Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 85 - Chicken Porridge of the Von Azbec Family
It had been 3 days Litha had not woken up and lay in front of Nagato for 72 hours in tired Nagato waiting for Litha to wake up, in weary Nagato waiting for Litha to return.
Hyogoro's grandfather still could not believe that anyone had managed to infiltrate the Cakrawyuha Forest but he also did not want to believe that anyone had betrayed him.
Nagato goes out to fish with Chibi because Litha's pet cat is very fond of raw fish.
After finishing getting one fish Nagato back waiting for Litha because he also did not fish because according to Nagati wait for hours - hours fish eat bait is very boring and tiring.
Nagato saw in front of the house that Grandpa Hyogoro was burning deer meat alone and making a bonfire then Nagato sat beside Grandpa Hyogoro and ate meat together.
As the sun grew hotter and clouds rose above the calm and bright sky Nagato waited for Litha to wake up.
"Na .. ga .. to .." the sound of Litha stammered - bricks calling her.
Nagato immediately held onto Litha's hand and looked at the face of the little girl that had made him anxious these few days.
"What's up, Litha?" Nagato looked at the pale face of Litha who was trying to open her eyes.
Litha looked at Nagato's face which looked at her anxiously then Litha touched Nagato's cheek and rubbed it.
"Na .. ga .. to, has Chibi ... eaten fish?" Litha tried to get up but her stomach still hurt so Nagato laid Litha's body back down. Hearing Litha's words made Nagato surprised because the woman who made him anxious for the last few days actually worried about her pet for fear of Chibi starving.
'Litha worries about Chibi more than I do, why am I feeling a little upset?" Nagato then explains to Litha that every morning he fishes with Chibi and he feeds Chibi regularly.
"Thank God ..." Litha smiled warmly at Nagato while closing her eyes back.
"Rather than thinking of Chibi it's better you have to worry about yourself." Nagato muttered softly as he turned his face aside.
"Nagato I'm hungry can you make me some food?" Litha smiled gently at Nagato and Litha's voice sounded so soft in Nagato's ear.
Nagato returned Litha's smile and went to the kitchen to make the food she would cook for Litha.
In the kitchen looks Grandpa Hyogoro who is cleaning chicken meat and cut it into small parts.
Nagato intended to make chicken porridge for Litha despite not knowing how to make it at least he had seen his mother cooking the porridge and Nagato tried to remember the recipe.
"Nagato, can you make chicken porridge for Litha?" Hyogoro's grandfather was watching Nagato cooking rice water and chicken broth so he asked the student.
"Y-Yes, maybe ..." nagato's voice sounded very slow because she was also the first time cooking for a woman who became her first friend and this time cooking big to make the rice just soft to make her hands tremble.
Nagato waited for 30 minutes, Nagato's eyes stinged again when slicing onions to fry then he also cut the leeks and celery while waiting for the rice to cook.
Nagato then made sambal because spicy food was already his favorite.
Hyogoro's grandfather notices Nagato who is making chicken porridge then he scolds Nagato who always eats spicy food because he thinks it is not good for his body and Hyogoro Grandpa always scolds Nagato for the young man to reduce eating spicy food because of sambal and so on makes it difficult for Nagato to do full breathing when lathian and make his breathing becomes easily leaky.
After an hour Nagato took the bowl and put the chicken porridge on it. Then he sprinkled the fried chicken meat that had been cut into small pieces - small boneless, fried onions, and others.
"Grandfather Hyo, is there no soy sauce here?" Nagato was looking for sweet soy sauce in Grandpa Hyogoro's kitchen.
Hyogoro's grandfather approached Nagato then he laughed when he saw the finished chicken porridge.
"Wait, grandpa get you soy sauce ..." Hyogoro's grandfather took the ketchup in the room next to the kitchen and gave it to Nagato.
Nagato put a little soy sauce on top of the chicken porridge and brought a bowl containing chicken porridge to give to Litha.
Litha glanced at Nagato who was carrying a bowl then the girl smiled looking at the sometimes cold young man now looking so warm to her heart.
"Litha, I made chicken porridge .. This is the first time I've cooked for someone so I'm afraid you don't like it ..." Nagato sat beside Litha then he held Litha's fragile body in his eyes.
Litha blushed in embarrassment to see Nagato who cared so much for her then the little girl wanted to make one wish on Nagato.
"Nagato, I want you to feed me ..." Litha turned her face away and her voice sounded so soft that Nagato did not hear it.
Nagato held the spoon and told Litha to open her mouth.
Litha opened her mouth and chewed on Nagato's chicken porridge. His heart thumped to see Nagato acting ordinary when feeding himself.
"Hmm .. it tastes good, so warm my mouth and the chicken is tender even the fried onion is also tasted ..." Litha held her cheek after swallowing Nagato's chicken porridge and the little girl smiled happily at Nagato's cooking.
"Heeh .. I haven't tried it yet, I'm curious ..." Nagato muttered softly then took a spoonful of chicken porridge to taste his homemade chicken porridge.
'Hmm .. delicious ...' Nagato chewed with the casual spoon of Litha's mouth.
Litha blushed her face seeing Nagato eating chicken porridge from her spoon.
"Nagato, that chicken porridge is for me .." Litha spoiledly opened her mouth and told Nagato to bribe her again.
Litha smiled as she chewed on Nagato's chicken porridge.
Nagato touched Litha's cheek and pinched it as there was a bit of soft rice stuck to the little girl's cheek.
"A-A-What are you doing Nagato?" Litha was surprised to feel the touch of Nagato's hand on her cheek even the young man as soon as he pinched her soft cheek.
"This ..." Nagato showed me the soft rice that was sticking to Litha's cheek then he put his finger on Litha's lips.
Litha licked Nagato's finger gently and ate the soft rice that stuck to her cheek even though she felt very embarrassed but the feeling that was approaching Litha right now was a bliss. Because Litha is very comfortable when near Nagato.
