Chapter 101 101: Preparing the Ingredients

”So… Begin by heating the water in a large pot, adding the carnivore rabbit bones, slime extract, garlic, ginger, onion, and dried mushrooms. Bring it to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the slime extract fully,” Kaiden read the instructions from Madame Spiceʼs book utterly shamelessly, making Sarah giggle, ”Hehehe! He truly had no clue at all! I knew it; heʼs winging it!”

”Yes, Chef!” Aria shouted merrily and brought out a big pot, filled it with water, and put it on the stove. Luna, meanwhile, moved to grab the bones and slime extract. Nyx elected to begin chopping. Since her part took longer, the other two soon joined her in the cutting duties.

While they were busy with the preparations, Kaiden put on a pleasant background music track that made the atmosphere of the stream even better. It had a very nice vibe to it, Sarah thought, as she licked her spoon clean of any remaining N*tella.

”Slime extract… We just started cooking, but I already donʼt wanna taste it…” Luna grumbled under her breath in her typical adorable manner.

”I heard itʼs an ingredient that elevates many meals to the next level,” Nyx responded.

”Alright. It says… While the broth simmers, take all of the proteins and thinly slice them into even, bite-sized pieces. Arrange them on separate plates for easy access,” Kaiden continued once they were done.

”Master- I mean, Chef, you should introduce the meats!” Nyx nudged.

Kaiden nodded, cleared his throat dramatically, and gestured toward the counter where the selected meats were arranged in simple trays. ”Ladies and gentlemen, allow Master Chef Kaiden to present our premium selection of dungeon delicacies. Feast your eyes on these horribly expensive, overpriced proteins!”

Nyx simply grinned at her loverʼs antics, Luna muttered something about ”boundless shamelessness,” while Aria clapped enthusiastically.

”First!” Kaiden dramatically pointed to the tray containing reddish-pink meat. ”The infamous carnivorous rabbit whose bones we already used for the broth! Donʼt let its size fool you—this creature of terror can bite through steel. However, its corpse provides tender, lean meat with a mild, gamey flavor. A classic of dungeon cuisine!”

He moved on to the next tray, which featured chunks of light blue meat. ”Next, we have glowfin eel! Known for its mesmerizing glow in shallow dungeon streams, this slippery creature offers a delicate, sweet taste.”

- TouchGrass: Are we sure eel and rabbit are supposed to go in the same pot?

- Kaidenʼs Wife: Kai knows best; donʼt ask stupid questions.

- Divine Light: I once shat myself in a dungeon and went to take a dip in the nearby river, thatʼs when this eel attacked my jewel sack… Every day, I wake up and immediately say a prayer to all that is holy for the presence of a healer in our team that day.

- DeleteYuumi: yikes.

Kaiden stepped to the third tray, where dark, rich-looking meat sat. ”Now, the star of the show: razor warthog! If youʼve watched my dungeon stream—of which you can watch a very cool edited video after this stream ends—you would know this monster type was my first kill! While considered a weak monster, its meat has a strong, earthy flavor thatʼs unmatched by any other beast of its rank. Itʼs hearty, savory, and just what we need to balance out the flavors in our pot.”

He parted his arms wide apart, gesturing at the plates. ”There you have it, ladies and gentlemen: our lineup of monster meats for todayʼs meal!”

Aria clapped excitedly again. ”Chef, I canʼt wait to try them all!”

Luna sighed as she grabbed a knife and muttered, ”Iʼll just order takeout.”

Kaiden wasnʼt having it. ”As the man of this household, the duty of ensuring my ladies eat a healthy diet falls to me, so no takeouts today! We eat what we make.” He then whispered in a low tone, ”I will cry myself to sleep if we have to spend more money on food today.”

Nyx began slicing the warthog meat into smaller chunks while saying, ”I would be careful with my words if I were you. Assistants shouldnʼt anger the chef, or he will start shouting obscenities at his pitiful cooks like all the good chefs do.”

”Itʼs only that one arrogant British dude… If he tried speaking like that to me, I would beat him up.”

Their banter continued as the girls began preparing the plates with varying levels of enthusiasm.

”The broth already smells so good!” Nyx spoke up as she hungrily inhaled some warm air escaping from the pot.

”Great. Form three stations. Each of you will be responsible for cutting a monster up.”

The girls did as instructed, and Kaiden began making rounds between the three to examine their handiworks.

He started with Luna, who chose the rabbit to work with. She was sulking a bit due to having been denied the opportunity to order restaurant food, so Kaiden evidently decided to cheer her up. Sarah saw the man move behind the Supreme Empress, only to hug her. He rested his hands on her belly while laying some loving smooches on her lush, purple hair.

”Heʼs so sweet…” Sarah whispered dreamily. She was having amazing fun watching the show, it improved her mood greatly.

- Kaidenʼs Wife: Ugh! Iʼm so jealous!! Wish I could be there too…

- TouchGrass: Simping for online personalities never ends well.

- Thirsty247: Shut up, nerd.

”Itʼll be tasty, Iʼm sure of it. Donʼt worry your little head about such things,” Kaiden said once he was done kissing her head.

”Iʼm sorry, Iʼm not mad about the food or anything… Itʼs just…” Luna replied in a soft tone, making Sarah think the girl mustʼve felt like she was being unreasonable.

”Yes?” Kaiden prodded for answers.

”… I didnʼt like your interactions with the pink bimbo.” After some great inner deliberations, she revealed what caused her to be grumpy.

”Hehe! So thatʼs what it was. I understand her completely...” Sarah mused once she finally understood—Luna was agitated because Kaiden got utterly mesmerized by Nyxʼs very heavily bouncing breasts when she was asking her question.

”Ah. That was my bad, most certainly,” Kaiden nodded along sagely before saying, ”But weʼve been through this dance before. I told you already that chest size matters little to me. Whatʼs truly important is the woman theyʼre attached to, and you are one wonderful woman.”

Sarah gasped at his unexpected declaration, and she didnʼt seem to be alone.

- Kaidenʼs Wife: Yesssssss!!!!! I knew Kai wasnʼt a shallow man like the others! Thereʼs more to us than the measurements of our chest!

”Bastard, youʼre saying one thing and then doing another!” Luna accused before taking on a deep, manly tone to imitate Kaiden, ”I donʼt care about a girlʼs bust size…” She then turned toward Nyx, who was watching the whole thing going down with amused eyes, and Luna started ogling her bazookas. ”Yeah, my beloved little Luna, I swear I donʼt care, not at all, but let me just stare at my cow-uddered girlfriend—who very obviously displays her inflated wares deliberately, without an ounce of shame in her entire being—for a few seconds as if Iʼm currently seeing the worldʼs most beautiful sight. But I still love you just as much as I love her though. I swear on everything that is holy.”
