"How could it be? Such delicious vegetables, how could I not like them? And they're my favorite."

"Is that so? Since Ryuto likes them, I'll make them for Ryuto often from now on, and I'll only put vegetables in them, nothing else."

"I look forward to it. After all, vegetables are the most delicious thing in the world."

"That's great then."

Sora replied with a smile.

It seems like it wasn't exposed.

Ryuto tried his best to show a happy expression, so as not to let Sora notice, but it seemed to be successful.

Thinking about this, Ryuto once again looked at the bowl of porridge in front of him, with slow-cooked vegetables on the surface.

Although it was cold, it didn't taste cold, although it was simple to the point of surprise, with not even an egg, but inside was the most delicious thing in the world.

Although everyone's taste is different, at least to Sora it was like this, because not knowing about other delicious things, so she thought that vegetables, which everyone looked down on, were the best thing to eat in the world, though it seemed that way on the surface, in reality, it was not so simple.

Most girls like to eat vegetables, but how many actually think vegetables are the best thing in the world? So the reason why Sora likes vegetables is not because of this.

Vegetables are the best thing to eat in the world, though this statement sounds ridiculous and absurd, it is not wrong, and objectively speaking, although we do not know what the best thing to eat in the world is, there are plenty of things tastier than vegetables. This statement itself is not wrong, but even so, it cannot be the reason for the statement "vegetables are the best thing in the world".

If we want to talk about why, that's because, for Sora, vegetables and porridge are her world, not because she can't eat other good things, not because girls like to eat vegetables for such trivial and optional reasons, simply because Sora finds vegetables delicious, yes, that's a sincere liking coming from within, not a result of comparison with other things.

It's not just choosing the tastier one between the two, that's just being the tastier one after all, unable to be the best thing to eat, if it's something tastier, once something tastier appears later, this answer will change along with it, it's merely a compromise.

But Sora is different, just as she said herself, she fell in love after eating it once, this is not a conclusion reached after comparing, but a conclusion reached after trying it, so calling it the tastiest thing is not wrong, because...

The best thing won’t change due to circumstances, that means even if something better comes up later, the best thing won’t change, there is no room for compromise, after all...

The so-called best thing can’t be compared with something better or merely a good thing.

The best thing is a liking that comes from within, a liking that won’t change even if something better appears, not something that superficially and ficklely chooses the better one between two.

The best thing doesn't mean a better thing, even though it may not be better in some aspects compared to the latter, but in a certain sense, it is better than the latter.

This feeling is genuine, and because it's one's favorite thing, one hopes to like it too, to share with others what they consider the best thing, this intention is equally genuine.
