Shadow Slave

A few days later, a delicious aroma was slowly spreading through Sunny's home. He was currently in the kitchen area of the first floor, whistling an upbeat tune as his hands juggled several cooking utensils. There were several pans and pots simmering on the stove, and a scattering of fresh ingredients on the countertops around him.

"Ah, this smells so good…"

Taking a step to the side, he produced a strange knife out of nowhere and started slicing and dicing the vegetables, the triangular blade moving so fast that it turned into a blur.

Rain, who was tasked with peeling the potatoes, gave him a long and dark look.

"Sunny… not to doubt your honesty and professional integrity, but how exactly is this a part of my training? Are you sure you're not just using me as cheap labor? No, wait… it's not even cheap, I am actually paying you!"

Without stopping what he was doing, Sunny looked at her and frowned.

"Why, of course! I am very sure. Also, is this how you handle a blade? By gods, you just sliced half of that poor potato off and threw it into the sink! It's called peeling, not destroying, you know! Where's your finesse? Where's your precision? Control that knife better! These things are very expensive!"

Rain stared at him with burning resentment for a few moments, then sighed heavily and continued peeling the potatoes. Sunny grinned.

Effie, who was watching him cook with a wolfish expression, gulped.

"So, uh… it's not ready yet?"

His eyes twitched.

"...Forty seconds, damn it. That's how long ago you asked the same question. For a hundredth time. What do you think changed since then?!"

Effie opened her mouth to retort, but at that moment, the doorbell rang.

A sadistic light suddenly gleamed in Sunny's eyes.

"Oh. I wonder who can it be."

He glanced at Rain and said nonchalantly:

"Rain, go see who it is."
