Lira whispered quietly.
"Arthur, you may not know about this, but the dish you have just taken a bite of just now is a rank 2 dish. If you were awakened, you would have been able to sense the lingering mana in this simple-looking pudding if you tried a few times."
"Just as you have said, this dish is meant for you to recover fast. It would increase your recovery rate by about 40% for 6 hours after you eat it."
She didn’t try to explain anything about its cost or how rare this dish is for even normal elves, because she didn’t think he would be able to get it like the last. Her bragging had already failed once; she didn’t want to fail twice.
While she usually didn’t brag about her status, she at least thought he would think highly of her after knowing this, but he had no knowledge of the outside world.
She knew there was a small library inside the mining site. It wasn’t in plain sight, but if you were here, you would surely know of it. If he had read those books, he would at least have basic knowledge of the outside world.
’Well, at the end of the day, he is a slave, bound by his freedom, even with how nice the living conditions here are and how well they are being treated compared to female slaves.’
She could easily free him if she wanted. She wouldn’t even need money, as those are worth pennies to her; her status is enough to make him completely free, not bound by another person, like how they normally get bound using money if they consent to it.
’But from everything I have seen for these past months, he has no desire to go to the outside world.’
And his knowledge is a perfect example of that.
She is a person who loves to go on adventures and discover new dishes around the world and improve, and one day hopes to beat her master’s cooking.
’That old hag—I would surely teach her a lesson one day.’
’It’s a pity. He really is handsome, but we aren’t a match.’
’If he does confess to her one day, she would have to reject him no matter how hard it is.’
A sigh escaped her mouth after her thoughts ended.
Arthur had completely focused on her because this dish would be very helpful in making him become stronger, much faster.
’Fuck, I can’t detect anything in the pudding. Is that what she means by trash talent?’
’I should focus on her for now.’
While he didn’t understand most of the things she had mentioned earlier, one thing he had realized was that this weird cook is not just a nobody and definitely not an average person.
Fira just out of nowhere mentioned it, not thinking Arthur would have any interest in it, but one of the main reasons she mentioned it was because she wanted him to know how special she is. Not everyone could become a member of The Gourmet Guild. Even the lowest members are treated like VIPs in the outside world because of how rare they are.
"If you wanted to know more about the outside world, you should pay a visit to the library here."
’I haven’t checked it myself, but it should have at least basic knowledge at the very least.’
Arthur, hearing her words, froze up for a second.
’Library!’
Never in his life had he imagined he would feel so delighted to hear about something like a library, but the circumstances say otherwise.
’How the fuck did I not even know that there is a library here?’
He felt a bit annoyed at that, as he really needed more information about the world.
He made the conclusion it must be because of his messed-up memory that he had completely forgotten about the library being here in the first place. freewёbnoνel.com
Arthur didn’t try to act too surprised and asked with a calm expression on his face.
"Could you tell me where it is? I can’t seem to remember it well."
Fira didn’t find anything suspicious in his words other than the fact that he acted at first as if he had heard about the library for the first time.
Other than that, the library’s location is a bit off, so she could understand him forgetting it.
"Hmm, it’s a bit secluded. It’s located in the garden outside, but you have to walk at least 1 km to reach it. It’s near the warden’s personal quarters."
"If you just walk straight north, you would be able to find it easily."
Arthur thanked her properly for telling him the location.
No matter how weird she is sometimes, she really is a blessing for him by telling him about the library.
Now, after knowing everything he wanted, he once again focused on the pudding on the table. It disappeared quickly off the plate due to how tasty it was and, more importantly, his body felt much more relaxed after eating it.
He felt the soreness in his body slowly getting less and less. The six hours for how long the effect would last—Arthur is sure he would be in a much, much better condition.
He knew how much he needed her magical cooking, so he didn’t hide it from her and told her how he had started to exercise to make his body stronger, so he felt quite sore all over his body today, and her pudding was really a lifesaver for him.
"I would really appreciate it if you would make a dish like this for me regularly."
He knew it was a bit shameful of him to ask her that, but he had no other choice if he wanted to have a significant improvement quickly.
He did mention one time that the 6-hour effect wouldn’t be enough for him to completely recover.
For a proud cook like Fira, hearing him say that her dish couldn’t be enough to even heal his soreness, she felt challenged. Her master had not allowed her to bring any high-grade ingredients with her.
So she had to make do with the rank one ingredients present here, which are meant for cooking for elves.
