Kill This Love

#8 Cute Girl

Neru and Risa are having breakfast in the organisation base's cafeteria.

"Neru, do you really have to go to that alley?"

"I already told you that. I'm not gonna change my mind," Neru said while munching the food in her mouth.

"But..."

"I'll be fine, Risa. You don't have to worry about me, I'm a professional assassin." Neru reassured Risa who is looking at her now with a face of doubt.

"But you got stabbed in the stomach," Risa reminded Neru of the humiliating event that occurred in the alley.

"Ugh, don't remind me of that," Neru groaned. "I know that happened but that had passed. I'm not going to repeat the same mistake again."

"You're not going to stop me from worrying even if you say that"

"Risa, you worrying about me isn't going to help me in any way. Right now what I need from you is your trust and support." Neru said in a serious tone of voice.

Risa looked down, staring at her untouched katsudon. She haven't eaten it because she was too busy thinking of Neru and her decision to go to the alley.

"Eat your katsudon. Rika-chan cooked it with her full effort, y'know." Neru said before taking another spoon of katsudon into her mouth.

"Rika? Who's that?" Risa asked with a confused face. "As far as I know, in this cafeteria we have only one chef which is Nako-chan."

"Ah, right. You were in the bathroom. Just now a person delivered our food, and it wasn't Nako-chan. It was someone else. She said she's a chef replacing Nako-chan for a temporary time since Nako-chan has stuff to deal with at her hometown. Her name is Rika."

"Oh." Risa responded shortly before taking a spoon of katsudon into her mouth.

"She has the same first name as you, too."

Risa spit her food and coughed.

"Hey, just because you guys share the same first name doesn't mean you have to get all surprised."

"This... This food is so bad!" Risa said and continue to cough several times.

"Huh? What do you mean? It tastes fine to me."

"Are you crazy? This food is inedible! It tastes like raw egg!" Risa complained with a disgusted face.

"Wow, you're rude."

"I don't care, I'm going to have a talk with this terrible chef" Risa stood up and made her way to the cafeteria kitchen where only chefs are allowed.

Neru just watched as Risa entered the kitchen through the door. She kinked her eyebrows then continued to eat her katsudon.

In the kitchen

Risa looked around the kitchen. Her eyes catched a person who's standing facing her back and had a tall white hat on her head. She walked over to the person.

"Excuse me-"

"Hai." The person turned around to face Risa, and made Risa's face slightly blush.

'Wow, she's kinda cute' is what Risa thought.

"Anything that I can help, miss?" The person asked with a shy smile. Risa blushed again.

"Oh, um... Etto... I... was wondering if I could use the sink in your kitchen... To.. To wash my hands" Risa rubbed her hands together, showing an action of washing hands.
