Chapter 72 Motherly Urge
Shaman and Elysia were relieved to hear that they were going to get a break and wondered what Himeko planned to do.
"I will cook you guys something to eat." Himeko stood up and reached her hands out to help Shaman and Elysia up. They took her hand and Wolfy stood close as Himeko used her fire to travel back to the tower.
They appeared back in their room and Himeko let go of their hands.
"Go change into something more comfortable and come to the floor below once you are ready, also does Wolfy eat anything special or will some meat do?" Himeko looked at Wolfy and at the mention of meat Wolfy's tail began to wag and looked at Himeko with happiness.
"Yeah, meat is fine." Shaman could see the excitement in Wolfy's eyes.
Himeko then vanished in her flames to the lower floor and began to cook a meal for the girls.
Shaman and Elysia quickly pulled out some casual clothes from their inventory and began to get changed. Wolfy upon hearing the word meat was waiting patiently at the door for Shaman and Elysia.
Shaman changed into a baggy black top and black short shorts while Elysia wore a pink top and a black skirt and the top was a little too small and showed off her curves. Shaman pouted a little and looked away as she was rather jealous of her figure.
'At Least she belongs to me and I can enjoy it.' Shaman was trying to be optimistic but since she was stuck in thought Elysia had snuck up on her. Elysia hugged Shaman from behind pushing her breasts against her back.
Elysia had a smug look and poked Shaman's cheek, Shaman tried to avoid Elysia but did not want to get out of Elysia's hug as it felt nice.
"Hehe~ somebody is jealous of someone else's body." Elysia pushed herself harder against Shaman's back and kept poking Shaman's cheek.
"At least it belongs to me and is only for me." Shaman's face was turning bright red from Elysia's teasing.
"Fuhuhuhu~ and what are you going to do to this possession of yours." Elysia then licked Shaman's fox ear causing shivers to go down her spine and start to put her in the mood.
"NO!." Shaman finally pushed Elysia away as Himeko was expecting them and it was not the time to get down and dirty. Elysia had been pushed back on the bed and quickly sat up and stared at Shaman.
"Awww." Elysia looked sad but then suddenly a ball of fire appeared above Elysia.
Elysia did not notice it but Shaman saw what was happening and did not warn her. Eventually a pan coming out of the fire fell ontop of Elysia bonking her on the head. Elysia fell back on the bed and Shaman went to the pan to see if it had a message on it.
Shaman picked up the pan and could see a fire message on it.
"Stop being horny and get your ass down here." Shaman read out the message and Elysia who was on the bed was now bright red as everything she said was most likely heard by Himeko.
"Heh it seems like the tables have turned." Shaman was now the one with a smug look.
"Let's hurry up and go downstairs and see Himeko." Shaman dropped the pan and grabbed Elysia by the leg and pulled her off the bed.
"OW!" Elysia fell on the floor and sat up.
"How did I end up being the one bullied?" Elysia tried to tease Shaman but it ended up backfiring and her getting a pan to the head. Shaman just stuck her tongue out and walked towards the door.
Elysia pulled herself up and slowly made her way down.
They arrived at the lower floor and opened the door, Wolfy's tail was still wagging as he was able to pick up the smell of meat within the room.
They walked in and were met with a dining area that had a table that could hold at least 6 people. Behind the dining area a kitchen could be seen taking up at least half of the room and Himeko inside it cooking. She wore a White apron and What seemed like black nightwear but was unable to make out what it was due to the apron. There was a clear split with the dining area being wooden and the kitchen having tiles.
Shaman and Elysia went to the table and sat down on one side together while they waited for Himeko to finish up. Wolfy laid down next to Shaman on the floor but his wagging tail gave away his excitement as he tried to hide it.
"Hey girls, I hope I did not interrupt anything, the food will be ready in a few minutes." Himeko yelled out from the kitchen and Elysia once again became red as it just confirmed she was able to hear anything.
"Heh." Shaman elbowed Elysia in the arm as now she has to deal with the awkwardness.
'Hey Rea are you there?' Shaman was wondering why they have not heard from Rea in a while and assumed it was most likely because she almost said something she shouldn't.
[I am here but I am unable to speak for a while]
The familiar text box came up and Shaman instantly understood that Rea's ability to speak had been revoked as punishment for what she said.
'Oh okay, well I hope you can talk soon.' Shaman quite enjoyed Rea's company as it felt like a 4th companion to her.
[Don't worry, I will be able to speak again you just have to wait for a little while]
Shaman nodded and Elysia also read the same message boxes and got a jist of what they were talking about.
However their talk was cut short as Himeko used her fire to carry the plates of food and place them in front of the girls and Wolfy.
Wolfy instantly started eating while Shaman and Elysia waited for Himeko to come out of the kitchen.
Himeko finally walked out and Shaman was able to get a good look on what Himeko was wearing as she no longer had the apron on. Himeko wore a black dress which was rather short and started to become transparent at the ends. Shaman could also slightly see Himeko's underwear due to the transparency but as soon as she noticed she stopped looking as it was rather embarrassing. Shaman also could see Himeko's large chest and was disappointed again as it was a constant reminder of what she doesn't have.
'Well at least I won't get back problems and the more I look at myself the more grateful I am so maybe I should just accept what I got.' Shaman was finding inner peace with her own body while Elysia did not pay attention as she was too busy appraising the food to see if it was up to standard.
Himeko finally sat down with her food and looked at Shaman who was looking at her own body and Elysia who was examining every inch of the food.
"Let's eat." Himeko found it rather amusing but the food would go cold if she let it continue.
They were given miso steak that had been cut up in bite sized pieces with a bowl of rice, there was also some tempura on the side.
Shaman snapped out of it and picked up the chopsticks and began to eat. To her surprise the food was really good but was not as good as Elysia's cooking.
'This is very enjoyable but I have to say Elysia wins in the cooking department.' Shaman once again felt proud that she had Elysia for a girlfriend and was glad that her habit of getting easily attached did not ruin it.
'Also despite the Chinese aesthetic I thought we would get Chinese related food but instead we got Japanese, I guess when you are in a new world anything can happen.' Despite the clashing cultures Shaman shrugged it off as this is a different world and not hers so she can expect it all to be the same.
Elysia looked at Shaman's face and could tell that the cooking was good but knew what Shaman's blissful smile was and that she was the superior cook. Elysia then finally picked up the chopsticks but when she did she had no idea how to use them.
"Uhhh how do I use these." Elysia was rather confused and tried to mimic Shaman but was unable to get it right.
"Oh? Here, just use these." Himeko clicked her fingers and a Knife and fork appeared next to Elysia's plate.
"Thanks!" Elysia was glad she did not have to embarrass herself more.
They all ate the food and happily ate but once they had finished Himeko spoke up as she wanted to talk to them for a little bit.
"So would you like to tell me how you two met since it must have been quite the long journey for you to end up dating." Himeko was rather curious how they got together since same sex relationships were rather uncommon and her motherly urge to find out every detail was bugging her to find out.
"Well if I think about it, it really has not been that long so you may be quite surprised." Shaman thought back and it had hardly been a month, yet so much has happened.
'If Elysia did not save my life and not for me being so easily attached I don't think we would have ended up dating.' Shaman thought internally as the stars really aligned for her and Elysia and without Shaman's bad habit and Elysia's longing for love their relationship may have taken much longer to develop.
"I don't care how long or short it was, just tell me." Himeko was even more curious as now she wondered how long they had been together as it sounded really short but yet they seemed like they had been lovers for ages.
'I have to find out if anything is suspicious otherwise I will have failed Cecilia as a replacement mother.' Himeko needed to know as it seemed like something inside her switched on.
