Hero of Harmony (Continued)

Chapter 215: Home, Sweet, Home

Since I currently felt terrible about myself and there was nothing better to do, I left the house, heading towards the Mage Guild to spend the rest of the day with Kurama; however, unluckily for me, she was performing alchemy so I couldn't speak with her, which meant I spent my time getting to know Kana, her disciple.

Kana was pretty chill; she was a little blunt with questions, but other than that, she seemed like a nice woman; well, this also excluded the fact that she was a little bit of a pervert. I always catch her staring at my but and crotch, which was a little uncomfortable, but it wasn't too hard to pretend I never noticed her actions. However, it was a little confusing; Kana was slightly up there in age, around Yuki's age, but she still looked great, and I had no doubt she could easily sleep with a man to satisfy her sexual desires.

'Haa, I don't know; maybe she's the picky type, and I just happen to be her type? Or maybe she is just a bigger pervert than I thought.' Mused Alexander lightly as he walked down the street of Cassandra and rubbed his chin.

Those were thoughts I could save for later as I arrived at our new home a few minutes later. When I entered the house, I noticed no one besides Lazuli and Talis was on the first floor; everyone else seemed to be on the second floor.

"When will we get furniture, Alex? The hard floor doesn't feel good." Asked Talis with a frown as she lifted her head and glanced at Alexander, who sighed in exhaustion.

"Tomorrow, so just deal with it for now." Replied Alexander lightly as he glanced at Talis, who chirped in annoyance while flapping her wings, though she promptly ignored her.

We could've bought the house with furniture, but that would've cost five extra gold, which would've been three extra gold we don't have; besides, that was a complete scam as well. We could probably buy all of the required furniture for less than ten silver, fifteen silver if we really wanted to splurge; so knowing that, why would I waste so much money?

"Only a fool would." Muttered Alexander lightly as he entered the kitchen, only to sigh when he noticed the several sacks sprawled on the island.

"Haa, Lazuli, can you come help me." Said Alexander with a slight frown as he tossed his jacket onto the counter, only to turn and glance at Lazuli, who approached him.

"Yes, you called Alexander?" Asked Lazuli with a bland expression as she glanced at Alexander, who pointed toward the island, causing her to tilt her head in confusion.

"Can you help me put all this stuff away?" Replied Alexander lightly as he stretched slightly before grabbing a sack and dumping all its contents onto the island, prompting Lazuli to nod.

With Lazuli's help, things went much faster; granted, she had no idea where things were supposed to go in the beginning, so informing her was a slow process, but once she learned, she moved with quickness. By the time we finished, only an hour had passed, though by then, the entire cabinets, pantry, fridge, and whatnot were nearly filled, giving Lazuli a high-five, something she's long since been taught about.

Putting on my only apron, I grabbed a pot, pan, and numerous ingredients and started cooking while Lazuli curiously watched me. Halfway through, I heard heavy footsteps walking down the stairs as Yuki entered the kitchen, though only after giving Lazuli a stare.

"No touching, Yuki." Said Alexander sternly as he eyed Yuki, who stood beside him, causing her to grunt in annoyance while she folded her arms before backing away.

A few minutes later, I heard another pair of footsteps walking down the stairs, which could only be Michelle and Chloe; speaking of those two, I don't think either of them had tasted a true dish of mine. Anyways, other than a quick glance, which allowed me to confirm Michelle was still very pissed at me, I continued cooking and only finished roughly thirty minutes later.
