-How dare you playing around with a maiden heart..!-

After i put on some simple clothes he brings me to the dining hall.

It's a simple cardigan with shorts.

The fuck! So you had some normal clothes after all !

He start to make a excuse that he just getting them for me recently, but i just don’t believe it!

Why is the size is so fit for me? Guilty! There's a guilty repeat offender here! Police!

Then,

because i’m still weak, he offers to bring my hand until we reach dining hall.

I want to refuse that, but its the truth that my body feels so weak that i can’t help it.

Actually he even offers to carry me, but i refuse!

That’s something that i cannot allow into!

As if being treated like a kid is not enough. If he dares to carry me around this time, i will research some dangerous virus that is only targeting to kill a human man.

How? Hmm.. i can just ask friend to teach me. He was not a human so i’m sure it's fine.

Ah but can this guy even considered a human anymore? He was almost immortal right.. Shit, thats cheating.

Thinking like that, i bring my weakened body into some place like a dining hall

…..

I reach the room.

It’s a normal like dining room similar with japan, with dining table, rice cooker, and dining set.

Seriously, just how much effort and time did he made for this whole strange place?

After that, i sit in the chair beside the dining table.

“I’ll cook something for you, please wait for awhile”

Hmm? He cook by himself? I’m fine even with cup noodles you know. I start to miss some japan food.

The food in another world is.. yeah, as expected. Horrible compare to the previous world.

Especially the hygiene.. i would be lucky to not find a worm inside their vegetables.

“...”

I exhale my breath.

Honestly, considering my condition just sitting here feels painful.

It doesn't seems like it's just normal damage to my body, it's like its even corride my whole being.

I would definitely be erased without a trace if i receive that explosion fully.

But i’m still irritated..

the reason because

“I seriously hope they won’t start the  festival without me!”

Being leaved alone while they’re doing the party is the thing i couldn't stand!

Ah, but it would be bad if they stopped working in case they worried i’m gone..

Well i think my friend and oo-kun can handle that, but still...

I need to recover faster and regain my strength! otherwise i would be too late..!

Then i should think of the continuity of the plan for now... Hmm, the part where it was the most effective, how to seriously hurt the enemies by attacking the place they don't want the most.. Wiped them out in one breath, while they're being paralyzed.. No, would it be fine to just wait for them to kill each other? I can maximize the profit while minimize my side casualties.. I can just provoke each other to eat greedily then taking it like hyena..

“I’d appreciate if you didnt made such a scary face while we eating..”

Hearing that, Iskandar returns bringing some food

Ah, how long did i got distracted.. bad, i didn't even realize him.

Saying that, he put the food in the table.

It’s a simple salmon bento set meal with miso soup. a Exemplary of japanese food.

“…”

*GRUUUK KRUUUK*

Crap...

My stomach is rumbling non stop, and i can't stop drooling from the aroma.

Then, without hesitation...

I said itadakimasu, and quickly gobble it ..!

*munch munch nom nom*

“So fast!? Wait, are you eating or drinking? Don't try to gobble the plate too!”

I ignore him and keep attacking.. i mean, eating.

So good..! So delicious..!

Eating white rice feels like i’m inside the clouds, the salmon feels like a luxury grade steak.

The soy sauce fits well deserved to be called a premium goods wrapping the salmon.

Even the vegetables feels so fresh that it feels like i’m eating handkerchief until now..!

The miso soup feels like a fresh water among the great desert in the middle of sahara…!

aah..

I’m reborn.

Like a baby born from their mother womb.

I’m really, really feels glad to be alive

Ahh..

It’s a bliss.

It’s happiness…

..Thank you, salmon. Thank you white rice, thank you miso soup!

You are, truly, an exemplary product of the country of rising sun.

-One hour later-

When i come to, all of the food in the table is gone.

“You.. can really eat huh? I originally made it for two, but before i realize it i cook for more than for ten person instead..”

Seeing i eat so fast, he start to cooked another various things.

Ramen, hamburger, fried rice.. i lost count on how much he made.

Every thing that he made is delicious, it's all good!

I never realize how precious the joy of eating can reach.

Seriously, whoever think that arts is better than food must be the stupidest person in the universe.

It’s true, finding a new food is more enjoyable than finding a new star!

Ahh.. i want to eat it forev…...

…

…..

……

………

…………

…………...

“AARGHHHHH!”

“Eh? What's wrong?”

I realize something terrible...

This bastard!

That was dangerous. I almost made a death flag...

He know,

he knows it!

He knows that this food is impossible to eat anywhere in this world expect this place!

I can try to made something similar, but,with my useless cooking skills and not knowing how to made the soy sauce and dashi in this world it would end up in failure!

He planned to changed my body little by little, and trying to made me dependent for not being able to live without him!

If that succeed, i would become his toy without any will to resist! To be played at until the end of my wretched lives!

A dependency lives! A ensnared trap made by food! A gluttonous pig trapped with greed, that-is-me!

Feeling despair looking at my future, i start to look at him with a sharp eye.

Dangerous

What are you trying to do to me this fucking assholeeeee..!

“You bastard…”

“!?”

“Playing with my pure feelings (food) as much as you like... Treating me as you like, toying and baiting me while i am weak..! Using my body as much as you like...! Dancing inside your thumbs all along! With such a devious and terrible inhumane trap...! (food)”

“Unforgivable, Unacceptable...”

“??????”

Iskandar looked confused instead.

Then,

Ignoring him, i put out all of my remaining antimatter bomb each between my finger.

“DIEE..!”

“WHOA!? NOT THIS AGAIN!?”

Seemingly panicked, Iskandar surprised

…..

*haa haa.. haah haah..*

*huff huff.. fuu fuuh..*

Inside this chaotic dining room, we looked haggard and tired while staring at each others.

Because i’m still in bad condition, he manage to snatch it this time and stopped it in time before it exploded.

Hmm? This time i can letting it out rather easily than before. Could it be, i got stronger?

Checking my status... Now loading.

Yeah,

i have reach the transcended.

I just started with lv 100 though.

My health is still not full and my status decreased alot like i’m in a status effect condition.

Perhaps, i would feel the difference once i recovered enough.

“..haah, seriously. Gimme a break wouldn't you?”

Saying that, he let out a small pouch.

And all of the antimatter bomb is stored there instantly like a vacuum.

Hmm? Is it like a item box? but modeled after pouch?

Just like i thought,

he can't use space magic huh? Or perhaps even..

“You know, i have no talent in magic other than psychical enchantment. So please stop using your storage everywhere like that. Especially if it was filled with such a dangerous item”

Hmm? But didnt you said you change your bodies using the same magic like goddess?

“That was using something called your spirit instead of magic power. Anyone can use it as long they comprehend the complex pattern and enough willpower. Also there's a individual difference for the bodies store there”

Ahh i see. Learning it seems difficult.

Yep, i probably wouldn't even remember the formula even if it took my whole life.

“That's why even my previous body can do it. But it took me 100 years to learn”

Okay, impressive dedication! I won’t be able to do that!. Forget it, bye.

“Anyway..”

He stare at me.

“How.. did you get those bomb? I thought they’re inside the forbidden chamber”

Forbidden?

Ahh...

That ominous looking room deep inside Goddess basement huh? The one with a lot of locked door and stuff? With some biohazard symbol inside?

Well, if i looked into such a obvious “i don't want anyone to come here” place it actually tingle my sadistic side and i want to poke them further you know?

I can only manage to push through the first door, but there's still a door inside that i can't manage to open further.

Hearing that, he frowned.

“Didnt you even think how abnormal that room located or how dangerous it would be? Well.. i guess it's too late”

“So”

He stare at me again.

“You have another thing that you had taken from there, don't you?”

Hearing that, i only reply quickly “Nope. not at all” with the best poker face i got so he didn't realize my lie.

But he got suspicious instead seeing me acting so good and starting to get persistent while nagging me.

I got carried away and start to provoke him “Yeah, i have them. So what? You think you can force me? Hah! i know you cannot kill me because of your protagonist disease. So? What are you gonna do about it? What if i don't want to give it? What are you gonna do, huuh? Gonna suicide in front of me? Beg with a harakiri instead? Ahaha!”

Hearing that,

he start to bring me like a luggage to somewhere.

Whoa! Careful! I didn't expect him to be so forceful. But, don't think i will open my mouth! If you try to force me, then i will retaliate with using all of the item i stored from there!

While thinking like that,

he bring me into a familiar room.

It was a laundry room with a giant washing machine.

“....”

Oii you bastard, not, this, shit again!

Knowing i panicked inside, he start to tease me.

“If you’re being obedient and not getting naughty, i might not give you a punishment and reward you instead, you naughty kitten?”

YOU!

WHAT HAPPENED WITH ALL OF YOUR REGRET!? YOUR APOLOGIZE!?

YOU THINK YOU CAN FORCE ME WITH A BRUTE FORCE!? MAKING ME BEND INTO YOUR WILL? LIKE A OBEDIENT SLAVE?

HAH!

TRY IT

TRY IT IF YOU CAN!

NO FORCE IN THIS WORLD, OR ANOTHER WORLD CAN FORCE ME TO DO WHAT I DON’T WANT TO!

TRY TO STRUGGLE, TRY TO HOPING ALL YOU WANT

IT’S ALL GONNA BE IN VAIN!

NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU TRY, YOUR VOICE WON'T BE HEARD!

YOU WILL DESPAIR ALONE WITHOUT ANYBODY TO PAID ATTENTION TO YOU

HAHAHA

YOUR STRUGGLE IS A MUSIC TO MY EARS

“I will give you a food like that everyday”

Hearing that,

I froze.

Seemingly not missing it, Iskandar makes a smile.

“If you don't want to come here, how about sending someone to take it?”

“I still have teleportation device, its old but probably worked. You can just made a checkpoint to this place and yours and sending someone to fetch it everyday. How about it?”

“…”

Pfft

Nice try

You thought i would be tempted, but i won't!

Even if you promise everyday, there's no guarantee for how long!

Furthermore something like that is only a temporary.

Once you got lazy to cook, you can just made any excuse you want! And the weak me cannot even complain!

My determination is as hard as mountain, and taller than a tokyo tower!

Something like this, will not faze me!!

“Ah, i just remembered”

Iskandar replied.

“I can give you a lifetime guarantee. Truthfully i can use my clone technique to made that without effort at all. If you’re still suspicious i don't mind to use a contract scroll imbued with contract magic. How about it?”

…..

“....”

Fuh...

Fuck it.

Screw you.

Die.

You thought i have a such a weak resolve !?

You think i’m such a easy woman easily baited by a food!?

Something like that...

is trivial before my pride

But, too bad!

What i want go do, is already decided since the beginning!

What i want, is already determined...

No matter what obstacle, no matter what waits beyond.

I won't stop once i start!

Yes..

This determination...

I will let him realize that!

Making a smile, i replied with all of my might!

“Let us made the contract!!”

I said that,

without any hesitation in my eyes.
