Chapter 1920: Enjoying A Meal With The Family
The feast that Andromeda and my wives prepared was to remember, I just entered the castle and Benladra and Kate instantly dragged me to my seat, they flew around serving me several plates of food, and then they served themselves... I was a bit surprised by how much effort and attention they put, I was a bit moved.
"Woah, so much food! And it looks great!" I said. "A lot of Divine Monster meat I see..."
"Yeah, we also included Soul Monsters meat we had stocked," said Benladann. "Once it's cooked using Magic, it can become solid and its delicious, and you can even eat it without being inside a Soul Realm."
"Oh, so there was such a way to cook the Soul Beast meat, huh?" I wondered. "That's great, and... it's delicious!"
As I ate, I noticed my Soul gained some energy with each bite, I ended eating a whole plate of fried rice with phantom wyvern meat from the Soul Realm of the Draconic Records of the Dark Dragons I had visited before, and it really felt like the soul was eating rather than the body.
"Papa, try this!" Benladra gave me a bowl full of fried vegetables of all colors, it smelled like olive oil, and she had placed small sesame-like seeds on top.
"Oh?" I quickly started eating. "Hm?! Delicious! There's potatoes here, sweet ones as well as the normal ones... Also radish? Carrots... broccoli, and more... Hm, they're all juicy and sweet though!"
"Yep, I raised them!" Benladra nodded. "They're the veggies I've been growing! Remember when you introduced me to the farm back then when I was little? And you also gifted me my cute Bee Spirit."
"Bbzzzz...!"
A large yellow and black bee emerged, sitting on top of Benladra, it had evolved since its small origins, and even had a golden crown on top, this was her Bee Spirit I had created as a pet to help her farm. She produces honey every day and helps her with the crops, but it doesn't seem to be a combat oriented spirit.
"Oh yeah, of course I remember!" I nodded. "Hahaha, recalling when you were such a cute little baby made me feel a bit nostalgic."
"I-I'm not cute anymore?!" Benladra gasped.
"W-What? I did not said that! Of course you're still cute, my daughter..." I muttered. "It just that babies are simply... well..."
"Heheh, I was joking dad, I know what you mean!" Benladra giggled.
"Heheh..." Kate giggled as well, rather cutely.
"Hahah... Yeah," I sighed. "Anyways, it seems the veggies you grow have become more and more delicious with each harvest, huh?"
"Yep, the soil has become richer the more I cultivated!" said Benladra. "With Kate we inject spirit and divine energies every day, right?"
"It's fun to use the farm, I like making hybrid plants," Kate said. "Here, I made a plate with them, daddy."
"Ohhh?" I was surprised as Kate showed me her plate. "What's this?"
I was quite shocked to see many veggies I had never seen before, something that resembled a fusion between a carrot and a potato, a tomato-like radish, broccoli and cauliflower hybrids, and more.
"They're the third batch, the first ones didn't taste that good, but I've been perfecting their growth," Kate smiled proudly. "They taste good now, by the by."
"Yeah they do! I tasted some myself," Andromeda nodded. "They were a lovely meal! Can mama have more, Kate dear?"
"No more, we must preserve the rest, so they grow and multiply," Kate said strictly. "Hybrid veggies grow slower after all and have a harder time multiplying."
"Huh... Okay then..." Andromeda looked a bit sad as she heard our daughter's harsh response, but that's how Kate is. "Can mama have a little kissie at least?"
"Mama I already kissed you like ten times this morning..." Kate sighed.
"B-But I can't have enough of my cute princess!" Andromeda became an incredible doting mother.
"Later..." Kate looked back at me. "Daddy, eat up."
"Yes, yes, don't look at me like that..." I laughed a bit, sometimes her glare was very pressuring due to how stoic she could be at times.
I tasted the hybrid veggies, and they were...
"Wow, that's more flavor than I imagined..."
The flavors were strong, sweet, slightly savory from being stir fried, and also the spices on top, everything went down nicely, there was a party inside my mouth, quite literally.
I think my favorite were the potato carrots though, they were crunchy and creamy, and there was that sweetness of carrots combined with the flavor of potatoes.
"It's good!"
I ate everything in an instant, as Kate smiled happily.
"Did you like it daddy?"
"It was delicious, you're truly a genius, Kate! We could probably combine fruits next!" "Yeah, I was thinking about that, if daddy helps me out it can become even faster."
"Sure thing!"
As I petted her little head and we enjoyed our meals, I also tasted the various other meals my wives prepared. Miranda prepared a lot of noodles, most made with divine wheat, and others made of divine sweet potatoes, having very unique flavors.
There were some with green sauces made of crushed herbs, probably similar to Pesto Sauces, and then White Sauces made with cream, flour, and ham pieces, and of course, Bolognese sauce with delicious tomato sauce and ground meat with meatballs.
"What with all these noodles? I love them but you made a bunch!" I said.
"I was feeling like eating noodles to be honest," Miranda said with a pleased smile. "Do you
like it, honey?"
"H-Honey?!" I gasped.
"W-What?!" she asked angrily.
"Well... you usually don't call me like that," I laughed a bit.
"I-I... I do sometimes! Don't say that!" Miranda got grumpy again.
"Raaarr!" Drakda imitated his grumpy mother, roaring like her as he ate noodles and left a
little mess.
"Hahaha... okay, okay, I get it, calm down," I laughed a bit more. "They're delicious, and thanks for making them for us. I would love if you could cook more, you've got great talent I
think..."
"I-Is that so? Well... we'll see!" Miranda said, fidgeting her long black hair nervously while
blushing.
"Heh, now dear, my turn~! I got you your favorite, roasted, grilled, and fried meat, hamburgers, meatloaf, fried chicken, all of it!" Benladann brought all the meat she had
prepared.
"Ooh?! I-I guess we'll eat for a little while longer..." I muttered.
Even as a dragon I've begun to feel a bit stuffed already...
