Brand New Morning

The time right before the first sunlight befall when the darkness still warped the world and yet not much coldness could be felt was the most peaceful in the Inn Small Bird at Dusk. The light source from the magic stone that shines upon the sleeping Aisha had lost its light and the wide room that was too big for the two of them was completely dark.

In the complete darkness, only Nacht’s golden eyes shone faintly.

Her eyes only reflect one girl.

For Nacht, were there light or not was no problem, her dragon eyes could always see Aisha’s figure clearly.

When Nacht took her brilliant golden hair in her hand, she could feel the soft sensation and slight warmth. Looking at her lovable small face, Nacht struggles to hold her desire to play a prank on her face or her lips. While holding that urge, she covered Aisha with the futon and caress her head tenderly as if combing her hair with her hand.

“—This must be—what we call fate!”

Nacht briefly remembered her friend who used a heavy word like fate frivolously.

For Nacht, Aisha was indeed a fated partner. She had lived a hard and painful life, and yet, or rather, therefore, her soul shine more brightly than any other, which then charmed Nacht with its brilliance.

She indeed had saved her dying light at that time. But at the same time, her loneliness, the feeling of being alone in the whole world, was sated. That day, that moment might be appropriate to be called fate.

Although reluctant, Nacht came down from the bed.

She only wore rose-colored underwear, so she took the night embrace and wore it. After that, she also equipped all types of equipment and in under one minute, she returned to her usual self.

After she became Nacht, she no longer needs to sleep. Among three great desires, the desire to sleep become the weakest. Of course, if she wanted, she could, but the dragon part of her was stronger so she did not actually need to. Her dragon part was stronger, so it affects her human side. Of course, it was not bad, if not due to her human side sentiment, she could stay awake all day and gaze at Aisha all the time. Which would be nice.

“Alright—let’s make a breakfast—”

She said it to none in particular.

She closed the door gently and then head down to the kitchen.

“Good morning, milady.”

The cooks in the kitchen greet her. It’s obvious that high-class inn did their best to prepare food even before the sun rises.

Nacht stood in one section where a small magic stone-powered stove and several pots and saucepans were placed.

Nacht gave the cooks some of the unique, game period ingredients and seasonings in exchange for lending part of the kitchen temporarily.

The reason was obvious, in this kind of high-class inn, the ingredients for their meals were mostly meat-based, and Aisha could not eat them. Of course, their salad and soups were also splendid, but it would be sad to let Aisha eat only those limited types of food. The elf was scarce even on the wide continent, and they were very secular and rarely enter the human settlement, so it’s common that not many to know their diet.

That’s why Nacht took the matter into her own hand and cook for Aisha.

Of course, Aisha was upset, “How could I trouble Nacht-sama for the meal! To-tomorrow I will do it!”

But well, Aisha was in the middle of her growth period, and she needs to sleep a lot. And Nacht would always kindly let her at least eight hours of sleep, so Aisha woke up pretty late. There was no way she has time to prepare breakfast.

Moreover, it was doubtful whether she could make it in the first place. And even if she learns now, it will take a lot of time.

“Silver husked rice and ghost nori, boiled vegetables for miso soup, fish…Aisha could not eat it so change it to tofu steak…also let’s make some sweetened chestnut tuber…just in case I will also prepare natto—”

Nacht took various ingredients that reminded her of Japan. Because she built three characters, she already completely conquers all types of ingredients whether it was from the shop or drop. Additionally, she was the type of person who would buy consumables like potions and food as much as her money allowed or until she reached the upper limit, so whether it was Japanese, Chinese, or Western food, she has enough to create as many cuisines as possible. That said she has no skill or job that allows adding effect to her food, so it was simple cooking.

She cooked silver husked rice in an earthenware pot and then took dashi for miso soup in another pot. She could not use katsuo (skipjack tuna), so she used seven-colored kombu, a rank 5 all-purpose kombu, and then add the various vegetables one by one to make miso soup.

She strained tofu, stir fry minced vegetables like lotus root, and bell pepper together with onion, mixed them with tofu, and then used taro as adhesive since she could not use meat and egg, and made the tofu hamburger. She mixed the leftover vegetables with tare and pour them above the tofu and the main dish was completed.

Rank 6 chestnut Tubber was delicious on its own. And thus, she only worked on it a little bit. After parboiling, she cools them, adds more water, adds sugar and skit lemon, also thick honey, and then boil them until they almost overflow. It was really sweet, but since Aisha love sweet, it should be suitable for her was what was in Nacht’s mind as she moved them to the dish.

In the end, Nacht add charcoal fire Natto as garnish and the meal was completed.

Nacht was just a common university student on the inside so she could not make anything fancy. But there were some who were curious about her dish,

“Wow, it looks delicious today too—”

And praise as such.

It was a noble who often showed his face around when Nacht finished cooking as if he planned the time perfectly.

Acting as if it’s a coincidence he appeared right when Nacht finished. He started appearing two or maybe three days ago and Nacht has become familiar with this bald middle-aged man. He was a bit on the plump side, and his feature was slightly bad, but apparently, he was a distinguished noble.

His clothes were decent, but if he stood beside Nacht, Nacht would be the one that looked like the daughter of some nobility.

“Hmm, too bad, my cooking was only for Aisha—there is no portion for you.”

“Wahahaha, that’s harsh—how about I give you two gold coins? Even like this, I am still a pretty famous gourmet you know—”

His name was Randolph Do Lancetear. His name and appearance did not really match. Additionally, his appearance and personality also did not match.

Since the first time they met Nacht could already look and judge the color of his soul. That’s why she knew he was someone who was closer to the good side. But for people who did not know, he looked like a common evil noble. In a novel, he would someone who would say something like ‘I will treasure you as my slave guehehehe’.

“Hahaha, I put my heart on this cooking, there is no way I would sell it for money—nouveau rich like you should be content with something you could buy with money.”

Nacht refused.

“That’s harsh. You are so cruel—even look like this, I worked hard you know? Most merchants have cunning minds and are troublesome. And I must wrestle my way every day against them. This time too I come to trade city when I don’t actually want to, flick my abacus with my friend to secure budget and delivering goods—wishing for a small reward is not a sin right?”

He said various things without being asked, and it’s hard to guess what he really wanted, but Nacht did not feel any disgust from Randolph. His appearance might not the best, but of course, Nacht won’t say it.

“Did you just think something rude?”

Huh, no clue.

“But young miss really worked hard every day—this place’s food is first-rate you know? Eating once cost around five silver coins—but I am really interested in the unique ingredients you used.”

Randolph said as he wiped the droll in the corner of his mouth.

His passion for gourmet was the real deal.

“Never in billion years, you would be able to taste Nacht-sama cooking—”

But Nacht actually did not feel bad interacting with him.

Of course, it was not at the level she would share the food she made for Aisha, but as he has become her conversation partner every day lately, she did not mind giving him something. Randolph was the epitome of noble, but he did not mind the slightest Nacht way of speaking. It might be his passion for food that rein him in, but nevertheless, he never resorts to use force, so Nacht actually thought pretty good of him.

Well, having him come every day like a little puppy waiting for leftover actually annoy her a little.

“—But well, can’t be helped. This must be also a fate. I will give you a celestial fruit—enjoy it to your heart content.”

Nacht said and then took a fresh fruit and throw it at him. Since Aisha has eaten that one, she did not favor Randolph over Aisha.

Unlike his build, he was quite agile and able to catch the fruit easily. Nacht nodded in satisfaction.

She put the breakfast she made for Aisha in the storage and then climb the stair to woke up the sleeping beauty.

In the dining hall where Randolph was left behind.

“I could give you twenty gold coins—”

That murmur reached none.
