Chapter 11

We looked at each other, while Chis was munching the cake. I put my hand to my face.

“So you are stuck with me…” I said “What a disaster to me…”

“*gulping*” sound of Chis swallowing.

“Will you pay for those?”
“I thought that 3 gold coins from Varania covered me too…surely I didn't bring any coins.”

“Huhhhhh *sigh* right…Whatever, I can make it covering you too..”

I walked to the front, to clean up the dish from Varania. When I tried to pick up the left dish from Varania, I saw Chis done with her drink and her cake already.

“Are you done with that?” I asked her “I will pick it up, if you are already done.”

“Ah yeah, I was done, you may pick it up..”

I picked them too with my other hand, and I walked to the kitchen behind the counter. Somehow, Chis was following me there. After I put all of it in the sink, I saw there was already some stack in it, so I decided to wash all the dishes.

While I was doing the dishes, Chis was beside me.

She asked “What is this thing? That water came from it.”

“It's a water tap…”

“Tap?” Immediately she was tapping the tap…

“Not tap like that, it's a water faucet then..”

“Weird one, and what is that in your hand?”

“Sponge…to easily wash the dish.”

Suddenly, she was looking around the kitchen, and she was fascinated about the kitchen. At some point, she screamed out of sudden…I was surprised by her scream, she rushed walking toward me.

She asked me, “What is that wardrobe you have?”

“Wardrobe? I don’t have that in here..”

“Are you blind or what? That white big box thing, is that your wardrobe?”

“White big box thing?” I realized what she was talking about “Ah! You mean the refrigerator.”

“What? Is not a wardrobe?”

“Just wait for a second, I will tell you and show you this ‘wardrobe’ you are speaking of.”

After a few seconds, I was done with the dishes. “Now let’s see this wardrobe you are speaking of, lead me the way.”

She led me to the refrigerator.

“This white box thing is surely a wardrobe.” she said.

“No it’s not…” I opened the refrigerator, surely the light from it would shine bright. “What is the thing that makes you scream from this thing?”
“I didn’t scream like I was scared off, because I was shocked.”

“Shock??? Ahahahahahahahahahahaha, you were shocked just because of this light...Have you noticed in front? There are lights that are the same as this refrigerator light…”

“WHAT! You mean those bright things on the ceiling, I thought they were sort of magic..SO WHAT IS THIS?”

“This is a refrigerator…it is not a wardrobe…it is used for cooling the food, the drink and prolonging them, so it does not stale the food or the drink..”

“What is a profanity that thing? I have never seen a thing like this before..”

“Really?” Of course she is, the refrigerator machine was invented in 1805.

“But…there is nothing inside of it…”

“Because I already have the inventory skill, surely I don’t use the refrigerator much..”

“So it’s worthless than…”

“Sort of..” I don’t believe a refrigerator could be worthless with just the inventory system..

Suddenly, my stomach was growling…I remembered I hadn’t eaten yet since I was in this world…I checked my inventory skills to see what I could eat…While I was staring at the inventory screen, Chis was surrounding me, and looked around me…Her behavior seemed a little bit annoying to me.

She was beside me “What are you looking at?” She asked me

“Just looking for something to eat..”

“But you're just staring blankly..” Immediately she leaned her face in front of my face.. “Now you are staring at my face.”

“Get out of my sight!!”

I turned my back from her face, but she kept putting her face in front of mine…With fast, I chose the instant noodle from the inventory…In quick, the instant noodle was in my hand…

She saw there was something in my hand, and asked “What is that..”

“My meal..”

“Give me that!” She suddenly grabbed it from me “What is this word??”

“Give it back!” I immediately snatched it back from her, “You know, noodle?”
“Nooddle? I don’t know that…”

“Really? What about spaghetti or pasta?”

“Hmmmmmmm, I don’t recall those words from my memory..”

I don’t know if this world will be that old. I recall pasta invented in Italy in the 13th century, but there is still some information, about sorts of pasta in other regions, that was known before italy…Nevertheless, Noodles should be older than pasta, but she doesn't know about it. Does it mean this world follows the Europe era?

“Now, I want to make it for myself…”

I ignored her, started walking to pick up the new pan, not the pan with the ring inside of it, and filled it with water. After the pan was filled with enough water, I went to the stove in the kitchen…

“What are you doing??” She asked…

“*sigh* what again?”

“That pan, what are you doing with that pan?”

“I am boiling it..”

“Where is the fire? I don’t see it..”

“Ah!! This is an electric stove, how about you put your hand in here..”
She walked toward me…

“Put your hand on there…” I pointed to the empty spot beside the pan, immediately she put her hand to it………... .in quick, she felt it, and pulled her hand…

“So is that hot?”

“YES THAT’S HOT….” She continued to blow her hand… “How does that thing work if there is no fire there?”

Here we go again… “Thermal conduction..”

“Terr- what?”
“Ther..mal..Conduction..”

“What is that?”

“I will not tell you…”

She kept nagging me…”hei why don't you want to tell me?”
I didn’t want to explain it because it was difficult to explain, maybe I could say it was like you rubbed your two hands between each other, and rubbed it so fast, so it made your hands become warmer, that was the simple explanation for that…But she would ask more…

The water was already boiled, so I put the noodles in the pan, and ignored her…I waited for 3-5 minutes, kept ignoring her, while I took a plate and poured all the MSG or seasoning powder to the plate…After the noodle cooked, I put the noodle to the plate, and she changed the question..

“Why don't you add the water too?”

“Because it’s fried noodles..”

“Fried? I don’t see you frying, you were just boiling the water, it should be called boiled not fried.”

“Yeah..yeah…whatever..” I mixed the noodles with the powder…

She asked again, “The color has changed…”

“Because it’s mixed with the sweet soy, oil, and seasoning powder…so the color is changed.”

Immediately she snatched the plate from me “Give me that!”

I tried to retrieve it back, but she was way taller than me, so she got the noodle…She immediately ate it, and said “It is so good…”

“Yeah..yeah…you better eat that while sitting, not standing like that.”

She took the plate to the front, and sat at the counter.

I took another noodle from the inventory and started to make it again. While she was eating the noodles, she didn’t disturbed me making another noodles..After it was done, I joined her at the front, but when I was in there, her plate was already cleaned, I looked at her face, she seemed to be targeting my plate..

“Oh NO NO NO NO, you already ate that, and now you want to snatch this again..”

“Alright alright…I will not take that from you..”

“Great then..” I sat at the counter with my noodles plate…but

“Sike…” she immediately tried to snatch it again..

In quick response, I kicked her, in a miracle, she actually took a hit, got thrown away and hit the wall..

“*painful noise* atah…how the hell you could kick me like that? I am the creature who stands side by side with the Demon Lord, and now I got kicked by a weakling human..”

I ignored her, and ate my meal…

…

After I finished my meal, I locked the front door, because I planned to close the shop for tonight…I said to Chis “You will sleep there..” I pointed at the barefoot section, where there were giant pillows and some spaces to sleep. “But take off your shoes first, before you step your foot in there..”

“And where you sleep?”

“I sleep upstairs, in my room..”

“You have your own room? Surely I can join you…”

“No you can..”

Chis stood up from the seat, walked toward me, she rubbed my arms, my head, and said “maybe we can snuggle around..”

“*gulping* what you mean by snuggling around?”
“~ah come on~ you know what I mean, you humans surely have a lot of desire..” she continued rubbing me, but for some reason, she started to rub me in no zone..

I immediately ran upstairs, opened the door, and in front of the door, I shouted to her “NO WE CAN’T, YOU SLEEP ON THERE, OKAY..” I closed my door by slamming it, and locked the door.
