What Do You Mean I'm The Captain Of A Yandere Mercenary Company?

Chapter 803: We’re Betting On When She’s Taking Over The Kitchen

Well... Whatever happens, happens, I guess?

That’s why I decided to stop worrying about the fact that we beat up that guard and followed my girls to the mess hall again.

I did ask about what they did before they got here but Amber just smiled at me and told me not to ask and that was it.

I decided to take her advice and didn’t question it as we entered the still surprisingly packed mess hall.

Since it was already late afternoon, I would have thought that the place would be empty by now.

Then again... I guess in space, there’s not really an ’afternoon’ to begin with...

I guess people here work around the clock so there’s always a need for food to be available here.

”What do you think the food here is going to taste like?” I asked.

”I have a hundred Credits saying that you will be commandeering their kitchen tonight Mistress,” Lea announced in a deadpan voice.

Really?

”Come on... It’s the Inner Colonies... Surely it can’t be that bad, right?” I pointed out.

”For the record, I also bet the same,” Mara volunteered.

Great... So the former noble who has eaten Inner Colony noble food before also thinks so...

I gave them a pointed look, ”Is there anyone who bet that I wouldn’t?”

Amber giggled, ”Ehehehe~ We all bet that you will definitely take over the kitchen, Tera~ The only difference is when you would do it~ For the record, I bet that you would do it right after tasting lunch~”

I’m glad that I’m sooooo predictable to you girls I guess...

Putting that aside, we went over to the row of counters that allowed us to place our orders for food.

This place functioned like a cafeteria where there’s multiple different stalls that each offered a different kind of food.

Seems like we would still need to pay for our own food here but it’s discounted for staff at least... And it does seem like they were using organic ingredients for all the items on the menu without a single synthfood in sight.

After spending so much time in the Outer Colonies, this felt especially surreal.

Particularly when I see the prices of the organic food being sold here being comparable to the prices of synthfood sold in the Outer Colonies.

And the thing was that these were actually normal foods.

By that, I mean that they weren’t serving overly complicated organic food and marketing how luxurious it was. Instead, these were basically similar to the synthfood that are being sold in the Outer Colonies except these were all organic food instead.

Looking at the menu that was displayed on the board, I decided to just take one of the simpler options first.

Thus, I went for just a simple bowl of noodles which I’m pretty sure would be quite hard to screw up...

Incidentally, the cooking style for the stall I ordered my food from was similar to eastern cooking methods in my old universe.

The noodles came out to be relatively thick and springy. They were dropped inside a bowl of what smells like chicken broth and also topped with actual chicken.

It’s basically chicken noodles.

The rest also got their own food and proceeded to find a place where we could take a seat to enjoy the food.

At least... I hope we will actually be enjoying the food...

We got a place at one of the long tables and I sat down on the bench before taking a look at the bowl of noodles in front of me.

Picking up the chopsticks that they had given me, I tried to pick up several of the noodles, lifting it up above the bowl before I realised everyone was just staring at me, waiting for me to take the first bite.

Really? They’re already waiting to see what my reaction would be after tasting the noodles so they would know if the food they got was worth it or not.

Well... I guess here goes nothing...

First thing’s first... The noodles do feel springy at least so there shouldn’t be a problem with the texture.

I then gave the noodles a whiff and... Well... It sure does smell like chicken noodles at least ?

I then decided this was enough stalling and opened my mouth before bringing that bunch of noodles past my lips.

The girls watched as I slurped up the noodles, getting a good taste of the broth and chewed on the noodles.

Hmm...

The girls all stared at me in anticipation, even leaning out of their chairs to stare at me.

I let out a sigh, ”It’s... Edible.”

Amber leaned a little closer, ”But?”

”But... Well... It’s definitely not delicious of course. Comparing it to Merina’s cooking... It’s definitely inferior.”
