Chapter = 48

There was comfortable silence between Neong and Chisuke. The Dinner Hall was almost empty, filled with the aroma of various dishes which were capable of making anyone's mouth water. Chisuke stood silently beside Neong who was placing the dishes on white clothed table elegantly. Kiki sat on tiled floor, her tail gently swishing back and forth as she munch on the piece of meat Neong gave her. Chisuke's eyes roaming around the dishes before turning to him with her blank face.

" I didn't realised you are the chef of your own restaurant. "

Neong let out a chuckle before turning his head to her.

" We never hired any chef because the last thing I remembered and was told that it's our traditional restaurant which was once ran by my ancestors. Dishes here are prepared with special spices which nowdays not every chef can understand. "

Chisuke just stared at him. He soon placed the last plate of dish on table and turned to her.

" I heard you dream to be a chef. "

She blinked.

" What's your special signature dish? "

She blinked again.

" Signature dish? "

Neong chuckled, even though her face expression was blank he still could see curiosity and confusion in her eyes for some reason.

" Signature dish is your identity. It's that type of dish which is rare and unique and which identifies you individually. "

Chisuke just stared at him before speaking up.

" Then what's your signature dish? "

Without a single word, Neong slided a plate towards her. The plate was filled with strips of meat which looked crunchy and dry with some seasonings on top. He asked her to try them by hand movements. Chisuke paused a bit as she picked one strip up. It was hard, probably deep fried.

The moment the strip entered her mouth, her eyes sparkled. The strips tasted delicious! Crunchy but not dry as it looked. Not only seasonings but it had variety of spices in them which magically enhanced the taste even more. From outer portion it was deeply fried but while chewing it released a lot of spices. It didn't tasted like the meat she had consumed in her life. What kind of meat it is? And as if he read her mind, he answered.

" It's not meat. "

Chisuke couldn't help but take another strip as astonishment filled her eyes.

" Then what it is? It's similar to meat at looks. "

Neong chuckled softly before leaning closer to her. Their noses almost touching as he whispered.

" You are similar to goddess at looks too but you are human aren't you? Even though I don't mind calling you— My Goddess. "
