Darling in the Franxx: Code Zero

Chapter 8 - Miss Amai and Gin

"Welcome back, Gin. Welcome, Code Zero." She said smiling.

Continued....

"Hello again Miss Amai!" Gin yelled softly so the other Adults couldn't hear him.

An older Adult lady stood at the door, smiling. She gestured to Gin and I to come on in. Gin walked in with me still holding his hand, hidden under my cloak. She shut the door behind her and then went into a kitchen area.

"Come here, Code Zero. We both can sit on the couch while we wait." Gin said.

I followed Gin to the couch and sat beside him. I looked around the Adults' home. It was sort of like the 9's dorms, but a bit bigger. I saw a kitchen area that Miss Amai had gone into. There was also stairs that must lead to bedrooms and bathrooms. I looked over at Gin who had found a book and began reading it.

"There once was a young child named Zen. He was found alone and a bit injured and afraid. A woman named Yukki found Zen. She brought him into her home and cared for him." He read.

"What type of book is that about Gin?" I asked.

He turned towards me and was about to speak until Miss Amai came and cut him off.

"Come here, you two. Here is some food to eat on the table." She said.

We walked over to the small table and sat with Miss Amai. Gin brought the book with to tell me all about it. Miss Amai noticed and she smiled at it.

"Ah that's our favorite one, Gin." She said happily.

"Yeah it is. To answer your question that you asked me earlier Code Zero, this book is about me and Miss Amai meeting and our lives." He said smiling at the book in his hands.

"Your lives?" I asked confused.

They both looked at me and then began to explain.

"Lives are something everyone has. It something very precious. It's like a story about you and everything that has happened throughout your time alive and your memories." Said Miss Amai.

I sat there thinking to myself about "lives". It sounds like a beautiful thing.

"If it weren't for Miss Amai and her act of courage for breaking the rules for me, I would have never met you or Miss Amai, or even Zero Two. And for that I am grateful to have you all in my life." Gin said smiling at us happily.

I looked at Miss Amai who smiled at me and then at Gin. I smiled at them both with happiness.

"Thank you Miss Amai. I am very grateful that you found Gin, even if you know what could happen. I am really appreciate your courage." I told her.

"Oh, little Code Zero. Your welcome. Well now let's enjoy this wonderful meal I had prepared for you both." She says pointing at the different pots.

She opened them all up and when I saw what was in them, I began to have a little drool come from my mouth. Gin also looked this way. We both looked up and Miss Amai told us something.

"Go ahead you two! Dig in!" She said smiling at us both.

Me and Gin did not hesitate. We grabbed all kinds of food that Miss Amai had prepared for us. When I tasted it, it was the most amazing food I had ever tasted. I looked up and saw Miss Amai eating with us.

"Thank you, Miss Amai. It tastes amazing. It's the best food I have ever tasted in my entire life!" I told her.

She began to laugh and smiled at us.

"Your very welcome, Code Zero." She said to me.

We all continued to eat until there was nothing left. Gin carried all of the dishes to the kitchen area and began to wash them. Miss Amai and I went back to the living room quarters. Miss Amai had grabbed the book about Gin and her's life and then sat down.
