The same orange banana-like fruits that I have with me.
An orange-like fruit that almost tastes like carrots.
A tomato!
‘Now, this is a wonderful find!’ A green fruit that looked like an egg had some juices and texture like a tomato.
Just with this, I can think of many dishes that would be perfect for a burger and fries menu.
There was a tough thing that looked like something out of a fairy tale, as it was a glowing golden berry, but it was cocoa!
This was something that I would go after without hesitation, even in this hell.
“Chocolate!”
I shouted as I looked at the familiar brown surface inside of this golden fruit.
This surprised everyone around me as they were working on minor tasks that I gave them.
It was something of a chocolate variation of this world.
I knew if we had cocoa, I can make ice cream.
There was no need for the magic devices here.
I had beasts that could spin those containers and maintain the temperature of the pot at the same time.
Looking at this, the smile on my face widened even more.
Not only they but even I would taste my favorite ice cream after a long time.
So, the main menu was decided.
Fries with a burger of black bread which was made from a wheat-like herb that grew by the lakeside on the western end.
Though I could have made something more interesting for the main menu, this was perfect, easy, and could be eaten by anyone.
It would be an outstanding thing but, there were many other things I had to prepare here.
The main menu wasn’t the only thing.
I had to create many things for different beasts and many of them preferred particular flavors, textures, and types.
There was a lot of work to do here, and I was the head chef of this kitchen.
‘Reminds me of those old days…’
I sighed, as there was no time to remember that past.
“Ok, everyone! Let’s make something that will blow everyone’s minds!”
-wowowowowo.
With the cheers of different beasts, I started my perfect cooking plane.
There was a lot of work, and it would be midnight when we finish these things.
‘So much work, so much excitement.’
***
Looking at the hectic kitchen that was set very quickly on Eon’s wish to cook for everyone, I sighed.
I didn’t know there would be a day I would have a real friend.
A friend who was my friend because he wanted to, not because of that weird ability that I had.
All my life, I had helped the creatures of nature, punished those who defied laws and were a threat to it, and in that process, created a big family.
I was just a helper in this nature, so I couldn’t do much aside from help.
But, to those I helped, it was something more than just help.
They managed to escape from the great fears, sorrow, grief, and pain and even managed to come back from critical conditions.
They praised me as some master, but deep down, I was like a mother to them.
‘A mother that’s too young to be right every time.’
Even after hundreds of years, I wasn’t a perfect leader.
But… I was glad to be an imperfect mother.
A good mother to all those hundreds of beasts that unconditionally followed me just because I did my job.
Eon was the first and only being that could resist my ability.
I was shocked for a moment, but then… I was overjoyed.
Finally, finally, I had met someone that might be my friend.
Not because of the ability I was born with, but because he wanted to be friends with me.
He was my savior that saved not only my life but also the lives of many that lived in these areas with me.
It was difficult for him, but he stayed with us.
He made me his friend, his first real friend.
He told me about himself, and I was happy to tell him about my insignificant life.
He was already an amazing person to have the <Soul Essence> with him when we needed it.
My illness was an unnatural occurrence and something that shouldn’t have happened to me in the first place, but… it did.
If not for Eon, I might have passed away, and… the consequences might have been dire.
But he was there, and it saved me.
I knew I was special… even among other helpers.
I was special, and I knew I can do good things with my ability.
There was nothing more joyous for me than helping someone, but the one who helped me… was the only one I can’t help.
Not this time, in this matter at least.
He was a great person, and I loved how he knew how I liked to be rubbed.
‘Ah~. That was a good job. He knew how to use those small fingers very well.’
I stopped hugging my tail and jumped down from the table.
Eon was going to make dinner for all of us and from his vivid stories, I knew he was… exceptional.
Those things that he called icm zream and verter, sounded mouth-watering last night.
And they were the very reason I dreamed weird things.
Now, according to him, he was going to make those very things. 𝒷𝒹𝓸𝓿𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝓶
A fabulous aroma blasted from forward as soon as the lid of the big pot opened.
A river of water materialized in my mouth, but I barely managed to control that stupid thing.
I didn’t need to eat anything but I can eat anything if I wanted to.
I had tried everything made by my family, and it was a diverse range of food.
From raw to cooked, I had eaten many things but, nothing in this forest could give such a fabulous smell.
And… it was still not finished.
He was still preparing, making, and commanding everyone who followed him perfectly.
His way of instructing everyone was like Gaar’s, but he was way more skilled in it than Gaar.
It was so natural that it seemed like he had a significant amount of experience in it.
Simple commands, easy instructions that Gaar could translate easily, and on top of all, those small laughing moments.
It was like they knew him for a long time and had worked with him like that many times already.
Something that I could only do thanks to my ability, he was doing without any effort at all.
“Truly special~.”
Cheering his great skills with a bright smile on my face, I walked towards the other side to check the special thing.
Ailji and Perry were working together with a pot of their own size.
In this pot, there was a large amount of milk that they gathered from (Yellow cows).
They lived in large numbers, and their milk was something that some beasts from my family loved.
They would trade some herbs and grass with them in exchange for milk.
Ailji had summoned his wind spirits and Perry was using his water skill to produce icy cold water.
These two fools were exceptionally focused on their work, not even bothering with their eternal petty dispute.
It was a sight to behold for a mother like me, and it made me want to thank Eon.
Their focus was amazing and the teamwork they showed was also amazing.
The shouts from Gaar that carried Eon’s instructions were also precise as if he knew when they would be done.
The sweet but blended smell coming from the big pot was different from the other side, but… it was different.
They moved the big pot with some different small pots that already contained different things in them.
Though it was fun to watch, it was confusing, and I didn’t understand much about this.
So… I just went back to take a nap.
They would be done shortly… and I can’t wait to taste those amazing, fancy things~!
