Calm After Storm

"Ah, the storm is gone."

"Whoaa, you're right. Does that mean they are done?"

"Probably." now Amber is really in relaxed position.

I wonder if there is any food left, the ration that Benny brought is not enough, is there any food stall still on service at this time? Should I cook something for myself?

"Hey Amber, I want to cook something, do you want to eat somhing too?"

"Eh? You are going to cook something? I want Steak and Chicken-Mushroom Skewer!"

"Okay then, do I have the ingredient? Oh, it's enough. Give me some minutes."

"Yeah! I will leave it to you!"

What an energetic girl, I cook one Steak and two Chicken-Mushroom Skewer because these two menu can be cooked at the same time, actually three because I made stir fried salad right beside the Steak, then someone- or a group called me from behind me.

"Hee, the mister adventurers cooking something delicious." the Deaconess peek out from my back.

"Ehh, Kazuma-sama, leave the cooking to me! " also Noelle is here.

"Uooooh! Bro! You can cook three different dish at the same time! Amazing!!!" and Benny too.

"Don't sneak right behind someone who is cooking, you three want some?"

"""Can we?"""

"Well, you can but, do you have some breads?"

"There are some in the camp, wait a minute." The Deaconess run toward the camp.

"I will brew the tea for all of us then." Noelle came beside me and preparing her utensil, i-is there a dimensional bag inside her skirt? Where the heck she put all of that utensils?

"And me- uhhh, here some eggs." is his bag only filled with eggs? Ah some of them cracked.

"Well, thanks, I'll cook this."

I put aside the cooked Chik-shroom skewers and Steak because these two already cooked, I'm kind of afraid if these two overcooked or not. the salad is on the bowl somehow, when is Noelle put the salad out? The Deaconess came back with some breads in a bag, I cut the bread and make a toast with the left over oil from steak, make some sunny side egg then cut the Steak and Chick-shroom skewers into thin pieces, put all of them between the toasted bread aaand voila! Put anything good inside sandwich! I don't know where the plates came from, but it's very convenient.

""""*Gulp*""""

"Hehe, looks awesome right?"

****Nod****

"Alright, let's eat."

""""Yes!""""

We ate the sandwich that actually really came out really delicious, I really didn't expect to be this good.

"Bro, this is-"

"Kazuma-sama, this food is-"

"Mister adventurer-"

"Kazuma, Kazuma-"

""""Deliciou-"""""

"Where is Paimon's portion?"

"""""UWAAAH!!!""""" dang it, that really scare the heck out of me!

"Paimon, you shouldn't creep out from behind them like that." Lumine also here then she hold Paimon in her hand.

"Eeeh, but Paimon is hungry~"

"Hahaha, what a rowdy bunch!" Kaeya also here while laughing, I can see you take a peek at my meals."

"Make it yourself." I said it blunt to his face.

"Eeeeh, so mean~, I am hungry too you know, right miss Paimon?"

"He is right Kazuma-shi, we did some consecutive battles inside the temples you know!" she pouts and act high and mighty while saying that.

"But you just flying or hide behind my shoulder." nice jab Lumine.

"Ugh, Paimon Can't refute that."

"Don't falter just by that, comrade! You also work hard as a mascot!" why you so dramatic Kaeya?

"Ouh! Paimon can't just taken down like tha- Ooooi ! Paimon isn't a mascot!"

"P-Paimon-sama, take my p-portion then." ah Noelle.

"You no need to do that Noelle-chan, I'll stir something up for them. Just take your time, you are tired right?"

"Uhh, okay, but you are the one who is the most tired from all of us." what a kindhearted girl.

While we just chatted like that and I stir something for the team that just came back from temples, I heard Master Jean and Lisa who are in conversation with Benny, Deaconess, some adventurers and the knights.

"An Army of 120 Hilichurs and 3 Ruin Guards?! Is there any casualities? Just injured? Thank you Lord Barbatos." calm down Master Jean.

"What? The three of them take care of 100 Hilichurls? How about the Ruin Guards? Huh? Three elemental magic and explosion? And that's not Albedo or Klee? huh? Just by himself? No way!" Lisa-san kinda restless there, dunno what kind of things that she heard.

Then, all of them looking at me like they just saw a ghost or something, even Lumine and Paimon looking at me like that too.

"What? Are all of you fall for me? Sorry but, I already have a lover."

""""""YOU HAVE A LOVER???!!!!!!""""""

"Ha? I haven't told you that?"

""""""No, you have not.""""""

"Well, Lumine and Paimon already know that, I guess."

"Is that one of your party member?" asked Lumine.

"Yup, that mean you also don't know huh."

"Yep,"

"Ah, it's done, here, some stir fried salad and meat if you want, ah Lisa-san, I heard you are vegetarian, here."

"Ara, how thoughtful of you, young man."

"Just Kazuma is fine."

"......This is Vegetarian Abalone, how can you find some rare matsutake this much?"

"I just found it over there." I just pointed my finger to some random bushes."

"Is it that easy to find them?" she asked the green clothed adventurers.

"No, you can't just find it in some random bushes, you are considered very lucky to find five of them in the wild."

"I have 20 of them from one bush."

"......."

"Ah, your high luck huh." said Lumine.

***

"We should go back, its already very late." said Master Jean.

"We will going back to HQ, how about you two?" ask Kaeya.

We look at each other then nodded.

"Straight to the inn, I want to sleep until afternoon." of course that was me who said that.

"No shit, 3 Ruin Guards by yourself is a crazy feast"

"Nah, Benny and Noelle-chan helped me, I just do some finishing touch."

"You said that but your nostrill is widened up, quite haughty are you." master Jean giggled like that, t-that was dangerous for my heart.

"Praise me more mortals! I mean, thank you."

"......You reveal your real thought oi, anyway, see ya later."

"See you tomorrow travelers!" Amber shout out to us.

"Let me examine your body next time, Kazuma-kun~."

"MY PLEASURE!- *ahem* Let's discuss it later, Lisa-san."

"Is Kazuma actually a pervert?" said Paimon.

""""It depends"""" all of the dude said it in harmony.

"....All of the men here is."

That was chaotic but finally I can take a full days of rest from tomorrow on.

"Lumine, Paimon, hold my shoulders"

""?? Okay."

After they hold my shoulders.

"Don't tell me-" Lisa-san said with a shock.

[Teleport]

"......"

"Jean, please help me catch that guy tomorrow."

"With moderation okay?"
