I got a new Skill, and it is indeed Cooking! I swiftly looked into it as I was cutting a lot of veggies to make some salad, all while baking a delicious and fluffy bread I just made from flour, water, some butter, and salt. It was simple but it would go nice with the stew I was preparing. In the side, I also made myself some skewered meat, taking several metallic skewers and putting them with chopped meat from the three monsters, all while I snacked in the meat myself.

There was the meat of the parasite's bodies too, which I decided to make into some chop suey with rice, I cut them down into slices after washing them down and then fried them with chopped green onions, cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, and this special sauce the elves had made out of fermented seeds which was pretty much soy, adding vinegar and also chopped mushrooms.

White rice was the best to accompany it, but I spiced things up by adding some small veggies to the rice so it can have a more veggie taste to it. When things were done, I quickly served the food over a large table that I also brought with my Item Box, everyone was left speechless.

"T-This is gorgeous!" Said Elfina with eyes wide open. "T-The stew is so tasty, the meat is so soft too, and has a delicious taste as well! I-Is this really monster meat?!" Asked Elfina in shock.

"T-This "chop suey" as you call it… It is incredible, I had never tasted this kind of meat before… I-Is this really the parasite?" Wondered Fiere. "It won't do anything bad to my belly?"

"Don't worry, it tastes like squid, I purified it so it doesn't have anything bad to it, enjoy the food and don't think where it came from." I laughed, while opening my jaws and stuffing them with the various sticks of skewered meat with spices I had prepared. Everyone was stuffing their mouths, even Luminous as he opened his eyes wide open, realizing that eating cooked food wasn't so bad.

"So warm! So tasty…! T-This texture! I never thought that potatoes and carrots could become this soft and creamy when boiled! N-Not only that, but the meat is also soft as well, so tasty and slightly oily too, making it even better! And this broth… it has such a strong aroma and taste, it keeps lingering in my mouth, even with a slight tinge of spiciness added to it!" Luminous said with eyes wide open, he seemed to have been completely enlightened.

"I-I can't stop eating! G-Give me another, Kireina!" Said Elfina, as I gave her more stew as she stuffed herself eating it and drinking the broth. I quickly brought the recently baked brad and added some butter to it and then put two slices from the skewered meat and made a sandwich. Everyone was looking while I made it, drooling.

"Ugh, alright, you can have skewered meat, I knew you would want…" I sighed. I shared them this as I continued cooking more, they were shocked as usual.

"I-Is this really just skewered meat?!" Asked Luminous. "Uoohh…! I-It is sweety, spicy, aromatic, and savory all in a single bite! The meat is soft too, so delicious! I can't get enough of this! Make more, now!"

"Oi! Who do you think you're ordering around?!" I asked, as I cooked more meat because I wanted to eat more anyways.

"Uwaaaah! T-The skewered meat is so good! I like the "squid" thingy, but I never thought the chimaera meat and the monkey meat would be tasty too! Monster meat has such a unique flavor to it… Is this due to the magic veins' monsters have compared to normal animals? It enhances the taste and quality of their flesh…" Said Elfina, being enlightened by eating monsters. Yes, come to the dark side!

"T-This squid… I love it." Said Fiere. "I-I want more! Please, give me more!" Fiere cried as she stuffed her cheeks with it. At the end, we all ended eating a ton of food, so much that the two girls with little stomachs had enormous bellies after eating, looking almost pregnant.

Wow, I got a nice Title Skill. I guess I am really a Mister Chef now, huh? Well, now that we are done eating, we should get moving downstairs, but I can't help but think that I should rub it over their faces that I know how to cook so they realize how great I am.

"Hey, so what were you guys saying about me being insane over wanting to cook? Or that there was no way I was a caring mother that made tasty food to her children? What do you think now?" I asked smugly, the three remained in silence, they didn't knew what to even say about it.

"Okay, sorry!" Sighed Elfina, crossing her arms. "It was all tasty… Burp."

"I-I apologize for doubting your culinary talent, Kireina-sama." Said Fiere.

"I never doubted you! I even let you cook to see what you would make…" Said Luminous pridefully.

"Suuure. Well, now that we got our bellies full, let's go downstairs!" I cheerfully said.
