Primordial Draconic Incubus With A Gourmet Chef System

While they did that, Lucian turned his attention to the queue of hungry customers, "Thank you all for your patience. Please come in and make yourselves comfortable. Also, remember to read my menu, there are two new additions — Berry Blast and Sweet Berry Cream Glazed Dough Balls.

The Siren's Melody Poached and Sous Vide Filet Mignon pair perfectly with the sweet and fruity Berry Blast." Lucian shamelessly advertised his dishes as he entered the kitchen. To be a successful business owner being shameless at times was essential. Shame was a temporary emotion, which he could not be bothered about.

As Lucian's voice faded, everyone, except Lily had already taken their seats.

Due to the restaurant only having five, four-person tables, they had to break up their groups and sit with others; however, they did not mind. In front of Lucian's food, they could not care about such trivialities.

As they checked the menus, Lily waited at the side. Soon, exclamations of surprise rang in the restaurant.

"Chef Lucian was right, his new menu items are cheap! Even we can order them!" Garrett said as he read the two new additions to the menu.

"But would they still be as delicious as the other dishes?" Hervy frowned. He was skeptical that Lucian's Berry Blast and Sweet Berry Cream Glazed Dough Balls could compare to the Siren Melody Poached Egg and Sous Vide Filet Mignon. After all, if it was delicious, it would have been priced higher.

"I doubt Chef Lucian would create something that is not up to his high standards," Garrett replied confidently.

"The Berry Blast is only five hundred Gold Coins?"

"Who cares about the Berry Blast? You idiot, look at the next page, the Sweet Berry Cream Glazed Dough Balls are only fifty Gold Coins!"

"What? Only fifty Gold Coins? Since when have Chef Lucian's dishes been so cheap!?"

A moment later, the nobodies could not help but stiffen as they realized they had said five hundred Gold Coins and fifty Gold Coins were cheap. Before witnessing Lucian's terrifying prices, food priced in Silver Coins was astronomical, let alone food priced in Gold Coins.

'Has my worldview changed?' They thought.

"Miss, Senior said he would be adding a new dish called Cheese and Herb Garlic Butter Dough Balls. But it's not on the menu." James respectfully said to the waitress. Ever since he realized how close she was with Lucian, his attitude toward her changed.

Lily frowned. "It's not on there?"

'Could it be Big Brother Lucian forgot to add the dish to the menu?' She wondered.

"If you want to eat the Cheese and Herb Garlic Butter Dough Balls you will have to wait until I return from my trip to Harmony City." Lucian simply explained from within the kitchen.

James sighed "Haah, I was looking forward to it. I don't have a particular fondness for sweet foods."

"Hmm, Chef Lucian what do you mean by your trip to Harmony City?" Garm, who had been reading the menu, became stunned as he overheard their alarming conversation.

Li Yong and Anselm immediately raised their heads from the menus and looked at Lucian with worried gazes.

Albert, on the other hand, remained closed-eyed as if he had fallen asleep.

"I have some important matters to handle in Harmony City. Due to that, my restaurant might be closed tomorrow." Lucian replied indifferently. "If I return before seven in the evening, I will open my restaurant. Otherwise, you will have to come back the next day."

Instantly, the atmosphere in the restaurant became depressing.

However, Lucian did not care about the depressing atmosphere and whatever complaints they had as he gently said to Lily, [Lily, start taking their orders.]

[Okay, leave it to Lily!]

Ignoring the country bumpkins, who were still shocked, Lily began taking everyone's orders, memorizing them in her head.

Sometime later, Lily stood in front of the table with the nobodies and asked, "What are you all ordering?"

"We'll have four cups of Berry Blast and four servings of Sweet Berry Cream Glazed Dough Balls." One of the nobodies ordered for them all. With their Mage Ranks in the Blood Tempering Realm, those were the only two menu items they could order. However, they were still excited because they could finally taste Lucian's food.

"Alright, your orders will be out soon. Please wait." Lily nodded as she memorized their orders, as well, then headed to the kitchen. Once she was inside, she reported the long order.

"Hmm, Garm ordered all of the dishes? As expected of someone his size!" Lucian was grinning after he listened to the enormous order.

He did not mind that he had to cook so many dishes by himself. He was a Mage, and as long as he had Mana in his body, he would not feel fatigued.

"And what about you, Lily? Do you want anything besides the Sous Vide Filet Mignon?"

Lily's beautiful face turned rosy in excitement, as she said, accompanied by the rumbling of her stomach, "Mn. Lily wants every item on the menu!"

"Every…item?" Lucian asked with a stiff smile as his eyes unconsciously trailed to her flat stomach, wondering if she would be having a baby earlier than scheduled…

Unaware of her Big Brother Lucian's thoughts, Lily excitedly nodded her head a few times. "Mn. Big Brother Lucian's dishes are the best! Lily wants to eat every dish, no matter how much Big Big Brother Lucian adds in the future!"

[At this rate, she will end up looking like Garm!] The System said then continued in a hurried tone, [Host, the System suggests quickly learning a Medical Cuisine dish that reduces body size.]

[Medical Cuisine? What's that?] This was the first time Lucian had of such a wondrous cuisine.

[Medical Cuisine is a branch of the Culinary Arts that utilizes specific Magical Herbs and ingredients to create dishes with health benefits. These dishes can aid in physical healing, internal healing, Soul healing, enhancing physical strength, increasing the size of man's… manhood, and even decreasing body size, et cetera. Anything a doctor or Alchemist can do, Medical Cuisine can do better.

The System has an almost infinite number of such dishes with several that could aid Lily.] The System seriously explained.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

[I'll look through the System Shop while we're traveling to Harmony City.] Lucian said after being slightly startled by the wondrous Medical Cuisine. Once again, he felt he was no longer in the Celeste Universe. He had many pieces of evidence that could back his theory.

"Big Brother Lucian, can Lily go play with Osiris now? Lily will be back soon to serve the dishes." Lily asked expectantly.

Lucian nodded without a change in his expression, "Of course. Also, you don't have to worry about serving. Go have fun with Osiris because we won't be back until possibly tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Otherwise, if you enter the Spatial Farm within the carriage, someone might become suspicious."

"Yay," Lily exclaimed with a blush as she hopped into the pink bed in the corner of the kitchen. Soon, her vision faded as she entered the Spatial Farm.

Osiris, who had been sleeping on the grass under the warm rays of the sun, suddenly opened his eyes as he sensed a faint fluctuation in the surrounding atmosphere.

A moment later, previously where there was nothing but empty air, the figure of a pink-haired girl appeared, causing Osiris' eyes to widen in excitement and happiness.

"L-Li…" Osiris tried to call out her name but gave up after a few moments. Instead, he rushed over and stopped a foot away.

"Lily missed you too, Osiris!" Lily giggled, materialized her beautiful transparent pink wings, and flew up to pat his head.

"Who's a good boy!? Did you have fun playing with Big Brother Lucian?"

Hearing this, Osiris' tail dropped. Yesterday, his Master did indeed come to check up on him, but let alone play with him, he had merely glanced at him for a second, then disappeared.

Noticing his depressed behavior, Lily furrowed her brows.

"What's wrong, Osiris? Did you not have fun with my Big Brother Lucian?"

Osiris looked up at Lily floating slightly above his eyes pitifully. He wanted to pour out his grievances, but how could he?

"Although my Big Brother Lucian looks indifferent most of the time, he is very kind and warm." Lily continued with a dreamy look, her mind completely dominated by her Big Brother Lucian.

"Grrr," Osiris growled in frustration at his ineptitude to speak in Arcadian.

[Titan Drunken Blood Monkey… no, it's Osiris now, huh? Anyway, if you want to communicate with Lily, I have the perfect method. Would you like to hear it?]

The mechanical voice Osiris had become used to hearing sounded in his mind, instantly, causing his expression to brighten and his tail to loudly beat against the ground behind him.

Taking that as his acceptance to listen to the System's advice, it explained, [It's quite simple, Lucian, your Master, does not care for you, then why continue to serve him?]
