The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 162: The Cuisine of the Fenrir Girl
"Seriously, Kaizo is really perverted! The Daylight Demon King!"
Faced with Tiana pouting furiously, Kaizo apologized again and again, "As I said, I'm sorry. I-I really didn't mean to do that!"
"Hmph! How do I really know?" The imperial princess threw a suspicious look.
Perhaps due to her unclothed bottom, she was unable to remain calm as she tightly held the side of her skirt, her legs moving awkwardly as she walked.
"Ji-if I knew it would look, I should have worn underwear that suited her taste..."
"The couple just now was also very cute. Ah, wait..."
"Ka-Kaizo!" Flushing intensely, Tiana smacked her fist into Kaizo's back. Although she had always been boldly seductive, her true nature was pure and an innocent princess.
"Se-seriously, that's why Kaizo is so brengs*k who doesn't know anything!"
Suddenly turning, he began to walk away.
"Where are you going?"
"Go to teach the earth spirits a good lesson. So that incident is only now and does not happen a second time!" Tiana left the path in the forest and entered the depths of the thickets.
(His cup, I really made the princess unhappy.)
"Well, as long as he stays in the barrier, there should be no danger." Kaizo sighed and continued along the way.
Leaving the forest, Kaizo arrives where he fought with Viona last night. It was originally part of a dense forest, but most of the trees fell due to strong winds, while the ground was filled with craters. This was the trail of destruction left over from the rampaging Viona.
(An opponent I don't want to face again, but no doubt he will advance to the final.) Kaizo muttered while sighing.
The Sword Style Festival this time around was much more deadly than before, it was his battle experience with Viona that impressed him.
(However, Rei Assar's team definitely surpassed that of the Dragon Emperor Kstaria so far.)
Not only did Rei Assar invite Kaizo to fight at the start, but also the Instructional School monster, Mia Vialine, and also the Demon Witch, Sefira Blum.
(And the black knight.).
That certain guy. Even among the group of monsters in the Inferno Team, that person's ominous aura stood out greatly. The instincts of an elementalist felt it. It is a kind of existence outside of humans.
"Can we win against people like that?"
During the two months since he joined the Academy through Aidenwyth's intrigue, Kaizo had recovered most of his combat senses with various things happening.
Not only did he regain the strength that earned him the title of Strongest Sword Style Holder three years ago, his new contract was also with Nyx who belonged to the strongest sword spirit class.
(However, it's still not enough!)
Not related to swordsmanship or endurance of the body, the matter of strength was more fundamental.
"Hmm?" Kaizo suddenly stopped walking. Unlike the smell of a burning twig, a strong scent reached his nose.
(It smells good.)
His stomach began to rumble as if awakened.
(By the way, I haven't eaten anything since dinner last night.)
Walking towards the direction of the scent, in the open on the riverbank, he found the back view of a young lady of high-class blond hair. Gladly singing a song, she cooked the soup in a pot.
Kaizo tiptoed and approached, "Aura, what are you doing?"
Surprised from behind, Aura shouted funnyly and turned around, "Uwah, Ka-Kaizo!?"
Bathed in the morning sun, her long hair and platinum blonde showed a dazzling shine. Her beautiful emerald green eyes were wide open.
Wearing an apron around his uniform, he held a bowl and spoon in his hand. To be honest, this look did not match her identity at all as a top-class young lady, but the contrast proved to be rather adorable.
"Seriously, don't scare me with a sudden greeting!" Aura pouted, slightly irritated.
"I'm sorry, I'm interested in the smell. Are you making breakfast now?"
"Yes, but it's still in the preparatory stage."
Kaizo glanced behind Aura as she nodded. It was a simple kitchen emergency. A counter top has been built using logged wood.
The stones have been stacked to make a stove. Fish caught from the river remain fresh using large blocks of ice created by the ice magic of its pride.
"It looks pretty good. How does a noble lady like you learn to cook?"
Although Kaizo himself is capable of simple cooking, Aura's skills have reached the level of a top chef. He wanted to discover the secret of his progress.
"By preparing food for Lesley every day, I naturally became skilled."
"Why do you cook for the waiter when you are the master?"
"It is the responsibility of the nobility to provide personally prepared delicacies to the people who serve us. Noble obligations or anything like that, that's what Lesley taught me."
"Uh, are you sure you weren't tricked by Lesley?" Kaizo stated in shock.
"By the way, Kaizo, are your wounds okay?"
Facing Aura's worried question, Kaizo nodded as she tried to twist the joint on her arm, "Yes, how should I say this..."
Last night, Kaizo's chest was pierced by Viona's Dragon Killer. Ending up with only a few broken ribs, he was actually really lucky.
As for the broken bones, it had already been installed and healed by Tiana during her sleep. Tiana had mentioned earlier that Kaizo had incredible self-recovery abilities.
This was most likely due to entering into a contract with a sword spirit that possessed steel attributes, as a result it produced a strengthened body.
"Good then."
Smiling wryly, he replied, "Despite that, I'm still quite tired."
"really. That's what I was thinking, so I prepared a special soup with nutritious effects." Aura smiled gently. This charming smile made Kaizo's heart start racing.
Trying to hide his loss of composure, Kaizo glanced at the soup in the pot, "Really? It would be nice to drink soup in cold weather like this."
"In my homeland, this kind of weather is actually considered warm."
"Of course, how does this compare to Neidfrost, land of ice and snow."
The soup is yellow and made with chicken, wild vegetables, and various spices.
"It looks so good."
"Sneaking in flavor is not allowed." The aura warned with a raised finger.
"Not allowed?"
"Where is your pride as an elementalist? Such behavior is embarrassing, or perhaps, Kaizo, this is the attitude you take to steal girls' tastes?"
Seeing Aura glancing at him with a frown, Kaizo replied, "How did the conversation get to this!?"
His stomach rang again.
"Seriously, you're desperate, yeah. Just to clarify, this is a special exception, okay?"
"Thank you."
Aura took out a large spoon to serve the soup, delivering it before Kaizo.
"Um, what?"
Aura blushed and said, "Your arm is still injured, right? Quickly open your mouth."
Clearly, he intended to feed her with the kind of scene "Say ah, and open it".
"No, the extent of this injury..."
"You don't need me?" Aura made an injured expression.
Kaizo frantically shook his head, "Ah, no, to-please feed me!"
His heart rate increased, he drank the soup in one gulp. The chicken and vegetables were well boiled and melted in his mouth. The fragrant aroma spread throughout his tongue.
(Ah, this soup.).
Suddenly, Kaizo recalled what happened on the first day she entered the Sizuan Princess Academy. At that moment, Aura brought warm soup to Kaizo when she was hungry and lived in a small hut that was no different from a stables.
(Obviously, at the time, he said if it was because Lesley was overcooking, but.).
Thinking back now, since the useless waitress was not cooking, Aura must have made up an excuse to hide her embarrassment.
Due to Aura's unapproachable demeanor, Kaizo initially thought she was an arrogant high-class woman. Her true nature was actually a kind and gentle girl.
"Aura, you're an amazing person." Kaizo could not help but say it.
"What are you saying all of a sudden!"
"Ah no..."
"I-I'm not a good person. Obviously I'm a criminal." Panicking, Aura began to speak indistinctly. His lack of honesty also felt rather adorable.
"By the way, where's Eve?"
"Captain? He's trying the sword style on the riverbank."
"so. Then let me say hello to him for a minute."
Finishing everything here, Kaizo decided to stop blocking Aura while she cooked. Waving to Aura, Kaizo walked towards the riverbank.
