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

Chapter 455: She Had It Planned

So good news… I managed to pull Amber away from there to somewhere more private before I gave her the honey she wanted so those three researchers never knew we were there.

Bad news… The three girls all wanted to join us for dinner and the guys overheard it and were trying to stop them from doing so.

I donʼt even know why they want to stop the girls from joining us since I wasnʼt there to hear their reasons as they five researchers went inside one of their rooms to argue… But my girls basically guessed that it was most likely either because the guys were jealous or they saw us as beneath them.

Either way, I still prepared more food than normal just in case the guys decided to join us and even if they didnʼt, I could just save the food as leftovers as supper for the girls.

And since I know them… Those leftovers would be gone even before the date changed.

Incidentally, the three girls showed up just as I was setting the table for dinner. This time, it was Lea that wasnʼt with us as sheʼs on the bridge making sure we were still on course.

I also noted that the two guys werenʼt with them so I guess they decided not to join us after all.

Amber grinned upon seeing that, ”Heh heh~ Just as planned~”

When I turned back to look at her, she pretended like she didnʼt say anything and was looking away while fiddling with her fingers.

ʼJust as plannedʼ? What the heck did she plan?

I stared at her but she refused to look at me so I guess I probably wouldnʼt be getting an answer out of her unless I ask her directly. And I wasnʼt going to do that while these girls were here.

The three of them sat themselves down at the table like obedient guests and watched me with sparkly eyes as I brought out the stew that I had made for dinner.

As Amber had requested, this was also made with synthfood ingredients instead of organic ingredients.

I thought that my girls might not like it as much since Iʼve been using organic ingredients all this while but they assured me that this was also nice and tasted different so itʼs unique in their own way.

But of course, when presented with the choice of whether they would rather eat my synthfood cooking or my organic cooking, they all preferred the organic choice.

But then they had to add that when they say that, they really meant that I use my ʼorganic fluidsʼ as the ingredients so I went ahead to give them all spanks for saying that.

And no, I did not use any in tonightʼs cooking either.

I placed the pot in the centre of the table and the newest female researcher to join us tilted her head at the sight of the potʼs contents.

”What is that?” She asked.

”That is something called stew, my dear~” Daisy gestured towards it with pride, as though she was the one who made it herself.

”And just so you know, she made it using synthfood ingredients,” Lanos continued, also looking just as proud despite the dark circles under her eyes.

The new girl turned to frown at Lanos, ”This was made using synthfood ingredients? Thereʼs no way! How does it smell so good then?! The synthfood Iʼve had the displeasure of coming across all smells like garbage!”

Amber puffed up her chest, ”Hu hu… Donʼt you get it? The only reason why this is possible is all because of our Captain, the one with the divine ability to make this!”

Mila turned to gasp at me, ”Ohhh! I see now! This all makes sense!”

All the girls at the table nodded as though they had just solved some kind of mystery.

Could you girls not talk as though I donʼt have my own thoughts or something?

Whatever…

I went ahead to start serving the food and gave everyone a bowl each.

When Milas received her bowl, she picked it up and immediately tried to bring it up to her mouth but Daisy suddenly slapped her arm and made her put down the bowl.

I raised an eyebrow at that since I knew the culprit behind such a thing.

The girls had made it a rule that I would get the first taste of the food I made since I was the one who made it and were quite insistent on it. Thatʼs why they would always wait for me to take the first bite before they would.

These three were supposed to be guests so they should have been exempt from this so called rules of theirs, which was why no one said anything when they started eating first during lunch.

But the fact that the two of them were also waiting patiently meant that Amber must have told them about the rule and made them obey it.

The fact that sheʼs smiling at me with that ʼpraise me, praise meʼ look just confirms it…

I donʼt even know why sheʼs so proud of this… But Iʼll keep my thoughts to myself…

Once I was done serving everyone, I took a spoonful of the stew and brought it to my mouth to taste.

Mmm… Yep, this is good.

The girls also quickly started eating their own stews and a chorus of moans echoed around the table.

”Ahhhnnn! Itʼs so good!”

”Ahhhh~ Itʼs so thick and creamy!”

”Mnngghh! What is this?! Itʼs so good! I canʼt have enough of it!”

”Ahhhaaaannn~ Itʼs filling me up so good~”

”Nyaaa~ Iʼm melting~”

”Mmm… This is truly bliss.”

You girls… Are you doing this on purpose?

Right as I thought of that, the door suddenly opened and the two men leapt inside the room.

”I knew it! You did something to our colleagues didnʼt you! Youʼre definitely rap-- Err… What?”

The lead guy had pointed an accusatory finger in our direction but stopped when he saw the scene in front of him.

I turned to look at him but the girls didnʼt even seem to notice him as they just continued to wolf down the stew in front of them.

”Ahhh!! This is too good!”

”I donʼt deserve such pleasureeeeee!!!”

”Iyaaaan~ I canʼt stop moving! Itʼs too good!”

”Ahhhh~ Ahhh~ Ahhh~ Teraʼs… Itʼs all going inside meeee~”

”Nyaaa~ I want seconds~”

”Mmm…”

Ok Amber, Iʼm about ninety percent sure you are intentionally making your words lewd…

I raised an eyebrow at the two newcomers, ”Can I help you?”

The guy at the front blinked at the girls for a good few seconds before he recovered his senses to shift his finger to me.

”You! Youʼve done something weird to them, havenʼt you?! Thereʼs no way those three would act like this! What did you do to them?!”

I waved my hands at him, ”I havenʼt done anything to them… Well… I guess if you count feeding them as something then that would be untrue I suppose?”

”I knew it! You fed them something weird! Some kind of drug right?! Do you think youʼll get away with this?! I have the whole thing recorded! Youʼre done!!”

I gestured at the pot, ”But all I did was cook some food? Thereʼs no drugs involved.”

”Like Iʼll believe that! Thereʼs no way anyone would become like that after eating some sloppy food made by some Outer Colonists! We have more refined tastes than that!”

Hmm… Wait… Is this part of Amberʼs plan too? She intentionally made the girls antagonistic towards the guys to draw them here so that they would also join in after tasting my cooking?

But why? Couldnʼt we have just taken them all to the station without involving them at all? Whatʼs the point of including them?

Oh… Hold on… Is this so that we would eliminate their position of authority? If we were to make these guys dependent on us instead… We would hold the bargaining chips on how things work on this ship instead of them?

Iʼm not sure if Amber really planned that far but you know what? Iʼm totally behind that plan since that would mean I donʼt need to worry about these two guys making a mess on my ship and Iʼll still get paid for escorting them~

I stood up from my seat and grabbed the ladle to scoop up another bowl of the stew to present to him, ”Why donʼt you give it a try before you say anything?”

He scowled, ”So you can get me addicted to the same drug as you did to them? Do you think Iʼm retarded or something?”

I waved the bowl at him, ”I can assure you that I used no drugs in making this. This is all just synthfood that I cooked to make this stew.”

He stormed up to me and I thought he might take that as a challenge but he backhanded the bowl out of my hand and caused it to fall onto the floor, spilling its contents.

”Ha?! You really think Iʼm that stupid to--”

He didnʼt get to say anything more because the three girls immediately knocked him down and started kicking him.

”Unforgivable! Unforgivable!”

”You dare waste that precious food?!”

”That bowl of stew is worth more than your miserable life!”

Err… Can you three calm down?

Wait, Ries?! Donʼt lick the stew off the floor!! Iʼll get you another one!! Stoooop!!
