Chapter 9: 9

The whole bar cheered as the executive members of the Loki Familia walked into the restaurant and I could almost feel Bells blood temperature rising as he blushed from his neck to the tips of his ears and although he buried his face into the food I could tell he wasn't letting a single movement of there's pass by without notice.

Sadly I couldn't really see them as we were in a booth and they were behind me so I just started shoveling the food into my mouth and then paused. 'Wait if Bell decides to run off if I just leave money behind we wont get in trouble with the mutated dwarf lady.'

As Bell was mindlessly stuck staring at Ais Wallenstein, Syr came by to reset him by patting his shoulder and Bell awoke from his day dreams and turned to her. "The Loki Familia is one of our best customers. I think it's because Loki really seems to enjoy the drinks we have in stock." Syr giggled as she leaned into the booths wall

I could hear the Loki Familia talking about there expedition and it seemed even though they lost a couple of people they seemed to still be in good cheer but then Bete Loga the dickhead werewolf couldn't keep his drunk mouth shut. "Hey Ais remember that little tomato that ran out of the dungeon!" He shouted making Bell freeze and he lost his prior blush and turned pale with embarrassment as Bete continued to lambast Bell unknowingly.

"Tell me Ais would you Hic. Accept the confession of a loser like that or would you like a man like me!" He staggered to his feet and after mounting the round table tried to leer over at Ais but her taciturn expression betrayed none of her thoughts.

Even though Riveria tried to make Bete shut up and stop drinking the werewolf continued yelling in his drunken stupor putting Bell down and as I watched Bell bury his face in his food I knew trying to help him now would just attract Bete's attention even with him being drunk.

Thud! Bell stood up from the booth and sprinted out of the restaurant. Dammit like I thought he left me with the bill...

"Don't worry Syr I got the bill. I think?" I muttered worried about the price and after squaring away the exorbitantly priced meal I started to leave the restaurant and ready to return back to Hestia because I knew Bell was going to be fine tonight. He just needed to work out his frustrations and cool off.

"Hey you... You're a member of the tomato's Familia aren't you I could see you sitting together, why you with someone so weak huh?" Bete staggered over to me and got in my face as he was questioning me.

Holy shit his breath literally is like wet dog... wait I got an idea. Seeing the Loki Familia looking pretty embarrassed by there fellows reaction I turned to there goddess. "Loki is this the behavior that represents you're Familia." I questioned with a acidic smile and the executives Gareth Finn and Riveria frowned as they caught my unspoken 'Are they all so undisciplined?"

Seeing Loki just laugh at my question already several cups deep into her drunken stupor Finn sighed and twerked his head at Gareth who groaned and got up and pulled Bete way from me with one hand and I could see the strength the two of them hand because Bete obviously didnt want to move with the way his boots were cutting into the floor as he was pulled along but Gareth didnt look to be struggling as he pulled away the werewolf.

Finn on the other and had a placid smile as he took a drink and slammed it on the table silencing the bar "Are you challenging the Loki Familia?" The room went dead silent at the shock that one of the top Familia's was so flagrantly bullying a weak one.

I had them hooked. "Yes I am." Knowing the goddess was still conscious and wouldn't let me screw over her Familia in this I made sure to speak only the truth. "I have skills that allow me to make by far the best food you will ever taste therefor I challenge him in a test of manliness. He will eat one of my dishes without crying and if I win he will apologize to Bell and if I lose I will cook the Loki Familia a feast at your own mansion for free at a time of your choice."

The whole Familia seemed intrigued because they likely knew I was at best a level two because most level threes and up were already known to them. "Fine lets do it! Like I would cry about food anyway!" Bete shouted.

Finn just rubbed his face and I noticed him pinching his thumb in contemplation before he chuckled and turned to Mia the owner of this restaurant in question. "Mia would you mind if he borrowed some space in the kitchen. I am willing to compensate for any ingredients he uses and the hassle."

"Bah that's fine but if he breaks anything I will take it out of your hide shorty. Before I get to him...."

Ok so no breaking anything at all or I am a dead man.

"Syr can watch me to make sure I don't cheat or do anything... Underhanded." We all knew I was meaning so I wouldn't poison him or something along those lines so I offered a third party to watch over not to mention I had a strong feeling Freya already knew of my fusion abilities with her perverted mirror allowing her to view the city.

They waved me on so I walked into the back of the restaurant and as I started to grab ingredient's. Syr asked me what I was planning on making "I plan on using a somewhat modified home recipe from where I am from but the trick is my magic I plan on using along side it.

Thank god the was a magic stove already in here that worked almost like a gas stove that sent flames up at the burner. I hate electric stoves they make cooking so much more difficult.

I took several sets of the ingredients and called "fuse" making the Chicken, Peppers, Garlic, Oil, and several other ingredients higher quality and the kicker was I fused a couple magic stones into the half dozen larger peppers making them literally magic spicy peppers... Man there was literally glowing red veins going through the green peppers I don't envy the person who bites into this.

Syr who was beside me sharply inhaled at seeing the plainly magic food and then I fused another couple magic stones into a bowl of cream cheese and a small block of normal cheese I was going to grate to make sure people couldn't say the tears was only from the heat and then I started merging several chicken breasts and afterwards slathered them with some honey and a couple herbs I could recognize and threw them in the wok to cook with several herbs.

After slicing open the peppers which there juice's violently bubbled and frothed out as they were cut on the cutting board like a soda being opened after being shook. I stuffed the peppers with the chicken after dicing them up, then a handful cheese, and only I put a small amount of the cream cheese on the inside and left the rest for them to dip at there leisure.

"Is that going to be ok to eat..." Syr asked standing by the door as despite how great the smell was frankly I screwed up cooking the peppers again in the oven after stuffing them and the juices were turned into smoke making us both already red eyed at the spice level.

"Yeah it's going to be just fine..." He is a level five. He'll live, I hope...

For a cheeky last step I splashed a bit of her wine on the peppers and lit them on fire and the alcohol was burning a light blue seemingly feeding on the magic in the peppers and didnt look to be already dying out as I gently placed the plate in front of the now sober werewolf who coughed at the spice level that hit his enhanced senses.

Seeing Loki looking at the well decorated meal I explained. "This is a dish I grew up eating a lot back home. Its a stuffed pepper with chicken, cheese, and several other ingredients now I must warn you this is going to be rather spicy and even with this challenge I highly recommend you drink some milk with this and use that cream cheese side to dip the food in to weaken it."

As I said that it looked like some of the flames made the glowing veins pop and then out of the blue flames a small red human skull formed out of the flames and seemed to roar at Bete in silence before fading making the whole restaurant gulp in fear...

All but one of the Loki people turned to me as if to say "We aren't this stupid..."

However the only person lacking in sense was the werewolf in question shakily taking a fork and knife to cut off a piece and after hesitating for a moment dipped it in the cream cheese and then he did it he ate it.

He exhaled hard and smoke came through his nose as he coughed and started to shake but as a man I couldn't deny his strength as he swallowed it but his face was turning bright red and sweat was already started to bead his forehead and cheeks within the minute of him putting the food in his mouth.

He put down his utensils after his bite and shakily took a drink and I asked "So we can all tell it is very spicy but the question is. How does it taste?"

Bete seemed to be in his own world and no longer even drunk as he whispered and with the silence of the restaurant watching him, his voice carried to all sides. "Its delicious." And then the mad lad kept eating as the Loki Familia watched in shock as the spice level finally conquered him and a few salty tears escaped his eyes at the pain.

"Ok so I assume I win then Finn?" I asked and Finn just chuckled again at seeing peoples reaction at the werewolf almost gently eating his second pepper like it was going to snap and eat his face or run away.

"Fine you win he will go in a couple days as we have just got done with our expedition and apologize, we just got done with our expedition though I hope you don't mind one of these days cooking for us just.... Take down the spice level a bit."

As I made sure I had anything I called out to them as I was leaving "There's still four more peppers on his plate just pull off the peppers if you want to avoid the spice."

"Hey stop it Gareth! Dammit you flat chested amazon make him cook you you're own food!" I heard Bete roaring as I exited the Hostess of Fertility and started on my way back home.

I should start cooking own meals seeing Bete's reaction but that will have to be later because all those ingredients I fused added up quickly to over twenty thousand Valis probably which is far out of our price range at the moment at least till me and Bell reach past the tenth floor and start bringing in more money which if by the rate we are going will only take another a week or so.

After arriving back home I saw Hestia was already asleep and if the smell was any indication was probably rather drunk as well so I took off my outer clothes and just climbed into bed with her and took her into my arms.
