Chapter 10

When I reached the kitchen,

"Where have you been? Why don't you come at lunchtime? Do you know that it is not a good thing to skip your meals? You are just a two-year-old child, you should care more about yourself..." Brother Winslow half worried half angry scolding started.

"Brother Winslow, can you continue your scolding after I get my dinner? Oh and can you give me an extra portion?" I said while smiling sheepishly.

"Haa..., you are really...haa..." He just sighed and give me my dinner.

"Thank you, Brother Winslow!" I thank him and started to eat my dinner at the corner like before.

"Do you know how worried I was because I can't see you at lunchtime and even though everyone has finished their dinner you still have not appeared? What are you doing to make you skip your meals?" He asked me with worry tone.

I know he cares about me and maybe sympathizes because of my condition.

"You will get old quicker if you keep worrying like that." I just try to lighten the heavy mood and make a joke.

"That's not funny."

But Brother Winslow became angrier.

"Haa, I know about that, Brother Winslow." I sighed and answered seriously.

"I'm sorry for making you feel worried." I apologize to him.

"I know it's not good for skipping my meals, but I need to finish my reading before tomorrow. Besides I forgot about the time because I was too serious when I started reading. It's fun to read and learn so many things that I didn't know. I think you can say it was my bad habit." As I said it, I think my face turned red like a boiled octopus as I feel really embarrassed.

"So you realized that it was wrong but still doing it, right?"

My kind heart Brother Winslow is turning into Scary Demon after he heard my explanations. He started to nag about the importance of every meal and something about children's need to remember that they should eat well, sleep well and play well.

"...But Brother Winslow, I can't do that because I live in this house. They will give me more punishment if I didn't do it!" I answered.

Although I know that most people in this house will still punish me even if I do everything flawlessly like Rennesia in the game.

I really don't understand why they hate Rennesia so much.

"..." Brother Winslow keep opening and closing his mouth but there's no word came out from his mouth.

You also feel speechless from their crazy psycho behaviour, right?

I didn't say anything and I just continue to eat my food.

"You can add some salt, peppers, herbs, cheese, butter or some stocks to this mashed potato. You can also add a sauce to make it taste better." I said while continuing to eat the mashed potato that taste bland.

Basically, it's really just a 'mashed' potatoes.

"What! Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked for his jaw-drop-like expression.

"Ahem. How do you know about this?" He looked at me with suspicion in his tone.

I think I will also feel suspicious if a two-year-old child says similar things. But I have prepared my answers.

"I read it in the book that I read," I answered it truthfully.

Of course, I excluded the previous life memories part. But I still answer it truthfully because I really know from reading some recipe books in my previous life. And the commoner rarely has any opportunity to be able to read a book.

"Ah, right! You can also add some egg yolks if you like. I think it will make a smoother texture but it will also be made the taste a bit sweet and tangy. If you dislike it, just put some butter or warm milk when you start to mash it." I just add what I just remembered.

"Is it safe for adding the uncooked egg yolks into it?" Brother Winslow asked with a serious face.

I think it might be alright to share some of my previous life knowledge with him.

"It's safe if you can be heated it in their shells but not enough to cook the eggs. The heat will clean the eggs of any dangerous substances. There also some dressings that use raw eggs as their ingredients." I remembered the mayonnaise recipe.

"Did you also read it from the books?" He seems to be still feeling suspicious about it.

"Un, that's right." I just nodded at his question.

"Alright, I will try it for tomorrow's breakfast."

He started to prepare for tomorrow's breakfast menu.

"While you cook it, there are few important things like the heat,..."

I'm giving some tips to him. I hope it will help him. It's my payback for his kindness. I don't have anything except for the knowledge from my previous life. As I tell him what I know my guilt seems to be lessening.

"Right, my lady, have you finished your reading? You said that you need to finish reading all of the books your tutor give you, right?" He asked with concern.

"Oh no! I forgot to read the last one! I'm sorry brother Winslow, see you tomorrow."

I quickly said goodbye and run back to my room.

"Don't work yourself too hard and ask for help if you are in trouble."

I am sure that Brother Winslow is sighing and saying something when I left the kitchen hurriedly. But I quickly leave because I will feel more guilt if I get more kindness from him.

***

When I reached my room I quickly opened the last book.

It was something similar to the Bible or holy scripture of the Temple of Light. It contains information about how this world is created by the God.

The God in this world, Goddess Elysian that rules the heaven. The Goddess created a few races and make them live peacefully in this world, Elyshion. The Goddess like beautiful things, that was the greatest reason that every creature in this world is beautiful.

In the beginning, the Goddess created six races with the human race as the weakest race in this world. All the races are living peacefully in the Great Continent.

The weakest human race was trying to get the Goddess's attention so they started to make a plan. To get the Goddess's attention, the humans use their creativity and create a lot of beautiful things and offer them to the Goddess.

The Goddess who is satisfied with the human race offering, giving her blessings to the human race. The human race that receives the Goddess's blessings started to flourish.

The other race, especially the demon race is envious of the human race. And that's the beginning of the first war in this world.

The violent demon race that has tasted the blood becomes more violent and attacks the other race. The Goddess saddened by the war of her creations, the Goddess gives another blessing to the human race because the human race was the weakest if compared to the other race.

The human race that got the blessing from the Goddess Elyshion was finally able to stop the demon race with the help of the other race.

They drive out the demon race until they hide themselves in the frozen land in the north. After banishing the demon race to the north, the other race started to feel wary of the human race.

The human race that became want to lead the other races after getting stronger from the Goddess's blessing makes the relationship with the other race became worse.

The second war happened because of the difference and suspicion between them.

In the end, the elf race hid themselves in the Great Forrest of Druantia in the west.

The beast race went to Olokun Archipelago and created the Olokun Kingdom in the south.

The dwarf race runs to the Amuru mountains range and hides in the underground and made a labyrinth-like country in the east.

The last race decided to run away to the ocean and they created another continent. They offer all of the blessings from the Goddess's to create a new place where they are able to live peacefully from other races. That's why they lost the Goddess's blessing and live in the barren land of Spirits. Without the Goddess's blessing, they got tainted by evil spirits and become evil.

While reading about it, I think it's revered by the Spirits Continent. The content of this book is too suspicious. It said that the other continent is a barren land but could it be solved with agricultural techniques? What did it mean that they got tainted and become evil? Doesn't most people in this mansion more fit with that description?

There are strange parts in this book. I feel curious but there are no other details that would describe it. I question the Goddess Elysian that received the human race bribes and give them blessings.

Well, it's something that is written by the human race, like most history where the winner will be the truth and the loser will lose everything.

I think this is the reason for how crazy this world is.

There are still a lot of pages that I have not read.

I continue my reading.

After gaining most parts of the Great Continent, the human race was able to gain a peaceful era.

The human population keep raising and more views started to appear.

Then the third war begins. Human-made a group with similar views and attack the other groups with different views.

The Goddess Elysian was saddened by the human race and her tears dropped to the earth and created the Five Great Labyrinths where the monsters live inside this mysterious place. And the Goddess Elysian decided to leave this world with her grief.

What a useless God. I curse the God before I lost my consciousness.
