Maid Returns

42: Rice Cooker Trouble

[Lun]

Night comes. Lun and Dan's house

my parents and Shuijing are already in Mist... Night time comes, Dan and I are having supper

Lun: Emman and Pearl stayed at the house near the tower
Dan: I see ... Lun, what made you cook this? it taste spicy and sour, it's very new to me...
Lun: that's Par's recipe it's called Hot and Sour noodle soup. Actually, she has a lot of recipes that her parents don't know
Dan: I remembered when she made green tea cake from the rice cooker just to celebrate Hero's birthday
Lun: you're right. I think this girl will ask for more green tea from us

the house bell rings and Dan rushes to the main door then he looks at the screen. When he opens the door...

Dan: Par
Parfait: Good evening Dan
Lun (in the table): speaking of the devil

Parfait: I heard that Chelun!! Dan, your wife called me a devil
Dan: sorry about that Parfait. So what do you need?
Parfait: Dan, can I borrow Lun tomorrow? I will buy an automatic rice cooker and some ingredients in Victoria
Dan: Victoria!?
Parfait: that's where I bought that awesome rice cooker and I want the same model. Mother might kill me if I will use the one for the rice...
Dan: rice cooker is for the rice, not for the cake
Parfait: I know but a rice cooker cooks not just rice
Dan: Parfait, Victoria is too dangerous for us, those men might see the two of you
Parfait: darn!
Dan: sorry Par...
Parfait: please???
Dan: I can't
Parfait: please???
Dan: stop with your puppy eyes
Parfait: Dan please??
Dan: alright, I should go with you, to be safe
Parfait: Yes!!!

I thought Pearl is the one usually do that, Parfait too... then the two of them approach me

Parfait: Lun, you'll go with me
Lun: I heard that and who else is with us?
Parfait: only the three of us

really?? Good thing Dan is with us, to be safe...

Next Day. Victoria

10 in the morning, we arrived in Victoria. This city looks as it is before and the people are rushing.

Immediately, Parfait calls the cab and then go inside

Parfait: Electro Alley please!
driver: okay
Lun: I think it's better to buy the food first than the rice cooker
Dan: foods are perishable, she can buy it later
Lun: the cooker is bulky,heavy, and hassle
Dan: I am here, I can carry the rice cooker. Just buy the cooker first
Lun: I see
Parfait: I thought you will argue like my parents usually do
Lun: No

At the Appliances Store

I really like the interior design, its kaleidoscope and I'm having fun looking at it. - Dan

Lun separated from them to buy the food that Parfait needs. At the appliances store, Parfait sees the automatic rice cooker

Parfait: this is the same model as ours, I'll take this
Dan: that's the one?
Parfait: I don't want to buy another model of and I can decorate it to look different from the one at the house
Dan: I see

suddenly, a man holds Parfait's shoulder and the man gets a knife.

She pokes Dan's shoulder many times. When he's about to attack her, Dan kicks the man's head. The man falls and two men are approaching to them

Dan: Par, he has companions
Parfait: darn, who are these good looking guys??

one of the men gets a gun and points at them. Dan sees Lun running and she kicks the man holding the gun. Then Dan punches the other man.

As the men lie down, the three of them begin to run towards outside the store. Parfait throws the money to the door for others not to think that she is shoplifting.

while running...

Dan: the bus terminal is too far from here!!
Parfait: let's get a cab to bring us there

when Lun looks back

Lun: Par!!! the men and the store guards are chasing us!!!
Parfait: DARN IT!!! I ALREADY PAID FOR THE RICE COOKER!!!!
Dan: YOU THREW 700 coins AT THE STORE, THEY SHOULD HAVE GET IT!!
Lun: those dangerous yet good looking men, who are they?
Parfait: I don't know, but they're after us

suddenly, when the reach the dead-end, three men block their way

Parfait: darn

Parfait places the rice cooker at the corner and she goes back

Lun: who are you?
man: we killed a lot of princess-maid agents and you're next!!!
man: Die Ms. Neapolitan! (points the gun at her)
Parfait: die your a*se

Parfait kicks the man as Lun and Dan attacks the other two. The two men behind them punch the store guards.

The people begin to run away from the fight. Lun begins to panic as she sees that it's three against five fight.

One man suddenly hits Parfait with a baseball bat and she falls. It hurts very bad!

Dan: PAR!!!
Lun: she's bleeding!!!

The men begin to attack the couples as Lun and Dan are defending themselves. During the fight, Parfait moves her hands, looks at the men and begins to evil grin

Parfait: you hit a wrong person...GIIYYYYYAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!

she attacks the men as Lun and Dan step backwards. Parfait punches,kicks and wrestles the men.

Dan: she's crazy, why don't I join her?

Dan helps her in attacking the men until the men are badly hurt. The men are crazily attacked by these two, as the fire-breathing moster and a baby faced assasin collaborated. After the fight, they tie the men using the rope.

Parfait: thank you Dan, Lun...
Lun: good thing you helped her Dan, you baby-faced assassin
Dan: what did you say?
Lun: you're my baby-faced assassin! What else do you like? chocolate boy? caramel boy? egg crepe??
Parfait: HAHAHAHAHA
Lun: *chuckles what's next?
Dan: kill them like what they did to the princess-maids
Parfait: we're not the killers here. let's just give them a warning note

Then Lun sees a flaming torch, she gets it and gives it to Parfait, then Parfait goes near to the men

Parfait: who is the mastermind?
man: WE WILL NOT TELL!!
Parfait: you're talking to me like that,huh?

Parfait gets the torch and begins to place the fire to the men. The men are screaming in pain as she continues placing the flame to them.

men:AAAAAAHHHHH!!!
man: YOU'RE INDEED THE FIRE BREATHING MONSTER!!!
Parfait: I AM!!! AND IF YOU WILL NOT ANSWER MY QUESTIONS, YOU'RE WILL HAVE THE SAME FATE AS WHAT YOU DID TO THE AGENTS!!!!
men: WE WILL TELL! WE WILL TELL!
man: he's called honey!!!
Parfait: are you joking!? why would a mastermind named himself a honey!?
man: do you even care!?

They're making all of us stupid. I'll burn the - Dan

Dan kicks all of them, the men are all unconscious. Then he gets the torch from Parfait, and he burns all of them.

Parfait: Dan, why did you!?
Dan: we should not waste our time dealing with them, let's go back to Provence

then the three of them begin to dash towards the main road
