114 Chapter 114: The Second Phase 1 (1/2)
Hours passed, Dylan finished his training routine and sat cross-legged on the floor. He seemed to be circulating his spirit energy in order to alleviate stress and fatigue from training. As he opened his eyes, he stood up as his gaze coincidentally fell on the window and saw that the sun was already starting to radiate sunlight to the sky as half of its body was already seen on the horizon.
”It's already morning. Hm... I'm quite in a good mood after breaking through to Pinnacle 10th level. I guess I can make breakfast for everyone for a change.” Dylan mumbled to himself.
After going out of his room, Dylan went downstairs and to the kitchen. It was about 5:30 in the morning and his employees were still fast asleep so there was noone to greet him.
Dylan washed his hands first beforestarting to cook. He gathered the ingredients and cooking utensils he needed to cook the food.
”Now that I think about it, it's been a month since I lasr cooked for them. Hope I didn't get rusty, though.” Dylan smiled as he picked up the ingredients and started to slice them.
*Krssshh*
The sound of the oil frying the eggs of the Morning Fowl that Dylan cracked and the bacon he sliced from a Hill Swine. He also cooked a couple more meat and fish dishes for for breakfast because he knew how much some of his employees eat.
Dylan was also preparing a salad made from freshly cut fruits and healthy vegetables. He also made coffee for his employees by using the Kofi Beans and milk from the Ground Cows.
His cooking produced fragrant smell that even his stomach was uncontrollably growling, yearning to eat already.
Half an hour later, Dylan set the eating utensils on the table by himself and placed the food in the middle of long tables they have at the dining room.
”Finally done! I guess it's about 6 now. They should be waking out by now.” Dylan stretched his body and smiled.
After several minutes, Dylan heard a sound of a door opening upstairs and heard the groggy voice of the speaker.
”Hm? Something smells good. Whoa!” It was Ron. When he went down, he saw Dylan standing there while preparing the table.
”Sir Dylan, did you prepare all of this?!” Ron loudly gaped when he saw all those mouthwatering food that Dylan prepared! He stood there dumbfounded at the lowest step of the staircase.
”I did.” Dylan simply answered.
...
”What? Sir Dylan made our breakfast?!” Larry, who went down with Ron, was a bit startled. They have long scheduled who was going to cook from now on and they made sure to exempt Dylan from the list so that he could focus on matters of the Soaring Herbal Garden.
”Really?” The others at the second floor who just woke up and still had some drowsiness found in their eyes, all of this dispersed and was replaced with excitement!
”Sir Dylan made the food for today?! Hurray!” The boy's were fast and immediately went down the stairs as soon as they heard Ron's shout. The boy's knew how good Dylan cooks so they were delighted to get to eat the meals Dylan cooked.
”Sir Dylan already cooked breakfast?” The Aaron cousins looked blankly at each other. They were supposedly the ones to cook the food for today. But, they did not feel bad about not being able to cook. Instead, they anticipated Dylan's cooking even more.
”Hehehe, excuse me. I'll have the first bite on Sir Dylan's cooking!” Audrey used her movement skill and swiftly moved past the girls within the corridor.
”No fair!” Beverly complained as she moved as quick as she could.
”Hey, wait for us!” The others did not want to lose and also proceeded to the ground floor.
”What's happening? Why are they all running? Whoa! Something smells delicious!” Rian who just woke up, jumped in joy and headed downstairs.
...
Everyone ate happily and savored the taste of Dylan's excellent cooking skills. Barry also joined them after hearing the commotion caused by Dylan's cooking.
”Boss, your cooking knows no match! Everything was simply delicious!” Ron shamelessly gobbled a lot of meat and rice!
”Less sucking up and finish your food. Today's your shift you know.” Dylan reminded with a smile.
”Hehehe, I know. I know.” Ron sheepishly said. After saying those words, he immediately went back to eating.
”Dish ish ameyzhing fwod! ( This is amazing food!)” Rian said as he chewed a large amount of meat.
”I didn't know you were an amazing cook!” Barry shot a glance at Dylan. He gave him athumbs up and laughed with Roland and the others.
”There's a lot of things you still don't know about me.” Dylan spoke while a smirk emerged on his face.
”Is that so?” Barry had a questioning look as he looked at Dylan.
”That's not all! Sir Dylan also sings really good! Hahaha.” Roland revealed with a good laugh.
”Oh! How did you know of this?” Barry exclaimed.
”It was more than a month ago when we were still on our way here. We all played a kiddy game like Truth or Dare. He was unwilling at first but we were finally able to convince him to join. Eventually, it was Sir Dylan's turn and he picked the Dare . It was Mary who suggested that he sung. Despite being embarassed about it, we were able to persuade to do it. Everyone was shocked how good Sir Dylan sung. We all wanted an encore but unfortunately we were attacked by spirit beasts, so we needed to kill them all first. We tried to get him to join but he didn't want to no matter what we did.” Roland narrated the past events.
”You rascal.” Dylan looked angrily at Roland who suddenly realized what he did.
”Oho. Now, I'm intrigued! Bro, you have got to sing then! Not just for me, for your employees as well. Hehehe.” Barry was interested in this topic when he heard it. He used a teasing look to get Dylan to do it.
