Chapter 153: Lunch

Lin Yu trailed behind the trio of young adventurers, her mind preoccupied with various thoughts.

"What is Mom thinking about?"

"Nothing…"

She certainly wasn’t contemplating anything inappropriate with your body.

"Mom thinks…"

In her mind, Army Lady hesitated, then inquired with a hint of nervousness in her voice.

"How is my daughter’s body?"

"Um… it’s quite good…"

Considering just the weight up front, Army Lady might actually be more suited to motherhood than I am!

Tsk…

Hmm, I’ve made up my mind. I’ll try to have her lay eggs for me later… Ah, but that’s just a skill test, absolutely necessary!

…

By midday, the group of four paused to rest and have their lunch.

Will, Mayer, and Sally removed their backpacks and pulled out some flatbreads they had packed as provisions.

However, after their recent skirmish with the Granville Wolf, their backpacks were smeared with blood, and some of the flatbreads inside were also stained.

Being relatively new adventurers, the sight of the bloodied flatbreads made the trio grimace.

They sifted through the flatbreads and managed to salvage two that were still in decent condition.

As they were about to divide them, a thought struck them, and they turned their attention to the blonde beauty beside them.

"Would Your Highness Army Lady care to try the flatbread we made?"

After exchanging glances, it was Will who finally mustered the courage to ask.

The girl’s stunning beauty, coupled with her reserved and somewhat aloof demeanor, had made it difficult for the three young adventurers to approach her during their journey, and they often avoided looking at her too much.

"Sure, give me one."

"Ah? Oh, okay."

Will was momentarily taken aback by Lin Yu’s response.

He handed her the larger of the two intact flatbreads.

As the blonde girl took a bite and began to chew, the trio watched anxiously.

"So… how does it taste?"

"Dry and hard."

Their expressions fell.

It seemed the three of them had made the flatbread together? They must share a close bond.

"But the flavor is quite nice; it must be even better fresh out of the oven."

I haven’t had flatbread in a long time.

"Really, really?"

The girl named Sally exclaimed with joy.

"This is the bread I made!"

"That’s not true; we made it together."

"That’s right, both Will and I helped!"

"You two are just helpers, okay? Sometimes you even make things harder for me!"

The three of them began to chatter and argue.

Lin Yu chewed on her flatbread with delight while equally enjoying watching the interaction among the three young ones.

In my past life, it was like this… because of my striking appearance and my difficulty in communicating with others, I never really fit into the class.

However, after spending these years with my daughters, I have grown a little too.

"Do you want to eat barbecue?"

A cold voice suddenly spoke, catching their attention.

"Huh, barbecue?"

"That’s right."

The blonde girl, who was being watched by three gazes, slightly averted her eyes.

She activated her skill "Magic Backpack."

She took out several large pieces of leg meat from a Class D monster named mountain deer and a plate to hold them.

"Ah… it’s raw meat, fresh meat!"

"What big pieces of meat…"

"The ‘Magic Backpack’ is really convenient."

The three of them stared closely at the raw meat Lin Yu took out, swallowing hard.

"Go collect some firewood, we are going to cook the meat."

"C-can we?"

"Um, consider this a return gift."

Lin Yu pointed to the half-eaten flatbread in her hand.

"Then Mayer and I will go gather some firewood."

Will was no longer polite; he dragged Mayer away, leaving only Lin Yu and Sally behind.

Sally seemed eager to chat with the blonde girl in front of her, but she wasn’t sure if she was nervous or what to talk about, so she opened her mouth but didn’t say anything.

Lin Yu felt much the same, and while she had questions too, she decided to wait until she got to know these young people a little better before asking.

She looked around and walked over to a nearby big tree, breaking off twenty or so branches and handing them to Sally.

"Take the leaves off the branches; we will use them to skewer the meat later."

"Ah, okay, good."

Sally took the branch, while Lin Yu pondered for a moment and then retrieved a knife, some wild vegetables, and mushrooms from another space. She proceeded to cut the deer meat into appropriate sizes along with the wild vegetables and mushrooms.

The deer meat, vegetables, and mushrooms had all been cleaned and prepared beforehand.

After she finished cutting the ingredients, Sally also completed preparing the branches.

The two of them used the branches to skewer the ingredients, and just as they finished, the two boys returned with a pile of firewood.

As for how to start the fire…

"Matches… ah, found them."

Will rummaged through his bag for a while before finally pulling out a small box of matches.

But…

"They got wet with blood…"

"Ah, what should we do?"

The three young people turned their gaze to Lin Yu.

The blonde girl shook her head.

"I don’t have any matches."

She looked at Sally.

"Aren’t you able to use Fireball magic?"

The girl seemed to be skilled in Fireball magic, as they had overheard the boys and girls discussing earlier.

But it had been tested before, and the girl’s skill list showed no skills other than "Talent of Magic."

So… why does she use a Fireball?

"I… I’m not skilled yet, it will take a little more time to truly master the skill ‘Fireball’…"

"I’m afraid it will take more than just a little time, right?"

Mayer said, not very kindly.

"Earlier, you suddenly messed up, and Will and I almost got hurt because of you."

"I… I know I was wrong, but in that situation, even if I had successfully cast the Fireball, the result would still have been—"

"Alright, Sally, let’s stop talking about this."

Will interjected.

"Try your Fireball and see if you can start a fire."

"Oh…"

Sally made a funny face at Mayer, then raised her wooden magic wand and walked over to the pile of firewood.

She took a deep breath, then her expression became focused.

Magical energy gathered above the magic wand.

After a few breaths, a small Fireball formed in front of the magic wand and then smashed onto the firewood.

"It worked!"

The flames instantly ignited the pile of firewood.

"You’re quite capable."

Probably because he was about to enjoy roasted meat, Mayer also felt happy.

"Sally, you just need to be calmer, that’s why Fireball failed before."

"I understand, and once I learn the ‘Fireball’ skill, it will definitely work!"

…

Did she really succeed in casting the Fireball?

Clearly, she doesn’t have the Fireball skill on her panel…

But Sally took a bit too long to cast the Fireball, and its size and power are very weak.

Maybe only with practice, after reaching a certain level of power, can the Fireball become a real skill.

But… how did Sally learn Fireball?
