Chapter 53: Chapter 53-Dinner
After everything was settled, we returned to guard, but this time with help of the villagers. I walk around the village, if something happens I can help right away. After keeping watch for a long time, the night would finally come, but nothing strange had happened yet, or perhaps they would attack at night.
Because it will be night soon, I have to go back to the house first, we will all have dinner, while the others are on guard. Once there, I only saw Karyn and Leila, I didn't see Shelly and Nylah.
"Where are Shelly and Nylah?" I asked them.
"They're still on guard, they say, we'll take turns eating dinner. This is so that if something happens, we can handle it right away."Leila told me.
"Okay, I see," I nodded.
"So who will cook? I can cook too if you want," I said.
"You can cook Lute? How about helping me cook, I want to see how good you are at cooking," Leila smiled.
"Trust me," I said as I patted my chest.
"Hmph, it doesn't taste good at most," Karyn snorted.
"You'll see later, how about you. can you cook? You know, if a woman can cook, that's a man's ideal woman," I taunted her.
Karyn's expression darkened at what I said. She stood up from her seat and pointed her finger at me.
"Of course I can cook, I'll show you," Karyn said angrily and walked into the kitchen.
"W-wait Karyn, you can't do that," Leila tried to restrain Karyn.
"What do you mean I can't do it, Leila? Don't you believe me?" This time Karyn glared at Leila.
Leila was silent, not knowing what to say. She looked at me with an expression like crying inside. Karyn went straight to the kitchen leaving us alone.
"Look at Lute, you just made her do something she's not good at," Leila said holding her head in one hand.
"I-is it that bad?" I was dumbfounded.
"That's really bad, you'll see later. There was a time Karyn was cooking, we didn't even eat all day, the food looked weird and tasted awful. But Karyn forced herself to eat food while crying."
'What!? Did I just make her cook some weird food now,' I cried inwardly.
"Anyway, we have to stop it now, or else we won't be able to eat anything today," Leila rushed into the kitchen.
I followed behind her, when I got to the kitchen I was dumbfounded. It wasn't long before Karyn was in the kitchen, but there was already chaos here.
'She washed meat until it was foamy? How could that happen? Wait, what's with the violet liquid in that pot? Does she want to make soup? Seriously, how can the soup be bubbly and give off an aura of death,'
"It's already started, we can't stop her anymore. Lute!! Let's also quickly cook now, otherwise, we won't have any food to eat."
Leila quickly grabbed the remaining ingredients in the kitchen and started cooking. I followed her and helped her cook. Eventually, we work together to make food with existing ingredients.
"Leila, bring a pot and water here, I'll cook,"
"Okay,"
"Cut these ingredients, I'll cut the meat," I told her.
"Wow Lute, you are reliable, even I haven't cooked at all and just helped you," Leila looks happy.
"Of course, I'm used to living alone, so this is nothing," I said proudly.
....
As long as we were helping each other cook, Karyn's face was gloomy as she cooked. She didn't know what she had made, I just chuckled at her mixing all the ingredients into the pot.
After preparing the soup, I made other dishes which are tempura from prawns, omelet rolls, unfortunately, there is no rice here. If there is rice here everything is perfect, maybe I need to visit the human kingdom later, because they have rice as their staple, while for Beastmen their main food is meat.
"Finished,"
It didn't take long to cook, we finished preparing everything, I breathed a sigh of relief. But when I turned to Karyn, I widened my eyes.
'W-what is she making, if I eat that, I'm not sure if I'll still be alive,'
I got goosebumps looking at strange looking food she made, it was as if it was calling me going to the death. But from Karyn's face, she looked satisfied that she had made all this food. I don't know what else to say.
"I've finished preparing everything, we'll see, whose food is the best," Karyn said to me with a smug expression.
"Are you sure you brag about that food?" I looked at her in disbelief.
"Of course, is there a problem?" Karyn looks at me sarcastically, but she ignores it and carries her food into the dining room.
'Of course it's a big problem!'
"I now understand Leila, what did you mean earlier,"
"Hah.. let's take this food to dining room," Leila sighed and brought the food we made earlier.
....
After preparing all the food, some of the food looked delicious, some looked terrible.
"You try my food first, we'll see whose food is better," Karyn snorted.
"Err.. do I have to eat it?" I pointed at this strange and chewy object, maybe it's meat, I don't know, what's this.
"Of course you should try eating it, otherwise you won't know taste," Karyn looked at me displeased.
Swallowing my saliva, I stabbed the thing with a fork, it tasted so chewy like pudding. Leila looked at me worriedly as I was about to put it in my mouth. Putting the food in my mouth and swallowing it, I felt at a glance, someone was calling me in the middle of a distant lake.
I realize with all these flashes, I've felt it before. This flash was very similar to the first time I cooked food, it tasted awful, but this time it was even worse. Spicy, sour, bitter and various flavors that I don't understand make my tongue go numb.
"Cough, cough, what kind of food are you making, this is terrible," My body shivered, remembering taste of the food.
"What are you saying? How my food tasted terrible."
Karyn pouted and tried to eat her homemade food. Instantly her face immediately changed as she ate her own food, she held her mouth trying to swallow it whole.
"Th-it's delicious, you might not be able to taste it properly," She said, although the corners of her lips had a strangely colored liquid.
Karyn ate her own food voraciously, the corners of her eyes showing a hint of tears there, as if she was about to cry. I was taken aback by her crazy actions, and thought if she was okay?
'Really, how childish it is,'
Sighing, I put the soup I made with Leila in a bowl and gave it to Karyn.
"Here eat, you'd better eat soup we made than eat that weird thing,"
Karyn took it hesitantly, she also didn't want to eat the food she made earlier, because it tasted awful. But since she didn't want to taste the food anymore, she accepted it.
The moment she put soup into her mouth, at that instant, her eyes filled with tears, and tears fell from corners of her eyes.
"Wuu...This is delicious, Hiks.. this is good..Hiks..this is delicious, this is delicious,"
Karyn was sobbing at that very moment, she was eating soup while crying which made her look cute. I don't know whether to laugh or cry seeing this, she's like someone who finally has hope to live at the end of her life.
'Hah.. this is the second time I see a girl feeling sad while eating my cooking,'

Chapter 54: Chapter 54-Attack of the Enemy
"Master, I want to," Woli who was beside me said pleadingly.
"This is for you," I chuckled looking at her who couldn't wait anymore.
"Dina, how about you, do you want?"
When I called her, Dina immediately came out of my clothes. She also looks curious about this food, she is currently sitting on my lap. As for Yua, she just sat on my shoulder without saying much.
"Here, eat it, I'm sure you'll like it."
I feed Dina, who is on my lap. When she ate it, her eyes immediately lit up, she seemed pleased with the taste of my cooking.
"This is delicious Lute,"
[+1000 Love Points]
"I'm glad you like it," I smiled.
Leila saw this from her seat, her hand on her chin, her eyes twinkling and looking at me with a smile. Suddenly she said something that made me gasp.
"Lute you look like you're taking care of your kids, maybe you'll make a good father," Leila looked at me with a bright smile.
"Hahaha, somehow after you said it, I feel what you said is true," I laughed.
Looking at the current atmosphere, well one could say, this was the peaceful atmosphere that everyone wanted. I also feel warm in my heart, This reminds me of my times in the village with Bella's mom, the orphanage children, Silvie and Celyne who were in the city. I miss them now.
"What's wrong Lute? You look sad?" Leila asked when she saw my expression.
"No-nothing, I'm just thinking about my hometown, somehow current atmosphere reminds me of them,"
"Oh that's right, I don't know where are you from, can you tell me, Lute," Leila asked curiously.
"I used to live in Sailos City, to be more precise in an orphanage in a village close to Sailos City," I said while remembering those times.
"Wow, so you live there, meaning it's not far from Mervbanis Academy, are you planning on entering the Academy too?"
"That's right, I was planning to enter the Academy,"
"Hehehe, that means I'll be your senior, if there's anything you want to ask, just ask me and the others," Leila smirked at me.
"I'll remember that," I laughed.
"Hmn.. this is delicious, I didn't expect your cooking to be this delicious, even beyond mine," Leila put food in her mouth happily.
We all ate happily, only Karyn cried while eating my food. She looks too cute for her age because she eats while crying. I also fed Dina and got some Love Points from her.
After dinner, we changed shifts with others. I've prepared food for Shelly and Nylah, they are very grateful to me, this way they won't waste time.
------
Inside the Forest, a group of people, probably around 30 people, wearing white robes with a crest like a sleeping dragon skeleton on their backs, were lined up neatly.
There was also a strangely shaped monster, it was about seven meters tall, with its entire head covered in fur, without eyes. The monster had a tongue shaped like a mouth, the monster's fangs were sharp even on the tongue. The monster's hand had claws as sharp as a knife. The monster's body was like a wolf with a tail like a scorpion.
There was not just one monster, but there were three of them, it seemed that this group of people mustered quite a lot of troops to carry out a battle.
One man was in front of all these groups, he was the leader of this group. The man had black hair and a well-trained body, with a sword at his waist. His eyes looked very sharp, his face also looked unpleasant.
"Sir, do we need to deploy a lot of troops to just attack a village?"
Someone in the group asked, group leader's eyes narrowed when he heard this, but he explained after that.
"This is very necessary if we want to attack the village. A spy we have stationed there gives us information, in a village there is a party group sent by the Mervbanis Academy, to deal with kidnappings that we have been carrying out. This party group has a B rank, which is quite troublesome if not handled properly, we also have to finish this quickly, before help from the city arrives."
"Do you all understand now?" The leader's gaze became sharp.
"Yes sir,"
"Soon we will start attacking, we have also been informed that the villagers have evacuated themselves to underground storage, which is near village head's house. We just need to attack there without needing to search all over the village painstakingly,"
"Hmph, do they think they can stop us by evacuating ourselves to the storage room, What a fool. All of you, prepare to take positions, we are about to attack the village, NOW!!" The group leader shouted.
In an instant, everyone in the lineup, scattered around the village took up positions, while the group leader looked up at the dark night sky.
'Melusine Project is finished, in a moment, just a few extras, we will attack those who threaten us and make them pay for hunting us. I will also make them understand how sorry they are for not supporting and rejecting what we are doing,'
The man's eyes shone with anger, he recalled when he was humiliated in front of the nobles, they even stole his idea, he would make them regret making him suffer.

--PoV Nylah--
After finishing dinner, I returned to guard around the village. The food I ate earlier tasted good, I didn't know that man could actually cook and the food tasted good. But it has nothing to do with me, so I don't really care.
While I was walking around the village, I suddenly felt a strong wind coming from behind and heading towards me. I dodged it by jumping, but suddenly a fireball attacked me in midair, spinning in the air, I took two short swords at my waist and instantly cut the fireball until it disappeared in thin air.
"Who!?"
I narrowed my eyes looking around, 10 people in white robes approached, there were also strange monsters following them.
"Hohoho, good reaction," One of the people from the group spoke, as if surprised.
'Looks like they are a group of people who kidnapped people in the village, I have to contact the others,'
Taking Seezingcal, I'll tell others, but I heard they're going through the same thing.
"Nylah, I'm here to help,"
Leila who was not far from me came here, because we were guarding same place, she came on time. Several villagers who were on guard also came here.
"I don't like to linger, let's just start the battle,"
"ROAAARRRRR"
The group started to attack, and the roar of the monster made our ears ring. The few villagers who were just ordinary people instantly fainted on the spot with their mouths filled with foam. While those who can survive hold their aching heads. I also felt a slight pain in my head after hearing the monster's roar.
