"Supreme Commander! I've returned!!"

On this bright morning, I got a surprise from Aiko.

Her body, which had recovered from regeneration after being cut to pieces by my cursed Odachi, had shown extraordinary recovery speed.

Whether my eyes were tired or having problems, I saw Aiko's magic core was much larger than before. It made her magic aura look much denser and slowly overflowed from her body.

Besides Aiko who looked different. I also saw Momo, Sirius, and Zoe pouring out their great magic energy.

"What happened?" I asked in a vague tone.

I don't know what happened but I could feel the overflow of their magic energy felt bigger and more thick than usual.

The main source of that... maybe lies in Zoe who with a happy expression walked towards me in human form by giving me the underwear I wore the night before.

"Master, this is the best food I've ever tasted. May I eat this delicious food again with my other spirit sisters?" Zoe said while giving me my underwear that looked like it was drying up like a flower in summer.

My underwear which was drying up like it was being squeezed by magical energy seemed to have been sucked out by Zoe until nothing was left. What she gave me were the remains of underwear that were no longer fit to wear and had to be immediately thrown away by burning it until nothing was left.

"Mio, I leave the removal of traces of my underwear to you," I said while giving her my underwear that had dried up like a wilted flower in summer.

"O-Okay, I'll burn it under the blazing fire that I'll make to cook breakfast," Mio accepted my underwear and put it away in the pocket of her casual clothes.

With the relaxed atmosphere this morning, I looked at the corpses of the sharp-horned boars that were still surrounding us.

"Are we going to have breakfast with a view like this?" I asked Mio while observing some small activities of the noble girls who seemed not to care about what was happening around them.

They started washing their faces and cleaning their mouths with the sight of the corpses of the sharp-horned boars that they had defeated at night.

The smell of their slowly rotting flesh had given off a distinctive aroma that made me feel uncomfortable cooking breakfast in a place like this.

But it seemed like it was a normal sight for the noble girls and Evelyn who were casually enjoying their morning activities as if there was nothing wrong.

"Looks like we're going to start our morning activities by making breakfast in the middle of these sharp-horned boar corpses, huh?" I grumbled a little, looking surprised by the sight I was currently seeing.

Unlike the noble girls who seemed normal with a disgusting sight like this, I almost felt uncomfortable and wanted to leave immediately, but that was stopped by Aiko and Sirius' attitude who seemed to want to eat the breakfast that was already in front of their eyes.

I saw the direction of their gazes that were directed at the almost rotten sharp-horned boar. By using the abilities of the stealth slime herd, it would at least get rid of the unpleasant smell produced by the slowly rotting meat.

"Do you want to eat them?" I asked Aiko and Sirius.

Nod...

Nod...

I didn't hear a clear answer but I could see them nodding their heads rapidly.

"I can give you the sharp-horned boar as long as you distribute a fair share of the food to all the stealth slimes on duty around me at the moment," I said giving an order aimed at cleaning up the disgusting sight of the rotting sharp-horned boar meat.

"Leave it to me, Supreme Commander!" shouted Aiko who seemed happy to see me again.

"I-I'll help collect all the remaining sharp-horned boars," replied Sirius who seemed to want to help Aiko.

When I saw Sirius' slightly awkward attitude with Aiko, I felt like I was seeing a leader and a sub-leader trying to understand each other.

"Hmmm..." I pondered for a moment on this.

The leadership used by Sirius previously came from Aiko who disappeared after her body was chopped up to bear the burden of Sirius's mistakes. However, after Aiko returned to the stealth slime herd that was on duty with me, the leadership wheel of the stealth slime herd returned to Aiko and Sirius served as her deputy leader.

I felt... something had happened last night.

The surge of magical energy they emitted was also much different from before. It looked like they had a surge of magical energy from someone's interference.

At this point, I also began to feel the strange changes given by Momo.

As a cursed Odachi that had its level of self-awareness, she looked calm as if she was hiding something related to the surge of magical energy that had become even higher as a cursed Odachi.

I wanted to dig deeper into this but it seemed unnecessary because their major changes were aimed at helping me in the future.

I was sure about that.

"Is something wrong, Master? Your face looks like it wants to say something," when I was confused about what happened to them, Zoe gave a speech that directed my gaze to her and change her form to butterfly spirit.

In her butterfly spirit form that was flying and perched on my face, Zoe emitted a much greater magical aura than usual. It felt like she was undergoing the evolution that the previous stealth slime herd did.

Could it be... all of this came from Zoe?

To make sure, I immediately asked Zoe.

"It seems to be going well, did it take you a long time to make them much stronger than before?" I asked Zoe by asking an ambiguous question.

I also don't know if this question will answer the mysterious incident that is currently happening.

But I know... Zoe is involved in this.

"I had a little trouble controlling my greed and wanted to enjoy the high-quality magic catalyst, but it went well and I shared the high-quality magic catalyst as food with them. Have I done a job worthy of praise from you, my beloved Master?" replied Zoe who openly showed herself as the main perpetrator of the surge in magic energy experienced by Momo, Sirius, and Aiko.

"Yes, good job in making them a little stronger than before," I replied by giving a small compliment that made Zoe look happy by flapping her butterfly wings.

Plapp...

Wiisshh...

Plapp...

Wiisshh...

When Zoe flapped her butterfly wings looking happy with the praise I gave, a strong gust of wind was created from the flapping of her butterfly wings.

I see... Zoe already increase her strength like a Calamity Disaster, it seems that it already affects the pure power produced by her magic core.

I don't know how strong Zoe will be in the future.

What is certain, this already shows her potential in the future which is very strong with the flapping of her butterfly wings which can blow a big wind like this.

While I was busy watching the changes in Zoe, then I steal a glance to Aiko, Sirius, and Momo as a Calamity Disaster too.

"Oh, my..." I muttered a little about their change, then change my glance to Mio and Evelyn who change their apperance..

I was surprised by the appearance of Mio and Evelyn who had changed into wearing white aprons.

"Lily-sama, can we use this sharp-horned boar meat for breakfast? Ah! We will sort out the meat that has rotted and the meat that is still fresh!" said Evelyn while holding the cooking knife in her hand.

When Evelyn said those words, I saw several groups of stealth slimes who were going to take care of several sharp-horned boars.

Along with Evelyn's words, Sirius and Aiko immediately gave orders to refrain from touching the sharp-horned boar meat that would be used to cook breakfast.

"Do you want to use the sharp-horned boar that was killed last night for breakfast?" I asked with my expressionless face to confirm what she were going to do.

"Y-Yes?" Evelyn instead answered with a questioning expression on her face.

"This makes me curious, show me what you can do with the sharp-horned boar meat that is slowly rotting," I said while looking at the sharp-horned boar corpse.

"I heard that sharp-horned boar meat is very delicious and suitable for any dish because it is full of muscle fibers that feel chewy when bitten," I continued to let Evelyn's group manage the breakfast they wanted to cook.

"Mio, you will help them to adjust to my taste, okay?" Now my question is directed to Mio who has put on a white apron to join in cooking.

"Yes, is there a problem with this, Lily-sama?" with that answer, I started using the magic ability that opened the magic storage box and took out some seasonings that came from the Yurification Shop.

Now, I wanted Mio to use her cooking skills that had been trained with seasonings from another world together with Evelyn's group.

Baammm!!

Bammm!!

With a lot wooden box that showed the seasonings and spices that came from another world, I needed to give a touch of luxury to the taste of the dishes they were going to make.

"Use this and show all your abilities in managing the high-quality sharp-horned boar meat, Mio," I said while giving orders to Mio and began to nod my head to the herd of stealth slimes to immediately help with the process of cooking this morning's meal.

Together with the instructions given by Aiko and Sirius, I saw several stealth slimes returning to patrol in turns and several other stealth slimes began to build a public kitchen that would be used to cook breakfast dishes in large quantities.

Evelyn and several other noble girls immediately looked for sharp-horned boar meat that had not rotted. Their skills in dissecting wild animals' corpses seemed to have been trained especially in separating the body parts that could be sold to the Adventurer's Guild.

"Oohh, they have good decision to take advantage of this to fill their pockets with some silver and bronze pieces for selling the body part to Adventure Guilds," I muttered a little while observing the activities that were happening before my eyes.

I who seemed idle immediately took some cooking utensils that would be used by Mio and looked for the remaining white apron to join in cooking too.

With the military uniform starting to come off my body, I suddenly heard a whisper from my Goddess.

[ Lily-chan, can you use a naked apron to cook breakfast? ]

"Huh?" My face turned cold after hearing the whisper from my Goddess.

This perverted Goddess... she wants me to use a naked apron to cook breakfast?

What kind of craziness has happened inside my own Goddess's mind?

Oh, my perverted Goddess, you're kidding me, right?

[ I'm being serious, Lily-chan! ]

[ I want this beautiful and sexy Lily-chan to wear a naked apron while cooking in the wild like this! ]

[ I'm sure it will show a sexy, lewd sight in the morning! ]

My face suddenly felt stiff and I felt a darkness start to fill my face.

Wearing a naked apron in the wild like this?

Wouldn't that make me look like a perverted noblegirl who doesn't know manners?

My Goddess seems to have lost her ability to think straight to be this lewdness.
