Actually , Gray just ask Kate to teach him honing a tools just to divert the subject , the awkward situation that happened after he hugged her . He actually wont learn anything from her tough , it feels like swallowed his pride , but now he won't look like a liar , he now like somehow forced to come at 5 pm to Kate's houses . But he doesn't know why , he's quiet excited .

Today Kate come to the Blacksmith as usual to honing some tools and give some ores , she just spend about 1 hour at the blacksmith , because she also must to take care of her farm .

Kate is very sociable , a type that differs from Gray , who's pretty taciturn and moody . But they're seems like get along pretty well . Kate isn't talk to much while she's doing her blacksmith job , maybe that's cause' she's too serious .

Its 5 pm -, Gray walks toward Kate's house . He looks the view around , even it's still quite horrible but its much better than last time He saw the farm , when the owner before Kate was dead . He can still see few of huge stone , branches and wild grass .

He knocked the door . Kate open the door ,

"Oh so , you are really come, Gray ! go ahead and take a seat" Gray enter into her house , what a pleasant residence it's clean , and comfortamble , maybe because a girl who own this house? Oh well..he doesn't really want to disputed it ,

"So, do you want to drink something?" ask Kate politely .

"ah – you don't have to be that formal , but sure , coffee milk please" , Gray responded.

"Im sorry , but I don't have any , I don't drink coffee anyway , it smells horrible haha , I cant stand it " She remarked .

"really? It's Ok then, Im not that thirsty anyway, just lets start" he pleaded .

She take a shaving , and exhibit how to honing a knife .

"Are you ever touch a knife, gray?" ask her .

"yeah .. I used to cook meals for me and gramps" said gray .

"How about hone it?" ask Kate .

"No , I rarely used it anyways so , it never looks like need to be honed" He remarked . Kate smiles , She said that the easiest way to honing something is from honing Knife first , He first place , is somehow bored but that boredom gone because kate taught everything and it's really easy to understand .

"Honestly, I can't believe you have a skill in cooking , hehe" Teased kate ,

"huh, if you really don't believe me , let me proof it" He seems he really want to do it with enthuasiasm , and it seems like Kate plan is going well ; Eat herself gray's cooking .

Gray spend about 30 minutes in her kitchen .

"See, you'll recognize my skill!" Gray said that and give her a bowl of a grilled meat .

Kate eat it , "Upph" she hold her mouth and grimaced .

"w-why? Is it bad ? Im going to get you some water just wait here" he seems panic . Kate suddenly pull gray's clothes .

"Gotcha! Haha you've get fooled ! Im ok , this food is tasted well, although its quite burnt and too salty but it's really good" Kate laughed softly .

"You seems really cute while you are worried, you are really a nice kid , Gray" teased Kate . Gray's cheecks blushing , they're turned red . "No- that's not" he said it with a stutter .

They are really having fun, they even didn't honing the tool , much . They more likely just chatting like a best friend who knows each othet well . Gray spent about 3 hours in Ktae's house .

"Isn't too late ? you better go home now gray" Kate raised her eyebrow .

"ah yes" Gray look at the clock that hanging on the wall .

"Where do you take a nap , ussualy? Are you stay at Saibara's ? asked kate .

"No, I stay at the Inn, the bar..hum, are you curious? Want to visit me?" he say with seducing voice .

Kate's face turned red "No, not like that ha-ha, you better go now haha"

"well Im going" Gray walk toward the door . Then Kate's voices suddenly appearing .

"ah thank you ! im having fun today , visit me whenever you want" Kate smiles and wave his hand . Gray smiles back and walk toward the inn .

"im the one, who's must to say that kate" he whispered , and Kate definetly couldn't hear it .

He walk towards inn happily , and he also whistle on his bed . he just can't forget that Kate said that he's 'a Nice kid' no one ever said that he is , before .

"But wait , she said that Im a nice kid , do I really look like a kid in her sight? Uh wait , we're in a same age , aren't we , but do I really look like a kid? " he grumbled .

"Gray, why you are talking with yourself? Is that something wrong with you? This is night already!" kai, his roomatte interrupted . "Kai, girl really confusing , didn't they?" said gray , serious .

"What are you talking about, Gray? Are you delirious? Or you are …. Falling In love… what a sudden—" Kai haven't finish it but gray interrupted

"Lets just sleep" . He grab his quilt, and cover himself with a flaming red face .
