The Demon Saint is Missing, so I Ran to Another World

Burning Jealousy (Part 2)

The sounds of the bells ringing finally woke me up. Looking at the hourglass nearby, I saw it was already the 8th hour. The bells at the Saint's Cathedral would be rung every time the clock strikes that moment.

Though, if I may say, this is the first time in a long while that I noticed that sound. Ah, in any case, I'll do stuff later; let me sleep with Kuro some more—

"..." When I turned to my side to hold him in my arms, Kuro was missing from his bed. My sleepiness immediately dissipated; I looked for him on the floor at the other side of the bed, but here was only a pillow and a blanket there (he must've slept on the floor again). No sign of my fiancée.

Fear quickly enveloped my heart. Though I knew that the Holy Palatial Gardens were more secure than the Academy, I still couldn't let Kuro go around without me at his side. He couldn't speak our language, and he might get lost in this place. Wasting no time, I hurried out.

"Ah, Your Holiness!" the paladins posted at the doors of Kuro's room kneeled the moment they saw me. "Good day to you!"

"Where's Kuro?"

"Her Highness the Lady Lily is with him, Your Holiness," one of them answered. "And Lady Usarved too."

Ugh, that demon girl again.

"Where did they go?"

"Lady Lily told us they're heading to the kitchen," the paladin grinned. "It seems the Lord Kuro wants to cook something, according to them."

The paladins giggled; they're thinking that it was cute when Kuro cooks? Ha! His food is the best!

At once, I uttered a teleport spell and headed to the place they've gone to, arriving just outside the building.

"..." Taking a peek before I entered, I saw Lily, Kuro and Lady Usarved, along with the other maids of that department. My fiancée had just finished baking what looked to me as cookies.

"What do you think, Lady Usarved?" Lily asked the demon girl.

"It looks pretty good and well-made," she commented, before turning to Kuro. "Alam nyo pong mag-bake Sir?" (You know how to bake, Sir?)

Kuro nodded, "Yeah, bilang pasalamat na lang din sa inyo kase inaalagaan nyo ako." (Yeah, it's my thanks because you guys are taking care of me.)

"What did he say?"

"Sir Kuro wants to thank us by baking these cookies."

"Aww...how sweet of you!" Lily smiled and pinched his cheeks lightly, much to his pleasant surprise.

This guy...he takes his time to make those stuff to others, but not for me?

Watching them made me really irritated right now. However, I don't want to show myself to them in this state, so I just got another teleport spell going, and returned to Kuro's room.

I think I did just fine.

"..."

Baking all those cookies to give to everyone in the palatial gardens—the servants and the paladins—sure took some time. Fortunately, Miss Lily and Lady Noir, along with the other servants in the Kitchen Department, helped me finished faster than I expected.

"Hey sir, 'wag po kayong mag-alala. Palagay ko po magugustuhan ng Kanyang Kabanalan yang ibibigay nyo. Masarap kaya sya!" (Hey sir, don't worry. I think Her Holiness would love that cookie bag you'll give her. The cookies are delicious!) Maybe Lady Noir noticed that I'd been looking at the cookie bag I was holding, that's why she said that to reassure me.
