Transmigrated as a Ghost

Chapter 810 810 Dinner And Breakfast

Upon their return to their room Marcus immediately got to work on preparing the new ingredients that he had obtained from the jungle.

"I believe that this one might do well for an appetizer. I could use this one to flavor some of the fish we caught while on the Ascension. Oh, and this one should be good as the topper for a cake." Marcus mumbled to himself excitedly as he sectioned out the new ingredients.

Swiftly, once he had decided on what to make her pulled out the freezer magic tool and took out a few filets.

'Accelerated defrosting.' Marcus thought, casting a tier one fire magic spell he had created.

It was something he had developed through much trial and error when attempting to find a way to warm up frozen foods faster without sacrificing any of their quality.

Thankfully magic was able to accomplish things that we normally not possible and the spell could defrost a fish in a couple of minutes without causing any damage to its flavor.

"Now I can use some of these wild mushrooms we found as the main ingredient in a risotto that will serve as an appetizer." Marcus said as he prepared a large pan.

He then took out some rice and broth from his item box and got to work.

Soon the smell of cooking permeated the entire suite, and Mrazivý who had just gotten out of a bath popped her head in with a curious expression on her face

"It smells good. What are you making?" She asked as she peered over Marcus' shoulder.

Quickly he told her what he had planned and once he was fairly certain it was ready took a small spoonful and held it out for Mrazivý to taste test.

"Hm, it is really good, but I think it could use just a little more cheese."

"Okay. I held back a little with the cheese to make sure the mushrooms were not overpowered, but they have a pretty distinct taste themselves, so I think more cheese would be fine." Marcus said after trying a bit himself and agreeing with Mrazivý.

Her own cooking skill had gone up since she liked to help Marcus out and her tongue was far more sensitive than his that only mimicked a normal human's.

Working together with Mrazivý, who was mostly acting as the taste tester, Marcus continued to cook a meal that used the ingredients they had gotten from the jungle and fished up from the ocean as the primary ingredients.

"And it is all ready except for the cake that needs to bake for a bit longer. But by the time we finish eating it should be ready." Marcus said once he was satisfied with the meal he had prepared.

Using his iron threads, he picked up all the dishes and brough them over to the table.

Then he and Mrazivý sat down and immediately started eating.

"You know the food on the ship was pretty good. But what you make always seems to turn out the best." Mrazivý said in between bites.

Other than a few comments such as the one Mrazivý had just made, they ate in relative silence and thoroughly examined the flavors and textures of the new ingredients they had picked up in the jungle.

Before long all of the food that Marcus had made was gone and all that was left were several empty plates.

"Here since you cooked allow me to clean up." Mrazivý said, collecting all of the dishes.

Of course, it was not like she was really going to have to wash the dishes herself and instead pulled out a magic tool that did the cleaning for her. Still, this was something most princes would never do themselves and showed how little Mrazivý actually cared for her status.

"Looks like the cake is almost finished cooking." Marcus said to himself while sticking his ethereal head into the oven to gauge where the cake was at.

Around five minutes later he was confident it was cooked to perfection and took it out to cool.

"Mraz would you do the honors."

"Yeah. No problem." She said as she held her and out.

Immediately the heat coming off of the cake began to dissipate as she cooled it down using her ice magic.

Once it was at around room temperature Marcus began dressing the cake with a coconut frosting he had made and then topped it with a number of different fruit they had found in the jungle.

"And it is complete. I believe we can call these the jungle's bounty cake." Marcus said with a proud smile on his face.

He then cut out a piece for Mrazivý who was practically jumping up and down in excitement and handed it to her.

"How is it?" Marcus asked after Mrazivý took the first bite.

"Truly delicious. I think I might want some every day." She said with a look that showed how taken she was with the cake.

The coconuts themselves had already proved to be to her liking and the cake that had a frosting that used them as an ingredient apparently was very suited to her tastes

Cutting out his own piece Marcus took a taste as well and was actually surprised how good it was.

He had naturally tried everything individually already to make sure that all of the ingredients were up to his standards, but all together they blended better than he had imagined.

"I can see what you mean. It really is good. Perhaps I will need to collect enough from the jungle to be able to make it frequently."

After they had finished their first slice, they both went back for a second, and then a third, until the entire cake was gone.

Luckily neither of them had any problems with consuming large qualities of food as Mrazivý's metabolism as a dragonoid was far higher than a human's and Marcus was still not exactly sure what happened to the food he ate.

Having sighed their dessert, Mrazivý used the cleaning magic tool to make the kitchen spottles again, before turning to Marcus.

"Since you went out of your way to make such a fine dinner, I will make breakfast tomorrow. Would you mind leaving a few ingredients out for me?" She said before listing off everything she needed.

Marcus was happy to oblige and emptied out everything Mrazivý had asked for from his item box.

For the rest of the night the two of them sat around reading to pass the time until they finally felt that it was late enough to go to sleep.

"Good night, Mraz. Tomorrow we can go around and check out the facilities on the island."

"Yeah, I cannot wait." She said before giving Marcus a quick kiss and shutting off the lights in their room.

…

'Something smells good.' Marcus thought as he regained consciousness.

He could see that the sun was just rising up over the horizon signaling it was morning.

And when he looked to his left, he found that Mrazivý had already gotten up as expected.

'I suppose I should go see what she is making.'

Getting out of bed Marcus swiftly changed the shape of his magical clothing and entered into the servants' area where the kitchen was and where Mrazivý was cooking.

Yet the second he stepped in and saw her he froze in utter shock.

She was currently standing over several pans and cooking while wearing an apron. Only and apron

It was such a surreal sight that Marcus could only stand there and stare at her until she turned around and smiled at him.

"Breakfast is not quite ready yet, but if you wait at the table, I will have it done shortly."

Still, Marcus made no attempt to move and just continued to stare at Mrazivý in disbelief, until his brain was finally able to process what was going on.

"Mraz, what are you- why are you wearing that?!" Marcus asked in a fluster.

She then, not caring about how shocked Marcus was spun around and showed off the entire apron. Among other things.

"It seems that Jaela was right. She told me that this was part of the culture back on your original world and that all newly married women should wear this for their husbands on occasion." Mrazivý said, a mischievous smile on her face. Happy that Marcus seemed so worked up.

In response, he let out a low groan and rubbed his face, while thinking, 'What are you teaching her about Earth, Jaela. She is going to end up with a bunch of misconceptions at this rate.'

However, judging by the pleased look on her face Marcus doubted that Mrazivý was not going to pull this trick out again in the future just to rile him up.

Doing his best to calm down Marcus sat down at the table and waited for Mrazivý to finished cooking.

Then after they had eaten Marcus explained exactly what she was doing meant.

"I see, I figured it must have been something like that since she was very Instinet that I only wear the apron. Still, I am surprised that you did not pounce on me if this is considered an invitation." Mrazivý said as she gave Marcus a sultry gaze.

"I simply did not want to ruin any of the food that you worked so hard to make. Now that we are done eating."

With swift movements Marcus appeared right next to Mrazivý and lifted her out of her chair into a princess carry.

"I think I have been on the receiving end for a bit too long now. It is time I go back on the offensive." He said as he carried his wife into the bedroom.
