Cooking is all about Love.
Judith threw a piece of white cloth onto Yuri's lap making the swordsman opened his eyes. Currently he was resting after coming back from nearest forest.
"What is this?" The raven swordsman looked to the female krityan with a questioning look. He observed the cloth and placed it down on his lap again and closed his eyes.
Judith smirked and looked to Karol who sat on the nearest chair in their small guild office in Danhgrest. Repede was sleeping in a corner of the room.
"Well these few days you are looking bored Yuri and I thought you should accept Estelle's request about working as a chef at the castle." Karol started. Repede's ears perked up when heard Karol's words.
"What?" Yuri's eyes snapped open and stared to Karol.
"Besides, we got less work since the last week and almost of work left just involving me and Judith. No one is needed for your services at all this time if I saw it correctly." The Brave Vesperia leader continued before Yuri could bring out his piece of mind. "You are looking restless and we know you are eager to do something besides having a bored day here while I and Judith were going out doing the jobs and I think it will be good for you if you accept the request. At least you got something to working on other than killing those monsters aimlessly."
"Don't worry about your hairs. I will teach you on how to handle it without cutting it at all." Judith smiled reassuringly. Yuri shrugged slightly while playing with his bangs.
"Yeah, we don't want to see you in short hair too. It will be weird…Yuri with short hair…yeah weird…" Karol nodded while closing his eyes. I wonder what it will be look like if he is in short hair.
"Why are you guys suggesting on this? I'm doing just fine by now…"
"No you are not fine." Judith quickly replied with a stern expression.
"How can you say so?" The swordsman asked lazily. He placed the cloth on the nearest table and eyed to Judith and Karol simultaneously.
"Karol can you make some tea, it is about time for us having a nice rest now." Judith smiled to their captain and turned to Yuri after Karol left the room. She sat beside Yuri.
"You miss him and don't deny it because I can see it right through your face."
"You are scary sometimes." Yuri shifted uncomfortably on the chair.
"So you are scared now?" Judith grinned.
"No and never will…then I should go back to capital? What about you guys here?" The swordsman sighed and looked to the krityan woman.
"Yes and don't worry about us, we can manage it but now let me teach you how to deal with your hairs."
"I never agree to do that."
"You must…that way you got something to do and you can visit him everyday." Judith stood behind Yuri and started to pull his hair delicately. "Your hairs are so smooth…I bet a certain commandant always love to play it."
"Should I take that as a compliment?"
"I don't know?" Judith giggled softly while handling with Yuri's hair.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Positive?"
"Yes. Just give me the job already. Your over concern attitudes is starting to make me feel…weird?"
"It is not like that…" The pink haired princess looked to the raven swordsman in front of her with a wary expression. Her gaze stopped to Yuri's hair. "What will happen with your hair then, if you are really agreed to do this? If I recall correctly you don't want to cut your hair."
"Judy gave me some idea about it yesterday, besides we don't get any request since last week and I'm kind of restless and they don't want to see me do something well…"
"Karol must be the one who suggested on this." Estelle quickly cut Yuri.
"Yeah right…"
"Then what will you do to your hair?" Estelle curiously asked.
"I will tie it up and wear this to cover all my hairs." Yuri showed a simple black hair band and a medium white cloth look like a bandana.
"I never thought about this before. Judith sure knows a lot about this kind of thing." Estelle nodded and smiled. "Come with me…I will show you the place." The princess turned to her side and started to walk.
"Alright but Estelle…"
The pinkette stopped and turned to the swordsman. "Yes?"
"Don't tell Flynn anything about this."
"Why? You two are best friend right? He deserves to know about it."
"I just don't want him to know that I'm working here." Yuri looked away from the princess's gaze.
"Okay if you say so."
"Thanks Estelle."
"You are welcome Yuri." The princess smiled. "And I can have nice food from you again." She hummed happily while they were walking to the kitchen area.
"I can cook for him again too just like when we were before." Yuri whispered softly to himself while followed the princess into deeper parts of the castle. Sometimes the princess stopped and showed Yuri the shortcuts and other places. They also stopped at Rita's place and quickly left after there was a minor blast in the room. Both of them reached the kitchen after a moment of walking around.
"I must say the way you made this was fabulous and you care a lot about the hygiene while handling with the food material and the utensil." The head chef nodded while had a piece of sandwich made by Yuri. "The taste is good too. I like it."
"Then?" Estelle was holding her hands and looked to the head chef with intrigued expression. Yuri looked to the head chef with no difference.
"This is just a simple dish and I know I can't decide it just from it but seeing you work I get that you are a used cook." The head chef closed his eyes and nodded.
Yuri nodded slightly. Even with simple dish, Flynn can make it disastrous for everyone and he is a used cook too. I'm glad he was a commandant not a chef.
"He is also able to cook anything else and it all tasted good. I would say it is like having a nice and healthy meal when we were in our journey." Estelle tried to persuade the head chef. "Just look at me…I'm this great because of Yuri's foods. He is good." She happily added while Yuri was still…being himself.
"Your words are always true your highness and I'm gladly to take this guy to join our big family." The head chef smiled warmly to both Estelle and Yuri but his gaze stopped at Yuri. "I do believe you can do more and I hope that you will meet my expectations and it is not from Princess Estelle's words that I take you in. I believe in your ability. Welcome Yuri." He held his hand forward and Yuri slowly grabbing it and lightly shook it as their agreement.
"This is wonderful! Congratulations Yuri!" Estelle beamed happily while slightly clapping her hands.
Yuri smiled a bit and shrugged. My…now my days will full with foods and Flynn too. I will never tell him about this, let see if he really knows me or not. He grinned. Judy is true. I do miss him a lot. I should thank Karol too about this.
"You will start tomorrow and I will assign you into a specific group. For today you just rest as much as you can. You will never know what will happen tomorrow." The head chef smiled and bowed a bit to Estelle before he went into deeper parts of the big kitchen in the castle but he stopped at the middle and turned to Yuri.
"You must have some inspirations while cooking right? Mind to tell me what is it?"
"Love. Cooking is all about love."
Flynn tapped his fingers on his table when he felt some fresh cold wind reaching his back. He turned around and found the window was opened. He sighed.
"I must forget to lock it properly. It is night already…no wonder the winds feel kind of chill." He stood up and walked to the window but stopped when he realized there was someone else in his room. He glared to the figure beside the window. "Damn it Yuri. Could you come in by using the door next time?"
"Swearing already? And I just arrived here today too." Yuri casually walked in, scanned around the room and sat down on the empty chairs in the middle of the room for guest purposed. He also placed his sword on the small coffee table there.
"I'm kind of busy and you are just standing there without any sound at all. How long you were there?" Flynn also sat down on one of empty chair there.
"Just a few moments and you got a good instinct…It is late already and you are still working?" Yuri eyed Flynn and relaxed more on the chair.
"I can feel the cold wind on my back!" Flynn snapped and sighed. "Just a little bit only left. I almost finished it when you come…"
"Don't use me as excuses for your unfinished work. I'm just here to visits you for a while."
"You can come tomorrow…"
Yuri quickly stood up stretched his arms and waist before he fetched his sword. "Yeah right, see you tomorrow then. Good to see you again." He walked and stepped onto the window where he came in and gone within a blink of eye.
"You should use the door." Flynn was rubbing his temples and smiled. "Glad to see you too…wait he said what…tomorrow? How long he will be here this time?" The commandant looked to the opened window where the curtain was flowing in with the wind.
Yuri jumped down to the ground and met Repede. He smiled to the pooch. "Let's go home and take as much rest as we can…I wonder what will happen tomorrow."
Repede barked happily.
"You say that I'm happy?"
"Woof!"
"I guess…that I'm really missed him after all…you too don't you?" Yuri looked to the dark night sky and then to Repede.
"Woof…Woof!"
"Yeah right…you got your own business here…I guess both of us happy this time…well we are at our home now." Yuri smiled and shrugged. "Let's go back and rest Repede."
"Woof!"
"What?!"
The head chef glared with a stern expression making Yuri flinched a bit. "Don't what me. Just go to your place where I just shown you before and get started." He stated casually while holding a large knife.
"I'm just come yesterday and now I need to prepare the food for the commandant…are you sure?" Yuri asked while eyeing the knife. That one is big for sure and it might be able to be used chop some monsters out there. It will be a good weapon then.
"Yes, and it was Princess Estelle's request. She told me yesterday evening to give you that job since you are our commandant's best friend and knew more on his taste with the food. Besides, he skipped his meals several times already. It is no good you know."
"I know…" Yuri nodded slightly and wondered while crossing his arms. Flynn is skipping his meal? I got the hard part then. Estelle is sure know how to plot a thing now even though I told her not to tell Flynn about this…wait, Flynn doesn't know about this unless if I was the one who send the food to him. Okay no worries on that part.
"Then don't just standing there, go to work now! We got lot things to do!"
"Alright, alright…" Yuri walked to his place where all the utensils needed to make a proper meal were kept properly. "Nice place I would say…" His mind wandered to Flynn. "And we got a troublesome commandant here…" The swordsman sighed. "What I should make for him then?" The swordsman shrugged and deeply sighed again. Flynn got a weird taste bud…
A little bit review please? I want to improve it and sorry for my bad grammar. English was my second language after all.
