And so, everything that begins well ends well.
"..."
Or so I thought.
"!!!"
I was about to sleep when I heard someone knocked on my door.
"Kuro?" It's Lily.
Although I could still recall what happened back when I was sick, it's still the Head Maid. I guess she's back to her calm and collected self again? Well, no matter, I opened the door.
"..."
And surprise, surprise! With her was no other than Her Holiness the Saint. Again.
"Err...what's up?" I let them in. Or rather, Her Holiness let herself in and sat on the nearest chair. Well, this is her place anyway, so I rather keep my mouth shut.
"Well, Lily dragged me here because apparently she wanted to ask about the food you cooked before." Her Holiness explained.
"Uh...I could've gone alone, Your Holiness." Lily countered her; pouting and her arms crossed on her chest.
"Of course, I wouldn't let you." Her Holiness' eyes stared at me, "Or there'll be something 'bad' that would happen."
Uhh...yeah she's right. I just want to live my life here in a peaceful, 'healthy' manner.
"Anyway, she wants to know about your food." Her Holiness' attention went to Lily, and then turned back to me, "And actually, I'm also surprised that you can cook, Kuro."
"Well, I can, Your Holiness. I had to. I live alone back in my old world."
"That's rather sad, don't you think?" Lily commented.
"Ohh...actually, I find it admirable." Her Holiness quipped.
"Nah. I'm used to it. Back in my world, when you're not popular with the ladies, be prepared to live alone." I casually said to them, of course. To hide that little bitterness within me.
"..."
Hey, don't look at me with pity, Your Holiness.
"The ladies back in your land must've been fools," Lily commented.
"Well, I think they're just being intelligent." I retorted. I would also like to add, 'And they don't lust for their siblings, too,' but I kept silent about it.
Her Holiness exploded, laughing. She read my mind again.
I quickly changed the topic, "By the way, how d'you know about that time I cooked for Eris?"
"Well, Jessica imitated your dish and served it for my dinner," Her Holiness explained. "The flavor pleasantly surprised me and had Lily ask her, and she told us what happened."
"Oh..."
Wait, how did that bitch copy my dish? If I remember, I didn't offer her a single drop of it. And Eris ate all that could be eaten, save for a few spoonfuls of the sauce...
Can it be—nah. It's impossible. The bitch's too arrogant to do what I had in mind.
"I'm even surprised when I read Jessica's mind, that she would lick the empty bowls for a taste of the sauce." Her Holiness added, "That proves how much she liked it."
Good lord, I forgot this is a world of idiots.
