Professor Lucia Tastes the Pork Cutlet

After returning to his quarters with Professor Lucia, Ring, and the Ming sisters, Kael closed the door and smiled at the three of them. His eyes brimmed with confidence.

“I’ll prepare something truly delicious for dinner tonight as well, so look forward to it.”

At Kael’s words, Professor Lucia’s sky-blue eyes sparkled with anticipation. She approached him, deliberately swaying the curvaceous figure that stood out beneath her mage’s robe.

“Lord Kael, I’m already so excited to find out what delicious thing you’ll let us eat! The smell of those sausages in the cafeteria earlier was almost impossible to endure.”

Ring and Ming flashed bright smiles as well. Ring’s clear brown eyes glowed softly.

“We’re looking forward to it too, Lord Kael.”

Ming’s eyes sparkled as she added, “I’m always excited for Lord Kael’s food! Hehe!”

Kael smiled at their eager expressions, wrapped an arm around the waist of Professor Lucia who had drawn close, and began gently kneading her breasts. The resilient texture transmitted through the robe teased his fingertips.

“After the meal, we’re going straight into sex, Lucia,” Kael whispered in a low voice before pressing his lips to hers. Professor Lucia’s soft, warm mouth met his. Her sweet body scent brushed the tip of his nose.

“Mmmph…” Even at the sudden kiss, Professor Lucia accepted it quietly, her eyes fluttering shut. Kael’s lips explored hers, then delved deeper into her mouth. She answered by lightly extending her tongue. When the kiss finally broke, she bowed her head respectfully and replied to what he had said before it.

“Yes, Lord Kael.”

Kael gave a satisfied grin at her answer and moved on to Ring and Ming. He slipped his hands beneath the sisters’ short blue skirts and gently stroked the fabric of their panties.

“Haa…” A lewd moan slipped from Ring’s lips. Her brown eyes grew slightly hazy.

“Mmph… Lord Kael…” Ming trembled with a small, sweet whimper.

“Looks good, doesn’t it? You always make my mouth water the moment I see you. Both of you look appetizing no matter how many times I stare.”

Ring’s face flushed crimson and she smiled shyly. “Hehe… Lord Kael, really… When you praise us like that… it makes me so embarrassed…”

“Haan… Lord Kael is always so magnificent! Thank you for thinking we’re delicious! Hehe~”

The Ring and Ming sisters were still visibly delighted by his words. Satisfied with their reactions, Kael settled onto the sofa.

“All right, everyone sit down. I’ll prepare a delicious dinner.”

At his command, Professor Lucia, Ring, and Ming promptly took their seats. Professor Lucia naturally chose the spot beside him, and Kael casually rested a hand on her thigh. Because her skirt was quite long, he had to grasp and lift the fabric with deliberate effort.

“You should wear shorter skirts. Why put on something this long and annoying?”

“I’m sorry, Lord Kael. Gulp!” Professor Lucia bowed her head politely in apology. Yet she was swallowing hard, trembling with excitement at the thought of the dinner he would provide. Even now, notifications kept rising before Kael’s eyes.

The students’ exclamations while eating the frankfurter sausage sticks were all being recognized as praise, adding to his points and experience. With one hundred and ninety-seven students chattering away, his experience had already piled up this much. On top of that, the spark he had thrown out had sparked debates about whether to eat only fifty percent or split it evenly among everyone. Each time someone offered high praise for the sausage, it registered as praise for him and increased his experience and points.

‘It didn’t recover the points I spent, but the experience is steadily accumulating, so a level-up should come soon.’

Kael decided to feed the three something good. It would serve as a reward for Professor Lucia and a commemoration for Ring and Ming, whose anal passages would be opened for the first time tonight.

‘Cooking it myself would be a hassle, so instant food it is.’

Having decided to handle proper cooking later, Kael purchased four instant pork cutlets, four packs of instant rice, and four Caesar salads.

Four servings of instant pork cutlet, four servings of rice, and four servings of Caesar salad appeared on the table one after another. The pork cutlets were wrapped in crisp, golden breading. The accompanying dark sauce was still warm. The rice shone with a pure white luster, warm steam rising from the perfectly heated grains. The Caesar salad combined fresh romaine lettuce, crunchy croutons, powdered Parmesan, and creamy dressing in perfect harmony.

Professor Lucia gazed at the pork cutlet with curious eyes and asked, “Lord Kael, is this… fried meat?”

“That’s right. It’s pork cutlet. You can look forward to it.”

Kael picked up a fork and knife to demonstrate. He sliced the cutlet, drizzled sauce over it, then speared a piece and ate it. The crisp breading shattered with a rich, savory aroma of oil, while the tender, well-marinated pork melted in his mouth. There was no gamey aftertaste; the quality was on an entirely different level from the meat of this world. He also scooped up a spoonful of rice. Rice was fairly unfamiliar to the people of this world, yet it did exist here.

‘The only problem is that it’s usually poorly milled.’

In his previous life, people often mistook poorly milled rice for brown rice. Modern brown rice, however, was milled just enough with advanced technology while preserving the germ, resulting in a taste that could not be compared to the old, badly processed grains. On top of that, extreme selective breeding had made the rice itself far more flavorful than ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠before. The miserably milled rice of this world was something one only needed to taste once before never wanting it again. It truly felt like chewing sand. While Kael had eaten proper rice from lunchboxes for several days, Ring and Ming likely did not even know it existed. Professor Lucia would only know of it from books.

‘Yeah, this is how it’s supposed to taste.’

Kael looked at Ring and Ming. As commoners, they were clumsy with knives and forks. So he personally cut their pork cutlets into easy-to-eat pieces.

“Thank you for cutting it for us, Lord Kael.”

“Thank you, Lord Kael! Hehe~”

The sisters beamed. Their minds seemed completely occupied by anticipation for the pork cutlet.

The three of them began to eat. Professor Lucia took the first bite of pork cutlet. The crisp breading shattered inside her mouth, spreading a rich, savory aroma of oil. The tender texture of the pork—something the great mage from a noble family ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠had never experienced in her lifetime—melted on her tongue. It harmonized perfectly with the sweet-and-savory sauce, filling her entire mouth. The sauce blended with the meat juices to deliver an intense jolt to her taste buds.

Professor Lucia’s sky-blue eyes widened, flooding with ecstasy.

“This… this is…”

She could not continue. Tears welled in her eyes. For decades she had survived on coarse black bread, dandelion roots, and nettles. Although ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠yesterday and the day before had been slightly better thanks to strawberry jam, butter, and cheese, those had not been proper meals. Had Kael not promised an even better dinner earlier, she would never have been able to endure the smell of the frankfurter sausage sticks. She had held on only because she knew something greater awaited.

Yet the flavor of this pork cutlet surpassed every imagination. The tenderness of the meat, the crunch of the breading, the umami of the ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠sauce completely captured her senses. The sensation flooding her mouth was so euphoric it felt like madness. It reminded her of a distant past when she could freely enjoy meat and proper cooking. Even then, she had never tasted anything like this.

Tears finally spilled down Professor Lucia’s cheeks—tears of overwhelming emotion.

“Lord Kael… this is… too delicious. It’s so delicious I don’t even know what to say.”

Kael smiled and stroked the bare skin of her thigh.

“Good. From now on you’ll be able to taste meals like this every evening. So eat plenty.”

“Yes!”

Professor Lucia ate the rice together with the pork cutlet. The soft texture of the warm rice harmonized beautifully with the savory flavor of the cutlet.

“Hup!”

Her eyes flew wide at the taste of the rice. In truth she had not expected much from it. She had thought the pure white color suggested it was properly milled, but the texture and flavor of the white rice far exceeded her imagination. The combination with the pork cutlet in particular was shockingly perfect.
