Today is Eloise's birthday! I am inexperienced with cooking, or anything. I wan't to learn, i want to surprise her! what to do? what to do?
Aha! Deadly Romance once mentioned he was good at cooking dishes because he has a family that he takes care to!
[Deadly Romance Home]
Knocking on the door, is quite pressuring. i do not know what lies beyond this door, i'm not saying that Deadly Romance is a shady man. I'm just cautious.
Before i could ever knock, Deadly Romance opened the door.
"No wonder i sense disturbance. It's mademoiselle's girlfriend!"
I waved awkwardly to him.
"What's the purpose of your visit madame?"
I need to be calm, i wan't to give Eloise my warm love through cooking!
"Can you please teach me how to cook? Tomorrow's Eloise birthday, and i wan't to make something special for her!"
Deadly Romance's eyes widened as it sparkles.
"I've been waiting for this moment!"
Deadly Romance dragged me into his house, from the outside it was your typical house. But from the inside, it's far bigger and magical. It's interior feels like it's not from this world... i feels like it's from a different era.
"Love the design? Eloise arranged all of these for me!"
Eloise? She's also a designer? since when?!
As I sit on the couch, a lady approached me. She looks the same age as Eloise.
"Pardon me, may I ask who might you be?"
"I am Celestina."
"Oh! My Husband has talked about you a lot!"
Husband? Husband?! Wait, Deadly Romance has a wife?, though I knew that he has a family, I never expected him to have a wife due to his feminine nature.
"Oh! What's your name?"
"My Name's Estelle!"
If I remember correctly, Deadly Romance's real name is a french sparkle. Now his wife's name is the french of star!
Aren't that cute?
"So what might be your purpose on visiting here Celestina?"
"I'm here for a request. I wan't to learn how to cook!"
Estelle looked at me with a shine in her face, like a shine of relief. Is she fearing that i am Deadly Romance's mistress?!
Deadly Romance scooped me up from the couch, as he carefully lays me sitting down on the kitchen.
"Pardon me for my wife, she's quite a little bit..... ya know."
Is she the man of this family? what a strange family this is!
"I'll teach you Eloise's favorite dish called Adobo!"
Adoh-boh?
"What is that dish?"
"It's her favorite dish from her hometown, she said. She also teached me how to do it! Now i'm passing it to you!"
I dropped from the counter to stand, as Deadly Romance starts to gather the ingredients in the table.
"What we need is soysauce, onions, salt, sugar, pepper and chicken!"
These are foreign ingredients. I haven't heard about these kind of ingredients on the books we have on the realm, perhaps the book i have is outdated.

Today's May 4th, in the my world's date. Meaning it's my birthday today, I miss my mother's cooking...
***
We prepared the Adobo through a container that, fills it perfectly. The Adobo is now finished! I've successfully cooked a dish!
"That looks wonderful! And the taste? Magnifique!"
I'm quite anxious, I'm giving Eloise the first dish that I've ever cooked in my entire life. Will she like it? Would she hate it? One thing to know is when I give it to her.
***
As I walk admiring the skies, full of stars. It's just comforting you know? Seeing the stars and the galaxy in their full glory, it is as if there's milk spread around our big world.
It's such a shame that in my world, light pollution prevents us to see the stars in their full glory. Never to see the beauty of our origins, and leave us feeling that we're not alone in this world.
But I wonder... Can we travel across the universe in this world? It's teeming with magic, with technological intervention. We could sail through the skies and through the stars. Finding possible worlds, perhaps aliens!
My Expectations are quite high. I've been reincarnated in this world for a reason... People have lived here for millions of years, compared to my world which has advanced for thousands of years.
This world is stuck within an era, due to the interference of gods.
Hahaha, why am I even thinking too deeply about this? I've been isekai'd at this world and the common rule to ask is never to question the rules of an isekai.
***
Using a container is a great help for storing the adobo! As I'm looking at it, the dish is still warm! Deadly Romance advocated for me to also pack up rice for a delightful pair for the Adobo!
Upon the horizon, I saw Eloise looking above the stars. Admiring it... She looks cute.
***
I know that scent! It's growing near and near, huh?
As I looked from my behind, I see Celestina smiling with a container in her hands. From the aroma and the scent, it's... ADOBO!
***
Eloise's face looks like a child getting a gift in the winter. Face full of wonders, and delight.
As she takes her first bite, stars sparkle through her eyes. She jumped back and forth until she calmed down and kneeled in front of me.
"I do not believe that this is your first time cooking Celestina!"
***
It's like I'm tasting my mother's dish again, her famous dish that I truly adore and love. Even by the taste of it, it's identical! I love this!
***
I'm glad that my worries became null, she's enjoying every single piece of it. Until it went away in a flash!
"I'm very grateful for this Celestina."
"Happy Birthday Eloise..."
Eloise frozenly looked at me, as her eyes starts to sparkle. Tears flow through her eyes as she wipes them off.
"Thank you, Celestina... I love you."
"I love you too."
The tension is rising, as she looks at me with a seductive look. Twirling her hair, she slowly comes right at me with her fingers slowly coming through the top of my clothes and carassing my chin.
"For that, you deserve a reward~"
She grabbed my head and passionately kissed me under the bright shining moonlight. Escorting me to our house, and locking the doors for our venture to something... Naughty.
-HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELOISE!-
