Chapter 582: Tasting Eves meal (1/2)
”Job well done.”
Taking a few steps back, I used the very last rays of the sun to admire the house which I just finished constructing. Even though it could present nicely only from the outside, with the insides still being a complete mess, just the fact that the three of us no longer had to worry about shelter was already a huge step forward.
In the end, I decided against building a separate house for Celleria. As annoying as she was, there was no denying it that in the possible near future, we would have to rely on her in order to learn in more detail about the way of living that people on this continent believed in.
Just like someone from the medieval far east would stand out in medieval Europe even if he would be capable of masking his different facial traits and adopt the way that locals were dressing, so would be the case with the two of us, making Celleria's help all the more important for us. After all, if we acted like her servants, then for the small cost of our pride, we could avoid nearly any attention!
”Bart! Dinner is ready!”
Hearing the shout coming from behind me, I turned around. Right in the middle of the small clearing that I decided to leave out of the construction site, Eve and Celleria took care of a huge fireplace. On it, a huge carcass of a beast that I hunted during a break from the building was roasted above the fire, spreading a delicious aroma through the entire area.
”I'm coming!'
Taking the one, last look at the simple house in front of me, I put away the tools that I use to turn simple logs into elaborate works of art. Dusting off my clothes with few energetic pats, I could see a huge cloud of wood dust raising up from my body only to calmly fall down the ground.
Satisfied with the outcome of a day of my hard work, I finally moved back to the campfire and sat down beside it, nearly instantly receiving a huge bowl carved out from a block of wood leftover from the build, filled with what looked like a broth.
”Just when did you have the time to cook a proper soup…”
Shaking my head in amazement over Eve's cooking abilities, despite how eager I was to dig in, I forced myself to wait for my fiance to sit down with her own bowl. After all, no matter what kind of troubling matters were lurking beyond the horizon, it was the very first time that I had the chance to comfortably eat a meal of her production ever since the frantic times back in the arena city begun!
”Let's dig in!”
Sitting directly on the grass beside me, Eve gestured at me with a welcoming smile. Just like it was the first time since a long while ago for me to eat her cooking, it was the first time for her to enjoy me praising her for it!
