Chapter 15: Harmony
Faced with Albedo's question, Lucas explained, "This is the chef I found."
As he spoke, Albedo looked at shuna, and the jealousy in her eyes dissipated significantly.
"I see."
At this moment,shuna also reacted.
"Chef!?"
Although she sensed that this man seemed to have no ill intentions and only wanted her to be a chef, the honest shuna still spoke the truth, "I... I can't cook!"
Upon hearing this, a kind smile appeared on Albedo's face.
"Master, she clearly isn't a chef. Why not just kill her directly?"
Albedo, looking as if she wanted to eliminate shuna immediately, took out a black axe and was about to strike.
shunawas so frightened that her face turned pale.
"Stop, Albedo!"
Lucas's cold shout stopped her.
"Do you want to eat green pepper stewed apples every day?"
"Green... green pepper stewed apples..."
Albedo immediately returned to her gentle and elegant demeanor.
"I understand!"
"Good."
Lucas nodded, then turned to shuna.
"Don't be afraid. The main reason I brought you here is to make you a chef."
"Oh, I forgot to give you a name."
Lucas added.
"A name!? Is that really okay?"
Shuna couldn't believe it. She knew very well what naming meant.
"Since you know what naming means, you should also understand that after being named, you will become my subordinate. Are you willing?"
"I..."
shuna's face showed hesitation, and she fell into deep conflict.
"If it's just to be a chef, then there's no problem."
"But my father and brother..."
Lucas knew what shuna was worried about, so he said, "Don't worry. If your people can't find you in three months, I will let you go back to explain."
With Lucas's assurance,shuna breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.
"From now on, you will be called shuna."
As he spoke, Lucas's MP (magic power) instantly dropped by half.
As the soul corridor between them was constructed, the lost MP turned into magical elements and flowed intoshuna's body.
shuna's body immediately emitted a golden light.
Moments later,shuna completed her transformation, successfully advancing to a higher-level demon, the Oni tribe.
Her strength also reached A-level.
She inherited Lucas's "Illusion Magic," "Space Magic," "Thought Acceleration," and the weakened skill "Healer" from "Savior."
The "Healer" skill also had many auxiliary abilities, but they were all related to healing and mana recovery, lacking the effects of increasing attack and attack speed.
shuna's appearance also changed.
The red patterns on her face disappeared, her skin became fairer, and the two white horns on her forehead became more delicate. Her long hair, as pink as cherry blossoms, flowed down.
Overall,shuna looked even more cute and charming.
"Good! Very good."
Lucas nodded in satisfaction and continued, "My name is Lucas, and this is Albedo, the chief steward here."
"Please take care of me in the future."
Shun apolitely greeted Albedo.
"Don't be so formal. We all serve the supreme master. Just be loyal and diligent in the future!"
Albedo still wore a gentle and elegant smile.
However, to shuna, there was an indescribable sense of intimidation.
Shuna did not show any fear. Her gaze remained calm and unwavering as she looked at Albedo.
As a former princess of a noble family,shuna's intelligence was unquestionable.
After understanding the situation, she realized that her life was protected by the master here, so there was no need to back down from this hostile woman.
Albedo, seeingshuna's evolution and her beauty not inferior to her own, was reminded of someone.
Shalltear!
A sense of threat arose.
The position of the main wife must be hers!
...
Lucas was very satisfied with the harmonious scene between the two.
"Alright, Albedo, go and choose a room for shuna. I'll take her to the kitchen first."
"Yes, master."
Albedo bowed respectfully.
After Albedo left,shuna looked at Lucas.
"Um, Lord Lucas, I really haven't been a chef before."
"No problem!"
Lucas interrupted with a wave of his hand, then used the skill "Thought Network" to transmit all the knowledge about food and dishes he could think of to shuna.
"Thought Network" was a skill Lucas acquired when he summoned a certain wolf. It allowed him to transmit images and knowledge from his mind through thoughts.
After receiving the teaching video named "A Bite of China" from Lucas,shuna felt as if a new world had opened up.
"Now, I believe the food you make will be much more palatable than Susu's."
"Who is Susu?"
"Come with me, I'll introduce you."
...
In the kitchen, Susu was diligently stirring a pot of green, sticky substance.
It was impossible to tell what the original ingredients were.
She was muttering to herself, "This time, I will definitely make a green, healthy dish that the master has never eaten before!"
Lucas had also tried sharing his knowledge of cooking with Susu.
But for some reason, some of the information was automatically filtered out in her little head.
In the end, she only retained three words: innovation, green, and health!
Anyway, she never made a normal dish.
When Lucas and shuna arrived in the kitchen, they saw Susu stirring the green liquid with a spoon.
Due to her height, she had to stand on a stool to barely reach the spoon.
Such diligence, but in the wrong direction.
"Ahem!"
Lucas coughed a few times, "Um, Susu!"
"Master!"
"Let me introduce you. This isshuna, our new chef."
"What!!!"
"Why, boo~~"
Susu looked very unwilling, her eyes filled with tears of grievance.
She looked as pitiful as could be.
But for the sake of future happiness, Lucas steeled his heart and revoked her kitchen privileges.
Originally planning to make a fuss, Susu was immediately won over after tasting a plate of spicy shredded potatoes that shuna casually made.
shunaand Susu quickly became familiar with each other.
