Getting reborn: I will make a harem this time.-Chapter 102: High protein meal

After an awkward training session with Ayesha, we both headed inside after Mother was done cooking.

She kept on giving me strange glances. At first, I thought that maybe she was disturbed by that letter, but it actually wasn’t the case.

She seemed as if she wanted to say or ask me something, I even confronted her, but nothing came out of her.

She shrugged it off, saying, "I am not feeling well today."

A lie that I can tell at a glance. No way an Elf will ever fall sick, and when she is actually an Archmage.

But she seemed tense; I could tell she hadn’t slept much the night before.

This did make me wonder if she actually heard or saw anything yesterday.

That might be why she is acting like this, but wouldn’t she have confronted us already if that was the case?

Maybe she is thinking too much about what I said before, about her needing a better core for her to ascend. She might be thinking too much about it and did not sleep at all yesterday.

Both could be possible, but there was nothing to worry about.

I will help her to find the core if she isn’t able to get it on her own, and getting it on her own is almost impossible. It is not a child’s play to find a Godly core.

As for others, she would have found out eventually about my relationship with my mother.

There is only one thing that I need to look for now.

And that is the only thing on my mind.

[Are you sure you are going to kill him, husband?]

Zixane asked me, she knew about all of this before me.

Yes, I am.

I replied to her.

[I see.]

You seem unsure? Are you doubting me?

I asked her, and she immediately responded to me.

[No. It’s just... I feel like he is onto something. You should be careful.]

Is there even a need for me to be careful for someone like him?

I understand how you feel, husband. But if I haven’t sensed him all these years, and out of nowhere he appeared again a few days ago, and now he is sending you an invitation to join him. There seems to be fishy here.]

I know that he is planning something, but are you doubting me right now, Zixane?

I asked again, my voice cold right now. I was so lost that I didn’t even think through before speaking like this with her.

Hearing my cold words, Zixane went silent for a second, there was fear on her face.

I will never. I am sorry that it seemed like that.]

She apologised with a low and soft voice.

Hearing that, I closed my eyes. I shouldn’t have talked with her like this.

I am sorry for talking like that. I never thought I would feel like this ever. Forgive me if you can.

[No, husband. I am not angry at all. You feel like this because you truly care about them.]

Yeah, I do.

I replied to her.

I do care about them, but they are not the only ones. Even though she can deal with anyone much faster than I, I will feel the same if someone ever insults Zixane as well.

[I am happy to hear that, husband.]

She happily responded to me.

How many times have I told you not to read my thoughts?

I don’t remember, and I don’t care. Punish me if you want, but it will never stop it.]

She haughtily said it, feeling proud about it.

After she said that, she waited a second, changing her tone to a serious one, and she warned me.

[But do be careful, husband. He isn’t alone this time. I can sense many more people around him.]

I appreciate your concern, wifey. But do you not know who I am?

I asked her.

To which, she chuckled a little and responded.

[I know, husband. I know you better than anyone. If it really comes to it, even I will lose to you. A mere saint realm will never stand a chance before you.]

I beheld a proud smile when she said that. Been a while since someone has praised me.

I might struggle to kill a saint right now, but if it really comes to it, where I have to go all out, then I can even face a God without getting killed. I will never be able to kill a God, but they will never be able to kill me either.

And all of this is just because of my domain.

That’s the only thing I need.

Even in my previous life, I had no strength. I was too bored to even after I awakened a demonic core that I didn’t gather demonic mana at all.

Just relying on my domain that I have been carrying through many lives, I ruled over everyone.

Hailed as the Demon Clown.

Even Gods feared me just because of my domain. The one and only reason why even the world tree answered all of my questions.

Then you need not fear, and besides, if something does go wrong, I have you, don’t I?

[Yep, you can count on me, husband. I will protect you.]

I simply smiled at it and didn’t speak further.

As both me and Ayesha entered inside, we were greeted with a delicious smell that was coming from the kitchen.

I whiffed the smell, it immediately made my mind go numb. I felt hungry after smelling that.

"You seemed to have made something very delicious, Eleanor," Ayesha said with a smile.

She finally seems normal again.

"Yep, but I cooked after so long, don’t know if they are actually that good."

"Don’t say that, just the smell is making my mouth watery."

We both went near her, Ayesha couldn’t stop complimenting mother for her cooking, they indeed smelled damn good. But as we looked at the dishes that were prepared before us, both of us froze in our spots.

All of the dishes... aren’t they the ones to increase stamina and vitality?

So she spends all this time inside to cook these?

She cannot make it any more obvious.

I even glanced at my mother and raised my eyebrow, asking her what she meant by this.

But the only thing I received in response was a smile from her with closed eyes.

Even Ayesha was shocked by it. She had just gotten her thoughts straight, trying to forget the things that she saw, and with these things before her... she was back to being sad and tensed again.

"Well, take your seats. Food will be served soon." She happily said it, raising the spatula in her hand.

Both me and Ayesha went ahead and took our seat on the dining table.

After a minute, the maids helped mother bring the food to the table.

Soon the food was served. Mother also took her seat beside me. Ayesha was sitting before both of us.

I looked at the food before me and towards my mother, who was smiling without stopping beside me.

I couldn’t help but ask myself, why?

Why do I even need this?

Was my performance not enough? I wasn’t even tired after doing it all night.

Still, I picked up the spoon before me and scooped the yellow soup and put it inside my mouth.

As soon as the soup entered my mouth, the flavours exploded.

It was fucking delicious.

I immediately turned to look at my mother, who asked me, "How is it?"

I couldn’t answer her with words. The only thing that I can think of is... perfect.

"Why did you never cook for us?" I asked, genuinely impressed by her cooking.

And this was the first time I had tasted her cooking. I had thought she did not know how to cook at all because all the cooking was done by the maids in the household.

"Is it that good?" Excitement was all over her face as she asked me that.

"Good? This is too good."

I then started to eat everything that was served to me.

Everything tasted amazing. I have never had anything like this before.

Seeing me enjoy this so much, a certain someone, ah sorry, a certain jealous someone couldn’t help but voice herself out.

[I can cook too.]

Yeah, you might. But you have never cooked for me.

[I can cook better!!]

Hmm? Why are you acting like this? This is just cooking, what’s the big deal?
