I cut a slice of the beef I made before placing it into my mouth and chewing it.

Even though it tasted good...

I turned towards the current predicament in front of me right now.

"Do you really think I can accept something like that?"

"You’re acting as though we force her to cook for us, we’ve never done such a thing!"

I don’t know why but... Halfway through eating, Vieretha found out from my girls that I basically cook for them everyday and the fact that they get to eat my cooking all the time made her especially angry...

Thus, it became a shouting match between her and all my girls right now.

I have to say though, Vieretha’s surprisingly winning the ’match’ right now...

"Lies!! For her to make such wonderful creations... There’s no way she doesn’t have to expend a lot of energy and skill just to make all of this!!"

"Ughh... She does! That’s why we help her with her preparation and cleanup afterwards!! We are always thankful for her cooking!!"

"You call this being thankful?! All I see is all of you being--"

I cleared my throat, "Ahem... I made all this food to be eaten while they are fresh and hot. All of you not eating it after I went through all the effort to make them and then letting them go cold is really hurting me, you know?"

A collective gasp came from all of them and they immediately dove into the food and started eating it like their lives depended on it.

Well... At least that only happened for the first few bites before they went back to melting into puddles of bliss.

Also, the chef had melted into a puddle of bliss earlier and she is surrounded by piles of empty plates around her while she’s knocked out in bliss in the corner of the room.

I concentrated on my own food instead, enjoying the steak I made for myself.

Mmmm~ This is good~ As expected of premium quality ingredients~

I was taking my time to eat it so it was no surprise that the girls finished eating their food before me.

As for me... I still have a few plates left to go so I was still taking my time to enjoy my food.

The girls all leaned back in their chairs and patted their bellies in contentment.

"Ahhh~ Tera’s food is the best as usual~"

"It’s soooo good..."

"I love her~"

"Mmmm~ If only she used her honey in this too~ That would have been perfect~"

"What do you mean by using her honey?"

"Ahhhh~ Tera cums honey~ So she sometimes uses it as an ingredient in her cooking as a treat for us~ It always tastes so much better when she does that~"

The room’s temperature fell once again and I simply ignored it and just continued munching on the food in front of me.

"What... Did you say?"

Amber, still oblivious to the fact that Vieretha was pissed, simply repeated herself.

"Tera cums really, really delicious honey so sometimes we get her to use it as an ingredient in her cooking~ The extraction process is the fun part though~"

Hmm... It’s definitely getting colder... But at least it’s more like the emotional atmosphere getting colder and not the actual physical temperature getting colder so I don’t need to worry about the food being affected. Om nom nom~

Vieretha leapt back to her feet and glared at my girls, "I knew it! Not only do you all make her work like that, you also treat her like some kind of livestock to extract stuff from her for your own wants!! All of you don’t deserve Tera!!"

I munched on another piece of steak while peeking at my girls, wondering how they were going to deal with Vieretha.

Unexpectedly, they didn’t say anything back to her and just continued laying back in their chairs.

Amber turned to me, "Mmm... Tera? Oh, you’re still eating... Mmm... In that case, do you mind if we had a talk with this woman here for a moment? Somewhere private?"

I raised an eyebrow, "Why are you asking me? Shouldn’t you be asking her instead?"

"She’s your personal assistant after all~"

Almost instantly, the cold atmosphere around the room suddenly dissipated and a very proud looking Vieretha could be seen thrusting her chest out and looking smug.

She really likes that new position of hers huh? I’m just glad that this time, she made her bodyguards stand outside instead of staying inside with us.

Oh, I did make their share of food of course. I’ve already passed them an entire large trolley of food for them to share outside the room earlier so I think they might be in a similar state as the chef right now.

Which I suppose in hindsight wasn’t really a good idea since that meant I just incapacitated her entire bodyguard detail...

Eh... I guess even if something were to happen, my girls and I should be able to handle it if we were serious.

And even if it’s revealed we were Psionics... I guess we can just get Vieretha to use her influence to cover it up or something.

My eyes were drawn to her large chest bouncing from that movement for a moment before I nodded, "Go ahead."

Amber then beckoned for Vieretha to follow her and the rest of my girls went out of the room with her, including Renata.

It felt a little lonely since the only other person in the room was currently unconscious in the corner and I was just eating my own food by myself.

"Daddy~" Renata spoke from my chest, forming a blob to bounce out and reformed itself into a copy of her.

She settled herself into my lap, my eldritch maid dressed in her maid swimsuit outfit.

I let her cuddle herself against me, "So what is it? Do you want more of my cooking or something?"

"Mouuuu~ You make me sound like a glutton, Daddy..."

I lifted a piece of steak with my fork, "Do you want it or not?"

"Yes please! Om~"

She chewed on the steak before swallowing, "Actually, I just wanted to ask if Daddy wants to eavesdrop on them!"

I raised an eyebrow, "That’s a little rude, don’t you think?"

"Ehehehe~ So does Daddy want to or not?"

"Of course."

She reached her hand up towards her face and... Plucked her eyeball out from its socket before placing it on the table.

The only thing was that another eye replaced the eye she just plucked out almost instantly and I’m pretty sure this was completely unnecessary...

"Have you been watching weird movies again? Like those horror movies or something?" I asked.

"Oh look! It’s starting, Daddy!" She pointed, completely ignoring my question.

A screen projected out from the eye on the table to show Amber pushing Vieretha against the wall.

I thought that she was trying to strangle her or something until I saw the jar of honey in her other hand and realised that she had a spoon in the hand that was shoved towards Vieretha’s mouth.

Amber then pulled out the spoon from Vieretha’s mouth, the Dragonling visibly shivering while her tongue rolled out of her mouth, looking like she had just orgasmed or something.

Amber lifted the spoon and gave it a suck as well, licking off the remnants of the honey that was still left on the spoon before she scoffed at the Dragonling.

"Please. We know full well we don’t deserve Tera. No one does, not even you. Get that into that head of yours. Everyone here is in love with Tera and lives for her. So if you want to join us, you should know your place."

Vieretha shuddered before scowling at Amber, "Tsk... Acting all high like that... Just because you met Tera first."

"Oh? You have a problem with that? We are going by order after all~"

"If I was the one to meet Tera first... Our positions would be reversed."

"I can assure you that it wouldn’t. This is your rightful place so deal with it. We’re already welcoming you as one of us, aren’t we?"

"You... What is Tera to all of you?"

Amber suddenly smiled, but not in the same way that I remember that she would smile.

"Oh? Seems like you have forgotten... Let me just remind you a little~"

Amber stepped towards her and suddenly the feed cut off.

I turned to look at Renata questioningly, only to see the eldritch maid had fallen asleep in my embrace, her head resting in the crook of my shoulder.

Hmm... I guess after eating all that food, she got sleepy and then fell asleep after getting comfortable on top of me.

Oh well... I trust my girls to be able to deal with her better than I can anyway so I’ll just leave things to them.

Anyway... I still haven’t finished eating yet so just let me finish this...

Hmm? I’m getting a message on my Codex...

I tapped on it to realise it was a message from Yuki.

Ah... She probably wants to know why I was suddenly the owner of Kaito Business Holdings...

Speaking of which... I should change the name of that company...
