âMaster, I want to,â Woli who was beside me said pleadingly.
âThis is for you,â I chuckled looking at her who couldnât wait anymore.
âDina, how about you, do you want?â
When I called her, Dina immediately came out of my clothes. She also looks curious about this food, she is currently sitting on my lap. As for Yua, she just sat on my shoulder without saying much.
âHere, eat it, Iâm sure youâll like it.â
I feed Dina, who is on my lap. When she ate it, her eyes immediately lit up, she seemed pleased with the taste of my cooking.
âThis is delicious Lute,â
[+1000 Love Points]
âIâm glad you like it,â I smiled.
Leila saw this from her seat, her hand on her chin, her eyes twinkling and looking at me with a smile. Suddenly she said something that made me gasp.
âLute you look like youâre taking care of your kids, maybe youâll make a good father,â Leila looked at me with a bright smile.
âHahaha, somehow after you said it, I feel what you said is true,â I laughed.
Looking at the current atmosphere, well one could say, this was the peaceful atmosphere that everyone wanted. I also feel warm in my heart, This reminds me of my times in the village with Bellaâs mom, the orphanage children, Silvie and Celyne who were in the city. I miss them now.
âWhatâs wrong Lute? You look sad?â Leila asked when she saw my expression.
âNo-nothing, Iâm just thinking about my hometown, somehow current atmosphere reminds me of them,â
âOh thatâs right, I donât know where are you from, can you tell me, Lute,â Leila asked curiously.
âI used to live in Sailos City, to be more precise in an orphanage in a village close to Sailos City,â I said while remembering those times.
âWow, so you live there, meaning itâs not far from Mervbanis Academy, are you planning on entering the Academy too?â
âThatâs right, I was planning to enter the Academy,â
âHehehe, that means Iâll be your senior, if thereâs anything you want to ask, just ask me and the others,â Leila smirked at me.
âIâll remember that,â I laughed.
âHmn.. this is delicious, I didnât expect your cooking to be this delicious, even beyond mine,â Leila put food in her mouth happily.
We all ate happily, only Karyn cried while eating my food. She looks too cute for her age because she eats while crying. I also fed Dina and got some Love Points from her.
After dinner, we changed shifts with others. Iâve prepared food for Shelly and Nylah, they are very grateful to me, this way they wonât waste time.

Inside the Forest, a group of people, probably around 30 people, wearing white robes with a crest like a sleeping dragon skeleton on their backs, were lined up neatly.
There was also a strangely shaped monster, it was about seven meters tall, with its entire head covered in fur, without eyes. The monster had a tongue shaped like a mouth, the monsterâs fangs were sharp even on the tongue. The monsterâs hand had claws as sharp as a knife. The monsterâs body was like a wolf with a tail like a scorpion.
There was not just one monster, but there were three of them, it seemed that this group of people mustered quite a lot of troops to carry out a battle.
One man was in front of all these groups, he was the leader of this group. The man had black hair and a well-trained body, with a sword at his waist. His eyes looked very sharp, his face also looked unpleasant.
âSir, do we need to deploy a lot of troops to just attack a village?â
Someone in the group asked, group leaderâs eyes narrowed when he heard this, but he explained after that.
âThis is very necessary if we want to attack the village. A spy we have stationed there gives us information, in a village there is a party group sent by the Mervbanis Academy, to deal with kidnappings that we have been carrying out. This party group has a B rank, which is quite troublesome if not handled properly, we also have to finish this quickly, before help from the city arrives.â
âDo you all understand now?â The leaderâs gaze became sharp.
âYes sir,â
âSoon we will start attacking, we have also been informed that the villagers have evacuated themselves to underground storage, which is near village headâs house. We just need to attack there without needing to search all over the village painstakingly,â
âHmph, ââdo they think they can stop us by evacuating ourselves to the storage room, What a fool. All of you, prepare to take positions, we are about to attack the village, NOW!!â The group leader shouted.
In an instant, everyone in the lineup, scattered around the village took up positions, while the group leader looked up at the dark night sky.
âMelusine Project is finished, in a moment, just a few extras, we will attack those who threaten us and make them pay for hunting us. I will also make them understand how sorry they are for not supporting and rejecting what we are doing,â
The manâs eyes shone with anger, he recalled when he was humiliated in front of the nobles, they even stole his idea, he would make them regret making him suffer.

âPoV Nylahâ
After finishing dinner, I returned to guard around the village. The food I ate earlier tasted good, I didnât know that man could actually cook and the food tasted good. But it has nothing to do with me, so I donât really care.
While I was walking around the village, I suddenly felt a strong wind coming from behind and heading towards me. I dodged it by jumping, but suddenly a fireball attacked me in midair, spinning in the air, I took two short swords at my waist and instantly cut the fireball until it disappeared in thin air.
âWho!?â
I narrowed my eyes looking around, 10 people in white robes approached, there were also strange monsters following them.
âHohoho, good reaction,â One of the people from the group spoke, as if surprised.
âLooks like they are a group of people who kidnapped people in the village, I have to contact the others,â
Taking Seezingcal, Iâll tell others, but I heard theyâre going through the same thing.
âNylah, Iâm here to help,â
Leila who was not far from me came here, because we were guarding same place, she came on time. Several villagers who were on guard also came here.
âI donât like to linger, letâs just start the battle,â
âROAAARRRRRâ
The group started to attack, and the roar of the monster made our ears ring. The few villagers who were just ordinary people instantly fainted on the spot with their mouths filled with foam. While those who can survive hold their aching heads. I also felt a slight pain in my head after hearing the monsterâs roar.
