Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

-----

We placed the potatoes in the oven, and with cooking magic, we enhanced the speed in which they were cooked, making them in just about ten minutes, despite how it would take much longer than that for a raw potato to become fully boiled without water inside an oven while being covered by aluminum foil.

I also decided to put some fish with the same technique, adding tomatoes, mushrooms, and some spices and salt on top, while putting them over the grill with aluminum foil as well, this way they would be boiled inside and would end up with all the concentrated juices.

"Elayneeeee!"

"Huh?"

However, as I watched everything being done, I heard someone's voice, I walked out into the garden and rushed to the door, finding out there was someone there.

"Oh! Rita!"

It was my friend Rita, who had arrived carrying a bag with stuff, probably a lot of liquor. At her side was Lily too and… Jenny! Oh she finally came.

"Lily and Jenny too! Welcome back."

I quickly opened the door, letting them inside, as I noticed a cute orange cat lurking inside, being chased by a black cat.

Then, the orange cat quickly turned into a handsome, slightly muscular young man wearing nothing but a few leather clothes over his body, and necklaces made of bones and fangs.

"Hm? Oh, Rudras! Hello to you too."

"Goddess Elayne, I'm sorry for coming out of nowhere, your black cat was chasing me around and wouldn't leave me alone!"

"Mereow!"

Blackie was disappointed when Rudras returned to his human form, Lily, Rita, and Jenny laughed a bit though, despite all.

"Hahah, seriously you're scared of a cat dude?" Jenny teased him, although she eyed his entire body and bit her lips a bit…

"Hello Rudras! You're looking as handsome as ever today!" Lily smiled.

"E-Eh? Ah, thank you…" Rudras was shocked when he was complimented, feeling a bit awkward.

"Where's your grandma and your sister?" I wondered.

"They should be around the block. We were scouting the area, and also looking for anything supernatural," said Rudras. "I came back to tell you we found a few Urban Spirits, perhaps you might want to talk with them? they seemed interested in meeting you, Goddess Elayne."

"U-Urban Spirits? Wait, what are those?" I wondered, I genuinely had no idea what that was.

"Hm?" Rudras scratched his head and sat on the grass. "You don't know what Urban Spirits are, Lady Elayne?"

"No…" I said. "Ah, should I?"

"Well, it's something most people know about…" Rudras said.

"Looks like we came just in the middle of an important conversation…" Rita said. "Anyway, friend, we came to celebrate our victory yesterday. And it smells delicious! What in the world are you making?"

"We're making a huge barbeque! I also made Jurassic Burgers and Steamed Potatoes with cheese!" I smiled. "Rudras! We can talk while we have lunch, how about it?"

"Ah sure, I was quite hungry myself, thank you Goddess Elayne, I appreciate your kindness with all my heart," Rudras bowed his head.

"T-There's no need to bow your head, come on…" I sighed, feeling embarrassed. "Come on, call your granny Jannis and your sister Judith already! It's almost all done."

"Oh! Alright then! I'll come back with them!" Rudras nodded, turning into an eagle and flying away.

"Wow~ Druids are always amazing to see, huh?" Lily said, looking with a smile at the bird flying away. "I wonder how they're in bed though, hehe~"

"W-Why are you thinking that?!" I asked angrily. "Lily! Are you a bit drunk?"

"Hmm? Ah well I had a few little cups with Rita here, we talked about stuff~" Lily giggled, looking slightly dizzy.

"Damn cougar this woman is, whenever she sees a young man she's already eyeing him…" Sighed Jenny, seemingly a bit jealous. "But yeah Rudras is… quite the stud. Not going to lie, the whole wild vibe he got going, it's… hot. I-I mean in a general way; I am not saying I like him or something."

"Come on Jenny, don't be like that, you've got your own wonderful charms!" I said with a smile. "Right Rita?"

"Yeah you're young too! I wish I was your age again, dammit!" Rita complained. "What? Having problems in paradise or something?"

"I-I didn't say anything…" Jenny looked elsewhere, although I could clearly tell she might be having troubles finding a boyfriend, maybe.

If she likes Rudras… Huh, maybe we could do something? It all depends on the two of them though.

"You like Rudras or what?" Rita asked her directly.

She literally stole the words I was thinking!

"E-Eh?! I-I don't! He's… a wild young man, and I am a humble city girl! We're worlds apart!" Jenny cried while blushing.

"Aw, that just sounds like the plot of a romance drama!" I laughed. "Come on, let's talk about it while we prepare lunch then!"

We walked back to the kitchen where Monica was placing the potatoes on top of the table, they were about a dozen, all of them were ready to eat.

The fish was also naturally ready I believe, and the meat might be about to get done, the burgers are probably done too.

"Ah hello ladies, welcome," Mark greeted the girls with a charming smile, as Rita placed the wine she bought over the table.

"One two… four… five bottles?! Rita do you want us to get drunk?" I asked her.

"Hahaha! Don't overreact that much, we've grown super strong right? So just a single bottle doesn't do it anymore, to feel it right we have to drink a lot more unfortunately," Rita said, as if she was somehow lamenting that.

"Master!"

"The food is ready."

"Meat and burgers, done."

Gordon appeared behind me, phasing through the house walls like a ghost.

"Oh! Nice! Then let's quickly serve our food! Can you help?"

"Of course."

With him, the cooking spirits, and everyone's help, we set up two big tables in the garden, several chairs, and more, and prepared a huge feast.

Just in time, as I saw an eagle, a crow, and a small songbird descending from the skies and quickly transforming into three druids.

"Welcome back everyone! Please sit down to- Huh?"

Ad I noticed a fourth "person" with them.

Some sort of… Spirit.

Wait, is that an Urban Spirit?
