Shekki wakes up in the greenhouse. She fell asleep after she finished one part of the green house. As much as she can, she wants to study the plants to know if she is doing right and giving fertilizer and water. Spraying a small amount of pesticide. She used a led light so she doesn't know that it is already so late. Falling asleep afterwards.
She stretches her arms and yawns. Walks to the house to go to her room but she frowns seeing the messy table. There's nothing left.
She smiles happily and looks at the closed door. What flatters the cook more than people finishing the food she served?
After she takes a quick soothing bath and changes her cloth. She went to the house to wash the dishes and cook again.
She bought sausages, hotdogs, eggs and bread. Then she bought milk for herself and some tea leaves for the others. Thinking they may like fresh milk, she also bought some and puts it in the clear glass pitcher she bought online.
She also bought some butter in case some of them will like it. Actually, she likes it and is just justifying herself.
Ham and bacon for the meat lovers. Sausages and hotdog to add some more flavors. She is so confident with her choice of breakfast. They are all fried after all. Even someone like her doesn't need a cookbook to prepare such a lavish but simple breakfast.
This time, the table is full of people. Shekki blinked but didn't say much. After preparing the food she stood on one side. The headmaster was completely satisfied in the food yesterday so he is assuming that today will also be the same. Seeing unfamiliar food served to him. He looks at Shekki. "What are these?"
"Bread and meat that goes along with it." --is her simple explanation.
"Sit down." Melvin says while patting a space beside him.
"No. No. It's fine. Senior Brother Orbit might find me annoying if I sit in his seat." She refused to eat with all the eccentric people. What if she chokes. But seeing Melvin smiling early in the morning is really such a blessing. Her smile became more sincere.
Elias looks at Shekki. "Who are you?"
Shekki's smiles disappear and she looks at him with a bit of forced smile. "Master's new servant girl."
"Ah. That girl that disturb me." He said mumbling.
"Y-yes."
Elias stares at her. Shekki trembles a bit. "Is there...a problem.Senior?"
"Did you cook that chicken? That duck is also good." He says while smiling a bit.
[AHHHHKK]
Shekki rubs her heart after getting hit by an arrow. That smile is destructible. Good thing she is wearing a poker face or else death may be her next destination.
"If you like it,Senior. I can cook another meat dish this lunch for you to try."
Elias crosses his arms and then takes a bite in the sausage. "You are good. You should call me when you are done cooking." He says smiling again.
Another huge arrow. Shekki massages her chest with a poker face.
Lan glares at Shekki. Shekki doesn't want any trouble so she looks down counting her fingers over and over again. The only sounds in the dining area are utensils and chewing sounds.
"It's good."
Shekki's face brightens and smiles at Gander.
"Thanking the Master for his compliment."
Gander looks at Shekki's respectful bow. "Go to the Clan hall and pick a suitable technique for yourself."
"......." Shekki tilts her head in confusion.
"The Master is rewarding you." Melvin said.
"Thanking the Master for his kindness." Shekki is smiling happily.
"Hmm." The Master turns around then stops. "Do not forget the herb garden."
"Rest assured, Master. I will try my best."
"Hmm." Gander went back to his bedroom.
"That is nice. Do you want me to help you pick a good one?" Melvin asks.
Shekki nods her head happily then she pauses and looks at Melvin with a bit concern. "Is it alright?"
Melvin finds it cute. Since his Junior Sister is aware that he is putting some space between them, he doesn't see her stick too much to him. On the contrary, it feels like she is scared to even touch him. He is happy that she is considerate.
"It's fine. I just finished my mission last night. And I ate those leaves with tofu. It is very tasty."
"Oh..I will make some more for Senior."
"Hmm."
Lan stood up and left. Seeing that,Shekki sighs. She doesn't know what he wants but he's been staring at her the whole time.
"He is not a bad person." Melvin said.
Shekki nods. "Yes." She doesn't feel like he hates her but it is still uncomfortable to be openly stared at.
