Yuki only remained silent throughout their journey back to the Main Hall. Her quietness made her three Daughters and Asuka curious, but they never said anything about it because they also were now used to her quiet nature. Though they did feel something was wrong, they didn't exactly know what it was, so they only ignored it for now and would let Yuki talk about it if she wanted to. Once they finally arrived, the three Sisters said goodbye as they want to take a shower and get a set of new clothes because they were pretty sweaty, as for Yuki. She went straight into the kitchen along with Asuka, when she entered. She saw a large array of Ingredients on the table, there were a lot of kinds of meat that were very hard to come by, vegetables of all sorts, and many more. Seeing all of this, Yuki nodded which gave all of the Cooks inside to sigh of relief, it was good that they didn't disappoint their Master in doing the task that she have assigned to them.
"These are some good ingredients that you have found... There's even a Wyvern meat in here as well as the rare Maginsta Cabbage. All of it is good, as for a reward, all of you can take the whole day off, I will be the one who is cooking today." Yuki informed them. After saying all of that, she ignored them and was about to put on an apron to keep herself from getting dirty when she heard something drop behind her. Curiously looking behind her, she saw Asuka drop what she was holding earlier and since it was also holding the tea cups on top of it, it shattered to pieces.
"What are you doing?" Yuki asked as she sent out multiple Ice Fairies to begin cleaning up the mess that Asuka made by carrying them and putting them in the trash bin. After clearing up the shattered cups on the floor, Yuki slowly approached Asuka. When she stopped in front of her, she made a gesture with her fingers that Asuka easily understand. Bending her knees over so that she can be at eye level with Yuki, she nervously swallowed her saliva because she thought that she was going to get punished. The tea cups that she broke was not any normal one, it was custom-made for each of them. And there was no need to ask how much they were because it was made with shards of a Dragon.
"I'm sorry... Master. Please punish me for breaking the cups-," Asuka didn't finish her words when she felt a palm on her forehead. Opening her eyes, she saw Yuki's emotionless face that was checking her body seriously. This made her embarrassed because there was nothing wrong with her, the only reason that she dropped the cups is that she was too shocked to know that her Master will cook for the guest this time, she didn't expect her to have to ability to cook. She knows that her Master is lazy and would only move if needed, this is also the reason why she is the one who mostly handles the business all around the Mystic Dragon Heaven.
"I don't care about the cups, so don't worry about that but, you... You don't have any fever or any illness. What has happened to you, you usually don't drop anything and this is the first time. Is something on your head?" Yuki asked as she removes her hand from Asuka's forehead. She just send out a pulse of Profound Chaos all over her body to see if she has any illness, but she found nothing. So she thought that the problem was on Asuka's mind, no matter how many times she send Profound Chaos all over her body, there was no way for her to know what is wrong if it was emotional problems and not health.
"Ah, no! I'm completely fine... I was just, I'm sorry if I'm going to sound rude... But I was just surprised to hear that you will cook this time. I'm pretty sure that everyone didn't expect the Master to have the ability to cook." Asuka said what was on her mind. Her words were also the same as the other Servants, but they didn't dare to ask because they were only mere Servants, they don't have the power to question their Master.
"Is that fact that shocking? I can cook, but not confident that it will be as good as the Chefs here. Don't worry, I wouldn't even try to cook something super tasty, I only want to cook because of other reasons." Yuki said nonchalantly, she now understand why all of them were shocked. It was understandable why would they think that she has never cooked something in her life because someone her kind would have a servant to serve her. But it was the complete opposite back on Earth, she was the one who will cook for herself because she doesn't trust anyone who will cook for her, for the moment when she went out on a date, she still inspected everything even though it was her building. After solving the problem, she can finally continue in what she is about to do, and that was to cook the food.
She plans to make a lot of food because there are a lot of people that will come. That will include Mirel, and his two children, Aria, Sayaka, Rory, Ayame, and Serene. So there was a lot of work to do, luckily though it was still relatively early, as she said that they would meet in the nighttime and there were still 5 Hours before nighttime. But even with all of that time, there was no way that she can finish all of the food that she plans to cook, so to save time. She ordered all the Cooks to prep the ingredients under her command. She plans to make a huge meal, so to make all of it in a short time, she is going to make a family-style meal.
After 5 hours, they were finally done, all of the food was now ready to serve, but the people that were invited were not there yet. So, Yuki took this chance to take a bath to relax, she felt exhausted after cooking so much, and she even felt more tired. She didn't get tired when she was fighting with the Gods or anyone, she barely sweats. But this time was different, she was pretty exhausted, she would have never thought that cooking this much food would drain her so much, but it was going to be worth it. Even though she could have asked the Cooks to do it for her, so that it would be more delicious, she chose not to. As she finds that it lacking, she wanted to do it with her efforts and that is exactly what she did.
When she exits the Bath, she gets dressed in the clothes that Asuka chose for her. It was a simple yet elegant piece of Kimono, it didn't look childish in her figure. It complemented her looks, it enhances her beauty. Looking at the mirror for a few seconds, she nodded at silently praised Asuka for her eyes. She truly knows how to do her job properly, because she wouldn't even think of this kind of clothes herself. She truly picked the right person to be the main maid of the Villa and there were no regrets about her taking Asuka out of Aria's hands.
Yuki had just been informed by Asuka that the guests have finally arrived and wasted no more time she made her way to the Dining Room. She has already tasked the maid to set up the Dining Room, so the food was already there and with special Magic Crystals, the food will be warm at all times. Especially the soup that she has made, a soup is much better to drink when it is hot. Just as she entered, she was met with shocking eyes from all of the people inside, Yuki didn't pay attention to them as she was already tired of explaining that this is her current appearance, the only people who knew that it was her were her Parents.
"My daughter... Finally, I can see you again, I have missed you so much..." Ayaka was the first one to come up and hug Yuki's small body.
