"Whoa! What happened here?" Pio earned himself another point of favorability from his woman once he stopped her and stood in front of her protectively while asking that.

"More importantly is where did these Fuzzy-Phosphorus Mice come from?" Lucas arrived with old man Todd and stood at the edge of the wide hole then kept searching for the tunnel these rodents make to travel below the ground, but he frowned because he couldn't see any traces of them at all.

"Grandpa Todd, Auntie Betty. Young master says wait for him at the cabin and make use of that time by making him something to eat with these." Sherry climbed the wooden stairs carefully before finally making it to the surface before handing the items in her arms to the two cooks.

Betty frowned because most of these things she couldn't even recognize!

"Is that oil? So clear and fragrant... That's! What a sweet and strong honey! This flour is perfectly grounded... how did young master Ron remove the casing of the seed?"

Old man Todd ignored Betty's remarks and handed her a block of Cheese and a smaller block of Butter while saying : "Check out that Cheese and Butter! I've never seen or heard of Cheese and Butter that smells and tastes so good in my long life, there's also this meat which is wrapped in that weird and surprisingly strong and elastic material."

The teenager girl smiled when she saw the reactions of these two food-enthusiasts before saying : "Come. Follow me, I'll tell you guys all about these items.

"This is Turkish-Cheese, that meat in grandpa Todd's hand is a "Fat-Sausage!" while that dark-green glass bottle in auntie Betty's hand is Virgin-Olive oil... that's a block of Salted-Butter.

"This here is a jar of Strawberry-Jam which is a type of fruit with a high content of sugar, these paper bags contain Sugar and this is Rock-Salt, Ionized-Salt, Kosher-Salt, Table-Salt, Sea-Salt... don't ask me what they're for because young master Ron is ordering you to use this Table-Salt or this Ionized-Salt to cook his meals for now until you learn the difference.

"These little glass containers are "Spices" Young master Ron says that you wouldn't be able to recognize most of them so stick to what you know and he's going to tell you when and how to use the rest of the Spices.

"These white seeds in this bag are called "Rice" and young master Ron also says to wait for him to teach you how to cook it, these weird shaped things in these bags are called "Pasta" and he say's they're easy to prepare if you throw some of them in the water and let them boil until they become soft instead of hard.

"But it'd be better to put a pinch or two of Salt in the water first and a bit of Oil, young master Ron also said don't stir it too much or you might end up mashing the Pasta which isn't going to be that good when it loses its original shape.

"This is Vinegar, Cornstarch, Panko, Oats, Garlic, Onions, Tomatoes, Potatoes, Green-Pepper, Bell-Pepper, Vanilla-extract, and this here is "Baking-Powder" and these Red Jars are "Salsa" or simply Tomato Paste. Just don't ask because I really don't know." Sherry kept pointing at stuff and both Betty and old man Todd kept following her hand with their eyes while trying to memorize the names and link them with the information she gave them.

The girl placed the stuff in her hands at the kitchen table, "There's raw chicken breasts and beef slabs in these invisible boxes, you should prepare them quickly because young master Ron has been eating ten-times as much as what you see in here since early in the morning and we're barely in the afternoon. Just holler if you need anything." Then she smiled at the two cooks staring at one another in shock and left the kitchen submerged in dead silence.

Betty looked at the amount of food in the kitchen before imagining ten-times the amount being eaten by the kid in a matter of a few hours while thinking : 'The boy's belly wasn't even bloated or anything like that... where did all that food go in that small body of his?'

Finally Todd reacted while saying : "We better hurry! Young master Ron might break my legs because I don't have anything left for him to destroy if he's looking for something to vent his anger." The old cook stacked the firewood in the oven before using the flintstone to start the fire.

Betty tied her hair with a ribbon while nodding before preparing the utensils she's going to use to prepare the dough, afterwards she filled a huge metal pot with water and excitedly added some Salt and Oil before emptying two bags of Pasta inside it.

Todd on the other hand was cutting the Tomatoes, Potatoes, Onions, Garlic, and Pepper while making sure to taste everything and giving his partner a share of the experience.

Whenever they needed anything that's missing from this temporary and small kitchen they'd just call Pio, Lucas, or Sherry to get it for them!

Ten minutes or so later the kitchen door opened and Aaron went inside while sniffing at the air.

*Rumble*

"Damn it! I'm hungry again, but my HP is barely missing a small fragment... this Extreme Red Potion is working well to keep me out of danger." Aaron murmured to himself while looking around him at the two cooks which are busy at work.

"Old geezer."

Todd straightened his hunched back and stood at attention while saying : "Yes young master!"

The kid frowned when he saw the old man's extreme reaction, "Relax! I see that you've chopped quite a good deal of Potatoes, fry some of them in the Oil then take them out when they're orange-yellow and sprinkle some of this Salt and this Paprika-Powder."

"Right away." This time old man Todd was eager to do what he was told because his passion in life has always been to learn more things about food and to prepare them in his kitchen.

"Betty. This Pasta is done, empty the water and take it out in some bowl." Aaron stood on a chair and used a ladle to scoop some of the Pasta before giving that order while climbing down.

"Alright!" The woman called Pio and Lucas over from the living room and they helped her do the task outside because there's no way she's going to be able to do it and carry that huge Pot which is full of water alone!

"We need to prepare the Sauce for the Pasta, so watch and learn because next time I expect you to prepare it on your own with some type of Meat dish on the side and drinks with dessert afterwards." Once he had the two cook's attention, he kept instructing them on what to do while teaching them how to cook Rice, how to prepare Oats and which ingredients complement their taste besides Tasty-Milk which is going to be essential in the future.

Aaron also informed the two about the uses of the different types of Salt and when to use them, explained the use of Baking-Powder, Vanilla-Extract, the difference between Vinegar bottles and why their colors are not the same.

Most of the time he was sitting in the corner at Sherry's lap and getting fed by his maid but the mood inside the kitchen was good, Betty kept flirting with Pio through her eyes whenever she got a chance to burn him with her mischievous actions.

Lucas asked for a quick leave after taking a plate of fries for his daughter Flora.

Meanwhile old man Todd felt like he's thirty years younger after tasting too many different ingredients!

His body was brimming with strength, a feeling which he almost forgot how it feels like to be this strong after many years of separation with his youth.

*Yawn*

Aaron finally felt like he can't resist sleep anymore and decided to surrender to it after saying : "You guys just need to make sure there's enough food here to sustain me if I woke up feeling hungry while you're gone, otherwise expect me knocking at your doors and waking you in the middle of the night... I don't care if some fool feels annoyed at me for doing so! When I'm hungry I eat, that's it... that's all." Afterwards he rolled his eyes at Pio before drinking another Extreme Red Potion then dragged Sherry by the hand towards the corner where his bed is located.

The teenager girl blushed and kept her head lowered all the way but she didn't resist at all when the kid hugged her waist with his arms and rested his head on her breast.

Seeing Aaron use her chest as a pillow so naturally made Sherry click her tongue before hugging him and positioning herself on her side instead of her back, this way she wouldn't be able to see her big brother Pio and auntie Betty's smiling at her and winking while teasing her with certain gestures and facial expressions.

'All I need is to kill some mice, eat my food, and get some rest for the next three weeks. If I do that right, while assisting Mr Smith back in the smithy once every morning, then everything is going to be alright.' He thought while looking up at the teenager girl who's studying his face with a gentle gaze and a sweet smile at the corner of her mouth while running her fingers in his hair slowly and humming a tune.

"I need you to wake me up every 30 Minutes, can you do that for me?"

Sherry nodded, "Uh-huh. Leave it to me young master."

Aaron shrugged before adding : "I'm not doubting you or anything, but have Pio and Lucas share this task with you when he returns because something bad might happen to me if you happen to fall asleep."

"Big brother Pio!" Sherry twisted her neck and called the man, "Come here."

"What is it Sherry?" Pio exited the kitchen after unwillingly letting go of his woman's waist, "Be careful not to wake young master Ron up."

Sherry nodded and covered the boy's ear while saying : "Go get grandpa Sid's hourglass."

Pio tilted his head to the side while asking : "Why?"

"Young master Ron orders, he wants us to wake him up every 30 Minutes." She said before resting her head on the pillow.

Pio shrugged before going to do as he was ordered.

"That's a good girl, you're so smart and obedient! Exactly the way I like it." Aaron whispered these words while waving his hand, a blanket covered them both and his hand snuck into the folds of her clothes slowly until they found a familiar part of her body.

Right when the teenager girl expected the kid to drive her crazy with his passionate actions, she sensed his breathing fall on her chest in a certain orderly rhythm.

'I guess I'm going to have to use that hand of yours myself! Young master Ron is so evil... making me do all the work. Humph!' Despite having these thoughts, Sherry carefully pushed against the hand between her legs with her groin and slowly pleasured herself.

Meanwhile Chief Peter was sitting in the study and looking outside at the garden through his window, his youngest son stood there and waited after relaying the report he just received from Scadur.

"Are you certain of these news?" Finally Peter spoke after a long silence.

Sen sighed because he understands why his father is having trouble believing the news, after all it happened before and some of these Mice would stray from the burrows and find their way to the surface.

Since these creatures' natural habitat is deep below the ground in areas mostly lacking light, their behavior changes extremely and unpredictably once they get exposed to natural light like sunlight and moonlight.

Usually they tend to become aggressive and attack or chew on whatever they find before digging another tunnel once they've had enough of ruining the surface!

But mostly they get hunted by men or other predators since their lush mane of fur is actually very precious, their meat is is indeed delicious, and even their bendy bones which are extremely difficult to break are perfect for various uses.

They could use the elastic tendons of these creatures to make fine yet really sturdy coils of rope or bowstrings and add them to these bones after shaping them into Long-Bows, the smaller bones could be cut into smaller pieces and added to the bottom of Arrows to give the archers better maneuverability and flexibility while taking aim which lessened the strain on their joints.

It also allows the archers to fire more Arrows at a much higher rate.

The inner handle of the Shields could also be made from this excellent material which decreases the shock for the user once they receive a blow and in turn lessens the strain and allows them to recover a lot faster.

These bones are so useful to the extent where they make for a comfortable bed if they were used as such!

"Roger and his team are on their way there to recover the five carcasses of the beasts Ron killed, he's excited because this might allow him to actually have fun for once without having to leave the Village-Walls." Sen answered while crossing his hands.

Chief Peter smiled before stealing a glance at his son while saying : "Looks like you're going to have to go have that conversation with the brat earlier than we thought."

Sen frowned deeply while nodding, "Yeah. That's not going to be easy, I was kind of waiting for Sherry to soften him up a bit."

Peter shrugged and stood from his chair then leaned on the window, "Just make sure you get us these five shells no-matter the cost, I'll think of a way to convince old man Vogen to use these "Unique" methods to build us a wall that would last more than one Beast-Wave for once.

"Don't worry about these Mice for now, I'm sure your big brother would ask the kid for that honor even if he has to beg on all four!

"Just throw a hint that we're willing to unburden him of whatever material he and his men get their hands on from the Fuzzy-Phosphorus Mice, also make sure to experience what type of amazing technique the brat used to "Summon" these creature.

"I don't trust these rumors at all, that's why I need a pair of eyes I can trust to confirm what really happened." Finally Chief Peter patted his youngest son on the shoulder before heading towards a corner of his study and retrieving some old-looking and dusty scrolls then unfurling them carefully and meticulously.

Within one of these scrolls was a tree with a special shape and colors to its leaves, on some of the highest branches were a type of fruit which the majority of people on this continent wouldn't even be able to recognize.
