Silent Night

The kitchen inside the Skyscraper's first floor was large enough to be considered a house. With how large it was, it would take time just to move from one place to another, possibly increasing the delay before the food gets served.

Thankfully, I wasn't alone.

With the 20 girls helping me prepare the food, dinner was served faster than expected. Everyone gathered around the table, enjoying the meal one morsel at a time... while Ember and the rest were literally gulping the food down with grace and poise.

I know that it's counterintuitive and conflicting, considering gluttony and grace, but that's just how it happened. Even I, who was accustomed to their large appetite, was starting to doubt my eyes, seeing the food vanish in a flash.

Soon enough, the table full of food was cleared. I slowly stood up, gathering the dishes and planning to clean up after everyone, but Ember quickly waved her hand, stopping me.
