A few hours had passed since Dante left to find food. Dante finished mapping area in 30 minutes but he was rooming around and checking locations for inspection and training purposes. Dante bought realm map after getting lost in huge area.
After finding food, all other events regarding bunnies and elf happened.
While Dante was way to find food, all present at camp were talking about different things regarding their life and what to expect from this world.
When Dan used Starfall, everyone at camp felt tremors and large wind rushing towards camp and they were astonished about what had happened.
It felt apocalyptic scene as meteorites began falling in a far distance and everyone had their mouths open on such an event.
They knew someone strong was fighting over the location and it was not too far from their camping location.
"What is happening? Dan said there was no danger in this area of forest." Sarah looked with nervousness.
"Maybe he is fighting with enemies. Maybe different people are living in the forest. We need to be ready." Elsa was serious in stating her thoughts.
"No matter. We need to believe in Dante, he is strong. No one can defeat him if he is running away using that space technique." Razor was confident nothing bad would happen.
Soon while everyone was anxious. 20 minutes passed and Dan teleported to the middle of Camp alongside a new guest.
All of them looked at the girl in flower clothing. They knew she was an elf due to her ears.
"Missed me, everyone?" Dante smiled at everyone who was looking at him with shock.
"Yes, master we were waiting for you. Please come sit here."
Elsa took Dan by the hand toward the chair. This chair was unique and made for leaders.
Dante sat on the chair and sighed at her behavior which showed bootlicking at its peak, it reminded him of his employees on Earth who kissed his feet to get better treatment.
'I don't want to be around people like her. She is becoming idiotic with time. I guess she can be utilized as a puppet.' Dante never cared about the people around him. He only did things that helped him in long run. Many people would criticize him for being two-faced and hypocritical but he didn't care.
Dan was a person who wanted a carefree and peaceful life and that included not having anyone annoying him from left and right. All these friends of his were means to an end.
When Dan becomes the ruler of this continent. He will leave the faction and live a peaceful life alone while doing whatever he wants.
'The plan is all that matters. I am pretty sure saving this continent is just the start. I need to be strong enough to lead a comfortable life in the future. The people from the kingdom will rush into this realm after 5 years. Since the original expedition failed, the people will be official Aurars. I have 5 years to reach official Aurars rank and conquer this realm.'
Dante needed information. The map showed only dangerous locations with red with respect to his own strength.
It didn't show the rank of enemies or several forces present in the locations.
"Umm master who is this girl standing here? She isn't human but an elf. Is she an enemy?" Elsa looked at Aster with a piercing gaze.
"Everyone let me introduce you to our new member of the faction. Her name is Aster Tekk and she is from a nature elf tribe. She can use wood elements with good compatibility and is considered a genius in her tribe. She is also an Amateur alchemist close to becoming a Tier 1 Alchemist. She will be our friend and comrade from now on. So treat her kindly." Dan stated with his kind smile.
Everyone present started talking with Aster and introduced themselves.
Elsa was looking at Aster with a calculating look. Snow was happy and talking with Aster at bliss. Bella was also intrigued by this new addition to the group. Razor was quiet and just introduced himself. Sarah also talked with a smile on her face and tried finding out new details about the tribe.
While everyone was busy talking Dante bought cooking equipment from the system and started preparing breakfast. It was 11 in the morning and they needed to eat.
The blood of bunnies could be used as a power drink because it was blood from an edible beast.
Dante was happy at discovering how many things can be eaten in this world. The beasts could all be prepared as delicacies if you know how to make them.
Dante was happy with [Cook] skill which he can upgrade to make better food and try new beasts. Cook's skill also allowed him to detect poisonous and harmful beasts. He also now knows different herbs and vegetables that can make food better. This was the best skill for food lovers like Dante.
"Sweet sweet food. Let's make a bunny meat dish called [Sweet Bunny meat]".
Dante began preparing meat in the equipment he bought for 10 SP from the system shop. All equipment was peak grade 0 equipment and was worthless for preparing Rank 1 beasts.
Everyone was shocked at seeing Dante making food.
"Dan Dan knows how to make food?" Bella was shocked.
"It seems he knows everything haha." Razor laughed.
"Let's go and sit near the table until the food is ready," Sarah ordered.
"I will go and help master." Elsa ran to cling more to Dan.
Everyone sat at the table and talked about their lives with each other which made their bond stronger as friends.
Dante used his concentrated Fire Aura to make food as tender and juicy as possible. He used 2 whole Bunnies to make an excessive amount of food. He was a lazy guy and will not make food every time for a food break.
Dante hated working and was lazy. He would make food once a day if he is feeling it. If not he will give them leftovers. He didn't care about raising his affection with them. He wasn't going to fack these ladies in the future like harem novel protagonists, so he had no worries about relationships.
Food was ready now and Dante decided to bring food to the table.
There was at least 30 kg worth of meat that was placed on the table.
There were only 7 people. They could not eat so much. But looking at the food all had water in their mouths. The food was very aromatic and looked like delicacies from tv shows.
"Dante, are you a gourmet? You used Aura fire to make food. Only gourmets use their fire to make food at a fast pace." It took only 20 minutes for the food to be ready so Sarah was confused.
"Yes, I know how to cook. Let's eat. This dish of meat is called [Sweet Bunny meat]. This is F+ rank beast meat. Very popular dish for being sweet and delicious."
Dante then used his aura to break meat into equal parts and gave it to all his friends.
Everyone ate it with fast movements and had stars in their eyes.
'Delicious' Dan could only say this while eating food with his fork and knife.
'No wonder gourmets are so popular in this world.' Gourmets had different tiers as well moving from tier 0 to tier 4.
Dante could be said to be a peak tier 0 gourmet.
'This cook skill proficiency increases with how many delicacies I have cooked. Well, I will just let it increase with time and cooking that I will do occasionally.' Dante finished eating and looked at his friends who were all smiling.
"Delicious. I love this food. It is 100 times better than the food we ate at the slaver building. Master is such a good cook. Thank you." Elsa was happy beyond measure.
"Yes thank you for the food." Everyone was happy with eating food and they wanted to keep eating but they were full.
"Welcome. From now on I will cook for you. I will also train some of you to make food if I am unavailable due to training or missions." Dante was happy with their appreciation and wanted to amass some Affection points.
After eating food Dante was a near pond where Snow came and sat down next to him while blushing badly.
Dante knew why she was here and it was time to clear the air between them due to what happened in the morning.
It was an afternoon at this time and everyone was busy talking about deciding their jobs in the realm while they stayed together.
"Dan, about what happened during the morning, I wanted to thank you for saving my life." Snow was talking in a little voice.
Dante was disturbed by what she did thank him for his help. Isn't that just whoring yourself?
