Chapter 96
96: Evelia Has a Younger Sister!?
Honestly speaking, when Lola first stepped into the kitchen, she still felt quite a headache coming on.
After all, the guests she needed to care for this time... were truly quite numerous...
Lina the human, her own Princess from the Blood Clan plus herself, Miss Evelia from the Demon lineage and Miss Amya from the Angel lineage, plus a High Elf named Alice...
Good grief, in this small (actually not so small) mansion, five different races had gathered. Was this some kind of racial melting pot?
However, this was merely a slight headache for Lola. No matter what, she was a member of the Blood Clan royal maid corps, and more importantly, Noren's personal maid. How could something as trivial as dining matters possibly stump her?
First, her own Princess and Miss Lina's meals were easy to handle. After all, Lola made their food every day, so she could just prepare it as usual. As for Miss Evelia, although she hadn't stayed for meals very often, and Lola didn't know her preferences as thoroughly as she knew her Princess and Miss Lina's, she still knew some relative preferences. So, Lola chose to use Carlos Goat meat (a magical beast native to the demihuman territory) as the base ingredient to make a roasted meat dish.
As for Amya... honestly, even though Lola was a professional maid, she was completely clueless about angels' preferences. After all, in terms of racial relations, the Blood Clan had always leaned more toward Hell. Their relationship with angels, while not exactly hostile, definitely wasn't good either.
Lola had at most only heard that angels' preferences had some similarities to humans'. Beyond that, she knew absolutely nothing.
Therefore, left with no choice, she made Amya a boiled fish dish using several fish, hoping she would like it.
And with that, dinner for all the guests in the mansion was complete.
What? You're asking about Alice? Heh, don't worry about it. Elves can survive just fine eating a few vegetable leaves. It's not a problem.
If worst comes to worst, just toss her out in the sun for a couple of days. The weather's been quite nice lately. With sufficient sunlight, Alice still won't die~
……
"Miss Lola... you made all of this yourself?"
Amya looked at the table full of delicious dishes with excellent color, aroma, and taste, then looked at the several slender young girls on their side. She couldn't help but wonder whether this entire table of food weighed more or whether all of them combined weighed more.
This scale is seriously too exaggerated! Waste is shameful!!!
"With Miss Alice helping out, the work went much faster."
Saying this, Lola smiled and glanced at Alice, who sat to the side silently gnawing on cabbage leaves without saying a word. At this moment, the Miss High Elf's eyes were filled with grievance. Clearly she had put in quite a bit of effort too, so why was she the only one who could only gnaw on vegetable leaves?
Elves have no human rights!!!
Actually, it wasn't that Lola intentionally wanted to mistreat Alice. Rather, for some reason, every time she saw Alice's pointed ears, that symbol of elves, an inexplicable irritation would rise in her heart. This feeling seemed to have been engraved deep in her bloodline since tens of thousands of years ago, making her subconsciously want to bully Alice.
And this bullying wasn't the kind that Lina did, which clearly had flirtatious undertones. Rather, she genuinely held a faint sense of disgust toward Alice.
"Isn't this... a bit too much?"
"There's no need to worry about that. You are all my young mistresses' friends, the most honored guests of this mansion. When entertaining honored guests, one must show full sincerity. This is our Blood Clan's way of hospitality."
Lola smiled and said to everyone.
"Hmm? Boiled fish? Miss Lola, you even know how to make human dishes?"
The moment she sat at the dining table, Amya was surprised by the boiled fish dish before her, whose style was clearly different from the other dishes! It had to be said, Lola had really hit the spot with this dish for Amya. She had always liked eating fish and spicy food. Boiled fish was a dish she extremely enjoyed.
Back in the day, her older brother had even specially learned this dish for her sake! She was so touched back then! But thinking about it, ever since becoming an angel, she hadn't eaten this dish again. She never expected to eat it again on an occasion like this, made by a Blood Clan noble no less.
"Of course. I have specially studied human cuisine! Although individual humans are the weakest among all races, their culture is indeed quite developed! Especially their food culture, there are many things worth learning from."
"Tsk tsk, boiled fish huh? Does Amya really like this dish?"
"Mmhmm!"
"Oh ho? In that case, if you beg me nicely at home in the future, I wouldn't mind making it for you~"
That Amya liked boiled fish was unexpected to Evelia, but this was undoubtedly great news for her. As the saying goes, to capture a girl's heart, first you must capture her stomach! This would definitely become an important bargaining chip in Evelia's strategic plan!
'I really didn't expect that the dish I specially learned for my sister back then would come in handy on an occasion like this! This is great!'
"Eve-Eve actually knows how to cook?"
"Of course I can cook! This is a dish I specially learned for my younger sister back then!"
Now it was Amya's turn to be surprised. She had thought that Evelia, as the daughter of a Hell noble family, would be hopeless at cooking. But it turned out she had been short-sighted.
But then again... knowing how to cook and all...
Imagining the sight of Evelia wearing an apron and standing on a small stool while busily working in the kitchen, Amya suddenly felt the future was incredibly bright!
Loli housewife types... she loved them the most~
But wait... did she just say she has a younger sister?
"Eve-Eve... has a younger sister?"
"I've heard Eve-Eve mention it before, but I've never met her..."
"Has a younger sister... which means sister rice bowl is possible!? Suddenly so envious of Sister Amya..."
"???"
Miss Pervert who's even more degenerate than me, please tone it down a bit. I'm not like you who accepts anything that comes...
Amya wiped the sweat from her forehead and thought with some embarrassment.
"But if she's Evelia's younger sister, then she must be a quite cute girl too, right? Can you introduce her to me sometime?"
"See! I told you! Sister Amya is definitely thinking about sister rice bowl... mmm mmm mmm!"
"Um... in that case, that might be a bit difficult. After all..."
Evelia somewhat awkwardly looked at Lina, who was desperately struggling while Amya covered her mouth, and said with a slightly sheepish expression.
"Even I haven't seen her in quite a long time..."
