Hero Of Harmony

Allocating about half of my available status points into my stats; I saved the rest for later once my body got accustomed to my new strength before leaving the room and turning the light off as I walked downstairs, only to see both Yuki and Talis lazily lying on the couch.

‘I could understand Talis being tired; she probably spent most of today flying around, yet what did Yuki do to be this lazy?’ Mused Alexander, with a shake of his head, stood still and gazed at the two before sighing to himself and heading to the kitchen.

Grabbing my pouch, I wore my one and only apron, though just when I was about to start cooking, I remembered I still hadn’t stored any of the food, and it was still sitting, or floating, in my space pouch.

“Yuki, can you- you know what, never mind. I have a feeling you’ll just make things more difficult.” Remarked Alexander as he reached into his pouch, retrieving the sacks of spices, herbs, vegetables, fruits, meat, and other ingredients.

“Eh, okay.” Said Yuki in slight confusion before shrugging her shoulders and dismissively waving her arm above the couch.

Thankfully, the cabinet and pantry space in Yuki’s kitchen was quite exceptional, so despite having bought close to two hundred pounds of stuff, I managed to make it all fit, along with some room to space; her fridge, on the other hand, was a different story. I had things stacked on top of each other at weird angles just to get things to fit, and I barely managed that.

‘Haa, that took some time, but finally, the organization is done. Now, to actually start cooking, best to use meat and rice Yuki already had, lest they go bad.’ Thought Alexander, his hands on his hips with a satisfied smile as he gazed at the kitchen before nodding and grabbing the necessary ingredients.

Setting all the ingredients onto the island, I grabbed two pans, a pot, a large glass bowl, and a cutting board, summoning Zartha this time instead of Trina; I was about to start cutting the onions, but before I did, she shook aggressively.

‘You bought knives, Master.’ Said Zartha calmly as she did her best to stop Alexander from turning her into a kitchen knife, though since she had chosen him as her Master, she couldn’t truly disobey his words.

“Oh yeah, I nearly forgot; heh, looks like you got saved this time, Zartha.” Muttered Alexander with slightly widened eyes as he looked at his dagger-sized greatsword before absorbing it back into his body.

‘Tch, Master was so close, too.’ Commented Trina quietly from a distance as she watched Zartha with her arms folded while kicking the ocean in annoyance.

Grabbing one of the knives from the draw, I quickly chopped various vegetables and herbs; even fruits were included, though only a few. Placing them all into the glass bowl, I added all the various spices and started mixing them around, thoroughly evening out the spices among the chopped-up ingredients; once I finished that, I set the bowl to the side and grabbed a pack of meat before freeing it from its package.

“Hmm, smells like venison.” Muttered Alexander with a nod as he placed the meat on the chopping board, though he wasn’t chopping it.

Grabbing a small handful from the large glass bowl, I slathered the various spices along with chopped-up fruits, herbs, and vegetables onto the meat before placing it on a long skillet; doing the same thing multiple times, I put them all on the stove and turned the fire on, letting them cook.

Since all the chicken was carrying the flavor, I didn’t need to add anything to the rice, and while I could, I’ve learned that too much flavor isn’t always a good thing, so I only added some salt and into the water-filled pot, and dumped twelve cups of rice into the pot, just to be on the safe side since I’m feeding Yuki, who could arguably eat just as much food as I eat in a week in one meal.

Covering the pot with a lid, I turned the stove on, and now, really, all I had to do was wait; sometimes, I’d check the venison, seeing if it was ready to be flipped over or if I needed to add some more seasoning. However, it seemed Yuki must’ve smelled what I was cooking since I heard her enter the kitchen, only to turn around and see her practically salivating.

“W-What are you cooking, Alexander?” Asked Yuki as she approached Alexander while drooling, her eyes fixedly staring at the skillet of venison with hunger.

“Don’t know, decided to try something new since today is a special day; I hope it tastes good.” Replied Alexander lightly as he gave Yuki a slightly reproachful look before shaking his head while rubbing his finger across the skillet and sucking on it, tasting the seasoning.

“Hmm, that’s not half-bad.” Muttered Alexander with a raised eyebrow as he nodded to himself before he suddenly saw four large bluish hands reach toward the skillet.

Seeing Yuki reach toward the skillet, I smacked her hands away, requiring to use a decent amount of strength since one thing I’ve learned from being Yuki’s friend is she was strong, very strong, and equally robust, though she moved just how you think a modern tank would: slow, at least until she gets up to speed.

“No tasting; the food is not ready.” Stated Alexander with a slight frown as he eyed Yuki, who looked quite annoyed.

“That’s not fair; you just tasted it; why can’t I taste it?” Asked Yuki with a frown as she folded her arms and glared at Alexander, who wasn’t the least bit intimidated, hard to be, considering whenever he looked up, all he saw were a pair of giant breasts.

“Because I’m the chef; that’s how it works. As the chef, I must taste the unfinished food to ensure it’s cooked correctly; you wouldn't want me to hand you raw food, would you?” Remarked Alexander lightly as he pointed to himself before gesturing to the food, causing Yuki’s frown to deepen.

“But aren’t I the one eating it? So I should also get a taste to see whether I’ll like it.” Stated Yuki with a nod as she firmly stood her ground.

Looking at Yuki’s firm stance on the matter, I grabbed my head in frustration before quickly slapping away her hands again.

“You’ll eat it when it’s done; now leave the kitchen. I can’t let you stay here; you’ll ruin something.” Said Alexander as he put his hands on Yuki’s rock-hard, toned abdomen before pushing her away, though because she resisted, they ended up falling.

Falling on top of Yuki, my head landed on her large, soft, yet firm breasts that honestly rivaled any pillow I’ve ever slept on; however, while lying there, inhaling her womanly scent. For the first time in over a month, I was aroused, which surprised me. Ever since Master had passed away, I haven’t been aroused in the slightest, not even whenever Lily tried to sleep with me, though I’m pretty confident that’s because she wasn’t trying her hardest; either way, I still resisted the lure of an experienced Succubus. So, to be finally aroused really made me happy; it’s not like I intended to go around and sleep with random women or anything, but what man likes the feeling of being impotent?

“Alexander, stop rubbing your finger on me; that tickles.” Said Yuki lightly as she reached down and pushed Alexander off him, not knowing she was actually referring to his erect manhood.

“S-Sorry.” Replied Alexander with a blush of embarrassment and shame as he hid his erection before quickly standing up and helping Yuki up.

“Y-You okay?” Asked Alexander as he awkwardly looked away, finding it too shameful to look Yuki in the eye after having practically just rubbed his crotch on her.

“Hmm? Yeah, I’m fine; anyways, I’ll leave the kitchen for now, but if the food’s not done in ten minutes, I’m coming back and tasting it.” Replied Yuki as she tilted her head in confusion before nodding and giving Alexander a serious glare while returning to the couch.

Seeing her leave, I turned back around and sighed to myself as I looked down at my crotch, which was erect beyond belief.

‘Haa, to think the penis I disliked for being so big was merely a finger to Yuki; I suppose everyone's perception is different. Still, I’m glad you’re finally active again; it seems like I’ll be spending a little bit longer in the bathroom now.’ Mused Alexander with a depressed sigh before shaking his head and smiling as he patted his penis, which took quite a while to calm down.

By the time my crotch had returned to its usual flaccid state, dinner was finally done, which turned out to be a real hassle as I had to stop Yuki two more times; there were a lot of things I’d caved on, but breaking that rule wasn’t one of them.

“Foods, finished!” Yelled Alexander from the kitchen, his words prompting both Yuki and Talis to instantly stand up as they swiftly arrived at the dining table.

“I can’t wait to eat Alex’s cooking after so long!” Said Talis in excitement as she stood on the table, eagerly tapping her talons.

“C’mon, hurry, Alexander; I’m starving!” Declared Yuki aggressively as she sat down while eying Alexander like he was an enemy.

“Calm down, you two; it’s coming; just give me a minute to put it on a plate.” Remarked Alexander lightly as he waved his hands and grabbed three plates, two normal and one jumbo-sized.
