After he asked a question that was sexual harassment, I slapped his face hard. But what caught my attention was just how he casually ignored he was slapped. It was as if he never was hurt
"[{~¦no, no, no…. Think about it!-¦~}]"
Why the hell should I think about that dumb question?
"Now let me ask you this! As a boy, do you sometimes have the urge to just remove your semen from your body by inserting a needle into your penis?!"
I counter-argued against him. That should shut him off
"[{~ That would be illogical, I can just do the deed with my hand and my semen will go out without the need for a needle.¦~}]
I now regret counter-arguing. I should've just ignored it.
He now began yapping about more insane things like "If a guy removes his balls and inserts them inside a woman, will the woman get pregnant" or "What would a bowl of female reproductive egg cells taste like". How I wish I never had ears to listen to his questions. What is he, a philosopher? If so, then he would be the degenerate one who lives naked in the streets.
"All right, all right! I get it! Now please teleport me home!"
I stayed with him for a couple of 15 minutes to keep him company, but that was the worst mistake of my life.
He flashed a grin after I said it to him. Am I supposed to feel worried? Because I am now feeling worried.
The view around us changed in an instant just like yesterday. There was no sight of space warping, it was just like our positions being placed there suddenly.
'Wait, why is he walking towards the door?'
Ashura now at reach to the door, began knocking on the door. This sight greatly confused me, why did he want to meet up with my parents? Please don't tell me he will just start yapping about "What if a man boils his testicles and eats it"…. Wait, why am I thinking of that? Darn him! He is a bad influence on my imagination.
The door opened up and there was my maid holding the door open. The maid's name was Stella.
"[{~¦Greetings-¦~}]"
He bowed slowly with elegance, I could never imagine him being that elegant.
"[{~¦I am here for a job offer, I believe it is for cooking¦~}]"
Um, what!? Why does he want to become our Chef!?
The maid fully opened the door and let us in. But I still couldn't comprehend the fact that this guy had a chance of becoming our chef. Luckily, I doubt he can cook anything other than potatoes. This was just a guess, of course, I mean he always eats potatoes, and they will reject him if all he cooks are potatoes.
I split off, he went to the kitchen, and I went to my room to change my clothes. Of course, I could've just stayed in my room, but my curiosity won. I opened the door from my room, walked down the stairs, and into the kitchen, there I found Ashura and my parents discussing something.
"Now, about your salary-."
"[{~¦eh, I don't really care about that! As long as the ingredients don't come from my own pocket, I am good….. I just need a room, and free ingredients to use ~}]"
Of course, he wouldn't care, he is an aristocrat, a rich one. He has a lot of farms in the countryside.
I tugged his shirt
"Hey, may I talk to you in private for a second?"
He nodded silently and we removed ourselves from the kitchen and placed ourselves in my room.
"So, what is it that you are planning?
He just shrugged his shoulders and tilted his head to the right
"[{~¦nothing….¦~}]"
"Then tell me, why would you like to become our chef?"
He began clicking his tongue while waving a finger in front of me
"[{~ It's not that I want to become your chef, it is the fact that I can now abandon that house. That house is just trouble, I had to pay my employees. It's not that I am annoyed at not wanting free labor, it is just that I am annoyed wasting my time paying them. And there is also the fact that lands now have huge taxes, so yes. Win-win for both of us¦~}]"
He continued
"[{~¦I get free housing without the need to pay taxes in this house, plus I can use the ingredients freely.¦~}]"
"How is that a win for us? Are you just gonna keep cooking us boiled potatoes until we die?"
"[{~¦Ha! As if you can die¦~}]"
I ignored that comment and swallowed a saliva. I am scared, I do not want to eat potatoes for the rest of my life.
He opened the door to my room and was about to exit, but he turned around with a smug.
"[{~¦You are a pretty bold female, inviting a boy in her room¦~}]"
I felt my right eye twitch in frustration, and he already getting the response he wanted, exited the room. I quickly followed him to the kitchen where he would be cooking for the first time. I wonder what he would be cooking to impress my parents…
He picked up a plate that carried a huge beef, I was surprised that he didn't cook any potatoes. The smell was fantastic, the air was filled with a rich aroma filled with herbs, spices, the meat, and butter. He placed the plate on the table and let out a gentle smile.
Unto his appearance, from a 2-dimensional point of view about his face, he is absurdly handsome. And then there are his eyes and his smile which just makes his already handsome face even more handsome. His eyes are hypnotizing, they are like the most precious of gems. And then there is his smile which just enhances his eyes even more.
But I'd say he is more cuter than handsome. I am not declining that he is handsome, no no. He is just more cute than handsome. His face and body are really small which boosts up his cuteness, but lowers his handsomeness.
Wait why am I thinking about this? I quickly shook my head and asked him a question
"So, why don't you eat first? You might poison us"
"Evelyn!"
My father reprimanded me for my actions toward our "chef"
"[{~¦sadly, I can't eat my own food. I have a certain health condition that makes me allergic to all food except potatoes, milk, and chocolate¦~}]"
"How sad!"
He got my father's pity.
"Yeah, how sad"
I rolled my eyes. This is bullshit!
My father began cutting the beef, but wait. This feels incomplete.
"[{~¦finally! That took forever!¦~}]"
He took a tray from the oven and there were a couple of garlic bread with butter. He placed it on the table and removed himself from the kitchen.
I took the first bite.... And it was wonderful, it was the best beef I have ever tasted.
"Mom…. Dad….. I approve of him"
They were surprised at my reaction, and so they put a piece of beef in their mouths… and yeah…. Based on their reactions, they definitely enjoyed it.
"So, Mr Eversor, you are now officially our chef. We can do the paperworks tommorow, Evelyn, show him to his room."
"What! Why do I have to?"
He stayed silent, turned around, and left us. I let out a deep sigh, inhaled, and let out a deep sigh again.
"Fine! Follow me!"
I walked towards his new room, which was on the second floor just a couple of rooms from my bedroom. I can hear footsteps behind me, so he must be following me. I opened the door to his now new room.
"There, you can stay here however you like. You may decorate it and so-… yeah."
We both entered the room, and there was too much dust and "stuff" around. Disgusting.
And in an instant, they all disappeared.
"Oh… it seems my work here is done then…."
I turned around and was about to go to my room, but he stopped me by grabbing my collar.
"[{~¦I need help in designing my room, and since you are a girl, I believe you are an expert in that¦~}]"
I may be a girl yes and am also good at designing, but that doesn't mean I am good at designing because I am a girl.
"Sure, but did you really have to grab me by the collar?"
He nodded his head in quick succession. I entered the room again, and immediately, the colours on the wall changed.
"[{~¦so, what wallpaper, do you think looks good?¦~}]"
I began thinking, I have some pride in myself as a girl- no no, as a designer, it would hurt my pride to not designing a good design for his room.
"What style do you want?"
Of course, I need to know the style, if I don't then I would just turn his room into a design for girls.
"[{~¦Of course the style should be like an aristocracy! It is simply common sense! Now, add a certain "power" unto the design¦~}]"
I began thinking again, and an idea popped up to my head
"White background, and the patterns are golden diamond shapes, and in its four sides, there are gooden swirls"
The wallpaper of the room immediately to the design I mentioned. I then pointed to the left side of the wall, on the opposite side of the door.
"A bed there"
A bed immediately appeared, and it looked luxurious, and comfy. I then pointed to the right side of the wall near the window.
"A table there with a vase containing plants"
Again, a table and vase containing plants appeared. I pointed at the left side of the wall again, this time parallel to the bed.
"A closet here, with a desk that has a mirror, and a chair. Make it wooden, the color should be white, with some traces of the color gold."
A closet appeared with a desk that had a mirror and a chair. Ashura then sat on the chair that appeared and continued listening to me still with a smile.
I pointed to the ceiling
"A golden chandelier, not too big or extravagant, just a regular chandelier that has 4 or 8 arms "
A chandelier appeared with 4 arms. I pointed to the right side of the room, parallel to the window.
"A regular white drawer with some stripes of the color gold."
And then at last.
"A grey carpet with dark blue markings. The design would be different than the wallpaper, I suggest it would be like using the crescent shape with diamonds or stars."
A carpet appeared and I could feel it. It was made from high-quality material.
"I…l guess that is all."
He stood up from my seat and hugged me suddenly while patting my back. I just let him, it feels…. Comforting and safe. He then pulled away and with a smile, said
"[{~¦thank you, I appreciate it¦~}]"
I nodded with a smile, I was about to leave until
"[{~¦hmmm, it seems I do not have a nickname for you yet… Karl already has "Hyena", Dieb has "The Shadow", but you…. Hmmmm¦~}]"
"How do you even get "Hyena" for Karl?"
"[{~¦I just use the word "highness" and found out it sounds like hyenas, so not I call him Hyena… hmmm oh! How about I call you pumpkin! Your hair is so orange that your head looks like a pumpkin¦~}]"
I felt my eye twitch, did he just insult my appearance.
"Very well, then… shall I call you hacksch?"
"[{~¦sure! Woooow, we are like a couple! Having our own nicknames and such!¦~}]"
I know he just wanted to get a reaction out of me, and he succeeded. I hurriedly got out of his room and into my room I went.
