Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

Chef had quickly went to cook and brought all the food he had prepared, there were large steaks of Lake Snake, Mimic Meatloaf, and a ton of white rice which I created using Seed Creation as well! The food was rather simple, but he had made it so nicely that it was very tasty. I don’t know if he’s a better cook than me, but it is nice to have a second one, we can cook together to minimize the amount of effort it often takes to cook for a lot of people as well.

“So in resume, these mushrooms come from the Legendary Accessories of the Mushroom Hero! Isn’t that right, Lady Planta?” Asked the chief in disbelief, still having a hard time believing the history behind it.

“Indeed, these accessories all have some sort of magical power that by wearing them all together, allowed me to summon the Mushroom Brigade. They’re unlike conventional summons and will remain here… pretty much forever, I think? I cannot unsummon them either.” I said.

“Amazing, so they’re like people then…” Said the chief. “You guys are very talented, come to eat with us as well!”

“Thank you!”

“Then we shall eat some of what our brother has cooked.”

“Oh, so this is rice? Tasty!”

“W-Wait, is this a mushroom?! Chef! Why did you put our brethren in the food?!”

Chef quickly began to reprimand Sporegon who was complaining.

“It is a monster, not us, dummy! Just eat it up, it’s tasty.” Said Chef. “We cannot just waste the ingredients our divine lady has given to us, I cooked a pile of mushroom caps and added them to the food so it wouldn’t go to waste, now eat up!”

“Isn’t this technically cannibalism!?”

“This is… it feels slightly wrong.”

“Nom… OOH! This is tasty! Our kin is tasty!”

“S-Shut up!”

“Just eat, coward! Hahaha!”

It seems that Chef had added a lot of the mushrooms I had in my inventory which I gave to him. I had done it half-heartedly, as I didn’t thought he would actually cook them and left it to see if he would or not. I am rather surprised he actually did! Some of them are complaining, but half are already eating the food and enjoying it at the end… I guess they should consider it as monsters and not as their kin. It is quite funny how they discuss with one another.

“I do wonder… Were they once the retainers of the previous Mushroom Hero?” Asked the chief.

“We were!” Said Sporegon. “We once were his servants. We all perished in a battle against the Demon King of Miasma… But it seems that he had revived after thousands of years… How odd! Nonetheless, now that our hero has passed his legacy to our lady, she’s the new Mushroom Heroine, so we shall serve her…”

“Wait, you died?!” Asked Rita.

“S-Seriously?” Asked Titan while stuffing his mouth with rice.

“Yes, we died some time ago. I don’t remember anything from the time we were dead.” Said Chef. “But after that, we were summoned and… I guess we have been summoned right before we died, we are all on our prime, so we are rather strong from the get-go! Although it seems we can develop further with the mysterious new powers flowing through the world, which weren’t there in the past, mysteriously so.”

“Indeed! There were no such powers before, lady Planta. The “System” that you call and the powers the Little Acorn got are all mysterious things we didn’t saw before!” Said Magius, a mage Mushroom Brigade member, she had the voice of a woman and her mushroom cap was purple instead of orange, she wore a cute black and blue robe.

“It is all quite new!”

“Yeah, a lot of new stuff to discover!”

“Ugh, though… I miss our previous lord as well!”

“Lord Lucious…”

“So it seems that things before were different than now, huh?” I wondered. “I am so confused but… it’s alright, I guess we can discover it as time goes on and we explore the world or something… Though to be honest, I am mostly invested into building a farm for now, guys, is it okay?”

“Yeah, it is alright!” Said Sporegon. “We shall serve you in anything you need, don’t feel forced to do something you don’t want to!”

“Indeed!”

“We are at your service!”

“Tell us and we’ll do everything we can to do that!”

“Hahaha, you guys are so reliable!” I laughed a bit. “But relax, I won’t ask you anything for now aside from enjoying this meal! …But in other things, you said the hero was named Lucious? Was that his name?” I wondered.

“Yes!” Said Sporegon, as he began to recall the past. “Our oldest memories with Lord Lucious were in our infancy, when we were mere little Mushroom kids walking around the forest… In there, we once meet Lord Lucious, a young Human child that seemed to belong to the Noble Family of the Luminous Kingdom! I think it was close to this forest or something? Anyways, in such times, we had ran off the village to hunt for food, and we ended being attacked by a giant bear!”

“We thought we would die in there!”

“We were small and untalented; we couldn’t properly defend ourselves…”

“Not even our Poisonous Spores were developed yet so we were left to die…”

“But suddenly, a brave blond boy appeared in that time, it was Lord Lucious Luminous!”

“When he was merely ten years of age, he saved us all and defeated the bear with a wondrous usage of his blade and light magic! In seconds, he defeated the bear!”

“Back then, our tribe was small but we were considered monsters by the other people because of our uncanny resemblance with Walking Mushroom Monsters, we were hunted down!”

“But Lord Lucious didn’t discriminated against us… He even asked us if we were fine…! Sniff… Oh, Lord Lucious!”

“He was an incredible man, and since the day he saved our lives that we sworn our loyalty to him…” ．𝙘𝙤𝙢

“And we died at his side as well!”
