Chapter 366 - The Husband's Cooking
The husband had settled himself within Fusia's house, but her garden was spacious enough to summon his house without problems. He brought it out from his inventory, then introduced Yesir to her new home.
His house would use more rooms, though, "I guess I will work toward it. Maybe some defensive mechanism... From the house to the fortress... That would be dope." The husband laughed like a brat who was about to break down his toy to make some super duper upgrades.
As the dawn announced itself, Kyoya smiled and entered the house.
His family was already here and a little later, Hiro and Fusia came over. For the latter, the husband's house was like a place where she could relax. Surrounded by people that were her genuine friends, Fusia forgot all her problems and relished the mood created naturally by everyone here.
Though the elf was here to relax, her heart was also curious about The Ice Beauty. Her eyes hovered on the expressionless lady. She then turned her eyes to the husband, "Good morning, Kyoya."
Greeted by the elf, Kyoya smiled widely, "Good morning." Since Fusia had been looking great and moe so far, Kyoya didn't even feel like bringing out the topic about her race. He also needed time after The Ice Divine's inheritance.
"Who is the one in charge of breakfast today?" Kyoya asked.
"You!" Xiaoxiao replied while resting her head within her hands. She sat down by the table and also had her eyes on the husband. Her humming stopped as she looked forward to the husband's breakfast.
Breakfast was the most important meal, so no work was done before it!
The husband scratched his head, "Really?" He turned his eyes to the small board and it was indeed his time to make some stuff for his family and also friends.
Kyoya didn't rat around and pulled himself out of the table, "Yesfir, do you like scrambled eggs?"
"I haven't eaten much... stuff..." Yesfir replied belatedly and with pauses as she didn't expect this question. Everyone else realized that the husband was about to introduce the ice lady to the house's rules, so they chuckled and looked toward this.
The husband's reaction was rather natural, "Seriously? That dude was too weird, but what can you expect from a guy who had various beliefs in one body?" He also whispered, 'Did you treat her as a toy or statue? Seriously'. As everyone was a strong individual in the husband's party, all of them heard his whispers and nodded in tandem.
Hiro teased, "There is also guy who has versatile system and concepts too. He is pretty weird too, isn't he?" A faint wave of laughter filled the house!
The husband took these words heartily and laughed too, "I think someone is jealous. Not like I would explode from these concepts, though."
His friend clicked his tongue, "I don't mind being the fast sword, but damn it... I want some flexibility too." If his sword could shock the goddess and make her personally overlook his wedding with Fusia! Hiro imagined such a scene and blood rushed to his head. Unconsciously, Hiro grasped the hilt of his sword tightly and dreamt of the scene where one slash would solve Fusia's race problem...
Kyoya didn't want to break that dream, but his voice reached out to Hiro, "You will go with me either way. Maybe there will be an occasion for you to impress the elven's goddess... But I hope it won't bring any problems."
"Don't give me hope, Kyoya! You bastard!" Hiro replied, his happiness palpable.
His moe elf struck his side with her elbow, but after Hiro peeked at her, he noticed that she also 'dreamt' about such a scenario too... The blushing elf silenced the hero and he quieted down like some teenager.
Of course, Kyoya's house burst out with laughter again, then Kyoya turned his eyes to Yesfir, "So you have never tried scrambled eggs... Let's go for it then. I also can make good pancakes, haha." The husband had never felt much need to learn cooking as his wife took that task for herself.
When Kyoya told Yesfir about it, she glanced at Xiaoxiao who crossed her forearms into X and shook her head with a faint smile.
Xiaoxiao shouted, "Scrambled eggs and pancakes!"
"You will get fat," Kyoya laughed.
"I won't!" Xiaoxiao pouted and gave a side-glance as if she knew a secret technique to keep herself slim. However, wasn't Xiaoxiao a fire believer? She probably could use some of her techniques to burn some excessive fat... One also could argue that Xiaoxiao had some technique to turn that fat into essence to stuff her... chest!
The top 2 chest was natural, though.
"So that's how it goes. First, we crack some eggs..." The husband began his cooking while explaining briefly to Yesfir.
The scrambled eggs were easy to make and one just needed a few steps. Kyoya didn't think that Yesfir would fail on her time and he passed valuable tips, his smile perpetuated each step in her mind.
"Of course, we need some flames. Akaro," Kyoya turned his eyes to his cat.
The cat's head turned in the opposite direction instantly after Kyoya's voice reached her. However, if Akaro didn't want to be with the husband and help him, would she be even here? While her eyes looked to the side, her cat paw went up and lit up the fan!
The husband smiled and thanked his goddess for the help.
The kitchen was made for Xaya, so such help wasn't needed. However, Akaro liked it. She used to be one of the old consciousness serving the only purpose of talking with other believers in Goddess Fiana's place.
This was her only task, so such minor tasks in the husband's house were what she liked the most. Even during the years where she lived with Xiaoxiao, Akaro would often turn human form and go for cleaning and other mortal duties.
In the husband's house, the family head put a strong emphasis on those duties and rules.
Akaro genuinely liked that.
After a minute, Akaro's eyes returned and she looked at the husband's cooking. Of course, now that she displayed her human form to everyone, Akaro would eat by the table with everyone.
Yesfir's eyes glued to the pan, "This is scrambled eggs."
"Yeah. Now, for the pancakes." Kyoya put the dirty pan away, "Oh, who does the washing today?"
Xiaoxiao's lips parted, "..."
"Looks like we are going to have an ample breakfast and dinner. Look forward to it, Yesfir." Kyoya burst out laughing and so did his friends who were enjoying the morning with coffee and the husband's teachings.
"Akaro will help me..." Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and believed in her good sister. If pouting could kill, the husband would have died a few times already. He laughed and soon the table became filled with the husband's breakfast that no one could complain about.
With the food in her hand, Yesfir brought the fork closer to her lips and ate slowly. She was like a squirrel trying some new stuff... or just simply eating like one.
This was a sight that was rare and Kyoya couldn't help, but feel proud of his cooking. His wife was probably feeling the same each time she served him some dishes!
Hiro then commented to not get charmed by the ice beauty's innocent side, "My wife's cooking is also not bad. But when it comes to us, men, I think Josef is the best."
Fusia turned her eyes to Hiro and asked, "Is it because of Maria?"
The hero covered his lips, hiding his laughter, "Yeah. She often has hangovers, doesn't she? ...Hahah!" In the end, Hiro couldn't contain it within himself and shook the whole table with his laughter.
It was rude, so the elf slapped his cheek then apologized in his place.
Kyoya wasn't better, but he got glances from his loved ones, "What? I handle alcohol much better nowadays, right?"
"Hah, that's not it." Hana uttered while pointing at Yesfir, "She wants to say something."
The husband had Xiaoxiao and Hana next to him, so he couldn't notice Yesfir's faint gestures. He looked at her and asked, "Was it good?"
"It was good. Thank you." However, her expression conveyed that Yesfir had a more important question that probably required some privacy. The husband was already feeling full, so he stood up and took her outside for a walk.
In the elven forest, one would gladly go for daily walks as their lands were vivid and exuberant with nature. Amidst the falling leaves and fresh wind, Yesfir asked, "Is it okay for me to be with other men?"
"What is this question?" Kyoya titled his head, "Of course you can be with them. And Hiro is my friend, so I am sure he won't do anything rude."
"The Ice Master often told me that I would bring disaster to other men and that I was only his. That any man around me except him would be my enemy and I would be their disaster... I felt nothing like that towards his people and it's the same for Hiro. But for you, I just want to hug you." Thus, she was conflicted.
Kyoya realized that this Ice Master was a pretty selfish person, "The world has wonderful people. Most people are wonderful, but they fail to show their sincerity because of this world's laws. This is a dog eat dog world after all. However, I don't think you should limit yourself to just me and my family. Even if you are the person who resides in my knife, you are free to go and explore the world without us."
"..."
"If such days come, just tell me. Later, introduce me to your friends." Kyoya smiled widely and patted her hair. He also took her into an embrace that Yesfir genuinely enjoyed. It was as if this enjoyment had been imprinted on her from birth.
"I will become friends with your friends first." Yesfir replied, then whispered, "I don't want to leave this hugging, so my friends will be your friends."
"You never know," Kyoya stated, "We will see. The road ahead of us is long."
