Chapter 452 Taking A Small Break

FSSSHH!

The sound of slices of tender meat being fried over a large pan could be heard through the grassland-like dungeon. The meat of the moles was surprisingly tender and just ideal to fry over a pan with some oil, salt and pepper. The smell of the meat quickly filled everybody's nostrils, as hunger was the only thing in our minds and bodies.

At the side, I had also cut down a large pile of meat into small chunks, and was boiling it alongside potatoes, carrots, onions, tomatoes, and other spices with water, to make a quick meat and potato stew, which had a beautiful and distinctive red color. It has a very similar flavor to tomato sauce but with potatoes and other things added into the mix to make it a full meal. With the fried slices of meat at the side, things were getting almost ready.

Of course, it can't be a good meal without a bit of alcohol, we are all drunk bastards here after all, we enjoy our wine in our meals, so I quickly took out a big barrel from my Inventory, which was one of the high quality wines we have been enjoying! This was a wine we got from Julia back in her duchy.

"Ahhh, I am so hungry! I want to eat! I want to eat already!" Partner cried, the twins were also with her, drooling over the food being prepared.

I was honestly surprised how well the three went along, it felt like they were triplets instead.

"Can we eat yet?" Takeshi wondered.

"Not yet honey." I said, slowly looking at the stew.

"And now?" Asked Laura.

"Not yet dear." I sighed.

"And what about now?" Takeshi insisted, hugging my hips and looking at the food from behind me.

"Baby, wait a bit okay?" I sighed, petting his head and fluffy ears. He was too cute so I couldn't resist to give him a kiss on his forehead. "Mommy will get your food soon, so have patience! Go help uncle Lucifer… err, go help him do whatever he's up to."

"Okaaay…"

Takeshi and Laura walked away, and funnily enough, Partner stayed and took Takeshi's place. She began kissing my neck seductively, and even tried to give me a little bite, but I had no blood so it ended in a futile attempt at feeding from me.

"There's no blood there." I sighed with a smile, giving her a kiss.

"Uugh… I want Master's blood… When will you get blood of your own?" Partner had begun asking me this for a while. Apparently Vampires that were in love had some sort of fetish where they like to drink the blood of their partner's neck seductively.

"Technically never." I sighed. "You have my own bones but I doubt your blood is mine, as you're a complete new being altogether."

"Huhh…" Partner pouted a bit.

"Maybe if I ever become a goddess or something, I could get a body and blood? I don't know… I think the Goddess of Death got blood." I said while looking at the stew and taking a small piece of potato, giving it a bite.

It was soft and tasty; I think the stew is ready.

"Heheh… Well, I can always grab these too…" Partner smiled smugly as she grasped my breasts.

"Geez! We are about to eat…" I sighed.

"What's wrong aren't I your girlfriend too? So I have privileges!" Partner puffed her chest.

"H-Hold on there, Partner! D-Don't get ahead of yourself!" Emeraldine rushed towards us after she saw Partner doing something rather mischievous. She was currently using the Magic Cauldron to make some more Alchemy Clay for practice, saying she needed a lot for what she wanted to make.

Partner was quickly stopped by Emeraldine as she got slightly angry of being interrupted from her favorite activity.

"W-What's wrong? You got your turn the other day!" Partner complained.

"I-It is not right to do this in front of children, Partner!" Emeraldine reprimanded her.

"Aw geez, they're not even looking!" Partner crossed her arms, pointing at the kids who were playing over the big dragon body of Lucifer.

"W-Well still!" Emeraldine said.

"Okay, okay, you two can calm down a bit? You both will have the chance to do anything you want tonight but for now let's concentrate on eating. Aren't you all hungry?" I sighed.

"R-Right…" Partner said, quickly going back to her hungry mood.

However, Emeraldine was blushing as her long ears flapped excitedly about what I had said earlier.

"A-Anything?" She asked with embarrassment.

"Yeah… Do you have something in mind? Fufu~?" I asked teasingly.

"T-That's… M-Maybe…" Emeraldine said while fidgeting her fingers.

She was surprisingly perverted deep down to be so pure looking.

"Anyways! Let's eat! Hey kids! Lucifer! Come eat!"

I called everyone as we gathered around a large table I also brought out of my Inventory, alongside seats and everything else needed. I served several plates as we began eating merrily, we were all hungry.

Even me, who shouldn't feel hunger! The more the [Materialization] Skill leveled up, the more "real" my own stomach felt, even more, I even had the [Abyss Eater], [Phantasmal Stomach], [Sin of Gluttony], and the Ultimate Skill, which all enhanced my hunger!

It seems that evens as a ghost entity, my very body uses tons of magic to just exists, the same that living beings use tons of energy to continue living, so I need to absorb a lot of energy to convert into magic, which become my "nutrients" in a way.

I am too strong so I doubt I could die out of hunger or something, but I'll certainly grow weaker and will not be at 100% if I don't eat a lot to compensate for my powerful Phantasmal/Demonic/Spiritual/Whatever Else body I have.

The meat and the stew were indeed delicious, the fried steaks I made were tasty and soft, the stew was comforting and warm, and the wine and bread went well with everything, it was a very nice lunch inside the dungeon~!

However, there were important topics to talk about right now…

"Alright, now that we are all gathered and eating, let's discuss what just happened…"
