Chapter 620 - Cooking Slimes
-----
This is definitely one of the greatest challenges there has ever been! I had been looking around for a while, but I can"t help but find this as a great challenge, the opportunities are too little, there is barely any chance, and she shows no openings.
She"s truly an admirable powerhouse.
Benladra, that"s it.
She really doesn"t let me escape.
Just recently, she spread her tiny arms around my chest, as if hugging me.
That melted my heart… My daughter is so cute I would even destroy the entire world for her.
Ahem, maybe that was a bit of an exaggeration.
Nonetheless, I can"t move.
Benladra… let me go…
"Muh…"
She suddenly gave a little sound, as she rubbed her face into my chest, and suddenly, her beautiful gray, white eyes opened, looking at me sleepily.
"…"
"…"
I looked back at her in surprise. Maybe she would wake up and let me go?
"Pa… p…"
And then, after saying those few words, she rubbed her face over my chest and continued sleeping. I seriously don"t know what this child is doing.
She woke up only to sleep once more! and she said those little faint words that only melted my heart even more.
I feel like slacking off and just sleeping some more… but a promise is a promise.
And using my slime clones alone won"t do, I really should get in the laboratory.
Come on, wake up already!
Agh! I can"t…
I give up.
I look into Benladra"s adorableness, if I turn into a slime, I might be able to slowly sneak away, but she could be left over the bed without anyone hugging her, Benladann is sleeping soundly to the other side of the bed after all.
Sigh… These are the problems of a parent, I see.
Our lives are truly filled with challenges.
…
When I woke up again, three hours had pa.s.sed.
Wait, did I slept that much?!
I opened my eyes and found Benladann sitting over the bed while breastfeeding our daughter.
"Good morning dear, are you okay?" she asked.
"Yes… I-I am…" I said.
"What"s wrong?" she asked.
"Ah… I think I overslept, didn"t I? I had to wake up early but Benladra was sitting over my chest the entire morning, so I couldn"t really move, I couldn"t bring myself to wake her up." I sighed.
"Oh… Aww, you"re such a good father. She woke up around half an hour ago and crawled into my chest. She immediately began to drink milk after that…" said Benladann.
"I see… Hahh… Today is another day where I have to revive one of those corpses, well… Let"s not hurry with this, how about I bring some breakfast like always?" I asked.
"Oh, that would be nice but you always do it… I feel a bit guilty…" she said.
"Ah, don"t feel like that, this is my duty as a husband." I said.
"Well… If you really want to, I can"t really stop you." She said.
"Exactly! And… Wait, I will use my slimes, maybe they"re already dexterous enough?" I wondered.
"Oh, can they share your abilities with cooking?" she asked.
"I think so? They can share a lot of things. Other alternative is asking my Head Clones which I named after colors to make food, but those guys are not as reliable. Well, they can cook as well as me, so maybe… Well, I will command slimes for now and see how it goes." I said.
I quickly put my mind into the task, as a dozen of blue and green-colored slimes I had generated out of my own body through the abilities I had acquired by eating slimes long time ago began to move.
They bounced around cutely and quickly reached the kitchen, which was empty.
There were several kitchen in the entire castle, actually, but the one I used was a vast and personal kitchen for me and Benladann, so n.o.body ever got inside unless I allowed them.
These slimes had small fragments of my soul and were connected to me through various powers and skills, so they were able to share a bit of my power, only a bit.
Concentrating my mind into controlling them from afar is not hard, but it is certainly not the easiest either. Nonetheless, I worked hard and quickly began to cook using them.
It was particularly easy when you finally get the hang of it, it wasn"t hard at all, actually! The power I had over commanding them and connecting my mind to them had certainly increased for the best.
Using the commanding powers, I commanded the slimes to move swiftly, as they began to cook for me, the food was nice and simple, so it wasn"t anything hard for them, making overly complicated things for breakfast was not my drill.
After around twenty minutes, most things were ready, and they didn"t looked half bad! Maybe I should just use my slimes from now on, especially because they can share the Cooking Magic Skill and use it to enhance their cooking methods and the flavor of the food.
I carried the food into the room using the slimes as well, surprising Benladann and Benladra as a small army of blue and green slimes showed up bringing plates of food and placing everything in a small table at the side of the bed.
"Oh my! This is ideal… Well done! This is amazing…" said Benladann.
"It is more mentally tiring than I originally thought though… Ugh… I should limit the times I do this if I don"t want to get a headache at the morning… I might as well do it myself next time." I said.
"Hm, if you get a headache then they might not really be the ideal way of making breakfast…" sighed Benladann, as she bit a toast.
"However, this toast is pretty good, so cheer up!" she said.
"Haha… I guess it is good, yeah…" I sighed.
"Papa…!"
Benladra stopped drinking milk and quickly walked away from Benladann, getting at my side and asking to be feed by me.
She has really grown spoiled.
