[The psychic of the sea] title allows the bearer to manipulate sea water without [Water Affinity], to a limited degree. The main strength of this title is to allow the bearer to control the weaker inhabitants of the sea. If the Mind Crab was closer to the ocean, Colin would have had zero chances of winning, even with the help of Lily and the rest of his family.
"Sir, we are finished with the corpses." One of Bartus' guild members said
"Good, get the meat to the kitchen and dispose of the useless parts." Bartus said
"Yes sir." She said as she and the rest of the butchers packed up the meat and brought it to the kitchen for Melissa and the others to cook.
'Hmm, I wonder what the others are doing.' Bartus thought, 'the others' he was referring to were the other members of his guild. A lot of the members were out keeping watch, and a few were here butchering the corpses. The children and a few of the other adults were pretty much free to do as they please until the food was ready.
"Might as well check." Bartus said and spread his [Aura Vision] throughout the entire town. He could sense his guild members all over the place, bustling with activity, but more importantly, safe.
"What to do now? Ahh, I wanted to check out human technology, now is the perfect time isn't it?" Bartus said and activated his [Sneak] skill and decided to take a stroll around the town.

"Why is the ground glowing?" Melissa said outloud as she could see the ground emitting a rainbow radiance.
"Come on, after all we've been through for the past month, the ground glowing is what catches you off guard." One of Daimonis chuckled as she dried the last plate.
"I guess it shouldn't huh." Melissa said
"Don't worry, if anything happens, I'll protect you." The Daimonis said as she gently rubbed Melissa's back
"Kinsey, I get that you are a lust demon now. But please stop doing that." Melissa said, as her breath became heavy and she blushed
"Doing what?" Kinsey said, playing dumb
"Using your [Charm] skill, I can tell when you are using it and it's really annoying." Melissa said
"Kill joy." Kinsey said and deactivated her skill
"Thank you." Melissa said as her breathing became normal
"You know it's hard being a Daimoni, it's like being hungry all the time and not being able to eat you know. We have been moving for the past week that I haven't been able to feed. I wonder how Lily does it, she doesn't seem to have the same problem." Kindsey said
"Maybe you should ask her?" Melissa said
"Nope, it's probably because she's tier 4 or because she has been a demon longer than any of us." She said
"If you are that hungry, go and ask someone to sleep you." Melissa said
"What do you think I'm doing now?" Kindsey said with a smile and Melissa sighed
"Ahem, sorry to interrupt, but we finished butchering the beasts." A leprechaun said
"Oh, you can place them on that table over there." Melissa said, pointing towards a wide table behind them that they prepared for the meat. They already had the seasoning and sauces ready. The leprechaun nodded their head and summoned all the chunks of meat out of their storage ring onto the table
"I really need to get one of those." Melissa muttered to herself
"I have a request, if it is ok with you, I would like to observe the cooking techniques humans use?" The leprechaun asked
"Oh right, I forgot demons don't really cook that much in the underworld huh. I guess you can stay." Kindsey said and Melissa agreed. Most demons from the underworld didn't have time to experiment with different types of cooking techniques for the food they had available, since survival was hard it enough as it is. Besides, with their powerful physiques, eating meat raw wasn't much of an issue.
"Wow, you guys are gonna have to teach me how to do this?" Kindsey said as she took up a piece of the meat. The meat was cut in a perfect cube chunk, with a little bit of blood dripping off it. The cubes weren't all the same, and some of them were actually meatballs, but they were no less impressive. There were no bones inside the chunks and there was little blood on the table.
"Let's get started working on these. The others have started working already." Melissa said, rolling up her sleeves. Melissa had decided that it was best to split the already small group up so that they can be done faster. Most of them were cooking the rice and flour in another kitchen, since they had to make enough for over a hundred people, that task would be the most difficult and take the longest. As the hours past, many different tantalizing aromas escaped the kitchens, finding it's way all over the city and down in the basement.
"What's that smell?" Lily said as she woke up and sniffed the air. She looked over at the array of runes she drew and she could see that it was still active and has almost had enough demonic energy to act autonomously. Some of the leprechauns and daimonis have already fainted from losing too much DP, but they were still alive.
"I should probably get them out." Lily said as she took the unconscious members out of the array and put them to the side.
**********************************************
"What a beautiful aroma, I've never smelt anything like it." Bartus said as he sniffed the air and followed the scent back to the hotel and so did the other leprechauns in the city .
**********************************************
"I said no." Kindsey said as she slapped the hand of the leprechaun away from the pot for the third time
"Can't I have atleast one?" The leprechaun pleaded as he looked at the pot filled with chunks of meat, being simmered in some kind of delicious red sauce emitting a delicious aroma.
"No, they are not done yet." She said to him
"But they smell so good." He said
"Trust me, they'll taste even better if you wait. Trust the process. Besides, aren't you here to observe how we make the food, hmm?" Kindsey said and the leprechaun sighed dejectedly
"Hey Kindsey, I think we have a problem. We don't have enough plates and utensils for everyone." Melissa said
"Crap." Kindsey said
"Plates and utensils. You mean these correct?" The leprechaun asked, picking up a plate, fork, spoon and knife in his hand
"Yes those." Melissa confirmed and leprechaun opened his hand and an orb of liquid gold appeared in it, before taking the shape of the plate and utensils he just took up.
"My guild will be able to create more using our affinities. I'll contact them." He said
"Tell them to also create chairs and tables for everyone in the courtyard as well." Kindsey suggested
