The sun pierces the curtain as I arise. Ito is still sleeping soundly in bed, so I decided to start making breakfast. I've gotten my hands on some ingredients because I'm tired of Sustenance Potions. I think they get worse the more you drink, I haven't built up a tolerance at all. Let's just go with Bacon and Eggs, a classic. Starting a small fire, I pull out the frying pan and get to cooking.
"What're you making?"
Ito has materialized directly behind me, probably awoken from the scent of the food.
"Just some bacon and eggs. It'll be done soon, so go relax for a bit."
As I finish up the food, I notice I've gained the skill Basic Cooking, which comes with Food Evaluation and Juice. Deciding to try it out, I use Juice on an apple. The apple immediately turns into juice and flies into a cup. That was really easy, so I make another cup for Ito. Bringing the food to the table, I call Ito over.
"What's this drink? It's so sweet!"
"It's apple juice. I obtained Basic Cooking while cooking the meal. Speaking of which..."
I bring over the plates, being careful not to spill anything. I place down the plates, and take my seat. Absentmindedly, I blurt something out.
"Thanks for the food!"
Ito looks at me quizzically. Right, this isn't Japan, so they don't have Japanese customs.
"Oh, that was just a custom from my home country. It's a way to pay respects to the chef for making the food, and the gods for supplying the ingredients. Different people have different interpretations of it, that's just mine."
"Well then, thanks for the food!"
We dig into the breakfast I prepared, and it tastes better than I thought it would. Guess those University years finally paid off, huh? Well, that's behind me. Right now it's time to enjoy a meal, just like how Ito is enjoying hers.
"Sho Good! I've never eaten shomething thish tashty before!"
Yeah, that's obvious if you can't swallow your food first before speaking.
We finish our food, and start preparing for our day.
"Hey, Ito, catch."
I toss her a copper dagger I just made. As expected, in one swift motion, she grabs it out of the air, almost effortlessly.
"Wow, to make a blade this light and nimble is really impressive. I feel lighter on my feet just holding it!"
Lighter on her feet? Wait a minute, I picked up Weapon Appraisal earlier, I need to see something.
"Hand me that, please."
"Here you go."
Activating Weapon Appraisal, I see something new.
[Enchantments: Agility I]
Wait, Agility? Would that by chance...
"Hey, Ito, can we go out to a field? I wanna test something."
"Of course."
