Chapter 17: "A photo"

Sit at the table and look at the food on the plate. Linc looked at Raina who was more nervous than herself.

"Isn't it time to introduce your cooking?"

Raina is getting nervous. But she asked in a stammering tone.

"W-What do you mean? Is it still necessary?"

Linc nodded his head, and crossed his arms on the table.

"Of course this should be. If I were to judge the chef competition event. I will definitely disqualify you on the spot for lack of manners."

Trying to contain the anger that oozes from the bottom of his heart. Raina gritted her teeth tightly.

Before her knew it, his nervousness had just disappeared.

"Pancakes! Chocolate milk powder sprinkle! Almond crumb topping! And maple syrup too! That's it!" Raina tries to describe the dishes she makes.

Linc nodded he head: "Not bad. You learn fast enough for a beginner. I reluctantly accept it."

"Hurry up and eat!" Raina's patience was almost broken.

Seeing that a bunch of zombies were starting to appear outside the kitchen, and the windows out there, stared at Linc silently as if he would batter him if he made small talk again. Linc could only shrug his shoulders.

"Okay..."

Linc's tone was a little reluctant.

Seeing that Linc sighed and moved his hand to the demon mask on his face. Raina's heart beat faster and faster.

[Ding! +500]

[Ding! +500]

[Ding! +500]

....

Slowed his hand several times to brush system points. Raina who was looking down at the demon trying to buy time, shouted angry!

"Quick, take off your mask!"

"Okay, okay! Calm down your zombies first! The kittens are scared!" Linc also suddenly became panicked.

Seeing that this situation couldn't be avoided at all. Linc could only sigh once more, and reluctantly took off the immortal demon mask that covered his entire face.

Lowered the immortal demon mask onto the table. Linc could hear Raina taking a deep breath.

A slightly brownish white face, black hair and blue eyes. Curved eyebrows and symmetrical round eyes. Seen from any angle....

"So normal?!" Raina said with great surprise.

[Ding! +100]

[Ding! +100]

[Ding! +100]

....

Seeing the system points awarded wasn't as good as Raina waited for when him took off he mask. Linc's expression turned somber.

He was starting to get a little jealous of his own demon mask.

"What's the problem with my face? I'm already in the ranks of good looks in the upper class!"

Linc was telling the truth.

When he entered society for the first time after coming out of prison. Many beautiful women are trying to help the cost of living.

Although he had to apologize from the bottom of his heart for having to flee from the pursuit of the Global government army and that deviant organization within a few days. This already made Linc very aware of his own good looks.

"No, that's not what I meant!"

Realized that the devil seemed to have misunderstood. Raina looked to the side with a red face.

"That... I thought, your face would turn out really bad. So, that's why you've been wearing a mask all this time... Sorry!" Raina looks guilty.

When the transfusion is contaminated Hore very much. They could most likely grow some abnormalities in their limbs.

The original example is Raina herself.

Half green golden blonde hair, Ruby red pupils. This is an example of a transfusion having a lot of Hore power in their bodies.

There were also some transfusions that underwent drastic changes such as having the head of a tiger, crystallized hands, enlarged bodies, and some people even grew hard horns on their foreheads. However, it's all normal for the transfusion.

But for ordinary people, this is not normal at all.

When you see a lizard that can stand straight and wear human clothes. Ordinary people would think of it as a man-eating Hore monster, and hunt it down to extinction.

These are also some of the reasons why both transfusions and humans hate each other.

"Never mind forget it."

A breath of fresh air once again and the smell of pancakes on the table. Linc took the fork in he right hand, and started eating slowly.

Raina gets very nervous.

[Ding! +350]

[Ding! +350]

[Ding! +350]

.....

He ate the pancakes until they were gone, and swallowed the drinking water to clear his throat. Linc started giving a comment like a seasoned expert chef.

"Too sweet, it makes my stomach churn."

This is the expert commentary of an experienced chef.

"YOU...."

Ignoring Raina who was clenching her fists tightly, and trying to restrain herself from hitting his in the face. Linc continued to evaluate without any mercy.

"You're cooking on too high a heat. This makes you miscalculate whether the food you're making is cooked inside or not."

"Maybe you really like sweet things. However, some people don't like it. Think about it."

"Besides, these pancakes are very few. Are you just making one serving for me and not finishing it all in one go? This is your biggest mistake. A true chef will never go halfway in the dishes he makes."

Standing up from he chair, and walking over to Raina who had a spirit that was already very lethargic from the barrage of negative comments from the devil. Linc patted his shoulder lightly.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Hah?" Raina looked at Linc with a confused look.

In the reflection of the warm sunlight passing through the kitchen window. Raina saw the devil looking at her with a very gentle gaze.

"Let's eat together."

Raina's heart suddenly stopped beating just like that.

Very warm, reliable, very comfortable...

That devilishly gentle smile, etched very clearly in his brain.

Raina's ears suddenly turned red.

"You better wear your mask! You demon! You really are a devil!" Raina shouted, and didn't dare look at Linc's face at all.

Linc: "?!???"

Feeling his body being punched weakly by Raina. Linc always had an endless question mark in his mind.

Girl, very strange.

"Why are you wearing that ugly mask again?Take it off!"

"Yes?" Linc who had just put on the immortal demon mask, immediately had a bad expression on his face.

"Don't mess with me! I have pride too!" Linc snorted in annoyance.

A woman's heart, it's hard to understand.

"Unless you call me father."

A man's heart, too, is hard to understand.

They argue with each other but have a very honest body to cook all the dough into pancakes. Their fighting stopped, when all the dough was cooked into warm pancakes.

"Ask for a family photo." Linc took out the camera, and pointed the lens at the two of them.

"Hm! Take off your mask first!"

"Meow~!"

Jumped onto the table, and sat in Raina's arms casually. Miss Kitty stared at Linc's camera lens silently.

"I have pets too."

"HIIISSSS~!!!!"

"SILENCE!" Linc slapped the grumpy lady's claws for the first time. Of course he immediately responded with a barrage of claws.

"Nyaw~!"

"miaw~"

"Meow~"

Seeing everyone already in the camera lens. Linc immediately clicked the shoot button without any hesitation at all.

"CLICK!"

Linc smiled gently.

He saves the photo in a photo album that he always keeps in his backpack.

"Thank You."

Linc thanked him from the bottom of his heart.
