77 Unbelievably lucky!

She stretched and then hummed for a while when the thought of the bitter taste of coffee would make the morning even more perfect.

"I think coffee would make it better" she open her menu and bought few coffee packs. Kuro sleeping bare form was so deliciously enticing , showing his backside. His face was half hidden on the side, that urged Iiana to kiss his bare back.

She dazed for a moment as she remember last night event. It finally rain on a barren and dry land, if you get what I mean.

Kuro hand wrapped around her neck and gave her a light peck on her lips.

"Morning, sweetheart" his hoarse voice strummed the happiness strings inside of her.

Can't believe that she had to be reborn in another world to get this. She cant help but think that she should've died earlier to experience this sooner. But regret would play a different tune and she was learning to accept and be grateful for everything that had happened.

"Morning dear. I'll go prepare some breakfast first" kuro left eyes open slightly, frowning.

"No, stay.. you still sore from last night, you should rest"

Iiana smiled and pat his tight butt. Naughty hand.

"I am but hey, I can still move. I'm craving something delicious right now and you know nobody can make it like I do" Kuro couldn't say anything to that because he knows what she said was true. He just groaned and put his face on the pillow. He said something along the line that.

'Should've f**k you harder last night. Then you'll stay on the bed all day long with me'

"Pleass wear something first.. I don't want that Arya bastard to see that" his voice can be heard over the thick bed she had bought online from the menu yesterday. They made a makeshift bed at the corner of the living room and it didn't even seems out of place.

Iiana took out a simple thin A dress out from her inventory and move toward the kitchen. She cooked a fried rice and prepared some pancakes. While whipping the battered the teenage boy peek inside the kitchen while rubbing his eyes.

"Oh, Its you madam. What are you cooking?"

"Something good. Help me prepare the cups and plates. Its almost ready."

The boy nodded and went to prepare as he was instructed to.

The table was set with all the food and drinks on the dining table. Everyone sat waiting, but keep on sniffing the scent coming out from the kitchen.they had this expectant look on their face as the menu was laid on the table.

"Bon appetite!" Said Iiana. When all of them look at her in dumbfounded look, she sighed.

"It means, let's eat or something"

"Truly a dish from heaven!!! I can die peacefully now. No, wait. If I die now, I wont get to eat this more. It seems I really need to stick with you, Iiana" said him while stuffing more pancakes inside his mouth after pouring the chocolate syrup on it. Iiana rolled her eyes and took her time to eat her food. What a bunch of hooligans.

***********

"Wait, what? Are you telling me that this is an artifact??!!" Iiana eyes almost bulged out from her eye socket.

They were talking about the men that came to the village, tress passing. And when the story deviate to why they came and Iiana showed them the mask, and that was when the story became long as they told her about the mask.

"Ancient artifact to be exact and it even had recognised you as the owner" said Arya begrudgingly yet he couldn't hold it against her. It was her luck. He had tried his best to find it but couldn't.

Did Arya stays here because of the treasure mask? Iiana began to wonder but then she,

Iiana smile widely and clapped her hands.

"So, tell me.. what exactly can it do?"

"I only know one. It can summoned powerful dragonia to fight for you. But as you are now, I doubt it. You are three hundred years too early for that. I heard there's a lot more secrets behind it but nobody knew what. Since its one of the lost treasure that had been gone for a long, long time"

Iiana grinned and getting more excited at the prospect of having a dragon on her beck and call. Her dazed look made Kuro sigh and shook his head.

"I wonder what's inside your mind right now"

Iiana blinks couple of time and smile sweetly at Kuro.

"Nothing. Nothing at all" that made Arya leaned forward, curiosity made him want to know what had she imagined. This weirdly mysterious woman made one want to explore her mind slowly. And something in him told him that whenever she show that kind of face, she had some wicked or mischief plans that would definitely drive Kuro crazy with headaches.

"Now, that made me want to know even more. Don't mind us and just share some of your thoughts to us."

Iiana, being a professional to avoid topics, she clapped her hands-because she learned from her past life that always seems the best tools to disturb people focus and delay peoples processing thoughts-and smile.

"I made some pineapple tart and egg tart. How about trying it out?" Just when Arya opened his mouth to protest, the boy voice cut through the awkward atmosphere.

"Egg... tart? Pen appil tart? What is that??"The boy's back went straight and his eyes sparkled with interest.

"It's pineapple.. its... a really, really super rare type of fruit." Iiana look away and crossed her finger. By all means, it is indeed super rare fruit and cannot be found in this world. So, its not like she's lying or anything. And the boy doesn't need to know that.

She ran to the kitchen and take it out from an oven. Putting down the desserts on the table, she took the egg tart and showed them how to eat it. They took it and ate it slowly with cautious. But that gimic only last for a few seconds. They began to stuffed their face like there's no tomorrow.

"Boy, looking at you guys eating that...I wonder how would you react when I served a pan full of cheese pizza with stuffed crust cheese. Bet you'll go crazy about it"

That perked Kuro up. What Iiana learned from being together with her husband is that he is a big fan of cheese. You just name it. All type of cheese would be his first pick of the menu that it almost become a taboo for her to say it out loud, if she wish to laze around the whole day. Else,she had to camped inside the kitchen for the entire day just to fill her husband hunger for cheese.

************

"We need to go back. Our adopted son had been crying alone, it seems." Said Kuro with worried frown on his face. Iiana thought about the dark shadow that had appeared beside her husband couple of minutes ago and then vanished again in a blink of an eye.

They had settled the whole place and properly done all the funeral and burials of the whole villagers. The boy become somber and his head hung low. It was never a good feeling to say your final good bye to your family and friends. One need to learn how to steel their heart to overcome their grieve and keep on moving forward .

"Then how about this guy?" Arya point his thumb at the teenage boy.

"Come to think of it. I never learned his name."added Arya as an afterthought. Iiana was slightly embarrassed for that since she herself never bothered to asked the boy his real name and simply call him boy.

The boy saw the guilty look from Iiana and quickly reply.

"I'm called Rolem." It never crossed his mind to introduce himself before this and he was used to the villagers to call him boy or little guy. At the very least, he doesn't want to make his saviour felt guilty over smallest thing.

"But I was always called boy around the village. I almost forgot about my own name"

Kuro raised his eyebrow.

"Well then Rolem, What is your plan now?" Kuro didn't point out the obvious fact that he was all alone now hat he had in mind about his future.

"I wish to serve mistress Iiana."

"It's gonna be tough job. She's a mayhem cloth in a human skin, are you sure?" asked Arya, trying to dissuade the boy.

"Even so.. I will still serve her."

Four of them, including the silent Nagi all glance at Iiana.

She raised both of her arms.

"But I already have Nagi as my butler. I don't need anyone else-wait." Something suddenly popped inside her mind. Her rose coloured lips suddenly curved upward.
