Hero of Harmony (Continued)

Chapter 250: Chef Vestalis Strikes Again!

"... So, do you have anything to say for yourself, little girl?" Asked Vanimo sternly as he stood on the couch while pointing at Vanye, who sat on her knees with her head down.

"No." "Hmph, I thought so." Said Vanye and Vanimo, respectively, as the latter grunted in slight anger while folding his arms.

"Give me your sword; I'm grounding you for the next week, and don't try to talk back; my decision is final. Unless you wish for me to extend it." Stated Vanimo firmly as he eyed Vanye, who raised her head with widened eyes, only for her to click her tongue in annoyance.

'S-Sorry.' Muttered Alexander apologetically as he mouthed the words to Vanye, who stared dagger at him while she reluctantly handed over her sword to Vanimo.

"Hmph, I'm disappointed, Vanye." Said Vanimo softly with a deep frown as he glanced at Vanye, who bit her lip while lowering her head, only for him to leap off the couch before approaching his room.

Watching Vanimo enter his room, I turned and glanced at Vanye, who stayed sitting in the same spot for a few minutes before finally standing up.

"I-I'm sorry, Vanye; I-I didn't know he would get so upset." Said Alexander apologetically as he approached Vanye, who shot him a glare before closing her eyes and turning away, causing him to sigh.

Sighing to myself, I gave Vanye some space since she looked to be quite annoyed with me, though when I glanced at Lazuli, I could've sworn I saw her smiling, which caused me to shake my head as I suddenly clapped my hands afterward.

"Hey, Vanye, do you mind if I use your kitchen to make dinner for you? It'll be my way to apologize to you." Asked Alexander with a raised eyebrow as he glanced at Vanye, who raised her head before scoffing and looking away.

"Sure, whatever, I don't care." Replied Vanye as she lay on the couch, ignoring Alexander, who smiled.

"Hehe, you're not going to be disappointed... Hopefully. I've seen a lot of ingredients I've never heard of before." Stated Alexander with a faint smirk as he clenched his fist in victory, only to awkwardly rub his head while glancing at Vanye, who paid him no heed.

Reaching into my space pouch, I equipped my trusty apron, which I always keep on me, and confidentially entered the kitchen before opening the fridge and various cabinets. Seeing what I had to work with, I rubbed my chin, trying to formulate various dishes. Unfortunately, there were too many ingredients I'd never worked with before, so I wasn't entirely confident the dish would come out how I'd like.

"Alright, fuck it. I'm going in blind... Let's just hope everything comes out good." Muttered Alexander with a deep breath as he grabbed a pot, pan, and various ingredients.

'Language, Master.' Said Zartha coldly, her words causing Alexader to roll his eyes as he set everything up on the counter on either side of the stove.

Since I didn't know what most of these ingredients tasted like, I did a taste test of each one, only to nod as I grabbed a box of noodles while filling the pot with water.

"Yep, that's spaghetti and meatballs." Said Alexander with a nod as he began working, cooking the noodles while morphing the available meat into small spheres.

Spaghetti was easy to make; the problem was the meatballs since there wasn't enough meat of one kind, which meant I needed to mix two different types of meat; thankfully, they tasted good together, so I was lucky.

After adding the meatballs and noodles to the boiling pot, I chopped various vegetables and added them to the pot, adding oil as needed.

'Eh, they've got alcohol? Might as well as use that as well.' Thought Alexander with a raised eyebrow as he took a sip of alcohol before pouring some of it onto the pan, causing it to erupt into flames.
