[•3rd POV•]

"La...lala~ lala~ lalala~" Mujika sang as she roamed the familiar woods.

"Hmm, these should be enough." She said as she brought some mushrooms into her basket.

*Rustle rustle*

The short demoness yelped as large strong arms wrapped around her.

"Sonju!" She scolded as she made sure that the ingredients in her basket didn't fall.

"You were taking so long." The taller demon remarked.

"I was almost done..." Mujika pouted.

"Not fast enough."

"*Sigh* What am I gonna do with you."

"Ew, get a room you two." Another voice called out teasingly.

The two turned their heads around to find Lucine with a teasing smirk, she semmed to be raising her brow but her mask was covering it.

"Lord Odessa! What are you doing here?" Mujika wiggled her way out of Sonju's arms and went over to the female bluenette.

"Just came out for a breather, then I remembered you two would be passing by here today so I thought I'd say hi." She explained.

"Oh! In that case, how about you have lunch with us?" Mujika offered.

"I'd love that, only if I get to help with the cooking!" Lucine chirped.

"Of course!"

"Yes!"

"Oh no..."

—————

"Oh! How about you try putting some potatoes in there? It'll be just like curry, I promise!" Lucine suggested as she stirred the pot.

"Hm... But how about the mushrooms? Curry doesn't have mushroom in them... Do they?" Mujika questioned curiously as she looked at the remaining ingredients they have.

"Not that I know of... But we'll never know if we try." The goddess shrugged as she put all the remaining spices in the pot, stirring it while so.

"You're right. What do you think Sonju?" The shorter demon asked the taller male as he was just sitting there crossed legged, watching them with amusement and hunger. (For the food, not Mujika. Get your dirty brains outta here.)

"Anything is fine with me as long as I get to eat it." The demon shrugged indifferently.

"Mushroom it is then!" The demoness cheered as she cut the vegetable.

"Thank you for the food!"

"So, how's the capital been?" Mujika asked as she took a spoon full of her curry.

"Hm? Oh... It's as peaceful as it can get." Lucine unsurely replied as she sipped her tea.

"Peaceful? Never thought that day would come." Sonju deadpanned, eating his own food.

"Sonju!"

"What?"

"Well, peaceful for me at least. No demon dares to step into my way unless they have a death wish. Except maybe the queen." The goddess mused, stirring her curry.
