Chapter 582: Tasting Eves meal (2/2)
”It's delicious!”
While I knew that I could expect something that no restaurant back on earth would be ashamed to put at their main dish, my expectations turned out to be insulting to the reality. The mellow taste of some strange vegetables served as the appetizer, while the fatty chunks of meat not only enriched the taste but also melted down in my mouth, releasing something that I could only call a flavour bomb!
”Why are you praising her so much? It's not like with those ingredients she could do anything worse…”
Instantly spoiling our little fun, Celleria butted in, while ignoring the fact that her own spoon was already approaching the speeds of spacecraft balancing wheel. But how could I accept this kind of irritating behaviour? While poking fun or annoying me was one thing, doing those things towards Eve was completely inexcusable!
”Celleria, stop that. Not only it's annoying, but you are now making this great meal taste worse than it does. If you can't appreciate everything we are doing for you, it's fine, but don't try to annoy us. Don't forget that you are not irreplaceable.”
There was a limit to how far she could go with us. So far, I was tolerating her irritating behaviour due to her being Eve's step-sister, but that was about it. Her services as the guide on the continent could be easily replaced, as just by fulfilling some quests or missions I could easily obtain more funding than necessary to just hire someone for this task!
”Bully…”
Uttering this slur under her breath, this annoying girl quickly moved to the other side of the fireplace, putting the flame between us. But rather than pointing out how quickly she escaped the moment I started to actually care about what she was doing, I decided that enjoying this small bit of privacy for the two of us was way more important.
”Dear, how about we try the main dish? The way it smells is making me hungry, and this soup alone, no matter how insane it is, just can't sate this hunger of mine!”
Putting away the empty bowl, I tickled Eve's side as I spoke. With how the sun was already gone for the night, it was given that as soon as we would return to the house, then we would finally get some time to enjoy ourselves. As for Celleria, me openly lashing out at her was just a part of my plan to make sure she wouldn't even attempt trying to butt in during our fun!
”Sure thing, just give me a moment.”
Smiling back at me with her hands only accidentally all over my body as she used me as the support to stand up, she picked up one of the knives that I made from the spare wood, before slicking a long strip of perfectly roasted and spiced meat from the grill. But rather than putting it on some kind of plate or even passing it to me directly, she put one end of the meat in her mouth, before standing above me with the sparks of joy filling her big eyes!
It seemed that our fun would begin even before moving in, to the only room that I bothered to finish in that new house of us, namely bedroom!
