A Journey That Changed The World

Chapter 702 Vanilla Ice Cream

?Once he had finished breakfast, he waited for the others to get ready so they could return to Greenwood City and finish the last two fights of the Qualification Round. After eating, the girls got up individually and told him they would wash before leaving.

Each one kissed him and then rushed off to the bathroom, giggling. Archer stared at the empty plates and had a great idea for earning even more gold. He began to ponder dishes he could make from Earth to sell throughout his kingdom, gaining him even more wealth.

He could only think of ice cream, which was a good start. Archer closed his hands and used Mana Manipulation to create milk, cream, sugar, and unicorn vanilla in a large bowl, which appeared almost instantly, thanks to his mana.

‘I still can’t believe I can create stuff using Mana Manipulation. It’s cheating, but who am I to complain,’ he chuckled.

It used more mana than anticipated, but he shrugged while dumping the ingredients in the bowl before stirring it using Mana Manipulation. That’s when a familiar aroma began to waft through the air, enveloping him in a cloud of nostalgia.

The sweet scent of vanilla ice cream transported him back to his childhood on Earth, where he would eagerly await his mother’s homemade desserts. Archer quickly scooped a spoonful of the freshly made ice cream, anticipation coursing through him.

The creamy texture and sweet smell promised a taste of pure indulgence. With a sense of childlike wonder, he brought the spoon to his lips and took a tentative bite. Instantly, his taste buds erupted with delight as the rich flavors danced across his palate.

It was like nothing he had ever tasted – smooth, creamy, and imbued with the essence of vanilla. Memories of his childhood flooded back, each spoonful transporting him to a simpler time when the world was filled with nothing but the joy of homemade desserts and laughter.

Archer couldn’t help but release a contented sigh, relishing each lingering taste on his tongue. All the times he had eaten ice cream on Earth came back to him. He was lost in his memories as the scenes flashed in his mind.

His daydreaming was suddenly interrupted by footsteps approaching. He shook his head, banishing the lingering thoughts of home. Then he turned around to see Aeris standing there with a curious expression.

Archer examined the boy’s short black eyes and glowing red eyes. His features were delicate and ladylike, which confused him, but he shook his head. His smile widened as he greeted his friend, motioning for him to come closer.

“Aeris, you’ve got to try this,” he exclaimed, gesturing towards the freshly made ice cream bowl.

Intrigued, he approached him and accepted the spoonful of creamy goodness. As the cold sweetness touched his lips, Aeris’s eyes widened in delight, and a soft moan escaped his lips, much to Archer’s surprise.

”Why are you moaning like a woman? Is it that nice,” he commented while eating some himself.

Aeris yelped before quickly changing the subject, ”It’s delicious. What is this dish?”

”Vanilla ice cream. I created it while waiting for the girls,” that’s when he heard some of the others entering the kitchen.

Llyniel, Sera, Leira, and Hemera appeared but stopped walking when they smelled the ice cream and spotted the two eating. The dragon girl rushed over and looked inside the bowl, her ruby-red eyes glistening.

Archer laughed at her reaction as Hemera asked, ‘What is this smell?

”It’s this stuff,” he motioned to the large bowl. ”It’s called ice cream, and I plan to open desert shops all over Draconia and beyond.”

Archer’s smile widened as he watched Leira’s ears twitch and perk up, her tail held high in excitement. It was clear she was getting even more thrilled, and he couldn’t help but feel delighted by her enthusiasm.

The purple-haired cat girl couldn’t control herself anymore as she darted toward the bowl and looked inside, only to have her green eyes widen. Archer saw this before commenting, ”Try some Leira. It’s delicious.”

As Leira took a spoon and tried some ice cream, her initial smile faded, and she froze in place. He watched with growing concern as her tail went rigid and her ears flopped against her head.

“Leira, are you alright?” Archer asked, his voice tinged with worry.

But before he could take another step towards her, Leira suddenly shivered as her green eyes widened with a wild look. Without warning, she lunged at Archer, surprising him with her sudden movement.

“What’s gotten into you, my cat girl?” He exclaimed, trying to dodge her unexpected attack.

But her cat-like reflexes were too quick, and she tackled Archer to the ground, pinning him down with surprising strength, “Husband!” she exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement. “This is the most delicious thing I’ve ever tasted! I can’t control myself!”

He couldn’t help but laugh at Leira’s enthusiastic reaction, even as he struggled to free himself from her grasp, “Alright, alright,” he chuckled, trying to catch his breath. “Just… let me up, and we can enjoy the ice cream together.”

Archer stood up as the other girls started to appear and were drawn to the ice cream as they saw everyone eating some. Hemera approached him and commented, ”Did you happen to use Unicorn Vanilla?”

Hearing that, his eyes widened, causing the sun elf to laugh before she explained, ”It causes demi-humans, especially cats, to go nuts. It’s hilarious because they don’t normally act like Leira but because she loves you.”

After speaking, Hemera returned to the table to eat more. He watched Nefertiti delicately scoop up a spoonful of the vanilla ice cream he had conjured. As she tasted it, a subtle shiver ran through her elegant frame, and a soft, involuntary moan escaped her lips.

“What is this delightful creation, darling?” she inquired, her voice as smooth as silk.

Archer smiled, pleased by her reaction. “It’s vanilla ice cream, my succubus,” he replied, his voice tinged with satisfaction. “It was made using a bit of magic and a touch of my charm.” 𝑖𝘦.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Nefertiti’s eyes sparkled with interest as she savored another spoonful. “It’s outstanding,” she remarked, her tone filled with admiration and a bit of jealousy. “Girls better not start flocking to you because of this husband.”

He approached the pink-haired girl, her narrowed eyes fixed on him. Without hesitation, he leaned in and captured her plump lips, drawing her closer to him. As they kissed, Nefertiti’s tense demeanor melted away.

When they parted, he whispered, “Don’t worry, Nefi. I’m always yours. Forever and always.”

After tenderly kissing her lips, he became aware of the envious glances directed his way. Understanding the need for fairness, he made a point to approach each girl in the room, except Maeve, Eveline, and Aurelia, who watched with evident jealousy in their eyes.

Archer sighed before embracing the three girls, which seemed to make them happy as he didn’t want to go any further after getting with Kassandra. Afterward, the girls sat down and began to enjoy the ice cream they all loved, prompting Llyniel to ask, ”What ingredients did you use, Arch?”

”Sugar, milk, cream, and Unicorn Vanilla,” Archer answered with a smile.

The wood elf nodded before taking another mouthful and moaning as it melted on her tongue. She turned to him and said, “If you get me the vanilla plant, I can grow it so you get a good yield due to my magic.”

Upon hearing this, Archer’s smile broadened. He nodded in agreement and replied, “Alright, once we’re back in the empire, I’ll purchase hundreds of them to stockpile the ingredients and have you grow them alongside all the other stuff.”

Llyniel agreed with a smile as they started eating until it was gone. Afterward, the large group returned to Greenwood City, where he opened a gate to their tent. Once they stepped through, they heard people walking past the tent.

Maeve turned to Archer and spoke, pulling out a cloak to wrap around herself. ”Arch, I have to head back to my family and check-in. Can we meet after the fights?”

He nodded with a charming smile, ”Of course, Maeve. You know where we are.”

She gave him a sweet smile, but that’s when Archer sensed a subtle shift in her demeanor. Her gaze softened, and a small smile graced her lips as she approached him. Without a word, she embraced him warmly, her arms wrapping around him tightly.

Archer returned the hug, feeling a sense of fondness wash over him, “Take care, Arch,” Maeve whispered, her voice tinged with sincerity as she pulled back slightly to look at him. “I’ll be back before you know it.”

Archer returned her smile, his heart warmed by her gesture. “Safe travels, Maeve. I’ll be waiting for you,” he replied, his voice filled with genuine warmth.

As Maeve stepped away, Eveline approached, her expression softened with a rare display of affection. With a small smile, she reached out and hugged Archer. Surprised by her gesture, Archer returned the embrace, feeling a sense of camaraderie between them.

“Until we meet again, Dragon,” Eveline murmured, her voice soft but filled with unspoken appreciation.

“Stay safe, my beautiful rabbit girl,” Archer responded with a smile, his voice gentle as he released her from the hug.

With farewells exchanged, Maeve and an embarrassed Eveline departed, leaving Archer with his girls, plus Aurelia and Aeris, by his side. As the group made their way towards the arena, Archer felt a pang of nostalgia for the friends he had left behind.

However, his thoughts were soon interrupted as they bumped into familiar faces on the way, “Arch!” came a cheerful voice, and turning around, he found himself face to face with Lioran, Cian, and Alaric.

Archer greeted them, “It’s good to see you all,” he exclaimed, his voice filled with genuine delight.

Lioran smiled when getting close and embraced him, ”It’s good to see you, brother. Have you heard what happened?”

He shook his head, causing the lion boy to speak, ”The Novgorod Heroes have stopped the chaos in their empire. Even the Nightshade Emperor congratulated them as they helped the high elf army during a bad battle.”
