Chapter 36: Fira the weird and mysterious cook?

From just the way the pudding looked on the plate and how pleasing to the eye it was, he knew it would be good. While he didn’t have a sweet tooth before, he did enjoy eating something sweet from time to time.

And pudding is one of the things he likes.

"Can I?" Arthur asked if he could try it.

Seeing her nod, he didn’t wait and picked up his spoon, scooped up a spoonful of soft pudding, and took a bite.

In his mouth, it melted like it wasn’t even there before. It was so smooth and creamy, a perfect balance of sweetness and flavor—it was just delightful.

’It’s so good.’

But only after taking a bite, Arthur’s body suddenly felt much more relaxed now, and even the pain he had been feeling all this while started to become a little less than before, which confused him a little as it was just simple but very delicious pudding.

From the time Arthur first came to look at the red transparent screen, he felt a bit underwhelmed, because usually, when some protagonist in a web novel gets a system or a golden finger, they would be able to see the information about different things and even people.

While he doesn’t know about others, whenever he reads stories like these, he finds that the function of gaining knowledge about anything just by looking at it is very overpowered.

’Whatever talent they may have, this alone feels a bit godly—entering the realm of omnipresence. I know I am exaggerating a bit, but I really do like that power.’

He felt quite disappointed when he wasn’t able to see the information about anything other than his own.

’It would have been such a blessing if I had that, especially in a situation like this.’

He could tell after taking a bite of the simple-looking pudding in front of him that it was not just a simple pudding, and the person who had made it was not a simple person either.

’I feel like I am recovering much faster.’

"Fira, it tasted very amazing, but what’s this? I feel much more relaxed after only taking a bite of the pudding you gave me. It feels as if I am recovering much faster after the work."

Fira felt quite shocked by how he had suddenly used her first name out of nowhere.

’How does he know? I didn’t even tell him before.’

She would love to tell him he didn’t ask.

’How does he know my name?’

’Did he really approach me knowing about me?’

’He does like me!’

She had a lost look on her face as she was too deep in thought. While she did find him attractive and all, she wasn’t sure if she was in love with him. It is a very big thing for elves, so she is very careful with stuff like that.

She can’t make those decisions out of the blue, however, even if she didn’t develop feelings for him, and knowing he had a crush does make her heart feel soft.

Spending time with him does feel nice too, but she isn’t ready to make that decision, especially when she is not sure about her own feelings.

Arthur had seen the lost look on her face, and even after hearing his question, she was still lost in her own thoughts.

’She is a bit weird.’

He tapped on her shoulder to snap her out of her thoughts.

Fira suddenly felt something on her left shoulder.

Shriek!

She shrieked loudly out of nowhere, which even scared Arthur a lot.

Arthur thought in his mind,

’Holy hell! That scared me.’

He backed up a step due to her loud shriek.

Fira suddenly had a flashback of a time she didn’t want to remember, but that was not for now. She looked at poor Arthur, who had taken a step back from her due to her sudden behavior.

’Argh! I am so stupid.

’I want to run somewhere far and hide there forever.’

She quickly tried to correct her mistake.

"Arthur, I’m sorry for that. I was just... um, I’m really sorry for that."

She didn’t tell him the reason behind her scream. It felt as if she did, her already-ruined image would be even more ruined, so she kept quiet about the reason and asked for his forgiveness.

’Argh! He must be thinking I’m an idiot or something,’ she thought. She couldn’t think of anything to make her shattered image whole again.

Arthur, hearing her apology, accepted it quickly and didn’t prolong the conversation because he felt she didn’t want to talk about it.

He didn’t know her reasons, but she had certainly made an image of being a little weird in his mind.

’She sometimes blushes for no reason, freezes up, and becomes lost in her thoughts so much so that... and especially screams out of nowhere when I only tapped on her shoulder.’

While he did find her weird, he was also a bit curious about her, especially the magical effect her cooking had on him just now.

"Fira, about the pudding," Arthur mentioned it once again.

Fira recalled his previous question and thought for a second if she should tell him or not, and she quickly came to a conclusion.

’Master didn’t say anything about hiding my identity, so it should be fine if I tell just Arthur.’

She knew other than the warden, no one knew her actual identity, and it would be better to keep it that way—but telling just Arthur wouldn’t be a problem, would it?

So now, she started to whisper to him in a light voice and started telling him about how her master sent her here to practice and that she is actually a member of The Gourmet Guild. She even boasted a little that she had a pretty high status in the guild due to her master, and she only had one month left here out of the three months.

But seeing the clueless look on his face, she knew he knew nothing about The Gourmet Guild at all, and her boasting was all for nothing. So she quickly told him the main point about why the simple pudding helped him recover faster.
