Chapter 103

Kaiden brought out a portable stove and placed the bubbling pot with the unique broth onto it. He was very happy with how the stream was going. They took a big gamble this time around due to the price of food being much higher than their expected financial returns, but a rich dude decided to help them out. The viewer donated 15 Chronos, which was already more than the cost of today's stream.

Naturally, they would've been fine even if the stream ended up in the deep red. The four of them wanted to diversify their content no matter what, and this seemed to be the right move. The goal was to grow and have fun with the process, even if it meant taking some risks. None of them believed that they could achieve what they wanted without taking risks.

Furthermore, all of them were very curious to learn how monsters tasted. Kaiden wanted to feed his lovers with a healthy, unique meal, so he was hitting multiple birds with a single stone.

"So… This Master Chef might not have had enough money to buy dungeon ingredients for the side dishes… As a result, we'll be having normal greens and mushrooms from good old reliable Earth," Kaiden said with a bit of embarrassment as he sat down at the table. The simmering hot pot was surrounded by numerous plates of raw food that they would cook now.

"It's totally fine, Kai! I'm so happy just looking at all this food! I never saw so much on a table at once!" Aria decreed as she plopped down next to Kai. Kaiden winced at her words for a single moment because it once again displayed how poor of a household she came from.

"I wonder how the different meats will taste!" Nyx shouted enthusiastically as she grabbed her chopsticks and placed numerous types of food onto her plate, one after the other.

"Here are some dipping sauces," Kaiden stated after he came back from his little trip to the fridge. He forgot the sauces in there. One was a citrus herb oil mix, another was a peanut dipping sauce, and the last one was a soy-sesame mixture.

- Kaiden's Wife: Hehe! Kai, would a pro chef really use premade sauces for his meal?

"Hey, aren't you my wife? Wives should be the supportive pillars their husbands can rely on during times of hardships, not their biggest critics."

- Kaiden's Wife: !!!

- Kaiden's Wife: Kyaaa!!!

- Kaiden's Wife: He-he-he called me his wife…!!!

- Kaiden's Wife: You're right! I'll fight the whole world for you, Kai!

- Princeless Princess: Stop spamming! Especially such nonsense at that; he was obviously joking.

- Lady Leia: Yeah, shut your trap, you delusional b*tch.

- Kaiden's Wife: Jealousy is an ugly trait. Hmph!

Kaiden shook his head amusedly while he read the catfight going on in his chat. The ladies were all having their amicable chat in Nyx's stream, but since the two were joined under Valhalla's Sinners, he could merge the chats into one.

Kaiden gestured for the girls to start digging in.

"I gotta start with the warthog. It's my first kill, after all," Kaiden said while he eagerly started fishing for a boar slice in the pot. Once he got it, he dipped it in citrus sauce and took a bite. He couldn't help but stare at his empty chopsticks where the meat slice had been with a dumbfounded expression. "Holy hell, this is so good! Madame Spice is a certified genius."

"Mmm!!" Aria squealed excitedly. Her mouth was full, and she was a good girl who wouldn't part her lips when food was in her mouth, so her joyous sounds were muffled, but her expression told Kaiden all he needed to know.

"I never tried eel before, but I'm sure none from Earth can compare to this one…" Luna whispered as she hungrily dove in for another eel slice.

"Hey, leave some of that for Kai. I heard eels help men down there. He'll need it for later today," Nyx stated with a coy purr.

"Watch your mouth, woman. You're insulting me right now."

"Kya! I'm so sorry, master!" Nyx giggled as she raised her two hands in surrender, but her stomach grumbled immediately, so she stopped playing and went for a rabbit slice. Once it reached her tantalizing lips, she had a pure, orgasmic face before she squealed in joy just like Aria did.

A sudden notification brought Kaiden out of his merry staring at his overly expressive girlfriends.

Madame Spice donated 20 Chronos.

- Madame Spice: My daughter told me that her husbando—whatever that means—was streaming monster cooking while using my recipe book, so I came to check you out. I did it out of pure boredom, but I'm so glad I did. You made about 500 mistakes in this single, simple recipe, and that's honestly admirable, but my mother always told me that the taste of food is secondary to the company we eat it in. When I was poor, I ate bread with nothing but butter, but I ate it in the presence of my beloved family, feeling blessed instead of miserable as a result. You've reminded me of that paramount fact. I was in a bit of a slump when it came to creating recipes for my new book, but you helped me get over it, so take these Chronos as my gratitude. You four are a lovely bunch. Please use this money to treat yourselves to something nice, and maybe invest a little for future streams, too.

PS: My daughter is a weird girl who named herself your wife. Please forgive her rude and, quite honestly, creepy antics; she is a real sweetheart if you get to know her properly.

- Kaiden's Wife: Mom! Stop doxxing me!!!

- Madame Spice: Dear, I have no clue what that means. By the way, I'm going for a drink with the girls. Have some leftovers from the fridge if you're hungry. Be good, all of you kids, and thanks for the heartwarming stream.

Madame Spice left the chat.
