As john entered the cave, he found Serena awake, she was still laying on the ground and was still red, but it looked like she was feeling slightly better
John quickly took the crate with dicines over to them and released posession
"welco back, john" Said Ariel
"Thanks Ariel, Is serena feeling better?" John asked
"Of course I am" replied serena as she looked away
"That's good, I went ahead and got you so dicine" Said john as he placed the crate on the ground next to them
He got the dicine master told him to give to serena, it was in a closed liquid bottle, John checked to see if it was used, and it looked like it hadn't been opened so he felt safe giving it to serena
It was most likely sothing the bandits stole and never got to use, but just in case it wasn't poisonous, he planned to try so himself
"Where and Why?" Asked Serena as she turned to him
She had a blanket over her and only her head was poking out. She also didn't have her hat so her ears were on display
John had no reason to lie so he just told them what happened
"About that... I raided a bandit base..." Said john with a nervous smile
"You did what?!" Serena nearly shouted
"Did you get hurt?" Ariel asked
"Nope, I'm fine..."
"That's good, but it's still dangerous" Said Ariel
"Why?" Asked Serena
"?"
John didn't know what she was asking
"Why did you go through the hassle just to get so dicine?" Serena asked
"Why? Because you looked like you were in pain."
John noticed that serena's face looked a little redder, so he moved in closer to check. But Serena simply turned the other way
"Looks like your fever is getting worse, Ariel we should give her the dicine soon"
Ariel nodded
"You raided a bandit base just to get dicine?"
"That was the main reason, but I might have lost my cool when I saw how they treated people they kidnapped."
"... You never change..." Serena muttered
"Is that a bad thing?"
"No... I don't mind either way" Said Serena
She was turned away from john so he couldn't tell what she was thinking.
Ariel opened the dicine bottle
"Ah, Ariel, can I try that real quick?" John asked
"Eh? Why?" Ariel asked
"To make sure it's not poisonous or anything" Said John
"Alright, but it looks just like a regular cold dicine potion" Said Ariel
"I know, but I'm still worried, it was with the bandits after all..." Said john before opening it
He took a sip and waited. After a short while, nothing happened, and it certainly wasn't poisonous.
"It's good" Said John as he handed it over to serena
Serena stared at it, the fever still looked like it was tackling at her, as her face still hadn't cooled down.
"Ah, should I get a different bottle because I-"
Before john could finish, Serena suddenly began drinking the whole bottle. At the sa ti, John realised that it was like an indirect kiss, and it made him wonder if she also thought the sa
After serena drank it, she quickly laid back down and at the sa ti she muttered sothing
"Thank you..."
John who saw this made a small smile as he said
"You're welco"
Ariel was awfully quiet so john thought of asking her if there was sothing wrong
"Ariel, is everything okay?" John asked
"Yes, why?"
"You've been a bit quiet"
"Ah, I'm just a bit sleepy"
"Ah, then you should get so rest. Serena will get better on her own after taking dicine"
"O-Okay..."
The mont he said that, john rembered, they hadn't eaten anything yet.
"Are you guys hungry?" John asked
Ariel who was about to lay down, stopped and then nodded, Serena who was on the ground also slowly nodded
"Then, I'll cook" Said John
"John will cook!?" Ariel nearly shouted
"You can cook?" Serena asked
"Ah... I guess you've only seen grill at, and at school we always had food at the canteen... Yeah, I can cook." said john with a smile
"..."
"..."
They both just stared at john without saying anything. Their eyes showed that they had no faith in john's ability to cook, but they had no other option
"Get so rest, I'll call you two when it's done"
The two girls nodded
"What about ?" Master's brother asked
"Of course I was planning on calling you" Said john
John forgot he was there, he concealed his presence and was keeping watch, it was rather hard to notice.
After john said that, he grabbed everything he needed, vegetables, the main ingredients, water and the cooking pot.
John didn't need a table to cut the vegetables, he could just use magic and cut them in the air.
John teleported outside, then shortly after ca back with so wood for the cooking pot. He set it on fire with 'ignis' and began heating up so oil.
Then one after another, john started cutting up the vegetables. Carrots, and potatoes. While at the sa ti he prepared the main ingredient. Rabbit at
He skinned the rabbit, he didn't have to remove the blood as it had already been drained by master after he captured it.
When he wasn't using an ingridient, he would just leave it floating around while using wind and levite. Serena and Ariel looked amazed.
John cut the at to tiny chunks, and shortly after he mixed it with a bit of flour, salt and pepper. It was expensive to buy, but worth it.
By the ti John was done with the at, the oil began shimring. So without wasting any ti john shook off any excess flour on the cubes of rabbit at, and added them to the cooking pot in a single layer
He cooked the at while flipping the pieces occasionally while flipping the pieces occasionally until they were brown all over. It took around 4 to 5 minutes.
When the beef was finally cooked, he transferred it over to a plate and set it aside. The plate was also in the air so no insects would get on it. They were in a cave after all.
Serena and Ariel's eyes were sparkling as they watched
"john so you can cook..." Serena asked
"Did you doubt when I said I did?" John asked
Serena didn't reply and turned her head
"What are you cooking?" Ariel asked
"Hm, Nothing much. Just simple rabbit stew" John replied
[It might have a different na in this world though...]
"Rabbit stew..." They muttered simultaneously with a dreamy expression
