Strongest in DxD - Chapter 37

Jalter recognized Ren's desire for revenge, the same one she once had for the French bastards.

A desire she did everything to slake, and her master seemed to be going down the same path.

Jalter had already gotten his revenge against France and saw them all burn, but even after that she only felt an empty hole in her heart and without enough reason to exist, since the revenge she so longed for before didn't exactly bring her pleasure. .

Jalter didn't really seek redemption for his sins, that wasn't it.

But now the Dragon Witch had gained a new purpose, she would loyally serve Ren and help him when he completes his revenge, but she would also be there with him in case he felt the same emptiness as she did.

Obviously she will never say that to him or anyone else and will kill anyone who tries to say something like that.

"He is truly worthy of being our master," said Gilgamesh in a mysterious tone of voice.

All the servants turned to the golden servant.

The King of Uruk had a huge smile on his face as he looked longingly in his eyes at his raven-haired master.

What ferocity! What a clear conviction! What unshakeable determination! What overwhelming power! This was a man whose value exceeded a thousand men or more.

The King of Heroes' eyes gleamed with immense interest and desire towards his master.

Only that man redeemed this whole rotten world in his eyes.

He really was a worthy master of hers.

"Then I think I'm a worthy master," Ren said approaching with Scathach and Arturia beside her.

"Yes, very suitable," said Semiramis smiling and nodding along with Okita.

"Next time I will win master" said Arturia smiling while even Scathach had a smile.

"I say the same," Scathach said with Ren smiling.

"Next time you will fight me master" said Jalter with Ren waving and smiling.

"A truly worthy master," said the King of Heroes, grinning predatorily at Ren.

The Sekiryuutei had a shiver running down his spine at that point.

All the servants and the master smiled at each other.

They couldn't wait to see what adventures they would have.

...

...

Some time later.

Soon after his battle with his servants, Ren and his new mates returned to the house and Ren undid his Balance Breaker with [Dimension Lost].

He had been asked by his servants about everything from the world to his Sacred Gear, which he had no problem answering.

He calmly explained each of the Longinus, especially his own, although Ren didn't tell them about his Balance Breaker as they wanted to keep it a secret.

Needless to say, his servants were extremely shocked to discover the Longinus' power and ability, they could be considered Noble Ghosts for all their abilities.

During the conversation the servants also managed to gain a sense of their master's personality.

He was very calm and kind to them explaining everything calmly and being extremely polite, they couldn't help comparing him to the stories of Prince Charming.

But they all realized that underneath all that good personality was a terrifying monster lurking, someone so evil it was surprising he could be called "human."

But it was as they said; a human's curse and hatred may be superior to that of the gods.

After that Ren also explained to them about some of his powers like the [Sharingan] and the abilities of the [True Longinus] among other abilities.

Currently, everyone was gathered around a table, each in their own thoughts.

Scathach was sitting in a chair while hers Gae Bolg had been dismissed and she remembered her fight with Ren and where she went wrong and how to get better.

Beside her was the Knew Queen of Assyria who had a spellbook in her hand, which had been borrowed by Ren, and was analyzing the magic of this world.

Okita was sitting to the side while she had a cup of tea in her hand, the Gyokuro tea, one of Japan's famous Mayans, and she was enjoying it calmly.

Arturia and Jalter were lying on the sofa nearby as they talked, the two of them had a very good tune for two people who had just met.

Gilgamesh, on the other hand, was sitting at one end of the table while she was no longer wearing her golden armor, but a white T-shirt and black pants that she had taken from Ren, and no one knew why.

All were enjoying the place, it was kind of strange to have so many other servants by their side but each one got used to it, minimally and were waiting for their meal.

After the fight Ren had said he would make something for everyone to eat, and although they didn't need to, they admitted they were curious to know how their master cooked, since in their age it was always the women who did it.

They all couldn't help but widen their eyes as an extremely delicious scent entered their noses.

From the kitchen, Ren emerged carrying dozens of dishes, most of which were being held by hands made of darkness as far as they could tell.

Everyone quickly arranged themselves in their respective seats, and Jalter and Arturia went to the table.

Everyone couldn't help but drool at the sight of the food being served.

In front of Arturia there were several dishes such as fish breaded with potatoes, sausage, black pudding (a kind of chorizo, it's made with lard and pork blood), fried egg, fried tomato, bacon, sautéed mushrooms and baked beans with tomato sauce , various types of meat and dozens of other typical foods from England.

In front of Okita were dishes like Agenomo, Gyudon: seasoned beef, Yakitori: chicken skewers, Nikujaga: beef stew, Sashimi (raw meat and fish),

Shikasashi: Venison sashimi, Sushi (seasoned rice balls) and many other typical Japanese dishes.

For Scathach they had several typical Irish dishes such as Dublin Coddle: Its main ingredients are potatoes, bacon and smoked sausage.

Semiramis had typical Assyrian foods, which she didn't know as her master knew and Gilgamesh typical foods from Babylonian times and Jalter had typical foods from France.

When everyone took the first bite they sighed in wonder at the taste of the food.

"Your food is amazing master!" said Arturia ecstatically as she quickly ate everything.

It was as they said; the Dragon is a glutton.

Jalter and Okita couldn't help nodding in agreement, but they didn't speak as their mouths were full.

"It's really wonderful" said Scathach amazed, she had never eaten such good food even in her millennia of age.

"I agree," said Semiramis as she sighed happily, surprising everyone with her joy.

"Thanks for the compliment," Ren said laughing.

If there was one thing he was as proud of as his power, it was his innate skill at cooking.

During his travels Ren had learned the most diverse types of food while always enjoying cooking.

Ren had also used Ddraig's power of boost to increase the flavor of the food.

Needless to say, the Celestial Dragon was not happy that his power could be used like that.

"Truly splendid master! When I return to my kingdom I will make you my personal cook," announced Gilgamesh proudly as he ate the finest food of his life.

"It's an honor," Ren said, bowing slightly and earning a smile from the golden servant.

All the others couldn't help but wonder how much patience their master had to put up with Gilgamesh like this.
