Chapter 53: Girls Gotta Eat…

(Selenia’s POV)

The room was quite big, but the table was of normal scale. Due to that, twenty minutes after Velmet left, maids came into the room carrying a very large and long table, which replaced the other one. After another twenty minutes, Cirilia had already gotten out of the bath, and was wearing the new dress that she was given.

Selenia: “You look so pretty in that dress, Cirilia.” I say with a smile.

Cirilia: “Thank you. Selenia, you look pretty as well.” She said with a smile of her own.

Resoria: “Are you two just going to keep flirting, or will you actually start eating?” She asked with a slightly angry tone.

Selenia: “…”

Before me were many, many meals on the long table. There were… fucking at least a few hundred different meals. No, really… Not a single meal was the same. Each was an original meal. Are we supposed to eat all this? While I was hesitating, Resoria and Cirilia started eating, so I eventually relented and started to eat as well.

A Few Hours Later.

How many meals did I just finish consuming? Around fifty, I think… Those two ate faster than me, due to my small size. But even with us three eating like giants, the table was still completely full of food. As the maids kept bringing in more and more meals for us to eat.

Resoria: “Cirilia, how many more meals do you think that we can eat? I haven’t been blessed for that long, after all.” She asked with a curious tone.

Cirilia: “From what I’ve heard, it depends on the person. For me, I can eat another hundred meals before I will start feeling full.” She answered.

Selenia: “…”

I feel like my sanity is leaving me somewhat… I have eaten over fifty meals, but I am actually still completely starving. How many more meals will I end up eating? All three of us still looked very hungry. Seems like we won’t be ending this meal anytime soon… Those two are far ahead of me, so I need to pick up the pace and reach their level!

Hours Later.

Resoria: “I didn’t think that I could ever eat so many meals…” She said with a satisfied yawn.

Cirilia: “Me either. I got lost in the atmosphere and ate more than usual.” She agreed.

Selenia: “…”

Resoria and Cirilia were having tea while sitting on the couch and talking to each other. As for me, I was still eating. With another bite, I finish off my 285th meal. And… I was still hungry. Like I didn’t just eat enough food to fill the stomachs of an entire small village…

I was hungry, but I must force myself to not eat anymore. My dignity requires me to stop! Really… those two already finished eating thirty minutes ago, but I was still munching down on the almost unending amount of food available on this damn long table.

Velmet: “Lady Selenia, you must continue to eat if you’re still hungry.” She advised.

Huh? When did she come into the room? Whatever… The main problem is that now ANOTHER person knows that I am a glutton…

Selenia: “But…” I try to say more, but the woman cut my words off.

Velmet: “You can’t get out of eating.” She denied.

Selenia: “Why not?” I ask.

Cirilia: “Selenia, just continue eating.” She said with a smile.

Selenia: “This is so much food, though… I am not even halfway full… You two didn’t eat as much as me…” I reply with an embarrassed tone.

Cirilia: “That is because I ate my fill just last year. Even though I haven’t eaten like this in so long, I still had so much stored.” She replied.

Velmet: “Lady Selenia, you should just keep eating. The food is well and truly already paid for. And, once you’re full, you really won’t have to eat for many years. On record, after eating a very, very large meal, more than what Cirilia ate, a blessed person went ten years without needing to eat.” She explained.

Ten years!? That is a long time… So that means that Cirilia and Resoria only ate for pleasure, rather than needing to eat? No, wait. Resoria only just became a blessed person, so Cirilia was the one eating for fun before this meal. Can I really just store up a bunch of food for years? Am I a bear or a fucking chipmunk!?

Now it is Nighttime.

How did this happen?… First, I kept eating and eating, even two hours after those two finished eating. After my five hundredth meal, I was still hungry, for some damn unbelievable reason. Then, it turned into a fucking contest!!!

Velmet said that if I could eat one thousand, or at least close to one thousand meals, then I will never have to pay for anything in this Inn ever again. Literally giving me a free pass to basically use this Inn like a second house. Huh… The castle at Sooven isn’t technically my house, so this will be my first actual house ever, huh?… I say “Will be” as I am already on my 1285th meal of the day…

Resoria: “Velmet… has there ever been any blessed person who could eat this much? Right now, I can tell that Selenia is probably only 80% full.” She asked with a curious tone.

Velmet: “There was.” She answered quickly.

Cirilia: “Who? From what Resoria told me, you’re a very old being, so you should know who it was.” She asked.

Velmet: “Oh, it was no one special. Just the one blessed being that almost destroyed the world. Her name has long since been lost, but knowledge of her appetite was well recorded. Every few years, she would eat about two thousand meals in one sitting.” She answered.

Cirilia: “…”

Resoria: “…”

Selenia: “…”

Really? You have to drop that kind of knowledge while I am eating!? Whatever! I shall just continue my meal is peace… Thankfully, I am getting somewhat full now. This shouldn’t take more than another hour…

More Than Another Hour Later.

Lying on the large bed, I was dealing with all the large amount of food that I consumed on this day. Well, I wasn’t bloated or anything. I actually felt very good. Like I just got a booster shot or something. At the end, I was full after my 1895th meal. Which is shocking, to say the least.

Resoria: “Now that you’re full, we can now carry on our journey without worry.” She said with a giggle.

Selenia: “Don’t we have to wait for those potions, though?” I reply.

Cirilia: “What potions?” She asked with a raised eyebrow.

Resoria: “…”

Selenia: “Resoria can’t wait to have sex with me any longer, so she sent Rem to go get a potion of aging, and a potion of age stopping, or whatever it’s actually called.” I answer with a cheeky tone.

Cirilia: “Pervert…” She said while looking at Resoria with a disgusted look on her face.

Resoria: “I ordered potions for you too, Cirilia! I had no plans of leaving you out…” She said in defense.

Cirilia: “Understood. You are a genius, wise and beautiful, Princess Resoria.” She said with a respectful tone.

Resoria: “…”

As they bickered and joked with each other, I actually ended up falling asleep. Before doing so, I could tell that this was going to be a very, very deep sleep. I might end up in a literal food coma at this point. I did eat a lot, after all…
