Having promised Roxene a special al for how hard she had worked at dealing with rampaging monsters and beasts after the Dread Burrowers defeat Marcus personally made his way to the kitchen and began cooking up her favorite.
‘Hm, I suppose I will just use our entire stock of puff cow.’ He thought as he looked through his stores.
There was not an imnse amount of the high-quality at that cost several hundred gold to keep in stock, but there would be enough for Roxene.
‘For Inten I can probably just give him so natural treasures. I doubt he has maxed out his stats like Roxene and I have due to the Greatest Potential skill.’
With that settled Marcus began taking out what he needed and got to start on preparing the al he was going to make.
Naturally Stella and Violet offer to help, and really actually did not want Marcus cooking in the first place due to his status, but he simply dismissed them and took over the kitchen.
He was honestly able to move much faster without their help since he could move around faster and use certain skills and magics that would be best left unseen.
‘It has been so ti since I was last able to cook. I almost forgot how enjoyable it is.’ He thought as he listened to the sizzle of the puff cow at cooking.’.
Soon enough he had made what was a veritable feast that could have easily fed dozens of people.
However, Roxene’s appetite could be insatiable, especially in wake of her favorite food. And as she grew, she was becoming able to eat more and more to the point that it was astounding.
‘Roxene, I have finished cooking. Bring Inten with you to the dinning room and the two of you can enjoy a well-deserved al.’
After getting his telepathic ssage Roxene sent back a very elated response and only a minute later ca rushing through the door with Inten following right behind her.
As soon as she saw the large spread of food Marcus had laid out on the table, her eyes dilated as she took it all in and she began unconsciously licking her lips.
Inten for his part was less focused on the at and instead turned his gaze to the number of natural treasures that Marcus had laid out.
There were a large number of them and of nurous different types. Many which Inten had never even seen.
“Both of you go ahead this is your reward for doing your part in helping with the cleanup of our latest disaster.”
Having Marcus’ permission, the two beasts dove right into the food laid before them and began eating wildly like sothing out of a cartoon.
Roxene went right for the puff cow fillets as Marcus anticipated, while Inten for his part followed his instincts and found the highest quality natural treasures and began eating them.
For such as small mouse he seed able to back them away and Marcus was surprised that within around five minutes he had already eaten twenty tis his body weight.
‘I guess that he converts it all to energy so fast he does not even get full. This must be part of the power of a legendary grade beast.’ Marcus thought as he watched the Inten devour the natural treasures.
Within about an hour all of the food he made was gone, not a single morsel left, and the two beasts actually had visibly bloated stomachs
‘I am going to take a nap. Don’t wake unless it is an ergency.’ Roxene said as she started to drift into a food coma.
Inten was quick to follow her, but Marcus had to stop them and carried them both to Roxene’s room since he could not have them sleeping in the dining room.
‘I am sorry to whoever has to clean this up, but I suppose that is what I am paying them for.’ Marcus thought as he looked at the ss his cooking and Roxene and Inten’s eating had made.
After that he spent the rest of the day in taking stock of all the supplies he had for forging and righting down a list of what he needed to get.
Eventually the day had co to an end and Marcus with nothing better to do decided to sleep and let ti pass until the next day.
The next day he was surprised to have already received a response from Kalt about his inquiry about making Inten his beast companion.
‘Looks like I my timing may not have been the best.’ Marcus thought as he read the letter.
The tone of the letter conveyed how tired Kalt really was with all the work he was having to do. And while he agreed to help, he did ask that Marcus stop suddenly doing things that were beyond the world’s common sense.
‘Sorry but I have already accepted that I am unusual and unusual things follow . I will not be stopping anyti soon, so please forgive .’
Once he had finished reading the letter, Marcus called Inten to him, and told the diamond mouse what was going on.
“I have received a positive response from the castle, and they are going to set up the ritual for us at the castle tomorrow. However, Kalt wants us to head on over today so we will need to make preparations for that.” Marcus said to Inten.
The diamond mouse agreed and soon enough they were on a carriage heading to the royal castle.
‘It seems like these days I am going back and forth from the castle at least once a week. I only just left yesterday, and I am going back again already.’
Unfortunately, with how intertwined he was with the royal family due to his relationship with Mrazivý, there was little he could do to avoid this.
And while they definitely wanted his power and skills at their disposal, it was not like they had not gone out of their way to help him. Marcus had gained just as much from joining with the Kingdom of Borealia as he has given.
When he arrived at the castle, he was imdiately brough before Kalt who honesty looked exhausted.
“So, is that the legendary grade beast that you plan on forming a mutual seal with?” Kalt asked as he looked at Inten who was perched on Marcus’ left shoulder.
“Yes, this is the Diamond Mouse, Inten. I t him in the Great Go Woods during the ti I was clearing it out of dangerous beasts and monsters.”
Marcus then went on to tell of the battle he and Roxene had with Inten and how he found out the beast was the mouse he had failed to have the stomach to kill when he first arrived.
“It is hard to imagine that at so point you were so ek as to not be able to kill a mouse.” Kalt said with a surprised expression.
“I have changed a lot since coming to this world. I am sure that if those that knew from before saw now, they would not even recognize .” Marcus said while shrugging his shoulders.
