Asaba Ai has a secret. Ever since she was little, she's been able to see things other people can't. To her, the lively little people and animals that can talk look just like figurines that have come to life.
The little people tell Asaba Ai that they're all manifestations of supernatural abilities and cursed energy. Only she can see them, and they all like her.
Years later, Asaba Ai returns to Japan as a top-tier pastry chef and opens a dessert shop in Yokohama. When the strongest man in the world, a sweets fanatic, arrives with his cursed-energy manifestation, Asaba Ai finds more and more "human-shaped figurines" and little animals running into her shop.
Amid the Muddied Sorrow: "I-I want rum cake."
Wuwu: "Meow! It's all mine! Go away!"
Black Tofu: "Hmph, a bunch of monkeys, meow."
Little Lord Sukuna: "...You're so noisy!"
Asaba Ai: "..."
One day, at her fans' request, Asaba Ai livestreams herself making a cake. Wuwu, a cool white cat in sunglasses, rolls around in the mixer. A black fox in a Buddhist robe, eyes narrowed in arrogance, takes a big lick of the freshly chilled cheesecake. The Moonlight Beast stumbles headfirst into a bag of flour, while Thou Shalt Not Die, wielding a cleaver, chases No Longer Human around the counter...
Asaba Ai suddenly finds herself famous all over the internet. People leave messages every day asking her to livestream. They want to see her interact with her little ones!
Asaba Ai: "Huh?"
#Ahhh! What adorable little gods does the streamer have at home? Let me have them!#
#Oh my god! That cat named Wuwu is so cuddly and cute! My heart melts when it acts affectionate with the streamer!#
#Aww, that black fox is so cute too! I want one!#
#Did anyone notice that little person who just ran past?! WTF, did the goddess's figurine come to life? So cute! I'm so jealous, sob#
The people watching the livestream who heard the name of their supernatural ability, along with those who knew about their cursed-energy manifestations: "..."
?!
Asaba Ai: "...Aren't I a pastry chef?!"
Reader's Guide:
1. A cute story about adorable creatures. The personalities of the supernatural abilities and cursed-energy manifestations are heavily reimagined.
2. The heroine's ability is more than just being able to see them. It's a seriously powerful golden finger!
3. Not sure who the pairing will be. I'll go with the flow.
3. Some characters may be out of character, but I'll do my best to keep them recognizable. If that's not for you, let's part on good terms.
