105 105.

Ren walked through the empty and silent corridor towards the basement to finish the job of healing the high elf king while thinking about how he had caught the attention of the elf queen.

Ren stared at the ability on his status screen.

[the aura of the king]

- a skill that allows the user to actively instill adoration or fear into the minds of opponents, making them feel like they are facing a king who should be respected and revered.

[passive effect]

- your leadership skills increased considerably.

- other people's auras can't affect you as long as your soul is strong enough.

-When the user leads a battalion he will give a strength bonus and high morale to allies depending on the user's strength.

- Other people are more likely to listen to you if you have their attention, this effect is more powerful when the other party has some affection for the host.

[ conditions for active effect]

-being heard in front of a crowd.

- when you are being revered.

-When there is an oppressive aura against the host.

when ren started to use magic in Arwen's office, that caught the elf's attention at a certain point and what ren did was attract her attention through a metaphorical story to achieve an effect of being heard and taking into account the passive effect of their ability.

'Hopefully, it worked.

although ren didn't expect it to really work as well, he was just testing the effect of the skill, besides the data "this effect is more powerful as long as the other party has some affection for the host", ren doubted that Arwen cared enough to be heard knowing that not long ago there was a problem.

Ren wished that hopefully the mother and daughter relationship be rebuilt since neither the mother nor the daughter feel a true grudge if the mother and daughter get along, that will make Arwen personally train Amerie, and thus Amerie will improve her bow skills therefore the dungeons will be easier to be cleared.

meanwhile, ren is going to heal that old man right now, after all, the brain energy he got from the dungeon he went to with amerie filled his tank, so ren was sure he could heal the old man without danger to his life you see.

apart from...

"cough.

Ren coughed up something and it pooled in his mouth, but there was nowhere to spit it out so he swallowed it back.

unfortunately, it wasn't phlegm, it was blood.

' What a nuisance it is to have sequels.

- You exceeded too much against those spiders, and because of that stupidity your wounds were opened from the attack of those little dirties at school.

'relax, I'll recover in time.

- if only you could have your butt in your bed you wouldn't have to suffer like this.

' ...as I say, relax, I'll recover.

Ren felt the concern in Elpis's tone of voice, but fighting was inevitable, Ren really didn't want the girl to have a giant scar on her arm and have worse self-esteem than she already has, apart from changing events, amerie He's not that close to Kiriko now since Kumiko has him monopolized at the moment, so it was hard for Kiriko to find amerie or use the right words to calm her down.

-Ha... not even worrying about you.

' you know me.

- you have to search dungeons according to your rank and look for bosses with regenerative abilities, you need to upgrade the ability to regenerate.

' It's hard to do with Queen Arwen's watchmen on the road watching me where I go.

-ha... I know, I hope that elf boy is grateful enough that he isn't watching you.

'Hopefully.

after finishing those words, everything was quiet.

including the voice that pencil, Hina, and the mind of Ren himself now.

Ren was walking with the aim of going to see the elf king and cure him.

*pat

*pat

*pat

...

Ren's footsteps stopped being heard, not because he stopped walking.

but because ren was gently floating in the air.

'Couldn't you call me first? I was almost at my destination.

Ren thought as he was pulled towards Arwen's office.

but the touch made ren weird.

Ren understood the flow itself right now, and although he can use it only with his mind in flow, Ren already had the principles ready and felt that the flow in Arwen's mana was smooth.

it was like holding something precious in his hands.

Ren thought that with such a feeling he could sleep until he is taken to Arwen's office.

.

.

.

Arwen held the ice statue that Ren left her while she drew Ren with his mana.

and she was really gently bringing ren, he was bringing him as gently as he is holding the statue now.

When the doors of his office opened, Ren's figure was shown.

Ren was floating in the air at an angle of 45 degrees.

and he was sleeping.

Arwen put his hand to his lips as he laughed at a cute sleeping ren.

the laughter woke up ren who stood up quickly.

well... his position would be considered upright, but he was still floating in the air.

Arwen sat Ren across from her and asked with a smile.

-then ren... how can you help me?

Ren took a out of his ring a contract.

" this

Arwen's smile hardened.

it was a mana contract and from the flow of mana, Arwen knew at a glance that it was of the highest quality.

- why?

"It's simple, we just need to agree that I'll help her today and if I say anything she learns today, I'll die of a heart attack.

-It's not that, why sacrifice so much for a day off with my daughter?

Arwen didn't really understand ren, using a mana contract is usually used when 2 entities don't trust themselves and are going to make a deal of too much importance.

Although Arwen understood what she was going to use the contract for, she didn't understand why he would go to such extremes just for a day off with her daughter.

Ren just smiled at that.

"just a whim, whatever

Arwen thought about it for a long time before signing the contract with him.

the terms were simple, ren would help Arwen with her work until the sun rises tomorrow, and at that time until the end of the day, Arwen should not work.

ren first said.

"What do you think if I bring a comrade?

-um? who?

"to the hero

- It is not necessary

Arwen rejected Ren.

But after a couple of very arguments and long insistences taking into account that Kiriko signed the same contract, Arwen ended up accepting.

ren ran for kiriko quickly and also prepared a few things before coming back with a determined kiriko.

Ren and Kiriko stopped at the door of the Elf Queen's office.

Ren spoke first to Kiriko who was next to him.

"Are you ready kiriko?

-not

"I know, it will last until the end of the day.

-I don't know, this amount will be much bigger than what I faced in the past.

Ren put a hand on Kiriko's shoulder and spoke with a smile.

"Don't worry my King, together we will face it.

a vein popped out of kiriko's forehead.

- You didn't tell me why I had to sign, you just came with a contract and asked for my signature

"Don't sign what I bring you next time without reading it.

Kiriko sighed, he wasn't angry about Ren's scam, because he knows that the only thing Ren wants to do is help the mother and daughter to reconcile, but unfortunately, Kumiko doesn't think the same as the two of them.

-Kumiko was quite angry with you, when we return she will want to destroy her shield on your head.

"Don't worry about little things.

Ren said with a smile.

Kiriko sighed again and fixed his backpack.

He brought stamina and mana potions for emergencies, and this was going to be an emergency entirely.

Kiriko and Ren entered the office determined to win this great war called paperwork.

.

.

.

while kiriko and ren waged a war against paperwork, Kumiko had already calmed down and was in her room studying the classes that will come for this second year.

a difference between her of ren and the others...

it is her limited capacity.

Living beings have a better memory according to their longevity.

elves, demons, and dwarves are very long-lived.

thus, they pick up All's classes quickly.

Kumiko on the other hand doesn't have that photographic memory.

Unlike Kiriko and Kuroka who she believes and knows are geniuses, she has to continually push herself to keep up.

As Kumiko looked at a picture showing the mana core, she thought of her talk with Saiko.

Kumiko wondered how ren could expel mana as an almost instantaneous spell without chanting.

Ren had responded like this "I wanted to make ice and I did, what's so strange?"

since time immemorial... geniuses used to say things like that.

people who could do things as if it were as easy as breathing while for others it would be difficult.

which takes months of study in spell theory, understanding of the element, and a lot of practice time to supply the mana correctly to be able to use the spells without them exploding.

Ren used it just wishing and thinking about it.

Ren said that she couldn't use spells, but it was really because Ren didn't need them.

at first, Kumiko thought that it was magic without singing, something that you have to be very advanced in magic theory and practice to achieve.

but when she asked ren how he did his spells, he always said that he never used spells, he said that he only manipulated the mana to follow his orders.

manipulating mana as a part of one's body is something that until now only magicians of great rank and power can do.

Saiko had asked Kumiko for a meeting before the trip and told her a couple of things that I talk about with ren.

It turns out that Ren had gone with Saiko to review why he can do magic so quickly without using spells after having that conversation with Kumiko, and Saiko had agreed.

Saiko told Kumiko the results of those exams.

-the mana core of a normal person is separated from the other organs, that's why in order to use spells we use memorized and practiced chants, it's like autosuggestion, the chants would be like the warning to that organ to start using it, instead, the Ren's mana core is close to his nervous system which allows ren to use his mana just by thinking about it and using it almost instantly, which explains why ren's nerve training results in massive control of his mana.

Kumiko felt a little stupid with those words.

"You mean to tell me that Ren doesn't need magic circuits? Or chant spells? Does he just need to think about it?

-His nervous system acts as a substitute for his magic circuits, although we couldn't discover how it became possible, the conclusion we reached is that his nerves were transformed into magic circuits.

"...

- but there is also bad news with that.

" what thing?

-Well, you'll see... in Kuroka's exams we discovered that when the mana comes into contact with the human body, it targets its mana core, and from the books, we know that its final mission is to infect it and turn it into "it", which What the body does is reject it by using the mana to reject the dark mana and the immune system for the poison that comes with the dark mana, the infected dark mana users had a purple mark on the part where they were infected.

" then?

- Ren's mana is different, unlike the others who have their mana core separated from the other organs, Ren is connected to his nervous system and if the dark mana used that shortcut to his core, just as Ren can quickly use mana, his infection will be just as fast.

Kumiko held her forehead and tried to calm down, then summarized Saiko's words.

"so in conclusion... if ren gets infected with dark mana, instead of what happened to kuroka who had pain while his body fought against the dark mana, ren will be infected quickly and without time to heal him.

- ...that's how it is

"ha... you fucking jerk.

Kumiko couldn't help but curse Ren at that moment.

Saiko ignored that insult and approached Kumiko and asked her for a favor.

- Please Kumiko, don't let Ren go to the dark dungeons with Kiriko, you know how he is about it with injuries.

Kumiko noted the somewhat anxious look in the stoic Saiko's eyes, Kumiko nodded to her.

Snapping back to reality, Kumiko didn't tell Ren or Kiriko yet.

Kiriko for the fact that he would scare him into forbidding Ren to go with him.

to ren why simply...

he wouldn't care.

Kumiko could safely tell that Ren wouldn't care whatever it was that had to do with his physical condition.

in training ren sometimes gets hurt after fighting, gets burned by Akane's mana, or gets hurt by kiriko's sharp sword Excalibur.

One time Aiko was practicing her fire cage, but the spell began to lose control, Ren, in order to save Aiko, stood in front of her and received the full blow of the flames, leaving his back exposed and severely burned.

It was painful to the naked eye, Kumiko saw Ren frowning, not because of the pain in her back, but because Aiko was about to cry as she apologized to Ren.

Kumiko could assure that if Akane, when training with Ren, and in a crossover, Ren has to let herself be hurt or let Akane take the wound, Ren would let herself be cut without thinking about it, and even if she has a knife stuck in her shoulder, the most likely thing is that she would. The first thing out of his mouth would be to complain and say "my clothes are going to stain."

Ren didn't care about the physical damage that her body can take, all the time being close to him led her to that conclusion, but Kumiko learned that what would hurt Ren the most would be a betrayal.

in the noble world, where betrayal and behind-the-scenes schemes along with intrigues are very common, where people can easily make deals with others even though the other person can calculate it.

ren wouldn't go into that kind of world, a person who bases things on trust is fine, but you can't bring that trust to a business where the only thing that should matter to you is the interest you can get.

Kumiko knows that what happens in the market is a business matter and can be resolved with interest, it is similar among noble deals.

the problem is that ren doesn't care about interest, unlike kiriko who has strong backing, but ren doesn't have a backing or last name to lean on, normally if ren wanted to do something like increase his wealth by doing business, he would be calculated by others from blind spots.

the bad thing is that ren was someone simple, although she knows that ren was not someone who would actively look for problems with others, he was not one of the people who would not respond to someone who caused him trouble.

Kiriko told Kumiko that Ren was a person with incomparable talent and strength, thanks to that information Kiriko trains even more rigorously to keep up with Ren's game, which is good because he will also grow, but Kumiko remembers what Naomi said that Kiriko will become a great power if he doesn't stray from his path, which is another of the many reasons why Kumiko was by Kiriko's side from the beginning.

ren who is considered by kiriko himself to be someone with superior talent continues to grow, it is possible that ren will solve the intrigues with absolute force.

which is bad no matter how you look at it.

Kumiko was thinking about all the future problems linked to kiriko who has an attachment to ren, she just concluded with all the data about ren and finished a conclusion about the way he acts with others.

Ren could take the wound for you and there would be no problem, but if there is a single moment of betrayal... the chances are that Ren will forget who you are for the rest of your life...

.

.

.

in the demon realm, the cradle of demons in this world.

you could see a city at peace, with citizens walking through the dark streets calmly.

many looked human if it weren't for the horns they all have on their heads.

The palace of the demon king, a palace that has been housing the royal family of demons for many years, is a giant castle where at first glance it would be like a castle taken from a horror movie the castle is unlike the empire of the human world which was very beautiful in white, this demon king castle on the outside was dark and gloomy.

The narrator looking at the exterior of the castle thought that this castle was taken from a dark dungeon directly since any human child would be scared.

but walking through the halls of the castle it was the opposite, the beautiful marble floor, walls, and ceiling were a beautiful aristocratic house style made of the finest materials and most precious wood that could be found.

and within this beautiful interior, more specifically in one of its many kitchens, a beautiful girl with white hair and red eyes could be seen, a perfect and cute appearance, along with a destructive body despite her young age wearing a cotton apron. the kitchen that had a bear print, a gift that was sent to her by a boy with black hair and blue eyes congratulating her on her recovery after being in bed for a while due to losing her vitality.

the girl was reading a sheet of paper on which she had written certain basic ingredients, the girl looked at the sheet and put the ingredients in a pot guided by the paper.

but behind her, one could see many pots with a purple and dark content that gave off an indescribable odor of which the narrator did not dare to investigate for the world.

this girl was known as Aiko evilness, and she was practicing cooking.

while Aiko looked at the list that ren handed her where were the basic ingredients that she would add to the stew she was cooking, she heard the kitchen door opening softly.

Aiko looked back and saw a beautiful black-haired woman in a loose-fitting dress, but still showing off her mature and motherly appearance.

she was her mother known to her as Bianca.

" Hi, Mom.

Aiko said to her mother with a happy face before going to hug her.

Bianca hugged her daughter fondly before grabbing her cheeks and asking.

- smelly girl, shouldn't you be in bed?

"Ma, mama... I'm practicing my cooking.

-um?

Blanca looked at the pot that Aiko was currently cooking, then she looked at the other pots that were further behind Aiko which were full of that purple or black content and with an indescribable smell since the damn author forced this cute narrator to smell it to find out. the smell.

but there was no surprise in Bianca's eyes when she looked at a large number of pots with inedible contents, what surprised Bianca was the pot that Aiko was currently making, which looked rather acceptable to a bit appetizing.

Bianca couldn't help but ask her daughter.

- When did you become such a good cook?

" well...

Aiko handed a sheet to her mother.

Bianca read the note which she said.

-chicken

-flour

-oil

-chopped onion

-Tomato paste

- carrot

Bianca looked at the sheet and quickly, like a seasoned housewife, figured out what her daughter was doing.

-Are you making a stew?

" Yep

-And why doesn't she say the measurements that are added to the stew?

Bianca asked confused, the note said the ingredients, but not the amount of how much to put.

"They told me that I have to cook, fail and eat what fails to find out how much I should put of each thing, only... I did a lot.

-um...

Bianca then noticed the plates next to each pot, which was each empty.

she then looked at her daughter and rubbed her cheeks with a smile before saying.

- I'm glad you're learning, but what will you do with the rest of the pots?

"um... I'll give it to dad to eat it.

Bianca put her finger to her cheek and asked in a concerned tone.

-ara, don't you think your father will get indigestion from eating all that?

"I know mom, but dad deserves it, he lied to me!

Aiko said with an offended face and tears wanting to come out of her eyes.

Bianca was worried when she saw her daughter in that state and asked her what happened.

"well...

Aiko told what her father did to make her angry with him.

When Aiko was about to leave the demon continent with her mother, her father called her for a talk, which contained the artifacts, items, and rules that she must follow and how to take care of herself while living there.

and one of the phrases that her father told her with a smile was this.

- My beautiful baby, if you like a boy, give him the opportunity to eat your kitchen, and you will leave him madly in love with you.

Aiko heard her words and didn't think too much at that moment, she sometimes cooked for her father, and every time she saw him eat, Abadon always had his lips trembling as he said that he was delicious.

but after he started to like ren, she thought about those words and decided to look for a chance to feed him.

and one day she found the how, she still remembers that day like it was yesterday.

.

.

.

Aiko could be seen walking towards the library to study and behind her was Ren following her as her assistant.

but along the way, there were girls from the cooking club who wanted me to go with them to assist them.

Ren was going to reject those girls since Aiko said that she was uncomfortable with her assistant leaving her side.

but strangely for ren, Aiko said that she would let him go, on the condition that she go too.

Ren didn't really care, so he agreed to go to that cooking club.

when they entered the room, Aiko was accepted to try out the cooking club, despite the discrimination towards demons, those girls knew that if Aiko left the club room, ren would go with her which strangely filled them with pride. aiko of being able to have superiority over those girls.

while ren led the students and students, putting together her beautiful face, calm and somewhat cold look, together with her young and trained body...

unlike the student nobles who couldn't have such a figure since they weren't from the awakened group, so they didn't carry much physical activity.

In the cooking class, the majority of male students were those who were looking for a roses student life, which would be to fall in love with one of the girls who liked cooking.

But these ordinary girls from other professions looked at Ren's good figure and even a couple of them had a longing look.

Ren who didn't care about the stares of the girls and the hostile stares of the boys just wanted to finish his work and leave.

Aiko also decided to follow her father's "advice" and cook a stew for Ren, Aiko was given the table partner of a human boy who had something hot towards Aiko, making Aiko feel a little uncomfortable with how that boy looked at her. , but a cold look from Ren was enough to calm that boy down.

Aiko then began to cook her stew following her heart and without tasting the results of her trusting in the words of her parents as she always did.

the result was some kind of purple, a slimy liquid that couldn't be called food.

At the end of the task, everyone had to prove what their partner did.

Aiko first served a large portion to Ren, and then reluctantly she served a plate to her companion.

"ren, can you come and try my food?

- agree.

Ren approached Aiko's table leaving the other girls in a bad mood since they stole Ren's attention, it should be noted that although Ren in the awakened class was the lowest ranked according to the classification, he was awakened.

the number of awakened people in the human continent is very low, out of every 1000 people, at least 10 or 20 will be awakened, plus all graduates of ALL, whether they graduate or not, will be people who can get a lot of money.

the awakened ones are usually noble since in the human continent the air is not full of mana like in other continents, it is more difficult to find a person who can have a mana nucleus without being exposed to the mana from the dungeons, so it is usually inherited, as the ancestors of nobles at some point in history who were adventurers and succeeded in their lives to later receive their noble titles, it is considered that if you are a noble you will have a mana core, which is usually true in most the cases.

and awakening those who have enough talent to enter ALL is another factor, apart from the fact that the case of the savior of the dungeon who was a mere human and then got his own noble title was well known.

At that time Ren had not yet gone through the events of the mine, and he was not yet known for the kidnapping of the demihumans, so his reputation was fine at that time.

therefore, it wasn't that strange for ordinary girls with a desire to find a strong man to behave like this.

Back to the topic.

Ren approached Aiko's table and looked at the plate for a few seconds before taking out a spoon.

as ren was bringing the spoon closer to him with a calm look at what should be known as food since it was cooked, at that precise moment Aiko heard the sound of someone gagging.

As if time had slowed down for Aiko, Aiko looked to her side, and at the corner of the table was the boy she gave some of her stew to gagging at what was clearly the contents of her stew.

aiko although she was somewhat naive, she realized that her father had deceived her.

she realized that his father's attitude, being a jealous person, made him very happy when he said that her food would make the boy he liked to fall in love.

Aiko tried to tell Ren to stop... but it was too late.

ren was spooning the purple stew into his mouth.

At that moment, Aiko felt that her world was about to break, she imagined many situations where Ren, who was a divine master cook, would be disgusted by his food.

Aiko closed her eyes tightly waiting for Ren's first cruel words.

A few seconds passed for which Aiko felt like an eternity...

but ren never said a word complaining about Aiko's food.

the first thing ren said was.

-um... you added a lot of salt, the chicken should have been cooked from the beginning, not at the end and the potatoes should have been cooked almost at the end, not at the beginning, the seasonings are not added by handfuls, only by pinches, at least the carrot was cooked more or less properly and lastly, the whole liter of oil is not added.

"huh?

Aiko looked at Ren and could see how Ren continued eating calmly without a grimace on his face.

"Isn't...isn't it disgusting?

Aiko said something strange and hopeful.

- It's really awful.

to which ren quickly killed expectations of her.

- but you really added all the ingredients, although my tongue went numb from the strong taste, why is something sweet?

"... I put a couple of cups of sugar in it

- that explains.

Ren put down his fork and stood up.

- I guess for now you should watch and then learn

ren then I look at the girls

- girls, do you mind if I prepare a little extra stew?

The girls upon hearing that Ren would cook jumped from their seats and their bad mood also jumped to a better one as they screamed.

- please give us some too!

- I guess it can't be helped.

Ren first pulled Aiko towards the teacher's table and stood her next to him.

first, he rolled up his clothes and told Aiko.

- for now, I will give you an example, you can practice later in your room.

Ren quickly chopped up the ingredients, and before long he made a large batch of stew for the entire class.

Ren first plated food for Aiko and then left the pot for the other hungry girls.

Aiko tried Ren's dish first, and when he tasted it he felt that Aiko would enter paradise...

the flavor, the cooking, the softness...

Although she hadn't tried her dish yet, she knew that Ren's dish couldn't be matched no matter how many times she tried.

- it's good?

asked ren with a smile

" it is incredible

- Well... taste it well, because then you have to try yours.

Aiko felt that she wanted to use magic to escape at that moment.

but ren held her shoulder, normally ren's touch would excite Aiko, but at that moment Aiko only felt fear of that touch.

in the end, she couldn't help but taste his stew.

As she chewed on the horrible taste, she couldn't help but gag.

- pass it on.

Aiko gritted her teeth and it took all of her mental strength to get through her food.

after scooping, she set the plate down, she couldn't give him another taste.

- well... did you taste the difference?

"... Yeah

- you can say it?

"More or less, first I felt her take a mouthful of salt water along with a large amount of sugar, and then I felt the taste of pepper...

- Well, the next time you cook, try your food and then analyze if you added too much or too little, but I suggest you do it in a small quantity since you shouldn't waste it, I'll let this pot pass since it's impossible that you can even give it one more tablespoon.

"fine, thank you very much ren

Aiko said before bowing she was thankful for not being embarrassed in front of everyone.

Ren smiled seeing the cute Aiko, so she patted his head.

Aiko didn't deny Ren's touch, but the little sweetness quickly vanished by someone came into the living room after spending all this time in the bathroom with indigestion.

-you!

"um?

-um?

- damn demon! that food was the worst food I ever tasted! That shit was poison, right? disgusting demon

Aiko was recoiling from the impulse of the guy who tasted her food a while ago.

Ren stood in front of her and a calm tone asked the boy.

- Let me ask you, did you make that stew?

"That's right, and it's a thousand times better than that demon.

- I'll have to check.

They walked calmly around the room and with a spoon he tasted the boy's stew.

- Well, this chicken is raw to the point that I thought for a moment that it was still alive, you didn't salt it, which seems to show that you have terrible taste buds, the potatoes are hard, and you couldn't even do this? and the carrot is horribly cut, plus it has too much water.

Ren calmly stated her opinion of the guy's stew.

The guy with a red face in embarrassment and anger spoke to Ren.

- you're lying...

Ren raised an eyebrow before speaking.

- delegate, could you try this?

A ponytailed girl quickly ran over to Ren's location, then grabbed a different, clean spoon and tasted the stew.

after a few moments, she nodded to the guy who was with his arms crossed and in a victory pose.

- you're right ren, this stew is disgusting.

said the delegate seriously, it was inevitable.

a few moments ago she had finished the tasty ren stew and just now she just tasted a tasteless stew, his palate couldn't help but taste worse than it is.

The boy was shocked before his face turned even redder with anger and embarrassment.

- Hey your tomato head, how long have you been cooking?

-three years ago.

-My lady here is cooking for the first time and she knows the ingredients, she just made a mistake in the amount, and you, at 3 years old, can't even make a decent stew? The one who should leave the class is you.

-bloody bastard, you'll be sorry-

- aha, as you say.

Ren ignored the boy and turned to clean up the items he used when cooking.

As she left, Aiko was worried about the boy's threat to Ren, so she asked Ren in a nervous tone.

"ren, do you want Eira to take care of you for a while?

-um? It is not necessary, the boy is only words and that's it

"Aren't you afraid I'll do something?

-um... I guess I could ask kiriko if there's going to be a problem.

' Knowing the vigilante kiriko, I don't think the boy could lift a finger under the pressure of the grandson of the emperor and the princess of the empire.

Aiko thought.

but at the same time, she could not feel warmth in her heart, before the consideration of ren.

and you see her heart filled with annoyance before her father who deceived her with food.

.

.

.

Returning to the present, Aiko told her all these things to her mother.

Bianca couldn't help but get mad at her husband, imagining the stew from that cooking class...

any other boy would have run away by now if they didn't resent Aiko for her bad cooking, but they also increased points towards ren who had enough consideration and patience towards her daughter despite her clearly bad cooking.

Bianca nodded with a smile before looking at the pots filled with colorful food.

- and if we feed all this to your father at lunch?

aiko made a similar smile to Bianca as she answered.

"We have the same idea, mom.

Abadon that she was in her office she couldn't help but tremble, her instincts screamed that something was coming and the worst thing... that what was coming was inevitable!.
