Chapter 142: Gourmet Quest

She then kneels down on the ground and starts collecting my cut hair in her palm. Well, I did tell her that she could keep it, but I didn't think she would literally collect every single thread… Sёarch* The nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

I watch her scavenge for a good five minutes before she finally straightens her back. Her civilian attire's pockets are all filled to the brim with my discarded hair… Her puffed clothes are a bizarre sight to say the least once you know their contents.

Well, as I like to say, you do you, my dearest Blossom. If this makes her happy, what reason do I have to object?

Now we are once again left with the question of our next destination.

I'm obviously interested in the Wizard potion the most, followed by getting proper gear, but for the latter I would like to have Ayame accompany me- she is my combat teacher after all- while for the former I also heavily prefer to have our strongest fighter be present should any trouble arise, so for now it's time to have some more fun.

An idea strikes me- something that would suit both of our rather monstrous appetites, as ever since I acquired Primordial Breeding Physique I feel like my stomach has tripled in its capacity and Blossom was always a good eater. Maybe that's why she has so much energy… "How about we go on a grand feast? I'm talking about trying every single delicacy this town has to offer."

Blossom's ears perk up immediately, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Yes! Yes! Blossom loves food and Blossom loves Master even more, so eating with Master is the best!" She then looks inwardly while putting her index finger on her lips, deeply thinking if she'd just said something faulty, before visibly realizing that she, in fact, did.

"Though having Master shower Blossom with his affection is even better…! She also loves when Master pets her… Or sleep while Master is hugging her…" She begins listing off the things she likes while being absolutely adorable.

"All of those will naturally happen later today, so let's enjoy what the city has to offer for now, shall we?" I chuckle, already imagining the havoc we're about to unleash upon the local market. "Then it's settled. We'll go on a 'Feast Festival'- no, let's call it 'Gourmet Quest'. Whoever gets full first loses!"

With our "Gourmet Quest" officially underway, we make our way while strolling hand in hand toward the bustling market district. The tantalizing scent of roasted meats, freshly baked bread, and exotic spices fill the air, stirring our already monstrous appetites.

Blossom's tail wags furiously, her eyes darting from one food stall to another as she takes in the array of delicacies just waiting to be devoured.

Our first stop is at a stall specializing in grilled meats. A burly man with a thick beard and an even thicker apron tends to a large, sizzling grill. Skewers of all kinds- beef, chicken, lamb, and even some mystery meats- are lined up, their juices dripping down into the fire, creating a mouthwatering aroma.

"Two of everything," I declare confidently, causing the vendor's eyebrows to shoot up in surprise. To his credit, once he examines my towering figure he seems to quickly regain his composure and starts piling our order onto large wooden platters.

I can already see signs of drooling when I look at my beloved Blossom as the vendor hands us our food. We find a nearby bench and dig in. The first bite of the grilled meat is like a burst of savory perfection. The flavors are rich and smoky, the meat tender and perfectly seasoned. Blossom tears into her skewers with a fervor that makes me laugh out loud.

"Master, this is so good!" she exclaims between bites, her tail still wagging as she devours one skewer after another. The way she eats with such enthusiasm is both adorable and awe-inspiring. I match her pace, savoring the variety of meats while enjoying the sight of her relishing every mouthful of food.

After we finish the grilled meats, we wipe our mouths and move on to the next stall, which offers a variety of savory pastries stuffed with cheese, herbs, and minced meat. Blossom's ears perk up at the sight of the golden-brown pastries, her nose twitching as she catches a whiff of the filling. She grabs a couple of them, eagerly biting into one, while I follow suit.

"You definitely gotta try these, Blossom." I say, savoring the combination of flaky pastry and rich, flavorful filling as I extend another piece towards her in my hand. She grabs my extended arm with both hands and her eyes light up as she eagerly leans forward, her warm breath brushing against my skin as she- to my great surprise- takes the offered pastry directly from my palm.

Her lips close around the flaky treat, and I feel the soft press of her tongue against my fingers as she savors the rich filling.

She doesn't just stop at the pastry. As she finishes, she continues to nibble on my fingers, her tongue flicking out to catch every crumb and bit of flavor. The new sensation forces some heat to rise within me. Blossom's eyes meet mine, filled with a playful, mischievous glint as she slowly licks the tips of my fingers, her soft tongue tracing every inch of my skin.

This girl… I thought she was just being her normal airhead self but one look at her eyes is enough to tell that she knows what she is doing perfectly well.

"Blossom… You are becoming way too cheeky for your own good. I promised myself that I would punish you back when you invited Marjorie to have a threesome with the two of us which almost forced my love lance to shrivel up and die on the spot, that offense combined with this… I say that as your master, I have to step up and correct your misguided behavior with a firm, guiding hand."

She freezes for a moment then swiftly releases my finger from her mouth and I can sense fear spreading throughout her body. "Master! Blossom apologizes!!" Oh, she is really starting to panic. "Please don't hurt Blossom…" My gorgeous dog-kin whimpers with a downcast look while clutching her hands anxiously to her fluffy, droopy dog-ears as her tail limply hides away between her legs.

Does she really think I would beat her seriously? I'm not even angry at her; just extremely horny after experiencing her lewd tongue play, which combined with our previous heartfelt, sloppy kiss simply forced me to act and I decided that I would be a bit more domineering than usual this time.
