Slowly, I tried to eat the olette that Ellen had cooked.
Seeing its shape, which was much bigger than a normal chicken olette, I felt an intimidation coming from the residue of its magical energy.
Putting aside its wide and large shape, I feel that this is quite dangerous to be eaten by people who do not have high magic tolerance, and is only suitable to be eaten by people who have high magic tolerance.
Why am I so sure about this?
That was because Mio was standing and trying not to faint after seeing the olet cooked by Ellen.
Mio’s magic tolerance is quite poor, that’s why she understood that the olet I was about to taste had a high enough magic content for her to sense.
Even with the exposure of the magic waves that I cast to create a magic circle formation that observed the surrounding conditions at certain intervals, it almost made Mio faint while her body was standing upright.
I took the fork that had stabbed one of the pieces of olette and tried to eat it.
Chomp...
"Hiieeekk..."
The mont I tasted the olet, Mio scread as if she were scared and would faint at any mont. However, she managed not to faint after seeing eating an olet containing magic residue and suppressed her expression of disgust towards food containing magic energy.
Chomp...
Chomp...
"Ugh, my Master eats without caring what happens to her, huh?" Mio grumbled as she lowered her head to stare at the floor of the central command tent.
Mio’s disgust towards anything related to magic seed to be at its breaking point.
I just wanted to train her to quickly get used to interacting with magical energy, but what happened right now, I looked like I was slowly torturing her.
"Mio, are you okay?" I asked Mio, turning my gaze to her.
"I-I’m fine, Lily-sama." Mio’s expression seed reluctant to look at , who was eating an olette.
"You don’t look well. Should I take you to Yulia to check on your health?"
"I-I’m fine, Lily-sama," Mio shook her head in panic after seeing worried about her.
"You don’t need to force yourself if you’re not feeling well. I don’t want you to get sick while you’re on a military expedition with ."
"I-It’s not because I’m feeling unwell, Lily-sama. It’s because... I feel uncomfortable being exposed to such excessive magical energy," Mio replied while glancing at the olet I was tasting.
Choomp...
Choomp...
I kept tasting this uniquely flavored olet.
Unlike a chicken olet, which is soft, creamy, and slightly sweet, the eggs from this wild monster are sweeter, as if sugar had been added during cooking olet.
"Oh, wanna try it?" I asked Mio as if teasing her.
"Ugh, no, Lily-sama. That would be disrespectful to Lily-sama, as the Master I am supposed to serve."
"Eh? But I want you to taste this sweet olet. Don’t you want a bite from ?" I said, using a pleading tone to Mio.
"Kuuhhh... Lily-sama said sothing so underhanded and cunning at a ti like this. How could I refuse after Lily-sama said sothing like that?" Mio grumbled, having no choice but to taste the olet that Ellen had cooked.
Right beside her, Ellen just smiled when she saw that soone else was about to taste her olet.
"You’re lucky enough to be spoiled by Lily-nee directly, Mio," Alyssa said, as if comnting on Mio.
"Being Onee-sama’s maid and military aide always brings such prestige, huh? I’m jealous..." Alice said as if giving Mio a hint of jealousy.
With the help provided by my twin sister, we seed to drag Mio into a trap with no way out.
I can see Mio’s body can’t tolerate the exposure of high-level magic, through this mouthful of sweet olet.
"Onee-sama, if Mio takes a bite from the fork that Onee-sama has used, wouldn’t that be an indirect kiss?" Alice said, glancing at Mio, who was confused about what to do after receiving a feeding from .
Twink...
Alice blinked at like she had planned this, and I understood what she was getting at.
"Alice, that will only happen if Mio eats the food I give her. If she doesn’t, then it’s not an indirect kiss," I replied as I ate another piece of olet.
Choomp...
"Would you like to try this... indirect kiss, Alice?" I asked Alice after taking a bite of my olet.
"No need, Onee-sama. I’ve already gotten more than just an indirect kiss. I’m not that greedy, Onee-sama," while moving her tongue to wet her lips, Alice looked like she was tempting Mio to accept the olet from .
Slurp...
Alice’s tongue licking her lips made Mio’s eyes turn to , her cheeks looked red as if she was embarrassed to admit her desires at this mont.
Choommmp...
I kept eating the pieces of olet until there was only one last piece left, ready to be feeding.
"Oh! There’s only one last piece left. I didn’t realize... I was almost finished because it was so delicious. Don’t you want to eat this last piece of olet, Mio?" I asked Mio while teasing her with the fork up and down in her eyes.
Swiipp...
Swiipp...
I felt like I was teasing a little girl who was shy about eating her mother’s food.
"If Mio doesn’t want to..."
"Then I will feed Ellen..."
I kept pressing Mio to eat the last piece of olet that was in front of her eyes.
Swiipp...
Swiipp...
With embarrassing teasing like this, Mio tried to remain calm in controlling her disgust towards anything related to magic, including the piece of olette that looked terrible in front of her eyes.
"Uuuhh... Lily-sama," Mio seed hesitant to take the bite of olet that was being directed towards her.
Choomp...
Just as Mio was about to open her mouth, Ellen grabbed a mouthful of olet from my fork with her mouth.
"It took too long to make a decision," Ellen said as she enjoyed the last piece of olet in her mouth.
Crack...
Stab...
"Cough!"
Mio fell as if she had been hit by an emotional attack that pierced her fragile little heart.
"Lily-sama’s food just disappeared like that? Sob..." Mio said as if she was crying silently and trying to stand up straight after previously falling.
"Uuhh... I’m really stupid when I doubt myself, Sob..." while holding back her sobs, Mio tried to stand up straight like a maid who was ready to be on duty at any ti.
The last piece of her olette was stolen by Ellen, making her look like a Maid who was unable to fulfill her own desire to feel an indirect kiss from her own Master.
"That’s what you get when you don’t act quickly and are too timid to accept Lily-nee’s kindness." Without turning her head to see what was going on, Alyssa was still drawing on Earl Timoti’s copy of the map and continued to pay attention to what Aiko was looking at.
I handed the dirty plates to Ellen to return it to the soldiers on duty in the kitchen tent.
"Did you enjoy your homade olet, Ellen?" I asked, handing her the plate and fork.
"Yes, I feel happy because it’s not too bad. This is my first ti cooking instead of watching people cook. It’s much more fun..." Ellen smiled happily like a girl enjoying sothing for the first ti.
Ellen imdiately left after receiving the dirty plate and fork that I had used.
With the swift movent of her footsteps, I could see Ellen leaving from inside this central command tent.
The joy of her first cooking experience made Ellen seem like a young girl compared to a cursed weapon created by the Goddess of Destruction.
"She seems to like cooking. Can you teach her, Mio?" I asked Mio, who was still holding back her sobs.
"Sob... Uuhh, if Lily-sama orders to teach her to cook, then I will do it," replied Mio while trying to stand calmly without showing her sobs.
"Well, do that soti, when I’m not busy and Ellen isn’t being used as my main weapon."
"Sob... Unn..." Mio nodded and wiped away her tears.
Seeing Mio still mourning the last piece of olet and my mouthful that was stolen by Ellen, it was still etched in her mind.
I could guess that Mio would use this incident as a way to stop being shy about accepting my kindness, who wanting to pamper her.
I sat back down in a serious expression and looked at the underground cave that Alyssa had drawn.
"Did Aiko find anything interesting, Alyssa?" I asked, with my expression returning to being serious about work.
"So far, nothing is interesting, just an underground cave covered in glowing moss. Based on its shape, the moss is a common known magical plant, and I’ve marked the location of the magical moss with a special note regarding its unknown access location. I hope Aiko finds the exit of the underground cave she’s still exploring," said Alyssa, giving her brief report.
I listened to Alyssa’s short report carefully and suddenly got a report from Aiko.
[ Um, Supre Commander, it looks like we’ve found so unexpected treasure. ]
"Huh? What do you an by that, Aiko?"
The report given by Aiko made look up and notice my magic circle formation, which was showing what Aiko was seeing.
Around the moss glowing with magic energy, Aiko seed to see a path filled with sacred ornants like a shrine, who hidden in an underground cave.
[ I’m not too sure about this, but I can detect a large amount of magical energy emitting from the end of the path... in an underground cave like this. ]
"Is that so? Please walk carefully, I don’t want to see you get hurt by so traps or ambushes," I said to make Aiko walk slowly on the mysterious path.
What Aiko was looking at this mont looked like a small staircase climbing upwards, decorated with glowing moss that was bright enough that Aiko’s night vision ability was unnecessary.
As Aiko slowly climbed the stairs, I also noticed Aiko’s position moving forward in the magic circle formation that mapped the area around , which was still actively emitting magic waves.
Ping!!
Ping!!
Ping!!
"What is this place, anyway?" I muttered in a voice that aroused curiosity.
When Aiko climbed the last step, I was surprised by the shrine building that stood underground and was overgrown with various kinds of new magical plants that were not detected by Alyssa’s magic circle formation.
"LILY-NEE!!"
"ONEE-SAMA!!"
Alyssa and Alice called out to as if to draw my attention to this great discovery.
