“Nah, you brought good ingredients, Wave,” Haru said as he looked at the fish that Wave had brought from his hometown.
“Hehehe, the fish in our place is very tasty,” Wave said with a smile and looked quite proud when he heard the praise from Haru.
“I will probably come to your place in the future there to get fish,” Haru said.
“Good! You must come! I'll guide you around!” Wave said and also felt happy when Haru was interested in his village.
“Is it okay for me to come too?” enquire ***.
“Ya, why not?” word wave.
There's Haru, Bols, and Wave in the kitchen and someone else is staying outside waiting for them to cook dinner because Esdeath has asked them all to get to know each other by dinner tonight.
“Leader, you are from the East, right? I want to know what food is in that place,” Bols said.
“Well, I will teach you how to cook good food from the East and since we have good fish, we should make sashimi,” Haru said. He may be very lazy to cook something for a customer, but it is a different matter for a family. He was quite lonely in this place because he was alone for this quest. He had decided to show them his culinary skills since it would also increase their closeness to him as they would become his subordinates in the future.
Bols and Wave opened their eyes wide when they saw Haru who started cooking very skillfully.
“A – Amazing...” said Bols and opened his eyes wide. He also took out his note writing down the thing Haru told him because he felt this information was very valuable and thought for his family to eat this food later.
Esdeath along with everyone waiting outside could smell something delicious from the kitchen.
“Hmm...!!!” Stylish seemed to enjoy the smell of food and said, “Aroma is very stylish! As expected...” He blushed and his eyes became even more excited at this moment.
“Yes, I don't expect a Captain to have outstanding cooking skills,” Run said with a smile.
Esdeath nodded and understood why his subordinates could not wait to eat the food cooked by Haru. He became more curious, but he just thought something was missing. “Anywhere.”
“Ya mom!” Seryu who was daydreaming and impatient to eat, suddenly stood up while saluting as Esdeath called out her name.
“You don't have to be too nervous,” Esdeath said.
“Ya.” Seryu nodded and sat down once more, but she looked at Esdeath with a curious expression and wanted to know what she wanted to ask.
“If I'm not wrong, you should be his subordinate, right?” Esdeath asked.
“Chief Haru? Yes, I am his subordinate,” Seryu said.
“Is he always like that?” Esdeath asked.
“What do you mean?” Seryu asked with a confused expression.
“I mean, he hasn't smiled once since he got here,” asked Esdeath.
Seryu suddenly noticed it and muttered. “This is weird.”
“Any?”
“……”
Stylish and Run, who heard it, could not help but raise their eyebrows. They wondered if Haru and Seryu had such a relationship.
“Yeah, that's weird.” Esdeath nodded and did not think too much about it. “Does he hate me or what?”
“No, no, of course not!” Seryu hurriedly shook her head as she did not feel that Haru really hated Esdeath.
If they knew that Haru had declared himself Esdeath's husband then their expressions would be very beautiful.
Esdeath wanted to say something, but he stopped when he heard a voice from the kitchen.
“The meal is ready!” Haru said and brought a lot of dishes on the table. He had heard their conversation and thought that it was better to stop him hastily. He did not want his disguise to be known first.
Gulp down!
Esdeath decided to stop talking and look at the various dishes cooked by Haru.
Bols and Wave also brought a number of dishes to the table in a hurry because they wanted to eat.
The silent Kuromeko brought her fork and spoon, and she was ready to eat but stopped when she felt Esdeath was staring at her.
Gulp down!
Kurome gulped for a different reason than everyone else in this place.
“Why are you good at cooking?” Esdeath asked curiously.
Haru thought for a moment and decided to read a story on the spot. He remembers the story of Komatsu (Koki from Toriko) and thinks that it is a good story to tell to everyone. “In the past, I have learned it from a chef in my hometown.” He did not intend to talk too much about his past though as it was not too much. He came from a different world and there was no way he could tell them about it.
“You will be a good chef,” Kurome said with a serious expression.
Haru wanted to smile when she heard Kurome's praise, but she hurriedly stopped him because she could see that Esdeath was staring at her. “Why don't we eat first because the food doesn't taste good when it's cold.”
They nodded as they too could not wait to eat the food on the table, however, they did nothing while staring at Esdeath.
Esdeath nodded and said, “Let's eat.”
As Esdeath said those words, they could not wait to put food into their mouths.
“It's good!!!”
Haru heaved a sigh of relief as everything was fine, but he could not shake the strange feeling he had from Esdeath.
Esdeath nodded as he tasted his food. “Wah, very good.” He looked at Haru while smiling at that moment.
“Thank you?” Haru really wished that he could move far away from this place as soon as possible.
