Section D, Chapter 15: Meat Floss Cake (Lusha)
Knocking softly on the door, Lusa, holding the dessert, was disappointed that she didn't get a response. Whispering, "Excuse me," Aya cautiously pushed open the door and stepped into the bedroom.
On the bed in front of him, a blonde man was sleeping soundly. His expression was so relaxed that Aya was relieved: it seemed that he had just fainted. Maybe a little more rest will be fine.
Recalling the many actions of Mad Dog that day, a sense of admiration and gratitude for saving his life came to my heart. Before she knew it, she had developed a strong sense of trust in Ceresya: this man cared about his teammates and was always protective of himself. Staying by his side and the knight's side, your heart will be filled with a sense of security.
The more the side face and the blonde hair look more and more like Dad...... Lusha was in a trance: her father, Jeos, met her mother at the age of Mad Dog and made a contract. Later, as Aya's master, he always maintained a youthful countenance.
Just putting the mad dog in sight, her body and mind were completely relaxed. Looking down at the desserts in the basket, Aiya couldn't help but feel a pang of distress: I don't know if the cake baked to my taste is sweet enough, maybe I should add more sugar......
Just as she was thinking wildly, the mad dog's voice suddenly sounded, startling her: "Yo, Miss Lusha has come to see me?"
"Huh?" Lusa was a little at a loss in the face of the sudden awakening of the mad dog: "Hmm...... Yes. β
"Close the door first, the living room doesn't seem to have a fireplace, it's cold. Seresa lazily propped herself up and kept hammering her head: "Damn, I can still hear a buzzing explosion in my head......"
"Are you alright?" Lusha asked uneasily, "The ...... Did I wake you up?"
"Nothing. You move so lightly, I really didn't hear you. Seresa coughed dryly, and then put on a playful expression: "Ha, but such a fragrant cake, I smelled it as soon as I brought it into the house." It's impossible not to wake up. β
"Ah, this ...... That's right. Hearing the compliment, Lusha felt a burst of joy: "I remember you liked the meat floss cake very much, so you tried to make some ...... I've never cooked meat before, so I don't know what it tastes like. β
"What's not to know about this??It smells so good, can it taste bad?" Seresa grinned, "Please help me get a bottle of honey wine, Lusa." β
"Hey, the knight said that your body is not suitable for drinking, and you need to rest for a few days......" Lusa said hesitantly, looking at the boxes of honey wine stacked beside her.
"Go to his uncle's rest for a few days, Lao Tzu doesn't care about him. Mad Dog narrowed his eyes and looked at Lusa, "I said, there are no outsiders here...... Can't you take your hood off?"
"Hmm. Lusha nodded, taking off her hood. Embarrassed to be stared at by the mad dog, Lusha shyly squatted down and picked up a bottle of honey wine.
"Thank you. After taking the honey wine, the mad dog bit the cork with excitement and poured most of the bottle like a wolf. Looking at it in a daze, Lusha almost dropped another bottle of honey wine on the ground: "That...... You're drinking too fast, it's not good for your stomachβ"
"Ah, I know. Mad Dog narrowed his eyes and took another big gulp: "But I haven't touched wine in a long time...... All day -- all day! I had to fight so many enemies without drinking, I really don't know how to survive. β
"Drink less pub lately, Mad Dog. Lusa hurriedly grabbed his wrist: "I just treated it with Aiya's blood, if I drink so much more, it will be useless......"
Before she could finish speaking, the mad dog's squinted eyes startled Lusha. Hurriedly letting go of her wrist, Aya timidly explained, "That...... I'm sorry. I-"
- Didn't do anything wrong. Don't apologize at every turn, I don't like to hear it. Ceresya sighed and put down the bottle that had been brought to her lips: "I don't know how you developed this habit, and I'm not interested in knowing - but all kinds of polite words will be avoided in the future, understand?"
"Hmm. Somewhat moved, Lutha nodded hurriedly. After a moment of silence, she jerked her head up and plucked up her courage to say, "That...... There's something else I'd like to tell you. Thanksβ"
"If you want to say thank you, it's free. Mad Dog smiled and patted Lusa's head: "There will be more similar things in the future." If I have to grind for a long time to save a teammate every day, I'm tired. β
As if subconsciously, he brought the wine to his lips again. Removing the bottle with difficulty, Mad Dog looked away sadly: "Here, Lusa...... I still don't drink the rest of it. β
Relieved to take the wine bottle, the mad dog in front of him turned his head back, staring at the honey wine with fierce eyes: "Where is the bastard knight? Although the first thing he saw after waking up was that the girl was very good, but he still owed Lao Tzu the wine jug and didn't pay it back." β
"Mr. Knight is talking to the lords. Lusha looked at her watch, and the hour hand pointed to ten o'clock: "We've been talking for three hours now." β
"Did we come back overnight?" the mad dog narrowed his eyes, "If it's ten o'clock in the morning, then I haven't fainted for long." β
"Hmm. The knight thought it was too dangerous for us to stay at the outpost, so he returned overnight. Lusha bowed her head and said with strong respect, "On the way, we were ambushed by dozens of corruptors. The knight himself stayed behind and dragged them down, and let me ride you back to the city. Because he didn't leave any horses for himself, he didn't return until early in the morning...... I almost thought I wouldn't see him. β
"Dozens? The mad dog snorted in his mouth and hummed lazily: "There are really two times to retreat with your whole body...... How many did he kill, did he say?"
"Nope. Lutha shook her head: "The knight came back exhausted and covered in bruises. Without a minute of rest, he went straight to Mace. β
"What's the hurry? Tell them a week or two later that they won't be short of meat. Mad Dog snorted disdainfully: "It's no good to be courteous, I don't understand what he is doing." β
"The knight is not like that!" Lusa hurriedly pleaded, "He-"
"Oh, he's certainly not a utilitarian, much-happy guy. Leaning against the head of the bed, Ceresya narrowed her eyes: "Forget it, don't talk about this." I'd better try Miss Lusa's cake full of love. β
"Hmm. With uneasiness and anticipation, Lusha shoved the basket into the arms of the mad dog: "That...... Please try it. To be honest, I wasn't confident about the taste. β
"After all, it's meat cooking, so it's normal to be unconfident. Mad Dog grabbed a piece of cake and sniffed it intoxicated: "Hmm...... It tastes so much stronger than the chef's. β
Sniffing again, he took a large bite and chewed quickly. With the leap of her masticatory muscles, Cereya's face became more and more wrong, and finally she looked like she was about to cry.
The expression twitched, and the mad dog swallowed the cake with a painful expression. Looking at the piece saved in his hand, the corners of his mouth twitched: "That...... Lusha, you haven't tasted this meat floss yet, have you?"
"Hmm. Lusha was embarrassed: "Aya can't eat meat." β
"I think so. The mad dog sighed, his expression growing more and more sad.
"Is it unpalatable?" looked at Seresa's expression, and Lusa was extremely disappointed.
"Can I tell the truth?" Mad Dog shook his head sadly, "The smell of this meat floss is horrible...... I can't swallow it at all. β
"That's it. A sense of frustration welled up in her heart, and Lusa looked up in frustration: "Then, I'll take them away......"
"Don't. How can such a lovely girl throw away the cake she made for me?" the mad dog laughed and covered the basket: "Remove the meat floss, and the rest can be eaten as usual." β
As soon as the words fell, a slow footstep sounded from outside the door, attracting the attention of the two.
