Man in the Ark: Revitalizing Kazdel

After seeing off the Doctor and Kal'tsit, Theresa specially invited Roy to dinner and said that she would cook herself this time.

"Theresa, you can actually cook. I never realized that you can cook." In Roy's opinion, as the Demon King and the princess of the Sarkaz, Theresa should have someone to serve her in her daily life.

"Don't underestimate me. When I lived with my brother, I was the one who cooked. But he was very busy with work and rarely came home to eat."

Talking about her past, Theresa couldn't help but show a look of emotion. Although those times were hard, they were also precious memories.

Theresa's current residence was arranged in the Military Committee Building. According to her, this was a room that Ascalon carefully arranged for her for safety reasons.

After entering the room, Theresa said she needed to change her clothes first and asked Roy to sit by himself for a while.

After sitting down, Roy began to observe the layout of the entire room. The living room was not very spacious.

There is a small kitchen in front of the living room, with some simple kitchen utensils. There is a small cabinet in the corner, which I guess is a refrigerator.

On the left were the bedroom and study. The door of the study was open, and Roy could see the tall bookshelves inside.

On the right is the balcony. There are some green plants planted in pots on the fence, with a few small flowers blooming here and there.

Roy thought of the rental house where he used to live. Although it was a bit shabby, it was a very warm little home.

Now Theresa's home also gives him the same feeling. Maybe he should have his own home. He can't always live in the dormitory.

Although Roy thought it was cool to live on a landspeeder, the noise it made when it moved was simply killing him.

Theresa quickly changed her clothes and walked out of the bedroom. She tied her long hair up, revealing her fair and slender neck, and changed into loose home clothes.

The high heels on her feet were also taken off, and her relaxed little feet were stepped on a pair of slippers with a pattern of beasts of burden.

Seeing Theresa's outfit, Roy couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Noticing Roy's gaze on her, Theresa's lips curled up slightly. She walked into the kitchen with brisk steps, humming a little tune while putting on an apron.

She planned to show off her cooking skills in front of Roy and let him see what the "devil's cooking skills" were.

Roy was also looking forward to what kind of dinner Theresa would prepare for him, but when he saw Theresa working in the kitchen, he quickly understood why Theresa often didn't come home for dinner.

Theresa took out a piece of meat from the refrigerator and placed it on the chopping board. She pulled out a kitchen knife and cut the meat and the chopping board in half.

Roy's eyes widened immediately. This... this is not right...

Theresa looked at the chopping board that was cut in half, paused in her knife swing, and then silently put the knife down.

He chose to take out the vegetables and wash them. In Roy's impression, washing vegetables should be done by gently breaking open the leaves with hands, and then washing away the mud and sand with water.

But in Theresa's hands, the leaves and mud were washed away, leaving only the stems of the vegetables in her hands.

Theresa's earlobes felt slightly hot, but she still lowered her head and insisted on washing the dishes in her hands. She hadn't cooked for decades, so it was normal for her to become a little rusty.

Roy was completely astounded when he saw the way Theresa washed vegetables. Could this be the "Devil's Supreme Vegetable Washing Technique"?

Roy, who was waiting for dinner in the living room, couldn't sit still before the dishes were washed. If Theresa continued to wash like this, he would probably go hungry tonight.

So he quickly got up and went into the kitchen to do it himself.

Roy came to Theresa, picked up a handful of greens from the basket, and said as he demonstrated: "Theresa, this is how you should wash vegetables."

After demonstrating once, Roy handed the remaining vegetables to Theresa and nodded for her to try it too.

But in Theresa's hands, the leaves were still washed down with the water.

"Um... Roy, can you demonstrate it again?" Theresa smiled embarrassedly and said to Roy.

Seeing Theresa's pleading eyes, Roy's heart paused.

"If you don't mind, I'll teach you step by step."

"Well, I don't mind, come on." Theresa nodded and replied softly.

Roy came behind Theresa and slowly moved closer to her back. Her high ponytail was a bit of a hindrance.

Roy pushed it aside, then reached out and gently held Theresa's hand, using his thumb to guide her slender fingers to rub the dirt off the leaves.

The moment he held her hand, Roy felt Theresa's body stiffen for a moment, but then relaxed.

"As long as you do it gently, you won't damage the leaves, and you can also clean the mud and sand on them..." Roy whispered in Theresa's ear, introducing the tips for washing vegetables.

Because they were so close, Roy could smell the faint fragrance of her long pink and white hair. And Theresa's body seemed to be slightly hot, and only her hands, which were washed by water, were at normal body temperature.

Theresa also noticed something wrong with her body and felt dizzy for no apparent reason.

Roy's voice, teaching me how to wash vegetables, was right next to my ear, but I didn't hear a word he said.

My earlobes and cheeks felt like they were on fire, and I could feel the heat without touching them.

His heart was beating very fast and his body seemed to be out of control. He could only rely on Roy behind him to support himself.

Unconsciously, Roy felt as if he had been infected by Theresa. His body began to heat up, and the hot air he exhaled fell on Theresa's white and crystal earlobes.

It was stained with a light pink, and the pink also climbed up Roy's cheeks where he couldn't see it.

Roy had now forgotten that he was teaching Theresa how to wash vegetables. His mind was blank, and his hand, which was originally washing vegetables, unconsciously clenched Theresa's hand.

Theresa's head was even more dizzy now. She wanted to pat her cheeks with her wet hands to cool down her overheated brain.

When she tried to pull her hand away, she found that her hand was tightly clasped with Roy's.

After a few gentle pumps, Roy's grip tightened even more.

"How can you teach people to wash vegetables like this..." Theresa complained softly in her heart, but she did not forcibly pull her hand out. Instead, she leaned back.

The water continued to flow, gently caressing their clasped hands. They both forgot about washing vegetables and quietly enjoyed this brief warm moment.

Unfortunately, the Originium clock interrupted them tactlessly, and the bell rang, indicating the arrival of seven o'clock in the evening.

Roy woke up suddenly and found that the water in the sink was about to overflow. He quickly let go of Theresa's hand and tightened the faucet.

"Theresa, we..." Roy found that his other hand was still clasped with Theresa's, so he quickly let go and said hesitantly.

"Roy, I really like this feeling. Let's cook together next time we have a chance." Theresa frankly expressed her inner feelings and extended an invitation to Roy.

As a demon king who can see into the mind, Theresa chooses to believe in her own inner feelings and also believes in what she sees in Roy's heart.

Looking at the smile on Theresa's face, Roy was stunned for a moment, scratching his head and grinning foolishly.

"it is good!"

After Roy's hands-on teaching, Theresa's skill in washing vegetables improved a lot, at least she would not wash away the mud and leaves together. But occasionally she would splash water on Roy who was cutting meat.

Roy didn't indulge her. He reached out and dipped some water, then splashed it on Theresa's face and long hair.

Theresa also fought back by dipping vegetable leaves in water. The kitchen suddenly became a mess and laughter filled this small home.

After some trouble, dinner for the two was finally served on the table, a simple meal of meat, one vegetable and rice.

Theresa and Roy ate with gusto, after all, this was the first time they cooked a meal together.

The seasoning is not only oil and salt, but also the special emotions between the two people.
