Chapter 606 - Ah, Delicious Caffeine!
-----
[Day 229]
Today in the morning, Benladra woke us up by flying out of the cradle and jumping over our us like a meteor. And because she got some pretty hard scales around her arms and legs, it really hurt.
CLAAASH!
"UWAH!"
Benladann was the first one to react aggressively to this, she almost jumped out of the bed in surprise, Benladra had really just surprised us greatly with this morning welcome… It was over the top, but my daughter had always been over the top, I guess.
"Ouch… Benladra did you had to drop on us like a meteor?" I asked.
"Baba! Papa!" she said cutely.
"Okay, another day, here we go…" sighed Benladann, as she hugged our daughter and kissed her forehead.
This was the life of a married couple with a baby. What a shift from those years of hunting and eating… well, it is not something I dislike. I am willing to become the best father this girl could ever find.
"Cheer up, dear, want some warm tea? I think we could try out that coffee we got, which is more like those roasted seeds." I said.
"Hmm, sure, I am up for it, bring me breakfast!" said Benladann.
"Oi, you're ordering me around again?" I sighed.
"Hehe, you're my dragon guardian, move!" said Benladann, ordering me around as if she owned me.
Seriously what does this girl think she is?!
Ah, I still love her and Benladra… and honestly speaking, I am happy to serve them and make them happy.
Have I become the servant of my wife and my daughter? A man that had been stripped off his manhood to serve his beloved family members?
Well, first of all, that concept is pretty wrong, when you serve and adore your own family members, it is not something bad or stupid, it makes sense, Benladann is my wife and Benladra my daughter, why wouldn't I treat them with special benefits?
If it were any other woman randomly, then it would be weird, even a friend might be weird too, but my wife and daughter? They're my queens, so I am willing to serve them happily.
I've always disliked when fathers in the family are distant from their own family members, just because they're male it doesn't mean they have to lose their sensitiveness as people and don't show affection towards their family.
My adoptive father was always open with his feelings and more, but… the other people that I met before was always quite awful and… Ah, I don't want to remember that.
Anyways, I don't really want to ever be a father like that, because those are always the ones that end with dramas with their children when they grow up and they don't love them back for never being affectionate to them.
In fact, they might even end up hating them or resenting their own parents.
Imagining Benladra hating me as she grows older is the worst nightmare I could have ever imagined in my life, so I don't want that… I have to be a nice father that is closer to his daughter, so I can immediately tell if she ever has a problem with me or something!
…
I should calm down my thoughts, well, I often begin thinking a lot while I cook.
Today in the morning I decided to make what's called Habu seed.
It is a special seed we found in the? Winter Lotus Sect.
It has a similar taste than coffee, and it is harvested from a purple fruit that grows around the sect.
It is very bitter when roasted, but that's the point of it, it warms the body and fills it with energy.
I think it has caffeine as well, but I have yet to completely confirm it, but I would assume that it does have caffeine, which is nice, caffeine-rich drinks are what I needed.
They're very rare though, so we are growing them out in large quantities now using nature and life magic helpers. A few of my clones are there working on them as well, using most of my skills and mana to nourish the plants so they grow big and strong.
The fruits are not tasty and seem to be quite bad, the seed is where its important.
Coffee has been a staple in my previous world, Earth. It is something that everyone drinks in their daily lives, and it has spread at every corner of the world widely.
There is nobody that doesn't know what coffee is, and it is one of those special drinks that have quite literally changed the world, it is often related to the working class, as they had to drink coffee to fill themselves with energy to work early in the morning.
The power of coffee is almighty, and therefore, I really wanted some. Coffee has always been my favorite warm drink before even hot cocoa.
Oh right, Rakasha said there was chocolate in Midgard, we really have to hurry up and cross to another continent!
These roasted seeds are pretty good, and they make an amazing warm drink that really wakes you up for real, so I quickly took the powder I had saved and poured it over some warm water, I added some milk to the one Benladann drinks because she likes it with milk. And then, two spoons of sugar for each one.
Hmm, the smell is just like coffee, if not a bit more citric. It is not exactly the same as coffee, there is a distinct citric flavor and smell to it that makes it a more unique flavor than normal and old plain coffee that you always buy in the supermarket back on Earth.
Alongside that, I also packed a lot of food over a plate and quickly moved back to our room, as we enjoyed the delicious coffee-like drink to have more energies for today.
After that, we took a quick bath together while Miranda was taking care of the baby.
