LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
When the three of them returned to the village, it was already late at night.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Elent handed the kitten back to Grandpa Bagla, and the bakery owner was so moved he nearly cried, promising to deliver freshly baked pastries to the Church tomorrow.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Celia was very satisfied with this; the trip to the Black Forest had been worth it.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
As soon as they returned to the Church, Celia couldn’t wait to call Lynn over too, and the three of them gathered around the dining table. The hefty Recipe Book sat right at the center.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“It’s time to begin.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Celia took out a Glowing Mushroom and placed it on the cover of the Recipe Book.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
One second, two seconds, three seconds passed.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Nothing happened. The Recipe Book remained quiet, showing no reaction at all.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“That’s odd.” Elent also took out a Glowing Mushroom and placed it next to the first. Still, nothing.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Could it be that they aren’t ripe yet?” Elent recalled the size and brightness of the mushrooms and made a reasonable guess.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Not ripe?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Celia frowned. Did that mean she wouldn’t get to try a new dish tonight? She couldn’t accept that.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Celia thought of the half-bag of homemade Fertilizer left in the backyard corner.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
No, mushrooms are fungi, not plants, so Fertilizer definitely wouldn’t work on them.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
In that case, she could only try something else. Ripen them by force.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Elent, and Lynn.” Celia suddenly spoke.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“What is it?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Celia’s expression turned enigmatic.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Do you… believe in the Light?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Huh?” Elent was utterly confused, while Lynn wasn’t surprised at all.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Ever since a few days ago, Lady Celia often said things no one could understand.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Before they could react, a gentle surge of magical power arose from Celia.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
A ball of Saint Celery enveloped the dim Glowing Mushrooms on the table.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Good, first step complete. Now, how do you ripen mushrooms again?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Celia’s mind worked fast, searching through all the Recordings and Science Videos she’d watched in her previous life.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Temperature, humidity, nutrients…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Oh right, and carbon dioxide concentration. Saint Celery was pure life energy; in theory, she could simulate all of these.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Celia closed her eyes and began to control the Saint Celery.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
First, she slowly raised the internal temperature to simulate a warm environment.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Then, she broke down the elements in the air, converting them into nutrients mushrooms needed, and sent them in.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Finally, she fine-tuned the mixture of gases within the sphere of light.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
To Elent and Lynn, the scene looked unbelievably mysterious.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
All they could see was the ever-shifting light and shadow inside the Saint Celery, as if a miniature world was evolving within it.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Miss Celia simply stood there, focused, like a deity wielding Creation Power.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Elent was transfixed. He’d always thought Saint Celery was only used for healing and purification, but this sight completely overturned his understanding.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
So, Saint Celery could do this as well? The Priestess was truly unfathomable.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After a few minutes, the light slowly faded.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The Glowing Mushrooms on the table had changed dramatically. They were a whole size larger, radiating a gentle glow that cast a dreamy hue on the trio’s faces.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Priestess, how did you do that?!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Heh heh.” Celia withdrew her hand, a look of smug satisfaction on her face.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“This is the Scientific Method.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She had no intention of explaining the principle to Elent—he wouldn’t understand anyway.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Celia picked up a ripened Glowing Mushroom and placed it back onto the Recipe Book.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
This time, the Recipe Book reacted.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
On the blank page, lines of text quickly appeared.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
[Dream Star Mushroom Soup]
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
……
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The stove’s flames licked the clay pot as Elent followed the recipe. Soon, a rich and savory aroma burst out from under the lid.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The soup was milky white, with chopped Glowing Mushrooms floating like shattered stars. Even in the steam, they still glowed faintly, like stars in the night sky.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“It smells so good! Let me try it first.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Elent took the first sip.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
A warm current surged into his mind, and his fatigue from the late-night adventure faded away, leaving him perfectly alert.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He felt as though his senses had expanded a bit.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Delicious!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Really?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The two girls quickly ladled bowls for themselves, eager to taste.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Elent watched their actions and suddenly felt something wasn’t quite right. Besides the savory flavor, the soup also seemed to carry a hint of alcohol.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Elent’s expression changed, and he hurriedly reached out to stop them.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Wait, Priestess, don’t drink it!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But it was already too late.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Before he could finish speaking, Celia had taken a small sip and smacked her lips.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“It tastes a little sweet?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The next second, Celia’s world turned into a kaleidoscope.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The ceiling spun, the table danced. The tall and sturdy Elent across from her suddenly split into three, wobbling like dividing cells.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Eh, Hero, you can use Drunken Shadow Clone?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Oh no.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The Priestess was drunk.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“No, I don’t know Drunken Shadow Clone. You’re drunk.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Drunk?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“My tolerance is amazing, there’s no way I’m drunk.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Celia confidently added,
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Besides, this isn’t alcohol, how could I be drunk?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Amazing tolerance? Elent looked up and down at the little Priestess, cheeks flushed and eyes glassy—she certainly didn’t look the part.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Still stubborn.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“One more sip.” Celia said, raising her bowl again.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Wait!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Elent was a moment too late.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Celia took a big gulp of mushroom soup. A rush of heat blasted into her mind, burning away the last threads of her rationality.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Delicious, I want more…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Before she could finish, her legs gave out and she collapsed forward bonelessly.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But instead of pain, she landed in a warm, solid embrace.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Celia looked up, her usually lazy green eyes now glazed and misty.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Eh? Hero, why are you splitting apart again?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She poked Elent’s nose with a finger, flashing a silly, sweet smile.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
This version of the Priestess was rather cute.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Elent had that thought flash through his mind. If only she didn’t boss him around so much.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Celia began to snuggle against his chest, mumbling incoherently.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Elent felt his self-control being pushed to the limit.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
As a Hero, he’d faced fearsome monsters and herds of beasts, and would not even flinch at the prospect of slaying an evil dragon.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But right now, the defenseless girl in his arms tested his will more than any monster.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“You’re drunk. You need to rest now!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“I’m not drunk! I can finish a whole bottle of Erguotou like a real man!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
A real man?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Elent paused, then his face showed sudden understanding.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
So that’s it. The Priestess may appear delicate, but deep down she yearned to be like a bold warrior who could drink strong liquor?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Such iron will, trapped in such a petite body.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Looking at the girl melting in his arms, Elent’s respect for her only grew.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Yes, yes, you’re a real man. But right now, this real man needs to sleep.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Miss Lynn? Are you all right?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Elent turned his head and finally noticed Lynn had collapsed onto the table, completely passed out—more thoroughly drunk than Celia.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Looks like it’s all up to me.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Elent sighed, then had no choice but to pick Celia up and carry her to her room. He gently laid her on the bed and pulled the blanket over her.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Just as he was about to leave, Celia groped around and suddenly clung tightly to his arm.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“That’s strange, when did my FUFU get so hard?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
FUFU? What was that? Elent didn’t know—all he knew was that his arm was tightly held.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Warm breaths brushed against his skin, carrying a faint sweetness.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“I’m not FUFU, let go of me!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Wow, FUFU can talk!” Instead of letting go, Celia hugged him even tighter.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Elent tried to break free, but to no avail.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
There was no choice—he had to use the ultimate move.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Your FUFU has to go to work.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He wasn’t sure why the Priestess hated working so much, but the result was immediate.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Celia let go of his arm in an instant.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Eh, FUFU has to work too? So sad.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Go on, then.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
With that, Celia rolled over, hugged her pillow, and went right back to sleep.
