Chapter 62: Chapter 54 Dragon Chef?

2nd Sukurach of Juriel Year 1237

Belgrynd's POV

Urgh... how long has it been since I last slept on a soft bed... at the very least, I don't remember doing that in my current life~ man, how I miss a nice bed... wait... what time is it? I looked around and realize... I don't have a clock... but judging by the outside, it is probably still early in the morning. My best bet is that it is around 7 in the morning. Wakey wakey then~ I stretched myself then woke up, feeling refreshed. I am very damn sure of one thing, this is the best sleep I have since years. I don't know how long but I am damn sure it's years.

But that isn't important, I look around and saw a lot of meat and vegetables are placed at the table in my room. Pretty bold I must say, aren't you guys scared that it would go bad? Probably not... I saw the humans' store tomatoes for more than months... probably magic or something, I don't know, I don't want to know, I don't care to know. I got things to cook, then I cook. Though there is a problem...

I don't recognize 90% of these vegetables or fruits... There is a fruit... that looks like a strawberry, feels like a strawberry, smells like a strawberry... but tasted like a tomato... it is like... I literally have to taste every single fruit in order to know what should I do with it... then I had an idea, if I put them into my inventory, maybe it will tell me what it is, which turns out... yes I do know what it is... that's all. Urgh, why isn't there a short description of the fruits! Damn it... seeing the number of fruits there, just tasting a single piece from one of them would already make me full...

Whatever, I will just taste a bit and just make some simple stuff... maybe salads? With the meat they have maybe I could make some bacon along with salads... too bad they don't have eggs, bacon with eggs would be the best. So the current menu would be fried bacon along with a salad, I feel that I should add something filling... maybe a hearty soup? Maybe that would be good, but then it wouldn't fit the bacon... maybe I should just use normal meat then make the soup? Wait... if it is like this... wouldn't it be faster if I just put the veggies and meat and make a stew... yeah let's just make that. I am sure I can make a better one compared to the one I made back at my hideout... let's go~

It seems Petry has quite a lot of cooking instruments, huh, that is good, I start preparing to cook the breakfast for everyone. If I didn't remember wrong, we have around 11 people to feed including me... but I don't know how much does most of them eat... maybe I should just make a lot of them? I mean, if there is excess food, I could just store them within mine or Lucy's inventory... alright~ let's go~

I start using two large pots that Petry had on her ship, pour in some water, and start prepping the vegetables. Starting from dicing the carrots, onions, and potatoes I still had from the humans, then I used some of the vegetables that taste like celery and also leeks... though they don't look visibly the same... the celery looks like blue sugar cane while the leeks look like some overgrown grass that lacks water... but I still used it because it tastes the same.

After cooking for around 30 minutes, I start hearing people waking up. As I look towards the deck, I know that it is Jasai and Neo that is the first. It isn't hard to miss their body features after all. Come to think of it, just the stew itself might not be filling for some. Maybe I should make noodles too, I heard before that it is possible to make eggless noodles, so that is what I'm going to make now~

Petrasha's POV

I don't know why... but I'm waking up pretty early today... whatever... I should hate mornings yet I just woke up so early today... maybe something is wrong with myself... as I woke up, I realized why I woke up... I'm hungry... and the pleasant smell of food isn't helping...  did Lucy woke up already? Cause this is very early if she did...

I changed myself and prepared to head towards the kitchen and see what is being cooked. Maybe I should eat a bit more today? Cause it does smell very good, but I don't want to get too chubby like the old guys... 

" Lucy... what are you cooking..." I said as I reached the room where we normally eat and what I saw shocked me.

" Yo, you're late. You really have to try this. You don't know how long has it been since we last ate such good food!" Christine said. Did I wake up later than Christine? How is this even possible... but damn the smell is so strong now... I might even start drooling...

" Hey, you woke up, wanna get some stew to warm yourself up? If you want I can cook some wheat noodles with it if you don't mind." I hear Bell said that. Wait...

" Did you cook all of these? Like so early in the morning?" I asked her which she nodded and pass a bowl towards Flux.

" Ah damn, missy your cooking sure improved! The ingredients look a tad weird but it sure tastes good!" Flux said as he starts drinking the stew.

" Yep, now what it needs is a bit of alcohol then we are damn done!" Frux added... alcohol so early in the morning?

" From now on I am definitely not going to cook for you guys anymore... but that is a sacrifice I'm willing to make if it allows me to eat this stuff!" Lucy said while she eats the noodles...

" Oh, you better eat fast Petrasha. Jasai said that we are reaching the Kesarrkti continent within a few hours. Hey Lucy, you said that you went there to travel before right? You better take me there! OK?" Bell told me then proceed to chat with Lucy. Damn, how long has it been since we all talked like this... it really is giving me back memories... before when we went camping... it is also Beno who is the one cooking for us as well... he is the best out of the worst... but that doesn't matter, what she cooked now does smell way more delicious than back then... did she improved?

" Hey, Bell, get me some stew too!" I said to her.

" Got it! Want some noodles with it? I'm scared you guys might not be satisfied with the stew so I also prepared noodles just in case!" wow... when did you get so er... caring? You would make a good maid too~ but I better not mention a certain anime here. It would ruin the mood.

" Nah just some stew, don't have time to wait for the noodles anyway," I said and she immediately prepared my portion of stew and gave it to me. 

" Here you go~ now only May, Amy and Kent left. Those three sure can sleep huh, do they always sleep until this late?" Bell asked.

" Nah, it's just you are too early. Normally it is me who is the first who wake up then Petrasha, then it's either Jasai or Neo. Normally Christine would be the last one to wake up, not the others. Ummm! This is definitely better than the stew you cook during our middle school trip!" Lucy said while she is drinking her stew. It seems she has finished her noodles already. Well, time to dig in I guess.

!!!

" Damn... you sure have improved a lot... this totally tasted different from last time..." the taste is very good... not as good as those master chefs back on Earth... not like I know how their food taste since I don't have the money to eat it, but this can definitely be considered as top quality food... this tasted really good... the meat just directly melts... is this really the same meat that Lucy cooked yesterday? Damn...

" Hehehe~ you can praise me more you know~ I am not confident in my cooking for nothing!" Bell said as she puffs her chest out. Well... the small chest she has... at least it's still bigger than mine...

" Pwahhh! More!" Christine yelled.

" That's your fourth bowl already... plus, if I continue to give you, the others probably won't have enough..." Bell said. Wait... FOURTH????

" It is your fourth bowl already??? Oi, just because you are having a break from your idol business, doesn't mean you can eat that much you know! You still need to remember that after we go back you would continue to be an idol!" I said to her... which seems to grab Bell's interests...

" You're an idol? Cool! I wanna see your concert! Your debut must be great right?" Bell keeps bombarding Christine with questions... not that I will pity Christine... not to mention her 'debut' is a total disaster. But I believe it is better that Bell doesn't know about it...

" Her debut? Ha! It is a total disaster! You don't know how many people we have to apologize that day because of her sudden debut!" Lucy said as she finished her stew. Oh well, not my problem to explain.

" Well not everyone starts lucky~ you are still an idol now right? Are you planning to make another concert soon? Could you sing for me a bit? Are you going solo or with a group? What songs do you sing? Wh-" Bell continues to rapidly fire questions... until May and Amy came out together and asks about the food.

" Oi... any chance we can eat? You guys have been talking for a while now..." May said while pointing towards the stew.

" Ah alright alright you two want noodles or just the stew~," Bell asked as she went back to the pot.

I drank a bit of my stew, tasty... I hope this kind of life would continue longer~ Viva la Peace~

" Don't forget that you need to drive the ship too Petrasha~" Bell reminded me... let me enjoy this peace, please...

Whatever~ Let him wait~ I wanna enjoy my stew~ I wanna enjoy such peaceful banter life longer~
