I reached the room where we were staying, and I served the girls with a massive breakfast. I was even carrying an entire metallic pot with soup which was pimping hot, carried by a massive slime clone that was sliding carefully around the floor.

"We are here! Time to eat." I said, as I found the two girls still sleeping, my scream surprised them and made them both jump out of bed.

"Uwah! Eh? Hmm! That smells nice! I am starving!" said Benladann.

"Ugh! Let me sleep some more, you're always so annoying with- huh? Food?" asked Miranda.

"Yeah, food, stop being so grumpy and sit down with us." I said.

I quickly took out a table and we sat down to devour the meals.

The dumplings were the first things that everyone wanted to eat alongside the sea food soup. The two went well, I saw Benladann dipping the dumplings with meat inside over the soup and eating them gluttonously. She's so happy when she eats, it fills my heart with happiness.

I also took little bites of the grilled fish while eating it with some rice as well, which I had forgot to mention, all of it with the soup and all went pretty well together, so comforting to drink a strong soup in the morning, it really gets you in the mood to work.

The green tea from the Winter Lotus Sect is also superb, even though it is high on demand and very rare after the war, I've gotten a few for myself as I got special privileges as the almighty emperor.

"Hmm! The spider legs are so nice, the white meat inside is better than crab or even lobster…" I sighed.

"Yeah, they're good! You should had made some tempura." Said Benladann.

"Tempura? You don't eat tempura in the morning…" I sighed.

"Hey, who says so? I don't remember hearing that its natural to drink soup in the morning." Said Miranda.

"Its obvious that its natural, soup is packed with all the nutrients you need directly extracted from the meat and bones of the creatures it was made. It is also warm and comforting! It is the perfect meal for the morning, actually, it gets you going in the cold mornings… I loved to drink it back home." I sighed, recalling that in my previous life, my mother always made delicious vegetable and meat soup, or chicken soup, and so on, varied every day… it was comforting and got me always into the mood for going to classes and then the institute.

"Ah, this soup is godly… It reminds me of my mother's…" I sighed as a little tear came out of my left eye.

"Y-You're crying?!" asked Miranda in disbelief.

"Yeah, what's wrong with a man crying? We all have feelings." I said.

"Hahaha, honey gets excited when the food reminds him of his home." Said Benladann with a gentle smile, as she stuffed her checks with grilled fish.

"Indeed! That's the case. It is way too good; I can't believe it. I am such an amazing chef." I said.

"Well, you got something called Cooking Magic or whatever, right? That must had done it." said Miranda.

"Ooh! You're right, I used that without realizing it, is that why all the food was sparkling while cooking it?" I wondered.

"Yeah, I guess this is why the flavors are so strong too! Drake how high is your proficiency with cooking?" asked Miranda.

"Pretty high… I told you can see abilities and techniques that people learn through levels, right? So I could tell my cooking went to max level and then evolved into cooking magic, and I suddenly learned how to merge my cooking with mana and make it even more delicious, like game-like items." I said.

"Haaah! That explains why everything is so tasty honey! I am so happy to have such a talented chef… You can cook me all the yummy stuff!" said Benladann, she was in paradise while eating all she wanted.

"Hahaha… You're complimenting me too much; I am not that good yet." I giggled.

"Not that good?! You're probably the best chef of the region… I wonder if there's a cooking contest somewhere." Said Miranda.

"In a harsh and unforgiving world such as this? I doubt it… And well, the ultimate chef would be someone that could cook the heavens and the earth together and bring the ultimate and most delicious food in the world… God!" I said.

"W-What?" asked Miranda while raising an eyebrow.

"Ah, never mind, just a Toriko reference, old schools will get it." I said.

"But what else could be more advanced than this tasty food, dearie? You make the best. I think you could conquer the heart of everyone with food." Said Benladann.

"Hmm… Maybe I could wield Cooking Magic offensively? I don't even know how, it seems to be a new type of magic, I asked Rakasha, and he said he had no idea such a thing existed. He did said he knew about Smithing Magic and Alchemy Magic, but not about Cooking Magic." I said.

Benladann swallowed whatever she had in her mouth with a relaxed and happy smile, she looked like she was on Zen mode.

"I think it might be something you invented?" she wondered.

"There's no way… I bet other Venerables did it or something." I sighed.

"Anyways, we should eat the rest and get going, aren't you busy with some kid you revived yesterday?" asked Miranda.

"You're more than right." I said, quickly finishing the meal and walking outside the room.

"I'll go out for a bit, do whatever you want I guess." I said, as I walked outside.

I reached Zephyr's room and found him with his grandfather and his father, there was also a girl, who was his future wife? Or something, her name was… Salaphertise and she was rather cute, but had a defiant look into her eyes as if she was trying to intimidate me for some weird reason…
