Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System-Novel

Chapter 858 A Welcoming Feast

-----

As I walked outside of the Guild Master's room, I was quickly greeted with a surprising sight. Benladra was sitting in front of a big table as several chefs were bringing her plates of food. The mere sight of this was confusing me. Why was this happening? Was I having a dream? What the heck is going on?! Why is everyone just feeding Benladra?!

A chef approached her and gave her a plate with a big steak of meat covered in a delicious-looking black sauce and small potatoes as a side dish. Benladra licked her lips and quickly devoured the entire piece of meat by stabbing it with her fork and munching it all down. Later appeared another chef carrying a giant lobster claw the size of a watermelon- how big is that thing?! And Benladra quickly began eating the delicious white meat inside.

"What's going on in here?!" I asked in shock. Benladann quickly ran to my side.

"O-Oh, apparently the chefs have been making new recipes and they often invite guests to taste them, but after that was over there is a lot of leftovers… They said that if we wanted to taste, but nobody of us felt hungry right now except Benladra." Said Benladann.

"Isn't she eating too much though?!" I asked in surprise, Benladann was being overly condescending. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelenglish.net . Firᴇ.net - novelenglish.net . bin

"Benladra has a black hole for a stomach. I don't know if it really matters…" Benladann said while sighing a bit. I guess I had to slightly agree with her in that regard.

"But even then isn't this bad for her health?" I wondered.

"Not really, you know she's like… Pseudo Immortal, right?" Asked Miranda.

"…Right." I sighed. I was just trying to find excuses for it, but I guess it was better for someone to eat all of this food instead of being thrown away.

"Okay, I'll join too. I cannot let my daughter bear this entire burden." I said valiantly, stepping and sitting at the side of my daughter, we quickly began devouring the high-quality food, completely for free! How lucky of us to be right in the moment we needed to be!

"W-Wait, you're joining too?! Geez, there's no helping it!" Benladann quickly jumped into the fray, and then everybody else followed her as they said "why not".

At the end, we ate until we felt like our stomachs were about to burst. I had never eaten as much as this before. I always felt like it wasn't enough to fill me even after our big lunches. I guess the delicious high quality of the food makes up for it as well, giving it a better flavor and something that goes with it that really makes you happy. I-I mean, I am not saying my food is bad or something, but really, eating this much delicious food is not bad at all once in a while. Just eating something I didn't prepared that is just as tasty or even tastier… man, it hits the spot.

"Thank you for eating this food, we really thought we would have to throw it off, we had made too much. And it was mostly all rather cold, so it would be embarrassing to bring it anywhere." Sighed one of the chefs.

"Yeah, we were all full already, throwing it would had been a waste." Sighed a second chef.

"Than little girl really eats a lot, I have never seen someone eat more than their own mass! Is that some sort of magic ability she has?" Wondered a third chef.

"Erm, yeah, just magic." I said while shrugging. "A-Anyways, see ya for the competition, I am participating as well." Before I walked outside, I said those words, all the chefs present suddenly were shocked. From elves, humans, dwarves, beast-kin, giants, and more, all of them were surprised and rather happy.

"Oh, a new member?!"

"Wait a second good man! You're truly a new member?"

"How happy is to see a new fellow chef in the making!"

"What's your name? what do you work as?"

The chef guild ended being surprisingly friendly with new members. It was only a hundred members all over the continent. Unlike other guilds with thousands, I guess the smaller number also implied that people was closer with one another and knew each other better as well. I ended spending like an hour talking with everybody. My family had to wait in the sidelines but they were serving desserts as a thanks for having eaten all the food and also as a celebration for a new member.

It was already past 5 PM when we walked out of the building. In the way, I explained to my family and friends what I had experienced with the guild master and everything else. They seemed rather surprised, even more when I just decided to participate in a cooking contest… which had a very tight timing.

"It starts in two days?! Are you crazy?! Didn't we said we were going to rescue Ruby after getting done with the Frost Tower?!" Benladann roared back at me, reprimanding me. I couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed that I did something like this. I had considered other things but even then, I still selfishly choose to do this, mostly due to the guild master's insistence.

"I know, but I really wanted to participate… I can still participate while going for Ruby or doing something else, don't worry, I can divide myself." I said to Benladann, as she felt confused.

"Divide yourself? You mean the slimes clones?" She wondered.

"No, more like an actual true clone which carries my soul. It is as if my soul could have many bodies, without the necessity to cut the soul into fragments." I said rather confidently.

"S-Such a thing is possible?!" She asked in shock. "T-That means I can have two of you in bed?"

"Eh? W-Well, technically? Is that all you have to say?" I sighed. Was Benladann thinking something lewd? I never expected she would think that first…
