[Host is finally using the pot!]
[(◕‿◕✿)]
[This system has been waiting for this moment]
Tera chuckled. ’I am sure you wish you could get a taste at the end of it.’
[No, thank you]
[Your actual cooking skills leave much to be desired]
[(𐙚˚ ^ ˚₊ა)]
Tera’s mouth fell open, but she was quickly distracted by the clan members who were bringing up the ingredients she had asked them to prepare earlier.
Small piles of shredded and ground herbs were arranged on a broad leaf, a basket held freshly peeled, washed and cut tubers, and a monstrous amount of shredded and torn meat chunks had been placed on a large silk leaf.
Now, with everything in place, she clapped her hands together.
"Alright! Let’s make soup!"
The clan members had never heard the word ’soup’ before, but they cheered anyway.
The wolves, despite being the most clueless of everyone else, also started to buzz with excitement. Faelynn stood up and waddled closer towards them, her curiosity greater than her fear of the flames.
Despite pouring water into the pot like Tera had instructed them to, some of them still bombarded her with questions.
"We are putting water in this thing over the fire?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"It is for the soup."
"Oh..." they answered even though they truly didn’t understand a thing.
[Host should perhaps disclose that she has never actually made soup before]
[(·•᷄_•᷅ )]
’What?! Why does that even matter?’
[This system is merely noting that Host is about to attempt her first-ever soup in front of over a hundred beasts who believe she is an expert]
[(ᵕ—ᴗ—)]
’That is exactly why YOU are going to guide me through every single step!’
[Oh?]
[NOW Host values this system’s expertise?]
[(¬‿¬)]
’I have always valued your expertise! I just don’t value your attitude!’
[This system will accept that]
[Step 1: Wait for the water to boil]
[Host will see small bubbles forming rapidly across the surface]
’Are you freaking kidding me?!’
Tera wanted to berate the system even further until she noticed it laughing.
Just because she didn’t know how to cook didn’t mean she was clueless when it came to boiling water!
’Omg! Get a life—’
Tera jumped and pointed. "What are you doing? The meat is burning!"
All the beasts had been so enamoured and curious about what Tera was about to do that they had momentarily forgotten about the meat they were roasting.
And a lot of them were indeed starting to burn.
[This system cannot believe Host was actually waiting for the water to boil before adding meat]
["( – ⌓ – )]
[This system really does have to dictate every single step Host makes so the food doesn’t turn into a nuclear disaster]
’OMG...’
Tera stood still, realisation dawning on her.
She wanted the ground to swallow her up now.
’Damn you!’
Tera started adding the meat piece by piece with the help of the nearby beasts, and the pot quickly filled with chunks of flesh bobbing in the warming water.
Then she added the herbs at the system’s suggestion.
[Good]
[Now the tubers]
’The fuck?! These ARE small already!’

’What the fuck? I couldn’t have been that bad of a cook...’
’Oh, fuck no!’
