Chapter 2299: Mr. Mag Is Really a Good Man
Cherie and Eni were woken up by the aroma of food. After Gina’s treatment, their injuries had almost fully recovered and the earlier chase had depleted much of their energy, which made them very hungry now.
“Come on in. We’re just getting ready for dinner.” Mag stood by the boat and waved to the two of them who were looking over shyly.
The maidens from the Night Elves were considered one of their own.
“Come and sit over here.” Firis got the two of them to sit next to her. She gave them a glass of freshly squeezed juice and curiously asked, “Where is Lady Ashley? Do you know how to get back to her?”
“The island we departed from is called Anson Island. Lady Ashley said return to Anson Island if we got separated. There are personnel from the Night Elves stationed there,” Cherie answered.
Mag cut the roasted goat meat and gave it to the two drooling elves first as he smilingly said, “I’ll send you guys back to Anson Island after dinner.”
“Thank you.” Cherie bowed deeply to Mag.
Even though she wanted to be more polite, she was simply too hungry and the goat meat in her hands smelled too good. The two of them couldn’t care too much. They simply picked up their knife and fork and started eating.
The roast goat’s skin was slightly browned, but the meat was especially juicy. The marinade had seeped right through. Pepper was scattered over the surface, activating the scrumptiousness.
“It’s so delicious!” Cherie narrowed her eyes into slits. The sensation of blissfulness surged into her heart and purged away all the horrible emotions from the day.
…
Delicious food was indeed a good medicine. It could cure all the unhappiness.
Meanwhile, Eni beside her also had a sated expression. This was the best roast goat that she had ever eaten.
No. She should say the best food that she had ever eaten.
Although Big Sister Firis’s culinary skills were also excellent and her roast beef kebabs and roast mutton kebabs were very delicious, compared to Mr. Mag’s culinary skills, her skill level was obviously still far from his.
Mag gave Amy a goat’s leg. The little one deserved a big goat’s leg after spending so much effort to catch the goat.
Amy went to the side with the goat’s leg. She didn’t use a knife to cut it and just munched on it directly.
Her tiny teeth were just like tiny razors. She made a hole in the goat’s leg right away and munched away happily.
The goat was soon all split up and everyone got a big piece of goat meat.
Mag himself got a mutton chop that was the size of his palm. He used the “Fat Head Fish” to cut it into simple strips before grabbing it with his hands.
This goat was a young adult. It wasn’t small, but the meat was very tender and neither too fat nor too chewy. He only brushed a layer of oil during grilling and the rest of the process depended on the goat’s own fat.
What was even more interesting was, this goat fed on a kind of crabapple, so there was a hint of crabapple fragrance in its meat. Its taste was rather unique.
The sauce was rather light, so the goat meat aroma was accentuated. The chewy tendons together with the meat, filled the mouth with an aromatic grease when they chewed.
“Let’s catch a few goats to take back as souvenirs.” Mag suggested.
“Alright. I’ll go catch them later. I want to eat some more roast goat.” Amy was the first to agree.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Although the goat was cute, the roasted goat was really delicious.
The feast only ended after the moon had risen. Mag passed a basket filled with all kinds of fruits to Cherie and said, “These are all the fruits available on the nearby islands. Bring them back with you. They might be useful to your mission.”
“Thank you very much.” Cherie and Eni bowed gratefully as they accepted that big basket of fruits.
Their objective of coming to the island was to look for new fruits but they were tricked, and were almost humiliated and killed here. They didn’t expect to complete their mission by a stroke of luck.
“Let’s get on the boat. We will send you back to Anson Island before we make our way home.”
That big boat that carried Cherie and Eni here, was sunk, and Mag’s boat left the island too.
Half an hour later, the boat docked at the Anson Island’s harbor.
Cherie and Eni got off the boat with the basket of fruits and waved to Mag and the ladies when they got to the shore.
“Go back and be careful.” Mag waved his hand and drove the boat away.
Before Cherie and Eni could turn around, an anxious voice spoke up behind them. “Cherie! Eni! Why are you guys here?!”
The two elves turned around and they saw Ashley with a group of elves. Tears immediately welled up in their eyes as they chokingly said, “Lady Ashley, w-we almost couldn’t make it back…”
“What happened?” Ashley walked up and sized the two of them up. She heaved a breath of relief after she was sure that they were not injured.
“We went out this morning to look for new fruits. At the harbor…” The two of them told them how they met those four demons, got tricked into going to the island and were almost humiliated by the demons, and how Amy and the people from Mamy Restaurant arrived at that moment to defeat those demons.
Ashley and the elves were furious when they heard how the demons had tried to humiliate them. Then, they were gratified when they heard how Amy and the people from Mamy Restaurant defeated those demons and threw them into the sea to feed the fish.
“You are saying Mr. Mag and his people are also here at the Demon Islands?” Ashley asked with shock.
“Yes. They just left.” Cherie turned to look at the vast sea. The boat could still be vaguely seen.
“He gave us these fruits. They were found on that island.” Eni lifted the big fruit basket up. There were dozens of different fruits inside.
“Mr. Mag is really a good man.” Ashley looked at that fruit basket and lamented. Then, she looked at the two maidens and sternly said, “I said that you shouldn’t act on your own. Did you know you almost lost your chastity and life due to your rashness and stupidity?!”
The two of them lowered their heads in silence.
“Alright. Let’s go back first. I’ll settle the scores with you tomorrow.” Ashley removed her jacket and put it on Eni. She walked back with her arms around the small elf.
Cherie and Eni smiled at each other. They knew Lady Ashley was firm in speech but soft in heart. She treated them the best.

“Aboard, I see a silver light, I wonder if it’s frost aground. Looking up, I find the moon bright. Bowing, in homesickness I’m drowning.” Mag stood at the bow of the boat and recited this poem when he saw the bright moon over the sea.

Elizabeth suddenly appeared next to him and asked, “Did you write this poem?”
“No. A poet from my homeland did.” Mag shook his head with a smile. Of course, he had changed a few words to make it suit his current environment.
“Where is your homeland?” Elizabeth asked again.
“It’s somewhere very far away.” Mag looked into the distance. “It’s a place that our sight can’t reach.”
