Number One Chef In The Intergalactic Era

Chapter 10

The day passed as usual and soon it's the next day. Blake and Berson is being prepared for their sister's 'check-up'. Brian wanted to stay but Blake shooed him away. Blue didn't know about anything so he just went on his way. Now it's only the two of them and their sister. Bella is preparing ingredients for her tomato soup. A few packages came this morning containing all her ingredients including seasoning, spices and even fresh onions and carrots. Bella is obviously very happy. She didn't thought that she would get so fresh ingredients. They seems as if they were plucked before sending to her. Well, there can be some chemical substance inside the ingredients since she is in a very high technological era. Nothing is impossible here. So it is also possible that the ingredients has been tempered with. But still she is happy. As long as they are edible and delicious, she can ignore everything.

The brothers are helping her organizing the ingredients. This is their first time seeing these things. They are pretty curious about what the ingredients are. They are surprised to see their sister handling them very familiarly. As if she is used to handle them. They also asked her how does she knows about them. She told them she has known all about them on the Skynet. The brothers knows that all kinds of weird things can be found in the Skynet so they weren't suspicious. Bella is also happy that they aren't questioning her. Otherwise, she doesn't know what she had to do.

After organizing all the ingredients she is almost ready when suddenly she remembered the most important thing. She doesn't have any stove! Or any kind of thing that produces heat! She forgot that since none of the people eats food, normally they don't need any kitchen let alone stove. How the hell is she going to cook soup then!? She can just eat them raw!

The brothers obviously saw how their sister suddenly froze. As if she remembered something very important and whatever she is doing can't be done without them. Blake quietly approaches her and asks her while rubbing her long hair.

"What's wrong? Why did you stopped?"

"Brother...." Bella starts before stopping. She doesn't know how to explain the mistake she made. Not only she doesn't have any stove she doesn't have any pots or anything that she can cook with. How can she forget such an important thing? She was a chef! A five stars Michelin chef! How can she be so forgetful!?

Actually it can't be blame on Bella. In her previous life, Bella was only responsible for cooking. She never had to worry about ingredients or instruments. She would just instruct them to provide her with fresh ingredients and useful instruments. Besides, she also had several assistants while cooking. So it's natural that she would forgot about things she has never done. Now, not only she doesn't have any instruments, she also doesn't have any assistants. She is now stuck on a bottleneck.

"Is there anything missing? Is that why you are sad?" Berson asks while glancing at the ingredients scattered on the table. They are still sitting in the living room. Their sister is sitting on the carpeted floor and is working on the ingredients. But suddenly she froze and looked at them with misty eyes. As if she is ashamed that she forgot something.

Bella truly is ashamed. She now feels she is a disgrace as a chef. She doesn't have any face to explain anything to her brothers. She just wanted to burry herself in the ground.

"Brothers, that's....." Bella chokes on her words. She really doesn't know how to face them.

"If you forgot something then tell us. We will just order them." Blake tries to coax her. They can tell that their sister is upset. They were just doing it for their sister's happiness. If she isn't happy, then forget them.

"Well..." Bella starts again. "I forgot few things."

"What did you forget?" Berson asks while touching some dried seasoning. He really is curious about their uses.
