Family...

Safety...

And warm food...

Happiness is in the little things...

All of you decided to stop once again after such a long walk through the underground tunnels, although you guys didn't know what exactly the time was, Sonju was the one to inform you guys that it was already night. In the meantime, cooking was one of the basic things Musica started to teach while making dinner and Ray happened to be the one to be taught by her.

The moment you brought the wooden spoon up to your mouth, all kinds of indescribable flavors exploded in your tastebuds which only made you eager to eat more. The other also had the same reaction the moment they first tasted the food that was prepared by Ray.

"Soo good...How did you make this?" Emma who stood beside you asks in disbelief looking over at Ray who stood by the fire as he continued to serve the littles ones their food.

"It's called cooking" was his blunt reply to her as it was the most obvious, which technically was. Ray then averts his gaze towards your form and raises a brow as you stayed quiet, staring at your cup.

"D-Delicious...it's so delicious...it's disgusting!!!" You let out as you step towards Ray looking at him in disbelief, who inturns sweatdrops at you as he then flicks your forehead making you hiss in the slight sting.

"That doesn't even make any sense Baka" Ray said before letting out a sigh tilting his head  as he then pointed the ladle at you "So which is it really?"

The two of you lock eyes as Ray waited for your response as you then let out crocodile tears taking another bite of the food "Ish dewishwous..." your reply being muffled by the spoon in your mouth savoring the incredible taste.

Ray couldn't stop the small smile that made its way to his face, chuckling as he gently ruffles your head before Ray turns to face Emma without removing his hand on top of your head as Emma continues to ask him while holding out her own cup that was filled with Ray's cooking.

"But...How!? How could you make it so possibly delicious!?" Emma asks as she couldn't believe how such simple food could turn out to be this good and delicious.

"Eh, I just did it like Musica taught, step by step" Ray nonchalantly replied to her shrugging his shoulders as he continues to settles his hand on your head when you sat down by his feet, to focus on eating the food he made.

"Shut up!! This is so unfair, anything you try you're the best at!" Don protested pointing at him as Ray didn't bother to respond and looked down at you with a soft look in his eyes when you continued to eat the food happily.

"That would be because he's a genius" Mark states looking over at Don who couldn't help but let out while continuing to eat the food.

"Damn you!!!"

Musica and Sonju also walk into where you were all gathered and join you guys, they too heard what the fuss about and couldn't help but smile as Musica turn her heads towards the little kids, Mark and Rossi.

"You two also did a great job with the fire" She praises them as they grin sheepishly.

As everyone sat down gathered in a circle, you all prayed your thanks and happily started to eat. Ray who sat in between you and Emma, looks over at her when he notices the sudden change of expression.
