Testing the shield

"The meat here is very good! Mind telling me what kind of spices are you using to bring so much of its flavour?"

Sitting down next to the Elea came with both perks and troubles. 

Sitting barely half a meter away from her, all it took was a single side-glance to confirm or negate all of the doubts I could ever have about how any part of her body looked like, but with how closely the Overlord was inspecting my behaviour, there was no way for me to get any freebies without endangering the relationship with the local powerhouse.

During the meal, I managed to get enough time to calmly analyze the Overlord's bodily constitution, but in the end, I failed to learn anything new. The way to utilize the energy-rich fat was kept as just a guess, with no other way to confirm it than duelling the lord.
