Chapter 462: A Relaxing Morning

-----
[Day 190]
It was day 190 already and I felt as refreshed as a carrot- I mean, a lettuce, I think. That's the saying, right? Anyways, I woke up to find my cute Benladann with me.
Yesterday was a big raid into one of the Dungeons, we slaughtered countless delicious spiders that taste rather godly when boiled, and then I fought a powerful Boss Battle with the Spider Queen, who was so strong she forced me to go all out.
At the end, instead of getting the satisfaction of killing and eating such a powerful adversary, I got the other satisfactory feeling of taming this powerful being, even if it went against my own will as I really wanted to kill and boil those meaty legs.
But now that I put it like this, didn't I get like… a factory of these spiders now? They grow fast and all, I could tell Kumo to lay a few eggs and make these spiders into the new cattle animal to deal with hunger, it also produces good silk that can make strong magic and physical damage resistant fabric.
The legs of the spiders when boiled become an amazing meal although I don't know if the rest of their bodies are as tasty. Telling her to lay a bunch of eggs and then making these spiders into cattle until they grow big and meaty to slay and eat would be a nice idea to also cure the hunger of this sect.
In fact I could heal the hunger of the entire world! Just lay a bunch of eggs, Kumo-chan!
And I hope they obey us after they hatch…
Oh well, she seems to have authority over them, as if she's able to mind control them.
So I guess she can control them and we are more than dandy, dandier.
And well, I found Benladann sleeping with the cute Shiro around her. Shiro is the cute half-spirit and half lunar dragon snake-like pet that Benladann got for herself now. It is quite overprotective of her, which is annoying because I sometimes want to get closer and Shiro seemingly look at me angered.
Damn snake, get off my wife! I am going to cuddle with her and there's nothing you can do!
I tried to reach Benladann and hug her from behind, but Shiro hissed at me back.
"Haha, you can only hiss me, you don't even have teeth yet, little dragon." I laughed.
"Gyyeh!"
It suddenly and angrily hit me in the face with the tip of its tail, using it as a whip.
SLAP!
"Ugh?! Y-You bastard! I am going to make you intro grilled snake! I don't care if you're cute, that's being a damn insolent to your new father!" I said, as I grabbed the snake.
"Gryrgyegyrgy…"
It began to cry pitifully, and then I felt bad, I stopped grabbing it and healed it back.
"Agh, okay just don't get like that." I sighed, petting Shiro.
"Giiigyeeh…" it sighed in relief; I was about to kill it without realizing it…
I swear it was like that and not the other way around it! I would never try to kill it otherwise…
Ugh, let's forget this incident, Benladann woke up right after this, and found me and Shiro making peace.
"Huh?" she asked.
"We had a little conflict, nothing too big, I swear I didn't strangled it." I said.
"You clearly did if you just said it! How could you?! Poor thing…" sighed Benladann, hugging Shiro.
"Giiii…." Shiro groaned painfully as if making itself the victim once more.
You bastard! Are you going against me once more?
Anyways, no point in caring anymore than that. I decided to move on and show Benladann the delicious legs of the spiders for this morning breakfast.
"Benladann I am going to make you a nice breakfast! Wait here!" I said.
"O-Okay!" she said while sitting patiently, she began to chat with Miranda and the ghosts after that.
I rushed towards the kitchen, as I found Kumo in the corridor walking around, the people looked at her fearfully, but she noticed me straight away and rushed towards me.
"Gyssshiiii!"
It jumped over me and licked me with her long tongue.
"W-What's wrong with you?!" I asked.
"Gishi! Gishiii!"
Kumo ended sleeping in another room with the other tamed beasts, but she seemed to have missed me and began wandering the temple looking for me. She didn't do anything to the people though, but she scared them all.
"Okay calm down, you big dummy." I sighed, as I petted her head and she seemingly got even happier, licking my face with her big tongue.
"Gishiiii!" she said adorably. She was really someone hard to not love with such a cute demeanor, truly.
She ended walking behind me as I reached the kitchen, the chefs there looked at me with surprise and bowed their heads.
"D-Drake-sama!"
"What are you doing here?"
"You need food? We were just preparing today's dishes!"
"Yes, I am pretty good at cooking too, you guys, so I am borrowing your kitchen for a bit, well, a part of it. I got a lot of these want some for yourselves?" I asked, taking out a sack from my inventory filled with spider legs.
"Ooh… T-These spider legs have been well preserved in ice…"
"Wait, are these really edible?"
"They look so, the meat inside is transparent, like shrimp."
"Indeed!"
"Yeah, I will cook a few of them for me and my lover, you can cook the rest to share with everyone else. Now, let's get to work." I said.
"Alright!"
I decided to make Spider Leg Tempura the same way you make Shrimp Tempura, covering the meat extracted out of the legs with batter and then deep-frying it. Alongside that, we also made soup, boiled a few others alone, and also made another into croquettes.
At the end, there were many dishes, accompanied with puffy white rice and other things, I rushed back to Benladann, as she saw the massive table, I brought with myself filled with food over the floor.
"Wow! Looks yummy!"
