- Chapter 32 - Chapter 32 Thank you for the food
Chapter 32: Thank you for the food Chapter 32: Thank you for the food *You seem spooked.
Do you feel anything ominous coming?* The voice asked.
Alice shook her head and tried to recollect her thoughts.
It was so bizarre but she wanted to ask anyway.
“H-hey, this is gonna sound crazy, but we live in an era where there are monsters and superheroes, so I don’t think it’s all that crazy, but…
Are you from the future?” The voice went silent and so did Alice.
“Shit, I knew that sounded weird.
I mean, how could you be from the future, right?” She paused.
Saying that out loud, things actually started to make sense.
It knew about the calamity and knew that a red gate was going to spawn where she was before any of it happened.
It knew too much to be considered a coincidence.
*All this…
I will answer them once you defeat the demon administrator.* It said.
“Ah, there’s that promise again.” She said.
“Are you sure you’re going to explain things to me once I defeat the boss?” *I give you my word.* It said.
*And also, I won’t be able to take over your body going forward.
You might not feel it but it’s highly dangerous.* “How dangerous?” *Just forget about it and eat.
I prepared the minotaur.
I hope you enjoy it.
I’ll go quiet for a while so I won’t answer you even if you yell.* It said.
“Hm?
I don’t see anything.
Where’s the…?” Then, she got the whiff of it.
All along, there had been such an aromatic dish in front of her and she did not notice it.
In front of her was a little fire and hanging on sticks were different parts of already skewered minotaur meat.
It smelled so good that it made her salivate, and if she didn’t know where the meat came from, she would’ve mistook it for steak.
Well, it could still be considered as steak, right?
Minotaurs were bulls, and bulls could be classified as cows, right?
Ah, what the heck?
She was too hungry to use her brain.

She picked up one of the sticks holding the huge piece of meat.
“Thank you for the food!” She said and opened her mouth wide to take a big bite out of it but paused.
“So, you’re sure the toxins are completely out, right?” She asked but there was no response.
Just as the voice had said, it wouldn’t be able to respond to her even if she yelled.
‘Guess it finally ran out of battery.’ she thought.
‘It probably won’t feed me something that I could die from.’ She finally wanted to take a big bite but paused once more, remembering the vision she saw.
It was quite disturbing and it would’ve been even more disturbing if that lady lying on the ground and facing that giant eyeball was her.
Just what in the world would she be doing in a situation like that anyway?
“Whatever.
I’ll understand once this is all over.” She took a big chunk of the meat and her eyes glowed.
“Oh my, what is this?
This is so good.” She took another bite, and another, and another…
She couldn’t stop eating.
“How did it manage to make such heavenly meat?
Does it have the skills of the culinary god?
I’m jealous.” She finished the first stick, entered the next, and on the third, she paused.
It was strange but this was the first time she was actually feeling like she was eating anything.
Before, no matter how much she ate at a time, it always felt empty inside.
Like she was throwing the food into a bottomless pit.
But while eating the minotaur meat, she was actually feeling it land in her stomach, or wherever the energy vessel was in her body.
‘Ah, I’ve missed this feeling of satisfaction.’ she thought, nibbling on the meat.
‘Is this what it was trying to tell me?
Not only do I feel satisfied, I feel like a newborn baby.
I don’t feel tired at all and my strength is replenished.
Monster meat is the best.” She ate three more sticks and burped, patting her stomach as she couldn’t eat any more than that.
Rather, she decided to keep the rest and chow on them when she craved for it again.
She even had water.
It was like it had gone down to the lower floor and got water for her.
Gosh, if that was the case then how long had she been unconscious?
‘It said it won’t be able to possess my body till we’re done here so that means it won’t roast meat for me again.
I better treasure the ones I have left.’ She laid on her back, staring at the dark rocky ceiling, wondering if she had a storage space where she could keep the meat for safekeeping.
She would just have to ask it when it was fully charged again.
‘Where did it even get the ingredients to spice the meat up so much?
It was truly delicious.’ She went silent and then muttered, “It’s quiet.” Usually, it would’ve started going on and on about one or two things.
She had gotten used to its yapping.
‘I guess I’ll just fall asleep.
There’s no monster on this floor, and if anyone from the upper floors comes close, I’ll feel it and wake up right away.
My perception’s gotten really high too.’ Perception was the ability to feel the things that were around.
Be it monsters or objects, with high perception, even the most skilled assassin or awakened would not be able to sneak up on you while you sleep without you feeling it.
And Alice’s perception was at the level of an SS-class.
So, unless the demon administrator, the boss, sneaked up on her, she was safe.
Alice fell asleep and woke up after some time.
She didn’t know how much time had gone by but when she sat up, she noticed her hair had grown fairly longer than it used to.
Or had she just never noticed it?
“Ugh, I feel so refreshed.
How long was I asleep for?” She asked, getting up as she stretched her arms and legs.
“I feel so energetic.” *You’re finally awake.* The voice said.
“Oh, and so are you.
Are you fully recharged now?” *It’s been so long since I came to.
I almost thought you were dead, sleeping for so long.* “What do you mean?
I simply took a nap.” *Yes, yes.
You simply took a nap.
And while you took that nap, two months went by.
Bravo.* “What?
What did you say?” *You heard me.
Two months went by while you slept like a log of wood.* CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Author_fredah Welp, she slept too long
