Alright so this is just a quick update. I wanted to release something funny today so here it is. There will be several more sections to this chapter once it is completed. This is just what I have done today. Consider this a work in progress. It will also get a different chapter name as well.
A knock on the front of the manor door draws the attention of the residents. As Bell looks out the window, he sees Persephone from yesterday. As Bell goes to the door he opens
"Hi Miss Persephone, what can I do for you?" Bell asks
"Ah, Lady Demeter sent me with her thank you gift." Persephone says as she points to wagon at the front of the manor.
"Uhm. Sure, thank you for delivering it, all. You can set it down in the kitchen." Bell says as he looks at the wagon wide-eyed while Persephone waves at the familia members standing by the wagon.
The Demeter Familia members scrambled to start unloading the wagon.
"Uhm. Please thank Lady Demeter for helping me. She really didn't have to go through all the trouble. This looks like a lot" Bell says as multiple Demeter familia members begin to stream by with crates of food and baked goods. A familiar scent reaches Bell's nose:
Carrots.
"Uhm. Well Lady Demeter insisted on making it as a thank you gift. Apparently, the letter you delivered meant more than she let on. She did almost all of these personally with only a little help from us. We only really watched them when they cooked. Speaking of letters, I have one for you from lady Demeter" Persephone says as she hands Bell a letter, who immediately start to read it:
Dear Bell,
First, I wanted to thank you for the letter you brought. I know I said this already, but it truly meant the world to me. I haven't been able to see my daughter since I descended. So, I have been missing her terribly after all these centuries. So once again thank you.
Now, I don't know what you like, other than carrots, so I made a variety of things. Plus, since you look like such an adorable bunny, I thought a carrot theme would be best. I made two varieties, a sweet and then savory option in case you don't like sweets. I know that you are living with Zald, Alfia, and Erebus so I made enough that you won't have to share unless you want to. Here is a list of what I made:
· 4 Layer Carrot Cake (Each layer 12" by 24") X 16.
· Carrot Muffins X 60.
· Carrot Bread X 24.
· Carrot cookies X 40.
· Carrot Scones x40.
· Carrot Cupcakes X 40.
· Carrot and Walnut Loaf Bread X 40.
· Carrot and Raisin Bread Pudding (Pan size: 12" by 24") X 16.
· Carrot and Zucchini Cake Bars X 80.
· Carrot and Cheese Biscuits X 40.
I made plenty of snakes for you to take when you get hungry in the Dungeon. I made sure that everything would be very filling and nutritious. I hope that you can enjoy them at your leisure. I look forward to seeing you again.
With warmest regards,
Demeter.
PS. In case I made too much, please feel free to share some of them. I may have gotten carried away, but I wanted to make to properly thank you.
Bell's eyes' have started to bug out of his head as he continued to read just how much Demeter made for him. Meanwhile the Demeter familia have finally finished unloading the wagon and have been streaming by Bell as he read the letter. The others have finally come to see the commotion is.
"Bell what's all this from Demeter familia?" Zald asks as he and the others have arrived.
Bell simply hands Zald the letter.
"Pft." Zald immediately starts to chuckle at how Demeter is treating Bell. As he finishes reading, Zald hands the letter to Alfia and Erebus who read it together. Alfia's eyebrow's twitch while Erebus chuckles.
"Welp, we are done here so I will be leaving you now." Persephone says as she waves goodbye to them all.
The group moved to the kitchen where the Demeter Familia had placed all of the food and baled goods. There is a veritable mountain of food on the table. The mountain of food is as tall as Zald.
"We are never going to get through all of this before it spoils. I think we should share it." Bell says
"Oh. And who do think we should share it with, Bell?" Alfia grills him while glaring at him.
Bell gulps nervously before responding: "I think Ardee and Alise and the rest of them would be best."
"tch. Of course it is those hyenas." Alfia glares out the window towards Stardust Garden "However you are right it would be shameful to let this food go to waste. Lady Demeter obviously went through a great deal of trouble to make all of these personally for us. She is also one of the very few good deities in this cesspool of a city."
"Alright I will bring it over to them after we sort it all." Bell says
The baked goods are quickly sorted and separated into two groups. Bell goes over to the Astraea Familia home and knock on the doors which is opened by Neze.
"Hey Bell, What's up? And why do you smell like baked goods? They are making you smell delicious" Neze says as her nose starts to twitch and her tail wags at the smell of the baked goods
"Ahhh. Lady Demeter made a bunch of baked goods for my familia as a thank you gift for delivering a letter from her daughter. She made too much, and I decided to share it with you all. I thought I would ask for your help." Bell responded
"Oh, Yeah, Alise mentioned that you nearly died by boobs. That also explains why Lion looked so distraught and was muttering to herself when she came back about hope for the future." Neze says as Bell begins to blush at the memory prompting a giggle from Neze .
"Bell, you are really too adorable. I heard Lady Demeter called you a little bunny" Neze as she starts to pet Bell's head causing him to blush.
"yes, she did." Bell responds
"heheh. Better be careful Bell if you stay this cute, a whole lot of women are going to want to gobble you up. Make sure you don't get tricked by any evil woman, okay?" Neze says as she finally stopped petting Bell's head.
"Thank Miss Neze. I will make sure not to get tricked." Bell responds still blushing
"hehe. Good. Noin, Iska, Ryana. Bell is here. He brough baked goods for us all. ." Neze calls.
The three girls come down from the upper floor.
"hey there bell. You are still as adorable as always" Iska says as she drags Bell into a hug.
"Hi Bell, how are you?" Ryana says
"How has it been settling into a new house?" Noin inquires
"hehe. Thank Miss.." Bell starts to respond
"Muah. What did I tell you call me?" ISka says as she pouts at Bell being so formal
"Iska" Bell
"Good bell. Now what is this about baked good?" Iska
Bell explains what happened and how there is too much food for just his familia to eat so he wanted to share with them all. The girls immediately volunteer to help Bell carry everything over. The girls are ecstatic at the thought of being able to eat Demeter's baked goods. They help Bell quickly move the treats from Midnight Garden to their home all the while thanking Bell for being willing to share so much.
