"Hum~~ hum~"
I hummed when I made breakfast.
Today is a meat feast.
One large piece of meat that has been soaked in seasoning for one night is in the frying pan. It's simply delicious!
The hissing sound that appears made my ears twitch happily, the smell of slowly cooked meat made me hungry, and lastly, the constantly flowing meat juices made me drool.
With this meat as the main breakfast, this morning will be delightful.
That's the thing I thought about a moment ago. But who could have thought, my will be delightful morning was ruined by the girl I loved.
"Stupid girl! Didn't I tell you, let us cook breakfast for you! Can't you remember this? Is your brain too small to remember it?"
One end of my mouth twitched because of those insults.
I love her but... couldn't she be more loveable?
I want her to be proper and adorable. Unfortunately, I couldn't ask her to change her behavior in an instant.
"Ruciel... Why did you have to ruin this delightful morning? You know, you have a beautiful face. But, with that noisy mouth of yours, your beauty goes to waste," I told the girl who is standing next to Salsa.
"I don't care about that!"
"Haa... If you want to make breakfast for me, you have to get up earlier than me."
"You said you didn't want to be woken up early in the morning. That's why I thought you'd wake up late. But look now, you're already here!" Voicing her annoyance, Ruciel approached me and started chopping the vegetables I prepared.
Salsa also didn't want to be left behind, she started mixing the spices that I prepared. "What kind of cooking are we going to make today?"
"Steak! Thick steak! Onion soup plus potato salad."
"Okay." Salsa nodded then started making potato salad with Ruciel.
Then, we made breakfast without saying anything.
Honestly, I don't want to talk to them and this doesn't mean I hate them or anything like that. It was just for only this morning, I yearned for peace.
My Stamina and Mana that were in critical condition made me uncomfortable to listen to the commotion. So… I hope they or specially Ruciel, didn't go noisy again.
Glance~ Glance~
Yup, I realized what those two women were doing. They kept stealing their eyes at me when they do the cooking. At first, I ignored them. But now, I'm starting to get disturbed.
"Something's wrong?" I asked them.
Ruciel and Salsa exchanged glances for a moment. Then Ruciel opened her mouth. However, before she could say anything...
"Why is big sis tail becomes three now?"
My little sister said the question ahead of the Fallen Elf girl. Not long after, my little sister started playing with and hugged my tails.
"Stop it, Kimi, it tickles! Wait at the kitchen table, breakfast will be available soon."
My sister didn't answer right away. She keeps playing with my tails for some time before finally saying, "Alright."
A few minutes later, we gathered to eat breakfast today. And yes, the we I said included Vyorn. The man came to the kitchen not long after Kimi sit down.
In minutes, our breakfast disappear.
"It's time for you to give us a job," Vyorn said.
"Being a parasite in your home is not fun," Ruciel added.
As for Salsa, she just made a wry smile.
Well... Maybe, it's time for me to give them orders. With the shouts and complaints that Ruciel kept giving me, I choose to give up. I will give them some kind of order.
And yes, I know if this situation keeps continuing like this, their mood will get worse. And the already cracked relationship between us will be even more cracked.
There is a possibility that this relationship will be scattered and I don't want it.
But… to be honest, I don't know what kind of orders I should give them. I searched ideas for some time and...
"Hmm... If you really want an order from me, how about the three of you hunt in the Foltian Great Dungeon? I'm not going to say how much, you can earn money for me. You can use half the money you get to buy whatever you want. Oh! I'll give you guys money to buy hunting equipment first."
After I finished, Vyorn told me that they had to make a Special Permit and re-register with the Adventurer's Guild to carry out my orders.
They needed my permission and I gave it along with the jerk's Personal Seal.
Vyorn made a nod, Salsa made a sigh of relief, while for Ruciel, the girl gave me a sharp look.
The attitude she showed made me spontaneously say, "What? Are you not satisfied?"
Ruciel didn't say anything and chose to look away.
My problems with them are solved and new problems appear. Kimi kept asking, why do I have three tails?
Honestly, I'm having trouble keeping my secret from her. She knows when I tell lies and the lies I just made crumbled slowly. However, just before my secret was revealed, an idea popped into my head.
"You know Kimi, these three tails are an illusion. Papa gave me this magical collar and take a look! My tail is back to one."
"Oh..." The little girl made a voice filled with admiration as the Collar of Concealment showed its magic to hide my tails.
"I want a collar like that too!" She shouted, full of desire.
But, unfortunately for her, I don't know where I can buy a collar like this. She was sad but came back to be cheerful when I said, I'd buy her a collar like this if she found a shop that sells it. In the end, she went to see Alan and Chloe seek out their help to find the store.
"You deceived a little girl, did you ever feel remorse?" Ruciel asked.
I didn't answer back to that girl, I'm too tired now. Therefore, I gave her some gold coins and told her to do her job as soon as possible.
And yes, I'll change that girl's attitude when I have a chance. I promised to make that girl be adorable and fall in love with me.
It's a promise for the future.
Now, I'm alone and decided to take a rest for some time. I do go out after my stamina recovers quite a lot.
My destination?
I want to visit Skyport, I want information about the Flying Ship and if possible, I want to try to drive it. I also want to compare my knowledge of the Flying Ship that I got from Ark Fantasy Online with the reality in this world.
So… time passes...
I reached the western district of Rishtonbell, where Skyport is located.
The Skyport, the building where dozens of Flying Ships docked was constructed in a high place. Because of that, I had to face one of humanity's greatest enemies, extremely long stairs.
"It's going to end exhausting," I said before starting to climb the extremely long stairs in front of me.
I kept climbing and climbing then I was surprised, I didn't feel tired when I got to the top, I didn't even sweat.
"It's amazing," I said.
I didn't think I'd get a huge change after evolution! This episode makes me want to test my strength in a fight ASAP!
"Unfortunately, I have to delay that decision. Now, I have to check this Skyport and find the Flying Ship first."
So, I strode into the four-story building with a red roof in front of me. I followed a few people and when I was inside, I made a sound, "wow..."
This Skyport was quite luxurious. It has gold decoration, a high-quality Crystal Lamp, a shiny marble floor, Magic Items that tell flight schedules, and many more.
Observing the pillars, rows of waiting seats, Skyport travelers pacing around carrying suitcases, ticket sales place full of queues of people, and so on made me sure, this place was quite the same as the airport I knew.
I looked around this place for quite some time before I decided to approach the information counter. I was queuing for some time before my turn arrived.
A beautiful female receptionist greeted me with a smile and a question, "can I help you, miss?"
I nodded and said what I wanted. "I want to know more about Flying Ships. I also wish to see the Flying Ship up close and if I can, I want to try to drive it. Can I find those things here?"
The receptionist shook her head. "Unfortunately no, miss. This Skyport only serves issues related to transportation. However, if you visit a building on the north side of this Skyport, a place called Seven Wings, you can get the things you mentioned earlier."
"Seven Wings in the north of this place?"
"Yes, that's true."
"Thank you."
"Your welcome."
I left the information counter and went to the place where the Seven Wings was.
Sometime later, I was confronted by another receptionist. But, different from the previous receptionist, this receptionist was a man.
"Can I help you, miss?"
I got the same question and I nodded. Then I told him why I visited this place.
The receptionist nodded and said, "we have a Piloting Class to teach someone to drive an Airship, not a Flying Ship. We also have a Tech Class that explains knowledge related to Airship. We set a price of two gold coins for each class. Are you interested in taking these classes?"
Getting that question, I nodded without hesitation. "I want to attend those two classes."
"I understand. In that case, please fill out this registration form." The receptionist gave me some sheets of paper.
I was excited and filled it as soon as possible.
And yes, in this world, Flying Ships are called Airships.. This is the first difference I've found in my knowledge.
