Chapter 190 190 Breakfast with royals

[Lucy's POV: ]

"El, get the plates, I am almost done!"

"Yes!"

"Nes, see if the table has been prepared or not! And help Eva if it's not!"

"Yes~!"

"Anna.. just continue whatever you were doing. You play a beautiful melody."

I thought that the grand piano in the dining hall would stay lonely forever but thanks to her, it was lively once again.

[[ Haha, this is nothing master~. ]]

She is so nice, haaa...

"Cary! You are useless!"

"Right!? Damn you Cary! You are absolutely useless!"

[[ I did not even do anything! I am just sitting here quietly as you told me to do after I tried to help the very first time! ]]

"I told you to light up a little fire and you fucking burned down the entire kitchen! It's all because of you that I am making food in the garden instead of in that fine kitten as I should!"

"Yes! You bastard! You are useless! Learn something from Friday!"

"Yes, uncle~! Learn something from me~! I will teach you~!"

The newly awakened slime that looked like an adult man.. it was difficult for Eva and Nes to accept the fact that he was El's summoned creature since we didn't tell them he was a slime and such details but, they knew this was unique and understood it perfectly.

Telling them these things was of no use and in the first place, he could maintain any form he wanted for any period he wished for.

This power of his was passive and granted him perfect Polymorphing powers.

He was smart as well so, he had corrected his voice as well, and now, he sounded appropriate for the age he looked like.

'His learning abilities were terrifying. He mastered our language in a few minutes after we started teaching him, he learned many things we wanted to teach him slowly after just a brief explanation and demonstration, and, if that wasn't enough, he had also learned about his elemental powers already and was helping me with the cooking in our new garden filled with some useful species and herbs.'

We would have to replant everything here and grow some good things though, if we wanted to have our own fresh food supply farm, but we knew it would take a while to achieve that goal.

For now though, for our immediate goal of this fine morning, we had a prince of the empire and an elvan princess coming up here for breakfast.. but our kitchen was destroyed!

'This bastard Cary.. he's a dragon so I just told him to start a good enough Soul fire so that I can make some special delicacies but instead of creating a 'small' fire, he blasted off the entire kitchen and set half of our good living room on fire!'

The entire left end of the back of the room was destroyed because of him and I swear if it wasn't for the respect I had for the dragon kind.. I would definitely have at least, destroyed the puny tale of that bastard!

'He increased my workload fivefold and at the end, but Anna helped me with the fire, and thanks to Friday helping me with his great support skills, I was able to finish preparing the food right on the cue.'

We just received word that Rex is here so he will be here anytime soon, and since we couldn't possibly show him our destroyed living room, we had to prepare the dining hall of this dormitory, and, Eva was preparing that giant place, or at least a fine table in that giant place for today's breakfast.

'Damn this Dragon! I really liked that place! Now it will take hours for it to get fixed up!'

Even if we tell Miss Kaplan, it will take a long time before she gets free enough to look after this thing and, since we will be going out anyway after finishing the breakfast, there's no need to do it ourselves.

'It's better to do it ourselves actually, but, whatever.'

We have a big place, the two of them do not care about where they will be eating as long as they are having their breakfast and meeting with us, and since we have bigger problems to deal with today, wasting time behind a destroyed kitchen was unacceptably unimportant.

"Haaaa.. alright Friday. We will take these things just like this and plate them when we are there. Help me and be careful with the plates."

"Yes~!"

We couldn't do anything about his child-like responses so we taught him how to maintain a poker face before the people he did not know and talk only through his link with El.

He was a smart one who though did not have much knowledge as of yet, was a wise one that understood the situations he was in, and also the way he should act according to the situations.

'He is at least better than that bastard dragon that destroyed my lovely kitchen.'

He was a good help and thanks to him, I managed to get the food on the table that Eva and Nes had prepared with great care.

Everyone here aside from him was useful!

"Ugh. At least, we managed.."

"Managed what?"

In the dining hall of our dorm room, a pretty good place that could easily be used for a royal gathering with a few hundred guests, on a single dining table that we had prepared right before the large window in one of the corners, the food was served, and, right when I was standing there with my cooking apron, El was standing there with her casual clothes, and the other three were standing around the table in a pretty good condition, the Prince of the great Empire appeared without a warning and spoke up while my attention was focused on the food on the table.

He appeared out of nowhere like a comet in the night sky, his timing was certainly impeccable.. but it must be a mischief of the receptionist that she sent him here of all places on this time of all the times.

"Good morning, everyone, Lady Eva. I see we came at a not-too-appropriate time."

"Ah.. ummm.. we had this-"

"Not at all, Sir Fang. You came at the perfect time, just that our work was delayed because of a little accident we had earlier.

You don't have to be concerned about it though, we managed to finish the preparations on time. And, if you could just wait here for a little longer, we will finish the rest of the things as well.

We received word from the Receptionist that the Princess is on the way as well so we can start as soon as she is here."

I was wearing an apron but it didn't matter at the moment.

I was standing before a prince for the first time, the second main male lead of our game at that, so, a good impression was a must.

"Oh..? Princess is here early as well?"

"Yes. So, I hope you wouldn't mind."

"No.. not at all. It would only be obvious to wait for her.

Please, finish with whatever you have left. In the meantime, I will admire this wonderful view."

"Please. And we apologize for the inconvenience."

"Haha, there is no need for that. This welcome is far better than I had anticipated."

I could tell he was fascinated by us, as well as this amazing place and, this was just the dining hall of this place.

We knew he could tell just from the looks of this place that this entire dorm room was a special space that was extended magically and that there was much more to it than what he was seeing right now.

However, even excluding the things that might be present in the other parts of the room, this place alone was more than fascinating enough to evoke a unique sense of curiosity in him.

'Rex.. arguably the smartest character of our game, and someone who possessed a skill that was one of a kind in this entire Worldline, a unique skill that he was born with, and a Zero skill on top of it which gave him a deep knowledge of the true reality and the world we all were in.'

He had an incredible knowledge of a lot of things including things of the Worldline that weren't a part of this world itself and most of it was learned from self-realization so there weren't any great restrictions on his knowledge either.

And even after not talking about the skills themselves, he was the son of one of the absolutes of this world, and his mother.. well, she was an even more special being than his father.

"Eva, Nes, please take care of them. And Friday, come with us for a moment please."

The smart one nodded without saying a word and followed behind me, and, though Rein was right behind me, she stopped when we were exactly at the door to the next room.

"Ohhh! Right.. Prince Morexis? Can you please call out your adorable familiar in the meantime? I heard he is an adorable little one.

I have been looking forward to seeing him for a while now~."

"We can meet him after we come back, you know?" The debut release of this chapter happened at N0v3l_B1n.

She really liked a few special kinds of beings and small, round, cute ones, as well as big, ugly, and scary ones were her ideal type.

It was obvious she would like Rex's familiar since she had loved it even in the game, but, I didn't think she would ask for him in the state she was in right now.

She practically looked like a messed up young girl who had just woken up from a good long sleep in that outfit of hers and with that destroyed hair.

She really didn't care about her pretty hair at all!

"Let's go. We will meet him after we come back in a better condition.

Eva! Nes! Please look after them and guide Princess if she arrives before us! Serve the juices, and don't open the plates! Please!

We apologise, Prince Morexis!"

I pulled her along with me out of the room and dragged her straight to our luxurious bathroom.. and then things happened there, we tidied ourselves, did a few quick things, and came back in nine minutes in a better state and outfit.

And, by the time we had come back, Cathy was here as well.. with her nanny Alquea and their familiars.

"Ohhhhhh! Are they the famous Karma and Helen~!? Cuteeeeeeeee~!"

There was a cute-looking white tortoise present on the dining table before Rex and a biiiiiiiiig swan that was thrice the size of Cathy sitting right behind her with a happy expression.

They were their familiars, as well as some of the most amazing creatures currently present on this planet, and of course, they were special.

'Very special in their own way, truthfully..'
