Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 255 Cooking with Emilia

“I want you to… Twerk.”

Mayzin spit her tea as she fl.u.s.tered after hearing this statement from Lilith.

“I what!?” She exclaimed, a bit dumbfounded by such a request from Lilith.

Lilith smirked and said, “you heard me right. That’s the bet. Any problems?”

Of course there are problems! How can there not be? Her prideful nature won’t allow her to do such a thing, that was very obvious. Lilith was basically asking something impossible from her.

Lilith took a sip of her tea as he watched Mayzin struggle internally in front of her. She put down the teacup and said,

“Yeah, that… your prideful nature won’t allow you to do such a thing, that’s the reason I made this bet. If it isn’t challenging, then what’s the point of having it as a bet, right?”

Mayzin stared at Lilith for a good few seconds. She then asked, “how did you even come up with such a weird request?”

Lilith shrugged and said smiling, “who knows?”

Mayzin sighed and shook her head. ‘Its fine, I shouldn’t worry too much. It won’t happen anyway and I for sure will win this bet.’

“The bet is on, don’t go back on your words.” Mayzin said to Lilith after a few seconds.

“You too.” Lilith said with a smile.

Mayzin then asked, “so, are you going to tell me about Arya and Lith’s relations.h.i.+p now or not?”

Lilith nodded and started narrating Lith’s developments with Arya slowly.

Mayzin listened intently and didn’t interrupt Lilith much.

Lith’s dorm, Abalax Sky Island.

Many hours had pa.s.sed since Lith was in his meditative state and comprehending the laws.

The concentrated energies around him had broken the equilibrium and now appeared as a thick colorful fog revolving around Lith

Emilia was sitting on a chair all this while and was keeping watch on him and the thing that made her stay and constantly watch was her own curiosity.

As far as she knew, there was no Rank 2 who could pull in so much energy and concentrate it around him. It was not just impossible, but also dangerous and n.o.body even dared to try it.

Sure Emilia put up some spells around Lith, but those were only to ensure that Lith’s spiritual power could reach a greater distance and pull in more energy. She was, in no way, providing him with energy and whatever was around Lith, were the elemental energies present normally around.

No Rank 2’s spiritual power was capable of handling such concentration of energy around them and it was dangerous to be around such a pure and concentrated form of energies. It could cripple as well as kill a person in the worst case scenario.

Emilia had to stay to ensure Lith’s safety as well, but who knew that he wouldn’t need any help from her at all.

A few more minutes pa.s.sed and Lith opened his eyes.

He took a deep breath and after exhaling, he focused on spreading the concentrated energy around him back in the surroundings and to replace the equilibrium that he broke.

Snap!

Just as he was about to do so, he heard a snap and the equilibrium was restored instantly. The thick and colorful fog was gone.

Lith turned to look at the source of the sound and found Emilia sitting on a chair and looking at him through her gla.s.ses.

He got up, stretched, and walked towards her.

“Thank you for your help, Miss Emilia.” Lith said to her with a smile.

“No problem.” Emilia replied with a smile and got up to leave.

“Please wait.” Lith said hurriedly.

“Hmm?” Emilia turned around and looked at him, a bit confused.

“It’s dinner time already and I haven’t had food in the whole day. I a.s.sume you haven’t either, right?” Lith asked with a smile.

Emilia nodded and said, “that’s right, but it’s fine for me. I don’t really need to consume food.”

“I know, but you helped me a lot today, so please let me cook for you and express my grat.i.tude.” Lith replied.

Emilia thought about it and nodded. “Alright. But, do you know how to cook?”

“I do.” Lith said confidently.

“Okay. Let’s go, let me help you in it too.” Emilia said while walking towards the kitchen.

“Wait, wait. Don’t go.” Lith said hurriedly.

Emilia stopped and asked after turning around, “yes?”

“Miss Emilia, wait a bit. I need to freshen up first, then I’ll go cook. It won’t take long, I promise.” Lith had been meditating for a day, he wanted to freshen up first.

Emilia nodded in understanding. She walked towards the sofa close to her and sat down on it.

Noticing that she was being so understanding, Lith didn’t waste time and rushed to the bathroom closest to him to freshen up.

A few minutes later, he walked out, wearing a new set of clothes. A bit of water was dripping down as he walked towards Emilia from his slightly wet and messy hair. He was in a rush and forgot to dry his hair up.

“Alright, let’s go now.” Lith said to Emilia with a smile.

Emilia looked at him and instead of walking towards the kitchen, she walked towards him and ruffled his hair, making them dry up. She then combed it slightly towards the side with just her hand and fixed his messy appearance.

“Let’s go.” She backed off after and said while walking towards the kitchen.

Lith was surprised with Emilia’s actions. But he didn’t say anything about it to her as it was just a trivial matter. He shoved aside these thoughts and walked towards the kitchen to cook food.

The two were now in the kitchen.

Lith planned to make a simple and comforting dinner. It was rice along with chicken and vegetable curry for the main dish. As for the side dishes, it wasn’t anything too fancy, just chicken cutlet along with hot and sour soup.

Lith walked towards the wardrobe present in the kitchen and took out two ap.r.o.ns from it. He gave one to Emilia and had the other for himself.

Emilia looked at him and smiled slightly. For what he said about the menu to him bringing out the ap.r.o.ns, he seemed serious about cooking to her.

This would be her first time cooking with a student. No, not just that, it would be her first time eating food made by a student, she was pretty excited for all these things and this made her enthusiastic and slightly excited, causing her to smile.

Lith wore the ap.r.o.n and started tying his hair into a rough bun, to avoid them being a hindrance and bothering him. He tied it in a rough man bun and after finis.h.i.+ng, looked for the utensils and ingredients in the kitchen.

“Miss Emilia, please take out the chicken and vegetables from the fridge.” He said while squatting and removing a pot from the cabinet present.

Emilia nodded and did as she was told to.

Within a few seconds, everything was set up.

The ingredients were on the center isle of the kitchen and the utensils were placed in their respective areas.

Lith looked at the ingredients and after thinking for a bit, he instructed, “Miss Emilia, please cut the vegetables, I’ll wash the chicken and rice first.”

Asking Emilia to cut chicken would not be a good idea as it would not be of the size Lith would want to be in the curry. He also didn’t know whether she knew about ‘curry cut’ or not and so to not bother her too much, he simply asked about the vegetables which would be easy to do.

Emilia nodded and took an onion and started cutting it.

Lith washed rice and put it in a pot to cook it. There was no rice cooker available in his kitchen and has to resort to cooking in a pot.

‘Sorry uncle in orange polo, I have disappointed you. But it is what it is.’ Lith thought while looking at the pot with a smile on his face.

He then washed the chicken and cut it into medium sized pieces, very suitable for curries.

He turned to look at Emilia and found her looking back at him with a smile. He smiled back and looked down to see the status of the vegetable cutting and felt amused.

The vegetables were all cut and were arranged well on the chopping board in a neat and tidy manner. All pieces of the vegetables were uniformly cut and if someone has OCD, they sure would love this scene.

“That’s nice.” Lith said to Emilia.

Emilia nodded and asked, “anything else you want help with?”

Lith nodded and said, “yes. Please take out three big bowls and place eggs, flour, and breadcrumbs in each bowl respectively.”

This was for the cutlet preparation and he didn’t shy away from instructing her.

Emilia nodded and started working on it. She didn’t use magic for doing these things as she wanted to have a better experience.

Lith turned on the stove and fire started heating up the pot. He put in the ingredients and started to cook the chicken and vegetable curry.

Emilia prepared the things Lith asked and said about it to him.

The chicken and vegetables in the pot were fried and Lith added water into it. He stirred it a bit and after covering the pot with a lid, he walked towards Emilia.

“Miss Emilia, do you know how to make a cutlet?” Lith asked her with a smile.

Emilia shook her head. She didn’t bother much about cooking all her life and she could only cook a few things.

Lith nodded and said, “then, let me show you how it’s done.”

Emilia nodded and watched Lith intently.

She saw him seasoning the flour and smiled. She thought to herself,

‘A teacher being taught things by her own student, that’s also a new experience I am having. I guess we really are never too old or experienced to learn about new things it seems. Cooking seems interesting, let’s see how far it goes.’
