Chapter 11
The Feast of Insanity
"Alright…Kansaki, Van…er…" the sergeant acknowledged them, "the food is ready for you, packed in your cabin. Have fun stuffing yourselves…just hope you guys will be able to work tomorrow," he added with a nasty grin. "Oh, and Kansaki…put your hat back on…you look like a girl," he said as an afterthought, looking at Hitomi, wearing her concealing cloak, but not her old hat. Hitomi frowned slightly; Van immediately noticed.
"Oh," Van yelled out in a humorous tone as Hitomi and himself walked back to their cabin, loud enough for the sergeant to hear, and only him, "next time, bow to your king and his lady."
Hitomi giggled. "What did you do that for?"
"To warn him that his head can be cut off anytime," Van replied, staring straight ahead, trying not to grin.
"Well, I doubt he gets it," Hitomi said, looking back.
Indeed, for the sergeant had a look of confusion on his face.
* * *
"This is not food; its slop," Hitomi finally declared, gazing at the mushy stuff.
"Here, have a piscus," Van said, face blank as he threw her the stuff, "I packed some before I left."
Hitomi stared nervously at the piscus before she broke half of it, stuck a straw into it, and slurped. "Ah! What is this?" Hitomi almost spat it out.
"Piscus. You get used to it," Van smirked, victoriously.
"I don't see you eating it," Hitomi suddenly noticed, glaring at him.
"That's because I hate the bitter taste of it," Van finally laughed out
"Huh! Fanel…you're going to get it," Hitomi narrowed her eyes into slits.
After saying that, Hitomi grabbed the slop and threw it, hitting Van; right on target. Van wasted no time in responding, tossing a clump of it; fortunately, Hitomi dodged it, and replied with a sling of jelly-like stuff. This too hit its target while Van hopelessly tried to defend himself. He flung another handful and struck Hitomi, who squealed in sheer delight at the mess. A normal princess would have screamed…only in pure horror. Hitomi had a comeback, as she struck true. Van, extremely dirty, yearned to strike back, however unsuccessfully, on Hitomi, who because of her agility, was barely hit. He finally grew smart and began attacking using several chunks of slop at once, finally hitting Hitomi. This continued for many an hour until finally, they were out of strength.
"I'm going to take a bath…only DO NOT PEEK IN THIS TIME!" Hitomi cautioned wrathfully.
"Okay," answered Van, mocking fear.
Just before she walked in however, she threw a handful of slop right onto Van's face before revenge can be taken.
* * *
After her refreshing bath where no one intruded, Hitomi opened the door and slipped out. As she guessed, Van had a handful of slop aimed and ready. However, Hitomi wagged her index finger in front of Van's nose and said, "No way, Van; not after I bathed."
She grabbed a little bit of the slop and examined it. "This really is slop. Honestly, they expect up to eat this?" She asked, scrunching her nose up in disgust.
"But this is good slop" was the answer.
"Excuse me? Good slop?" questioned Hitomi quizzically.
"This is better than those things we eat on normal days," Van explained, sniffing it.
"Huh…" Hitomi sweat-dropped, "how are we going to clean this up?"
"Oh yeah…I'll be right back," Van answered casually as he waked out of Mino (the cabin name if you've been paying attention to the previous chapters; it's pronounced "me and you").
He came back almost immediately, along with three handmaids. They began cleaning as soon as Van beckoned to them. "Don't worry; they'll be done in a matter of minutes."
"How did you--" Hitomi started to ask.
"Being a kind has its advantages," Van said and winked satisfyingly.
And indeed, in a matter of minutes, the handmaids were done; and a good job they had completed. They curtsied respectfully to their royal majesty and headed out, carrying with them the non-edible mush, all gathered up.
"Well, time to turn in," Hitomi yawned, stretching her arms.
"I'm still too tired to move that pathetic bed…guess it'll have to be tomorrow," Van said, inactively.
"Why not call your assistants?" Hitomi asked sarcastically.
"Too lazy," he answered and flopped onto the bed, sound asleep.
Hitomi sighed and laid herself beside him, drifting into sleep. "Good night." Van opened an eye and muttered under his breath, "Good night, girl whom I'm attracted to." Then he also went to sleep, dreaming of that green-eyed girl, smiling at him, and him smiling right back.
