Despite this, Hoshino Sora was extremely satisfied watching the rapidly developing Gourmet Manor.
"Master, I have completed all the tasks you assigned. The Centaurs are arranged for hunting and patrolling, the Winged Ones for catching insects and fish, the Goblins are assigned as helpers to the Dwarves, and the Slimes...
Currently, the newly arrived races are integrating with us. It is estimated that they can begin production and labor tomorrow. However, with so many new races, the production structure must be adjusted, which will require a lot of time for practical implementation."
"I understand. I will come back after the competition ends in a couple of days. By then, the Gourmet Manor should continue to expand, and I'll have to trouble you with planning again.
You've worked hard, Windsor."
Looking at the dignified Windsor before him, and hearing her serious work report, Hoshino Sora nodded, a look of praise on his face. He then patted her shoulder as encouragement. It was truly his fortune to have such a thoughtful and capable female secretary!
"It's no trouble. It's my honor to work for Master!"
Hearing Hoshino Sora's praise, Windsor's face flushed slightly, filled with happiness. Looking at her Master so close, the girl's eyes were full of adoration and love.
"Eat more."
"Yes!"
Amidst laughter and joy, everyone quickly finished their lunch.
As it was still early, Eri Nai was not in a hurry to leave. She walked around the Gourmet Manor, getting to know the new race members while quietly developing many new dishes.
She stayed there all afternoon, making many original dishes with freshly picked mutated ingredients and inviting Hoshino Sora to taste them.
It must be said, God Tongue was indeed God Tongue. Her control over flavors was extremely precise. Even though many ingredients were used for the first time, she could skillfully master them simply by tasting them.
"No, it's still far from the taste I imagined. Continue!"
"No, this dish didn't bring out the full potential of the ingredients at all. It even lowered the original deliciousness of the ingredients. A complete failure!"
"This one is much better than the previous ones, but still..."
"Hoshino-kun, don't just stand there watching. Let's research dishes together!"
Although she had good control over the ingredient ratios, she couldn't achieve the desired taste. Eri Nai frowned slightly, then saw Hoshino Sora sitting in a chair with a relaxed expression. She immediately walked over and grabbed his arm, wanting him to join her.
There was no special reason, she simply wanted someone to work alongside her.
"Alright, alright, I'll accompany you, isn't that enough?"
Feeling the pull on his arm, Hoshino Sora said with a wry smile. He had only come to lend a hand, but he ended up being roped into it. Accompanying girls was truly difficult.
"Hmph, others would have to pay a huge price to get me to taste their dishes, yet you act as if you're wronged by just accompanying me, Hoshino-kun. You really don't know how good you have it."
Looking at Hoshino Sora's rather helpless expression, Eri Nai put her hands on her hips and said with dissatisfaction. Thinking of her influence in the culinary world, her small mouth pouted high, a look of displeasure on her face.
Did he not know the preciousness of God Tongue?! In the outside world, if a restaurant wanted to invite her to taste their dishes, they first had to make a reservation at Far Moon, and then pay an exorbitant tasting fee.
This was the charm of God Tongue! It could easily detect flaws in dishes, making it an essential treasure for chefs to quickly improve their skills! Yet, this guy in front of her looked completely unconcerned!
"I know the power of God Tongue, and I know Eri Nai is precious, but some things still need to be enjoyable to do. And clearly, I don't want to cook this afternoon.
I'm doing this because cooking with Eri Nai makes me happy, not because I need to use the power of God Tongue. Right now, I don't need to use the power of God Tongue. Right now, I just want you to be happy."
Hearing Eri Nai's words, Hoshino Sora was silent for a moment, seemingly thinking about how to respond. Soon, he had an answer in his mind. He grabbed Eri Nai's hand and spoke with deep affection.
"Hmm... Alright, I understand. You're being so mushy. Is it not enough that I was wrong? Hurry up and start cooking. I'm waiting to eat your dishes.
And also... if it's Hoshino-kun, you can use God Tongue however you want."
Hearing Hoshino Sora's incredibly passionate confession, Eri Nai couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. She lowered her head and reflected for a moment, then cast her gaze towards his lower abdomen.
"Then I'll have to experience the power of God Tongue later, won't I?"
"Come at me. Consider it compensation for my disrespectful words just now..."
Her cheeks were incredibly red, but there was nothing she could do. She had indeed said the wrong thing just now. God Tongue was very useful, but that wasn't what Hoshino Sora needed, and that was also a fact.
He was fulfilling her wish by cooking with her, yet she was scolding him for not being happy. Giving one's heart and receiving such a response would make no one happy.
So, she had to compensate him!
