Uwah! I never thought I would get to eat so much delicious food in this medieval world of harsh discrimination, battles, and so on… I guess there is a face to this society, which I had been completely missing this whole time!
Perhaps it is really possible to lay down and have a leisureful life after everything is done? Enjoying the life of this world and the delicious plates I can find here and there… building up my own farm, and having a dreamy slow life like in those popular slow life genre Isekai novels?
That would certainly be like a dream!
And the best thing is that even as a ghost, I can still eat, taste, and enjoy food… Fwehehe, [Materialization] is the best Skill there is. It lets me enjoy the pleasures of the flesh even as a phantasmal entity.
The sundae was so sweet, creamy, and refreshing. I couldn’t help but moan a bit in pleasure. Also, the cookies were buttery and crunchy, the fruit was fresh and juicy, and with the coldness of the ice cream, everything went so well together, a great combination of flavors.
After devouring my sundae, I moved on to several slices of cake and pies. The cakes were spongy and sweet, and the cream filling them had all sorts of fruits. The cakes were sorted accordingly to the fruits and the cream they had inside, which was so soft and sweet it felt like I was eating clouds.
And the pies… oh god, the pies! They had a variety of them. Each one was so buttery and delicious. The textures of the crust were like soft buttery cookies, and the eggy cream inside went amazing with the wild berries.
There was also chiffon cheesecake, which was spongy and cloudy. It was really such a unique experience! Would you believe if I told you I had not even eaten this much of a variety of cake before when I was on Earth?
It was completely mesmerizing!
Ahh!
And then, the delicious sandwiches. The bread was just baked, and it was still warm. The strips of grilled meat inside were well cooked to perfection, as they had a delicious juiciness to them. They had some kind of sauce coating them as well, making them slightly spicy and flavorful, but just enough to make the bread absorb its juices like a sponge.
But that wasn’t the only sauce as there was one that was made of tomatoes— similar to ketchup, but sweeter, and then there was also one similar to citric yogurt sauce. It all went together with fresh leaves of cabbage and slices of tomatoes… and the cheese was also nice, mildly melted by the heat of the meat itself!
They sadly didn’t sell beer, but the cold fruit juice and the tea that they served us was also amazing. I didn’t want coffee because I don’t like bitter stuff, but these cold drinks went amazingly well with the sandwiches.
It was such a good experience that we all ended up very happy. And in fear that we might be forced to leave this place after shit hit the fan, I decided to purchase everything in the damn cafeteria using half our funds, which were all from our beloved merchant sponsor!
The girl in the cafeteria was left speechless alongside the two chefs that cooked and made the cakes behind the doors. All three of them bowed their heads, thanking us for our purchase, as they probably believed we were of the high society or something… Not like it bothers me!
After that, we sneaked onto a street without people and saved all the bags of stuff we bought inside of my Inventory. In there, they will be kept fresh for us to eat whenever we want. We bought so many things that even by eating as gluttonously as we do, it will last at least a week or two!
These days will be filled with many flavors as we even purchased all the ice cream and the fresh fruits… and over a hundred pre-made sandwiches alongside those sauces they used.
Having secured our meals for several days in the future, we decided to slowly make our way into the Adventurer Guild which was a large building in the middle of town, filled with people traveling in and out of it constantly.
“Phew, that was so good….” Sighed Emeraldine in relief.
“That was perhaps the best meal I’ve had in a while….” Muttered Lucifer, admitting that everything was amazing.
“Yummy…” Partner muttered, and her belly was a bit fat due to how much food she consumed.
“I’ve never eaten something so tasty in this world before… Thank you so much, lady Maria….” Said Laura.
“You’re the best, auntie!” Said Takeshi.
The two kids hugged me tightly, only reaching up to my stomach, but it was comfortable to be hugged by two cute kids… My motherly instincts were kicking in as I embraced them as well.
“I am glad you had your fun… Now let’s go the Adventurer Guild to investigate how they do this stuff,” I said.
“Uhh… A-Are you sure? There’s a lot of people inside….” Said Takeshi.
“Yeah…” Laura added.
“Don’t worry, I am using my abilities to conceal my true presence, so there shouldn’t be any issue… Lucifer can also do the same using magic, Partner as well. Emeraldine will cover us and make us seem like a normal party because of how normal she looks,” I comforted them.
“I don’t think she looks normal….” Muttered Laura.
“She’s way too bright! As if the hair on her head produced a halo of light,” Said Takeshi.
“Huh? I do?” Asked Emeraldine.
“Actually, now that I see you up close, you really look like some kind of heroic priestess elf from a novel,” I said.
“A-A Novel?”
“Are you sure you were not blessed by some god of light?” Asked Lucifer.
“I-I didn’t! I just evolved into this….” Emeraldine replied.
“Well, no worries, dear, let’s go in. If things don’t work, we can always make a swift escape,” I said.
“You’re overly confident as usual. But, fine,” Sighed Lucifer.
We stepped into the Adventurer Guild and were greeted by dozens of stares right away.
