The Alv was silent throughout the whole journey back to my ship.

At least the trader gave her some proper clothes so that she wasn't just wearing rags. And by that I meant it was just a simple T-shirt and cargo pants which I have to say made quite a big dissonance between my knowledge of elf girls.

Like… I'm looking at an elf wearing a T-shirt for crying out loud. That's pretty hot, not gonna lie.

One problem was she wasn't reacting to anything I said to her and she was completely unresponsive to both Amber and I.

The good thing was that I don't think she's traumatised so this should just be her way of acting a little defiant towards her current circumstances.

When we entered my ship, I noticed that the Alv's face changed quite noticeably and she was looking around the ship with a surprised expression on her face.

I would have thought that this was the first time that she was in a space faring ship if it wasn't the fact that I already knew she had come from one.

Amber puffed up her chest when she saw that, "Heh! What do you think of your new owner's ship? Awesome isn't it?"

The Alv turned to her and frowned, "This is your ship? That is a lie."

I'm more surprised that she even knew that this wasn't her ship than her reacting to Amber's words.

Amber scoffed and jerked her head towards me, "Are you stupid? I'm not your owner, she is."

The Alv turned to me and narrowed her eyes, "This is your ship… Yes… I can see that."

"What do you mean by that?" I asked.

She sniffed, "You don't need to know. I already know what you want me to do so just get on with it."

"You do?"

I guess she must have overheard me talking to Amber about hydroponics when we were discussing about her earlier. Guess she must indeed have better hearing than humans.

She nodded, "Yes. Why else would someone like you want an Alv? You want to fuck us, right?"

…

I looked at Amber and she shrugged.

Seems like she didn't hear us after all.

I was about to tell her about the hydroponics farm I was making when I heard a grumble from the side.

Turning back to look at Amber, I realised that the sound came from her stomach.

She grimaced, "I… I can't help it, ok? It's lunch time and we're back in your ship!"

I giggled, "Fine, fine. Like you said, it's lunch time so let me make something for all of us. I'm sure the Alv here is also hungry after being put in that cage for god knows how long."

And as though agreeing with me, an even louder growl came from the Alv's stomach, causing the girl's face to go bright red in embarrassment.

Even her ears were red… So cute.

I chose not to say anything and merely led the way to the room where the kitchen was to prepare lunch for the three of us.

Hmm… What should I make? We still have some organic food leftover and I'm afraid they might go bad soon so let's use that.

The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

Just in case, I turned to ask the Alv, "Hey… Is there anything that you can't eat? Like because of allergies or personal beliefs you can't eat a specific food or something?"

She gave me a weird look, "No, I do not."

There goes my assumption that space elves are vegetarians. Good to know.

I then went over to the fridge and pulled out some meat and potatoes, figuring that I could just make some ground beef with potatoes when I heard a gasp come out from the Alv.

She pointed at the things in my hand, "Is… Is that organic?!"

I looked down at the ingredients, "Err… Yes? Why?"

"How… You're actually really rich?!"

I blinked at her, "Umm… In case you didn't realise, I just spent almost six million Credits to buy you."

"Yeah, but that's different! Who would want to spend money to buy organic food and then mess it up instead of going to a proper restaurant to eat it?!"

I huffed at her, "Ok, for your information, I can cook."

Amber grinned, "Oh she is so going to get it. I just know it. Wanna bet if she will faint?"

"Please, Amber. Stop exaggerating."

Amber simply smiled at me while the Alv was giving us a look that clearly told us that she most definitely did not believe that I could cook.

I handed over the potatoes to Amber, "Can I trouble you to prepare these for me? I'll work on the meat."

She grinned and took the potatoes from me, "Leave it to me!"

Yeah, she insisted that she learned how to at least help me prepare some of the ingredients so I taught her how to prepare the potatoes.

She seemed to be especially happy to be given that role for some reason.

I did not say anything to the Alv so she was standing at the side and watching us cook.

"What… What are you doing?" She asked.

"What does it look like? We're cooking."

"No, no, no… What are you doing to that meat?"

I looked down at the meat that I was mixing in with the diced onions on the frying pan.

"Err… Cooking the meat?"

"Why are you mixing those things together?!"

"To… Add flavour?"

"That's not how you cook!"

I raised an eyebrow at her, "You know how to cook?"

"Yes! You're supposed to just put it over the fire and then just eat it! What are you even doing?!"

I looked at Amber who was also giving me a look of her own before my lover turned to the Alv, "You know… You're being pretty rude to the people who are going to feed you right now. So how about you shut up and make yourself useful by preparing the plates and cutlery for us?"

The Alv seethed at us before stomping past us to pick up a few plates on the counter beside me.

"Just these, right?"

"Yeah. Unfortunately we have no table so we'll have to sit on the floor. Hope that doesn't bother you."

"What's bothering me is the way you're cooking! You're a disgrace to chefs!"

Geez… At least taste my cooking first before you say that…

Amber scowled at the Alv, "Didn't I tell you to shut up? You're going to be eating those words the moment you taste her cooking anyway."

The taller woman furrowed her brows at my lover but looked away and did as Amber told.

I seasoned the beef with some 'salt' and 'pepper', which was really just some synthfood that I found that gave the same taste when I crushed them, before adding diced tomatoes on top and stirring them.

In the meantime, I got Amber to help me cut up the potatoes into small pieces and drop them in a bowl for me.

Once the meat was ready, I took over the potatoes and dropped some 'butter' and chopped up some green onions before mashing them all inside the bowl.

I could hear the Alv making some distressed noises when she saw how I was mashing the potatoes and I decided I shouldn't ask.

When the potatoes were properly mashed, I brushed some 'olive oil' on my hands before picking some of the mashed potato up and moulding them into a ball to place on a baking tray. I made six of these in total so each of us would get two of them later on.

Then, using a cup, I pressed down on top of the potato ball to push the centre down so that it sinks in and leaves a hole for me to grate some cheese into it.

Now it was time for me to scoop up some of the meat that I had left simmering in the pan on top of the cheese before grating more cheese on top of the meat.

Now it was into the oven where I let it bake at two hundred degrees celsius for ten minutes until the cheese melted before I took it out to serve on each plate.

Amber was practically salivating at the food in front of her already while the Alv was still looking at the food like I had just murdered someone and placed their carcass on her plate.

Well, time to taste this~

The two girls watched as I cut a piece of it to bring it to my mouth, tasting it.

Oh~ This is good~

Seeing my reaction, Amber immediately dug into hers, letting out moaning sounds with each bite as she ate every little bit of it with relish.

The Alv, however, simply took her fork, cut a piece of it and then brought it to her mouth.

I watched her chew the piece and swallowed before she placed the plate and the utensils aside.

Oh… I guess she didn't like it after all. I suppose Alvs has different tastes or something.

That was when she stood up, stripped off her clothes until she was completely naked before she got down on her knees and pressed her head on the floor in a perfect dogeza pose.

"This useless slave humbly begs for her mistress's forgiveness."

…

Well that's a big change in attitude…
