Shadow Slave
Chapter 964
Shockingly, nothing disastrous happened while Sunny slept. A Gate did not open in the middle of the supply depot, and a stray titan did not break through the blast doors to devour every last person under his protection. Somehow, the world did not collapse.
Instead, Sunny woke up to the sounds of peaceful conversation and the smell of cooking food. He remained still for a few minutes, then climbed out of the sleeping niche, checked on his healing wounds, and summoned the Puppeteer's Shroud to cover his bruised body.
In the lounge area of the Rhino, several members of his cohort were eating a hearty breakfast. Surprisingly, Professor Obel was the one cooking, masterfully using rations scavenged from the depot supplies to create something that smelled unexpectedly tasty.
Walking closer, Sunny heard Luster speaking with surprising enthusiasm:
"...amazing! How did you even make this?"
The old man chuckled.
"Ah, food was much more scarce during my youth than it is now. Ancient relics like me all know how to make a feast out of nothing, young man."
Noticing Sunny, Luster pointed to his plate.
"Captain! You have to try it!"
He stuffed his mouth with something that looked like vegetable lasagna - which was rather strange, considering that military rations did not include fresh vegetables - and smiled.
"Oh! And we are also flush with water again. Shower is back online!"
That... was a piece of surprisingly good news. The Rhino had a very robust water filtration system, but they had to start rationing it many days ago. The thought of an actual hot shower made Sunny smile.
He sat down and curiously tasted Professor Obel's cooking. It was, indeed, rather delicious.
Noticing his reaction, the old man chuckled.
"Everything potslop. That's what we used to call this Frankenstein of a dish, back in my days. Times may change, but some things always remain the same."
Sunny stared at his plate, and then frowned.
