The Bossʼs colossal claws had to be cut into pieces so we could boil them properly, each claw was over ten meters wide and contained immense amounts of meat inside. After some thought I decided to consume a ton of minerals that we had accumulated through looting in the dungeon, after devouring around a ton, I molded the minerals inside of my body.

I made some space for myself and the shapeshifted into a giant Red Slime, extending a piece of my body, a loud sound filled the room as a massive pot fell to the ground.

”Aaah! Master is making new pots!” (Nesiphae)

”Mama! Make more! We need a lot!” (Amiphossia)

”Sigh… I got such a huge family now, alright” I said.

Expanding my body, even more, I started producing a second pot, each pot had several colors mixed together as they were made with various minerals, nonetheless, they were incredibly sturdy and big, each one being over fifteen meters tall and ten meters wide, ideal to boil and cook such massive pieces of meat.

Clank! Clank!

Two more gigantic pots fell to the ground as I was already out of minerals inside of me, going back to my original size.

”Three should be enough”

Ailine and Vudia, who had never seen me do such an ”amazing” thing, were amazed. Their eyes shined brightly in impression as their faces were blushing.

”Ooaah! Mama is so cool! Vudia will make a pot with her gold as well!”

”Mommy, how can you do that? Can Ailine learn how to do that?”

Ailine wanted me to teach her how to do this, but I really didnʼt know how to ”teach” her, I actually just used my already existing skill [Greater Equipment Materialization] to make the pots. However, I couldnʼt just tell her that, so she immediately started to eat minerals and expanded her body, while trying to imitate me.

Then I remembered that Ailine had a similar ability to [Greater Equipment Materialization] that she uses to create her Magus Equipment Set and her Staff. I told her to try to channel such power and after some minutes, she managed to create a five meters tall pot, it wasnʼt perfect but it was very impressive of her to be able to create something like this so easily.

Vudia followed her as she manipulated her Gold and made a perfect imitation to my pots but of golden color. Such a massive amount of gold would be considered a treasure in Earth, however, Vudia can generate gold so easily that it loses its monetary value.

Two more pots came right away, as my wives started immediately to add water and the ingredients. They also made some fires using wood that we brought from the surface and small fire that mostly anyone can cast. Seven pots were boiling with ingredients and spices inside as the delicious smell of the soup filled the room.

The multi-colored claws of the massive Boss quickly turned dark red. As the tender white meat inside began to boil and increase in size. There were lots of side dishes as well being made, like boiled grains, vegetables, mushrooms, and other types of meat.

There was always a soothing harmony when it was time to eat, as some of my wives cooked, others rested or worked in their persona projects, even sparring with each other or teaching their children.

Some of my children like to help out in the kitchen, and Vudia and Ailine forced me to help them. Rimuru had recently taught them how to make cupcakes and they wanted my assistance while making the dough. It was a rather simple recipe, some flour was needed, which was made by pondering the grains of the forest into dust, there was also honey, butter from rabbit milk, and water.

The candies were made mostly of honey as well, but the dyes were taken from different fruits from the forest. Rimuru had already prepared some candies and cream so we just needed to bake the cupcakes and decorate. It was quite fun and relaxing at the same time, to think that I went from voraciously fighting and eating alive a Chimera monster to cooking cupcakes with my beloved daughters… Life is really… varied.

Some hours later the dinner was ready and the cupcakes as well. I had also prepared some other desserts using the Walking Cactuses, their green and juicy fruit-like flesh was delicious and filled with sugar. It would be ideal if we could extract this sugar from them and make authentic sugar! Not even Athetosea had the white sugar that I know, and only had more refined types of honey.
