From the Wandenreich's escape to One Piece

This time there's no chance, but next time I come back, I'll still be in Ohara.

Hmm, maybe we can even get a nautical chart to the Kingdom of Sorbe from Ohara.

Beltz thus chose to return.

He appeared once again in the depths of the alleyways of the Invisible Empire.

This trip took quite a while, but thankfully he's free now.

Beltz didn't go home immediately; instead, he bought some groceries first and then carried them home.

In fact, there exists a facility called the "Gate of the Sun" within the Wandenreich, which allows Quincy to teleport between the three realms.

Moreover, the Quincy actually have multiple strongholds in the human world.

Therefore, anything that can be found in the real world can also be found in the Blind Empire.

The original owner hadn't bought many ingredients before and hadn't paid much attention, but Beltz only noticed this last time he went there.

When he returned with two bags, he saw Litoto sitting on her bed, looking rather bored, with an ice pop in her mouth.

Hearing the door open, Litoto looked at Beltz with deadpan eyes and said, "Where have you been? Why did it take you so long to come back?"

They actually came...

Beltz told himself to stay calm and follow the script.

Because they had already rehearsed the exercise beforehand, Beltz wasn't too flustered.

"I went to buy some groceries."

Beltz put down the bag he was carrying, then feigned a puzzled look and asked, "Lady Litoto, what brings you here?"

"You smell wonderful." Litoto sniffed again, then surprisingly licked her lips!

Holy crap, does this guy really want to eat me?

Eating dragon meat is forbidden!

Beltz, embarrassed, said, "Lady Litoto, please calm down!"

"Don't worry, I won't eat you, it's just..."

She glanced at the groceries Beltz had bought and asked, "Can you cook?"

"Although it's not very nice to say it like that, I'm quite good at cooking."

Beltz seemed to have thought of something and said, "Ah, could it be that Lady Litoto smelled the food I made?"

For a foodie, and a very high-status one at that, the thing that makes them happiest is definitely meeting a great chef.

Litoto's eyes lit up immediately.

"Are you cooking? May I stay and have a taste?"

"It is my honor that Lady Litoto can stay." Beltz quickly feigned a flustered expression: "I will go and make preparations right away."

Although the trope of using food to conquer women is a hundred years outdated and belongs to the old-fashioned online novels, it still works well on foodies.

Considering that Litoto has a big appetite, he cooked five dishes in a row.

Salt and pepper pork ribs, sweet and sour fish, braised pork with quail eggs, Mapo tofu, plus a cola chicken wing.

As for the legendary tomato and egg stir-fry that could supposedly steal a woman's soul, he didn't make it because he didn't have any tomatoes today.

Looking at the fragrant food on the table, Litoto felt incredibly hungry.

"Can I eat now?"

Litoto asked very politely.

"Of course, it was originally made for Lady Litoto."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Litoto opened her mouth, and the next moment, the mouth seemed to stretch out as if it were being torn off her body, swallowing the sweet and sour fish in one gulp!

Yes, it's a whole fish!

It swallowed not only fish bones, but even the plate itself!

"!"

Beltz was taken aback, suddenly feeling as if all his hard work had been wasted.

He couldn't help but twitch his lips, and said, "Lady Litoto... this isn't how you eat, is it?"

"Because I just couldn't resist anymore," Litoto said, patting her tummy with a satisfied look. "Delicious!"

Her ability is to be a glutton; she can devour an entire dish, let alone just this one.

She was actually a newcomer to the Sternritter, but the reason she was able to grow to the point where she was among the best even among ordinary members of the Sternritter in just a few years was because of her ability to devour.

"Um, what would you like to eat?"

Litoto then looked at Beltz

"I... never mind, I've already eaten." Beltz looked at Litoto's bright little eyes and was afraid that if she didn't let her eat, Litoto would bite her.

Another bite!

Litoto eats a whole plate of food in one bite at a time, but she doesn't lose the flavor because she eats too fast. It seems that she can taste the overall flavor of the food after eating it.

After finishing the food on the table, Litoto was completely satisfied.

She leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and touched her stomach, looking incredibly happy.

"Burp~"

Litoto let out a loud burp, completely losing her composure: "I approve of you. From now on, you'll be with me."

"Huh?" Beltz exclaimed, feigning surprise. "Following you?"

"Yes, I happen to need an assistant. You can come with me and be my personal chef," Litoto said lazily.

"Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly."

Objective achieved!

Beltz's idea was to first get to know people there so he could secure a position as a Sternritter reserve.

Secondly, becoming Litoto's holy weapon will reduce his usual workload.

As for whether their movements will be restricted... that shouldn't be the case.

After all, he wasn't a proper assistant, but a chef. Putting aside the fact that Litoto usually didn't have much to do, even if there were things to do, they wouldn't let a chef do them.

But outwardly, he still had to say, "Is this alright?"

"Okay, no problem," Litoto said confidently. "Anyway, it's settled then. You're coming back with me now. Don't worry, you just need to think about how to make good things for me; there won't be any combat missions."

"Thank you so much, Lady Litoto!"

Beltz exclaimed excitedly, "I will certainly serve Lady Litoto well!"

Seeing that Beltz was so cooperative, Litoto was quite satisfied, but she paused for a moment before leaving.

"By the way, what's your current combat ability level? I remember back in the training camp, your grades were pretty good, right?"

Beltz felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this.

The original owner's grades were above average during the training class, and theoretically, she had the potential to become a holy weapon.

But his potential may have been activated during the training course. After graduation, his skill level improved very slowly, and he is still just an ordinary Imperial soldier.

"If we're talking about standards, I think I've already reached the level of a holy weapon."

However, after two days of training in the pirate world, even without activating the power of the Azure Dragon Fruit, he believed that he should already be at the level of a Sacred Weapon!
