Chapter 135: Blessings for a Beautiful Love
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Dark Demon put down the "Cow Rearing Manual" in his hand and carried the pot of Cow Grass to the table.
The structure of the Cow Grass was very similar to the traditional Catnip Grass; a vine-like stem extended from the tail and was then planted in a flowerpot.
According to Miss Cat, this Cow Grass had a very gentle personality, liked quiet, and didn't move much, so it was quite suitable for raising in a dormitory.
But if he wanted to ensure it could produce a cup of milk every day, he needed to continuously feed it a special potion.
The price of the potion was very similar to the one used for cultivating the bug-tree, about 30 credits a bottle, usable for a month.
With this, the credits Dark Demon spent on raising grass and trees each month were already a considerable amount.
Dark Demon reached his hand to the top of the Cow Grass's head, and the little cow raised its head and rubbed its round horns against his palm, appearing very docile.
This finally made Dark Demon less resistant to the idea of actually raising a cow in his dormitory.
He then began to try milking the little cow for the first time according to the instructions in the "Cow Rearing Manual."
Because the Cow Grass was docile enough, the whole process was quite smooth, and after milking it all, it was just enough for one cup.
The Cow Grass's juice was a natural milky drink, not only with few impurities but also with a natural fragrance.
Dark Demon dipped a finger to taste it; it felt like a fruit-flavored milk but wasn't that sweet.
Overall, if some sugar was added for flavor, it would be a very nice milky drink.
"So good."
Dark Demon patted the little cow on the head in praise.
He then took out [Shuckle] and activated a normal summon.
Next was the important part of appraising the value of the Cow Grass—to see if the Cow Grass's juice could be re-fermented as fruit juice?!
"Baji baji~"
The newly summoned [Shuckle] stretched its head out and rubbed against Dark Demon's hand. Dark Demon stroked its chin and neck back and forth, making it close its eyes in comfort.
Taking this opportunity, Dark Demon poured the cup of milk into the hole in Shuckle's shell.
In just under two minutes, the cup of milk was fermented.
Dark Demon placed the new milk on the table, summoned DemiDevimon on the side, and then used a silver spoon to scoop a small amount to feed it.
DemiDevimon opened its mouth and took a "smack," a look of wanting more appearing on its face.
"How is it?" Dark Demon asked with concern.
DemiDevimon shook its head: "The taste is okay, but I can't tell the specific effect, it's too little."
So Dark Demon scooped another spoonful and fed it: "Is that enough?"
DemiDevimon: "More, more."
Dark Demon: 䤥䤥¤
DemiDevimon: "More, more."
Dark Demon: 䤥䤥䤥¤
DemiDevimon: "More, more."
...
In a flash, half a cup of milk was gone, and DemiDevimon was still saying "More, more."
Dark Demon's face darkened, and he poked its mouth with the spoon, then picked up the cup and took a drink himself.
Instantly, an indescribable sweetness flowed into his heart, with both the mellow richness of milk and the refreshing taste of fruit, leaving an endless aftertaste.
Gradually, that aftertaste spread throughout his body, his heart stirred slightly, and his limbs, still sore from the high-intensity training, gradually regained some vitality.
Dark Demon suddenly understood that the effect of this milk was likely to replenish vitality!
Following the mana recovery of the blue fruit and the health recovery of the white dried fruit, a vitality-recovering juice had finally appeared!
This milk was clearly not for drinking before bed, but it was a good choice as a nutritional supplement after morning exercise.
...
Dark Demon drank the remaining milk in one gulp and, full of vitality, began the next experiment.
Basically, he needed to confirm that "flowering and fruiting" was not a patent of the Catnip Grass (Cat), only then could the research topic continue.
And confirming this was also very simple; just by feeding the Cow Grass a little [Great Sin], he could roughly see the effect.
So he carried the Cow Grass to the balcony, opened the protective railing of the bug-tree, and let the Cow Grass touch the bug-tree.
Two of the bug-branches in the bug-tree were in a semi-soft, semi-hard state.
One of the upper branches stored the remaining 1 point of [Pride].
And in a lower branch was the 1.5 points of [Lust] he had taken the opportunity to extract yesterday!
Since the goal was the [Fruit of Lust], he only let the Cow Grass suckle the branch containing [Lust].
[Great Sin] indeed possessed an extraordinary charm. The Cow Grass, after just a lick, became obsessed with the bug-branch, sticking out its small pink tongue and suckling hard.
"Meow!"
Dark Demon held onto the Catnip Grass that wanted to squeeze in, keeping it in his arms.
A few minutes later, a faint [Lust] emblem appeared on the Cow Grass's head, and a small bump grew out.
This instantly put Dark Demon at ease.
He then extracted today's 1.5 points of [Lust] and fed it through the bug-branch, causing the bump on the Cow Grass's head to sprout a small bud.
"Today is November 4th."
Dark Demon looked at the time, estimating the time for the next fruiting.
"Based on the efficiency of flowering at 6 and fruiting at 7, I still need 4 points of [Lust]. I can extract 1.5 points a day, so it will take three days, next Tuesday!"
With a faint sense of anticipation, Dark Demon, under the desperate gaze of the Catnip Grass, closed the bug-tree's protective railing again.
"Smack!"
...
Sunday morning.
Dark Demon planned his route, spent an extra fifteen minutes on a morning run, took a shower afterward, and then drank a cup of freshly squeezed milk, instantly feeling full of vitality.
At this time, DemiDevimon happened to deliver breakfast.
Dark Demon didn't go to the common room but ate and read the newspaper directly in his bedroom.
By the time he finished the newspaper, his hair was almost dry, just in time to welcome a new day with a fresh look.
Also from this afternoon, Dark Demon began to self-study "Magic Language."
His life became busy and fulfilling again.
The introduction to "Magic Language" wasn't too difficult, and Dark Demon's learning progress was quite smooth.
While students of the same age were playing chess, shopping, making trouble, and adventuring, he was constantly absorbing knowledge.
This thing called learning, if it was effective and one could clearly see progress, was actually very easy to get addicted to.
When you can find pleasure in learning, then learning and playing are no different.
...
That evening.
Good news finally came from the castle.
The seven couples whose emotions and memories had been partially absorbed by the Moon Goddess had finally made a full recovery under the careful treatment of Sister Carian!
The seven pairs of men and women who walked out of the infirmary, upon learning that their love had been "certified by the goddess" in a roundabout way, were all moved, and the feelings between them naturally deepened.
Originally, love in one's student days focused more on the "present" and lacked consideration for the "future," thus making it difficult to last.
Even if they truly liked each other at first, it was easy to doubt themselves and each other for various reasons later on, causing the relationship to gradually deteriorate and eventually lead to a breakup.
This experience, for them, was like a reassurance, perhaps helping them to truly go the distance.
"A blessing in disguise, perhaps."
Sister Carian leaned against the door, offering an adult's blessing for this beautiful love.
