on vacation
So to celebrate my victory over Beelzebub the counter force held a party
As per the tribute they used to pay to my old guild they offered me their body parts and some of their young children (Loli4life one of my teammates did this eating food babies ,he was one twisted bastard)
I refused to eat the babies and settled for the body parts
If it sounds horrible let me tell you that death is a joke in here...I mean literally he is a loner and a weirdo who keeps complaining about his work getting more due to overpopulation and the fact that pretty much 20% of the population in the land of dreams are immortal or have some sort of revival item
So losing body parts no big deal they will just grow back after a few days with the proper diet (one of the reason why foody people eat to stay tasty and healthy),as for the eating babies part eh it doesn't matter if they die they will just be reborn in the ocean of beginnings
"Phew I really feel a lot better after losing weight" Fluffy the Doughppelganger happily chirped(obesity is a very common problem in the land of food)
Makes sense he supplied most of our breakfast
We finished our breakfast and started moving forward
"We need to get going to the food court fast" I informed fluffy "Beelzebub has been stopped for now but as long as the other sins exist, he can return in about ten years "
It was a lie; Beelzebub would take like never to respawn in this place unless you go to hell and face him again but fear makes the dog work faster
We reached the (temporary) royal palace of sweets...and here it comes
"King Boggen, he built a fine new hall;
Pastry and piecrust, that was the wall;
The windows were made of black pudding and white,
Roofed with pancakes — you never saw the like."
Ignore chatbot seriously is this some sort of nursery rhyme singing journey...
"This palace also uses giant candy canes for structural members and sheets of candy glass for the windows
Originally this palace was to be made of chocolate but it turned out to be a very bad idea- especially in a hot climate. The chocolate palace quickly melted in the heat of summer and they had to rebuild it "
We followed a peanut brittle path right up to the castle, all around the castle was a moat filled with....one sec (lick) it's sticky honey! 😋
A guard made of cookie poked his head out a window. When he saw us, he lowered the biscuit drawbridge.
They later led us to the great hall with an empty 10-foot tall throne
" Her Sweetest Majesty Cookieso, Empress of chocolate Queen of all that is sweet, Princess of Bonbons, Duchess of Sugariness,Lady of Sugars may she be revived soon "
I kinda expected it she is the biggest and sweetest person in the land of sweets so yeah the flies would eat her first
"Good to know, I am borrowing the takeout carriage to the food court bye"
I really like meetings like this directly and to the point with nobody to create unnecessary arguments
The carriage was a solid steel box with no windows but had a grilled ventilation vent on top and comfortable sponge cake seats
We passed through a landscape of chocolate mountains, hot fudge rivers, and... ice cream trees Oh, and it rained with cotton candy clouds dropping peanuts and strawberries.
We finally went past the way of a giant oven into Cockaigne, the land of raining cheese; pigs that wandered, already roasted, with knives to make carving easy; cooked fish that jumped out of the water; fired chickens that flew in the air towards curry lake which is a watering hole for Foodimals, fed by the Coconut River Rapids, which flowed through the jungles of fruit land providing clean and nutritious water to support a wide variety of Foodimals. Just northeast of Cockaigne lies the Salsa River, an arid landscape North of the Salsa River is a spaghetti swamp with lasagna foot bridges and a vast Mashed Potato prairie complete with gravy watering holes.
Leaving that amazing scenery aside I was having an awkward moment with my siblings
"Ur..." Siegurd said quitely causing urteal to stop eating the seat and look at us
"...if you are going to ask me whether I trapped you in an illusion the answer is no you can trust me"
"But it does not seem that I can trust... anything"
"If I wanted to kill you I would not be using such an obvious illusions...I mean anyone can figure out that this is obviously not supposed to be real... seriously who would make a illusion about talking sweets ?"
"Then what is this ?!"
"I already told you a place where dreams and reality meet"
"..." He stated at me confused
"A place where your dream are real "
"This is real !"
"Yes does that answer all your questions ? "
Siegurd stared at me suspiciously
"This place is nice" Ur said suddenly "we can -"
"Nay,I shall not"
...well that explains why he always looked confused whenever I said no
"Seig y-"
"I shall not,never..." He turned away from us and poured
It seems he has his reason to go back home just as I have
by home I mean earth my real home and ..... hopefully my real family
