Chapter 2
Part 1
─── Airborne Castle. The kitchen.
Having tended to her own wounds, Kuro Usagi left the castle tower that she was warded in and started helping out in the kitchen which was located at another tower.
Even in times of war, tummies would go hungry. The hunger that returned from the relief of reuniting with her comrades motivated Kuro Usagi to whip up some dishes for sustenance.
(Aiyaya. Everyone here is busying themselves with the food preparations for both the injured and the refugees.)
Kuro Usagi moved in small hops around the kitchen as her usagimimi waved in the air.
Borrowing a corner of the kitchen that no one else was using, Kuro Usagi placed some ingredients she found around the place together to boil up a simple soup of egg and vegetables. Fortunately, there was a storage of large quantities of spices so spicing things up for the taste amounted to no problem at all.
Following that, Kuro Usagi stir-fried another dish of lamb jerkies and egg.
These dishes were a simple fare, but now being a critical time for them all, one would be grateful for such a luxury.
(Although they have managed to buy some time with the authorities of 「Host Master」, it is unknown as to how long that peace would last before the start of the next battle. Kuro Usagi must prepare herself in the meantime as well.)
Currently, the assembly for the battle strategizing was being held with the others and the next call for them would surely be the deployment of all able-bodied personnel. If that were to be the case, the likelihood for Kuro Usagi to be assigned as one of the strengths of the main force would be very high indeed.
Thus, for the sake of carrying out her duties later, now was the time for her to replenish her strength as much as possible.
(Since these usagimimi have returned, Kuro Usagi’s not a burden anymore. Kuro Usagi will work hard to not hold back Izayoi-san, Asuka-san and Yō-san.)
Clenching her fists, Kuro Usagi silently firmed her resolve. And just when Kuro Usagi was about to carry away her completed dishes, a familiar voice came from behind.
“Ooh, that looks tasty. Kuro Usagi-dono, may I have a taste too?”
Kuro Usagi shook her usagimimi as she turned her head back.
As it was a voice that she recalled having heard before, Kuro Usagi turned her back with her guard down, only to widen her eyes after seeing the owner of the voice.
(Woah Woah…..! Where, where did this beauty come from…?!)
Kuro Usagi frantically took a step back as she took in the sight of the female whom she had not met before. She had seen quite a few beauties in her life. However, this person was on a complete league of her own
In contrast to that set of strong and determined eyes that contained the sense of demureness and great intellect, her breasts which were bigger than average being matched with a vertical striped sweater with a low neckline only served to give off an enticing feeling.
Her slightly long flaxen hair were plaited wonderfully and it reached from her shoulders to lie between her breasts. And naturally, that would have attracted the line of sight of any onlookers.
Different from the vibe that Leticia exudes, this woman gave off the appeal of a mature woman.
(Shirayuki-sama and Willa-san possess sizable breasts, but these are also……!)
“Kuro Usagi-dono, It’s okay to look, but shouldn’t you show some restrain?”
The mystery beauty chided with a wry smile. It was only then that Kuro Usagi who was peeping into the other person’s cleavage was brought back to reality. Indeed, that was a truly unrestrained gaze. It is only because Kuro Usagi’s a female that it could be laughed aside. However, a slap would have been reasonable if it were to be a guy doing that very same act of staring.
——But, who in the world is this person?
There was no way for anyone to forget such a beauty even if they only had just a single glance.
Moreover, this person seemed to know Kuro Usagi.
Ignoring Kuro Usagi’s bewilderment, the mysterious beauty combed back her hair to peer at the dish.
“Oops. Is that mutton jerky…..? And I just wanted to have a bite together, but now this is a little troubling. Cannibalising would be bad.”
“The same race as the mountain goats? Eh, could you be,”
“Mhm. This is my first time taking on the form of a human. So allow me to introduce myself once more—— I’m the mountain goat celestial beast, Amalthea. As a comrade of the same community, I will be in your care.”
Being greeted with a friendly smile in a polite fashion, Kuro Usagi quickly responded in kind. And thinking about it carefully, it would not be strange that she was able to perform an anthropomorphization. After all, Amalthea is a celestial beast as well as a divine being.
Kuro Usagi lifted her head as she recalled the legends of the female who stood before herself.
(This person is the elder of the Greek god faction. The nurse-mother of Zeus, the sky god. As well as a harvest goddess and the strongest shield.)
……even though it was a summarised description, it was already quite amazing.
Before a rare type celestial beast such as Amalthea, the 「Moon Rabbit」s and the pure blooded vampires paled in comparison.
Even though her spiritual level would have fallen somewhat, it was still unbelievable that someone as important as her would join 「No Name」. Then, just what kind of contract could Asuka have made with her?
Sensing the intent behind Kuro Usagi’s gaze, Amalthea then smiled as she pointed towards the canteen.
“Since it’s not often that we meet like this, let’s just go to the canteen to have a chat. I’ve always wanted to have a chat with our Community’s strategist, Kuro Usagi-dono. Would that be fine with you?”
“YES! Let’s do that, of course!”
Kuro Usagi’s usagimimi perked up as she replied. Seeing that the strategic meetings will be taking a little while longer, Kuro Usagi took the chance to have a chat with Amalthea.
The duo then prepared some tea and snacks before setting off in search for a space to have their meal.
