Chapter 28 - If I were twenty years younger, I would definitely fall in love with you!
"Ohhhhh! Everyone! Drink up!"
After Riveria and the others took their seats, Loki stepped on the table with one foot, holding a wine glass, and roared like a dwarf.
"OHHH!"
"DRINK!"
More than forty members raised their glasses of wine or water, and the roar was deafening, almost blowing the roof off.
Perhaps only at this time would the Familia members be so accommodating to their eccentric goddess.
After handing over the remaining food service to a cat-person and several elves, Noah carried his own food to a corner of the cafeteria.
As for self-introductions? Judging from the fact that Noah had been stopped and greeted more than ten times while walking less than ten meters, it seemed there was no need.
Noah scooped a spoonful of broth into his mouth and couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly in enjoyment.
Hmm! I've really outdone myself.
For adventurers who risk their lives all day, the most important companions are their weapons and their food. Most of the money earned by adventurers is spent on these two things. As one of the two major Familias in the city, the Loki Familia naturally did not skimp on food.
All ingredients were delivered by the Demeter Familia, a major agricultural Familia.
The Demeter Familia often cooperates with the Loki Familia to obtain special ingredients in the Dungeon, improving and cultivating them with the knowledge of their god. The taste of these ingredients far exceeded that of ordinary food.
Even without any ill intention, the Demeter Familia still dominated the Orario food market.
The only problem was, perhaps due to their Familia's preference, the ingredients cultivated by the Demeter Familia were very sweet. However, for Noah, who already loved sweets, this wasn't a problem at all; it was an advantage.
Of course, just because Noah liked desserts didn't mean he made all his dishes sweet. That would be a waste of good food. Every ingredient has its own delicious taste, and Noah only needed to help it show its true flavor. That was the meaning of cooking.
After drinking a glass of wine, the Familia members picked up their spoons again. Having simply filled their stomachs earlier, this time, every member was completely engrossed in the food, and all kinds of exclamations and praises were heard.
"Mmm! This bread! So fragrant and crispy, and dipped in this gravy, woooo!"
"Vegetable buns? This is my first time seeing this... it's vegan? But for the first time, I think it tastes better than meat!"
"The broth is so delicious! It's lighter than usual, but so fragrant!"
"Wow! With cooking skills like this, we've hit the jackpot with this new guy! What do you know, Loki actually did something right for once!"
"Hey, I was just saying I'm getting old and need to slow down! Get out of here!"
The jokes from the members made Loki's eyes widen, and she uttered an unclear protest from her mouth, which was full of steak.
In Orario, male adventurers who could cook were rare. In fact, adventurers who could cook at all were rare.
Otherwise, the west side of Orario would not be occupied by an entire street of pubs and restaurants.
As Noah was eating and enjoying his own cooking, several people approached. "Hey, boy, that lemon meat pie is really delicious. I ate three of them!"
The person who spoke was an elderly human man. Although his face was covered with wrinkles, his back was still straight and strong. Coupled with his combat uniform, which looked like a kimono, he gave off the sharp feeling of a swordsman.
"I'm Noah." Although he didn't know their identities, Noah still stood up and shook hands with the man. "It's a compliment to the chef to finish the food. Thank you."
Behind the old man was an Amazon who looked to be about forty years old. She was still holding a large piece meat, biting into it with wild movements. "Ah, boy! Your cooking skills are probably unmatched in Orario. Even if you don't make it as an adventurer, being a chef wouldn't be bad!"
Faced with this compliment, Noah nodded calmly. "I think so too. When it comes to cooking, I don't think I can lose to anyone."
"Oh my, boy, are you so confident?"
"On the contrary, I know I don't have much ability, but I am quite confident in three things."
The old man and the Amazon looked at each other, confused. "What three things?"
"I have a handsome appearance, I'm a strong swordsman, and my cooking skills are amazing!"
After a brief silence, the old man, the Amazon, and a nearby dwarf all burst into laughter, their roars even drowning out the noise in the cafeteria. Loki also cast a curious look over, watching the communication between the veterans and the rookie.
"This kid is really interesting! Loki found a good one this time! It seems we won't be bored in the future."
"If I were twenty years younger, I would definitely fall in love with you!"
"I'm very touched, but I'm sorry, you don't fit my aesthetic standards!"
