Gus had a bit of free time after that, he organized his thoughts and did a quick recap of his situation. Before anything else, Gus wanted to set aside a portion of the money he earned to buy food supplies, upgrade the Orphanages" structure and its facilities. This should be a good surprise for Sarah and the kids. He will need to look for a carpenter, very soon.Gus felt satisfied after he finally earned enough funds to purchase land and ingredients. But he also frowned after he realized, he was way off from his goal of owning a restaurant. He remembered he also needs a place for his restaurant. No sensible city would be willing to accept a Monster as a Landlord! To top it all off, even if he acquired the land he needed, he still has to do a proper study selecting his food, along with its respective prices in accordance with the store"s location! There is also a matter of hiring is a staff that would work under a monster! This is a very big problem for Gus.
He could do nothing about it for now. He needs to take advantage of the opportunity at present.
A Town Feast means a lot of food. LOTS AND LOTS of food. Gus grinned and wondered how many experience points he would gain if he cooks for the whole town of Yellowleaf! With more skill points, he knows he is a step closer getting strong, and also a step closer to owning a restaurant!
Obviously, Gus would invest his last remaining skill point in BARTER! Gus figured, he needed more ingredients in his pocket market. The three items he chose are Palm oil which is sold for 5 coppers, Soy Sauce sold for 6 coppers and finally garlic that sold for 3 coppers!
From what Gus had heard earlier, Minotaurs should have the same body for cows while the Orcs have the same structure for pigs. Although Gus was a little bit hesitant about consuming something that walks on two feet, Gus figured he should really get used to eating bipedal creatures.
Gus was practicing this certain skill that entertained the kids the other night. He used Morph on his helmet and transformed it into a mini, walking and talking Gusford! As a miniaturized knight, he made his way silently to catch up with Gretel and Rhoanne.
Meanwhile at the back of the Chapel grounds,
"And that"s how your big sister Rhoanne took down the bad monsters!" Said Rhoanne as she unloaded the last Minotaur down near their kitchen.
"Wow, Ms. Rhoanne! Could you teach me your helm-splitter move?!" asked Griffin.
"No! Teach me that dagger throw!" Said Cindy.
"How about teaching me unarmed techniques?" asked Gretel, as she posed with both her fists up.
Ray was also tugging at Rhoanne"s clothes while holding his Bow and Arrow Toy.
"Do you know any Magic, Big Sister Rhoanne?" shyly asked Little Sage.
"When you grow up a little bit more, then I promise I will teach them all! Haha!" Boasted Rhoanne to the kids.
"Little Ray, you should ask Boss Nico for that. He is way better than I am at using bows." said Rhoanne to Ray as she scruffed his hair. The ever silent Ray nodded and smiled at Rhoanne.
"Little Sage, Don"t tell anybody but I"m actually useless when it comes to magic. HaHa!" Rhoanne said to Little Sage as she scratched the back of her head.
"So your cook should be just inside the kitchen, right?" asked Rhoanne.
"I think he went home for a while to rest Bis Sis!" said Gretel with a stiff face.
"Yeah, urm.. he did mention that he needs to prepare for tonight"s feast!" said Griffin as his eyes were gazing all over the place.
"Really? Too bad then." said Rhoanne disappointed.

Sarah has just arrived where Rhoanne and the kids were. "Ah! Miss Rhoanne. You should be tired from your long journey. Please follow me and I will take you to your room."
"Then I"ll be taking your kind offer, Miss Sarah. I think I will need to take a nap for tonight"s celebration! I will see all of you later, kids!" said Rhoanne as she followed Sarah inside the Chapel"s common area.
The same time they both disappeared, the kids heard a voice from somewhere.
"Psst. Hey kids! Are there no other people around?" said the voice.
As the Kids all looked around, Little Sage looked down and smiled. "Mishter Gus!"
The braided little girl picked him up and hugged him as he really did look like a toy.
"Thank you little Sage." said Gus.
"I think it"s safe to talk Mister Gus." Said Gretel.
"Okay everyone, listen up! I will be cooking for tonight"s feast, But I need everybody"s help! Will you help me?" asked Gus.
"Of course Mr. Gus" -- shouted the Children as they were excited to learn cooking from Mr. Gus.
"All Right. Let"s go back to the Living room! Let"s discuss everything there!" said Gus.
Inside the Living Room------
Gus jumped off Little Sage"s hand and walked towards his body. As Gus" headless body picked up the little knight, it transformed back into a helmet.
"All Right Everyone Gather around!" everyone huddled around the table as they listened carefully to Gus.
From their discussion, It seems Gus will be cooking these for tonight.

The children were wondering if they can even finish these dishes.
Gus smirked and said "Did you already forget that I am here?" said Gus.
"Everybody line up! I have gifts for all of you!" said Gus.
Using his Skill "Impart" He made personalized Kitchen equipment just for the children.
First in line was their Big Sister Gretel. Gus Gave her a Chef"s knife and a Cleaver.
Her eyes lit up as she carefully observed the beautifully crafted knives she has never seen before.
The Knives" design is obviously from modern Earth as it had more functionality than the old versions.
Next in line was Griffin. Gus gave him a Butcher"s Cleaver and also a Chef"s knife.
He also examined his knives. He was excited about the Big Square Knife he had and wondered how to use it. As for Ray, He gave him Another Chef"s Knife and a Fillet Knife.
The silent Ray smiled and carefully observed the weird shape his fillet knife has. His fillet knife can even bend! Gus thought that it was a weird property for an Iron knife to have, but that"s the great System"s Magic in the works he thought. For Cindy, Gus Gave her Chef"s Knife and Paring Knife.
Cindy"s eyes shined as he looks at the small and sleek paring knife. She couldn"t believe there was such a small knife used for preparing food!
Little Sage was also Excited to receive her knife, but sadly she received none as she was still too young.
"Where"s mine? Sniff... Sniff... Hic.... Why Can"t I have one?"
As little Sage"s eyes welled up and started to make her gla.s.ses wet from all her tears, Gus picked her up gently and sat her down on a chair. Gus knelt down in front of her and stroke her head.
"Little Sage, I didn"t give you a knife because your hands are not yet big enough to use it safely. But don"t worry! Do you really think Big Brother Gus won"t give you anything?! That"s unthinkable, Little Sage! I will always have something for you!"
Gus then gave her an iron spoon made from his skill.
"Little Sage, You have the most important job of all! Your Job is to make sure that Everybody"s food tastes great! We don"t want to serve bad tasting food now, don"t we?" asked Gus while he pats her head.
"Yes.... hic. hic," said Little Sage as she calmed down a bit.
"Oh, dear! I almost forgot! You can also play with these if you get bored!" said Gus playfully.
Gus took out a wooden box and opened it in front of her. Everyone was surprised at what they saw.
Gus has made Little Sage her very own Action Figure set!
The highly detailed collection consists of:
- Little Sage with her book accessory!
- Gus with his Sword and Shield accessory!
-Silver-haired Gretel with a dagger accessory!
-Griffin with a giant axe accessory!
-Cindy with a dagger accessory!
- Ray with a Bow accessory!
All of his siblings are there! Gus even made an Action Figure Of:
- *SPECIAL EDITION* Rhoanne complete with her Two-Handed Sword Accessory!
- *SPECIAL EDITION* Big Sister Sarah with a Magic Staff Accessory!
"Oh No, Little Sage! They are not alone! Some Dangerous Monsters are also here to Attack them!" said Gus. He didn"t forget to make action figures of monsters such as Minotaurs, Orcs, Goblins and Dragons from his world.
"Do you like my present, Little Sage?" asked Gus.
Little Sage"s eyes lit up and started to get teary-eyed again.
"Yes! I really love them, Papa!"
Everyone was surprised when Little Sage called Gus, Papa. Little Sage leaped towards Gus and hugged him really tight. The other children started having teary eyes as well when Little Sage jumped to Gus. They were really happy for their youngest sister, finally having a father figure she accepted in her cold and broken heart.
Even Ms. Sarah couldn"t help but put her hands on her mouth and cry. It"s as if all the hardship this frail little girl has endured has suddenly disappeared like a fleeting bubble. It seems she was watching them from behind the living room doors all this time. She was thankful for the Fates to have responded to her prayers. She was especially thankful to Gus.
Gus was caught off-guard when Little Sage called him "Papa." He hugged her tightly and put her down on the ground.
"I"ll ask you again, will you accept the job of making sure the food your brothers and sisters make taste good?" asked Gus.
Little Sage rubbed the snot away from her nose, took out her Iron Spoon, raised it up in the air and shouted "YES PAPA! I ACCEPT! I will make sure their food tastes great or so help me!" shouted Little Sage as she waved her Iron spoon like a flag of victory.
"That"s my Daughter!" said Gus as he hugged her adopted daughter once more.
The Moment Gus hugged Little Sage, everyone couldn"t hold it in anymore and cried happily for them. They cried so hard that they even ignored Sarah who was already Crying even more loudly than they were!
