Chapter 9 - Dungeon in the restaurant

Mae used her strength to push open a long-rotted wooden door while cleaning to restore the place

She noticed a mysterious door in the kitchen a long time ago and didn't know what it was. The Eri system told her that this door was the entrance to the dungeon. She remembered that in the game, dungeons were places to fight monsters, collect weapons, and gain EXP to level up. An energy source radiated from that dungeon. Upon analysis, the danger level was quite low, so Mae was able to enter on her own.

She should get tested before she talks about this with other people and her children.

Going inside the dungeon, Mae used fire magic to light up the darkness. She was a bit surprised that there was such a deep dungeon in an inn. Did Belle and Fifi not know about this place?

Suddenly something passed by, startling her. That thing passed behind her and she turned around to look but saw nothing.

"Am I hallucinating?"- Mae

When she looked forward, in front of her was something huge. Mae raised the fire and the thing in the darkness was a lizard. A large lizard she had never seen before.

"HISS!"

"AAAAH!!!" - Mae shouted

She immediately ran away quickly inside, the monster chased after her, it climbed on the wall and rushed straight towards her.

"Wait, I have a skill. It can help me in this case!"- Mae

She raised her hand back towards the other lizard and then released a huge fire that burned it. When the fire was turned off, the lizard's body had been roasted and its body twitched. It immediately separated the far part, which was scorched, then lost its tail and ran away. Just as Mae escaped death, she smelled the fragrance from the grilled lizard's tail.

____________

[Tips: Lizard meat has a very high protein content, especially the tail. After receiving fire elemental damage, it will separate the burned skin and damage the tail, causing the tail to fall off and run away. All nutrients accumulate in the tail]

____________

"Can lizard meat be eaten?" - Mae

"They are very popular with adventurers, but because they are high-class foods, they are not easy to find" - Eri

Hearing that, Mae looked at the grilled lizard tail, she immediately tore off a piece of meat and put it in her mouth to try it.

Its taste...

Really delicious!

It is firm like beef, succulent like pork fat, and tastes just like Kobe A5 meat.

Suddenly there were many noises inside, they were the lizard's accomplices from earlier, it seemed like they were angry because of earlier. They approached Mae with very scary expressions, it seemed like they were ready to kill her.

Or so she thought.

The lizards cut off their tails, left them for her, and ran away deep inside,

Mae doesn't understand what just happened, but maybe she's safe for now. She stuffed the giant tails into her magic bag and continued deep into the dungeon.

Her two children are exposed to a lot of games or comics, so they often tell her about what a dungeon is like. There are many different types of dungeons. Depending on the type of dungeon, it can prove dangerous. of the monsters in. The more powerful monsters a dungeon has, the higher the chance of getting rare items.

She walked and walked and walked, without seeing a single monster, but she still couldn't let down her guard, because she could feel the presence of monsters around here. They were just waiting for the opportunity to attack her.

And sure enough, it was true, luckily she dodged in time or was ambushed by a Chimera monster. This monster is much more ferocious than those lizards. The lion's head shot fireballs, the goat's head constantly emitted ear-splitting sounds, not to mention the snake's tail that constantly wanted to attack her if she let her guard down.

"There's no way we'll be defeated" - Mae

Mae then unleashed her weapon, she threw a liquid towards the Chimera, covering the monster's body causing it to scream in pain. A sizzling sound like the sound of frying meat came from the monster, because it couldn't stand it and fell dead.

"Fortunately, I brought homemade cooking oil. I didn't think it would be so effective" - Mae

She noticed that the deeper she went inside, the paved road was no longer there, but was replaced by a cold dirt road, and the atmosphere was also colder. There were also more paths, to avoid getting lost, Mae used glowing crystals to throw on the ground to mark the way

After walking for a while longer, Mae saw a strange dome, it looked like it was made by someone and not by nature. She stepped inside and saw a human statue with half of its face missing. Half of the face is still intact, it is the face of a woman with a beautiful face, but the lower body of the statue is an unusual body. Looking at the condition of the statue, it must have been here for a long time.

____________

[Notice: There is a source of power stored in the large statue!]

[Start analysis...]

[Success Analysis: Can adapt to strength]

____________

"So this statue is like an object to break and receive, right?" - Mae asked herself

She approached the statue, clasped her hands together to thank the statue, she immediately pushed the statue causing it to tilt backwards and then fall hard and break. From the broken pile of the statue, a stream of power immediately entered Mae's body. Her entire body glowed brightly.

That's it!

There was nothing left around when Mae turned around to exit this dungeon, she saw the silhouettes of the lizards that were hiding behind the walls. It seemed like they were scared, and feeling a little sorry for them, Mae rummaged through her bag and pulled out a lot of food and unprocessed food.

Then she left.

After walking a few steps, there were many noises behind her, including the sound of chewing food, which made her feel more secure.

When she returned to the kitchen, Mae started cooking lizard tails. She remembered the first time her children were curious about grilling, so learning about Western food was quite difficult for her. After several failed attempts, Mae was able to bake and her children were happy about it, so she learned more dishes.

Spread homemade sauce on the cleaned lizard's tail and put it in the oven to grill. Fortunately, she has the ability to control fire so she doesn't have to worry about the food being burned. After a period of grilling, the delicious scent of grilled meat wafts in the air and also floats outside the window.

When the grill was finished, Mae took the grilled lizard tail out of the oven. As soon as she turned towards the cooking table, she saw many people standing and looking at the dish in her hand.

Right after that, the restaurant became more crowded and busier at the end of the hour, other kemonomimi also helped, the chef prepared the food and the waiter served the food. When the dish was just released, it attracted many others, maybe even more.

But it's not just grilled lizard tails with garlic.

Mae also found that there were slime monsters there. They were too small and weak, so she didn't care and gave them spring water. They happily gave her a part of their body. When they analyzed it, they found that the slime was edible. When put in their mouth, the slime immediately entered the mouth and had a sweet taste. So she made slime jelly.

The guests who enjoy the food feel very happy to be able to eat premium meat that everyone wants to try.

"Quickly bring out the food!" - Chef

"Come here now!" - Waiter

"Don't panic, everyone just stay calm!"- Mae

"Has the next dish come out yet?!" - Waiter

"Wait about 10 minutes, the dish will be ready" - Chef

"You guys quickly finish the customer's dishes, I'll go get more ingredient"- Mae

Busy from morning to night.

Mae finally had a rest. She didn't expect the dish made from two monsters to be so popular. She had to go in and out of the dungeon many times to replenish fuel, luckily the monsters there rose up on their own without having to let her kill them.

It's been a long time since she felt this busy atmosphere. It reminds her of when she was a teenager just entering society. Working many jobs to have money to make ends meet, then saving money to build her dream of opening her own restaurant.

"Forget all those stupid and nonsense jobs. Your only job is to stay at home and do housework and take care of your husband and children. Act like a normal wife."

That sentence suddenly appeared in her mind, the man always looked at her from above with disgusted eyes, Mae hugged the pillow tightly and buried her head in the pillow.

Then fall asleep to forget about it.
