Chapter 254: 254
"You are back . " Evelyn looked at me when I returned to the cave .
"Did anything happen while I was gone?"
"Nothing . But I felt several powerful monsters nearby . "
I nodded . Even although Evelyn and I hid in the cave, the commotion we caused did not end . Quite the opposite, it had attracted many more powerful monsters towards here .
According to my senses, there were several eleventh and twelfth-layer monsters roaming around .
"Ignore them . " I said while putting the rabbit-like thing I hunted on the ground . "Just focus on the spell . If something happens, I'll take care of it . "
Evelyn curved her lips up in a teasing smile . "Oh? So reliable . "
"Of course . How else am I going to make the beauty fall for me?"
Evelyn chocked on her words and shook her head in defeat .
Cooking the rabbit was easy . I just created a small flame with my mana and set it to keep burning using the mana in the surroundings . Although the mana in this world was thin, it was enough to keep a not-even-first-layer flame burning for a long while .
Then, I took a knife from my belt and use it to skin the rabbit . Evelyn looked at the knife wondering where it came from (actually, I created it before returning), but in the end, she just assumed I had carried it always with me but she just did not notice .
After cleaning the rabbit meat (with water I got from a nearby creek), I used two sticks to roast it over the fire . Unfortunately, I did not have seasonings to roast the rabbit with . I managed to get salt from a salt rock nearby (Evelyn was confused about how the salt was so white), but there was no way to get seasonings in this situation unless I return to our world .
Thus, I had to work without them . Fortunately, after thousands of years of life, it's easy to become proficient in stuff like cooking .
Not to brag, but I'm a hell of a good cook . Even just using salt, I managed to make a roasted rabbit (or whatever this animal is) good enough to make Evelyn salivate .
"Boy, I did not know you were such a good cook . " Evelyn praised me with a surprised expression .
I smiled . "If you marry me, I can cook for you every time you want . "
Evelyn blushed . "Can you stop teasing me, please? Did you forget I'm your elder?"
"To be honest, I never cared about it . "
Evelyn turned even redder . "Sly brat . " She then continued eating the rabbit while avoiding looking at me .
After we replenished our energy, Evelyn started to work in modifying the spell .
Once more, I sighed in admiration of Evelyn's talent . She used my idea and modified the teleportation spell to get it to work in the current circumstances .
Moreover, although I was rather vague with my explanations, Evelyn seemed to understand my idea completely . She even added a few things I did not mention on her own .
In less than three hours, she had already finished the first prototype of the spell .
"It's done . "
"Do you think it will work?" I looked at the spell curiously . I already knew the answer, but I had to act my part .
Evelyn shook her head . "I don't know . We need to try and see how it does . "
I nodded . "I calculated and it should be around midnight in our world right now . We should try to return before it's dawn . Otherwise, someone could leak rumors about your disappearance and possible death . "
"I know . Don't worry, even if this spell fails, the information I get after using it will be useful for the next attempt . "
"Actually, I don't mind staying here for a while longer . I get to spend time with you alone after all . Mm, thinking about it, living together in this place is not such a bad idea . We can try to repopulate the world . "
Evelyn was startled and then she blushed . "R-Rogue! Stop joking and let's go!" Feigning a serious expression, Evelyn walked away to hide her flustered expression .
I chuckled . "But it's the truth!"
"Claus!"
