Chapter 1009 Drake’s Food Has No Equal!
—–(Drake POV)
Some minutes have passed since we got here and things have gotten more and more busy. After I finally finished cooking my first batch of food, my strategy finally began to work. My beautiful wife serving food, my cute little girls in front eating snacks and just being themselves easily attracted people from both sexes without issues. I was being a bit sneaky, but to be honest, I had to be!
After all, those damn elves in the other side were really winning the contest! I already noticed the pig guy from the chef guild walking around tasting the food, and he had stopped in their stall for over twenty minutes now eating everything with fascination. Those bastards didn’t had normal food either, but Earth food!
They were, without a doubt, damn reincarnated people! And they were also the same elves my slimes noticed back then walking around the streets while being chased by Vampires, and then hiding in the sewers… Are they related to Greenwood? After all those Vampires seemed evil-aligned, so I can already guess they’re working for Red and Greenwood one way or the other.
That group of Elves must be up to something. Could the Frost Queen’s hypothesis be real? Is there an underground facility made by Greenwood right below this city?! If that’s the case, their goal might be to rescue fellow reincarnated people.
I really should help them then, since I meet this bastard that burned my wife’s village to the ground that I’ve sworn on myself that I would stop his machinations and also help those people he had captured the same way he wanted to capture Benladann.
But right now, I can’t really approach them out of the blue either, I am in the middle of the contest!
”Babah… Hungy…” Benladra cried, as she seemed to not be able to hold her hunger any longer, the food I was making and serving was way too delicious looking.
”Hunwy…” Kate said as well, she seemed just as hungry.
”Girls, we just ate thirty minutes ago…” Sighed Benladann.
”They can barely take it when we are making so much delicious food.” Laughed Miranda. “Here.” Miranda quickly gave the girls one curry bun each, alongside a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.
The two girls snacking in the food drove even more people by the dozens, as they saw the two enjoy their meal. The small and soft bread they had never seen before filled with meat and colorful curry quickly drove people to try what these girls were having.
”I want some of that bread too!”
”I’ll buy three!”
”You have orange juice from the Orange Forest Fiefdom?! Give me a glass please! I’ve heard it is incredible!”
”When is my risotto ready? I’ve been waiting for a while now!”
”C-Coming! Please wait a bit more!” Laddan said.
”Have a bit more patience please.” Benlah said.
Benladann’s parents were working hard as well, supporting their daughter as she served the many clients we were enjoying today. I had set over ten tables with seats for everyone to sit down but even then there was a ton of people. We were getting tons of sales!
”This curry is magnificent! I had never eaten something so flavorful before!”
”What is this bread? It is so soft and… it is filled with this curry too?! I never thought the combination would be so heavenly!”
”This juice is so fresh… It feels as if they brought the oranges straight out of the farm or something…”
”I never ate rice this way, risotto is amazing, the cheesy flavor and the wet rice is so good…”
”This skewered meat has some delicious “soy sauce” or whatever it is over it! It makes it so tasty, sweet yet savory… I can’t even really describe this flavor… that guy said it was “umami” though!”
”Let me have some of that juice!”
”No, it’s mine!”
There were even couples fighting over the food they ordered because they wanted some more. I felt bad I was breaking friendships and relationships due to my delicious food, which when cooked using Spirits and Spirit Spice coupled with Dragon Salt made for an incredible flavor booster. I was making everyone literally addict to my food.
I quickly decided to level up my preparations by cooking something bigger. I quickly took out big chunks of that divine monster boar meat I got and began cutting it into large slices, putting them over a pan with butter, and frying it over. The delicious smell of the meat attracted more people, who were drove like bees over flowers.
”H-How much for that piece of meat? It looks amazing!”
”Oh this? This is a special Mountain Boar I’ve hunted; its meat is amazing but they’re incredibly rare as well. I’ve got a limited amount so I’m selling them at 3 gold coins, it comes with risotto at the side and a big jug of orange juice.”
”3 Gold coins?! That’s a bit too much for a piece of meat…”
”Yeah… but…”
”But the smell…”
”Man…”
”Ugh, screw it!”
A man quickly bought a plate with the meat and sat down in a Spirit Table and Spirit Chair I created in an instant for him, as he tasted it. Dozens of people sitting around him looked in surprise.
”Hm?!” The Mountain Giant man suddenly felt as if he had eaten poison by his shock.
However… he had indeed tasted heaven itself.
”Hahhh… T-This is delicious. This is heavenly! I am… am I in heaven?!” He muttered. Everyone else quickly felt taken aback, gasping.
”I-I want some of that!”
”Give me two!”
”I want that and some more curry buns!”
”Can I get one to get back home?”
”Please tell me you’ve got more!”
Business was thriving, and just when our fellow pig beast-kin man, the guild master of the chef guild, approached my stall with a smile.
”Drake! I am glad to see your business is going well, I have come to personally taste your dishes once more!” He said.
The moment of truth has come… after he’s done with this, there’ll be some more time for all of us to sell as much as possible and then a final contest where we’ll battle with everything we’ve got to convince the judges. I’ve never felt so nervous in my life in a non-combat scenario aside from when Benladra was born!

”Greenwood… So you’ve hid in here…”
A mass of countless vines and branches stretched across the underground, finally finding what he has been looking, an enormous underground facility several meters below the city of Heaven Port.
Sneaking through the ground and rocks, the enormous living mass of vines, plants, branches, and roots emerged and stealthily hid behind a giant stone, as he noticed a large group of elves wearing magic armor and holding magic weapons walking and guarding around the entrance to the facility. There were even mech suits…
A wave of telepathy swiftly reached Elena and Elma, as the girls quickly notified of this to Alma and Hermes who were hurriedly serving food to their never-ending clients.
”Root found the place.” Elena said.
”It seems it is heavily guarded though…” Elma said.
”Well, when hasn’t it been?” Alma smiled. “It’s time.”
