Jenny's face becomes depressed.
"Master. Sorry. It didn't go as well as I thought."
"Hitting the pot accurately is not as easy as you think, but you did well for a first timer. Move forward."
"Yes!!"
"Now that we've made the noodles, it's time to add anchovies and vegetables."
Manu picked up a handful of dried anchovies and put them in the pot, then picked up a raw carrot.
"Let me show you how to cut a carrot."
Manu threw the carrot and swung the kitchen knife sharply, and the carrot split into four long pieces and fell neatly on the stone table.
This time Manu held a kitchen knife in each hand.
"You have to cut the carrots into the pot quickly and consistently."
Soon, Manu moved both her hands at a rapid speed and cut the carrots almost instantaneously, into a fine pieces. As Manu's kitchen knife sliced the carrot again and again, the cut piece of the carrot flew in a parabola and entered the pot.
It only took Manu one minute to cut all the carrots.
Jenny also picked up a carrot.
"Master."
"Yes?"
"How did you cut the carrot into four pieces with one swing?"
"Ah. I guess I showed off a difficult technique unconsciously. That is the secret technique under Maid Slash technique, 'Splitting the Apple', which involves cutting multiple times with a single swing. Once you become good at using a kitchen knife, I will teach you."
"I understand!"
Jenny clattered the carrots down on the stone table, then held a kitchen knife in both hands and cut them at rapid speed. The length of the carrots were jagged, and some carrot pieces fall around the pot and some didn't, but Jenny somehow managed to cut all the carrots.
"Ha… Ha… I did everything."
"Ho ho ho. Great job. Now, all we have to do is add green onions and garlic and boil it."
Manu added more vegetables and lit a fire under the pot. Soon the pot started bubbling and the savory taste of anchovy broth overflowed out of it. Jenny looked at the pot, her mouth watering up at the delicious smell and color.
A clock rang on Jenny's stomach. Jenny's face turned red because she was embarrassed.
"Oh! Sorry!"
"Hehe. It's okay. You can eat it now."
Jenny and Manu scooped up noodles with ladles and placed them in bowls.
Jenny lifted her chopsticks, picked up the noodles, and sucked them up.
"Wow! After training and eating hard, the noodles are delicious."
"It's really delicious. When I was young, the noodles I ate after training were the best."
The teacher and disciple enjoyed the noodles like that. Afterward, Jenny took a shower at Manu's mansion and rested for about 30 minutes before starting afternoon classes. The afternoon class involved walking around the yard with a teacup full of water on head, and if even a little water spilled, she had to start over from the beginning. After becoming successful, she learned ballet and yoga. These classes were classes that fostered flexibility, sense of balance, and detailed control of the body, which are important in the Maid Killing Method.
As Jenny was taking classes like that, in the blink of an eye, it was already dinner time. 'Now it's time to finish the class and go home.'
Jenny left the main gate of the mansion and greeted Manu before leaving the porch.
"Master! Thank you for today!"
"Continue practicing even when you go home. Then, see you next Saturday."
"Yes!"
Jenny returned home with joyful steps.
"Hehe. I can become stronger too!"
When she arrived home, Zeon was still not there.
"Zion, you stay up late exploring dungeons? I was going to give you cookies if you had come today."
Jenny took out the chocolate chip cookies she baked in the 'Maid's Way' class the other day and looked at them with regret.
"Tomorrow is Sunday, so you will be home, right? Hehe! I'll have to give it to you tomorrow~"
Jenny ate, washed, and lay down on bed.
"I want to smell Zeon."
Jenny hugged Zion's pillow tightly and buried her face.
Smelling Zion's scent relaxed Jenny's mind and relieved her fatigue.
"Hehe. Zeon, you smell good."
Hugging the pillow tightly, Jenny fell asleep.
***************************
Next Day, Sunday Morning.
I, Zion, woke up to a bright beam of light coming through the window.
"Ugh… I have to get up."
Looking at the bed next to me, Kazan is still sleeping.
" It's new, It looks like he had a really hard time yesterday."
Normally, Kazan would wake up at dawn and wake me up.
Today is the day I take Aris home. The joy of having Aris and the fear of meeting Jenny are fighting in my mind, and I feel sad about her.
I washed up properly and went to the restaurant to have breakfast.
"What's on the menu today?"
I checked and found that today's breakfast menu is English breakfast style and includes toast, eggs, sausage, bacon, and grilled vegetables.
I waited in line at the restaurant food table.
"Zeon!"
At that time, I heard Aris' voice calling me from next to me.
"Aris? What's going on?"
"I came to eat breakfast too. But I'm lucky to have met Zeon~"
"Oh. Let's eat together."
Aris and I put a lot of breakfast on our plate and went to the table in a corner. When I sat down, Aris sat right next to me. I can feel the soft warmth of Aris next to me.
"Aris. Why did you sit next to me instead in front?"
"Huh? I'm going to feed Zeon today."
"Thank you."
"I do it because I want to."
Aris stroked my hair with one of her hands, and with her other hand she dipped a sausage into sauce and brought it to my mouth.
"Zen~ say ah." [T/N: Blerghh....]
"Ah~~~"
I opened my mouth and Aris put the sausage in my mouth. I just kept my mouth shut and chewed the sausage deliciously.
As I eat, I need water.
"I want to drink water."
"Huh! Here!"
Aris answered, and she supported the back of my head with one hand and lifted the glass of water with the other hand and brought it to my mouth without spilling it.
I comfortably drank the water Aris gave me.
Aris put food into my mouth at the right time, just like a mother bird feeding her baby birds.
"It tastes even better because Aris fed it to me."
"Really? I'm happy to see Zeon eating happily."
Aris eats breakfast while looking at me with a happy face.
"Aris. Why are you staring at me like that?"
"I just like seeing Zeon."
"Haha...."
"Okay. Eat the roasted tomatoes here."
"Ah~~~"
After I finish eating, Aris wiped my mouth with a napkin. It feels like I'm a baby, but it's actually nice.
'I didn't know Aris had this maternal side. I think I'll fall in love with it.'
Aris asked me a question.
"Zeon ..am I the best wife?"
"Huh! Aris is the best!"
"Hehe. Well said. Let's get going."
Aris gently stroked my head, picked up her tray, and got up from the table. I also got up and picked up my food tray. We placed our plates in the dining area and left the restaurant.
"Aris. Have you all packed your bags?"
" I don't have that much luggage, so it's all in this subspace ring."
"Then do you want to go straight to my house?"
"Yes!"
Me and Aris turned towards the main gate of the school. Aris naturally held my hand. Aris's hands are calloused from the impact of swinging sword, but they are soft and warm, perhaps because she is a woman.
"Ah! That's right!"
Aris shouted as if something stroke her suddenly.
"Hmm?"
"Zeon. Take the money here."
I was taken aback when Aris took out a pouch full of money from the subspace ring and held it out.
"Why are you doing this all of a sudden? Why are you giving this to me?"
"I saved up the allowance I received from Count Drales. Although I didn't receive much, I lived frugally and saved quite a bit. I'm going to the house you bought. I should also contribute a little."
I hurriedly waved my hand.
"No! It's okay. I'm rich, so you don't have to give me money. Besides, as a husband it's my duty."
"Still, I feel uncomfortable just trying to go home…"
"You can use that money to buy furniture for your room. If you feel uncomfortable, cook something delicious for me later!"
"Okay. I'll cook for Zeon."
Aris smiled and nodded her head.
Before we knew it, we had left the school's main gate and arrived at my house 10 minutes away.
I took a deep breath and put my hand on the doorknob.
'Jenny will be waiting inside. It's scary, but you have to endure it.'
"Zeon. I want to go in quickly."
Aris urges from next to me. I gathered my courage and opened the door.
'I'm going to have a hard time. May God help me'
"Dear Zeon! Welcome… Huh?"
Jenny came running up to greet me, but then she caught Aris with her eyes and stopped talking. Aris hugged me tightly and greets Jenny leisurely.
"Hello~ I'm Aris, Zeon's wife. Nice to meet you."
Jenny's forehead crackled and sinews appeared, and her lips twitched. Jenny is clearly angry now. Jenny's eyes are so dark that it seems like she could chew an elephant just by looking at it.
'Jenny! I'm Scared! I'm sorry!'
I was trembling inside and asked Jenny for forgiveness.
Jenny stared at me and asks for an explanation.
"Zeon. Who is the prostitute next to you?" [T/N: Ohhhhhhhh...]
I can hear the sound of Aris' teeth grinding.
'Neither of you shall fight!!'
I explained with a pale face.
"Jenny. Hahah.. Next to me is Aris, who has now become my wife. Of course Jenny is my wife too. I have explained my mission a long time ago. Aris is a warrior and a swordsman genius that I need, to prevent the destruction of this world. She has a nice personality and I like her, so let's get along well. Pleaseeeee."
Jenny clenched her fists and trembled, then turned around and went inside.
"Both of you, please come in."
The voice is so cold and sharp.
I took off my shoes and stepped into the house with trembling steps.
At that time, Aris kissed my cheek.
"Zeon. Don't worry, I'm always on your side."
'I'm worried that you two will fight!!'
Without saying a word, I went into the living room with Aris. Jenny is sitting at the living room table, waiting.
"Please both sit at the table."
Aris walked confidently and pulled out the chair across from Jenny and sat down. I sat down next to Aris and glanced at their faces.
Aris has a relaxed face and Jenny has an annoyed face.
'Is there a difference between those who prepared their hearts and those who did not…'
Jenny erased her annoyed face and spoke with a refreshing expression.
"I'll say hello again. I have served Zeon as a maid for a long time, and now I am his wife. Zeon and I are connected by a very deep bond."
Aris also smiled brightly and greeted Jenny with a relaxed expression.
