Alter Dimension: Lucky Dungeon Master

Chapter 158  Bokunat Village's Feast

The bright moon hung high in the sky, shining down the world with its soft and gentle light.

The weather is great today and countless stars can be seen in the sky.

They are sparkling like the most precious gem known to man.

The people of Bokunat Village have finished preparing everything needed for the feast and gathered at the center of the village.

At this time, Alex, who's accompanied by the village head, along with the kids, walked towards a small platform that acts like a stage.

All the villagers' attention immediately focused on Alex when he appeared.

They all looked at him with bright expectant eyes that also filled respect and even a hint of worship.

Seeing it, Alex knows that this isn't just because he saved this village before.

From the way they are acting, it's very obvious that they've been affected by his high Charisma stats.

At this time, the village head stepped forward at the stage and looked at all th3 villagers below.

"Everyone," he said, instantly gathering the eyes of the people to him.

The village head continued, "Today, our savior has graced us with his presence. So, to express our gratitude, this feast was prepared in his name."

"Now, let our benefactor speak to us."

The people cheered and they turned their eyes back to Alex.

Alex was surprised a bit by this but jusy shook his head and replaced the village head in front of the stage.

He looked at the crowd for a while before opening his mouth.

Alex said, "Everyone, tonight we are gathered here to enjoy and have fun."

"I know that a lot of you have been through a lot specially the bandit attack from last time."

"So, tonight, have fun and release all your stress."

"Now, without further ado, let's start the feast!"

"Wooohooo!"

Along with the cheers of everyone, bottle of alcohol were opened.

Without hesitation, the villagers started the feast.

Seeing that, Alex looked at the village head and the kids, and said, "How about we go down there and join them?"

The village chief nodded and said, "Yes, please head there and have some food, Savior."

Suddenly, Alex sighed, "Village head, please stop calling me savior savior. Just call me Zero."

Hearing that, the village head looked at Alex and seemed to want to argue.

But when he saw the serious look on Alex's face, he stopped.

"Alright, then let's go there and eat as well."

Alex, Angelica and her brother, and the village head went to a table After a few seconds, he gave up and said, "If that is what you want, then I'll follow you, Mr. Zero."

Alex smiled in satisfaction.

"Alright, then let's go there and eat as well."

Alex, Angelica and her brother, and the village head went to a table and sat down.

Seeing Alex, the villagers chatted with him from time to time before immediately leaving after seeing him eating.

For a while, the feast continued and everyone was just having a good time.

At some point in time, Nene, the daughter of the village head, came to Alex's table and joined them.

However, Nene is a very shy girl so she didn't talk that much with Alex.

But thankfully, there is Angelica, who is also a girl, and the two of them became close to each other and became friends.

So, while they are eating, the two manage to become friends.

Alex watched everything on the side with a gentle smile on his face.

In his head, he thought, 'I should try to let them get to know more people around their age. That will be beneficial to their growth.'

With that in his head, Alex started thinking about other things.

The feast continued until midnight before everyone went back to their own houses.

As for Alex and the kids, the village head cleaned one of the empty houses in the village to let them rest there.

Just like everyone, Alex and the kids also went back to their place to rest.

A silent and peaceful night passed by without anything happening and the sun gradually rose up to the sky.

Cock-a-doodle-doo!

From the nearby mountain, the cries of wild chickens have already started echoing.

Passing through the window, the gentle morning sunlight shines down on Alex's face, waking him up.

"Ugh…"

Alex slowly opened his eyes before using his hand as a shield from the sunlight.

Alex sat up on the bed and looked around the room.

The room in this house is quite spacious and there are two big beds.

Alex is sitting on one while the other is where the kids are sleeping.

After looking around, Alex's eyes landed on the four kids on the bed and muttered, "I should go and cook breakfast before they wake up."

Getting up from his bed, Alex folded it up before he went out of the room.

But to his surprise, Alex saw someone in the kitchen wearing an apron, cooking!

Confused, Alex approached the figure and asked, "Uhm, excuse me? What are you doing here?"

Hearing Alex's sudden voice, the unknown figure was startled and let out a cute cry.

"Kyah!"

Because of this, Alex was surprised as well and hurriedly backed away.

Then, after a few seconds, the unknown figure seems to have recovered and slowly turned around to look at Alex.

When he saw the face of the figure, Alex finally realized her identity.

"Nene? What are you doing here?"

That's right, the one cooking in their kitchen is actually Nene, daughter of the village head.

Seeing Alex looking at her, Nene felt shy and timidly said, "T-that…

father told me t-to cook you guys some breakfast…"

Alex paused before letting out a sigh.

"Hais, why did he have to do something unnecessary."

Alex could only shake his head in helplessness at this.

Seeing that the expression on Alex's face doesn't look good, Nene didn't know what to do.

But then, in the corner of her eyes, she saw the foods that she cooked.

She picked up those plates and said, "U-uhm, here are the foods that I prepared. I hope you guys find it to your liking."

Saying that, Nene didn't wait for Alex to reply before placing those plates on the table.

Seeing all this happen, Alex knows that there's nothing he can do about it.

In the end, he could only give up.

Walking to the table, Alex took a seat and looked at the foods that Nene cooked.

Appetizing dishes are served on the table one after another.

There is soup, bread, boiled egg, etc.

All the foods that Nene prepared are perfect for breakfast.

Even the bread she placed on the table was cooked by her!

Alex stared at it for a while before turning his eyes to Nene and asking, "Are you sure everything here was prepared by you?"

Nene seemed confused by Alex's question and tilted her head, saying, "Eh? Yes, everything was cooked by me."

"W-why? Is there something w-wrong with it?"

Alex didn't answer immediately which made Nene worried.

Just when Nene was feeling nervous, Alex opened his mouth at this time and said something that made Nene breathe a sigh of relief.

He said, "No, there's nothing wrong with it. I'm just surprised by your great skills in cooking."

Alex turned his head to Nene and looked at her, saying, "I feel my appetite rising just by seeing and smelling the food you made."

His words made Nene happy and a smile formed on her face.

"T-thank you, S-savior!"

When Alex heard the name Nene called him with, he stopped for a moment before calmly saying,

"Just like I told your father last night. Please stop calling me savior and just call me by my name, Zero."

"Ah! Okay, Mr. Zero."

Alex nodded in satisfaction.

Then, beckons at Nene and said, "Come, take your seat now. Since the kids are still sleeping, let the two of us eat first."

Hesitation appeared on Nene's face, unsure whether she should sit down or not.

But seeing Alex beckoning at her, Nene decided to go along and sit down.

In a reserved manner, Nene sat down on an empty chair in front of Alex.

Alex smiled at Nene and said, "Let's eat."

"O-oum!"

The two started eating their breakfast unhurriedly.

Alex savored the light taste of the soup that was cooked by Nene and felt light in the stomach.

"Wow, your food doesn't only look good but it also tastes great!" He commented.

Being praised by Alex, Nene felt a little shy, "Thank you, S- Mr. Zero."

After that, the two continued eating for a while until they were done with breakfast.

"Ugh, that was such a warming breakfast. Now I feel full of energy to start the day!" Said Alex as he rubbed his full stomach.

Nene felt happy with his words and said, "I'm glad that it is to your liking, Mr. Zero."

Just as they finished eating, the door of the room opened and Angelica and her brothers came out.

When Alex saw that, he showed a warm smile, "Good morning, everyone."
