Perona's Cook
Zoro sheathed his swords and took a sit below a tree. Evening sun shone the Shikkearu Kingdom ruins, created long shadow through Zoro's place. He swept his sweat with towel and looked around. It had been a year passed from the first time he landed to the Kurogaina isle, thanks to that tyrant Kuma. Moreover, he was under training of hawk-eye. Nevertheless, there always there times when the shicibukai went to somewhere with his raft. Moreover, that day was one of those times. Therefore, he trained himself alone, together with the baboons on the ruins.
He looked back to familiar hollows he knew well. He unsheathed his sword, although it was useless to use that kind of strike. Perona, the ghost-girl. She flew with a basket on her hand.
" Lunchtime." Said her gladly, opened the basket, took some sandwiches-like form, and get it to Zoro. So far, that ghost-girl had given up her idea to make Zoro as her slave. She helped him a lot instead. Unfortunately, until that time, she was not a good cook. Even Mihawk was still better than she was. Nevertheless, Zoro could not yap refusing the food, she gave him as she would use her hollow which he did not like.
" Thanks. " he said, took those sandwiches and ate them eagerly. He just munched and swallowed without tasting them properly.
" Hey, what do you want for dinner? I can manage to cook it. " Perona offered with a wide grin. Zoro looked at her hesitantly. He hardly remembered last night when she cooked them, something looked like porridge or mud yet she claimed as soup. Moreover, she thought it was edible enough.
Zoro started to throb. Hi stomach was not well enough after that dinner. " Can you cook something edible? " he thought of saying it for moments. However, gazing to her hollows made him thought of saying it once again. It was not like he wanna did slave-stuff for her like the past. So he kept munching. The sandwich tasted better than that dinner though.
This circumstance made him kinda miss that ero-cook. However, he never failed to serve edible cook.( he refused to admit that his cook was very good although it was).
" I have mushrooms, cabbages, carrots, eggs and even tofu. Do you know how difficult to get such ingredients here? " Perona kept floating in the air with her hollow while mumbling.
Eh?
" Mushroom? " Zoro asked.
" Yup! A kinda fungus, which can be eaten. Well, some of them bring people to death sometimes. " she said. " Well, why do you ask? "
A smile curved Zoro's lip at once. He knew how to solve this matter. This breakthrough just passed his mind and then, he got an idea.
" Perona, you said, you have tofu didn't you? "
Perona scowled. " Yes. Moreover, how many how I have to restate it? Are you deaf or what? "
Maybe on another time, he would retort it as reply, but this idea made him saying different words. " I got an idea by the way. You have made the lunch. Moreover, if you let me, I will make dinner. "
End.
