Change of Heart

Lou took Tohka back to his dorm where Shiina was sitting while writing something waiting for them.

He looks at her and curiously asks," Shiina, what are you doing after I go out in the morning?"

Shiina expressionlessly looked at Lou then tilted her head,"... Sleeping…."

"And?"

"..... Eating?..."

"I mean, what ayo usually do whenever I'm out, after all, I want to know what you're really doing in your time while I'm out?" Lou said.

"...Drawing….sketching….. And monitoring …. You…" Shiina dull said.

Lou helplessly looked at this girl, he felt that he was talking to a doll into a human, she lacks in every aspect a teenage girl should have.

"So how can you monitor me?" Lou asked.

"Like this," Shiina took a piece of paper and drew a flying drone, she then put her finger and the drone came out from meth paper.

After that, she draws a monitor and brings it out like what she first does, she then pushes some strange button and then they can see the drone and the monitor link together.

"So basically, everything you draw can come to life?"

Shiina nodded.

"So how many hours can this kind of thing fly?"

".....24 hours…."

Lou felt that she is the one who causes the chill when he goes in training, walking to school even when he is sitting in the classroom.

"So you always did it every day?" Lou can't help but to ask.

Shiina shook her head then said," Mr. Mouse monitor it for me.... While he wakes me up if something happens to you…."

A strange-looking mouse then appears in front of them, a mouse standing in two legs, wearing a red ribbon in the neck and a gentleman's hat.

"Well.. that's cool…. Did you ever try to draw food and try if you can come to life?" Lou suddenly asks.

Shiina then starts to draw a slice of animated meat in the bone, a typical food that people usually see in anime.

And then the meat on a bone appears in front of them, Lou takes it and smells, the smell is right, the question is, how's the taste?

Lou then bite and his face suddenly changes from green, to blue, then to purple, he holds his month and runs inside of the toilet.

Shiina and Tohka can hear a vomiting sound inside of the toilet, it seems the meat is not palatable.

When Lou came back, he looked haggard, he said," The taste is wonderful…. A taste of waste paper and ink combined with the slimy thing, overall, it's unpalatable."

Shiina then took the meat and curios bite, her face did not change but her movement can tell what she was going to do. She walked faster than running and with a slam, she came inside of the toilet.

Tohka curios look at the half-eaten meat and ask," What this?"

"That's food, maybe you never eat but food is delicious, but for that one, don't ever try to bite it because you will suffer for sure," Lou seriously said.

A couple of minutes, Shiina walked weakly beside Lou, she then leaned on his shoulder and said, "Food….."

*Growl~

"Wait for me here, I will prepare dinner," Lou walked in the kitchen and started preparing dinner for them.

Tohka and Shiina walk in the kitchen and sit on the dining table while looking at Lou's cooking process.

Lou took the vegetable and chopped it with a fast and accurate chope, each of the vegetables is cut in a clean and elegant manner.

Then the meat is carefully massaged and marinaded using different kinds of herbs and spices, teh soup is full of bones and some species.

While cooking, the two girls look at Lou's movement, every time he moves is like magic, every pink of herbs is like a festival of aroma and scent that makes the two girls more hungry.

And with one swift cut, and with one swift stir, the dinner is done, Lou walks and puts down the food in front of the two girls.

Even though the two of them are already hungry, they both sit quietly waiting for Lou to finish preparing the table.

And after a couple of minutes, Lou removes his apron and sits down with them then says," Let's eat."

Shiina and Tohka hurry, grab the plates and start to eat.

"What is this?" Tohka ask

"Stir fry vegetables," Lou answered.

"What about this?" Shiina asks.

"Spiced roast beef with red wine gravy,"

"Then what about this?"

"Vegetable Beef Soup"

Tohka and Shiina ask for time to time, and it seems they are going to take note of the thing that they eat today. After all, Lou for the first time uses his knowledge to prepare dinner for them.

After a hard-fought battle at the dining table, Tohka and Shiina both walk wobbly and fall down on the couch while patting their bulging tummy.

"That's fantastic…. "Shiina drowsy said.

"Shiina, don't sleep after you eat, try to wait for half an hour before sleeping," Lou voice ran inside of the kitchen but it's useless. Shiina already fell asleep.

Tohka looked at Shiina who was sleeping beside her defenceless, she felt for the very first time that humans can be trusted, not all of them are like those mecha girls who are trying to hurt her.

Shen then happily said," hey Lou, do you think i can stay here with you?"

Lou who washing plates taken back on what he heard, he smiled and said," Sure, why not,"

"But you need to pay me a kiss," Then teasing said.

"Then here's my payment," Lou heard Tohka's voice behind and someone grabs his head and forcibly turns around, and the only thing Lou remembers is a soft lisp that still tastes what he eats just now.
