Dungeon? This Tree? Why Don't You Join Me for Lunch? (Dungeon Core)
Chapter 76: Titan Returns!

Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Titan Returns!

"Aurora, come on!" I began, as the other dungeon core threatened to cut me up nice and good and use me as compost. "The compost I want to sell you is made by a dungeon core!"

"Yes!" She snapped, just like she had done for the past hour. "By you! You are a tree’s nymph, not a farmer! What do you know about compost?"

Well... that was true. Close to nothing.

I just dug a hole in the ground and dumped the waste from my cow, who is free-range, by the way, and has a barrier around her, into the hole.

And using a rune which appeared one day magically, but was sent by Nick, or at least I was sure it was sent by Nick now, into the poop pile.

So, my kitchen scraps could go there...

I really should get chicken. Fresh eggs are perfect for making cake!

Or for pretty much every form of baking, if I have to be honest.

"The rune which mixed it all together was made by Nick the Farmer!" I told her because I felt that it was important.

I could hear her as she sucked in a breath, and then...

"Sell it to me! What do you want for it?" I even saw as she used her mana through our Nymph Union to check the poop pile. "OH MY GOD!"

"Look! I just said that the rune was made by Nick!" I didn’t want to be told that I was a con to my face.

Besides, I was perfectly willing to apologize. It was one thing to sell the poop pile and then to have Aurora demand a refund.

Another to lose her and her veggies!

"Gold!" Aurora stole the poop pile!

"Aurora!" I protested. "That is mine!"

"Silence you!" I saw as she attempted to steal the rune as well. I shrugged and went to the now clean hole in the earth. Picking the rune without much trouble.

It spoke volumes about how throughout Aurora was that the rune didn’t even stink!

Not that I didn’t have soap in my vest and a water rune...

Man... Nick liked to keep me supplied!

"Do you want it?" I snarled at her. Was this how much our Nymph Union meant to her? "Well, you can’t have it! My man gave it to me! Me!"

"Sylvan," she purred out, as crates upon crates of fresh produce began to appear before my eyes! "Now, don’t be like that, partner."

I blinked. Why did she speak to me like Nate and Desmond liked to speak to me when they wanted favors in the bedroom?

"Aurora, cut it," and it seemed that Nate had come to the same conclusion.

"Yes, Dungeon Core Aurora, cut it," the voice was smooth. The man who came to us was a vision! In hunting clothes!

"Are you a dungeon core?" Will my tourists be dungeon cores?

Oh! That was the best!

"Sylvan," the man went past Nate so, as if he didn’t fear him.

I blinked. Was Nate going to let just about anyone in my harem?

"It is I, Titan!" he took my hand in his and gave the back of it a kiss. "Here to cook with you until my dying day!"

His teeth were still the fangs of the wolves he slaughtered, now that I knew what to look for...

"Ok," I told myself and him both. "You want to cook with me? Do you know how?"

Because if he tried to use the remains of the exploded stone, I was going to turn him into a rice cake!

"Well," he looked around, only to shrug. "I will need to go grocery shopping for some pots and pans, but sure! I can dazzle you!"

That coming from someone who ate raw meat and sprinkled the snow with guts was rich.

Or so I thought.

"Wait, Sylvan, don’t be mean! He can’t go into the village! He’ll scare the villagers," Nate snapped his fingers and a pot, and some kitchenware appeared.

It was all the things I normally used.

Still, I trusted in Nate.

Besides... I did feel bad about the fact that I was mean to Titan. Nate had the right of it.

"Ok, let me see," Titan began to take out the flour and the eggs. I watched him like a hawk! "First things first! I need to order my cooking area!"

He began to take out everything he needed from my bottomless bag.

Water, because we still needed to import clean water by buying water from the Dungeon of Waterfalls and then to cart it to the Filtering Dungeon... which was a hellish place if you were an adventurer.

Ah, the Necromantic Union! Was there a more diverse dungeon ecosystem?

I blinked, as he took a hold of my favorite bowl, the one with the heating rune, and managed to set the rune on low heat!

I watched him as he poured water inside the bowl with a smile so sunny, I wanted to hug him!

He loved cooking!

My hand went to my mouth.

"Is this how I won you over?" Nate whispered in my ear, as he hugged me from behind.

He was so firm, so warm.

A far cry from the thing he had been, before my cooking had healed him.

"Yes," I whispered because there was nothing like the love for cooking to make me swoon.

"Then," he told me, as Titan was testing the temperature of the water with a finger. "Why don’t we join him for lunch?"

I smiled. Yes, I could already imagine the baked goods that Titan was going to produce. There was no mistaking the yeast he was mixing in with the sugar in the water.

I blinked.

"Titan..." I was going to break his heart. "I can’t..."

And mine, with his along the way.

"I know that Desmond can’t eat anything with sugar," Titan’s voice was as gentle as the wind that was playing with my curls. "But the tourists can and would love some cheese bread buns. Don’t you agree... Dungeon Core Sylvan? The Dungeon Core of my heart. The Foodie Nymph of my dreams?"

I nodded. Ok, so he wasn’t going to tempt me with that. That was good.

"And what will you bake for us?" I found it strange that he was baking for the tourists already...

I heard it! The snap of a twig at the forest entrance!

"Brace yourselves!" I ran back inside. I could be nostalgic all I wanted, but the hungry mob was here! "The Horde is invading!"

It was cooking time!
