Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?

Chapter 909 A Break

-----

Through combining the Cooking Magic Spells such as [Flavor Enhancement] [Nutrient Enrichment] [Magical Flavor] and [Life Force Spice] with my [Cooking] Skill, the food that emerged from our preparations looked mighty tasty, and smelled so good it made even my Familiars drool.

Mist and Lara joined with me on the cooking, Aquarina was rather good at cooking too, but she had already butchered the beast with us so she wanted to take a little rest. She enjoyed seeing me cook for her though.

Aquarina likes to fantasize us being a married couple living alone together, she always says she wants "her cute wife" to cook for her every day… It makes me blush a lot whenever she says it out loud. I've gotta work hard to become the cute wife she wants too!

"Here it is! I've prepared mostly just simple food, because making you guys wait is not something I wanted… And I'm starving as well." I smiled, serving the meals around a huge table that Glutton summoned out of his dimensional stomach.

The meat of the Fishman King was so red and tasteful that it felt like red meat. So I ended deciding to roast the large, thick slices with a lot of delicious spices, sweet sauces, and Ignatius spirit flames to make them as tasty as possible.

I also minced the meat separately, made them into small meatballs, covered them on eggs and breadcrumbs, and deep fried them to make little fish croquets.

As a third dish, I decided to make these differently, covering them on tomato slices, onions, oregano, salt, and some pepper, and wrapping the pieces on huge Spirit Leaves produced by Naturia.

Those were placed over the grill as they slowly grilled inside the huge leaves, slowly burning outside while the meat inside was tenderly cooked to perfection.

The result was a tender fish meat with delicious flavors mixed together, and with a strong healing effect as it absorbed the essence of the Spirit Leaves.

Oh, and of course, we boiled some scissor crabs and put on the grill some small clams we found around too, enjoying a huge seafood feast.

"Hmm, this is sho good!" Aquarina was stuffing herself with the crunch croquets. "So crunchy! And this sweet and spicy red sauce is really good too! What is this?"

"It's a sauce I made using the Jalape?o and other spices." I explained. "It has the effects of increasing attack when consumed with other dishes for an hour."

"Ooh! Is this why I feel so strong now?" Aquarina giggled. "Here, you too! Let me feed you~!"

Aquarina gently gave me a spoonful of the tenderly grilled fishman king meat with vegetables, as I ate it rather timidly, without being able to stop blushing.

"It's good." I smiled, cleaning my mouth with a handkerchief. "Here's a croquet to you~"

"Ahh~" Aquarina opened her beautiful mouth and quickly ate the croquet I offered to her, enjoying it happily.

If she had a tail, she would be wagging it happily right now. In fact, those that had them were doing that just now. Lara and Luck were enjoying the meal so much their tails were waving around and their cute fluffy ears we removing to all places.

"Hmm! I've eaten this for a while now but I can't get enough! Boss monsters are sure a different type of food altogether!" Lara said. "I usually dislike meat, but fish is fine!"

"Hahaha, you've never liked eating meat all that much." Luck laughed. "She usually only ate the salad."

"Did she?" Zack wondered. "But the Salad's always the worst part!"

"Salad is delicious and sweet!" Lara protested. "It's the best when the veggies are crunchy and refreshing, whenever I finish one, I feel refreshed!"

"Well, she's a Sheep Anima, so it makes sense she favors vegetables this much." Celeste laughed. "Don't you, little lamb?"

"I'm not a lamb though?" Lara wondered, tilting her head.

Celeste's teasing habits usually don't worked on the hard-headed and stubborn Lara.

"Nam, nam, nam!" Mist was happily eating to her heart's content; she had slowly lost the embarrassment she felt whenever she fully opened her large mouth, usually opening her mouth to eat very small, making it resemble the same mouth we had.

However, after the talk we had with her, especially the one with Zack, she had stopped fearing being judged by her physical appearance, at least around us and our families, so she always eats however she wants.

It made me feel a bit bad that she was forcing herself to not eat how she was supposed to just to not look "ugly" or "weird", but she's slowly getting over it.

"Is it tasty, Mist? You're gobbling everything up!" I giggled.

"Yesh! It's really good! The ones I made are really tasty too!" Mist was really happy and carefree today. "Zack, did you like the onesh I made?"

"I've eaten most of them!" Zack smiled happily. "Your seasonings are very unique compared to Sylphy's, so I can immediately tell they were yours. Can I have seconds?"

"S-Sure!" Mist blushed happily, serving her cute boyfriend some more.

Gosh, both were so cute together! The last week, they got married through the Amazonian Tribe's custom that we did with Aquarina back then, so they're officially married through the tribe, which due to their standards, already consider Zack as a young adult despite only being 15.

Mist is three years younger though, but it seems like she didn't really cared about it… Both look to be almost the same age except on the muscles Zack's packing.

Ninhursag has been training Mist a bit as well, as she didn't wanted her son's wife to be weak, she had been personally teaching her advanced bow techniques, sprinting abilities, stealth, how to recognize terrain and all sorts of other survival tips.

Despite being rather harsh at teaching her, Mist hasn't complained at all, and is fully committed to becoming strong even if her physique wasn't the mightiest, and even as of now, was still quite frail.

Everyone must grow on their own ways and seek their own specialties to talents to master.

And talking about growth, I guess it's about time I help Aquarina Ran Up.
