Shoujo Grand Summoning

Chapter 1287: Quid pro quo

Chapter 1287: Quid pro quo

Ansullivan Dragonar Academy, Epona Dorm, Royal suite...

Rebecca, Silvia, and Cossette stared at the table filled with steaming-hot dishes and saliva-inducing meals.

The dishes were works of art that made Silvia gulp in anticipation. Wu Yan placed another plate on the table before Silvia asked him.

"Y-you made all of these?"

"Holy..."

Rebecca gasped.

"Isn't this too gorgeous?"

It is stunning.

He used his knife to carve the meals into contemporary art. It is fair to say these dishes belonged in high-end experimental restaurants.

He blended art with the gourmet experience.

Silvia and Rebecca weren't sure if they should eat beautiful pieces of art like what Wu Yan made. However, the fragrance of the dishes made them drool.

"President, Princess, these were made by Lord Rowan himself."

Cossette vouched for Silvia.

"I watched him do it from start to finish. There can be no mistakes."

Cossette floated a curious look.

Cossette has never seen Wu Yan in action but she already gathered enough intel on Wu Yan to say she knows much about him.

She was the one who told Silvia about Wu Yan's backdoor enrollment.

She assumed he was just another VIP. Now, she is sure this guy is an outlier, a special existence among students.

Godly dragon riding skills.

A Dragonar of unknown origins.

Genius dragon tamer.

These were the assessments the students gave him, changing his negative reputation to a positive one in only one academic term.

Now, he made dishes that Cossette couldn't help but praise. She can tell he had skills.

More importantly, Wu Yan is the first one to call her mistress by her first name. Besides his uncanny knack for cooking, he is also the only one who peeled away Silvia's cold mask, revealing her real personality.

Cossette knew she had to pay attention to this new friend of Silvia. He might just be the catalyst of a great change in Silvia's life.

Unknown to him, Wu Yan placed the last plate of food on the table while Cossette made a mental note to keep observing Wu Yan.

"Food are made to be eaten. Dig in, don't hold yourselves back. I am going to go cook something for Cú Chulainn and Lancelot."

Wu Yan disappeared from view.

Rebecca and Silvia exchanged a look. They picked up their utensils. They sampled the first piece of meat. Like an impossibly soft umami meat, the food melted in their mouths, spreading jolts of ecstasy throughout their nervous systems. They were frozen in place.

"Princess? President?"

Cossette knew something was up when the ladies turned into statues.

"Excuse me..."

Cossette picked up some meat. She tasted it and instantly knew why the president and princess reacted like that.

"This is so good..."

Cossette finally realized how it wasn't vanity Wu Yan was exhibiting in the kitchen. He had the skills to back his claims up.

Truly, with this level of mastery, Cossette knew no one that came close.

She is no stranger to fine cuisine given her proximity to the princess and her role as her maid. She can also make good food but even she has to admit that she can't pull off this level of food preparation.

Rebecca and Silvia started munching on the dishes there after giving each other the look. They still retained elegance but were incredibly speedy in their dispatch of the food.

Cossette also went against her own code to eat only when her mistress finished. She reserved some of that food for herself.

"Whew..."

Rebecca and Silvia felt their tummies bloating when they finished up. Wu Yan returned after Cú Chulainn and Lancelot kept begging him for more of his "bribes".

"I was sure I can cook but I didn't think the president and princess would deign to eat until they look like this. I have to say I am quite shocked."

Rebecca and Silvia blushed. They turned their heads the other way to pretend like they didn't hear him.

"Fine..."

Wu Yan sat down near Rebecca and Silvia. He poured them cups of black tea.

"Come, quench yourselves with some tea."

The ladies looked at the cups of tea. They hesitated before pursing their lips, their eyes lit up.

"This is good tea..."

Silvia praised.

Rebecca also asked something that almost made Wu Yan trip.

"Rowan, are you really a man?"

"Okay, what makes you ask that?"

Wu Yan said.

"Which part of me isn't manly?"

"Can a man cook and brew tea so well?"

Rebecca asked.

"You can be honest, if you're a girl then we will still accept you. Heck, we can even go shopping together and take baths together."

Wu Yan seriously considered the offer when Rebecca said they could shower together.

However, he still admitted his real gender.

"Don't question my gender or I might have to resort to certain measures to prove it."

Silvia snorted while blushing.

"If my guards were near me then you would be looking at serious jail time for attempting to sully a princess' honor."

"Oh, so scary..."

Wu Yany pursed his lips. He tapped the dirty plates near him.

"After all I did to cook up a nice feast. To think there is someone so ungrateful in this world, oh, woe be me..."

"N-No, I am not!"

Silvia said.

"I will repay my debts. This is what it means to be a Lautreamont."

"Huh..."

Wu Yan was waiting for this. He grinned.

"So, princess, you recognize that you owe me a favor, right...?"

"Of course..."

Silvia mumbled.

"You already called me by my name, no need to call me princess."

"No problem."

Wu Yan answered.

"Now, Silvia, let me ask you..."

"Do you know anything about the Avalon Imperial Dragon family?"
