#9

“Hehe, grow big and strong, my food sources.”

After finishing the harvest, I poured water generously over the NEW seeds I had just planted.

Making my previous worries seem pointless, thanks to the farmer skill buff, this was already my third harvest.

So now I don’t have to worry about starving anymore.

It’s been about a month since I was transported into this game world, and I was adapting incredibly well—no, too well—to life here.

“…Time really flies.”

After testing various things during this time, I discovered that Aqua Mystica had several functions…

Not only could it tame magical beasts, but I could also use the abilities of magical beasts whose mana I had absorbed.

Also, magical beasts that naturally came to follow me like Ruby and Golem were marked as “tamed,” but when I neutralized their power using Aqua Mystica’s skill like with the King Slime, they were marked as “trained.”

I thought I’d walk the path of an overpowered character with this legendary weapon, but I had one troublesome problem.

Namely, to get water, I had to personally fetch it from the “Endless Spring” near the forest.

Sigh… Having to go back and forth such a long distance every time is really too inefficient.

While pondering various solutions, I suddenly had this thought.

‘If it can absorb mana, can’t it absorb water too?’

Having lost sleep every night due to muscle pain, I immediately conducted an experiment.

“Atica, absorb the water!”

Shwaaaap-

Aqua Mystica. I decided to call it Atica for short. Why? Because it’s too long.

“How is this possible…! This spring water has never dried up even once until now…! Amazing, Lady Zoe!”

“That crazy human is absorbing all the spring water!”

Atica stopped working completely around the time the never-drying spring water revealed its bottom. Because of this, I had to endure sharp glares from the magical beasts that had made their homes around the spring for a while.

Good thing the spring refilled itself. I almost became an ecosystem destroyer.

Trickle trickle trickle-

“All done!”

After continuously watering from the first row to the last row of the vegetable garden, sprouts had already poked their heads out in the first row, sparkling under the midday sunlight.

“Kyuu!”

“Ruby…”

Sigh, she just got washed not too long ago…

I frowned as I watched Ruby rubbing her entire body against the dirt ground.

“Kyuung!”

…Oh, you’re laughing? You’re hopeless.

“Ruby, let’s take a bath.”

“Kyuuuuu!”

“Hey, where are you running off to!”

I caught Ruby, who was trying to escape with a pale face, confined her in the bathroom, and scrubbed off all the accumulated grime. Until no more black dirty water came out—really thoroughly.

“Sniff sniff. Ah, our Ruby smells so nice.”

“Kiiing…”

When I dissolved fragrant oil in the water, a sweet lavender scent wafted from Ruby’s body.

Right now’s the perfect time!

I immediately buried my nose in Ruby’s body and sniffed away.

Then Ruby pushed my face away with her fluffy paws.

“Kyu!”

Oh my, she’s sulking, she’s sulking.

But I have a magic spell that can reverse this situation in one go.

“Ruby~ Shall we have some snacks, snacks?”

“Kyuuu!”

When I cast the magic spell, Ruby’s face brightened up.

Heh. As expected, whether it’s animals or magical beasts, nothing beats snacks.

“Hmm… How about apple pie today?”

At first I was selective about Ruby’s food, mistaking her for a puppy, but Ruby was an omnivorous magical beast.

So we often share the snacks I make together.

“Kyuuu!”

“Great, Ruby. Then could you light the hearth for me?”

“Kyu!”

Swoosh! Crackle crackle-

Ruby’s flame hit the hearth and blazed up to just the right size.

Good, let’s start with the filling. First, slice the apples thinly…

“Ta-da, apple pie complete!”

After enduring the waiting time, a golden apple pie with a glossy sheen was finally completed.

When I cut a slice of the warm apple pie with white steam rising from it and tasted it, the sweet apples and savory crust blended perfectly in my mouth.

Jesus Christ, I was definitely born to eat this.

Just then, a System Message flashed.

[【System】 Congratulations! Your title has leveled up from ‘Peep Peep! Baby Chick Chef’ to ‘Kitchen Assistant Chef’.]

-New cooking skills are unlocked.

-Culinary Perfection is MSG: A skill that adds magical seasoning to maximize the taste of food.

-Mother’s Touch: A skill that gives cooked food the effect of restoring health and mana.

-Chef’s Culinary Eye: A skill that accurately judges the condition and quality of ingredients and tells you which cooking method is suitable.

“…These are incredible skills, aren’t they?”

I read the descriptions of the unlocked skills while glancing down at the completed apple pie.

It already tastes Michelin-star level delicious, but a skill that maximizes the taste of food…?

That would definitely be heavenly taste.

“Skill, Culinary Perfection is MSG!”

When I cast the skill, a pink grinder engraved with magic circles appeared. The top part of the circular grinder had a handle studded with small gems, and the bottom part was made of transparent crystal.

“…It’s unnecessarily pretty. Hmm, do I turn this?”

Whirrrr-

When I grabbed the grinder’s handle and turned it vigorously, sparkling powder magically sprinkled over the apple pie.

Riding this momentum, I also cast the ‘Mother’s Touch’ skill.

The Mother’s Touch skill was intuitive, just like its name.

Literally, a giant hand kneaded the apple pie vigorously, adding the mother’s touch.

The apple pie’s sloppy shape became perfect, but for some reason it seemed like it would taste salty…

“…Wow, insane.”

My soul briefly visited heaven after tasting the apple pie with added skills.

So I decided to share this taste with my magical beast friends in the forest.

This was an incredibly strong taste that absolutely had to be shared.

“Ruby, let’s go have snacks with our friends!”

Like a big spender, I stuffed the large quantity of apple pies I had multiplied into a big wooden basket and headed to the forest.

* * *

“Golem! I’m here.”

“Lady Yeeun? What brings you here?”

“Ho, so you’re the famous Lady Yeeun I’ve heard so much about? Nice to meet you.”

When I arrived at Golem’s house, someone sitting at the round dining table made of logs greeted me. I turned my gaze toward where the greeting came from.

“…It’s white cotton candy.”

“Cotton candy? What’s that?”

“Ah, Lady Yeeun. This is the great magical beast, Lord Somphara.”

At Golem’s words, I stared intently at Somphara.

Somphara had a round, small body like white cotton candy with short arms and legs, two antennae on his head, and small, cute wings on his back, making him look so adorable that you’d believe he was a fairy.

“…This is also a magical beast? And a ‘great’ magical beast at that?”

Great magical beasts are said to possess high intellectual abilities because they are beings that have lived for long ages and evolved spiritually. So when I think of great magical beasts, I imagined something more… how should I put it, more dignified.

“Now, that question is quite rude, Lady Yeeun!”

Somphara seemed offended by my words and threw a tantrum, tapping the table with her tiny hands.

…And why does she speak in such a refined manner?

Although I had decided not to judge by appearances, this was truly beyond my control.

“…Really, really a demon? Not a fairy?”

“Miss Yeeun! Apologize immediately! Though I may have fairy-like lovely features, I am the head of the Somfara Clan!”

“Haha. That’s right, Miss Yeeun. Somphara is a craftsman with exceptional skills even among the Somfara Clan. Every item made by the Somfara Clan is outstanding.”

“S-sorry, Somphara. I didn’t realize.”

“Well, fine. As an intellectually superior being, I should be understanding.”

…Then am I an inferior being? This little brat.

I heard that demons consider humans with short lifespans to be inferior beings.

I heard from Golem that humans can’t understand demon language, but demons can understand human language. Well, it’s not the language itself but something like reading natural energy? Wavelengths? I don’t really understand it.

…Hmm, maybe I am an inferior being.

As an inferior being, I asked as gently as possible to humor the superior being Somphara.

“But, a craftsman? What specifically do you make?”

“Hmm, curious? Then Miss Yeeun, would you come closer for a moment?”
