"Sigh, it seems I have to get used to this new appearance," Fein muttered bitterly. Recalling how his mother and sister looked at him when they saw his white hair depressed him. They really thought that he dyed his hair to look cool!
But is Fein that kind of person? He doesn't really care much about appearance. Though, to not be a hypocrite. There's no person that would reject having a good-looking face. Fein was actually quite cool about it. But after it brought him troubles like attracting a crazy woman to now receiving strange looks. Fein has to say that it was quite uncomfortable!
But Fein has the mindset of not losing himself just to meet everyone's expectations. He doesn't care about other strangers' opinions. Though, he still cares about the thoughts of his friends and family that were dear to him.
'Well, never mind about this. I have to go to Ranger's Eye today. My instinct kept telling me that something happened.' Fein clenched his fist and walked briskly towards their living room.
As Fein walked, he noticed that the ground and the walls didn't even have a speck of dust on them. The shoes and slippers were also neatly arranged in one place.
'Damn... My mother is really a clean freak.' Fein couldn't help but think of how Mellisa was cleaning the entire house every three hours.
Melissa won't just stop until she can't see dust anymore. She did not spare even the nook and crannies. Under her hawk-like eyes, she could almost see the part of the house that she needed to clean.
Actually, Fein was quite impressed with the style of the new house they bought. He didn't notice it at first. But now as his eyes roamed throughout the place. He has to say that the designs and arrangement of every room in the house were aesthetically beautiful and thoughtful.
Just the walls in the corridor gave his eyes a relaxing feeling because of the azure paint they use. He felt that he was in the sky due to it. He didn't know if it was just his preference, but the blue color always calm his nerves. Then, there are also wooden figurines on the sides of the door.
'And the ceiling of this house was quite thick.' Fein lifted his head while walking. He doesn't feel the pangs the sun brought, and he didn't perspire much because the house has good ventilation.
"Good morning! Are you gonna cook now?" Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice in front of him.
Fein looked at the source of the voice and saw his sister wearing her blue pajamas with flowery designs, yawning constantly, and her messy hair took her mature look away.
He gave out a smile at his sister and greeted her. "Good morning. Yes, I will cook a little earlier than usual because I have to go to our base."
"But there's no mission currently." Fey rubbed her eyes. Then she walked beside her brother. "After my last mission, the captain didn't give me a new one."
"Well, that's because you already proved yourself with your records." Fein chuckled. He paused a little and his face became serious. "I don't know why, but I can't seem to relax for a moment after waking up today. A bad feeling is constantly bugging me."
Fey looked at her brother with a worried expression. "Did something go wrong?"
"No, it's just a bad feeling. But I trust my instincts because it saved me a lot of times now." Fein shook his head.
Just like that, the two came to the living room while talking about each other's affairs.
"By the way, why did you dye your hair?" Fey sat on the sofa and asked her brother with genuine curiosity.
Hearing Fey's question made, Fein stopped in his tracks. He looked at his sister, dumbfounded. "T-this... I didn't dye it or something. It's just the effect of my scientific experiments." He gave Fey an awkward smile.
'Ohhh... Did I just ask a sensitive question?' Fey noticed her brother's expression and couldn't but think. She glanced at her brother up and down. Actually, she was quite amazed by her brother's current appearance. For her, he looks cooler, and he was exuding a different kind of charisma with his new appearance. She genuinely thinks that her brother became even more attractive.'So it was one of his experiments?'
"What's wrong? I really love your new hair. Though I'm not quite sure about your red pupils."
'Can we just stop talking about this?' Fein almost felt suffocated when his sister was talking about his looks. He was glad that she likes his new hair because he also thought that it looks cool.
"Well, I can't do anything about my left eye. And fun fact, I can see four times clearer with this eye." He wasn't lying. He already tried it, and he can see four times the detail his normal right eye can see with his left eye. Apart from this, he didn't discover any abilities like those in Anime, which was a pity.
Suddenly Fey's stomach churned, and her cheeks reddened. She hurriedly ran to the kitchen and drank a glass of water.
When she turned around, she saw Fein looking at her with a smirk. "What??"
"Nothing," Fein pursed his lips, trying to hold back his laugh. "Well, I'll cook now. Since your stomach is already complaining."
In a few minutes, three egg fried rice was served on the table with three portions of bacon on top. Then there are also three glasses of milk beside the plates.
"I can only prepare this much because I'm in a hurry." Fein sat on the table and started to scoop the rice with his spoon.
Fey was already chewing the egg-fried rice, and she can't talk because food filled her mouth.
Even though what he cooked looks simple. It could rival the top dishes the chefs in this world could cook. After all, Fein's cooking skills had already reached lvl 20. As strong as his swordsmanship! And he also used special golden granules which could enhance the flavors of the food by three times.
Just like that, the two ate vigorously and drank the milk after. Then Fein instructed his sister to reheat their mother's breakfast if she woke up. After that, he bid her goodbye and left.
