Shiva washed his hands and started cutting the vegetables one by one. It took him just a minute to finish all the ingredients.
Karina was shocked by his speed and preciseness of his cut. Like those master chefs on TV, all of the pieces are perfectly cut.
Nonetheless, Karina is happy and asks "when did you learn culinary skills?" Shiva smiled and said "I am Genius and good at everything."
Karina smiled and said "okay okay. Now go and watch TV. I will finish the rest." Shiva shook his head and said "why don't you let me cook today?"
Karina looked at him and said "can you even cook? I don't want to waste my ingredients." Shiva rolled his eyes and said "just wait and watch."
Karina hesitated but let him try. She still didn't leave the kitchen. She stayed there to stop him before he burned down the kitchen.
Shiva was speechless and said "you will be surprised soon."
He turned on the heat and put the pan on the stove. He has lifetime memories of Joichiro. He was a chef who traveled across the world and mastered almost all kinds of dishes.
He also learned a lot of Indian cooking styles and some of their special dishes.
From those he selected two for now. As they are perfect with the current ingredients.
One is the Aloo Gobi, which is basically, crisp golden potatoes and cauliflower. And second is Fish Curry.
He added Tortilla and Some white rice and the common and must, pulses.
Karina stands behind and looks with surprise and shock. She can see that all the ingredients and spices he uses are perfect. No, too perfect as if he has been cooking this his whole life.
The smell of the food has already spread throughout the whole house. Her appetite increases just from smelling the food.
She is now standing beside Shiva and smelling the food. She can't wait to taste it.
It was also the time for Kajal and Alia to return home. Shiva finished cooking before they returned from outside.
Karina used a spoon and tasted a little from all the dishes and her eyes lit up. She looks at Shiva with wide eyes and looks at the food again.
She can't find a word to say about it. Shiva smiles and asks "how is it?" Karina felt sad and said "your food is hundreds times better than the one I cook."
Shiva shook his head and said "no. no matter how much tastier it is, it can never compare to yours. Because it will never have one crucial ingredient."
Karina looked confused and Shiva said "you love and care when you cook the food."
Karina's eyes widened and then her eyes became moist and said "don't need to make me feel good. Now go and take shower. Alia and Kajal will be home soon."
Shiva smiles and leaves the kitchen. Karina smiles and happily brings the food on the table.
Kajal appeared when She was bringing the food. She immediately smells the food and asks "ma, what did you cook today. It smells so good."
Karina smiled and said "Shiva cooked today." Kajal's eyes widened when she heard Karina. She looks at the table and asks "how can garbage smell good?"
Karina smiled and said "then don't eat this garbage today. We can eat your share."
Kajal didn't reply and ran towards her room. She needs to take shower before she tastes that food.
Alia also comes after a few minutes of Kajal. When she smells the food she runs towards the table and lifts the lid of the food and smells it.
When she was about to take a piece of potatoes Karina scolded from behind "wash your hand before you take the food." Alia takes a spoon from the table and uses it and eats it.
Her eyes widened and asked "ma, did you order food?" Karina shook her head and said "no, Shiva cooked today." Alia's eyes widened and asked "Brother did?"
Karina nodded and told her to go to the shower before launch. She also went to her room.
A few moments later,
Kajal comes out after a quick shower. On her way she decides to call Shiva before she goes to the dining table.
She opened the door and was about to call Shiva when her eyes widened, then red and quickly shut the door.
Shiva looks at the closed door and shakes his head. He put on his clothes and came out of the room.
He went to the hall room and sat on the couch beside Kajal and turned on the TV. Kajal's face turned red and didn't say anything.
Shiva looks at Kajal from the corner of his eyes. She is wearing a green top and jeans shorts. She doesn't wear any bra at home as she feel it isn't needed.
After another few minutes, Alia and Karina also come out of their room.
Karina is a white 3 piece. It fits her body perfectly. Shiva can see her black bra underneath her dress.
Alia is wearing a white tops and jeans shorts. Her thick thighs are in his open view.
Karina called everyone for lunch and served everyone by herself. Alia and Kajal are dying to taste the food.
They didn't wait for anyone and started eating. Kajal and Alia both have smiles and closed eyes as they savor the taste of the food.
Karina looks at Kajal and asks teasingly "should I change your food?" Kajal opened her eyes and said "it's okay, I have eaten worse."
She then starts serving herself and takes more portions and starts eating like no tomorrow.
As for Alia she didn't even stop to hear the conversation.
~Scene change~
Shiva sits on the couch and watches TV with everyone. It's the news about the morning incident.
Alia lay on the couch with her head on Shiva's lap. Karina is sitting on the other couch with Kajal on her lap like Alia.
Karina sighed and shook her head as she said "I don't know why people fight amongst themselves when there is an impending doom around us."
Kajal Replied her "people want money and power. Now with this Dungeon appears a new window of possibilities open for them."
Alia suddenly said "it's near my school." Shiva combed her hair and said "don't worry, I will drop you off at school, from tomorrow."
Alia nodded her head. She asked "what did you do to those thugs?" Shiva smiled while looking at the TV and said "I told them that I am a Hunter and if they keep disturbing you, then I will beat them up. They got scared and agreed to not be there anymore."
Alia smiled and said "yes, when my friends heard that you are an A rank Hunter they keep asking me to meet you. But I told them you are busy."
Shiva, Karina and kajal smile. Karina suddenly asks "do you want to continue to go into the dungeon?"
Shiva nodded and said "yes, this can also help me use my ability more accurately."
Kajal lifted her head and said "then we can go together." Karina hit her head and said "you will fight with him more than fight with a monster."
Alia giggles when she hears Karina. She suddenly said "I wish I awakened my Hunter power earlier. Then we can go together."
Well they all have chances to awaken as they inherit some good genes from their mother.
No it's not always a guarantee that the child will awaken if one or both of the parents are Hunters. But there are still some cases where a child awakens as a Hunter because their parents are Hunter.
Such as the case for them. So Alia also has almost a 90% chance of awakening as a Hunter.
Shiva smiled and said "you will, and then we can all fight side by side."
