After their discussion, Kid decided to live in the S-class dormitory.
A few hours later, his uniform was delivered, along with some basic furniture, a change of clothes, and other necessities.
With the efficient assistance of Arnaud, who had been instructed by Garnet to help with the move-in, Kid was settled in by the evening.
Albero decided to call Lapis over and formally introduce him to Kid.
Kid was sitting on the sofa in the lounge.
ㅤ
“Hey. . . . . .we haven’t introduced ourselves properly yet.”
“. . . . . .”
“Good day. My name is Lapis Lazuli Kirara Fragment. Please call me Lapis.”
“I’m Albero Rushout. Just Albero is fine.”
“And. . . . . .Kid. I’m not some privileged noble like you guys, just a commoner.”
ㅤ
Kid said that and then fell silent.
Albero only said what needed to be said.
ㅤ
“Let me be clear about one thing. I’m mad that you attacked me, but for now. . . . . .let’s try to get along as teammates. After hearing about your circumstances, I can’t think of you as a stranger.”
“You too?”
“Yeah. I lost. . . . . .dear comrades.”
“. . . . . .”
“A demon attacked, and all my classmates died. . . . . .I was left for dead, and my summoned beast gave me this right hand. . . . . .haha, sounds similar to your story from earlier.”
“. . . . . .Is that so?”
ㅤ
Kid snorted and took off the hat he was wearing.
ㅤ
“One thing you guys should know. . . . . .if the 『Lust』 demon appears, never engage.”
“. . . . . .Seeking revenge?”
“Yes. It’s the enemy of my family, my sister, and my village comrades. That woman. . . . . .Florentia, I will kill her.”
ㅤ
Kid then raised his left index and thumb, which transformed to have a texture resembling shark skin, with the upper arm taking on the appearance of being encrusted with jade.
“It’s shimmering and beautiful. . . . . .is that jade?”
“Yeah. It’s Billy. . . . . .no, 『Summoned beast Headsman』. Its power is 『Penetration』. . . . . .no matter the object, bullets with its power will penetrate anything. Though it didn’t work on you.”
“That’s because of my power.”
ㅤ
Albero and Lapis sat opposite Kid and shared their abilities and stories.
Surprisingly, they got along well.
After about thirty minutes of chatting, Kid spoke.
ㅤ
“I’m getting hungry. . . . . .”
“Then, let’s have dinner. To also welcome Kid, let’s make it grand!”
“But I’m the one cooking. . . . . .”
“. . . . . .Cooking?”
ㅤ
Albero stood up and donned an apron, heading to the kitchen.
Since Lapis is incredibly clumsy and can’t even peel potatoes, she was tasked with preparing drinks.
Soon after, Kid, also wearing an apron, entered the kitchen.
ㅤ
“I like to make my own food.”
“It’s a welcome party, you can rest. I’ve got it.”
“It’s okay. Besides, I don’t dislike cooking.”
“Huh?”
ㅤ
Kid checked the contents of the fridge and confirmed with Albero which ingredients he could use.
After setting aside the ingredients for breakfast and taking out the rest, he grabbed a knife.
ㅤ
“It’s been a while since I’ve held a knife. Let me get back into the groove.”
“Wait, what? Are you into cooking?”
“Sort of.”
ㅤ
And then, Albero witnessed it.
Kid’s lightning-fast knife skills, effortlessly cutting through meat and vegetables.
With a heated pan in his left hand, Kid tossed in meat, vegetables, and seasonings, skillfully shaking the pan.
ㅤ
“”. . . . . .””
ㅤ
Albero and Lapis were transfixed by Kid.
They felt there’s a pro in cooking. That’s how good it is.
And then, once the cooking was done, various dishes lined up on the table.
ㅤ
“Well, it’s just a random dish from what I had. Eat as you like.”
“You definitely love cooking, don’t you?! What was that knife and pan handling earlier?!”
“It’s, it’s amazing! The ingredients seem to dance in the pot. . . . . .it’s incredible!”
“Just eat. It’ll get cold.”
“”T, Thank you for the meal…””
ㅤ
Both of them immediately reached for the food.
Albero took a bite of the stir-fried vegetables. . . . . .The crispiness was a surprise, making him question all the stir-fried veggies he ever had, and the meat was juicy.
ㅤ
“It’s, it’s delicious. . . . . .So good!!”
“It’s tasty. . . . . .Wonderful!!”
“Hmph. . . . . .I made it from scratch.”
“Eh. . . . . .Oh, are you referring to earlier?”
“Just eat.”
ㅤ
Kid started eating without saying anything else.
Albero understood. Kid was apologizing for the assault in the park in the town below the castle. He apologized to Albero and Lapis through the medium of cooking.
ㅤ
“. . . . . .You’re not straightforward.”
“You, shut up.”
“Alright, alright.”
“Albero, Albero, this meat is so juicy!”
ㅤ
Albero thought. . . . . .he might get along well with Kid.
