"So, what do the two of you want? The food is certainly not ready yet..."

The cook asked curiously, furrowing his brows while eyeing out the two girls.

"Oh, this one is actually an amazing cook that our master picked up from the Academy, she wants to make the food for our master."

"Oh, is that so...? Ah! I think I have heard about you! My friend works at the Aspaceony Academy, he told me about a child prodigy chef that's giving him a run for his money! Was that you?"

The cook perked up since it turned out he wasn't completely clueless and could show off his knowledge.

"I-I think it should be me, there are no other people my age working in the Aspakeony Academy's kitchen..."

Patishi blushed and started fidgeting embarrassed by the unexpected praise from a complete stranger.
