Volume 7 Chapter 45: I Wasn’t The One Who Cooked It This Time
"What's the matter with you? You've been like that for so long." Nephele turned over to Diana, who had a spaced-out look. And it wasn't right now, either.
"What do you mean?"
"You've been having that spaced-out look when Keith went to the kitchen." Nephele noticed how she was spaced out when they talked.
"It's nothing." I should do it. Diana made a decision in her mind.
...
The next day, Keith got up; he was ready to prepare breakfast. But when he walked outside, he noticed a burning smell. His eyes widened. Did I not close the stove?! There was no hesitation as his figure blurred, dashing to the kitchen to find out. That was when he saw the cause of this smell.
"Woah!" What he saw was a giant fire. And the one who caused this fire was,
"Ah, hello, Keith!" Diana had a wry face as she held onto the pan.
"You can't cook like that." Keith quickly tossed a towel over the fire, extinguishing it. He closed the knob.
"..." There was an eirree silence afterwards.
"Mind telling me what you're doing?" It was surprising to see it was Diana who caused the fire. This was something he expected the others to do. But Diana, not in a million years.
"...I just wanted to cook a meal for everyone." Diana scratched her head.Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com
"Eh?"
"I wanted to pick up all the work you do on the island. You have a lot of work with you practicing your shield and now constructing the island. I wanted to be helpful." Diana had seen Keith hard at work. He focused on four things: cooking, practicing with his shield, constructing the island, and studying. There was a lot on his plate.
"Understood." Diana took one and was prepared to do the same. But when she did,
"Ah," The cracked eggs went flying everywhere.
"It's fine. Just fix your strength the second time." He did the same thing when he started with eggs.
"If you're a little anxious, you can crack it into a bowl and then pour it into the pan." That was also a simpler method.
"Okay." Diana nodded as she cracked the egg into a bowl and poured it into the pan.
"Yay! I did it!" Diana did a light jump in her place.
Keith nodded, "Good. The only thing you need to do is wait and let it cook."
"Mmhmm," Diana stared intently at it. But that caused Keith to scratch his head. Diana, it doesn't do anything if you stare at it like that. Staring did not help out at all.
After a few minutes,
"Why did mine come out like this?" The spirit's eyes glanced at her egg and then back to Keith's. His egg was perfect. Yet hers were burnt.
"Did I stare at it for too long?"
"..." A chuckle came out, "But it's better than what you had cooked before." Black paste to sunny-side-up egg. The difference was uncanny.
"Mmhmm!"
"Now, let's start with the bacon now." There were a lot more things they needed to cook for everyone.
"Mmhmm." Diana nodded as she cooked the bacon as well.
