Chapter 91

Ian was taken aback.New novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

Sharons mother, huh?

Ian didnt know if Sharon and she were on good terms, but their relationship was strange enough that a fight wouldnt be out of place right now (not that he knew if there was a fight to be had with Sharon).

But to her mother, who was flaunting her fragility like this.

Right. Your daughter grew up wrong. Why did you raise her like that?

But Ian still had some sense of Eastern etiquette in him. However.

In fact, my relationship with my daughter isnt good.

With a polite complaint, he found himself tumbling too far once he possessed Ian. Having grown into a fine pragmatist, Ian remained composed.

That cant be

The womans complexion darkened rapidly.

Already fragile-looking, Sharons mother now looked like she might collapse at any moment.

As Ian looked at her pitiful face, he paused for a moment.

Upon closer inspection, even the womans hair was styled in the so-called short-lived haircut that mothers often wear in fiction.

Come to think of it, isnt this a bit too much drama?

She didnt scold her mother in front of her daughter, but she scolded her daughter in front of her mother

It felt like the sound of his reputation plummeting was being broadcast in real-time.

Moreover, in the current situation, she was the only clue to salvage this situation. At a time when he should focus on the woman in front of him rather than worrying about the nonexistent Sharon.

Ian hastily added.

Your daughters swordsmanship skills are so outstanding that Im a little jealous.

Sharons mother, Sasha Asilia, brightened up.

Thats fortunate. Because I worried so much about parting ways with that child when I was young

Struggling to catch her breath, she spoke.

I was so worried that something might have gone wrong. Suddenly, I couldnt breathe, and everything seemed bleak. Im sorry for my ugly appearance.

With trembling arms, she wiped away the tears forming in her eyes.

Ian sighed quietly.

I almost died socially and reputationally.

From now on, he would pay close attention to the hairstyles of the other party.

But then.

There was a part of Asilias words that couldnt be ignored.

Officially, Sasha Asilia was supposed to have been killed by the Bloodstone Cultists when Sharon was a child.

Thats the setting.

But the fact that she was here meant she had been absorbed by Richard Pierce.

There was no deviation from the setting either. Anyway, being absorbed by Richard Pierce, who was a Bloodstone Cultist, was no different from being killed.

Is it true that you were absorbed by Richard Pierce?

Asilias pupils widened.

W-what, do you happen to know?

Asilias dark blue hair swayed softly as she asked.

If youre asking about Richard Pierce being a member of the Bloodstone Cult and if hes been absorbing people, then yes. Thats my conclusion.

Oh, someone knows.

Asilias expression was like someone who had discovered an oasis in the desert. She held Ians hands with both of hers.

No one believed me. I tried to confront him alone and then

Just as it was starting to feel burdensome, Yerina interrupted.

Just a moment.

Interrupting Asilias words, Yerina pressed her temples for a moment.

She had too many questions.

Yerina opened her mouth with difficulty.

Are you really Sharon Pierces mother?

The first question she asked was the least shocking among the other possibilities. Asilia glanced at Yerina for a moment, then clapped her hands together.

Oh, my. Is it really you, Miss Yerina? How did you grow up so well?

Ian was surprised.

Asilia had started stroking Yerinas head without any hesitation.

And then, she blinked.

???

Pat pat pat.

Stroking her head like a surprised lion allowing someone to pet it.

What kind of sight was that?

The sight of someone stroking the head of a 5-Star.

Ah.

Then he remembered.

There was a hidden SSR-ranked sword technique in the Fanta X Aca called the Snowflake Sword.

If Sasha Asilia was indeed the Snowflake Swordmaster, then she was a skilled practitioner surpassing Yerina.

The group was bewildered. But Ian was adamant.

Im hungry. Please make some.

Yerina let out a small sigh at Ians words.

It seems shock has regressed you to childhood.

I-I can take care of him! Ive been taking care of my younger siblings since I was little!

Im older! My tail was so fluffy and popular with kids!

Ian ignored the sudden squabble that had erupted.

Asilia, who was silently watching Ian, beamed with a warm smile.

Of course. Its time to show off my skills after a long time.

Swoosh, swoosh.

Asilia rolled up her sleeves and started cooking.

Sizzle

She skillfully greased the pan and added garlic on top.

Slice

As she wielded the cooking knife, the pieces of jerky were cut into perfect bite-sized chunks and grilled to perfection.

Finally, she added milk and boiled pasta that had been sliced four times.

There you go. I tried to show off my skills after a long time. I hope it suits your taste.

She said as she served one dish after another. Asilias shoulders were higher than before.

You said you were hungry, so eat a lot. If you leave any, you will be scolded.

As they dug into their plates, they noticed an unusually large amount of meat.

Smirk.

Asilia winked.

Thank you.

Danyas eyes narrowed Was it because of the meat or Asilias wink?

Ian avoided Danyas gaze and took a spoonful into his mouth.

Wow.

He blinked several times in a daze.

Then he took another spoonful.

Its amazing.

Praise flowed out involuntarily at the taste.

The broth based on milk had a subtle richness. Just when it was getting heavy, the garlic provided a crisp finish. A dish that made the body feel incredibly warm.

Moreover, the meat was outstanding.

Tender yet moist with broth. Who wouldve thought of cooking with jerky? In fact, it felt like without the jerky, the dish wouldnt be complete.

Ive never tasted such delicious food

Its so good.

Danya and Lina murmured simultaneously.

Hehe, Im glad you all enjoyed it.

Asilia smiled contentedly as she watched them eat. Without even putting food in her mouth, she made something else.

Its a dessert made by grinding dried fruit with sugar.

Despite not having a mixer, she solved the problem with just one cooking knife she was holding.

Maybe cooking is not about the taste of fire, but the taste of the knife, Ian thought as he tried the dessert.

The tanginess of the fruit and the sweetness of the sugar blended perfectly, satisfying the tip of his tongue.

Ian put one in his pocket and focused on the conversation between Asilia and Danya.

It was Lichten Academy, right? How was Sharon there?

Danyas eyes rolled around. Asilia didnt miss her gaze checking Ians reaction.

Lina hastily intervened to smooth things over.

She was so great that she was considered the top talent at the school for a while! Many students followed her lead.

Oh, really?

Yes! She really was!

A faint bitterness briefly crossed Asilias face before disappearing.

But she didnt ask further and just grinned.

Hehehe, thats a relief. Would you all like to follow me for a moment?

Asilia stood up gracefully from her seat.

Seeing her, Danya whispered cautiously to Ian.

Isnt it suspicious? Shes being too nice to us, isnt she?

After serving such delicious food?

T-thats Anyway, something feels off. Its weird

She had an infinitely serious face.

And where Asilia took them, steam was rising.

S-She, she was fattening us up to eat us!

Danyas eyes trembled.
