The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 376

Chapter 376: Lobsters

But for now, "free" was the word that his little wife loved especially since all of the good things they were using now came from his very own backyard.

A backyard so large it apparently had these monsters in it.

Xavier caught a glimpse of these creatures when Elder Pao Xi showed them to Luca, but he and Cece were probably the only ones mentally prepared for such a display. And it was evident with how everyone else changed into a fighting stance the moment Luca came out with it.

Because what the golden boy came out with could only be described as a monster.

No—worse.

It was a mud-colored, armored abomination straight out of someone’s nightmare.

But not Ollie’s.

The slightly taller mop froze mid-step, one foot half-raised and hovering in the air like he’d just caught sight of an enemy mecha.

"Brother! WHAT is that?!" he yelped, voice cracking as he pointed at the massive, spiny creature sprawled across the cleaning slab.

The thing looked like a war beast.

Its thick, dark greenish-brown shell gleamed faintly like hardened battle plating, segmented and jointed with the confidence of something that had never once known fear.

Because how would it know fear when it was striking at the heart of one blonde mechanic?!

And look at those claws. CLAWS!

They were the size of those small plates, one even slightly larger than the other, but both twitched ominously as if still deciding who to pinch in its afterlife.

Not to mention those eyes! Those beady and unblinking eyes sat atop alien-looking stalks close to the long antennae that dragged across the table like slow-moving whips.

But see, it wasn’t just all that because those legs screamed "I’ll come after you!" with how many were splayed out in far too many directions for anyone’s comfort.

Ollie took a wary step back.

It was the type of mecha that would scare him, and the type of mecha that he ought to be building!

The type of abomination to aspire for!

"I-is it dead?"

Luca, who was humming softly as he rinsed a bowl, looked up innocently. "Mmhm! No brother, they’re actually quite fresh since Elder Pao Xi just handed them over to me!"

"So then, brother, what are we supposed to do with that? Is that also going to be food?"

He knew it! Because to Ollie, it sure as hell didn’t look dead. It looked like it had just retired from frontline warfare and now spent its days haunting the dreams of whoever could see them.

Like Cece, but for a totally different reason, as the dwarf chuckled at everyone’s fear.

"Everyone! You only react like that right now. But you must know that this creature could and deserves to be the cutest of them all."

"And while I am sad to share such a discovery, it seems like you must all know the magnificence of this one called a Lobster!"

A lobster?

The Lobster, if only Cece could hear and correct the thoughts of these uncultured people!

But she couldn’t, and in her excitement, the dwarf volunteered to start lighting several grills so the wood chunks could be ready for use once they were done preparing the items for grilling.

"Really? Thank you, Auntie Cece!" exclaimed Luca who realized that was a good way to save time. Since she was the only other being who knew how to operate them, and it would be bad to ask the Elder to do it considering he said his bones would feel too dry if he stayed close by.

"Of course! But if you can remember to save a few lobsters for me, I’d really appreciate that!" Grinned the shorter woman, who was right on the money!

"Don’t worry, Auntie! I will prepare them on your behalf! Thank you!"

"Son, now what’s that?!" asked the Duke, who saw another enemy and was starting to get worried for his precious son.
