"The food is ready! Come here if you want!" I said out loud even though the distance between the table and the living room was just a few meters. I'm bringing my special cuisine to the table. The food is still hot which can be seen by the steam coming out of it even when I already cover the top with a lid. I have to wear an oven glove just to carry it from the kitchen since it's scorching and going to cause burnt skin if I'm not careful.
Moreover, I put it on the table, right at the center because it's the biggest among others and also to give a balanced space between the left side and the right side of the table. The table is already set up by Erika with plates, glasses, and utensils at each sit.
I take my hand out of the gloves and put the gloves on the counter behind me. When I turn around, I see Erika and Rebecca are already sitting on the chair. ...Eh, since when they were there!? I just turn my head around for a second and they're already here? *Sigh* Sometimes I wonder if this world is real or not.
Ignore that, I sit on the chair at the end of the table while they sit on both sides. The moment that we all have been waiting for is here, the special cuisine that I prepared just for tonight is presented here, covered by the lid to prevent anyone from seeing it. I reach out to lift up the lid, presenting the result of hardworking, sweaty, and sleepless nights, just to learn cooking.
When I lift up the lid, the turds of steam come out like crazy. Hmm, I don't remember making the food this hot. It takes a few seconds before the steam faded out, making the food visible to the naked eye.
I can't really describe how the appearance of the food. I use A5 Wagyu beef ribeye steak that was cut thick, It comes complete with a red wine bacon gravy that emulates any sauce from a three-star Michelin restaurant. Its strong flavor surely gonna boost your desire to devour it, the smell... *Sniff* Aaah~ Undescribable. Comes with sauteed garlic and a piece of rosemary on top of it really brings out the flavor.
I also make a peppercorn sauce, red wine jus, and shallot & red wine sauce for the dip or to pour on the steak. These things will make the steak more mouth-watering and irresistible to whoever is lucky to smell it. Not just that, I also manage to make salted french fries, bought a loaf of bread from the bakery store, a bowl of coleslaw, and cut a few slices of apples. All of this is served on the table, waiting for us to eat them. Really appealing to anyone who sees this cuisine.
I look up and see the different reactions from Erika and Rebecca. Rebecca is speechless, her mouth is wide open, and her eyes keep blinking without stopping, in disbelief at what she witnessed. She must be really blown away by what is in front of her. I bet she never see or experienced something like this before. Of course she would, these whole things cost me an arm and a leg to make! *Sigh* I don't know if can ever create something like this again in the future.
Erika on the other hand, engraved a smug on her face. Why're you smug, huh? I've never cooked something like this before. Did you feel proud of your big bro or something? You're lucky that Rebecca is still in awe, making her not notice your face.
I, myself, feel really proud. It was not easy to make something grand like this alone without help from anyone. It's also so damn expensive, especially because of the wagyu that cost me around $200! Plus other ingredients make it almost $500 in total. I make all of this just for you, Rebecca. If you not being grateful, I'm certainly gonna kill myself.
*Snap* I snap my finger for Rebecca to come back to Earth since she has been staring at the food for a minute without moving a bit. I'm starting to feel worried that she might die from shock. Thankfully, she has returned back to reality with a bit of jumping, making her boobs jiggle a bit.
Stop, don't stare. I know her breast is a little bit bigger than the average woman but control yourself, bastard! Why is her breast that big in the first place? Did all the food that she had been eating come straight to her breast? Is that even possible? Hers is not as big as Tomoe, of course, but still big! *Slapping myself* Ok-kay, I should stop talking about her breast or anyone's breast.
"So, what are you waiting for? Dig in!" I invite them to eat the food. We each take each part of the steak, divide it into three parts, and put it on our plate. I cut a small piece out of it with a knife and a fork to feel a taste of my own food. I put it inside my mouth, and the piece touches the surface of my tongue, waking up all of my taste at once. The meat melts inside my mouth, releasing all juices it has inside.
Mhm~ Oh god, I never taste something like this before! It feels like I am in heaven, surrounded by white clouds all around me, giving me a whole other level of experience. I snapped back into reality and I notice the girls make the same reaction, they must be in heaven right now, judging by the face they make. The face of unusual experience.
I unconsciously smile when I look at them. They must be happy right now with the way there are, I hope I can see them like this all the time. But, what can I do? The past is slowly coming back to me, haunting my sleep every night, for the past week. It feels like something trying to tell me about the group but I've left them a long time ago. What could it possibly be? *Sigh* I hope all of this is just nightmares and soon will disappear over time.
