The cooking part was fun.
Lith saw many new colors on Sylvia. Her slightly flushed face, her slightly confused face, her slightly amused face, her mildly inconvenienced face, and her slightly happy face.
Every emotion was just in slight amounts. This girl was destined to be a kuudere in future, if she ever awoke feelings for Lith.
Nonetheless, at least her neutral face had some change to it.
Lith sat down with her on a rock by a river. They gazed at the many fishes leaping and going upstream.
Lith blew on a hot spoonful of curry rice and fed it to Sylvia, who ate it without any resistance.
He turned his gaze to the fishes and with a smile, asked, "Do you know the story of the carp leaping through the dragon gate?"
Sylvia, chewing on the curry rice cutely, shook her head. There was no time in her life to go through fairy tales.
"Well, long long ago, there was once a carp…"
