Free Web NovelChapter 25: 25: Strange Meat
Panic filled the room as Ash got up to his feet. Ayra stared in shock, wondering what had just happened. Why did someone collapse from her meal?! Was it that bad?!
"I said it! This vicious female’s cooking can’t be trusted!" The rabbit snapped.
The other beastmen gathered around Ayra with their swords, ready to strike. Ash glared at her, his eyes still calm and jolly but with a hint of hostility, she could tell.
"What did you do to him?" Ash questioned. "Speak or lose your head here."
Ayra had no words. She didn’t do anything and didn’t understand what was happening. So she didn’t even know what to say. But before she could cook up something, one of the cooks snapped.
"Why is he smiling?!"
Everyone turned to the beastman laying on the floor. He wasn’t unconscious. The beastman was staring up at the ceiling and smiling like a fool.
They were speechless. "Why is he...?"
The beastman kept smiling. He was seeing things. Seeing endless colors. The beastman was in a world of illusions, running across a beautiful garden of flowers with different flavors of meat following him and running with him. He was in heaven!
Ash bent down and slapped him by the cheeks as he immediately got up to his feet. "I’m sorry, lord..."
Ash stared at him. "What was that...?"
"My lord... the meat..." He shuddered as they stared at him, curious to know what he was going to say. "That meat is magical! It feels so good on the tongue! It takes you on another dimension! It’s... It’s magic!"

Shocked, they stared at each other, at the meal and then at the meat. But Ayra smiled. She knew her cooking skills weren’t that bad even though she wasn’t the best.
"You’re lying... it can’t be that good to take you to another dimension!" The rabbit rebelled.
But Ash had already gotten curious. He went and sat down while taking the meat in his hands.
"No, don’t fall for her tricks.." the rabbit tried to say but Ash put it in his mouth and slowly munched on it.
Silence. All eyes on Ash as he slowly ate the meat. Everyone stared curiously to know what he was going to say.
Ash ate. Seconds went by, his expression was still the same. A minute, still the same. Ayra could feel sweat running down her forehead, she didn’t want to die now. But then, it hit him.
Ash’s eyes went wide open, his mouth dropped as he gasped. He could feel it, he could see it. He was floating in the sky with clouds made of meats. The sky was filled with its aroma and he was floating on thousand ingredients that lingered and melted in his mouth.
"This..." He gasped as he blinked hard. "What’s this...?" He stared at Ayra.
Ayra smiled. "My specialty."
Ash blinked as he stared down at the meat. "This... Is..."
Everyone stared.
"... Is different..." fгeewebnovёl.com
"..."
Ayra smiled as she watched him take another bite. Before long, he was on his third piece of meat. Licking his fingers and every bit of his hands as he devoured the meat before him. The beastmen around him stared, their mouths watering from the sight of him eating.
The cooks were surprised. "How’s this possible? The female can’t prepare anything, how can it be that good?"
They asked as they made their way to the other meat. They gathered and took a bite and immediately, they all teleported into their own fantasies. Floating in the rich delicacy that invaded their mouths.
"This is..."
"How’s it possible....?"
"This is the best I’ve tasted in my life..."
"How can meat taste this good?"
"I.. I can’t believe..."
The chief cook glared at them. "You traitors. How can you even taste that female’s meal?!" He scoffed, folding his arms. "I doubt it’s even that good."
"You should take a bite.. this is..." One of them brought him a portion.
The rabbit was skeptical as he rolled his eyes. "I doubt it’s bad.. I’m a professional and I can taste bad meat when I see one..." He casually took it and threw it into his mouth. "It’s not even that..."
He paused. Tapping his tongue, licking his lower lips, searching his mouth for remaining flavors with his tongue. The rabbit was speechless but struggled to hide that expression.
He cleared his throat as he turned to one of the cooks. "It’s not that good... bring another, let me see how bad it gets..."
He took another and then another. His mouth devouring every one he took while he struggled to keep a neutral expression. But each bite he took broke his facade.
Ayra smiled as she stared at Ash who had already emptied the plate. He was staring at the plate in amusement.
Ash was speechless. He had just had one of the strangest meats he had ever had in his life and he didn’t even know what to say. He simply stared while wondering how it was possible that the female was behind it?!
Wasn’t the F-rank female famous for being bad at everything?! How could she, not only heal and soothe S-rank male beasts, get pregnant, and now even prepare delicious meats?! He was beyond speechless.

Ayra scoffed with a smile. She guessed the stomach was really a way to a man’s heart after all.
"Would you like some more? There’s more available," she said with a smile. She figured she also had to put this big guy to sleep somehow, and the best way to do that would be to get him drunk.
Who wouldn’t want some drink while enjoying good food? Ayra smiled as she said, "And maybe I could also bring some good wine for you to couple it with the food?"
Ash paused as he stared up at her. His eyes studied her for a while before he smiled and said, "Okay. Sure."
