Chapter 163 Rio's cooking... (Rio x Lia)

Hotel Devalya, Night, Rio's Room.

*Sizzle**Sizzle*

The sizzling sound of oil kept resounding from the kitchen of the room.

While wearing a funny-looking apron, with bunny and cat patterns on it, Rio was cooking dinner today.

His face was as expressionless as ever, but his eyes were extremely focused on this dish. (He is barely decent in cooking skills...)

A cute giggle entered Rio's ears. It seems to have come from the dining table placed in front of the kitchen.

"Are you sure, you can cook?..." (Lia)

Lia had a smile on her face, she was suppressing her laughter. Seeing Rio in that cutesy-looking apron was really a funny experience after all.

Rio raised his head and replied in his usual emotionless tone:

"Yeah, I can cook some decent things.... At least it will be edible I think..." (Rio)

Rio's cooking skills have never been that good because never really focused on learning much about cooking. Even in his past life, he used to cook some random and easy-to-make food.

'In the first place, my tongue was kind of faulty in the previous life...' (Rio)

Due to his rough childhood days and various reasons, Rio's taste buds were damaged in his previous life.

He couldn't really distinguish the taste of the food he ate. And since he couldn't taste it, he didn't really care about whatever he had to eat.

As long as it was edible and nutritious, he ate it to survive.

This was also the reason why Rio's body was suffering from malnutrition in his previous life. Malnutrition caused his height to be short and his body to be weak and thin.

The Rio of the previous life was quiet, introverted, weak, and short. The only redeeming factor or you could say the only talent he had, was his intelligent brain.

Rio was so good at studies that he was envied by many fellow students. But as Rio was smart, he never fell for the tricks of bullies and always managed to avoid getting in trouble.

Even while being a Loner, he knew how to keep himself safe from the bullies and thus he lived his life in a boring and uneventful way. He was just surviving day after day like a living corpse with no particular reason to live.

'But now I have found that reason...' (Rio)

Thinking about that 'reason' Rio's eyes wandered off to the cute face of Lia who was staring at him while he was cooking.

"Hmm, need my help?" (Lia)

Rio shook his head in denial.

"No..I want you to review my cooking today... Master Chef Lia." (Rio)

Being called 'Master Chef' from Rio's mouth, Lia felt happy and her smile widened even further.

*Giggle*

Her cute giggles filled 'colors' in Rio's empty Life.

Denying the help, Rio again focused his eyes on cooking.

'I fear that if I keep relying on her, I might lose my ability to live alone... it's kind of weird...' (Rio)

'Her giggles are too addicting to hear... I feel like I might not be able to recover from this addiction called Love...' (Rio)

...

While cooking Rio's mind kept wandering on various things.

'Now that I think about it... I never found any cheat items in that dungeon...' (Rio)

'Oh wait... I might actually have found it...' (Rio)

Just then Rio's finally completed his cooking session and brought the food over to the dining table.

"So here I present, Rio's special pancakes..." (Rio)

Rio put the pancake in front of Lia and wrote 'For my Love' on it.

Then he said that 'Moe moe kyun' line in his emotionless tone. It felt like a curse instead of a blessing but well, this was already the best he could do.

"Hahahaha!!" (Lia)

Seeing Rio trying to perform that 'moe moe kyun' while wearing that funny apron, made Lia burst into laughter.

She wasn't able to suppress her laugh anymore and she laughed so much that her stomach started to hurt a little. Slight tears appeared around the corners of her eyes from laughing too much.

Seeing that happy look on Lia's face. A small smile appeared on Rio's expressionless face.

'Well as long as you are happy...' (Rio)

"Okay, stop laughing so much and try it... tell me how it tastes..." (Rio)

Hearing Rio's voice Lia finally calmed down. She wiped the tears and then with an excited look started to eat.

After eating the first bite she glanced at Rio and said in a happy voice:

"It's Delicious!" (Lia)

"Is that so..." (Rio)

"Yeah!" (Lia)

Rio nodded his head in satisfaction at Lia's approval. He dragged a nearby chair and sat beside Lia.

"Okay, give some to too then..." (Rio)

"uh... here" (Lia)

Lia had to spoon-feed him that bite. She felt quite embarrassed from doing something like that but she did it anyway.

"hmm it's good, I guess.." (Rio)

Rio nodded his head in approval. (He can taste food in this life at least...)

"My turn..." (Rio)

Thus the back-and-forth feeding session continued till late at night.

Finally, Lia went back to her room and thus another lovely day came to an end.
