Food Art

It took Kat about an hour to get the skills and level them to one. She then tried the soft steps. At first, she decided to do the whole foot. Then she thought it was a waste of mana. She concentrated on only her soles. This took less mana, and it worked better. She checked her status.

She looked at her status noticed the ones to work on next. {Mimicry and Traps art, I don't think I want those. I'm not planning on going into a dungeon. Mimicry is such a worthless skill. The only thing it useable for spying.} Kat entered the library and found everyone.

"Kat, are you done already?"(Sophia)

"Yes, I'm done. Martha, Do you think I need Mimicry and traps art?"(Kat)

"Not really. You can still learn them even though you changed your métier. The skills are just guides. Goddess picked skills that a huntress would want to learn. In the old days, hunters and huntresses would trap lots. There would be a few per village to supply the whole village of meat. Traps were used a lot, Not anymore."(Martha)

"Do dungeons have traps?"(Kat)

"Kat, do you know precisely what a dungeon is?"(Sophia)

"I only know that it's a maze that contains beasts. Adventures go there to hunt, and it replenishes with more beasts."(Kat)

"What you said is true. It's more than that. To explain it, I'll need to tell you about the mana crystals. Every living thing contains a small mana crystal. The mana crystal holds our mana in a liquid form. If the mana crystal gets eaten, your body doesn't absorb it. The only thing that absorbs mana crystals is plants. If a plant absorbs for a lot of years, the tree turns into a treant. No one knows the exact years required. It is known that a treant has a mana crystal. The size is from thumb to fist size.

A mad magician believed that the plants fuse the crystals. Through alchemy, he merged the crystals into a giant crystal. This was a significant breakthrough for the alchemist. Then one day, the mad magician created a giant crystal. Then through enchantment incantation, he created the dungeon. The crystal in a dungeon is called a dungeon core.

The dungeon core purpose is to summon beasts from around the area into the dungeon; it became a problem. The dungeon set up two types of beasts that were natural enemies to kill each other in the same cell.

After the dead beast decay, the dungeon core would collect the mana crystal and fuse it to itself. It would continue growing so it could control more beasts and summon them from a further distance.

All the kingdoms band together to destroy all the dungeons this mad man placed. Years later, they found a few; they grew too big. When they entered the dungeon, they found monsters have never seen before. They are called golems. From where is the dungeon summoning the monsters? We don't know. We also don't understand why. Some believe that God changed the dungeon so it won't kill off the beasts. It turned out useful. Now the dungeon is only a mine. Because it's easy to get a metallic golem the size of this room, different types of metals are very cheap.

We could tell the story about the prince was fake because where would it summon alcohol. I got to admit it's pleasant and close to reality.

I don't expect you, Kat, to tell me all your secrets. I know you want to join us for education. I started to like you, so I want you to understand what is going on. In this kingdom, I'm a commoner. In my old kingdom, I was a princess. What do you think about this?"(Sophia)

"The dungeons creation was crazy and stupid. I wouldn't make them."(Kat)

"That's not what I'm asking! I'm a princess, do you understand!"(Sophia)

"Oh, do I need to bow now that you became a princess? Are you going to teach me still how to cook?"(Kat)

"Sophia is not talking about that. I think it's ridiculous that a princess even cooks."(Hana)

"I got a true story for you. Hana, you will change your mind."(Kat)

"Long time ago, someone wrote a book of fiction. In the book were devices; people wished they were real. The book wasn't about the devices.

One device was called the automobile. The name means moves on its own. It was a carriage that travels without horses. The driver controls go, stop, and the direction it travels.

The other device was a long-distance communication device. There were different types of devices in this book. This book brought others to dream of different possibilities.

A storage device stores greater size objects then itself. Imagine a small carriage. You open a door, and inside is larger than the outside—a castle inside a carriage.

Three Kings got together and talked about it. King A said," If we have the carriage, we could pack it with troops. Then drive it into the other kingdoms center and take it by surprise." King B said," True, but to pull it, we need the automobile." King C said," To accomplish this, we need a union school of three kingdoms. The school's goal is to create this. Don't forget about the communication device."

The three kings created a school for the three kingdoms' nobility and royalty. One year later, the three kings had a meeting at one of the castles. They complained about spending money without anything to sell.

The butler dared to step in their conversation; he pointed out that the commonwealth made everything in the castle. It would help if you had the commonwealth to make things.

The kings' eyes opened up. Then they made the commonwealth to join this school. It took years to start getting results. The kings expected that it would. What they didn't expect is the results were not on what they wanted.

The commonwealth concentrated on food, music, alcohol, dancing, and anything that a commoner thought was worthwhile. For music, they created different instruments. This created different styles of music. I wasn't into alcohol, so I don't know the different types. The music changed, so did the dancing changed.

The nobility was into art like sculptures and paintings. I don't even know how it started. I'm guessing that a commoner decided to join art with food.

The food art was created and turned into messages. You make a potato salad; place it in a square container. On top of the salad, you place sculpted lips out of a pickle. You give this container to your boyfriend. You didn't just cook for him, but also sent him a message. The message is that you gave him a kiss. If he eats it all, he excepted the whole kiss.

A noble girl found out about this message the commonwealth was sending. She asked the best student cook to make one for her to give to her boyfriend. The girl looked at her and said, "you want to pay me to flirt with your boyfriend? I'm not going to do it. I personally don't like your boyfriend that way."

She got mad that a commoner would deny her. She looked at a male commoner and asked what he thought. He said," If your boyfriend told me- tell my girlfriend I love you. Then I walked up to you and said, "I love you." I said exactly what he asked. It's just different meaning then what he wanted. That's precisely what you want to be done. I suggest not doing it."

She then decided to ask the same girl the refused her to teach her how to do it. This, the girl agreed and did it for free. She made the potato salad with a kiss and gave it to him. She even explained to him that she made it.

He ate the whole thing. He got home and complained to his butler that his girlfriend was acting strange. The butler explained to him about food art; The butler was overjoyed because little master got his first food art kiss. He told him that it's art on emotions. Lips mean a kiss. Lightning bolt says I am so mad at you that I thought about putting poison in your food.

This got him curious about food art. He decided to investigate it. A boy that was sitting next to him got one. He asked to see it—the picture was of a grave. He accidentally said, your girlfriend sure hates you. The boy said, "It's the opposite. You see, a year ago today is when my mother passed away. My girlfriend says she will support me and go together with me to my mother's grave to give our respects." Now he realized to give art food art; you need to know the receiver honestly.

The reason I know this story is true is that the sister of this noble told me. She took all those messages and created a business. Take potato salad; she sold it separate ingredients. All you have to do is mix them together. The lips pickles were precut. Her shop created precuts of different pictures. If he doesn't like potato salad, how about fruit salad?" (Kat)

"Then, How come you didn't learn how to cook?"(Hana)

"Why should I? There isn't anyone I love in this world. That said, I changed my mind. I may not cook for a loved one, but I do love myself enough to learn to cook for me. That is the only reason I asked to learn. On the note about Sophia being a princess, that doesn't matter. She will always be a caring, cute Sophia to me."(Kat)

"You don't care that I'm hiding what I'm?"(Sophia)

"I'll tell you my secret. I come from very far away. Goddess Elenora moved me instantly to this kingdom. She said to me that everyone that knew me had their memories of me expunged. Even my family name was removed. I'm pleased about it. Do you think negatively of me? Here is a girl who is happy to be away from home; so far, she could fly on a dragon and die before she gets home. It was the best gift someone ever gave me."(Kat)

"I'm glad and sad about it. I'm happy I got to meet you but sad that no one knows you before you turned 15 years old."(Sophia)

"Don't be sad. Elves live longer than humans. To lose 15 years is nothing. I'll make it up with happy times from now."(Kat)

"I think that because it's so far away, we could start this food art here. What do you think, Diana?"(Sarah)

"Not a bad idea, we need to experiment on it. Then pass this information to others."(Diana)

"We have to do an act to pass the information—someone talking about a princess from kingdom Dios is learning how to cook to make food art for her man. Then another asking about what is food art. This is going to be fun."(Sarah)

"What are you plotting? I feel a headache coming."(Hana)

"If we perfect it by next month, we could do our play in the capital. Kat needs to draw some clothing for a ball from her kingdom. Then have Martha make them.

Then Kat joins me as a guest. She could tip over the rumors to factual. She isn't keeping her school information secret; Kat could tell the nobles about her school.

This information would drive the nobles crazy. Kat only needs to tell the truth. It's driving me crazy. If those devices could be made, the kingdom would advance in strength."(Sarah)

"Just having communication devices would change everything. Guilds could talk instantly with each other. Villages can pass information to towns and cities. Scouts can tell the guild without needing to run back. Information gathering will become less of a pain."(Diana)

"Another kingdom figured out that it requires unity of more than one kingdom's nobility and commonwealth to make it happen; This fits our mission."(Sophia)
