The 100 Operators Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really love you

Chapter 23

He emerges from the room with the helmet on his head then shakes his head, "Not really, just making some instant noodles while throwing in some stuff for flavor." He gestures to the ingredients then to the pot.

Melantha walks closer to the stove then sniffs the air before cutely wrinkling her face, "Something smells bad here." She points to the board.

Ashura zooms over to the stove then sniffs, "I don't smell anything..." He mutters, prompting Fang to come closer to also sniff, then her face also wrinkles up.

"Bad." Fang covers her nose while using her other hand to point at the ingredients, making him sigh as he sees both of them saying the same thing.

"...Erm, which one? And the noodles are almost ready..."

"This, this, and this. Can we have some, please?"

"Sure... That's... A lot of bad ingredients..."

"We can put something else... More noodles too. Fang, please assist me in cutting while I go get more noodles and ingredients."

"Ok. Ah! Can we put an apple into the broth?"

"Sure, we'll also add the tea leaves that I left behind here."

Ashura quietly stands aways from them as he sees that his kitchen got taken over, making him sweat drop that only increases when he hears the stuff that they are planning to add.

He clears his throat to get their attention, "Maybe I should cook?" He idly scratches his cheek as he lowly mutters, "I was the first cook though..."

Both of them shake their heads at the same time, "It is alright, Ashura. You must be tired from your day, so let us cook for all of us." Melantha brightly smiles at him at the end, which makes him hesitate before deciding to just let them cook.

"...Hopefully Kal'tsit got stomach meds," He resolves himself to eat whatever they make, even though he could already feel his stomach churning.

All 3 of them stand in front of the pot. Ashura sees a few slices of apple floating, along with the tea leaves, tomato, carrot, onion, and cheese, which are probably the reason why the broth looks like a mixture of green, red, yellow, and somehow white.

"...Sorry, Ashura... The guys are the ones that cook for me and Cardigan, and I thought I could cook like them after watching them..." Melantha despondently mutters while her eyes are glistening.

"Lava does the cooking..." Fang also mutters while looking down to the floor.

Ashura lightly sighs while shaking his head, then he lifts both of his hands to head pat them, making them blush, "It's fine... It's a waste to just throw this out so I will finish it..." He stops and grabs hold of a spoon then dips it into the pot.

Both of them look up with alarm then they try to stop him, but they are too late as he puts the spoon into his mouth. Immediately, he drops the spoon while wheezing.

"What the heck?! So bitter!" He immediately runs over to the fridge to get a drink, "Weird, urgh, very weird taste."

"Ashura, you don't need to eat it." "Let's just throw it out."

He shakes his head while standing straighter in response to Melantha and Fang, "No, I promise to finish it and I will do it even if it's the last thing I do," He solemnly promises as he walks back with drink in hand.

"Then, then, let us finish it with you!" Melantha grabs hold of a plate while Fang does the same. Ashura nods at them, relief flooding him at the fact he won't be alone.

"Darling~ Are you in there?" Nian says as she enters the room with her tail swishing, then blinks as she sees 3 bodies passed out at the dining table with a pot in the middle of it.

"Hey... Nian..." Ashura weakly raises his hand to wave, "Sorry but we are kinda just can't move right now."

"My stomach..." Melantha weakly groans as she presses her hand on her stomach while leaning into the chair, same with Fang.

Nian raises an eyebrow while sniffing, "Is that... Instant noodles?" She points to the table.

"Yes... Along with other stuff... Want some?" He gestures to the pot.

Nian shakes her head while raising her hands in a surrender gesture, "No, thank you Darling." Before walking over to him and patting his back, "I wanted to cuddle with you but hope you don't mind this." She then slowly wraps her hands over him, making him groan a bit as he feels his stomach rumbling again.

*Authors Note*

Yo, been a while since I made a note... Well, ones made with my sanity at least. Ahem, so, I managed to finish all of my assignments last Sunday and had been on a writing spree afterwards which served as a good stress relief from my life. But, tomorrow, I will be going on a 3 days 2 nights vacation then on Wednesday I'm going back to campus for my 3rd sem... Which is completely stupid as my class schedule is literally 1 class per day, so I only need to spend like 1-3 hours at campus each weekday and an infection that has already gotten like half of my lecturers is going on at campus right now, so... Yeah, this will probably be my last update as a worst case scenario, so, I'll take this chance to once again express my thanks on reading this fic and my other fics, with all the putting them in library, votes, and comments.
