The Elf Maiden used a table knife to cut a small piece of meat, then used a fork to put it into her mouth.
"How is it, how is it?"
The white-haired girl looked over expectantly.
After just a couple of chews, the Elf Maiden’s expression became strange.
"It’s so, so sweet! Did Lina accidentally use sugar instead of salt?"
The white-haired girl shook her head.
"No, it’s because we ran out of salt, so I used sugar instead. This is what’s called sweet-flavored gourmet, right?"
"You can’t make this meat sweet-tasting! It’s not like it’s tofu pudding!"
The taste was extremely strange.
The Elf Maiden gave up on the meat, scooping up a bit of the sauce on the plate with a spoon to taste it, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"The sauce is also super sweet! It even has a hint of tomato flavor. Is this a unique sauce making secret technique?"
"Oh, I intended to use black pepper sauce, but found out we didn’t have any, so I substituted it with ketchup."
"Here comes the super weird substitution!"
"This meat doesn’t taste like beef either..."
The Dragon Race Maiden used a fork to pick up a piece of meat, put it in her mouth, and found it tasted odd, looking at the white-haired girl.
"There seems to be a gamey taste..."
The white-haired girl clapped her hands.
"Hehe, you noticed, huh? Since there was no beef in the Storage Ring, I used lamb instead~"
"You ended up making a dish that doesn’t match its name at all, Lina! Isn’t this false advertising?"
The Elf Maiden quickly put down the utensils, not daring to rashly taste even the vegetables on the plate, although they looked like spinach leaves, there’s a high chance they’ve already been replaced by some strange ingredient!
"Lureya, being so picky in the Primitive Forest would lead to your demise!"
The white-haired girl showed a sinister expression, as if telling a ghost story to the Elf Maiden.
"Cooking in the Primitive Forest isn’t about having all the ingredients you want; most of the time, you’ll find a dish missing this or that when you want to cook. So, you have to make the most of the ingredients you have while cooking."
The white-haired girl forked a piece of meat and put it in her mouth, her cheeks bulging as she chewed.
"Learning to deceive yourself while eating is also very important. Sometimes, even if you have stale, tasteless bread, you have to imagine it as a fried chicken drumstick to quickly swallow it, creating the illusion that you’ve eaten something delicious. Only then will you have the motivation to survive in the Primitive Forest."
"But right now, it’s a leisurely dinner time, not the wilderness where a monster could appear at any moment, Lina! Besides, you can’t eat it yourself!"
The Elf Maiden pointed at Lina, who was struggling to swallow.
"Haha. Lina didn’t just learn swordsmanship in her training; she also learned bold cooking skills."
Shami silently put down the knife and fork she was about to sample with, crossing her arms, and gave a proud smile to the white-haired girl.
"Shami! You truly understand me!"
The white-haired girl pounded her chest, forcibly swallowing the meat in her mouth, looking touchingly at Shami, then confidently looked at Lureya.
"Humph! Do you understand bold cuisine, Lureya?"
"What bold cooking, stop giving such false praise! It’s just poor cooking skills! Shami, you should try a bite!"
The Elf Maiden forked a piece of meat to Shami’s mouth, but Shami’s lips remained tightly shut.
"Seems like I’ll have to do it myself."
In the end, it was up to Shami to take action.
Using the villagers’ cooking skills, combined with the culinary memories from a previous life and ingredients picked from the village garden in the Demon King Ring, she prepared a table full of Chinese-style dinner.
Successfully fed the three girls.
The white-haired girl, who had been wandering in the city for several days, and the flat-chested blond, who had just arrived in the city, were both exhausted. After taking a bath, they returned early to their rooms, falling asleep soundly.
Only the light in the side chamber of the living room was still on.
Shami sat on the sofa, pondering over his choices.
There was a small cushion on the sofa and a light blanket, sufficient for him to spend the night here.
Of course, he had another option.
Open the Teleportation Gate, return directly to his village hut for the night.
After thinking for a while, Shami chose to sleep on the sofa.
Originally a villager, he was used to the rough life of the village, and besides, the environment of his village hut couldn’t compare to this meticulously decorated suite.
Resting here, if the three girls encountered any special situation, he could know immediately.
Shami lay down on the sofa, hands behind his head.
The living room was very quiet, with faint night market sounds coming in from the balcony without drawn curtains. The night lights of Saint Karno City were dazzling, and even indoors, several colorful light beams were floating in.
Shami looked at the balcony.
At this moment, a soft sound came from the quiet room.
Shami looked towards the source of the sound.
In the dim darkness, a tall figure slowly walked out.
It was the purple-haired girl Elze.
Shami softly transmitted his voice.
The purple-haired girl paused, then slowly walked to the living room, looking apologetic.
"Sorry, the room doesn’t have a bathroom. Did I disturb you?"
Shami got up from the sofa, looking at Elze in her loose T-shirt and short shorts.
Her legs were long, her excellent figure making the T-shirt stand out.
The purple-haired girl returned from the bathroom, ready to go back to her room.
