Epic of Caterpillar

"And I can\'t believe I never had this idea back then!" I laughed. "You\'re really useful for this, Wyvern Overlord! I can\'t believe it… The long and wide blade, the ability to produce heat, you\'re a walking pan!"

"Please stop saying that, also I can\'t walk…" The Wyvern Overlord sighed.

"Ah, this food\'s so good… I think I am recovering my stamina very quickly. This is incredible." Frank said. "Whatever powers you\'ve used over it, this food is like an incredible Elixir, I can feel I am recovering my strength and relieving my exhaustion by merely eating this food…"

"You must be exaggerating…" I sighed.

"No, this is really good, even the wounds I got are healing." Frank said with a smile. "Wounds made by Overseers are very hard to heal but this food is hastening the natural regeneration process."

"That\'s insane…" I muttered. "Well, whatever."

Is Cooking Arts really that amazing?!

I mean, I\'ve always been quite good at cooking, but there was always my kitchen monkeys for the job, most of the time I still did open field cooking and cooked what we hunted with my family.

Ah… my family. I miss going into dungeons with them all. I guess once I became a goddess all of that slowly faded away, and it was just wars. I kind of want to go back to that simple life for a bit.

Once I get things sorted out, we\'ll surely go more into dungeons and to just explore the world around us some more. Maybe go to space too or I don\'t know, I\'ll have to wait until we get there first though.

"Ahh, I can\'t stop eating. I never thought this evil dragon I slain would be this tasty…" Said Luminous. "He was surely a monster if he ended becoming just food, hahahaha!"

"What? Did you thought he might had been like you?" I wondered.

"In the battle I had the impression he might be intelligent, but he was just a very wild and savage monster. Still, it is a pity, it was the first time I saw someone that was my "kind" and yet he wanted me dead…" Sighed Luminous.

"Yeah most dragons are like that." I said. "Frank are you like that?"

"Wait, what? Ehhh… no?" Frank said.

"Wait, he\'s a dragon?!" Luminous asked. "Weren\'t you some random guy that came from space?"

"…I was given the Divine Protection of Null, a powerful Dragon God that wanders between universes and even dimensions. Later on I ended evolving into a Dracolich when I became an Undead. I had acquired a Dragon Bloodline by then and then it transformed." Said Frank. "After that I\'ve been able to transform at will, though I\'ve had to get used to it… In a big battle against a powerful Demon King from a world I had visited, I had to go all out against such a threat, it was a very hard fight, to say the least."

"Huh, so you really went around other worlds, eh?" I wondered.

"Kind of… Anyways, my dragon transformation is something I only do when I need a quick boost to my power. I will always prefer to just remain as I am…" Said Frank. "I wasn\'t a born a dragon, sorry, Luminous."

"Oh… I had no idea people could just gain the ability to transform into one." Luminous said.

"How come you can\'t? Little Bubu here is the living proof!" I said, showing Bubu at my side, he was stuffing himself eating a mountain of dragon steaks.

"Bubuuu!" He said happily.

As we had our feast, time went by rather quickly and once everyone finished eating, they were too tired, so they began taking  nap excluding Frank. For the desert elf twins it was now fairly easy to create something like a house made of hardened mud, so they got inside of there to rest while not being beaten by the deadly sunlight.

Meanwhile, while they slept, I decided to begin my alchemy. I decided to just do alchemy first and then smack them with a hammer later.

"So do you have portable the cauldron?" I wondered.

"I do… Here." Frank quickly summoned a beautiful cauldron out of thin air, placing it over the floor. "And this is the [Portable Divine Furnace]."

CLANK! CLANK!

Both enormous things appeared over the floor with no difficulties other than the loud sound they made once they appeared. Frank seems to obviously possess an Inventory ability as he can store things there and bring them out at will.

"Alright, the [Portable Divine Alchemy Cauldron] and the [Portable Divine Furnace] to your service, Kireina." He said. "Take this as a payback for that delicious food. If you can make more of that then I can do you more favors."

"I never thought you would like it that much but sure! I\'ll take what I can. We are doing business here then!" I laughed.

"Sure, I suppose." Laughed Frank. "Now, do you want my help?"

"Nah, I can figure out stuff myself…" I said while shrugging.

Ding!
