An IM: Great Priest Imhotep manga fic, because this fandom needs more fic.
A series of OC centric fics, that tells the story of the life of Kuroa , from the fic "Remnant of you".
Kuroa is already above the age of 18 in these stories, they are nonbinary that have no preference of gender pronouns, and can be called anything by anybody (he/she/they)
Seth is both a God to them and also have a romantic relationship in this story. His vessel is also around/above the age of 18.
(Spoiler for some sentences that is referenced from volume 9 omakes)
(I'm sorry for any poor spelling or grammar as I'm new to making fic)
In this part, it tells the story of Kuroa's relationship with the Ennead
(Kuroa's POV)
"The Ennead has summoned you and they asked for offerings to be delivered there."
"Uh... what?"
-line break-
My name's Kuroa, a High Priest who's currently working at Amen Priest's HQ.
Ever since 4 years ago, the Ennead specifically asked me to be the errand boy that'll deliver whatever requests and offerings they asked.
Usually there are High Priests specifically assigned to handle them and talk to them to report about stuff, but apparently I was the first to be allowed to meet them face to face multiple times.
Well all of this was because Seth is connected to me as my Ka. And even without being appointed as being errand boy, Seth does often sneaked around and descended to do some stuffs and train me secretly.
So the request coming from them didn't surprise me.
What surprised me was WHY THE HELL YOU TOLD ME THAT WHILE IM ALREADY READY TO SLEEP IN MY PAJAMAS??!
-line break-
"So what are all the requests?"
"It is in this list. Seth sama specifically asked you "to do it right and properly"."
"So we'll do aid you, we'll prepare any kind of high quality goods that is listed there, just say the words!"
All the high priests said in an stern but excited tones
Sir this is midnight and yer in the Eight Houses's estate, might not wanna wake up all of the others with your voice.
I saw the list. It seems that each person asked for certain foods.
Atum asked for hard boiled eggs, grandpa peacock asked for breads, crying mama asked for tomatoes, Geb-san asked for meat, Nut-san asked for bread, Ossi, asked for onions, Isis-san asked for cheese, Seth being Seth asked for Lettuce, Nep-san asked for mayonnaise.
Hmmm?? Wait???? Waiiiiiit a minuuuute...
"Did they asked for these to be a high quality goods?" I asked for confirmation.
"N-no... they just said to do it right... and we thought that as a way to respect them we should give them the high quality ones..."
I sighed, knowing Seth, the right answer doesn't necessarily to be that... this was a riddle wasn't it.
I sighed and handed the list back. "Prepare everything else except the bread, mayo, lettuce and meat."
They then excused themselves and went away and told me the deadline is this weekend
-line break-
I figured out the riddle right away alright, but I know that The Gods right now, they prefer result and process over quality.
Just like they prefer priests over royal family. They are just telling me to cook and hand made everything. Those were lists of ingredients not just list of offerings.
I sighed as I used the cafeteria's kitchen and began making the stuff. An original mayonnaise, a smoked ham, made sure Seth's lettuce doesn't have any condiment in it. I don't know what kind of breading they want so I went and make 3 kinds, normal ones, pita pocket breads, and tortillas.
After a few days, the high priests delivered the other ingredients, I quickly assembled them. And then I went back to sleep afterwards.
-line break-
The ship has departed to the Ancient Amen Priest HQ. I know this isn't my first time meeting them but I still get anxious...
Once arrived I bowed myself and say my usual gratitude prayer yadda yadda.
"Soooo why don't we check it out if you can prepare your offering properly?" Seth snickered with a haughty tone.
Brat.
"Now now Sethy, if you bully your partner so much they'll hate you!" Osiris laughed
"SHUT UP"
"Hiiii there Kuroa-chan! Lemme see the food you prepared!!" Nut-san said and she descended as I unpacked it.
"I've packed it per boxes for each of you, I made it in 3 kinds of bread. I hope you enjoyed it." I said and Nut took her box, and delivered the others their box.
"Oooooh! You really did make it a 3 kind of sandwiches! Nice!!" Osiris and Geb complimented me.
"Good work on your job High Priest Kuroa!" Shu-san said, in a falsetto tone. Why?
"I-I'm sorry we teased you too much... hic... we didn't meant to..." Tefnut cried.
"It's okay, its no big deal" I replied.
"You even made it so that the ingredient we requested personally have extra portion. Good work" Atum said.
Isis and Nepthys complimented me calmly as well.
I bowed for their compliment.
Although the calming lunch session was interrupted immediately.
"WOOOOI KUROAAAA YOU BITCH! I WHY DIDNT MY TACOS HAVE EXTRA LETTUCE AS WELL AND INSTEAD HAVE HAMS??"
I snickered mentally at him, but calmly replied
"Cuz you are skinny and I'm worried okay? Loon at your chest!"
"Seth's chest is skinny alright..." Nep said and glanced at him.
"WHERE THE HELL YOU TWO PERVERTED GIRLS ARE LOOKING AT ME??!" Pfft, okay so that was funny alright.
"Seth, you wanna switch sandwich with mine and hubby's? It have extra ham as well!" Nut said
Warning: I'm trying not to laugh at the whole charade. Sorry Seth.
"I DONT WANT EXTRAS GODDAMIT ITS YOU WHOS GROWING CHUBBIER! CHUBBYROA!!"
"Stop insulting them, look they are crouching in sad now" n o Isis Ma'am I'm trying not to laugh here.
"They are right, all you eat is lettuces, you'll be a rabbit!" Isis said.
"Usagi Seth... Usethgi... snrk... pfft..." HELP ME I CANT LAUGH LIKE A MADMAN HERE.
"SHUT UP WHO YOU ARE CALLING RABBIT"
"Alright Kuroarashi, from now on, add more meat for whatever food he's going to eat." Atum commanded.
I stood up, with my best poker face trying not to twitch and saluted him, and agreed to his suggestion,
"Alright, I will do that!"
"DONT DO ME ANY WEIRD FAVORS LIKE THAT !"
As we finished teasing him, I gave him the real lunch box that really are sandwiches with more lettuces. So yes I did kinda spoiled him by giving two lunch boxes but still...
I went home laughing like a mad man, releasing whatever had just happened today and went to sleep.

Bonus Ending:
(Ennead's waiting room.)
"In the end you got two lunch boxes, how lucky!" "Shut the fuck up dick-less Osiris!" Seth huffed.
"They were trying hard not to laugh lmao, too bad Isi-chan thought they were crying lolol" Osiris keep laughing. Seth just continued to eating, "like hell the brat cried from just that"
"You really understand everything about her aint'cha?" Seth ignored him and went away eating somewhere else.
There was a letter hidden in the second lunch box, [you really are skinny, I'm worried if my friend got his body back he'll be shocked at how skinny he is. So eat up for his sake as well! Dum dum Seth!]
Seth huffed but begrudgingly eat them all "I'm a God not a pregnant woman dammit..."
(He couldnt lie down because his tummy's full for several hours)
