Chapter 434 - Victory Feast

Today is the day for the meeting that Albert scheduled. Good thing that we built the place for the meeting to be big enough to hold a lot of people. Everyone who participated in the battle can join us.

But before we go there, Albert called me through Sonia to meet him right away. Not knowing what he's planning, I go there to meet him.

"What's up, Albert?" I greeted the king of Tatrama.

"What's up?" Albert replied casually seeing me arrive.

"I know that everyone here already knows the truth, and know that you two are good friends. But please don't act so casually toward a king in front of the others," Marie scolded us both.

"Even if I'm the Werewolf King? And the leader of the angels as well?" I complained.

"That's a king in different world. Or different planet to be exact. And King of different races. By the way, I have already figure out how to travel between planet. In theory at least. I need a lot of experiment before that can happen," Marie said.

""Don't even think about it anytime soon.""

Both Albert and I replied together at the same time. Seems like Victoria wanted to say something, but Albert and I spoke first.

"You have already made so many amazing inventions. There's no doubt that the cult has marked you as a target. Either for assassination, or to capture you for your intellect. If you build something that can help us travel between planets, they will ignore everything and aim for you whatever it takes. As your husband, I can't take that risk," Albert said.

"He's right. Too risky. Just writing down the idea is bad enough. If somehow it was leaked, it will be disastrous. At least put off that idea until the cult is destroyed," I said.

With her help, she can make many other inventions that will help us fight against the cult. I don't want her to be targeted by the cult this early. Well, another reason is that she's my friend's wife.

"I understand. I won't speak about this matter ever again until the cult is destroyed," Marie said as she left the two of us alone, and went to her children.

Now that we have more people we can trust, and his palace is filled with them, Lana is no longer staying in my place as she can show herself to everyone here. And about her magic that she can use ever since she was born, she can use it exceptionally well. In fact, I heard from her aunt, Shirley, that Lana is already intermediate level ice mage. And she hasn't awakened her other elements yet! If there are any.

As for Alan, he was raised well that he doesn't feel any sign of jealousy to his sister. In fact, he was more of a smart kid than a talented one. He understands everything that was taught to him.

The twin has grown really well. I'm so proud even though I'm not their parent. I'm just the doctor who delivered them.

There's something I'm curious about the space travel that Marie told us all of a sudden.

"Victoria. Was it you who asked her for a method for space travel?" I asked Victoria.

"…that's right," she replied.

"I know what you're thinking. You want to see if the world you were in originally is one of the planets out there, right? I know you miss home after reincarnated in this world a long time ago, but you're in too much hurry. Not only you will risk Marie to be targeted by the cult, but also everyone else as well. Be patient for now," I said.

"…I understand. Sigh… I just wanted to show you how amazing my world is. I'm sure you will realize the greatness of fujoshi," Victoria said.

"Never!"

Nope. There's no way I would like that stuff. She has tricked me about fujoshi before, and I won't get tricked again. I already know what a fujoshi is. I'm smarter than I was before.

"Anyway, let's get to the main point. I called you here to bring all of these to the meeting place later," Albert said as he spread his arms to show me what I will bring.

"…there's a lot of tables and dishes. Are we going to have a feast?" I asked.

"That's right. I had the servants to cook a lot of dishes for everyone. Including a lot of meat dishes for the werewolves, and vegetarian dishes for the elves. Although they didn't participate directly, I heard that they built fences to protect the village," Albert said.

Just as he said, there are a lot of dishes to bring. They should be enough for everyone. Maybe.

The werewolves and I eat a lot, so we might need more meat. Does the vegetarian dishes delicious? I'll try them as well. I'm not picky about food like the werewolves or the elves. As long as they are delicious, I want them all.

Oh! There are cakes as well. Let's hide one for myself later.

"Roy," Victoria whispered to me.

"What?"

"I want that cheesecake."

"Chocolate cake is better. I can only hide one cake, or it will be suspicious if there are two or more cakes to hide."

"…I hate you."

"You hate chocolate cake?"

"You have to share with me," Victoria said.

Although she doesn't need food, she can still taste them. And she likes sweets and cakes.

When I asked her about it in the past, she said that it was like a dream come true to be able to eat as many things as she wants, without having to pay attention to her weight. But she still regrets that there are many dishes that are not exist in this world.

When I replied by saying that I never need to care about my weight as well, she didn't talk to me for three days. It's a taboo to say it in front of women. At least the women around me.

After getting everything to the Monsters World, with the help of the servants as well, I told the Werewolves, the elves, and the angels, to not eat anything until everyone has arrive.

And the werewolves replied by saying that they will protect the food with their lives. While looking at them and drooling.

Can I trust them?

I suppose I have to bring everyone here as fast as possible before they start eating.

Everyone has prepared to go, so I don't need to use portal to many locations. I also let them bring family and friends as well. Of course, only those who have been approved by Albert can join. And he needs to meet them from before, and not meeting them today for the first time.

And so, the place is filled with kids from four countries playing together with werewolves' children, angels' children, and the elves' children as well.

If yesterday was a peaceful and boring day, today is a peaceful and not boring day.

"Today, we will celebrate for our victory against the vampires! Congratulation to everyone here! Have a feast for today!" Albert simply announced.

I don't think that's the main reason that we're all here. There should be another important thing that he will discuss with us. But for now, let's hide the chocolate cake before anyone notices.

No one is looking? Good. I will transport the chocolate cake to my room, and eat it alone later.

"If you can't bring home the cheesecake, then I should eat as much as possible here!" Victoria said as she transformed into her human form.

"Just because I saved one for later, doesn't mean that I won't eat other dishes here!" And I declared that I will taste at least each one of the dishes here.

"Roy. Albert is calling for you," Sonia suddenly appeared as I was immersed in the fried rice.

"Food."

"Roy. Henry, Harold, and Lynn are calling for you as well," Sonia said again.

"Food."

"Roy. It's important," Sonia won't stop until I go and meet the kings.

"Food!"

Finally, she left. And then, the one coming next is Kayla.

"Roy. We're going to meet Albert and the others right now. If you don't, I will tell everyone that you stole the only chocolate cake here. Obviously, someone noticed. But I don't know if Albert notices. Go right now."

…that's a threat. Am I someone who will surrender to a threat? Yes.

"…I'll bring some food to eat during our talk," I said.

Everyone here is having a feast beside the artificial lake, while we are inside the meeting place. The building next to the lake.

When I enter, the four kings have been waiting, along with the usual group.

Only I and Shelia stand out as we are bringing our own food to the meeting place.

"…yes, you can eat while we're having a discussion," Albert said as soon as he saw me entering the building with a tray of foods.

"Thank you. Now, this must be the real reason why you're asking everyone to gather. Just tell us," I said.

I don't think he has started the discussion since everyone is curious about what he wants to say.

"This is very important. The world is in danger," Albert said seriously.

"…why don't you tell me something I don't know instead?"
