Under the dual 'assault' of hamr relics and tasty food, the Lizardn tribe had no resistance whatsoever. Especially since they couldn't understand why, with the sa ingredients, and so even being extrely simple, the dishes made by these revolutionary people were so delicious.
When Renji was transported to the southern region, he had already purchased a large amount of food in the Sealed City. Currently, supporting the tribe for a month was not a problem. However, relying solely on these non-renewable food supplies was not a long-term solution. Renji needed to find a way to restore the demi-human's vitality and revive their shamanic heritage.
But no matter what, as Renji looked at the Lizardn demi-humans around him, devouring the porridge, he couldn't help but feel a different kind of satisfaction. Perhaps, after the impact of the previous "Karl," sothing had quietly changed within Nova. Surprisingly, she even approached Ashe.
"Sister….Nana(Nova)?" Ashe was startled to see Nova suddenly appearing by her side, especially after Eileen had inford her about Nova's terrifying strength, lifting a hamr weighing over a hundred kilograms.
Ashe thought Nova had co to her for another "sword training" session. However, what Nova said next left her dumbfounded.
Nova took a deep breath and then stared into Ashe's eyes with utmost seriousness.
"Ashe, can you teach how to cook?"
'Huh!?'
'Cook?'
Ashe was first shocked. This was completely unexpected. Although Nova had only joined them a day ago, the cold and distant aura emanating from her almost labeled her as soone to avoid.
Sensitive Ashe could also sense that the feeling Nova gave her was not like Eileen and the maids. It always felt like there was a thick barrier between them, as if they were from completely different worlds.
But Nova's words completely shattered Ashe's understanding.
"I also want to help in so way, so, can you please teach ?" Seeing Ashe's silence, Nova repeated her request earnestly.
Now Ashe was fully awake, and she imdiately nodded excitedly. She knew that anyone following her master Renji must be gentle at heart, no matter how they appeared on the outside!
And in her heart, Ashe secretly cheered herself on. She had to seize this opportunity well; 'who knows, it might be the key mont to establish a good relationship with Sister Nana(Nova)!'
Eagerly, Ashe handed over her current tasks to others and quickly led Nova to the makeshift workspace.
"Sister Nana, have you cooked before?"
"No..." Nova shook her head.
She had never cooked before. In the past, she relied on others to prepare als. Perhaps this was why Suthia called her "selfish" Now that she thought about it, she indeed used to be quite self-centered.
Change must happen.
Nova firmly held onto this thought.
"Alright, then let's start with sothing simple!"
Ashe nodded and pulled out a recipe for "Vegetable Soup" The steps were straightforward. After showing it to Nova, The Dragon Empress imdiately took action.
She picked up the vegetables that Ashe had prepared for her and poured them into the pot. Just as she was about to move on to the next step...
"Wait, wait a mont!" Ashe hurriedly stopped Nova.
Seeing the puzzled expression on Nova's face, Ashe lifted the lid of the pot. As she looked at the chunks of vegetables sinking to the bottom of the pot, a sudden realization hit Ashe that things might not be as easy as she had imagined.
" Sister Nana, you need to cut these fruits into pieces and shreds first. You can't just put the whole thing in like that!"
Nova suddenly understood and nodded. After scooping out the vegetables and fruits from the pot, she also took the kitchen knife handed over by Ashe. She took a deep breath; this was her first ti cooking, and it symbolized her determination to make a change. Thus, Nova was extrely focused.
Gripping the knife, she assud a stance similar to when wielding a weapon in battle. Treating the fruits and vegetables on the cutting board as enemies on the battlefield, before Ashe could even see clearly, Nova had already retracted the knife. The vegetables in front of her split into pieces with a "swish" accompanied by the sound of the cutting board cracking.
Ashe: "."
"Alright, Sister Nana, now you can put these vegetables in. Then, let's add so seasonings. First, let's add so vinegar."
Ashe placed several small ceramic jars in front of Nova. So were purchased from the Sealed City, and so were freshly prepared today.
Nova had just been looking at the recipe, but when she picked up a ceramic jar and poured it in, Ashe hurriedly stopped her.
"Sister Nana, that's sugar!"
Nova fell silent for a mont, then confidently picked another ceramic jar after sniffing it again with her nose. This ti, she got a headache-inducing expression from Ashe.
"Sister Nana, that's soy sauce. This one here is vinegar!"
Finally pouring it in, Ashe was once again alard, "Too much! Too much!!"
After a bowl of vegetable soup gave Ashe an idea of Nova's "culinary skills," the determined Catgirl imdiately gave up and decided to lower the difficulty for Nova.
"Sister Nana, I think making pancakes might be a good idea. Let's start with kneading the dough. It's not complicated; just follow the proportions and add water and flour."
"Start by putting in two cups of flour."
Nova: "Okay."
"Then add one cup of water."
Nova: "Okay."
Ashe: "."
Seeing the sudden silence from the Catgirl, Nova looked up in confusion.
"Then, Sister Nana, you can take out the three cups you put in there."
After so struggles and the repeated cycle of "more water, more flour," her dough beca larger and larger. However, regardless of the outco, the fact that Nova managed to create sothing was considered a success. Ashe didn't dare let Nova continue with additional toppings, taking charge herself.
Once everything was ready, the final step was to put it in the oven.
However, due to the excessively large amount of dough they made, even though they cut it into several pieces, each one was still quite thick, making it challenging to bake thoroughly.
Nova noticed this and, seeing that the dough remained unchanged in color for a long ti, volunteered to help this ti. In the curious gaze of Ashe...
Whoosh!*
A blazing fla suddenly enveloped all the dough. The intense heatwave even startled Ashe, who had been standing nearby, causing her to take several steps back.
When Ashe rushed to stop Nova, it was sowhat too late.
After the flas dissipated, what sat on the rack were "pancakes" that had turned into charcoal.
Ashe: "."
Nova: "."
"Sister Nana."
Nova: "Yes?"
"Let's go practice swordsmanship"
