Day 14:
I woke up to an adorably beautiful sight.
My dear Ayanna was cuddled up to the most beautiful women in the group.
A Busty beautiful fiery red head by the name of Natasha Livingston.
She was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, only being rivalled by Ayanna’s adorableness.
She had a perfectly ample body that looked delicious.
Her face was something that only the Gods themselves could create.
Her fiery red hair put all the reds and oranges I had ever seen to shame.
This lady was someone I wanted, but I was of course a perfect gentlemen and had all the time in the world to court her, so there was no need to rush.
The other girls in the group’s names were Sonya, Ela, Patrisha, Varia, Eliana, Amanda, Samantha, Shaely, Katya, Katiya and Kayita.
The last three were sisters and twins. I mean triplets.
All of them beautiful of course.
The children were too annoying to converse with so I didn’t exactly know their names.
I recall a Ricky, Jalal and James along with Ayanna’s new best friend, Sylvia.
None of the others in particular.
I was too focused on the beauties.
Anyways I had learnt this all yesterday when I returned from my expedition to Black Tooth.
I spent several hours listening to them all talk about how they got captured and the like.
Shockingly only half of the group had been captured by orcs and they were the beauties.
The children had all been sold by their parents.
If I ever met the scum I would show them some Black Tooth level conversing.
I asked the girls if they had any family to return to and I was met with the answer that their villages were razed.
They had no family to return to.
I face palmed at myself. Of course they had no homes or family to return to. They were raided by bloody orcs.
And for that reason I have to reason to rush in my conquest of these beautiful ladies.
I was a despicable asshole, thinking via lust.
But at least I was looking after them.
So I guess that made me a nice and helpful guy with alternate reasons.
I glanced towards Ayanna and saw her hugging Natasha tightly which Natasha returned in kind.
Such a beautiful scene, now if only I could be there in between them.
We would then look like a father, mother and daughter.
A splendid looking family.
I shook my head to clear away my fantasies and looked around for Kaiser.
Sense I couldn’t see him I instead felt for him.
He was just outside the clearing of our camp huddled over something.
I tried to feel for it but I couldn’t make out what he was huddled over, but it didn’t matter as Kaiser had picked up whatever it was and was heading back towards our location.
I watched Kaiser emerge from the forest with a giant boar in his hands and a large grin plastered on his face.
He dropped the boar silently and then went to work skinning it.
I waved to him to signify I was awake and he waved back acknowledging me being awake.
I silently made my away across the clearing towards Kaiser just as he had finished processing half the boar.
He sure does fast work, or was it that I was just a slow walker?
Anyways, I sat down near Kaiser and looked at him.
MC: “Kaiser I have a task for you, but you may not like it” I told him and waited for him to respond.
He simply continued skinning the boar until it was finished before cleaning himself with a rag he had magically procured and tidying up the mess he made.
He then looked at me and smiled.
Kaiser: “My god, I will do anything you ask of me, but I know it won’t be anything evil since you are too kind to the innocent” his blunt words made a large impact on me. How the hell was I kind? Look what I did to Black Tooth, but he did say innocent. I guess I am kind to the innocent I thought as I looked back to my sleeping group. “May I please know what this task in my god?” Kaiser asked me this which made me turn back around to face him.
MC: “I really don’t want to talk to Umthra” I stated this to Kaiser “Why you ask? Because I have this huge instinctual feeling that if I go there I will be forced to take command of their clan. I really don’t want any more responsibility” even though I was the one who wished to talk to Umthra, a long night of thinking made me come to some conclusions. Anyways once I had said this, Kaiser simply laughed. A bit loudly as he caused some of the light sleepers to stir. “Don’t laugh this is serious Kaiser. I want you to go to Umthra and tell her that her clan has my blessing, and that is all. Nothing else do you understand Kaiser? Do not accept anything from her. Not the clan, not her members, maybe her females. Nothing at all. Okay?” now Kaiser had become silent.
Kaiser: “Fine my god. I understand. I will go and give them your blessing and I will reject all else. When do you wish for me to go?” he asked me, still grinning broadly. I sighed, seriously sometimes Kaiser irritated me.
MC: “It will take me around an hour or two to finish cooking this” I said gesturing to the skinned boar “So if you go now, you can probably make it back in time for breakfast” I stated in a matter of fact way. Kaiser simply nodded and got up bolting into the forest.
I of course began to slowly prepare the food.
I started up a fire which took me some time, then I gathered wood for the fire before finally finishing a proper fireplace.
Then I found some thin but durable, yet long pieces of wood and skewered the pieces of the boar.
The cooking had a magical aroma, it was incredible.
My head had gone blank after my continuous dreams of devouring the boar.
I slowly recovered myself from my shameful display and realized that my body worked without the need of my head.
Maybe this was the fruits of my cooking skill?
I sighed in irritation as I thought of yet another question that I couldn’t answer.
Why on earth did I not get an Instruction book with my entrance to this world?
Nonetheless I concentrated on cooking the boar meat, which took me time.
I turned it at the perfect moment every single time, letting not a single part of the meat overcook or undercook.
Everything was being cooked perfectly.
And I did it all somewhat instinctively. This god damned cooking skill is great I thought to myself.
As I was stuck in my own world attempting to create the most perfect boar dish without any spices or extra ingredients I had somehow missed the fact that I had woken everyone in the group with the incredible smell of perfect boar.
I looked around at the group and saw that some of the children had a look as if they would just attack the boar then and there, but these kids were being kept near the girls.
These girls were quite good. They have barely been together for 2 days and the girls know the personality of all of these brats.
I nodded in approval before once again focusing on the boar only to be distracted as Ayanna had somehow got close to me without realizing and had sat down right next to me.
I smiled at her and patted her head gently and I think she purred.
No it must be my imagination.
Anyways this got me thinking that maybe my sensing skill didn’t bother to alert me to the presence of people I consider allies?
Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website.
With annoyance I added ‘test sensing skill’ to my list of things to find out.
I had this instinctive feeling that I should cut the meat in specific locations so I did so, but when I did I was blasted with an incredible smell.
I stopped myself from drooling as I didn’t want to look stupid in front of this many people.
But then I realized everyone else was drooling as well.
I shook my head in disbelief at the cooking skill.
It was just too fantastic.
The now cut up boar began to have its insides cooked at a different pace when compared to the outside.
These two different areas complimented each other incredibly as I now had this god like looking cooked boar.
I don’t know how long I had been cooking for but I began to sense Kaiser.
That must mean I have been cooking for longer than two hours.
God dammit how did I lose track of two hours?
It feels like it’s been less than 10 minutes.
But immediately all of my other thoughts were discarded as my cooking sense activated.
I immediately began to put the fire on a very low flame so as to keep the boar meat nice, warm and tender but not hot enough to continue cooking it.
I then waited patiently until the boar meat had become perfect.
I had this innate feeling that it would be ready in five minutes.
But no one else knew how long it would take which made the kids fidget in anticipation at this incredible dinner.
I could see them becoming impatient with me, but I ignored them.
I would not settle for anything less than perfect boar. No one could make me settle for less than perfect boar, not even these super adorable children.
Kaiser had exited from the forest but now that I felt him properly I could feel two other things with him.
I turned around to look at Kaiser slowly and then I saw his face with a wry smile on it.
And his hands.
In each of his hands he carried a child.
He carried two exactly alike children with him. He carried twins in his arms..
I looked at him with my emotionless face and I could see the beads of sweat begin to form on his forehead.
Everyone else had followed my head turning and now Kaiser had every single pair of eyes in the camp staring at him carrying two children.
Kaiser: “My god, I swear I can explain this to you” Kaiser began to speak but I put my hand up and silenced him. I was really god damned curious at what had happened but I think I know exactly what had transpired. Nonetheless I gestured for him to come closer to me and he did so, the worry in his face evident.
MC: “We can talk later, come and sit down, bring the kids as well. It’s time for breakfast” and with that I turned away from Kaiser.
I smiled as I thought of what excuse he would use, but nonetheless the meat was finished.
How Kaiser got convinced to take to bear men cubs can be discussed later.
My hands moved to the boar meat and all pairs of eyes followed mine, including Kaiser and the two new kids who also had expressions of pure joy as they looked at the meat.
As my hand touched the meat everyone’s eyes became filled with envy but I smiled and ripped off a piece and passed it to Ayanna who became teary eyed at the meat and began to dig in.
I then did the same thing until every single child had a piece of meat.
They were crying from joy.
Was it seriously that good? Nonetheless now that kids all had a piece of meat I moved on to the females.
I gave them all a slightly bigger piece and they also chowed down like they were being embraced by heaven itself.
Now everyone was eating there meat with pure ecstasy. Aside from me and Kaiser.
Kaiser was also looking at the meat but I was looking at him.
MC: “We are not going to eat until you explain yourself Kaiser” I stated in a matter of fact way, but my stomach was going insane. I imagined my stomach being held down by my other organs, but it appeared to be a losing battle. Kaiser had best hurry up with his excuse I thought to myself.
Kaiser had bullets of sweat brace his forehead he then looked at me and his eyes showed an infinite amount of apologies.
So much that it hurt me to look into his eyes.
God damn it, how the hell does a 3+ metres tall orc have such god damned effective puppy dog eyes?
Kaiser: “My lord, Umthra like you said tried to give the clan to you, then her members, then her females then-“ I cut him off there.
MC: “Where are the females?” I asked Kaiser my head turning left and right looking for them. Kaiser instead began to grin.
Kaiser: “‘Nothing at all, Okay’ you said those exact words to me my god” Kaiser said with a grin on his face.
MC: “That isn’t nothing” I said pointing to the two bear men cubs. “What is your excuse Kaiser, I am seriously hungry” I told him. Kaiser’s grin was gone as he realized what he had done.
Kaiser: “My apologies my god. They were too adorable” Kaiser said and hanged his down in shame. I instead sighed.
Seriously, this guy destroyed all Orc Stereotypes that have ever existed.
MC: “Forget it” I said and ripped a large chunk of boar for myself “Dig in Kaiser” I said before burying my face in the boar.
When my mouth tasted the cooked boar meat, I cried tears of joy.
I glanced at Kaiser with tears flowing down my cheeks, only to see him having the same reaction, before realizing everyone was crying over the indescribable boar meat.
But before I could wipe my eyes and continue eating my face was embraced with an annoying blue box.
[Cooking] has Evolved
[Flavour of the Gods] Unlocked
Why? And how? Were the first questions I thought to myself.
Why the hell did I unlock such an incredible skill?
It didn’t matter for now, but I added ‘find the reason for this blessing’ to my to do list.
After an hour of crying and eating, the boar was finished.
Everyone present had an expression of joy on their faces.
I felt happy and sad at this.
I was happy because they were happy, but I was sad because of what we were supposed to do after breakfast.
We were going to March.
We were going to leave our camp and March through orc territory while the Black Tooth Clan fought with one of the big clans until we could reach the other side and enter human territory.
I looked at everyone relaxing and then to Kaiser.
He nodded at my direction signifying he was ready so I nodded back.
I got up and looked at them all.
MC: “I am sorry to say this, but we are packing up and leaving. We can’t stay here forever we have to find a new home for you all. So up you go, we leave in 10 minutes” and with that I turned away from them all and moved towards Kaiser so they wouldn’t be able to complain, as they were all still wary of Kaiser.
We had to find a new home and were not going to find it by relaxing in this clearing.
God bless us, I thought.
This will probably be one hell of a journey.
