A Degenerate's Tale

Chapter 100 Cooking With Lily



Earl found his teacher reading a book under a tree when he returned.

She looked like a divine being out of a painting. Her blonde hair was perfect with her gold ornaments. Her white dress gave the final touch of purity.

Her long ears twitched at the sound of his footsteps.

"Hm? Back already?" She let out a sound of pleasant surprise.

He let out a toothy grin and showed her a basket of freshly picked fruits.

"Here it is."

"Let me see." She closed her book and took the basket out of his hand. "Indeed, these are all ripened fruits."

After inspecting the fruits, she smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to finish so early so I don't have anything else planned for the day. Why don't you go home early today?"

Earl showed her a disappointed face. "But I still want to learn more today..."

"So eager to learn!" Saryll chuckled, finding him to be very cute. "Very well, but it's just going to be more theories and concepts, alright?"

Hours later...

"I'm home!" Earl sounded while entering the castle.

A few seconds later, Lily peaked her head out from the kitchen door. He could see that her horns were practically half the size of her head when only her head was visible like this.

"Welcome back, Master! Lily is cooking dinner right now."

"Oh, Lily. I have a few Elven Fruits for you to try." Earl showed her his basket of fruits.

"Really!?" Her bi-coloured eyes sparkled. She was adorable as usual.

"Where is everyone else, by the way?"

"Madam is with the Princess in the study and Sis is running some errands for her outside." She answered cheerfully while taking the basket out of his hand and Earl followed her into the kitchen.

"Eh? Why are you here in the kitchen, Master?"

Earl grinned and hugged Lily from behind. "To do this to Lily, of course!"

"Ah..." She let out a voice of realization as her face slowly turned red. "At least let Lily put this basket down first... Master..."

"Just kidding˜." Earl suddenly released Lily. "I'll help you cook, Lily."

"Master!" Lily softly bumped into Earl with her shoulder while blushing.

"Hahaha."

While Earl was laughing in the background, Lily placed the basket of fruits on the kitchen table. "Master knows how to cook?"

"Nope! So Lily has to teach me!"

"Okay! Lily will teach Master!" She pumped her fist in the air, causing her frilly dress to go everywhere.

"But before that, shall we enjoy these fruits together?"

"Okay, Lily will wash them first. Hm? How come they all look different, Master?"

"Fruits grown from the Elven Trees are never the same."

"That sounds complicated, Master."

Earl nodded his head in understanding while rubbing Lily's head. He then took a seat to watch Lily expertly cut the fruits with a knife. There was a different charm in watching his little demon girl work diligently in her maid uniform.

In no time, the fruits were plated beautifully. Lily carved them into all sorts of shapes and forms, making them look very appetizing.

"Tada!" Lily sounded off while placing the plate on the table and taking a seat next to Earl. "Let's enjoy these now, Master."

Earl picked up a piece with his fork. This one was sculpted into a flower. He brought it to Lily's lips to her unexpected surprise.

Nom!

She took a bite of it without complaints. Her eyes narrowed into crescents as she enjoyed the exotic Elven Fruit.

"So good!" She said excitedly as she picked up a piece with her fork and brought it to Earl's lips.

He took a bite and thoroughly enjoyed the fruit. It was a taste that one could never be tired of.

They took turn feeding each other until the plate was completely cleared.

"Hehe." Lily giggled to herself when they were done.

"Hm?" Earl tilted his head questioningly.

"Lily just thought about how nice this was. Lily can't recall the last time she was alone with Master. Spending time with Sis is nice, but this is nice too."

"Ah. The same goes for me. I like spending time alone with Lily too." He said and gave her a peck on the lips.

Lily touched her lips and then bent over to kiss her master again. "Sweet, right?"

"If you act like this, I'm going to want to do naughty things to you." Earl teased.

"You can't do that, Master!" She pouted. "We have to cook now!"

"Alright, alright. What were you cooking before I came?"

"Lily was just preparing ingredients for a stew." She pointed to a corner in the kitchen. "See? There are mushrooms, tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, and monster rabbit meat."

"That sounds good. Should we try adding some of these fruits in for a more unique taste?"

The little demon girl thought about it for a second. "Lily doesn't know how it will turn out, but we can try."

"Okay. Lily has to tell me what to do now."

"Master can do the easy stuff. Can you fill the pot with water for Lily?"

"There is salt over there, Master."

"No, Master silly! You need to add more salt!"

"Should we add some pepper?"

"Master, we need more salt."

"Now we add in the fruits. Lily doesn't like the colour of this one, bring the yellow ones."

"What, you don't like carrots? You need to eat your vegetables, Master."

One hour later, the stew was finally finished. The master and servant pair opened the lid of the pot with anticipation.

"It's time to taste test, Master. Lily will try it first." Lily said seriously while scooping up a small portion of the soup.

"Master, it's too sour."
