Chapter 856 Drake Is Finally Recognized For His Culinary Talent
-----
Spirit Kitchen Party was the ultimate Cooking Spirit I've made that wasn't a Divine Spirit. It was a Spirit composed of many other Spirits, but I had managed a way to unify them all into a single entity despite possessing many spiritual bodies working and moving at the same time, with each having a different mind to them. All sorts of Kitchen Utensils emerged, such as pans, plates, pots, large knives, and spoons, and even a giant modern-looking kitchen with spiritual flames flaring it up.
When Eustace looked at what I brought out, he couldn't help but drop out of his seat in shock, quickly getting up from the floor and admiring what I had done. For anybody that didn't knew about spirits, they would easily get shocked that I could merely summon a whole kitchen that was made out of them. No, I think that even Spirit Users such as Pekora would react similarly.
"T-This is… What is this?!" He asked after regaining some of his composure. Orcus suddenly walked towards the kitchen, as the floating spirits greeted him, they all have tiny faces that made them look rather adorable.
"Spirits. They're Cooking Spirits I've made a pact with. When they all come together, they're called a Spirit Kitchen Party." I said, without revealing much about my truest capabilities. And the origin of the spirits being Spirit Creation.
"A-Amazing, in all my years I never thought there would be spirits of cooking! Where in the world did you find them?!" Asked Eustace.
"I found them in a mysterious dungeon far away from here. The Dungeons seemed to belong to a God that was passionate about cooking, he put me into a competition of cooking before even giving them to me, it was really a pain." I sighed. "Inheritances are very rare, aren't they?"
I used my status as a Rank 6 to give him an impressive anecdote. It wasn't going to be hard to believe it due to my own strength after all. Rank 6 were the pinnacle of mortals, those right below gods, we have the power to travel anywhere and are highly regarded wherever we go.
"Incredible… I wish I could had found such a treasure myself!" Cried Eustace. "These spirits are so lovable and emanate such a strong spiritual essence… Y-You're going to cook with them?!"
"Of course, that's the point of summoning here." I said with a smile. "Now, let me make you a dish that my family loves."
"Ooooh?!"
I quickly put my hands inside of my Inventory, and began taking out several ingredients. Vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, onion, garlic, and even fruit such as apple. I also took a big piece of Frost Wyvern meat that Tisha had hunted the other day when she went on a hunting session with a few of my allies in a snowy mountain. I also brought out tons of spices, and summoned Spirits that we were going to add into the food as well.
"Spirit Salt, Spirit Garlic Powder, Spirit Curry!"
POOF! POOF! POOF!
"T-This is… W-What… You're using spirits as ingredients?!" Eustace cried in horror and amusement.
"Yes, these are Seasoning Spirits, their seasoning is top notch, you'll fall in love with it!" I laughed.
"Uuoooohhhhh!"
Eustace watched as I prepared curry and boiled some white rice. Cutting the ingredients, cooking them and boiling them until I served the delicious red-brown-colored curry with a side of fluffy white rice. It looked simply yet enchanting. Eustace mouth was watering.
"Ooooohhh! I have never seen such a dish before!" Eustace said. "And it is shining so brightly with so much magical and spiritual essence… This is cooking like I had never truly seen before.. S-Sir Drake, just… who are you?!"
"I am merely a passionate chef, now go on!" I laughed, as I sat down at the side of Eustace by generating a table made of frozen ice crystal. I also served him some good wine I bought from Orange Forest, which was quite expensive.
Eustace began to eat rapidly with a spoon I gave to him, the delicious taste quickly made his eyes open wide in shock. He began eating more and more of the dish without stopping.
"Uuuuooohhhh! T-This is…! T-THIS IS…! The sweetness! The spiciness… the meat is so soft and tasty, the potatoes and carrots so fresh! The delicious sauce and the amazing yet plain fluffy rice goes so well with the explosion of flavors, making it more bearable… I-I can't stop stuffing my mouth with this stuff! The spices are godly! You're a god! A god of cooking, Sir Drake! P-Please, can I have more?!" Eustace suddenly called me a god of cooking out of nowhere and asked me for more curry rice with a crazed look on his eyes. He was going bananas for it.
"Of course! Eat up! One of my greatest pleasures in life is to make people that eat my food happy." I said with a smile, feeding him more as I ate curry as well. It was quite good.
After thirty minutes of just eating, Eustace ended stuffed with curry, resting over his chair while drinking some fresh water with ice cubes I gave to him. He slowly regained his senses, as he cleansed his mouth with a handkerchief.
"Y-You pass!" He said without any other word. "T-That was amazing… I had never tasted such a flavorful dish before; it was an explosion of flavors that even now lingers in my mouth…"
"Haha, I think you're praising me a bit too much, I have a lot that I have yet to learn about cooking. I hope the Guild can help me find new ingredients as much as I will share my recipes and products." I said with a smile.
"O-Of course, Sir Drake! Your dish and cooking was so impressive I will give you the VIP Chef Guild License right away! A-And you don't have to pay me anything either, this delicious dish was already worth its weight in gold!"
