As for the coffee samples, giving one to Shia-san was already a given. Assuming I wouldn't be receiving any extras from Kuro, I planned to distribute them to about three more people.
I didn't intend to simply go down the list Alice gave me in order, though. There were some names near the top whom I felt I shouldn't give a sample to.
Zwei-san was a perfect example. Her name was high on the list, so she clearly liked coffee quite a bit. The image of her as a coffee lover fit her perfectly; she had the aura of a capable career woman, a look that suited a cup of coffee. While her true personality was kind and earnest, she looked the part of a coffee drinker more than almost anyone else I knew.
But she was part of Kuro’s family. Kuro obviously knew she liked coffee, so there was no way she hadn’t given her a sample already. Funf-san and Eva were also on the list, but I assumed they had received theirs directly from the source as well. It was safe to exclude all of Kuro's family members.
On the other hand, I wanted to proactively offer samples to those who almost certainly hadn't received one from her yet. Amel-san was a definite yes. It made sense that she would like coffee... though I suspected she liked it more for the aesthetic than the flavor. I had a feeling she probably loaded hers with sugar.
Since I had already promised to visit her home soon, the timing was perfect. With Amel-san confirmed, that left two more.
Flare-san’s name was also near the top; I could definitely see her as a coffee drinker. None of the Seven Princesses were on the list, however, so it seemed they all preferred black tea.
Rasal-san’s name appeared among the Death King’s subordinates, but it was so far down that I figured she only drank it if there were no other options. Since Isis-san apparently disliked coffee, Rasal-san likely had more opportunities to drink black tea anyway.
Megiddo-san and Bacchus-san were also near the bottom, but their names came with a note: "These guys prefer alcohol." Yeah, that sounded about right.
A few of the Ten Demons were listed, but not very high up. On the other hand, every member of the Four Great Magic Dragons except for Grandireas-san was on the list, and they were all near the top.
Hmm, I figured I would give some to Flare-san and ask her to share with the other dragons. Since she was higher on the list than Eingana-san or Fafnir-san, she was the best choice.
That made two... just one more. Hmm... Ah, this person seemed like a good pick.
Having selected the three people I wanted to visit after Shia-san, I sent out Hummingbirds to each of them to check their schedules.
Serious-senpai: "...It doesn't look like any of these will lead to a Sugar Development... Good! Wait, no, I'm curious about that last person. Who is it? It's probably not one of his lovers. Kuro is the producer, Shiro drinks black tea, Lilia and Sieg also drink black tea, and Isis drinks black tea too. Alice made the list, Fie drinks herb tea, Illness drinks black tea or wine, and Anima... I'm not sure, is she a possibility? As for Fate, I have no idea; she doesn't seem to have any particular preference..."
