Next, faced with food that was both novel and incredibly delicious, Lu acted like a little monster—stuffing everything straight into her mouth. She even accidentally mistook chili sauce for ketchup and ended up coughing badly from the spice.

I gently scolded her—eating this fast was dangerous. Beyond choking risks, wolfing down food like that might make her swallow inedible things by mistake.

...Though honestly, with Lu’s abilities, plastic wrappers would break down into basic energy in her stomach almost instantly. No real worry there.

Right after lunch, Lu let out a heavy yawn. Drowsy-eyed, she pounced onto my bed and started snoring soundly. I couldn’t do a thing about it.

But while clearing the table, a thought struck me: "Crap—what if Lu gets hooked on this world’s food and can’t stomach the simple meals back home?" It hit me as I tidied the takeout bags.

Everyday food here was leagues better than in Amelia and Lu’s original world. We’d likely stay here a long while—but we’d have to return eventually. What if Lu couldn’t adjust to coarse grains and plain fare after that? Interdimensional teleportation drained huge energy and magic. We couldn’t exactly pop back for every meal, eat, then dash off to fight.

"So I’ll have to level up my cooking skills," I realized. Packing a bag of food in storage space would only last so long. If Lu wanted this taste forever, learning to cook it myself was the simplest fix.

I’d picked up some cooking back in school when I lived alone. And Amelia, as Lu’s head maid, knew pastry-making well—different methods, but a foundation would make learning easy.

"Hmm, I’ll grab a few solid cookbooks this afternoon and start practicing," I muttered, nodding to myself.

I wasn’t the real Amelia, but as Lu’s head maid now, I had to handle everything for her—food, clothes, shelter, travel. It was my duty.

"Hmph~ I’m kinda excited to see how Lu will beg me to cook for her." After settling this, a mischievous spark flared in me—I really wanted to see her stomach completely won over by my dishes... Just imagining it sent a thrill through me.

Decision made: start studying tonight. Silently, I smiled, the corners of my mouth curving slightly with delight.
