We moved forward with our plans and reached Ninhursag's tent, without thinking about going out for Pyuku, as although I was worried, I knew it would be fine as it is a pretty strong slime to be honest.

We reached Ninhursag's tent in an instant and we were greeted by the beautiful skin changer sleeping soundly below her blankets. Her body was quite big, so her foot was out of the bed… but she was still sleeping like nothing, even if the chilly air passed across her legs. I suppose she's quite resistant to temperatures changes, seeing how she probably lives, eats, and sleeps in the wild jungle.

"Ninhursag!" said Aquarina.

"Wake up already, it's around 11 Am!" said Zack.

"Hmmm? Ah! Eh?! Children… Oh, I slept here… right…" said Ninhursag.

She quickly tried to stand out of bed, but suddenly made a face of pain.

"Ouch… My entire body still hurts a bit…" sighed Ninhursag.

"You're still wounded from all the battles!" said Aquarina.

Ninhursag seemed pained by the wounds she had. Although they were recovering, her bones were broken a lot, and just yesterday many of her internal organs were also very damaged.

If it wasn't because my mother gave her a very intense healing session, she wouldn't be here to tell the tale, that's for sure. My mother is probably the greatest healer in the entire world, so as long as we are with her, we won't be dying any time soon.

However, the pain she felt was still there, and it ended making her muscles and bones pained for several hours, and probably days from now on, so she needs to slowly recover and rest for the moment.

pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ "Ouch… Ouch…"

She sighed as she sat over the bed, barely managing.

I don't remember her being so exaggerated yesterday, she was probably drugged by the potions they gave to her yesterday, so she didn't felt all the pain even when we hugged her and more.

"We brought you food… But are you sure you're okay? You seem way too pained… I am a bit worried myself." I said.

"Yeah children, I am doing okay, don't worry about this old woman…" sighed Ninhursag.

"You're clearly not okay! Is there some way to calm the pain you feel? Is your body really okay?" asked Zack.

"Yeah it should be, Faylen's healing is the best in the world, I think…" said Ninhursag.

"I guess… Anyways! Eat up so you can recover quickly! Mom said she used Cooking Magic on it, so it has special recovery effect!" said Aquarina.

"Oh, Cooking Magic?" asked Ninhursag.

"Hey, I didn't knew that existed either." I said.

"Me neither… What's that?" asked Zack.

"You don't know about Cooking Magic?!" asked Aquarina.

"I thought magic was all about the elements…" I said.

"Well, aside from elements there are many other branches of magic that combine the elements together into unique spells with amazing effects. Cooking Magic is one of them, I think! Or that's what mother told me…" said Aquarina.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

"Oh, I think I know about it a bit… It is what's called High Magic, or Compound Magic, whatever the name you want to give to these types of magic, they're not part of the main elements but made of them, they're made by wizards and then spread around through spell books and the like, not everyone can learn them because they need study and also the required elements to have already been learned to at least intermediate level." Said Ninhursag.

"You're pretty knowledgeable with magic…" I said.

"Well yeah I hunt in the outside but I've also had many other experiences in my life, I learned magic from various people around the territory, so I know a lot. What did you thought I was, some feral woman without a bit of knowledge about anything?" asked Ninhursag.

"No… Well, a bit, sorry for judging you…" I said.

"Well, I am glad that I can surprise you in this regard then." Said Ninhursag.

"So Cooking Magic is something that you use to cook food?" asked Zack.

"It doesn't sound very useful for anything else…" I said.

"Yeah, but cooking food is important. Food is what drives people, delicious food can change a person's entire day, you know? It all depends in what we eat. As they say, we are what we eat." Said Ninhursag.

"Yeah! Mommy uses spells to make the food extra tasty… She said that she learned it because her cooking was always bad compared to auntie Faylen." Said Aquarina.

After Aquairna dropped those words Ninhursag began to laugh out loud, it seemed she was close enough with them to laugh at them and joke about them leisurely.

"Pffff… Hahahaha! To be expected of my fellow Nepheline… She really likes to take shortcuts sometimes." Said Ninhursag.

"Oi! I heard you, Ninhursag!" roared Nepheline, as she rushed into the tent.

"Uwah! H-Hello there…" said Ninhursag.

"Mommy, you know Cooking Magic, right?" asked Aquarina.

"Ah… Well yeah, but Faylen is the one that taught it to me…" said Nepheline.

"My mother?" I wondered.

It seemed that it was my mother the one behind the Cooking Magic stuff I didn't even knew about. Has my mother always been using magic in the food? I really never noticed that! It is a bit interesting, so it picked up my curiosity.

"Yeah, your mother is the one that taught me… Cooking Magic can help people gain power from the meals they eat, and to even extract the essence out of it to reinforce yourself. You've all grown stronger thanks to the food you eat through Cooking Magic, it is a very important magic when raising children so they can be strong." said Nepheline.

"So there are such uses… I never thought that that was the reason why I got stronger by eating the dragon's meat…" I said.

"Oi! Don't talk so casually about eating my corpse!" cried Ignatius through telepathy.

"Hahaha! You got eaten?!" laughed Furoh.

"S-Shut up!" roared Ignatius.

"Yeah, that's pretty much the reason why you got stronger like that, and also Aquarina… And even Zack." Said Nepheline.
