Chapter 2: "Miss Kitty"

Checked all floors of the mansion, except for the second and third floors. Linc had finally found a kitchen after so long searching.

Although the kitchen equipment here is very much and neat. Linc managed to find an oddity.

"Grains of rice fell on the edges of the stove. So much soap suds in the sink..."

Looking into the contents of the kitchen sink, Linc saw a thick green liquid, pooling, and drowning the dirty dishes that were there.

"Dish cleaning liquid... So much..."

At first glance, this room was a bit grubby than before. Linc drew the word neat here.

"First make some porridge first."

According to what the system had told his, the little girl's body was now extremely weak.

Special food means food that contains lots of supplements, and vitamins, so that the body returns to the shape it used to be.

Looking at the result of the mess in the kitchen, it seemed like Raina had just been cooking here before his arrival into this mansion.

[First note:]

[Raina is not good at cooking.]

Recorded his findings in his system's diary. Linc started to cook the porridge.

Most of the food here has rotted very badly. Except for the almost mushrooming rice, and some dry-resistant spices, everything was immediately removed.

Looked out the window and saw some yellow dandelions growing in the yard. Direct Linc Has an idea.

"Today I'm going to cook dandelion porridge. Hope she likes it."

Dandelions usually have 3 identities, ornamental plants, food, and herbal medicine.

Young dandelion leaves can especially be used to make porridge or soup. Although the taste is a bit unpleasant and bitter like herbal medicine, foods made from dandelion usually have a diuretic effect, and help speed up the body's metabolism.

"Meow~"

A black cat meowed loudly at the wide open window.

Seeing a black cat that has a lot of white fur all over its body. Linc greeted him warmly.

"Hello Miss Kitty."

"Meow~~"

Greet each other with understanding. They started doing their own activities.

Linc took the pan and washed the rice thoroughly. As for Miss Kitty whom Linc had only just met, she was basking in the sun leisurely.

They are busy doing what they are doing. Without realizing that someone was watching them secretly.

"!!!?"

Quickly turn to the side. Linc, who was carefully holding the kitchen knife, kept a wary eye on the kitchen entrance.

He felt like someone was watching him earlier, and that person could only stare at him from within the dark light, staring intently at him.

Honestly, this feeling really sucks.

He sensed that someone had just come into this kitchen to peek at them.

Linc knew it wasn't on sharp instinct. Rather it comes from the smell.

That guy's smell...

Very rotten.

"Miss Kitty, does anyone other than Raina live here?"

"Nyaw~!"

The answer the old cat gave was a comfortable purr in the warm sun.

But Linc, who felt the darkness of the mansion getting darker, felt his whole body turn very cold.

"Anyway, it doesn't bother."

Back to taking care of his own workers. Linc continued to cook the porridge like he did the first time.

"Tick... Tick... Tick..."

The stench came again.

However, this time it was accompanied by the sound of slightly heavy footsteps, as if dragging a heavy slimy object.

Still grind the cinnamon calmly with a kitchen knife. Linc's eyes behind the demon mask, shifted to the side slowly, and looked at the creature's figure calmly.

A fat man, wearing a white apron which was slightly stained with blood, the jeans that the man was wearing were badly damaged.

Rotten...

The man just stared calmly at Linc in the kitchen doorway. His open smile, and his pale white eyes, made the room a bit more gloomy.

His body odor was still rotten. Just like the smell of a corpse.

Linc held the kitchen knife a little tighter.

Trying to maintain absolute silence and friendship between the two of them. Linc tried to pretend he didn't see him.

Add the cinnamon powder to the dandelion pulp, and stir it a little. Linc turned around, and hid the knife in his sleeve.

The devilish smile on Linc mask and the fat man's friendly smile create an indescribable artistic contrast in this humble kitchen.

The one who moves first is the winner.

However, the one who moves first, then he will be called "devil."

"Blup..."

"Meow~"

The porridge water in the pot had dried up a little, and the mushy rice, which had turned into porridge, started to give off hot steam.

The fat man slowly moved away from the kitchen doorway. And he disappeared into the darkness of the corridor.

Linc breathed a sigh of relief.

He hid the kitchen knife in his coat.

Without realizing it, his own hands were already shaking.

"The people in your house are not at all friendly Miss Kitty. Is he mad that I stole his job?"

"Meow~"

"Aw, you managed to persuade me."

Caressed the head, and after that Miss Kitty's back gently. Linc took a bowl, and put the porridge in it.

Adding dandelion flowers and a little more sprinkle of cinnamon and a pinch of salt, the dandelion porridge is finally done.

"How should I give it to Miss Raina? Do you know how Miss Kitty?"

"Meow!"

Linc suddenly froze in silence.

Without him noticing at all, a huge black shadow had stood next to him, and it was continuously emitting a very strong stench.

Linc didn't dare look up.

He only saw a board containing a bowl of dandelion porridge, picked up by a fatty hand, and it was dragged aside until it disappeared from the corner of his view.

"T-Th... Thank... you..."

Plump lips whispered in his ear. Linc stammered.

Linc simply chose to remain silent.

"Hihihihihihihihi...."

Leaving Linc alone frozen in the kitchen. The fat man came out of the kitchen carrying a tray of porridge, and disappeared into the hallway laughing incoherently.

"Meow~"

Linc felt his heartbeat was too tired to continue exercising.

"How about we eat together Miss Cat? There's still some porridge left here. I'll take 80% and you're the rest."

"Meow~!"

"Deal."

Linc took two bowls of porridge, and divided them according to their mutual agreement. Linc lowered the bowl of porridge for Miss Kitty onto the floor. Linc was also sitting on a slightly dusty table.

Looking at the dandelion porridge that gave off a seductive heat on the dining table. Linc touched the demon mask that had been covering his face all this time.

When he touched the edge of the mask, Linc hesitated for a moment.

With slightly shaking hands. Linc opened a little distance on the mask, and suddenly he coughed up blood!

"Bluergh!!"

NO, he's vomiting blood!

A huge amount!

Bloodstains began to splatter, and spread across the dining table like an unstoppable pour of tap water.

Quickly cover the mask on his face. Linc felt very sorry when the porridge on the table was splashed with blood.

[Item Name: "Immortal Demon Mask."]

[Description: Can only be used by people who are close to death. No need to eat or drink. when activated will cause the body's metabolism to be reduced by half, and the body to enter semi-hibernation.]

This demon mask was a novice gift bestowed by the system on him.

If there wasn't this mask, Linc would most likely have died a long time ago.

"Too bad. How about you Miss Kitty, would you like to eat my breakfast?"

Miss Kitty's answer was that the bowl was only half eaten.

"Miss Kitty, your diet is terrible."

"nyaw~"

Ignoring the blood splatter on the table. The old black cat sat on Linc's lap, and began to rub its head comfortably there.

"Miss Kitty, I hope we will be good friends."

"Purrr~"

Linc pampers Miss Kitty in the warm sun.
