章 64: Chef! Meet The Girls!

"So this is where you were." Both Erina and Hisako shuddered hearing that voice.

If Erina could properly put it to words, then it would be like darkness itself whispering, or devil promising power, that kind of thing.

Xing Tong turned around and saw women looking in her twenties standing in the middle of the doors.

"Yueli..." The crimson princess softly said that, more like telling to Erina who this woman was.

The Heiress's eyes widened seeing just how insanely beautiful this woman was, same time she could tell what was her 'domain' of power, or dominant Law as Xing Tong says, wearing a black dress which looked like it was alive, and her long hair was like the starless night sky...

'This is Primordial Goddess of Darkness?' She slightly gulped down, this woman was nothing like Raynor! who looks like a super handsome guy, with air of power around him!

No... this woman was 'real deal', and it quite frightened her!

"Tong'er... it seems you have been showing around to our new residents..." Chu Yueli strolled through the doors, while her gaze was on the newcomers.

Both girls wanted to run and hide, the smile this goddess was showing was quite unnerving to them.

"Ray asked me too! so I did." Xing Tong said with crossed arms.

"I see..." The Younger Chu arrived in front of Erina who didn't know where to look.

"Well, aren't you interesting mortal girl..." She leaned slightly forwards.

"Your heart has some hidden darkness, interesting... your father's training perhaps?" Chu Yueli asked curiously, she only knows bare bones about the world Erina comes from, but her 'domain' can whisper hidden secrets to her.

Erina's whole body just shook for a second, Chu Yueli slightly narrowed her eyes at this, as she felt a spike of darkness in the girl.

She operated her laws on her, making sure it settled down, darkness like that is very dangerous to mortal beings, unlike God's who govern them.

"W-What just happened? what did you do?" Erina asked after realising that something just happened, she was about to go on memory trip remembering something she didn't want to, but then... nothing happened!

"Your darkness is dangerous for you, so I calmed it down, we will have a conversation about this properly later, and then we will make whoever traumatised you like this to feel pain."

Erina just gulped down as she felt endless pitch darkness flare around the woman before she turned around walked away.

That was the first meeting between Erina Nakiri and Primordial Goddess Of Darkness, she started to feel pity for her father...maybe just a little bit.

"It seems she found you to her liking..." Xing Tong said to the girl, who snapped out after hearing the Crimson Princess voice.

"Really? first she rilled me up, made me remember something... I don't like! and then she wants to know everything about it?!" Erina said in disbelieve and slight anger.

"You do remember that she is Goddess Of Darkness? and she wants to help you to get rid of your darkness? she is like the world best... 'psychiatrist'..." Xing Tong said with a casual shrug, earning a scowl from Erina, she doesn't like the idea that there are Gods who can see through her like this! not many people know about her past like this!

~~~

After finally deciding on her room, and putting all her stuff down, Erina was able to look around. But first she checked her room, it has a clash of both western and eastern cultures, but then she noticed quite a large window, she quickly walked over and looked through it.

Her eyes slightly widened when she noticed something...interesting...

"Why there are clouds in distance?" Her eyes looked specifically at the horizon, she could see clouds there, but once she looked up the sky...it was clear... such view was quite surreal...

"This... is... does this mean we are very high in air?" She asked that herself, realising what does that mean, she then quickly snapping out from this small shock, and looked lower and saw a sprawling Chinese style city.

There few tall building but the rest of them were around ground level.

She was quite intrigued by this, because there very little of this kind of buildings in her world remaining, at least at this kind of large level, it's like she was in distant past...

'That's a wrong way of putting this... I am not in past... more like fantasy setting...' Slowly but surely it started to sink to the Heiress where she was...

'Well this is going to be interesting...' She looked at her hand which was shaking from fear... or is it excitement?

~~~

After that Erina and always loyal secretary finally descent to the living room where they saw several very beautiful women waiting for them.

First one to approach the Heiress was a beautiful pink-haired girl with a ponytail.

"Hello! I am Serah Farron it's soo nice meeting you!" The pink head almost engulfed the orange head into a hug but older looking pink head stopped the younger girl in her tracks.

"Sarah you shouldn't just jump on people like this, even if you are that eager..." The older pink head said with sigh.

"But Lightning! Erina is like one of the best cooks in the whole wide world!" Serah said with a whiny voice.

Erina blushed a storm hearing that, just how much they know about her!?

"I do apologise for my little sister's actions, she is quite... cheerful when she meeting new people like this... by the way I am Lightning." The older pink head introduced herself.

Erina looked at the girl, she was beautiful, and she had a feeling that she has no qualms of fighting people, she just had that feeling.

"I-I see, I am Erina Nakiri, It's nice to meet you." Erina did a traditional Japanese bow, which earned a short amused smile on Lightning face.

"There is no need for you to do that."

Lightning motioned for the Heiress to stop that, Erina stopped bowing, and then was another pair of girls approaching them, the first one was similar to Chu Yueli, dressed in black skirt, and blue long-sleeved shirt, her hair was long, the other one was dressed in blue and silver one-piece skirt.

"She is right you know? Since you are invited by Ray, there is no need to do that, I am Xia Qingyue." Erina eyes widened when she heard that name, Xia Qingyue noticed the reaction and of course spike of fear in the girl.

"Now, now there is no need for you to be afraid of me." The Primordial Goddess of Yin said with a smile, which said 'I will have my way with you'.

"She is right, as long as you don't make Ray angry this girl over here will be an 'angel'." The other girl walked behind Xia Qingyue and put her hands on the black-dressed Goddess shoulders, Xia Qingyue just huffed for second, but said nothing.

"By the way I am Cang Yue, nice to meet you, Erina, I am just like fellow Goddess over here we are fans of yours." Now named Cang Yue with her eyes pointed at Xia Qingyue.

"We never had a professional chef around here, none of our dominant Laws are directly connected to that Law, while Cooking is considered universal one, having both Yin And Yang attributes, it still not our dominant one." Cang Yue said with a slight sigh.

Erina looked somewhat confused hearing that.

"But... it still means you are good at it no?" She asked curiously.

"Hmm, think of it like this, we are good at it, but not incredibly amazing, that why we have dominant law or laws, Raynor is the one who decided what laws we make our dominant, it related to technique we cultivate, we can't have them all dominant otherwise we will turn into machines who can do everything to perfection, this will make us lose our personalities." Cang Yue explained to Erina.

"Well it fun and all, but can I get some Ice cream?" A quite cold voice said to Erina.

The Heiress quickly turned to this source of voice, her eyes slightly widened because she saw white-haired girl, with blue eyes sitting in on the couch, more like laying on it.

"Bing'er don't be rude!" Another...woman with blonde platinum hair said to the white-haired girl.

"But master Li Suo! She is master cook! as Ice Phoenix it's my duty to taste what she can make from ice!" Bing'er said with extremely serious voice, It was slightly weird for Erina because it sounded so, so serious... yet, it was not, and she said that in cold voice.

"I do apologise for my disciple actions, Erina Nakiri but she has quite a rivalry with Xing Tong, and she is quite sour that she didn't taste your Strawberry Ice Cream." The Platinum Haired woman said that while looking at her disciple for second.

Erina looked at Bing'er who was on laying on the couch, she looked at her closer and did notice slight pout on it, it was very well hidden.

"Sorry to disappoint you Bing'er but Erina won't be able to cook in our home, for a few hours... because our appliances use Profound energy." That moment through main doors Raynor came in with his blond friend.

Both of them took off their shoes and got slippers on.

"And I think it's about time for Erina to taste some of Primal Chaos ingredients as well."

Erina eyes perked hearing that, she is up for it!

"That wouldn't be wise, Raynor." Li Sou quickly interrupted.

"All of Primal Chaos food have some Profound energy in them, and Erina doesn't have Profound veins, if she is to eat the food, that energy will have to go somewhere... it could be quite dangerous for her well being." Li Sou explained to them.

"Hmm, yeah now that you mentioned that..." Raynor looked at the Heiress.

"All right then, I will give you Profound Veins first, then we can talk about tasting things."

"Ok... so what do I have to do? and don't forget about Hisako! she is my secretary and attendant!" Erina said that while crossing her arms.

Raynor just chuckled hearing that.

"Of course, now show me which room you have chosen as yours, as you will be knocked out for an hour you will be resting there."

Erina eyes slightly widened hearing that.

"K-Knocked out? why?" She squeaked at him.

"Or you would prefer to feel how your body created a new pair of veins directly linked to your nerve system?" He asked that with raised eyebrow, Erina quickly shook her head in denial.

"N-No I am fine with sleeping through that process!" The Heiress don't even want to imagine the pain one would feel if it's he or she remain conscious and aware!

"Great! then let's get to it then!" Raynor motioned them to move on.

~~~

While Raynor and the duo went upstairs, they left his girls and his friend in the living room, Arno quickly realised that he was left for wolves!

But then he had a chance to breath when he saw that they didn't even bother with him, instead they started to talk among themselves.

"I was expecting elder sister to start asking question right away, you have quite shocked me!" Mu Bingyun asked her elder sister.

"I will do that Bingyun once she settle down first, right now she is like a little dear in forest full of wolves." Mu Xuanyin answered back to her little sister.

"Hmm, I am more interest in her past life." Xia Qingyue said to the rest of them.

"You have noticed that too Qingyue?" Chu Yueli asked her ex-disciple.

"Yes... it's quite disturbing, it's like she was trained in some twisted way to use her 'genetic gift'." Xia Qingyue said with an annoyed look.

Arno who was sitting some distance away heard that, he grimaced for second.

'It seems Raynor's girls don't know the full story of Erina's past, the authors of the manga haven't touched that yet, but it seems there will be quite a bit of destruction in wake after they find out.' The blonde teenager pitied whoever did that to Erina Nakiri, as these ladies won't going to rest before they find out.
