Number One Chef In The Intergalactic Era

Chapter 26

The three of them starts to make their way to the quarter. Along the way both of Bella's parents keep discussing about the meeting they had earlier. But Bella's mind is in on another place. She is still thinking about the pale faced guy, Kushan. For a moment, she wanted to hand him over the lunch box she brought for her mom. She has a strong feeling that the guy is sick.

Nobody can blame Bella for her overthinking. To her, food is the most important thing in a person's life. Without food, no one can stay alive. To live, to smile, to celebrate, even to stay happy people needs food. She thinks that the world revolves around food. Thus when she sees someone so sick because they doesn't eat food, her chef heart clutches in pain. She just want to cook and feed every living being of this world and show them the happiness food can bring.

"What are you thinking so hard, princess?" Her father calls her as he smoothes her frowned brows. Bella relaxes under his touch but her mind refuses to think anything else, apart from the suffering of the people of this world. She really, really wants to be a renowned chef as soon as possible, open a restaurant and finally relive the people from the clutches of nutrition liquid. The poor nutrition liquid has become an evil being to her mind.

"Who was the guy, mom?" Bella finally asks. She wanted to know about the guy not because she is attracted to him but because she is curious. She is even thinking of inviting him over sometimes to let him taste her cooking.

"Who, darling?" Beth asks her daughter in confusion. She has talked with a variety of people today so she can't understand who her daughter is mentioning.

"That guy who talked to you in the waiting room. Very pale face and tall."

"Oh, Kushan?" Beth finally remembers who her daughter is talking about. She couldn't help but chuckles at her daughter's description of him. If the guy knew then he would have raised his brow in amusement.

"He is Kushan, darling. His uncle is a board member." Beth wanted to say that it's originally the guy, Kushan who is a board member. But thinking about the complicated relationship he has with the organization, she stopped. She couldn't explain everything to her daughter so it's best if she doesn't mentions them.

"He was so pale...." Bella mutters to herself but her parents still hears her. Suddenly, it clicks to their head why their daughter is asking about him. Honestly, they themselves forgot that Kushan isn't a human. They thought for a moment before deciding that they should explain the circumstances to Bella, if they want their daughter to stop thinking about him. His father is already jealous that some unknown guy has snatched his spotlight from his daughter.

"Because he is a Blueman princess." Brandon explains. The relationship between Bluemans and mans are complicated. He thinks that he should explain to his daughter if he wants to avoid any future problem.

"Blueman?" Bella asks in confusion. This is the first time she heard about this term so she is pretty confused.

(The idea of Blueman isn't originally mine. I've read about this in one of my favorite novel. It's written in my country language and I don't know if it has a translated version or not. The nobel's name is Obonil in my language and Infrablue if I translate it. If anyone wants to read it, you can always check on the Google.

Though the idea of Blueman is originally written on that novel, my idea of Blueman has some similarities and dissimilarities with the novel. All in all, the character Blueman is mine and not mine at the same time.)

"Yes darling, Blueman. That's why he looked so pale. It's the Bluemans trait."

"Oh...does that mean he isn't a human?"

Bella further asks. This term Blueman has piqued her interest. Her science lover heart is dying to know about the term, Blueman.

"Well....he is human but not human at the same time." Her father answers with some uncertainty. He isn't very good at explaining this kind of things. So he looks at his wife and asks for help. Beth also gladly obliges and explains to her daughter.
