Chapter 95: 94. Leisurely Breakfast Time
"magic mirror, oh magic mirror, there's a Demoness in Witch Academyso beautiful she outshines all others, her astounding talent shames scholars, and her uncrowned power makes even the strongest submit. Who is that Demoness?"
"Hmm, that's right, of course it's me, Dorothy."
The next morning, on the top floor of the Shining Tower, the Little Witch, who had just woken up, was, as usual, performing her daily ritual in front of the magic mirror.
Reflected in the dressing magic mirror before her was a beautiful woman with a sickly complexion, her delicate frown so fragile it melted one's heart.
However, the next second, this beauty raised an eyebrow, a look of smugness on her face.
"Ah, truly worthy of me. This pitiable little appearance makes even me, myself, fall in love. That Lin Daiyu would be so angry she'd uproot a weeping willow if she saw me."
The two beauties, one in front of the magic mirror and one within it, gave each other a thumbs-up, seemingly having reached a consensus.
However, after a brief moment of excitement, Dorothy once again fell into a state of listlessness.
This wasn't due to illness; with a Demoness's physique, unless cursed, there wouldn't be any abnormalities like colds or fevers. Not to mention, she was also a Dragon Witch. With a Dragon's magic resistance, she could directly ignore most curses.
Her sickly appearance was simply a side effect of excessive mana consumption, but it wasn't serious. Usually, once her mana recovered and she rested for another day or two, she would be back to her old self again.
Well, that was pretty much the idea.
Dorothy was too lazy to use her still-groggy brain. She forced herself to muster some energy, cast a change-and-wash spell on herself, and then, like a salted fish, enjoyed the spell's ministrations.
Once everything was ready, she reluctantly stood up, but was too lazy to walk. So, with a flap, she spread her Dragon Wings, using their inherent conceptual flight ability to float like a ghost towards the living room.
"Ah, my wings."
As she passed through the doorway, her Dragon Wings, which spread out to a length of four or five meters, smacked against the doorframe. And it was the part of the wing closer to the root that hit, a feeling akin to stubbing one's little toe while walking. The pain made Dorothyinstantly retract her wings, then she fell to the ground, rolling and wailing.
"Damn, what kind of shoddy construction is this? These are Dragon Wings, Dragon Wings! Normally, shouldn't the doorframe be the one to break?"
Dorothy complained indignantly.
However...
"My lady, please consider that this is the Shining Tower, a wonder-class building, before you start tearing the house down. This doorframe isn't expensive; the money you earned yesterday should barely be enough to compensate for it."
Sophia's exquisite and sacred face appeared in Dorothy's line of sight, who was still lying on the ground. The Angel Witch looked helplessly at her young lady, who was already acting crazy so early in the morning, then said,
"It's time to eat. Since a certain someone who was supposed to cook has been playing dead, we'll just have to make do today."
"Oh, coming, coming."
Upon hearing that it was time to eat, Dorothy immediately felt no pain at all. The Dragon Witch's powerful self-healing ability suddenly activated, and she immediately sprang up, full of vigor, then scurried to the dining table, neatly tucking a napkin into her collar, and picked up her knife and fork.
"What are we eating today?"
Severely lacking in mana, she felt as though she could swallow an entire Wyvern whole. Her body craved high-grade ingredients rich in mana.
"Mighty Bull Dragon Milk, and pan-fried Oviraptor Eggs."
In the kitchen, Sophia used Magician's Hand to carry two plates. The plates held two simple and unpretentious breakfasts.
"That's it…"
Dorothy's face visibly crumpled. The vibrant energy she had just moments ago was replaced by a sickly, pitiable expression.
"That's all, My Lady. When your mana is depleted, it's crucial to avoid overeating. While such a crude method of mana recovery feels good, it's harmful to a Demoness's body. Please remember this. If you're truly hungry, you can drink a few more cups of Dragon Milk. Dragon Milk also contains a good amount of mana, and it's much gentler and easier to absorb than the mana in meat."
The Angel Witch slammed a large bucket of fresh Dragon Milk onto the table.
Dorothy: "..."
Alright, fine.
She reluctantly raised her milk cup and drank it all in one gulp.
She actually wasn't very fond of dairy products. In her previous life, she didn't really like drinking milk or anything like that, so now, as she drank, she made a bitter face like a child.
She thought that it was time to update the "Witch's Magical Kitchen Series" recipe book soon. This time, she definitely had to add mana-replenishing recipes. The problem of mana in high-grade ingredients being too crude, as Sophia had just mentioned, could be completely compensated for through cooking skills.
Hmph, this Angel is just weak. If she can't properly process the mana in ingredients due to her terrible cooking skills, she should just say so, instead of beating around the bush so much.
But...
"Oh, this is actually quite tasty."
Just a sip, and Dorothy's eyes suddenly lit up. She found that this so-called Mighty Bull Dragon milk was unexpectedly delicious. Not only did it have no milky smell, but it was surprisingly sweet, with a hint of floral freshness mixed with the milky aroma, very refreshing.
And the milk was indeed full of mana. This gentle mana, easily absorbed even by younglings, began to nourish Dorothy's body, giving her a feeling of comfort like long-awaited rain after a drought.
Then, let's try this so-called Oviraptor egg. By the way, is this egg an Oviraptor's own egg, or is it an egg they stole?
Who cares, I'll eat it.
With another bite, Dorothy's eyes comfortably narrowed.
Wow, what kind of divine texture is this? It's a fried egg, but it tastes like a bouncy, smooth jelly, and similarly, there's no eggy smell, but rather a rich meaty aroma.
Wonderful, wonderful! I apologize, Sophia, for underestimating you just now. It turns out your cooking can be amazing too.
The hungry Demoness ate and drank heartily.
Across from Dorothy, Sophia felt a little guilty.
Well, actually, after getting used to the young lady's cooking these past two days, she could no longer eat the dishes made with her own half-baked cooking skills. The reason today's breakfast was so simple was simply because only these two ingredients in the house didn't require complicated preparation; they were already delicious enough on their own.
Both the Mighty Bull Dragon and the Oviraptor came from a gourmet world, a peculiar Wyvern. That gourmet world was also a world that the King of Witches had once conquered. The entire world, when viewed from the outside, looked like a delicious cake, and in fact, it was. The entire world was edible; every plant, every tree, even the dirt on the ground, was an excellent ingredient.
Then...
Then this world was bitten by the capricious Dragon King.
When that world was discovered, it happened to be during the Dragon King's reign. And that gourmet world was unexpectedly powerful; several Apex Witches were in a stalemate for a long time and couldn't take it down successfully. Finally, it alarmed the Dragon King, and then the King of Witches personally led the expedition.
When the Dragon King saw that world, her eyes immediately lit up. She immediately expressed her desire to take a bite, and the several Apex Witches serving the Dragon King quickly began to protest vehemently. If this world-destroying Dragon, whose body was larger than a world, truly took a bite, this entire gourmet world would be gone, and then everyone's previous efforts would have been in vain.
But in the end, the capricious Dragon King still took a bite. Fortunately, she probably wasn't really hungry that day, so this gourmet world barely escaped from the dragon's maw, truly only a small bite was taken. There was just a cute gap on the edge of the cake world, and the teeth marks were clearly visible.
And with that bite, the resistors in that cake world who were almost eaten along with it and nearly died in the dragon's mouth were also scared. They no longer dared to resist, and all expressed their willingness to be the Demonesses' dogs, offering the best delicacies to the Demonesses.
Because it was conquered by the Dragon King, the ownership of this gourmet world also belongs to the Dragon Kingdom. However, in order not to exhaust the resources, the gourmet food produced by this world each year is limited and simply cannot meet the demand. Thanks to her teacher, who as a newly promoted prince, has great power, she still has a considerable quota each year.
The food produced in this world was also her teacher's favorite in the past. Even Sophia, her most beloved disciple, could only occasionally snatch food from the dragon's mouth, but now...
Upon thinking of the spatial folding refrigerator at home, which was almost full of provisions, Sophia suddenly felt that the milk she was drinking no longer tasted good.
What kind of rotten milk is this? Why is it sour? It must be expired.
Angel Witch turning into a lemon.
Don't scold me, I know this chapter has no plot, but after a big battle, it's time to relax. A leisurely daily life is also a beautiful thing. Also, this counts for tomorrow. Tomorrow is the day to write fairy tales, and I'm afraid my productivity won't be enough to jeopardize my perfect attendance. I'll stay up late to code tonight, and there should be another chapter tomorrow during the day.
